Chapter 524 Was Rui A Danger To Her Children?
In Plum Courtyard, Xi Ling was following his mother here and there.
Li Rui had stopped talking to him although all of them were saved.
The four shadow guards were tied to the chairs inside a room and the room was constantly being guarded by An Ju herself.
She never looked for An San again though she could feel his presence every moment.
An Ju knew that he was around and she secretly wished to kill him. If that powder would not have been with them today, then An Ju was sure that they would have lost very badly today.
After all, she could feel their strength from their aura and they were four while she was alone who knew martial arts and wanted to protect Li Rui.
If something had really happened to Xi Ling then An Ju would never have been able to forgive herself.
Though she was still angry with herself.
She should never have trusted An San.
Even after she knew whatever he did to make Li Rui suffer in Xi Manor and create a misunderstanding between her master and Li Rui, she should not have trusted An San.
He could obviously do anything to harm Li Rui and that should have been enough for her to realise that she should leave Xi Ling to some safe place on her own.
Though everything was alright she was still going to tell her master everything and get the punishment she deserved,
"Mother…"
Xi Ling followed his mother from the living room to her bedroom.
However, Li Rui suddenly turned around when she was standing at the door of her room.
Xi Ling was standing outside as she turned around to look at her son. Her eyes were calm and emotionless. It could be seen that Xi Ling had really angered his mother this time and this information scared the small bun.
His heart was filled with panic and his lips wobbled a little. But he managed to calm himself because he didn\'t want to cry in front of his mother.
He couldn\'t win his mother\'s pity by crying and then forcing her to speak with him if she was angry.
Xi Ling was a very sensible kid.
Controlling his urge to cry out loud, he gulped and said softly
"Mother, Xi Ling apologizes. Xi Ling never wanted to make Mother angry. Will Mother forgive Xi Ling?"
Li Rui, however, still looked at her son calmly.
Her heart would always jump up and down in fear whenever she would remember how Xu Li was picking Xi Ling in his arms like a sack.
He …he could have killed Xi Ling.
Li Rui knew that this time those shadow guards\' target was not her alone but her son also.
Otherwise, why had Xu Li signed Gu Li to follow An Ju when the latter had flown away with Xi Ling to send him to some safe place.
She was very tempted to lift her son\'s arms and then check whether he had bruises because of Xu Li\'s tight hold but that memory of just a few moments ago would always stop her from doing what she wanted.
From even touching her son.
Her hand then went to her stomach.
Her unborn child…even it was in danger because of her.
She remembered how excited Xi Ying had been looking since the news of her pregnancy.
Even she had been very happy. She had thought whatever she had missed during her son\'s birth ..she would be able to witness it again through this child of hers.
However, now her thoughts were changing suddenly.
Because now she doubted whether she would really be able to give birth to this child or not.
Today she protected herself but what about in the future.
A few months later, she might not be able to do that also. What will happen to her and her children then!
For the first time, Li Rui felt so scared after an attack.
Her children\'s life was in danger because of her.
She thought that the time when Xi Ling was away from her was much better than this. At least he was safe.
She could protect him hiding in shadows because no one had dared to attack him like this before.
But now since he was here with her, they dared to attack him like this.
With such thoughts occupying her mind, Li Rui looked at her son for a long time before she finally raised her hand.
Xi Ling smiled brightly as the small bun thought that his mother was spreading her arms to hug her.
However, his smile vanished when he noticed that his mother was actually closing the door.
"Mother…"
Xi Ling called out and tried to step forward but Li Rui was faster.
Before he could even put his small leg in between the door, she closed the door immediately.
While, from Xi Ling\'s shocked eyes, a big fat tear slid down slowly.
Did his mother dislike him so much now?

In the Imperial Palace, Xi Ying waited for An Shing inside the Imperial Garden.
An Shing had already come once and Xi Ying had sent him to collect all the evidence that he would present in the Imperial Court today.
Fortunately, the wise shadow guard had brought the evidence that Xi Ying had collected from the brothel of the Imperial City a few days ago. Now only a few things were left but today Xi Ying was going to reveal Li Na and LI Caihong\'s true face in front of everyone.
Xi Ying looked towards the sky and knew that the half of the shichen that Zhao Wang Lei had granted to him was about to end soon.
He was unaware of what all happened in Xi Manor in this half of shichen but he really missed Li Rui, his wife at this moment.
Would she blame him for revealing Li Na and Li Caihong\'s deeds in front of everyone? Xi Ying didn\'t really know the answer.
He just wished that Li Rui would not hate him for whatever he was doing today.
He just didn\'t want people to talk bad about her when in reality, she deserved to be praised for what she was.
His wife had the most extraordinary talent in medicine. She saved the life of an Imperial Prince but instead of getting praises, she was being blamed for something that she never did.
Just like what happened in the past four years when even he was unknown of her true nature.
Xi Ying sighed as he started to walk towards the banquet hall.
It didn\'t matter how much time his shadow guard would take. He will just ask for more time but today, Li Na and Li Caihong were going to get their punishment.
