His Rui-Chapter 661 The Sixth Night

Xi Ying took Li Rui out of the tent to rest for some time after two shichen.

Gu Li stayed inside the tent as well as the old physician. Before leaving the tent, Li Rui told the old physician many things as well as told the other physicians which needle needed to be removed in how much time and where it had to be reinserted.

Li Rui ate something and then talked to her son for some time who told her eagerly how he enjoyed his time with Youxios shadow guards.

After some time, Xi Ying dragged his son out of the tent so that she would be able to rest.

When Xi Ling got busy playing again, he went back to the tent and lay beside his wife. By looking at the small movement of her eyelashes he knew that she was not asleep yet.

He sighed as well as smiled.

He didn't know if it was his illusion but she would generally not sleep without him by her side in the past few months.

And somewhere, this made him very happy.

Regardless of whatever reason behind this, he was happy that he had become so important to her.

With his hand around her waist, he kissed her forehead and whispered free𝚠𝚎𝚋𝒏𝚘ѵ𝐞l.𝑐oｍ

"Sleep. I will wake up after a shichen."

Li Rui nodded her head. She had been feeling sleepy so she soon fell into a deep slumber.

Exactly a shichen later, Li Rui was woken up by Xi Ying.

After washing her face with water, she went to the old master's tent. She asked the old physician to go and rest.

The old physician was reluctant to leave as he wanted to watch what she was going to do next. However, he also knew that he needed to be here later in her absence and for that, he needed to have some rest now.

With the old physician, two other physicians were also sent to rest.

After exiting the tent, the old physician requested Rong Ting to give him a separate tent.

Rong Ting had seen Physician Ruan being dragged out so he, without any question, arranged a separate tent for the old physician.

The old physician finally went to sleep.

The cycle continued for the next six days.

In this span, Gu Li finally understood what the old physician had been saying.

Li Rui really craved very different things and her craving was all of a sudden.

Sometimes she had been sleeping at midnight and then would tell Xi Ying that she wanted to eat something sour and spicy.

The first time when this happened and Xi Ying like a good and obedient husband stepped out of the tent, Gu Li had seen him.

When he came to know of Li Rui's wish, he told Xi Ying that he would immediately ask the cook to make something like that.

However, Li Rui didn't even taste the dish when she smelled it. Unfortunately, the cook in Youxio was not too experienced and skilled.

At the same time, she felt embarrassed for troubling so many people.

"Leave it. I will be fine after some time."

She said politely even though her nose was itching to smell that particular kind of aroma and her tongue also wanted to taste that particular taste.

"No!"

Xi Ying and Gu Li spoke in a chorus.

They looked at each other and then again said at the same time.

"I will go and bring something."

They looked at each other again.

In the end, Xi Ying left the valley. Since Xi Ying had left, Gu Li didn't think that it was wise for him to leave as well so he asked Rong Ting to go with him.

Finally, when Xi Ying brought a dish that was sour as well as spicy, Li Rui ate with relish and then slept for some time.

Everyone sighed in relief.

However, the next time, she started craving something else again.

This time, Gu Li left the valley and abducted the chef from a very famous restaurant.

Li Rui was shocked when she came to know of this. However, when she remembered the tasty dishes prepared by the chef, she felt guilty as she didn't ask Gu Li to send the chef back to the restaurant as he cooked very delicious dishes.

But she requested Gu Li not to scare the chef much and treat him well.

The chef was already happy with that and when he was given a huge sum of money by Xi Ying and told that he will be safely sent back after a few days, he cooked the meal more diligently to earn more money.

Six days passed like this. f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮

Everything was going alright.

Youxio shadow guards had started to like Xi Ling very much.

The young master of Xi Manor soon became the most pampered and the smallest member of Youxio. Li Rui had smiled when she had once found him fighting with a wooden sword with Gu Li.

She was happy that he was getting to enjoy his childhood finally.

It was on the sixth night when the chaos occurred.

Xi Ying was sleeping inside the tent with his son and wife when he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were deathly cold and he looked towards the tent cloth.

A clear shadow could be seen through the cloth because of the light of the lamp that was lit inside the tent.

His eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he slowly got up from the bed and then walked out of the tent silently with his sword in his hand.

Without making any noise, he killed the unfamiliar man who had a sword in his hand.

He glanced at the man's opened eyes... indicating how shocked he had been in the last few moments of his life and then his eyes went to his clothes.

They sharpened when he saw the embroidered sign on the corner of his robe.

And when he raised his head to look around, the muscle of his jaw twitched in anger. Not even a second had passed, when he saw Gu Li and other shadow guards of Youxio as well as his, stepping out of their tents …and then the fight started.
