Just yesterday, the old physician finally got to know that Xi Ying was the prime Minister in the Imperial Court. He had been shocked.

He had actually heard many rumors about this heartless Prime Minister. However, he never heard or remembered the real name of this prime minister who was very famous as a heartless minister.

He had been living on the borders of the Imperial City until now because he couldn't get out of the Imperial City on his own.

He was afraid that those guards guarding the gates of the border would recognize or something else would happen that would put him into trouble. That's why he thought that it was better to live silently, safe and sound, it didn't matter where he was living.

However, when had he expected that one day a shadow guard would suddenly pick him up when he was on his way to his home and bring him to a huge Manor that belonged to none other than the Prime Minister of the Xin.   

He had been shocked when Xi Ying had asked him about Noble Consort Shu.

Did this matter come out in the light again?

That was what the old physician had feared. He had never imagined that this matter would be discussed ever again …especially in front of him. The Emperor must have handled everything well. After all, he was supreme and he who has been left alive by mistake ...he would never spat out a single word about that incident.

However, this cold and indifferent Prime Minister shocked him again.

He didn't know what he fed him but he could speak nothing but the truth.

"Do you want to drink that soup again?"

He heard Xi Ying's cold voice again and came out of his trance. The old physician was not a fool not to understand exactly which soup Xi Ying was talking about.

"No!"

He shouted almost instantly. He didn't want to drink that thing again. It was horrible. Having no control over what you want to say …it was a horrible experience for him.     

Xi Ying was very satisfied with this.

Li Rui had actually told him that the medicine she has made for now was very little. The old physician was the first person on whom they have tested it.

The results came out very best and now Xi Ying didn't want to waste such good medicine. He had some other plans.

There were many other important people …like Zhao Wang Lei from whom he needed to find out many things.

One of these was why he was trying to kill his wife who had never done anything wrong against him. Xi Ying knew very well how stubborn Zhao Wang Lei could be.

It could be seen from how he still had not given up on Second Madam Li who was General Li's wife too.

So Zhao Wang Lei would perhaps never tell him the truth if he asked him nicely.

"Very well"

He said to the old physician and then continued

"So you should not tell me if you know anything about the Empress Dowager."

The old physician sighed and stood up from the ground.

When Xi Ying already know so much then what was wrong in telling him everything. The old physician thought inside his heart.

He looked at Xi Ying with a serious face and then said

"I don't know much about Empress Dowager. She had just gone to live in the isolation at the time I entered the Imperial Palace."

Seeing that Xi Ying didn't seem to believe him, the old physician continued

"As a Prime Minister, you must have visited the Imperial Palace almost daily and because of this, you must be known that it is not easy to come out of the Imperial Palace hiding from all those Imperial Guard's eyes."

"That night, when I have seen my master being killed by the Imperial guards, I left Yao Yue hall in frenzy. I wanted to live but I didn't have any way to get out of the Imperial Palace without being noticed. It was, at that time, a shadow guard had helped me. He had left me at the border of the Imperial City safely. When he was about to leave, I had asked him why he helped me but he told me that he was also told by someone else."

"When I told him that I wanted to know the name of my benefactor, he said that it was Empress Dowager, Xin Jia."   

Silence lingered in the garden of Plum Courtyard.

Xi Ying's eyebrows were knitted to form a deep frown while Li Rui was looking at Xi Ying trying to understand why he was suddenly so curious about Empress Dowager.

She got up from the chair she was sitting on and asked Xi Ying

"Did something happen?"

Xi Ying came out of his thoughts. He had first wanted to shake his head but then he remembered that he had promised Li Rui that he won't lie to her so he told her the truth.

"The Empress Dowager came out of isolation. Today when I was with the second prince, I met her in the Imperial Palace. She seems to know about our plans."

The old physician who didn't understand what exactly Xi Ying was talking about looked confused but Li Rui who understood everything had a serious expression on her face.

She looked at the old physician and said politely

"Elder should rest for some time now."

The old physician liked Li Rui very much. She was the only person who behaved with him so politely. Otherwise, those shadow guards and even the young child always annoyed him and dragged him here and there.

However, at this moment he didn't want to leave yet. He wanted to know what Xi Ying was talking about. So he said

"Girl, I think I should stay. Maybe I can help you in some way."

Xi Yiing's lips twitched when he heard the old physician's words. Anyone could tell that he was just very curious and itching to know what was going on.

There was no way he could help them so he said coldly.

"Leave old man."

The old physician knew that he couldn't refuse Xi Ying so he pouted like a child and then left from there. However, after exiting the garden, he hid behind the wall so that he would be able to hear whatever Xi Ying was going to talk about.

A moment later, Xi Ying finally started to talk and the old physician gloated on the fact that how clever he was.
