Chapter 530 The Angry Lord Xi
Inside the banquet hall, people looked at Xi Ying as he stood there arrogantly with a cold face. No hesitation or guilt could be soon on the young prime minister's face as he told everyone that it was he who had thrown Li Na inside that room with a Eunuch.
It was he who had planned that incident that stained Li Na's reputation in almost the whole Empire.
And why would he look guilty?
Because in Xi Ying's eyes, Li Na deserved all this.
She deserved to be thrown inside that room and have a bad reputation because of what she had planned.
Li Na who was being held down by the Eunuch was hearing this for the second time but she still felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold ice water on her head.
Yes, it was Xi Ying who had done that.
On the other hand, sitting in his seat, Lu Jianye was still trying to digest everything.
So it was really Li Na who had wanted to sleep with Xi Ying that day.
His heart had already sunk down inside his chest and he couldn't feel any strength inside his body.
Amidst the silent banquet hall, the Emperor's cold and angry voice sounded suddenly.
"Free the Second Young Miss Li."
The Imperial Guard followed the order and freed Li Na.
Li Na was still kneeling on the floor as the cloth from her mouth was removed that was stuffed there to stop her from speaking anything.
Her face was red unknown whether it was because of shame or anger as she lowered her head and heard the Emperor asking
"Second Young Miss Li, what do you wish to say now? Prime Minister Xi had already presented all the evidence against you and this proves that you and your sister had planned a very evil scheme against your sister, Li Rui not once but twice."
Li Na's whole body was shivering.
The only thing she could hear at this moment was people who were talking badly about her.
She raised her head suddenly and her eyes looked around at the seats to find Lu Jianye who was also looking at her with red eyes.
They were moist and filled with so many questions.
However, that did not make Li Na feel guilty.
What made her feel angered was Yu Wei who was sitting behind Lu Jianye. The woman smirked at her provokingly as if she was daring her to do the same thing that she had done a few days ago.
Hugging Lu Jianye in front of her.
Hmph…now Lu Jianye would not even let her linger near him.
She could read those words from Yu Wei's bright eyes.
She had lost yet again!
And it was all because of Li Rui.
First, her father lost the position of General because of Li Rui's father, and then she lost the glory and respect she should have been given because of Li Rui.
Li Rui even had a man whom she(Li Na) liked for herself.
Li Na clenched her fists tightly and her heart was suddenly filled with intense hatred and anger.
She wished that Li Rui was in front of her right now. She would have killed her right then and there.
And then laughed at the sight of her dead and cold body.
Li Na smiled like a crazy woman as she imagined this scene in her mind.
When she didn't say anything for a long time and didn't even answer the Emperor's question, it was Eunuch Wang who stepped down from the throne and called her out.
However, Li Na's head was still lowered.
Frowning, Eunuch Wang stepped forward and shook her shoulders in a rough manner. Eunuch Wang was no less angry at Li Na. As much as he blamed Xi Ying for his nephew's departure from the Imperial Palace, he blamed Li Na also for that.
Neither did she have made such a vicious plan, nor would have his nephew left the Imperial Palace.
However, Eunuch Wang had never expected that as he would shake Li Na's shoulder, she would suddenly stand up and push him away.
The old Eunuch fell down on the floor while the Imperial guards tried to control Li Na immediately.
"Yes, it was me. I planned all that."
Li Na shouted loudly, startling everyone in the banquet hall.
She looked as if she had gone crazy as she laughed maniacally and said
"I hate her very much. I hate her so much that I want to kill her."
Yi Jie gasped while Xi Ying's eyes looking at Li Na went sharper.
His hand went to his waist and with one swift move, Xi Ying took out his sword.
Clank!
The sound was audible to everyone and their attention immediately went to Xi Ying. Their eyes went wide when they saw Xi Ying walking toward Li Na with his sword in his hand.
"No…"
It was Li Rong who shouted and left Li Caihong hurriedly.
She tried to block Xi Ying, however, Xi Ying was so angry at this moment that he pushed her away without thinking anything.
Li Rong was pushed away but not hard enough that she could maintain her balance again. Li Qiang still stood up from his seat.
His eyes however stayed on his wife and he never looked at Li Na as if whatever will happen to Li Na didn't concern him at all.
"Prime Minister Xi…"
The Imperial Guards who held Li Na tried to stop him.
However, Xi Ying didn't hear them and leaned down to grab Li Na's jaw. His fingers pinched her jaw tightly, keeping her in a place as her whole body was shivering on seeing Xi Ying's cold eyes.
"Say one more against Rui and this Lord shall cut your tongue with this sword."
Li Na's eyes went wide with fear and panic as she looked at Xi Ying's sword. The trembling of her body intensified and she nodded her head vigorously as if she was accepting that she wouldn't say anything against Li Rui anymore.
