Chapter 528 Yi Jie Wants To See Li Na And Li Caihong's Doom

The old nanny almost stopped breathing at the question.

Her forehead was covered with sweat as she tried to come up with some kind of answer. However, she couldn't come up with any.

What was she supposed to say?

That she knew about Li Na and Li Caihong drugging Li Rui four years ago during the banquet. Princess Wenling also seemed to realize that the old nanny was hiding something. She looked at the front where Xi Ying was speaking to the Emperor about the incident of four years ago.

He was telling each and every detail as if he was there when all this had transpired four years ago.

No one knew how many times Xi Ying had repeated Li Rui's words inside his mind …each and every word as she had told him everything about that incident.

Princess Wenling looked at the badly beaten Imperial guard again and signed the old nanny to follow her outside the banquet hall.

The old nanny gulped. She tried to attract Eunuch Wang's attention towards her. However, the old Eunuch never looked toward her.

The old nanny sighed helplessly.

She couldn't even ask the old Eunuch for help.

She sighed in frustration and helplessness again and followed the princess out of the banquet hall.

"Your Majesty, so this was how this Lord's wife, Li Rui had managed to save herself that day."

Xi Ying finished his words coldly.

Everyone inside the banquet hall was silent.

It was scary.

Everything Xi Ying described was very scary. The maidens who heard his each and every word had pale faces. They imagined how helpless Li Rui must have felt under the effect of the drugs. The effect that aphrodisiacs could have on a person's body was known to almost every adult inside the banquet hall.

But she still fought against that man.

Not only did she fight, she even killed that man.

If it was really Li Na and Li Caihong who had drugged Li Rui, then they were the cruelest pair of sisters that no one would want to have.

Some people were still confused and suspicious and to erase all these suspicions, Xi Ying suddenly took out a few documents and took a few steps forward to hand them over to Eunuch Wang who then showed those documents to Zhao Wang Lei.

Zhao Wang Lei's fingers almost clenched around the paper when he understood what those documents said.

Xi Ying had come this time with full preparation.

Zhao Wang Lei concluded inside his heart.

This time he would really free Li Rui of the bad reputation she had in the Imperial City.

At the same time, he wondered why Xi Ying was doing all this. Was it only because of his unborn child who was inside Li Rui's abdomen now or was it something else completely?

However, it didn't matter anymore, Zhao Wang Lei tried to assure himself. What will Li Rui do with the good reputation when she wouldn't be alive anymore.

Thinking this, Zhao Wang Lei decided to pay attention to this matter sincerely. Since it didn't matter anymore then he should just complete Xi Ying's with this once. Perhaps this would make the young prime minister happy and he would be able to get more work from Xi Ying in the future.

With these selfish thoughts occupying his mind, Zhao Wang Lie flipped the pages and he instantly put a cold face when he reached the last page.

After that, he passed those two documents to Eunuch Wang and asked him to announce to everyone what these documents were about exactly.

Standing a few steps away from Xi Ying, Li Na had been looking at those documents constantly as if her continuous stare would give her an answer to what exactly those documents were about.

Li Caihong was standing silent as Li Rong held her daughter.

The three women's hearts almost jumped out of their chests when they heard Eunuch Wang's announcement.

"These two documents are the proof that it was Second Young Miss Li and Third Young Miss Li who had bought the aphrodisiacs from the red district. Not once but twice. Once it was Second Young Miss Li and then the second time it was Third Young Miss Li."

Eunuch Wang stilled and confused almost everyone inside the banquet family except for Li Family who already knew everything.

After all, Xi Ying had revealed everything about Li Na and Li Caihong's deeds to them just a few days ago.

Yi Jie's heart was however still filled with anger when she looked at Li Rong's daughters. For the first time in her life, she felt so much hatred for anyone.

She felt whatever Xi Ying was doing was the right thing.

Why should Li Na and Li Caihong live happily when her daughter had suffered so much because of them!

And this ointment incident had made her only more furious.

Li Caihong dared to ask for the ointment after throwing one already and when her daughter who had all the right to refuse her, refused her, she dared to spread rumors about her daughter.

Yi Jie was not a fool who believed that it was really not Li Na and Li Caihong who spread these rumors.

Who could know about this incident except for them if they didn't talk about it with anyone?

And what purpose could they have when they talked about this incident with someone else.

"Heng…"

She whispered suddenly making General Li look at her.

"Tell me…"

Yi Jie's eyes were filled with angry tears as she continued almost in a whisper

"Am I cruel to wish that His Majesty will give them a life sentence or …perhaps grant them public execution?"

General Li sighed as his arms embraced his wife. He didn't care that they were sitting in the banquet hall. His topmost priority was to comfort his wife.

He felt distressed especially when he noticed how pale her face was.

"You should rest for some time."

General Li said gently. However, Yi Jie shook her head and said

"I want to be here to witness their punishment. I could not be there when my daughter was going through all the suffering in Xi Manor or anywhere else. At least let me be here."

So General Li could only sigh helplessly after hearing his wife's words.

No one noticed Li Qiang who was silently hearing Yi Jie's each and every word. His whole body was still and his hands were clenched tightly inside his lap.

From his blank eyes, no one could guess what was going on inside his mind.
