His Rui

Chapter 448 - The Angry Qin Wenya

Qin Wenya's lips were quivering as she stood there silently. Her fists were tightly clenched inside her sleeves when she moved away from her eyes from Zhao Zhang Wei.

"That's good then. Bengong is happy that second son is happy."

What else she could say after what Zhao Zhang Wei said?

On the other hand, Yi Huiqing stood there silently unable to comprehend what was going on. She wondered why she felt the relief on seeing Zhao Zhang Wei.

Did she perhaps still believe that he would never let anything wrong happen to her?

But he really did that.

Yi Huiqing put a full stop to her thoughts when she felt her heart beating very fast inside her chest. She didn't want to go in that direction again. She had turned to look at her life with a new perspective with very difficulty.

She didn't want to change this perception again.

She could be happy alone too. She didn't need Zhao Zhang Wei to protect her. Even if he had not come, she would have just lowered her head and begged Qin Wenya to forgive Lin Daiyu. Though it would be hurt her self-respect a little, protecting Lin Daiyu who was here solely because of her, was the most important thing.

Still, since Zhao Zhang Wei had helped her this once, she would remember it and would surely repay him.

She came out of her thoughts when she heard Qin Wenya speaking again

"Bengong had already helped you in asking His Majesty to give you leave from the Imperial Court. You should rest in your chambers. All these matters can wait."

Qin Wenya said while Yi Huiqing looked at her with surprise.

She could finally see how Qin Wenya lived in the Imperial Palace for so many years. Being able to compose herself so soon, and thinking of how to control the situation again, she was vvery capable of doing that.

Even Zhao Zhang Wei had a mocking smile on his lips.

What helped in taking a leave …She just didn't want him to attend Imperial Court at all so that Zhao Zhuang Chen can increase his influence.

She thinks that by doing this, she can put all the things in her son's favor. Zhao Zhang Wei didn't say anything to clear Qin Wenya's misunderstanding.

He wanted her to experience the foolishness of her plan on her own.

"Thanking Your Majesty for the concern and this big favor."

He bowed his head and said politely.

Qin Wenya just waved her hand and then she suddenly looked at Concubine Shaolin who was standing behind her.

After that, she turned to look at Yi Huiqing again and said softly

"Since Wangfei is unwell…"

"Let Concubine Shaolin take care of Second Son and handle Xinhe Palace's affairs."

Zhao Zhang Wei frowned deeply and turned to look at Yi Huiqing. He didn't know that she had been unwell. His cold eyes then went at Eunuch Zhang who immediately shook his head indicating that he knew nothing about this.

Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes narrowed and Eunuch Zhang could feel the sweat rolling down his back. He knew very well that his master would not let go of this matter so easily. He had asked him to ensure that he should get every news related to wangfei as soon as possible and he had been unable to do that.

Concubine Shaolin's eyes were first filled with shock and when she registered what Qin Wenya had just said in her mind, they brightened immediately.

She could not want anything else at this moment.

She immediately came to stand in front of the Empress and then kneeled down on the ground.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry at all about Xinhe Palace. This concubine had always wanted to decrease some burden from wangfei's shoulders and this concubine is very happy to take care of His Highness as well."

Concubine Shaolin couldn't help but blush when she said the last sentence.

From the corner of her eyes, she looked at Zhao Zhang Wei only to see that he was looking somewhere else.

When she followed his gaze, she couldn't help but clench her fists inside her sleeves.

It was Yi Huiqing again. She didn't understand at all what does Yi Huiqing have that Zhao Zhang Wei didn't even want to look somewhere else.

She was not blind not to see how Zhao Zhang Wei had been looking at Yi Huiqing since the moment he had come out of his chambers.

But she could always change it. She believed in herself. Now she even had a chance. She would be more closer to him than Yi Huiqing and she would try her best to win Zhao Zhang Wei's heart in this period.

Qin Wenya smiled coldly seeing Shaolin gaze fixed at Yi Huiqing that was full of contempt and hatred.

Shaolin didn't even know that she was chosen not because Qin Wenya saw her dedication and love for Zhao Zhang Wei. She was chosen because Qin Wenya wanted to choose her to fulfill her purpose.

Because Qin Wenya wanted to use her envy for her own use and then harm Zhao Zhang Wei in the worst possible way.

Did not he like Yi Huiqing too much?

He would of course have to lose her then so that in the despair of losing her, he would lose the path of the throne.

.

Qin Wenya didn't say for long.

After she left, Zhao Zhang Wei immediately walked to Yi Huiqing ignoring Concubine Shaolin who was also walking towards him.

"Are you unwell? Did you call the physician to check you?"

Zhao Zhang Wei asked Yi Huiqing one question after another.

He even stretched out his hand to touch Yi Huiqing's forehead to feel her temperature. However, Yi Huiqing flinched at the touch and immediately stepped back.

Zhao Zhang Wei's hanging hand froze and a lost look appeared in his eyes as he put down his hand back without saying anything.

Yi Huiqing perhaps realized that she should not have reacted like this when they were out. She looked around and was relieved to see that almost every servant had his head lowered and was not looking at them.

However, she didn't notice Concubine Shaolin who was standing behind Zhao Zhang Wei, and seeing all this.

Concubine Shaolin eyes were filled with shock when she saw Yi Huiqing avoiding Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes. She suddenly seemed to realize something important.

Did Yi Huiqing not allow Zhao Zhang Wei to touch her?

She covered her mouth to hide her smile and lowered her head immediately.

This thing…she would sue very well in her favor.

'A man who was deprived of this joy…it must not be difficult to win such a man, right?'

Or that was what Shaolin had thought.
