Chapter 497 Li Caihong Gets The Evidence

The maid that had been sent to the brothel by Li Caihong came back after a Shichen.

Li Caihong was very happy when she came to know that the maid was successful in bringing whatever she had asked her to bring from the brothel.

There was mainly one brothel in the Imperial City that was famous by the name of the red district.

Li Caihong remembered very well that four years ago when her sister had sent her maidservant to bring the aphrodisiacs then the maidservant had brought it from there only.

The main thing however in all this was that the maid had to give someone\'s name to buy the aphrodisiacs and she had given her sister\'s name.

Hence, the document of purchase of aphrodisiacs from the brothel has Li Na\'s name on it.

Not only this, even this time during the Mid Autumn Festival Banquet, Li Na had brought the aphrodisiacs from the red district only.

Li Caihong\'s eyes went cold when she saw that for the second time when Li Na bought the aphrodisiacs she had used her (Li Caihong\'s name).

So Li Na suddenly seems to be scared that someone would find it. In fact, Li Rui already knew this by that time.

That\'s why perhaps Li Na decided to be careful for the second time and used her (Li Caihong\'s name).

Though they were young misses of Li Clan which has such a high name and reputation in Xin, they still were not powerful enough to force the brothel owners to destroy the documents and the aphrodisiacs couldn\'t be bought by just anyone.

And hence using the name of someone from the noble family was very important.

People from ordinary family has to give more money to buy aphrodisiacs. However, Li Caihong remembered that at that time, she and her sister were not left with much money after buying dresses and makeup accessories for themselves so they could only try to adjust with the little bit of money they were left with.

However, at that time, they had never thought this adjustment of money would bring such a misfortune to them in the fortune.

But at this moment, Li Caihong was going to take the advantage of the same mistake and then force Li Na to bring that ointment for her.

In just a flash of a moment, Li Caihong tore the document of purchase that was for the second time and smiled coldly.

As long as she showed only one document and said that Li Na bought the aphrodisiacs a second time too, everyone would believe her.

Thinking this, Li Caihong felt very confident that her face would heal soon and she rewarded the maid with a huge amount of coins again.

The maid left the courtyard happily.

On the other hand, Li Na\'s plan had also started to show its consequences.

In just two shichen, everyone in the Imperial City was talking about how Li Rui had an ointment that could heal the scar on Li Caihong\'s face but she refused to give it to her.

Li Rui was not a good sister.

With one rumor, there started another rumor.

Every passing Shichen, people started to add more and more to the already told lies and Li Rui soon became a stain on Li Clan in people\'s eyes.

Everyone suddenly pitied Xi Ying for having such a wife.

They were waiting for tomorrow\'s banquet. After all, they wanted to see whether Prime Minister Xi would be that loving to Li Rui in this upcoming banquet or not like he was to her in the last banquet.

As people started to talk about this matter, some also started a rumor that Xi Ying would soon divorce Li Rui and marry Princess Wenling.

In a matter of few shichen, the people of Imperial City predicted this and that.

Tomorrow was going to be a really long day.

But everyone was looking forward to it now.

Inside Delan Palace, Zhao Zhuang Chen was looking at the chessboard placed in front of him with a frown on his forehead when his shadow guard suddenly entered the room and kneeled down in front of him.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

Zhao Zhuang Chen frowned went deeper as he was left startled by the sudden presence of a shadow guard inside his room.

He put down the chess piece in his hand and tried to look composed as he asked

"Did you find anything?"

The shadow guard lowered his head respectfully and said

"Your Highness indeed guessed right. The convoy from the neighboring Empire is really planning to do something."

"Oh..."

Zhao Zhuang Chen whispered as he wondered inside his heart silently what the convoy might be planning.

In fact, he had never thought that the convoy was really planning something. In his eyes, Xi Ying\'s doubts were baseless. However, he still investigated because he didn\'t want to make Xi Ying angry when he was trying to make the young Prime Minister come to his side.

"Report."

He asked looking all mighty and intelligent in the shadow guard\'s eyes who never knew that it was Xi Ying actually who doubted the convoy.

"Your Highness, this servant had been following the people of the convoy for a whole day now. The convoy has three people and all of them seem to be ministers in the Imperial Court of the neighboring Empire."

Zhao Zhuang Chen said in an annoyed voice.

"Why are you telling me all this?"

"Your Highness..."

The shadow guard looked confused. He thought that he was supposed to report everything.

However, Zhao Zhuang Chen felt furious seeing him so confused. He raised his leg to kick him harshly.

"Stupid..."

He didn\'t know why but sometimes he feels that his shadow guards were only strong physically but they could be fooled by anyone.

"This servant apologizes."

The shadow guard apologized immediately when he maintained his balance and kneeled on the ground again.

"What are they planning?"

Zhao Zhuang Chen said coldly.

This time the shadow guard answered immediately.

"Your Highness, the convoy is planning to attack the second prince in tomorrow\'s banquet."
