The Shocked Zhao Wang Lei

Standing inside the Imperial Chamber, Xi Ying saw the emotions flashing across Zhao Wang Lei's eyes very clearly. He also saw that Zhao Wang Lei had already realized that he was under attack. 

"Prime Minister Xi"

Zhao Wang Lei spoke with a cold smile on his lips as he looked at Zhao Zhang Wei, General Li, Yi Junjie, and lastly at his biological mother. 

A tint of bitterness surely flashed in his eyes before he continued. 

"Can Zhen know the purpose behind your visit at such a time?"

There was no humor in Zhao Wang Lei's voice and he surely had understood what they were doing here. 

So why was he asking such a question? 

Because he wanted to buy time. 

Xi Ying knew that very well. The Emperor must be startled. After all, their invasion was all of a sudden. 

Hence, he must be trying to devise some plan. 

However, Xi Ying was not going to let that happen.
