His Rui

Even if it is life imprisonment or execution…..

The words left a deep trace in everyone's heart.

People's eyes were wide at Li Rui's declaration. The banquet hall was silent and no one dared to utter a single word. They were just waiting for His Majesty's decision.

On the other hand, Li Rui who felt a scorching gaze on herself glanced sideways and was surprised to find her husband's cold gaze on herself.

Cold and angered…as if she has betrayed him. But what did she do?

Confused, she stared at his face.

.

Her confusion was visible on her face but she didn't know that the man in front of her was only angered more by it.

Glaring at her innocent and calm black eyes, Xi Ying lowered down his head and whispered in her ear with his gritted teeth.

"Li Rui, who in the hell allowed you to make such an oath?"

A clear deep voice full of anger fell in Li Rui's ears. This was the first time he had called her by full name but she couldn't pay attention to it.

For the first time in the past fourteen years, she felt afraid of someone's anger.

Since Li Zhan's death, she had not given her father much reason to get angered, and even if she did…General Li didn't dare to scold her for anything seeing how much she had changed after Li Zhan's death.

So it was the first time she was seeing someone getting angered at her like this.

Xi Ying had shown her his anger on their wedding night also…but she had not felt afraid at that time at all.

Today she was.

Because this anger of him was for her.

But why?

Why was he angry if she swore on her life?

She could understand his anger when Madam Wen had provoked her and she had not allowed him to speak. Madam Wen had spoken against her and she was his wife. In a way, she represented Xi Clan soo he had every right to get angry. But now…

Why was he angry?

She couldn't ponder over this question much because she suddenly felt her hands being grabbed.

"You really have a cure?"

Yun Weialn's eyes were filled with hope as she looked at the woman in front of her.

Affected by her emotions, Li Rui obviously knew just how Yun Weilan must be feeling right now she immediately nodded her head and said

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Then, I allow you to treat Xiao Jin."

Yun Weilan didn't know Li Rui much. The only thing she knew was that Li Rui was General Li's daughter and Prime Minister Xi's wife.

However, her trust in Li Rui came naturally.

Why?

Because Li Rui was ready to be life imprisoned and executed if she could treat her five-year-old son. This was something she herself said.

In Yun Weilan's eyes, Li Rui was more trustable than the Imperial Physician Xu. He had declared the uncertainty of his cure already in the beginning. She was sure that if the Emperor had said declare that if Zhao Bo Jin died then the Imperial Physician Xu would also be executed…then he would never have tried to use his already uncertain cure on her son.

But Li Rui had certainty for her cure. That's why she is ready to face death if she couldn't treat her son.

"Are you in your right mind?"

A furious voice came from her behind and Yun Weilan's arms were gripped in a very painful and tight hold. However, she didn't even wince as she was dragged back and heard her husband shouting at her.

"She just said that she had a cure and you are allowing her to treat Bo Jin. Just shut your mouth and go to your chambers if you can't think straight. Benwang will handle everything here. I, as Bo Jin's father, have the right to decide who will treat him not you…a dumb woman."

Li Rui's eyes were cold as she looked at the first Prince but she soon moved them away to the Emperor who was silently looking at her.

Zhao Wang Lei's eyes flickered suddenly which didn't go unnoticed by Xi Ying. Xi Ying observed each and every expression very carefully and a frown marred his face as soon as he heard the Emperor's next words.

"Zhen allows Li Rui to treat the first Prince's son, Zhao Bo Jin."

"Your Majesty…"

"Father Emperor…"

Qin Wenya and Zhao Zhuang Chen looked at Zhao Wang Lei with incredulous gazes. They have never expected him to agree like this.

In fact, no one had expected

But Zhao Wang Lei ignored them and looked at Yun Weilan.

"As a mother, if Princess Consort Yun wants Li Rui to treat her son then there is no bad thing in it. Also, since Li Rui is ready to take responsibility for her actions, then we will put our trust in Lady Li for Princess Consort's sake."

Xi Ying's eyes went cold as he looked at the Emperor.

The cunning Emperor was letting Princess Consort Yun and Li Rui take every responsibility for Zhao Bo Jin's health.

It was clear that if Zhao Bo Jin couldn't be saved by Li Rui's care then it would be Princess Yun and Li Rui who would be blamed by everyone.

His fists were clenching and unclenching as he looked at Zhao Wang Lei and suddenly thought of a possibility. But then a confused frown marred his forehead.

On the other hand, Li Rui just needed the Emperor's permission.

Raising her dress, she stepped forward and stood near the Young Prince's couch.

Imperial Physician Xu who already had been standing there looked at her skeptically.

He did not have any confidence in his heart that Li Rui would really save Zhao Bo Jin.

Just a few moments ago, when he had brought medicinal paste to feed Zhao Bo Jin, he was shocked to see his blue face.

He had studied about many poisons but he didn't know any poison that could make a person's face like this.

A purplish-blue. That's why he was hesitating to feed the medicinal paste to the prince.

As he looked at the Young woman taking the young Prince's pulse, Imperial Physician Xu sighed and thought that she at least knew how to take the pulse.

He thought that either she was really talented …or she was too stupid and overconfident.

But his heart was heavy in the latter case. It was apparent that he had already believed that she was stupid and overconfident.

Perhaps she really has studied medicines but she started to think that she could also treat the young Prince.

A large part of him was happy that she stopped him from doing what he didn't want to do in the first place.

Still, he couldn't help but pity her.

However, the next moment what he saw shocked Imperial Physician Xu.
