His Rui-Chapter 815: Li Rui Is Awake

Li Rui didn't open her eyes immediately.

However, Xi Ying could feel that her body was warming up slowly. A tear slipped out of his eyes, as he picked her up from the bed and left the Imperial study room.

The world that had stopped started working again.

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, when Zhao Zhang Wei and other ministers started moving again, they didn't remember anything about the last few moments.

The ministers looked at each other in confusion as to why they were standing in the corner. However, they had no option but to go and sit on the chair to continue the discussion with the Emperor.

Xi Ying flew to Xi Manor with Li Rui in his arms.

When he landed in front of Plum Courtyard, An Shing also landed there with him. The shadow guard had been guarding the Manor and had felt someone invading inside. When he realized that it was his master, he relaxed.

He was shocked when he saw his master's state. Then his eyes went to Li Rui.

His eyes were filled with concern when he saw Li Rui in his master's arms.

"Master…"

An Shing was about to say something but Xi Ying didn't pay him any attention as he moved inside Plum Courtyard.

His eyes were solely on his wife as he easily moved through the outer hall and then the inner hall.

Fortunately, Xi Ling was not in the courtyard otherwise the child had been shocked to see his father in such a state and his mother unconscious.

The servants that were in the living room were shocked to see Xi Ying but no one could say a single word as Xi Ying moved towards the room.

Inside the room, he laid down Li Rui on the bed.

He picked the glass of water from the bedside and gently dabbed her dry lips with the water.

After that, he untied the cloth that was covering her eyes. The strange liquid had stopped coming out.

"Rui…"

There was a smile on his lips when he uttered her name. At the same time, tears were flowing out of his eyes.

"I finally changed our destiny. Rui…we will grow old together. Now, no one can take you away from me."

Tears slid down his eyes as he leaned down and gently kissed her forehead.

His heart was filled with only more love for her since he got his past memories. He had loved Rui …always.

Not only in this world but in another world as well where they actually belonged to.

He never despised her.

It was the spell that made him confused. No wonder whenever he had tried to step towards Plum Courtyard, he would suddenly turn around.

Those whispers would put a spell on him making him despise Li Rui to the extent that he didn't see her for four years.

All of it was planned.

When after four years the spell broke, she will leave him forever.

Burning in the fire of revenge, he would then kill Zhao Wang Lei thinking that the latter was responsible for his wife and child's death.

And hence that was how he would destroy evil giving the throne to Zhao Zhang Wei.

In his past life, not only he destroyed Zhao Wang Lei but he destroyed everything.

He destroyed the whole Empire and then himself.

The so-called God of destiny had no choice but to start everything all over again. He made a deal with him where he, Xi Ying, kept his side of the deal but as soon as he did what God of Destiny wanted, the latter decided to take his Rui away from him...and hence not completing his part of the deal.

Xi Ying had asked him for Xi Ling's and Li Rui's life.

But the God of destiny betrayed him not expecting that…Xi Ying would suddenly remember everything.

Xi Ying came out of his trance when he heard a sound.

His attention was immediately back on his wife when he saw that her eyelashes were moving.

Holding his heart together, he waited for her to open her eyes. He felt somewhat nervous.

He felt as if he was meeting her after so long.

"Rui…"

He whispered her name gently as he caressed her cheek with his thumb.

When she finally opened her eyes, he felt nothing in the world could amount to the love he had for her.

Rui's eyes were filled with confusion as she looked at Xi Ying's face. He looked so different from usual.

"Ying…"

Her voice came out slightly hoarse as she tried to lift her hand. Xi Ying held it immediately knowing that her body didn't have much strength.

When she touched his cheek, he unconsciously closed his eyes relishing her touch.

"Don't cry…"

He heard her whisper and realized that his face was full of tears.

Xi Ying immediately wiped his tears with his sleeve.

When he looked back at his wife, he saw her confusion-filled eyes. However, before he could say anything, the door of the room suddenly opened and Gu Li stepped inside the room.

Gu Li was shocked when he heard from the maid that Xi Ying was back with Li Rui and hence he came running.

