His Rui

Chapter 656 The Angry Emperor In The City

　　Li Rui told him many more things than she had told the others. She also told him that it was going to be a week-long treatment and at least one of them needed to be there. 

　　That's why she was telling everything to him. 

　　She wanted him to be aware of what to do in her absence. 

　　The old physician understood and heard everything carefully. He also asked again in case he didn't understand something. 

　　After a shichen, he was feeling as if someone has opened a new door of the world to him. He had never known that there existed so much in the world of medicines or he should in a human body. 

　　Li Rui was telling him how one could control the whole body and the disease inside them with just a few points. 

　　The old physician also picked a rice paper from the table and hurriedly jotted down the things he deemed to be important on it. However, once he started writing, he couldn't help but feel as if everything was important so he wrote as much as he could. 

　　When he was near the cloth he needed to flip to go outside the tent, he hid the paper inside his robe. He understood very well that whatever Li Rui had told him, he ought not to tell anything of this to anyone else otherwise she would not have told all of this to him only. 

　　The old physician was wise enough to understand this. 

　　So he hid the paper and stepped outside the tent. 

　　With a straight face, he started to walk towards the tent he was sharing with the physician who was around his age. 

　　He didn't behave weirdly when he stepped out of the tent though his heart was itching to take out the paper and read it again so that he would be able to remember everything. But he suppressed his urge and started to do other things. 

　　He read the paper that Li Rui had given to every other physician as well.

　　All this while, the other old physician was looking at him calmly but with probing eyes. 

　　A moment later, he suddenly opened his mouth and said politely

　　"I didn't introduce myself to you. I am Wong Ruan. They called me Physician Ruan."

　　The old physician heard his words. He frowned because he didn't like it when someone interrupted him while he was reading something. 

　　However, keeping in mind that the other party was also around of his age and perhaps the only person who was around of his age here, he raised his head and acknowledged him with a polite nod. 

　　However, that was all. After that, he never bothered to introduce himself and continued to do his own work. 

　　Physician Ruan was very angry at this kind of behavior. 

　　No one has ever dared to behave like this with him. 

　　His palm was itching to do something but he stopped himself. He still needed to find out a lot of things. If he created some chaos, then it might result in him running away from this valley because there were too many shadow guards and he might not be able to fight so many people. 

　　He looked at the old physician again. He wanted to find out what that girl told him separately. Somehow he had an inclination that it was something very important about this treatment and if it was…then he needed to find it out.

　　And he was going to find it out. 

　　He thought as his eyes flashed with arrogance.

　　(In the Imperial Palace)

　　Slam!

　　Zhao Zhang Wei thrashed the table away in anger. His phoenix eyes were filled with anger as he said to the kneeling shadow guard 

　　"You can't find out where did Xi Ying go? What can you people even do? Have we been feeding a bunch of useless fools?"

　　As he said this, he flipped another table inside the Imperial Chambers. 

　　Eunuch Wang flinched and immediately kneeled down beside the already kneeling shadow guard and said 

　　"Your Majesty! Please calm down!"

　　"How can we calm down? Do you even know how unpredictable that man is? We want to know where did he go? Who all went with him…everything else."

　　"Your Majesty…the manor is surrounded by shadow guards and the shadow guard guarding the entrance of the Imperial City didn't see Prime Minister Xi leaving the city."

　　Zhao Wang Lei breathed heavily in anger as he looked at the shadow guard who said these words. 

　　He was very tempted to separate his head from his body. However, he controlled his urge. He already had a dearth of people on his side. 

　　At this moment, each and every shadow guard was precious to him …at least until he could find others who would work for him. He needed to find a way to find people to work for him. 

　　But at this moment, he wanted to know where was Xi Ying. 

　　The young prime minister planned his departure very cleverly. He sent the letter of leaving the Imperial City around the night when he had already gone to rest inside his chambers and hence he only got to know about that letter of him when he found him absent from the Imperial Court. 

　　By the time he sent his shadow guards to find out where did he go, he had already left…at least that was what Zhao Wang Lei assumed otherwise why would his shadow guard at the city entrance won't see him. 

　　But it was this move of Xi Ying that made Zhao Wang Lei more suspicious. 

　　And it was his arrogance that made him angry. He left the city without even waiting for him, the Emperor to accept his letter of leave. It was as if he was sure that no one could force him to attend the Imperial Court if he didn't want to. 

　　It was this arrogance that made Zhao Wang Lei hate Xi Ying despite his intelligent mind and even though he was on his side …at least according to him. Because according to him, such a man should not be left alive otherwise he could become a danger to himself.
