Truth Becoming Lies

Li Rong's words fell in everyone's ears and they looked at Xi Ying whose face doesn't have much of an expression after hearing Li Rong's words.

His eyes were solely focused on Li Rui's back who was still kneeling on the floor.

He glanced at An Ju who nodded her head and went forward to help Li Rui in standing up. However, Li Rui didn't take An Ju's hand, instead stood up on her own.

Xi Ying's eyes observed Li Rui's each and every action as she walked back to stand by his side. When she was beside him, he held her hand and sighed in relief when she didn't resist his approach.

Only then did he move his eyes to look at Li Rong who was standing firmly in front of the Emperor demanding justice for her daughter.

He didn't say anything until Zhao Wang Lei glanced at him faintly and said

"Minister Xi, do you have anything to say?"
