The Empress' chambers were deathly silent.

Qin Wenya's eyes were blank while Zhao Zhuang Chen's eyes were filled with shock. Only Xi Ying sat there calmly as if nothing happened.

However, whatever he had said just now was a big shock to the other two people.

Qin Wenya still doubted Xi Ying's words and Xi Ying knew that but Zhao Zhuang Chen had already believed them.

His sister…Zhao Zhuang Chen remembered very well that she didn't used to be so annoying, hot-headed and short tempered before.

So all of this was because of that old nanny who was serving his sister and that nanny was planted by none other than but his father by his sister's side.

Zhao Zhuang Chen didn't even know what he should say or think but Xi Yung knew very well.

He sensed the uncertainty in Qin Wenya's eyes. He could see that her firm belief in Zhao Wang Lei's eyes was soon going to shake. He just needed to work a little more harder.

"Fourteen years ago, after the incident between Rui and the princess, His Majesty must have told Your Majesty that he was going to avenge whatever happened to the princess because of this Lord's wife, isn't it? However, it was merely a plan …a plan to make Your Majesty believe that the Imperial Clan had a common enmity with Li Clan because of Rui."

Qin Wenya didn't show any reaction to Xi Ying's words but he knew that she was listening to him. 

"Using that incident, His Majesty used the first prince and the tried to use the second prince also to destroy Li Clan."

"Yes…"

Zhao Zhuang Chen whispered suddenly when Xi Ying finished.

He planned against Li Clan when there was a war ongoing between Xin and the neighboring empire but didn't his father already know about this!

He had told him about his plans and he had even praised him for his intelligence. That's why, he had been very furious when the title of the crown prince was snatched from him. 

Though his father told him that it was necessary to do that for that time, Zhao Zhuang Chen still felt very wronged.

Everything he did was because of his so called father who had filled his mind with the thoughts of destructing Li Clan. Otherwise what wrong Li Clan had done to him. 

If Xi Ying had not put light on this then perhaps he would not have really thought so deeply about this.

Zhao Zhuang Chen swallowed and his fists were tightly clenched. His eyes were red unknown whether it was because of the anger or the plethora of the emotions he was feeling at this moment.

His father…the Emperor of Xin whom he respected so much in his whole life, whose orders he had completed like a slave …was just using him until now.

The revelation truly hurt him a little bit…but only a little bit.

Because Zhao Zhuang Chen, in the end, was Zhao Zhuang Chen.  His desire for the throne was the greater than everything …even greater than his father.

So what if Zhao Wang Lei used him until now, he was still going to get the throne.

Until now, Qin Wenya was sitting silent.

The beautiful and graceful Empress was actually processing whatever Xi Ying had said just now. It was after a few moments, her sight focused on Xi Ying and she said

"But why does he want to destroy Li Clan then?"

Xi Ying internally praised Qin Wenya. She was indeed a very intelligent woman. Unfortunately, all her intelligence she only used for her own selfishness and making sure that her children get the best regardless of whether anyone was wronged while doing that or not.     

Otherwise she was very capable of doing many things that only an Empress could do.

In fact, what he was going to tell Qin Wenya was something that even Li Rui didn't know…that General Li would never want him to reveal but he had to.

Because only by doing this, he would be able to ensure that Qin Wenya will believe him and won't go to Zhao Wang Lei to ask him why he did all this to her children. 

To make sure that she won't go to Zhao Wang Lei to seek the answers, he needed to answer all of her questions.

"This…"

He whispered as he looked at Zhao Zhuang Chen who was also looking forward to the answer that Xi Ying was going to give.

"This Lord can tell this to Her Majesty only."

Zhao Zhuang Chen frowned and Qin Wenya's face went serious. She really wanted to hear what Xi Ying was going to say so without wasting a second, she looked at her son and said

"Leave Bengong's chambers."

Zhao Zhuang Chen's frown went deeper and he wanted to oppose.

"But Empress Mother…"

However, before he could complete his words, Qin Wenya raised her hand and stopped him with her cold voice.

"Leave, Zhuang Chen."

Zhao Zhuang Chen respected his mother a lot and he could no longer oppose her, so he silently stood up from his seat and left the chambers. 

"Now, say it."

Qin Wenya said to Xi Ying coldly.

Xi Ying nodded his head but before telling Qin Wenya anything, he said firmly.

"Your Majesty needs to assure this Lord that after hearing everything, Your Majesty won't take any wrong step because of her anger."

Qin Wenya frowned and said coldly.

"Prime Minister Xi, are not you too demanding too much from this Empress?"

Xi Ying smiled coldly.

"Then this secret is also not something that just anyone could know, Your Majesty."

Qin Wenya sighed in annoyance. She suddenly stood and left her seat.

It was after a few moments later, she came back.

"This Imperial seal…"

She passed a scroll to Xi Ying as she said

"The letter had an Imperial seal but it is empty. Bengong had it since the day she had stepped inside Xin. It was given to Bengong by His Majesty. Prime Minister Xi, Bengong can give you only this to assure you that Bengong won't do any silly thing after finding out everything."

"After all, It was Bengong's children lives which are related to this matter."
