His Rui

Chapter 647 Xi Ling Has A Bad Timing

　　"And you can't stay awake for a whole week."

　　Xi Ying spoke calmly as he looked at Gu Li.

　　Li Rui nodded her head with disappointment filled eyes. She felt very low when she saw Gu Li's blank face. She swallowed and suggested what she had been thinking.

　　"If there can be more people who at least know the basics of medicine, then it can help me a lot, Senior Brother."

　　Gu Li's blank eyes gained their focus back after he heard Li Rui's suggestion. He registered his words in his mind slowly and slowly and immediately nodded his head as his eyes were filled with hope again.

　　"How many people do you need? I will bring every physician of Xin if that is what you require."

　　Li Rui chuckled while Xi Ying looked at Gu Li deeply.

　　He somehow respected the way Gu Li cared for his master. As much as he had understood, Gu Li would be going to take the whole responsibility of Youxio after the old master. The people of Youxio had already started to treat him as their master but he still wanted his master to gain his consciousness back. He didn't have any greed for the position of Superior.

　　He just wanted his master to recover soon.

　　This genuineness and honesty made his guards lower down a little. So when he heard Li Rui speaking that she wanted almost five physicians, he spoke calmly

　　"This Lord will send his people to bring the physicians."

　　Gu Li looked at him and spoke politely.

　　"Prime Minister Xi doesn't need to bother."

　　However, Xi Ying spoke calmly

　　"No bother."

　　So Gu Li could only accept his offer.

　　.

　　.

　　.

　　Xi Ying sent back An San and An Si back to the Imperial City the same night.

　　He asked them to bring six physicians who know basics of the medicines, one more than Li Rui had demanded for. He also asked them to check their backgrounds before bringing them here. 

　　When Gu Li offered that his shadow guards could accompany them, he didn't refuse.

　　The six physicians needed to bring back to Youxio's valley also so they could help his shadow guards. He didn't want to reduce the shadow guards he had brought with himself, so he accepted Gu Li's offer. 

　　The shadow guards left that night.

　　By the next morning, every shadow guard in Youxio knew that Li Rui knew how to treat the old master. There was a wave of joy in the huge group and a few shadow guards couldn't stop their tears.

　　Everyone were thinking that those days for Youxio would come back where they would no longer work for the money solely but for the people…the objective with which this organization was built by its creator.

　　It was the first night after so many years that everyone in Youxio looked forward to the next day and slept peacefully.

　　The next morning, when Li Rui woke up she saw Xi Ying sitting on the chair that was placed inside the tent and scribbling on a leaf with a brush. She noticed that he seemed to have made some red liquid by grinding some flowers.

　　She woke up slowly as if afraid to wake up her son and walked towards him.

　　She frowned in confusion when she saw that he was drawing something on that leaf. It seemed to be like a map of something. She took a step closer to see more closely, however, Xi Ying immediately crunched the leaf in his hand and threw it away casually.

　　Li Rui frowned as she looked at him and asked

　　"What were you doing?"

　　Xi Ying smiled calmly as he stood up and stroked her hairs that were all around after she had woken up.

　　"Nothing that you should be concerned with in the early morning." 

　　However, his words only made her frown deeper but she didn't say anything. Xi Ying sighed when he noticed this.

　　He leaned down to kiss her forehead that was full of frown and whispered

　　"Alright, I will tell you later, Promise."

　　Only then her frown disappeared and Xi Ying sighed in relief. He leaned his head against hers inhaling her sweet scent as he whispered

　　"Tell me if you need anything for the treatment."

　　Li Rui nodded her head calmly.

　　Actually Xi Ying wished that she wouldn't do it. A whole week…he was worried that it would harm her health but he didn't want to look controlling in her eyes by stopping her. He trusted Li Rui. She would never do something that would put their child in danger and at this moment, their child and hers health was very much related.

　　Since she cared about their child so she would never let any harm come to her health. Otherwise she would have never asked for extra physicians to help her. 

　　Still, he couldn't help but whisper

　　"You must take care of yourself."

　　Li Rui looked into his eyes that were staring at her deeply. She was about to nod her head when she heard him continuing.

　　"If I saw you not taking care if your own health then I shall take you back at that moment itself."

　　She could see how serious he was.

　　In a way, she thought she should not have liked what he said but a part of her liked what he said. She liked how much he cared for her and their child.

　　Suppressing the strange feeling inside her chest, she nodded her head obediently.

　　"I understand." 

　　Xii Ying couldn't stop himself from leaning down to kiss her lips when he saw how obedient she was. If only she had said no, he would have found an opportunity to take her back right away.

　　But she was so obedient…so sensible. How could he even refuse her anything and not look out for her wishes and demands. 

　　His lips were merely a needle distance away from hers and Li Rui closed her eyes slowly knowing what was coming.

　　However, before he could even touch them, a sleepy voice interrupted both of them.

　　"Mother…"

　　Xi Ying could only sigh and look at his empty hands and then at his wife's back as she ran towards the bed to their son who had just woken from the sleep.

　　For the umpteenth time, Xi Ying couldn't help but think.

　　'The brat had a very bad timing.'
