Chapter 657 The Second Prince Was Caught Red Handed

??He knew that now he could only wait for Xi Ying's return and then try to find out where did he go. He walked towards the couch to sit and suddenly one more matter attracted his attention.

??"Any news about Youxio's shadow guards?"

??The shadow guard who was kneeling raised his head quite immediately this time.

??"Your Majesty, we have seen a few of them flying towards the west of the Empire …towards the valleys." 

??Zhao Wang Lei's eyes flickered with coldness.

??He had spent quite a large amount of money on them. The same money he could have used to hire so many people who could work for him. 

??"Go and find out. If they are living there then… destroy them." 

??He whispered coldly. 

??"Bring back all the wealth they have. They must be possessing a huge amount after killing so many people over the years."

??Eunuch Wang's eyes widened. 

??He raised his head to look at his master. He wanted to remind his master who actually Youxio was, Could the shadow guards his master would send would really be able to fight with Youxio's shadow guards? 

??However, when he looked at the ruthlessness flickering in his master's eyes, fear crawled into Eunuch Wang's heart. 

??And he went silent with a helpless sigh escaping his lips. He just wished that they would not lose too many people on their side.

??.

??.

??.

??"How is wangfei?"

??Zhao Zhang Wei who was standing outside Yi Huiqing's chambers asked the old physician who had just exited after checking Yi Huiqing. 

??"Wangfei is alright, Your Highness. The wound will heal completely in a few weeks."

??Zhao Zhang Wei was relieved and nodded his head. 

??He waved his hand to dismiss the old physician. 

??After the old physicians left, he looked at the slightly opened gates of his wife's chambers wondering if he should go inside or not. 

??After the last time when she had asked him not to visit her chambers, he had not appeared in front of her …at least when she was awake. 

??Because whenever she was asleep, he was sitting by her side in the chambers and once he would feel that she was about to wake up, he would run away from her chambers like a thief. 

??Zhao Zhang Wei knew that he was making a fool of himself in front of the people working in Lnatai Courtyard but he didn't care.

??The urge to stay beside her and take care of her was very strong than his wish to stay a dignified prince in other people's eyes.   

??He cleared his throat before he asked Lin Daiyu who was standing with her head bowed in front of him.

??"What is she doing now?"

??Lin Daiyu's head was lowered but she looked a little helpless as she told him.

??"Wangfei has just gone to sleep, Your Highness."

??Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes brightened. He almost smiled in joy but composed his expression as he started to walk towards the gates. 

??"Don't let anyone disturb."

??He said to Lin Daiyu before he stepped inside the chambers. However, he didn't notice Lin Daiyu's helplessness and panic-filled eyes as she looked at his back. 

??Waah…She was also not at any fault! 

??As Lin Daiyu had said, Yi Huiqing was sleeping …quite peacefully. 

??Zhao Zhang Wei smiled as he stepped towards the bed and sat on the edge. She slept quite deeply. He has noticed or perhaps it was because of the effect of the medicine. 

??He smiled as he raised his hand to caress her cheek which had started to gain color finally. 

??"Get well soon. I want to talk about a lot of things with you."

??He whispered gently as he suddenly leaned down to kiss her nose. 

??However, even before his lips could touch her nose, he felt a hand on his chest stopping him. 

??Frowning, Zhao Zhang Wei opened his eyes and they were soon filled with shock. 

??A pair of eyes glared back at his phoenix eyes and he heard the woman under him saying sharply.

??"This wangfei never knew that Your Highness had this talent as well. Entering someone's chambers like a thief when they are sleeping…"

??Zhao Zhang Wei gulped as he pulled away and sat straight on the bed. He, however, didn't look in Yi Huiqing's eyes as he said in a very dignified voice. 

??"I don't know what you are talking about."

??Yi Huiqing frowned as she felt weird the way Zhao Zhang Wei talked to her. When did he start to speak so informally with her! She remembered this has happened before too 

??…but only today did she notice the frequent occurrence of that. 

??She smiled bitterly wondering when they become close enough to start talking informally.     

??Pushing away the bitterness, Yi Huiqing focused her attention on the matter in hand. 

??She looked at him but his face was turned away. However, she didn't mind as she got up and leaned against the bedrest. 

??Zhao Zhang Wei wanted to help him when he felt her moving. However, Yi Huiqing avoided her hands and looked at him with a narrowed pair of eyes.

??"Can Your Highness enlighten this wangfei what is going on?"

??Zhao Zhang Wei's heart was filled with panic. Did she know anything …but how? 

??However, he had an emotionless face as he shrugged his shoulders and said 

??"What is going on?!"

??After that, he looked at Yi Huiqing with confusion-filled eyes and said 

??"I think you need to rest, Qinqqing. The physician said that you would be completely fine within a few weeks. Come I will help you."

??He said gently as he tried to divert her attention. However, Yi Huiqing pushed his hands away and said coldly.

??"Your Highness, this wangfei is aware that Your Highness has been coming to this wangfei's chambers when this wangfei was asleep." 

??Zhao Zhang Wei's heart sank down inside his chest when he sensed the coldness in her voice. She was angry…very angry. 

??He wondered silently how he should apologize when he heard her continuing. 

??Yi Huiqing was very calm when she said her next words. However,  her next words stabbed his heart more sharply like a knife than her last words which were said in a cold tone. 

??"Your Highness, if it is because this wangfei saved your life then Your Highness doesn't need to feel as if he owes something to this wangfei. If it had been anyone else in Your Highness's place, this wangfei would have done the same even then."
