Chapter 506 A Love That Was Engraved In Soul

Qin Wenya waved her hand again to dismiss the old Momo.

After the old Momo left, she turned to look at Zhao Wang Lei.

Her eyes flickered with coldness when she noticed that he again was looking in the same direction.

She wondered how she never noticed this in the past few years.

Zhao Wang Lei must have looked at Yi Jie just like this in those banquets of the past few years also.

Qin Wenya suppressed the burning fire inside her chest and said softly

"Your Majesty."

Zhao Wang Lei turned to look at Qin Wenya.

Inside his heart, he was very annoyed.

He already doesn't get many chances to look at his beloved woman.

Only today when he had the chance, Qin Wenya was not letting him do this.

However, he could do nothing except for keeping a polite smile on his lips and ask Qin Wenya

"Is there something wrong, My Empress?"

Qin Wenya smiled politely in return as she said

"No, Your Majesty. Actually, Bengong just wanted to help Your Majesty."

Zhao Wang Lei looked confused and Qin Wenya continued

"Did Your Majesty not want to know who is missing from the banquet?"

In the banquet hall, the Nobel family members noticed the Emperor and Empress talking to each other 'harmoniously' and they felt happy.

After all, an Empire people would always feel happy if the Emperor of that Empire was living harmoniously with the Empress of that Empire.

Because it meant peace in that Empire.

Never did those people know what actually was going on inside these two people's minds.

Zhao Wang Lei didn't notice but Qin Wenya said her words very sarcastically.

After all, why would he need to do such a thing?

He had people who would look into these matters and then inform him who and why he was missing.

Still, since he had already made such an excuse. Qin Wenya was now going to use it.

"Bengong had found a person who was missing from the banquet."

Hearing the reason why Qin Wenya has called him, Zhao Wang Lei felt more annoyed.

However, on the surface, he smiled more gently and asked

"The Empress has worked hard. So who is this person?"

Qin Wenya looked ahead.

Her eyes then went to look towards Xi Ying and she said gently

"Your Majesty, it is Lady Li, Prime Minister Xi's wife who didn't come to the banquet."

Zhao Wang Lei, who had not been paying much attention to Qin Wenya until now swiftly looked in Xi Ying's direction.

How did he not notice it before!

Li Rui was indeed missing from the banquet hall.

Did it mean that she didn't attend the banquet and Xi Ying was here alone!

But it also meant that Li Rui was there alone in Xi Manor...at least Xi Ying was not there!

His phoenix eyes flickered and the wheels of his mind turned faster.

Until he was interrupted by Qin Wenya who asked him.

"Will Your Majesty not ask Prime Minister Xi why Lady Li didn't attend the banquet or is everything alright with Lady Li?"

Zhao Wang Lei nodded his head and said in his deep voice.

"We shall wait for this performance to end."

Qin Wenya smiled and said politely.

" As Your Majesty wishes."

The performance lasted a few more minutes and as soon as it ended, Zhao Wang Lei signed his eunuch to come closer.

Eunuch Wang did as his master said.

He leaned down to hear what Zhao Wang Lei was saying to him.

A moment later, the old Eunuch stepped backward and then turned around to look in Xi Ying's direction.

"Prime Minister Xi."

Though Eunuch Wang was old and perhaps the oldest Eunuch in the Imperial Palace, his voice was very loud and audible to almost everyone in the banquet hall.

Xi Ying's cold and indifferent eyes slowly moved to look in his direction.

"Prime Minister Xi, please step forward. His Majesty wishes to interrogate Prime Minister Xi regarding something."

Xi Ying raised his eyebrows and silently stood up from his seat.

He walked to stand just in front of Zhao Wang Lei.

His back was straight as he looked ahead. Contrary to someone who will bow his head and kneel in front of the Emperor at such a moment, Xi Ying didn't need to do so.

He, after all, was exempted from that and it had been Zhao Wang Lei himself who had given him this exemption.

"His Majesty wishes that Prime Minister Xi would explain the reason behind his wife, Lady Li's absence from the banquet."

And the banquet hall went silent for a few moments.

Sitting on her seat, Princess Wenling who looked very sad until now when she had been looking at Xi Ying suddenly had bright eyes.

She was really looking forward to hearing Xi Ying's answer. Though she was confined in her chambers, Princess Wenling still heard every ongoing rumor in the Imperial City of Li Rui.

Today, when she did not see Li Rui with Xi Ying, a hope had emerged inside her heart.

Perhaps Xi Ying had really stopped liking Li Rui after this. After all, who would like a woman who was staining his clan's reputation like this!

Looking at Xi Ying's cold and indifferent face, Princess Wenling wondered if she finally would have a chance to win his heart.

On the other hand, Xi Ying smiled coldly at the silence lingering inside the banquet hall.

Each pair of eyes was fixed on him, indicating how people were looking forward to hearing his answer.

His heart was filled with coldness because they were trying to make fun of his Rui in this huge banquet hall.

Otherwise, why would the Emperor ask him such a question here, at this moment!

He could have easily explained the reason behind his wife's absence after this banquet but Zhao Wang Lei chose to ask him this now only.

Xi Ying scoffed silently.

Did they really think that he was this fickle!

Even if the whole world would be against his Rui, he would still be standing beside her …protecting her and making sure that she was happy.

Then what these rumors could do to affect his love for His Rui?

Nothing could affect this love because this love was engraved in his soul.

This love was not only for this life…it had been there for so many lives that no one could imagine.