"Prime Minister Xi…"

His heart sank when he saw Xi Ying's state. The usually dignified and noble prime minister looked like a mess.

However, when he looked towards the bed, his eyes flashed with surprise seeing Li Rui awake. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺

"Rui…"

He whispered as he further stepped inside the room, walking towards the bed.

"Rui, are you alright? How are you feeling?"

Li Rui looked at Gu Li in confusion. Did something happen to her?

Hearing her words, Xi Ying immediately shouted for Li Hua.

"Let me help you in the bath then eat something. After that, you can go back to sleep, alright Rui?"

Xi Ying said to Li Rui very gently.

Li Hua also came to know that her mistress was back. She had accompanied her mistress but she had been sent back by Li Rui the next day.

Li Hua would have resisted but when her mistress told her that she wanted her to take care of Xi Jia in her absence she couldn't refuse.

She had understood that her mistress would stay there for long. However, when she had come to know that her mistress was infected, Li Hua blamed herself. She regretted her choice. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮

She was on her way when she heard Xi Ying's shout.

However, when she stepped inside the room, she was ordered by Xi Ying to prepare a bath.

Unbothered with the order, her eyes searched for her mistress. When she saw her mistress awake, her eyes were filled with tears and she walked to the bed without caring for anything.

"My Lady…how is My Lady? Is My Lady in pain?"

By now, Li Rui was also starting to realize something. She could feel the weakness inside her body. When she saw crying Li Hua, she tried her best to assure the latter she was now well.

After being comforted, Li Hua immediately went to prepare a hot water bath.

Li Rui wanted to tell Xi Ying that she didn't need his help but Xi Ying didn't listen to her at all. He didn't have the heart to leave her alone even for a moment.

Defeated, she could only accept his help.

Xi Ying wiped Li Rui's body gently. Li Rui was shocked when she realized that she had become very thin.

Xi Ying's heart ached for her but he comforted himself that as long as she was fine, he could always fatten her up.

"Did I got infected?"

She asked Xi Ying in a low voice. Xi Ying only hummed as he continued to wipe her body.

They didn't talk after that.

After the bath, Xi Ying fed Li Rui some healthy dishes.

Li Rui was very tired and went to sleep after the meal. Though Xi Ying was very reluctant to leave her alone, he decided to go and see his children once.

He already felt guilty for ignoring Xi Jia after her birth. He knew that his wife also disliked this so he asked Li Hua to stay in the room and went to Xi Jia's room.

When he stepped inside the room, he saw his son reading a book while sitting on the bed. His one hand was on his sister's stomach as he patted her gently.

Xi Jia was deeply asleep.

The scene made Xi Ying smile. He stepped inside the room with slow steps without making any noise but when he was near the bed, Xi Ling raised his head and was surprised to see his father.

However, he didn't shout like a child regardless of how shocked, surprised and happy he was.

Instead, he first looked at his sister and then slowly climbed down from the bed. Before he could do so, Xi Ying picked him up in his arms.

He was very happy with how caring Xi Ling was for Xi Jia.

Xi Ling hugged his father tightly. In the end, he was a child and missed his father. Xi Ying caressed his son's head.

"Mother…"

Xi Ling whispered and Xi Ying told his son gently

"She is resting. Your Mother is tired. Let's not disturb her for a while."

Xi Ling wanted to see his mother immediately but he also understood his father. So he nodded his head and whispered

"Later Xi Ling and Jia will go together to see Mother."

Xi Ying smiled and put down his son. He then kissed Xi Jia's head carefully. After staying there for some time, he soon left the room to go back to his wife.

On his way to the room, he met Gu Li and asked him to send a message to the Imperial Palace that Li Rui was fine.

He knew that Zhao Zhang Wei had been trying to find some cure. He appreciated Zhao Zhang Wei's concern.

However, he had to use Zhao Zhang Wei to save Li Rui because he knew that only by attacking Zhao Zhang Wei first, he could force God of Destiny to appear.

Going back to the room, Xi Ying dismissed Li Hua and climbed on the bed. He embraced Li Rui in his arms and closed his eyes to have some rest after so many days.

He had the most peaceful sleep after so many years.
