His Rui-Chapter 753: The Scared Xi Ling

Inside the room, the old physician was taking Li Rui's pulse.

"What's wrong with Rui?"

The old physician simply ignored Xi Ying who was asking this question for the third time. The young man didn't seem to understand that unless he would not let him take the pulse of his wife calmly, the old physician would not be able to say anything.

So the latter just decided to focus on his own business.

Xi Ying frowned and looked at his wife who blinked her eyes at him as if assuring him silently.

Rui knew that there was nothing wrong with her. The pain was there but only for a moment and she knew that it might be because she took too much stress.

And she was not going to do it again.

She didn't want everyone to worry about her in already tense circumstances.

"Rui is alright."

She sighed in relief when the old physician declared.

Xi Ying, however, didn't seem to trust the old man and asked again

"Are you sure? Her face was so pale a moment ago…she was clearly in pain. It is another thing that she doesn't tell me."

Xi Ying looked at Li Rui with strict eyes when he said his last few words.

Li Rui merely sighed and stayed silent.

"It is normal to feel pain sometimes."

The old physician said to Xi Ying and then waved his hand as he said

"Go outside and tell your son now. He was very worried about his mother."

Xi Ying looked at the old physician coldly. The old physician also bit his tongue realizing that he acted as if he was ordering Xi Ying who was the owner of Xi Manor.

He was afraid when he saw Xi Ying's cold eyes and looked everywhere but at him. It was Li Rui who told Xi Ying now.

"Ying, go and tell Xiao Ling. He must be worried."

Xi Ying's eyes softened when he heard his wife's voice. The old physician nearly gaped at the change but then thought that after staying in Xi Manor for these past few months he should not be surprised.

Xi Ying was reluctant to leave Li Rui. However, when he saw Li Rui's eyes that were filled with worry for their son, he could only leave silently. He didn't want her to worry about anything or anyone in such a situation. Before leaving, he asked the old physician to stay there until he comes back.

It was as if he didn't want his wife to be left alone for even a second.

"Rui, are you worried about something?"

As soon as Xi Ying left, the old physician asked Li Rui.

Li Rui surprised on hearing his question and seeing this the old physician tsked and said

"Though this old man doesn't possess as much knowledge as you possess, I can sense that much from taking the pulse. I didn't tell your husband because I realized that you must have some reason for not telling him."

Li Rui was relieved to hear the old physician's words. However, she didn't tell him what she was worried about.

The old physician could sense that.

When he saw that she was silent for a long time, he couldn't help but ask her again.

"Is it something about what he and your father is planning?"

The old physician didn't know much. He just knew that Xi Ying was planning something against the Emperor with Li Rui's father. More than that, he never wished to know.

He had decided to keep himself away from the Palace's affairs years ago.

After seeing his master's death in front of his eyes, he realized that the Imperial Palace politics was too dirty for people like him.

When Li Rui nodded her head, he sighed and asked again.

"What are you worried about? Tell this old man, maybe I can fill some sense in the head of your husband."

Though the old physician doubted his words, he could try for Rui whom he considers his granddaughter.

"His plan is dangerous."

Li Rui whispered.

Killing an Emperor could never be free of danger. Li Rui knew this but she felt afraid.

She was scared that in an attempt to free her clan of all the fears, she would lose everything in this plan. Her clan, Yi Clan, and …Xi Ying as well.

"I am scared that he would be harmed while implementing it."

Li Rui told the old physician her fears.

However, contrary to sympathizing with her fears, the old physician merely gaped at her with shock-filled eyes.

Noticing his strange look, Li Rui frowned in confusion. Before she could ask him what was wrong, the old physician told her

"You are worried about your dear husband, Rui."

The old physician suddenly chuckled and then looked at Li Rui with a humorous smile.

"This old man thinks that you surely don't know him as much I do then. It is not him you should be worried about instead, it should be the people he is going to attack, you should be worried about because this old man is sure that your husband won't leave them alive or able to harm even an inch of him."

The old physician had felt it when he was standing in the Imperial Court in front of the Emperor that day.

The Imperial Court and the Emperor's throne should have scared him. However, Xi Ying's aura and influence were too influencive that he didn't feel any fear.

Xi Jinping's power overpowered the power and influence of the throne.

Such a person, according to the old physician, couldn't be defeated so simply.

Li Rui, on the other hand, smiled when she heard the old physician's words.

She was, of course, aware of Xi Ying's power and influence. However, she still couldn't help but worry.

The old physician was relieved when he saw her smiling.

"Don't worry. It is not good for the child."

He patted her head in an elderly manner and said gently. Li Rui nodded her head.

It was at this moment Xi Ying entered again.

"You can leave now."

He said to the old physician as he sat closer to his wife making the old man hurriedly shift away as he was afraid that Xi Ying would sit upon him if he didn't move away. f𝘳𝚎𝑒𝚠𝑒𝚋𝘯o𝘃eƖ.co𝓂

Throwing him away after he was used!

The old physician glared at Xi Ying's back but couldn't say anything.

He could only get up and leave the room silently.

"You need to rest a lot."

Xi Ying said to his wife as he stroked her hair. It was obvious that today's incident had left him worried.

Li Rui hummed as she knew that she should not oppose otherwise she would only make him more worried.

Xi Ying sighed and put his hand on his wife's stomach as he said

"Let the brat come out. I will punish him for making you suffer so much."

Li Rui couldn't help but chuckle when she heard that. Xi Ying also smiled when he heard her chuckle.

Amidst this joyous atmosphere, a shocked and childish voice sounded inside the room.

"Father…"

Outside the room, though Xi Ling had told everyone that Li Rui was fine, everyone was still standing.

As soon as the old physician exited the room, everyone surrounded him and started to ask what was wrong with Li Rui.

Xi Ling who was silently pushed out of the crowd felt frustrated as he tried to get inside, however, he couldn't apply that much force.

Frustrated, he did one thing that came to his mind and that was to run inside the room.

It was then Xi Ling heard his father saying something about punishing his younger sibling that he mostly supposedly said was a sister.

His eyes were wide with shock and he couldn't help but say.

"Father…how can you plan about beating Xi Ling's sister even before her birth."

Xi Ying turned around to look at his son and looked at him with a strict expression on his face.

"Who allowed you to come inside?"

Xi Ling, however, was more worried about something else at this moment.

"Father…you can't beat sister. If…if it is necessary to take the punishment, Xi Ling will go through that punishment."

Li Rui's heart melted on hearing her son's words while Xi Ying was also happy on seeing that Xi Ling was already behaving like an elder brother.

However, he didn't show that on his face and said

"That you are going to get without you even saying it. Come here and get the spanking as your punishment."

The small bun who looked brave a moment ago suddenly had a pale face and stepped back while looking at his father with fear-filled eyes.

"Spanking?…can't it be something else?"

As Xi Ling remembered the pain from the last time, he couldn't help but hold his butt and cry inside his heart.

He didn't want to get spanked.

Li Rui tried hard to stifle her laughter on seeing Xi Ling's expression. A moment later, she said to him.

"Xiao Ling, go and ask Sister Li Hua to bring some fruits for mother."

As soon as Xi Ling heard that, his eyes brightened and he ran out of the room as if his tail was on fire.

Li Rui finally laughed heartily.

The strict expression on Xi Ying's face also flew away like wind and he smiled on seeing his wife laughing.

That's how he wanted her.

Laughing, happy and peaceful.
