Chapter 561 Her Jiejie Was Tired
Zhao Zhang Wei who heard Li Rui\'s words and stopped amidst his steps.
When he turned around with Yi Huiqing in his arms, his cold face suddenly had an incredulous expression as he looked at calm Li Rui.
"You are asking why should you save Qingqing?"
"Yes."
Li Rui said calmly and Zhao Zhang Wei\'s phoenix eyes were soon converted into icicles. Even Lin Daiyu who was frowning at Li Ruis\' words flinched when she saw his eyes and lowered her head in fear.
With the same eyes, Zhao Zhang Wei stepped forward and said coldly.
"Perhaps because she is your sister…the sister who had always cared for you. Even when she was in living in the Imperial Palace in not so favorable situation, she would still think about you and worry."
Zhao Zhang Wei smiled coldly when he saw that Li Rui still looked very calm and collected. He suddenly wondered just how did Xi Ying love such a woman. She was indeed a scheming, selfish, and manipulative woman as the rumor proved her to be. Though she might have been schemed against in the past, Zhao Zhang Wei couldn\'t really feel any sympathy for Li Rui at this moment.
The next moment, with no expression on his face, he asked her coldly
"What do you want in exchange for saving her?"
He would give whatever she asked for as long as she would save Yi Huiqing.
In some part of his heart, Zhao Zhang Wei knew very well that even if he departed for Yantun valley at this moment, then he might not reach at time…especially when he didn\'t know where it was.
He didn\'t know whether it really existed so Li Rui was the only option for him.
In fact, if she wanted anything then she should have told him from the beginning itself.
Then, by now, his qingiqng would have woken up perhaps.
However, the women were too merciless. She saw her sister\'s pale face and felt her cold body even after being capable of saving her, she didn\'t do anything to save her.
"Your Highness, Rui doesn\'t wish for anything."
Zhao Zhang Wei frowned when he heard Yi Huiqing\'s words.
Inside his heart, he was thinking if he should do something to force this woman if she still didn\'t agree to save Yi Huiqing.
However, when Li Rui continued, Zhao Zhang Wei\'s all thoughts stopped.
"Rui wonders why she should save Jiejie."
Li Rui stepped forward. Her lips had a sad smile as she looked at unconscious Yi Huiqing in Zhao Zhang Wei\'s arms.
"Last time, when Rui had visited Jiejie, Jiejie had said to Rui that it would have been better if she would have also died with her child. She said …she was very tired."
The words unconsciously brought Zhao Zhang Wei to that night when he had initiated intimacy with Yi Huiqing on his own for the first time but was rejected.
That night, she had said the same words to him.
The exhaustion and forlorn look in her eyes was still very fresh in his mind as she had said
\'Wangfei is very tired, wangye.\'
Unfortunately, he had been unable to understand the true meaning those words held.
Raising her head to look at Zhao Zhang Wei\'s emotionless face, Li Rui had the same kind of look on her face as she continued
"Rui wondered whether Jiejie will be happy if Rui saved her or she will be sad because she would have to continue her life in this horrible place …somewhere she was between so many people but stil …so alone."
"My Jiejie…she used to have the brightest smile in this Imperial City but this horrible place …it had changed her to the point that she doesn\'t smile any longer."
Li Rui blinked back the tears that surfaced through her eyes as she said the last words.
Xi Ying who saw this lowered his head in guilt and regret.
It was true.
Yi Huiqing and she had spent a large part of their childhood together. Yi Huiqing was her sister, her friend, and her companion when no one wanted to accompany her because of those rumors from the Imperial Palace.
She and Yi Huiqing, both of them married on the same day.
She remembered the day before her marriage.
Yi Huiqing had come to meet her that day though she was not allowed to do so.
\'I wish I could replace you, Rui. I wish I could take away all your bad luck.\'
That was what her jiejie had said to her that evening.
Though Li Rui had smiled only and held her sister\'s hand, she had wanted to say the same words.
\'I wish I could replace you, Jiejie.\'
Seeing Yi Huiqing after four years in such a miserable condition had torn her heart though she never showed it to anyone.
However, she had still tried her best to tell her Jiejie that what she was running after never wanted to be hers so she should stop running before she would get so tired that she would find herself tired enough to leave this world silently.
And fortunately, her Jiejie had listened.
But after coming to know from Lin Daiyu that Yi Huiqing got this poison inside her body because of saving Zhao Zhang Wei, Li Rui didn\'t know what she should conclude.
The second prince, inside her heart, was a cold and indifferent man who cared for nothing but the throne.
That\'s why for four years, he never noticed her sister\'s care and affection.
And now today, he looked ready to save her …perhaps because he didn\'t want to bear the burden of someone losing their life because of him.
But Li Rui was afraid.
She was scared that Yi Huiqing would do it again. Zhao Zhang Wei had a long battle in front of him and he would face many dangers. She didn\'t want Yi Huiqing to protect a person who was so cold to her.
So it was better for both of them to separate from each other right now!
