His Rui

Chapter 549 Saving Yi Huiqing

Li Rui turned to look at the man who was asking her this question. Her eyes were calm and indifferent as she looked at the hand that Zhao Zhang Wei was holding. 

At this moment, Zhao Zhang Wei looked like a child who was anxiously waiting for her mother to wake up. 

A child whose only support system in this world was his mother. Zhao Zhang Wei looked like that child. 

The difference was just that here it was not Zhao Zhang Wei’s mother but his wangfei and her elder sister, Yi Huiqing. 

However, he still looked so dependent on her. 

Zhao Zhang Wei’s heart went cold as well as his eyes. He looked at Li Rui coldly and said 

”If you can’t then just say it. I will immediately look for some other expert.”

Zhao Zhang Wei knew very well that every passing moment was crucial for his wife. He couldn’t afford to waste even a single moment. 

But he also knew one more thing. He won’t let anything happen to Yi Huiqing. Even if he would need to exchange his life for her, he would do that. 

On the other hand, Xi Ying frowned when he heard Zhao Zhang Wei talking to his wife in such a tone. He sneered coldly. 

He was really trying to understand Zhao Zhang Wei’s condition. 

Both of them had done unforgivable mistakes but Zhao Zhang Wei was worse than him. He had seen his children dying in Yi Huuqing’s womb silently. 

And he still had the gall to talk to his wife in this manner as if he was the only person who was worried about him. 

So he said mercilessly showing the reality to the second prince.

”Your Highness might not remember but this Lord will help Your Highness. The Imperial Palace has experts in the medicinal field. Even if Your Highness wishes to seek anyone from outside, it would take a lot of time and as the Imperial Physician, Princess Consort doesn’t have that much time. So it would be better if Your Highness would talk carefully to this Lord’s wife and not forget the respect that he should be giving to others in his sorrow.”

Zhao Zhang Wei didn’t say anything in response to Xi Ying’s words. 

However, his phoenix eyes were dim because he understood that whatever Xi Ying was saying was really right. 

His heart was being pierced with a sharp knife whenever he looked at Yi Huiqing’s unconscious face.

”I apologize.”

He said to Li Rui sincerely without moving his eyes away. 

”But please save her. I will give you whatever you will wish.”

Li Rui never said anything to  Zhao Zhang Wei’s question. While the two men were having their fierce conversation, she was silently trying to detect what kind of poison Yi Huiqing’s body has. 

She knew that she first needed to stop bleeding and then take out the poison. A few moments later, she turned to look at Xi Ying and said calmly. 

”I need a few things.”

Xi Ying nodded his head but before he could say anything, Zhao Zhang Wei spoke 

”What do you need? I will immediately ask servants to bring it. 

Xi Ying shook his head and sighed. 

He stepped forward and suddenly placed a hand on Zhao Zhang Wei’s shoulder. 

”Zhao Zhang Wei.”

It was perhaps the first time, Xi Ying was calling Zhao Zhang by his name but there was no anger in his voice.

”This Lord will manage everything. Believe me, there is nothing you can do at this moment, The only thing you can do is try to hide that Rui is here to save Yi Huiqing. The things she needs are in Xi Manor and can’t be found here so you don’t need to worry about anything.”

Zhao Zhang Wei was a little reluctant but after a moment, he understood that whatever Xi Ying was saying was right. 

Still, he looked at the young prime minister and said firmly

”Tell me if you need any kind of help but nothing should happen to Qingqing.”

Xi Ying nodded his head. 

A few moments later, Li Rui came to him with a paper that had a few written things and said 

”Give this to An Ju and ask her to go to Xi Manor with this paper. Ask her to go to him. He will give her all the medicines and herbs that this paper has written in it.”

Xi Ying nodded his head understanding what Li Ru was saying. 

Li Rui never took the old physician’s name but Xi Ying knew that he was the only person who could help them in such a thing. 

So he left the chambers to do the said job. 

Now Li Rui was left alone inside the chambers with Zhao Zhang Wei. 

Zhao Zhang Wei shouted for Lin Daiyu and asked her to bring all the necessary things from the Imperial Physician that a person would need to heal a wound after Li Rui told him to do so. 

Lin Daiyu saw Li Rui when she entered but she didn’t say anything. 

She was relieved to see Li Rui. There was now a hope inside her heart that her mistress will be saved.   

She hurriedly went to gather whatever Li Rui would need. 

An Ju also came back soon. 

There was no time and Li Rui also started soon. When she was about to cut Yi Huiqing’s clothes, she looked at Zhao Zhang Wei who was still holding Yi Huiqing’s hand and looking at her face without any expression, and said solemnly. 

”Your Highness needs to leave the room.”

”No!”

Zhao Zhang Wei said immediately. 

He would not leave Yi Huiqing alone. Li Rui could see his determination so she signed Lin Daiyu to go out and call for Xi Ying. 

Indeed, it was only Xi Ying who could take Zhao Zhang Wei out of Yi Huqing’s chambers. It took Xi Ying a few moments and some hot, provoking, and cold words but in the end, Zhao Zhang Wei really left the chambers with a grim face.

Before leaving, he looked at Li Rui and asked 

”Will she be alright?”

Li Rui’s eyes dimmed slightly for a moment and she said honestly

”I don’t know. A physician can never be sure in such circumstances.” 

Zhao Zhang Wei’s heart sank at these words. He was also angry and almost wished to have an assurance from Li Rui that she would save Yi Huiqing regardless of what situation Yi Huiqing was in. 

But he also knew that Li Rui was not at any fault. 

It was he. He was weak. If only he had been scared and not scared of showing his abilities to anyone, Yi Huiqing would have not been in this state today. 

If it was his mistake then what right did he have to get angry at someone else? 

”I won’t be able to live without her.”

He whispered breathlessly. 

Outside his wangfeis chambers, he looked at Xi Ying and said 

”That man…where is he?”

Xi Ying”s eyes also went cold when he understood whom Zhao Zhang Wei was talking to.

”I also need to talk to him.”

He said coldly and both the men set out to have a ‘nice talk’ with the man who had attacked Zhao Zhang Wei and because of whom Yi Huiqing was in this state right now.
