His Rui

Chapter 597 The Restless Xi Ying

The prison smelt very bad.

He took out the handkerchief from his sleeve and pressed it under his nose. The scent that he loved deeply immediately wafted through his nose.

It belonged to none other than his wife.

Xi Ying didn’t feel any shame in carrying a handkerchief that was usually carried by ladies.

It gave him releif whenever he felt restless for seeing her. He would carres it inside his sleeve using his other hand when he would feel bored by the ongoing discussions in the Imperial Court.

Even Imperial guard noticed the unusualness of his handkerchief but then didn’t say anything when he saw Xi Ying’s cold eyes.

With a pair of cold and indifferent eyes, Xi Ying looked at the ministers from the convoy who were now nothing but prisoners of Xin.

They were crawling away from him at his sight.

It could be seen just how much they were afraid of him.

The Imperial Guard didn’t know whether he should be feeling proud that such a minister belonged to his Empire or he should feel scared on seeing just how sinister this young Prime minister could be.

”Drag one of them out.”

Immediately almost all the ministers crawled to the farthest corner except the one who had been ready to leave the Imperial Palace as soon as the person hired by then had been arrested.

His eyes didn’t have any fear as he looked at the approaching Imperial guard.

The other ministers looked at him with confusion.

But Xi Ying knew that look very well.

While others were afraid of the torture that could perhaps make them lose their lives, this minister was just waiting for his death.

He wanted to die so that he would be able to free himself from the life that others were hoingyto have in a few days.

However what he didn’t know was that Xi Ying’s plan was very different from what they had thought.

All the ministers were beaten were badly so they didn’t have any strength to stand on their legs.

Hence, the Imperial guard, as Xi Ying said really dragged out the minister with blank eyes.

After they were out of the prison cell, Xi Ying ordered coldly.

”Prepare a beautiful carriage.”

The Imeprial Guard looked confused by Xi Ying’s words, however, he knew that it was better of he didn’t question Prime Minister Xi.

His curiosity was very less than his wish to stay alive.

However, when Xi Ying said his next words, he couldn’t stop himself from saying anything

”Drop the carriage at the border of their Empire with him being inside it.”

The minister who had been hearing Xi Ying’s words suddenly looked very scared.

On the other hand, those who were inside the prison cell looked at each other with wide eyes when they heard Xi Ying.

They understood very well that this was the way Xi Ying had chosen to let their Emperor know that his stupid plan didn’t get successful.

However, what came to their mind was that they had the chance to go back to their Empire but they missed it stupidly.

Immediately all of then crawled to the bars and started begging Xi Ying to send in place of the already chosen minister.

The chose minister looked at the other two minister with an exhausted expression on his face.

They were fool in his eyes.

Were they thinking that once they will reach their Empire, they would be completely safe.

The minister shook his head as he remembered the face of the stupid and crazy Emperor.

As much as he knew that old Emperor, he would never let others know that a plan that was planned by him didn’t get successful and the people he had chosen for this plan were arrested by Xin.

He would never let others know of this thing and to hide this, he will immediately kill him also.

However, the minister was not afraid in the slightest because he really wished to die.

Even if his life was given to him after reaching the Empire, he would still prefer to die as he knew very well just how what kind of state his Empire was in.

In one or other way, the only thing written in his fate was death.

The Imeprial Guard looked hesitant after hearing Xi Ying’s words.

When Xi Ying didn’t hear any response, he looked at him and saw this.

”His Majesty had given all the freedom to this Lord to deal with their Empire.”

The Imeprial Guard was already scared when he saw Xi Ying’s cold eyes on himself.

After he heard his words, he didn’t dare to say anything or show any heistance.

Instead, he dragged the silent minister out while all others continued to beg Xi Ying to choose them.

Ignoring their pleadings, Xi Ying left the dungeons.

After that, he went to the Imperial Court.

The Imperial assembly was about to start.

Xi Ying walked to sit on his seat. Soon Zhao Wang Lei entered and everyone stood up from their seats including Xi Ying.

However while all others kneeled down on the ground, Xi Ying stood fearlessly while his cold eyes followed Zhao Wang Lei’s figure as the latter walked towards the throne.

After he had come to know of the attack that had been planned by Zhao Wang Lei, Xi Ying’s was more eager to dethrone him and kill him.

However, at the same time, he remembered those Youxio’s shadow guards who were still tied in Plum Courtyard.

Xi Ying frowned deeply as his body went still.

In all thei chaos and his anger towrads Zhao Wang Lei, he forgot about those shadow guards completely.

He should have at least have them move to somewhere else in Xi Manor.

Xi Ying’s heart was suddenly very restless.

However he could not leave the Imperial Court right now.

He could only sit on his seat when Zhao Wang Lei waved his hand and wait for the Imperial Assembly to end.
