Chapter 552 Yun Weilan Knows Zhao Zhuang Chen's Truth

"Why are you in so hurry?"

One of the ministers who was packing his things in a hurry was asked by his companions.

The minister who was asked couldn't help but look at him incredulously when he heard the question.

A moment later, he suddenly shook his head as he suddenly thought about why he got stuck in between these fools.

Why did His Majesty not choose someone else?

Seeing the confused face of his other companions, he suddenly felt a little depressed inside his chest. He continued to pack his stuff and hid a dagger inside his sleeve.

His voice had a hint of anger as he explained coldly.

"What do you expect me to do after whatever has happened? We didn't get the success in our plan and the attacker is in their hands."

It could be seen that the minister was very agitated as he said this.

"Do you even know what it means? It means that they are just a few steps away from finding out that all this proposal of the treaty from Qin …all of it was just a pretense. They will find out that we were just sent here to avenge our dead Prince's death."

The other ministers surely swallowed as they heard all this but then the next moment, they looked causal and carefree and one of them even dared to say.

"They won't find out anything. His Majesty had assured us that the attacker was a very capable shadow guard. He won't reveal our names regardless of what kind of torture they would give him. His family…they were in Qin's Emperor's hands. He would never dare to reveal our names."

The other ministers also nodded their heads in assurance when they heard this.

Yes, their Emperor had assured them.

Seeing this, the minister who had just stopped speaking felt confident and continued.

"We can't leave in hurry like this. If we will leave like this, then we will create more dubious gazes on ourselves."

Again, there were more agreements.

However, the minister who was ready to leave merely shook his head in disappointment. He would also have believed his Emperor but he knew the prime Minister of Xin a little more than anyone in Qin did.

It was only he who had always talked to Xi Ying while they were at the border trying to reach some kind of pact that would be able to stop the war.

Every time, Xi Ying presented his Empire so well that the minister couldn't help but feel envious of Xin for having such a capable minister like Xi Ying.

If only Qin did have such a minister, it would not have reached the situation it was in now.

There was no one to ascend the throne.

All the princes lost their lives on the battlefield.

The prince who died in the last war was the only prince who was of suitable age to ascend the throne. Even after he died, the Emperor had a son who was just born.

So Qin had some assurance but just a month ago, the child died suddenly.

And hence now the Empire Qin whose Emperor was already sixty-five years old didn't have any heir.

Not only this, their economic condition was also not right.

All the money that should have been used for the Empire was used in the war and hence ordinary citizens are starving and there are riots in every street.

Even in this kind of situation, their Emperor wanted to do nothing but take revenge on Xin.

It was not Xin who was responsible for their current circumstances.

It was them.

It was the Emperor.

It was only now the minister could see everything. However, his companions were still blind to everything for him.

How could they rest assured from the assurances that the Emperor gave to them! The Emperor was blind in the anger of taking revenge.

It didn't matter to him even if they lost their lives while fulfilling his desire of taking his revenge.

He won't be foolish like them.

Thinking this, the minister immediately raised his feet to leave the chambers. However, just at this moment, the door of the chambers was kicked open and when the minister saw Xi Ying standing at the door, his face went deathly pale.

.

.

.

Inside his chambers, Zhao Zhuang Chen was drinking the wine.

His eyes were cold as he stared at nothing in particular and swallowed the wine from the glass.

When he raised the huge mug to pour the wine into the glass, he got angry at seeing that it was empty.

"Where are you all useless people!"

An angry shout sounded inside his chambers.

In just a moment, a maid came running inside the chambers. However, Zhao Zhuang Chen looked angrier on seeing her and said angrily

"What are you doing here? Where is she? As her to come here with the wine!"

The maid immediately nodded her head as she understood whom Zhao Zhuang Chen was stalking.

It was almost when Zhao Zhuang Chen was about to lose his calm, that Yun Weilan entered the chambers with another mug of wine in her hands.

Yun Weilan stepped forward with an indifferent face and poured the wine into his glass.

Zhao Zhuang Chen also sat down on his chair silently and picked up the glass from the table. Yun Weilan continued to stand beside him silently.

She knew that if she tried to leave then she would get nothing but more humiliation so it was better to stand here silently until this drunkard would go to sleep after consuming a lot of wine.

Zhao Zhuang Chen drank one glass after another without any stop.

After a quarter of shichen his body was unable to support himself and hence he was leaning on the chair.

Yun Weilan frowned and stepped away.

She could smell the alcohol even at such a large distance. She had never liked this smell but it never mattered in Delan Palace what she liked or what she did not.

When Zhao Zhuang Chen didn't move for a long time, Yun Weilan thought that he was finally asleep so she was about to leave.

However, the next moment, her wrist was suddenly grasped. The scream almost escaped her mouth when she was pulled back roughly.

Zhao Zhuang Chen's cold eyes stared back at her.

Yun Weilan had never seen him like this before. At this moment, he looked like a hideous beast who could kill anyone in front of him.

Her heart was filled with fear and she wanted to struggle to get free but then again she was afraid that her struggle would only anger him more.

Just when she was thinking of what she should do, Yun Weilan heard something shocking from Zhao Zhuang Chen's mouth.

"Why did that bastard not die? I planned so nicely. I hid so well from Xi Ying that the convoy was planning to attack Zhao Zhang Wei….then w..hy did he still get saved?"

Towards the end of his words, Zhao Zhuang Chen didn't seem to have any energy to continue speaking so his voice slurred a little but Yun Weilan still heard everything clearly.

Zhao Zhuang Chen was already unconscious. His grip on her wrist had loosened but she stood there like a frozen statue.

She was too shocked to hear the truth.
