His Rui

With a pair of eyes that were full of shock, Zhao Zhang Wei saw Yi Huiqing stopping in front of the sitting Zhao Zhuang Chen.

It was only when Yi Huiqing bent her legs a little and bowed her head, he came out of his shock and immediately stood up from his seat and reached to stop Yi Huiqing.

"What are you doing? Leave from here."

Holding Yi Huiqing's arms firmly, Zhao Zhang Wei tried to make her stand straight.

However, Yi Huiqing held his hand with her other hand and looked at him with a pair of eyes that didn't hold any emotion.

"Leave me. You can't decide what I want or need to do."

Saying this, she freed her arm from Zhao Zhang Wei's hold.

As he stood there with his fists clenched, he could only watch silently as Yi Huiqing bowed her head again and said to Zhao Zhuang Chen respectfully

"Your Highness, please forgive the second prince and my husband for hitting you that day. He should not have behaved like that. Not only was that crossing the rules that are set for the members of the Imperial Clan but that was also stepping out of boundaries that should be respected by a younger one for his elder."

Zhao Zhuang Chen smirked. He was very satisfied with Yi Huiqing's apology.

Seeing how she was standing in front of him with her head bowed, he could feel the heat forming in the lower part of his stomach.

His eyes became too hot as he stared at Yi Huiqing.

Yi Huiqing couldn't see it but Zhao Zhang Wei could.

His eyes went red with anger and he immediately stepped forward to grab Zhao Zhuang Chen's collar. With his one hand, he made him stand up from the ground and then readied his fist to beat his already swollen and bruised face.

However, just before his fist could hit Zhao Zhuang Chen's face who was left shocked by the turn of events, a firm hold on his hand stopped him.

The next moment, he heard Yi Huiqing's soft voice from his behind.

"Hit him. If you want to see me bowing my head again then …hit him."

Only Yi Huiqing knew how she said those words.

She didn't know whether they will work or not but she tried. After this forceful apology, Yi Huiqing just wanted to leave from there and go inside her chambers.

However, it seems that the dog-man just could not see her peaceful life.

As if once was not enough, he was trying to create trouble for her once more.

It was very clear that it would be her again who would be blamed that Zhao Zhang Wei lost control because of her.

On the other hand, Zhao Zhang Wei had completely frozen after hearing Yi Huiqing's words.

Her words hit the bottom of his heart and he unconsciously left Zhao Zhuang Chen's collar.

On being freed, Zhao Zhuang Chen set his clothes right while glaring angrily at Zhao Zhang Wei. He felt very humiliated on thinking that he didn't even try to fight when Zhao Zhang Wei suddenly lifted him from the ground.

But in the corner of his heart and mind, Zhao Zhuang Chen knew very well that he had been afraid that Zhao Zhang Wei would hit him like that day again.

He just knew very well how to hide his fear with his anger.

So jerking his sleeve, he walked past Zhao Zhang Wei and said

"Benwang doesn't wish to stay here any longer."

When he was passing through Yi Huiqing who was standing behind Zhao Zhang Wei, he stopped suddenly and looked at her with a creepy smile as he said

"Since Princess Consort Yi apologized on behalf of Second Younger Brother, Benwang will forgive him. However, Princess Consort Yi, please keep him in check like this always otherwise you will have to give something else the next time."

Yi Huiqing exhaled sharply as she understood what Zhao Zhuang Chen was trying to imply.

She could feel the ants crawling on her skin after hearing his words.

"Elder Brother should leave now."

Zhao Zhang Wei emotionless voice interrupted Zhao Zhuang Chen's disgusting staring at Yi Huiqing.

Turning his neck a little around, Zhao Zhuang Chen smirked wickedly at Zhao Zhang Wei and said

"Of Course, If Second Younger Brother accompanies Benw to the doors of the Xinhe Palace."

Zhao Zhang Wei's eyes were cold but he nodded his head stiffly and then walked past Zhao Zhuang Chen.

His actions were very rude but Zhao Zhuang Chen just ignored them and followed him with his mother and Yun Weilan silently with a satisfied smirk on his face.

Being able to make Zhao Zhang Wei follow his orders, …it provided him great satisfaction.

The more satisfaction lingered in the fact that he now knew which raw nerve he had to press to control Zhao Zhang Wei.

All these years he was trying to find the same but he never found it out.

In the past four years, he heard the news of Yi Huiqing becoming pregnant twice. It was not that she was the only woman who has ever been pregnant in Xinhe Palace.

The thing was that she became pregnant twice.

Before her, Zhao Zhuang Chen had never worried that Zhao Zhang Wei could really become a threat to him.

But when Yi Huiqing became pregnant twice, he didn't dare to lower down his guard.

Zhao Zhuang Chen had thought that either Zhao Zhang Wei liked her or he was trying to make Yi Clan on his side so that he can also fight for the throne.

However, when Yi Huiqing miscarried, he also heard that Zhao Zhang Wei didn't even visit her both times.

So he thought that he was wrong.

However, seeing the things now, Zhao Zhuang Chen thought that he definitely was not wrong.

He turned around to look at quietly standing Yi Huiqing for one last time.

What a useful woman!

When she is Zhao Zhang Wei's wife, he could use her to control Zhao Zhang Wei.. And after he became the Emperor, he knew many ways to use her! He thought as his eyes roamed on Yi Huiqing's beautiful figure before he turned around to leave.
