His Rui

At the same time, he remembered something else that involved Xi Ying’s dearest wife, Li Rui. 

Zhao Wang Lei’s thoughts came to halt when Eunuch Wang suddenly stepped inside the room with a man following him dressed in black clothes.

”Your Majesty”

Eunuch Wang bowed his head while the man who was dressed in black looked at Zhao Wang Lei for a few moments before he bowed his head slightly. 

Without acknowledging Eunuch Wang’s greeting, Zhao Wang Lei looked at the man who was dressed in black clothes. 

All of his face except his eyes was covered with a mask. 

The mask that gave him the recognition of who he was. However, the cold and emotionless eyes gave Zhao Wang Lei the idea that he was really the right person for the job he wanted to be done. 

”So you are the head of Youxio’s shadow guards group?”

Zhao Wang Lei asked coldly and the man replied with a short and cold answer. 

”No!” 

The answer made Zhao Wang Lei frown deeply and he looked at Eunuch Wang as he said 

”Didn’t we ask you to bring the head member-only here?” 

Eunuch Wang also looked a little baffled and confused as he said 

”Your Majesty, this servant had written the letter for the head member-only and had especially asked that Your Majesty wanted to see the head member only. When this servant saw this man outside the Imperial Palace, this servant thought he was the head member only.”

Zhao Wang Lei shook his head in disappointment. 

Youxio’s shadow guards group was the group of shadow guards who took the deals to kill the people in exchange for money. 

Zhao Wang Lei had pondered for a long time before he had finally decided to summon the head member to the Imperial Palace. 

It had been their record that they have never missed any deal before so Zhao Wang Lei couldn’t find anyone else who was suitable for this kind of work. 

The most suitable thing about this organization was that they never revealed the name of the people who had asked them to do it and who were asked to be killed even if they are caught and on the brink of death.

In his early years when he had just become a prince, Zhao Wang Lei remembered that he had done a lot of research on this group of shadow guards. In fact, he was assigned to destroy these people because this kind of organization was not a good thing for the Empire. 

However, when had he thought that one day, he would need help from the same organization. 

Zhao Wang Lei needed help from someone else because so many people from his side had already died in their attempts of killing Li Rui but they never succeeded so in the end, he could come up with this solution only.

In fact, he had been thinking about this for a long time now, and hence he had already asked Eunuch Wang to write a letter to this organization and ask them to come to the Imperial City. 

Because he was afraid that when he would get the opportunity, they wouldn’t be there. 

For so many weeks, he had been paying a large sum of money for their stay in the Imperial City, and finally today, he had gotten the opportunity to get his job done. 

”Zhen wants to meet the head of your group. You can leave and ask him to come here immediately.” 

The shadow guard however stood there silently and didn’t move even a little bit. His cold and emotionless eyes stared at Zhao Wang Lei as he told him.

”Your Majesty might be thinking that our leader would listen to Your Majesty’s command because Your Majesty is the Emperor of this Empire. However, Your Majesty is very wrong.”

Zhao Wang Lei’s eyes narrowed to an infinitesimal amount hearing these words.

It could be seen that he didn’t like what the shadow guard said just now. 

However, the shadow guard didn’t look afraid at all as he continued 

”Your Majesty might be the Emperor of Xin but he is nothing but a person who can also bribe Youxiu and hence just a customer for our organization as well as for our leader. In Youxiu’s eyes, nothing matters but money. 

As long as Youxiu is getting money, we don’t differentiate between our customers regardless of who and what they are.”

”So, Your Majesty is no different from the other clients Youxiu had handled in the past and our leader has never met a single client of ours in the past.”

The words were direct and very disrespectful to an Emperor and Zhao Wang Lei was obviously very angry but he suppressed it. 

Because he knew that whatever the shadow guard was saying was true.

They never differentiated between the customers. Money was all in their eyes. If someone gave them a huge sum of money to kill him then Zhao Wang Lei knew that they wouldn’t hesitate to do that also. 

So he breathed deeply and said 

”Alright! Then we will tell you the person you need to kill.”

The shadow guard nodded his head and carefully listened to the description and the place he would be able to find this person, the Emperor wanted to kill. 

After carefully hearing everything the shadow guard left the Imperial Palace. 

Zhao Wang Lei waved his hand to dismiss the Eunuch who was about to open his mouth to apologize. The old Eunuch knew that his master was disappointed in him and displeased by the shadow guard’s behavior. 

However, after Zhao Wang Lei dismissed him he couldn’t say and could only leave silently. 

He smiled coldly and his eyes narrowed.

This time he would finally hit Xii Ying’s ego and put him in his place. Did he tell him that Li Rui was pregnant with his child!

Not only will he get rid of that Li Rui but also Xi Ying’s child.
