The Emperor Doubts Xi Ying

"Did Minister Xi undergo any attack a day ago?"

Xi Ying had to try very hard to maintain his expression. His fists placed in his lap were clenched tightly as if they restless to strangle the man in front of him.

He remembered how those shadow guard looked crazy to take his wife's life …so crazy that they didn't even care for their own life.

"Yes, Your Majesty. This Minister had visited Li Manor yesterday with his wife. However, on our way back to Xi Manor, we were attacked by the few shadow guards. They were expert in the martial arts."

Inside his mind, Xi Ying was very curious exactly from where did the cunning Emperor wanted to go from this topic.

Will he say the next moment that it was him who had sent those shadow guards to kill his wife?

But it was also impossible. The Emperor clearly knew that he never supported the bloodshed in this battle of snatching power from each other's hands.
