Chapter 111: Aggravated Crime

Before Ying Er responded, Qin Xue brought back good news.

Luo Ling'er has been found and sent back to the Princess's Mansion.

Ye Linghan didn't care about Luo Ling'er's condition or whether she was injured. He just asked, "Did you find her in Marquis Mu Yuan's villa?"

Qin Xue replied affirmatively: "Your Majesty, yes, and it is in the cellar of the other courtyard. It took a lot of effort to find it."

"Where is the person in charge? Has he been brought back?" Ye Linghan asked again.

Qin Xue's expression tensed: "I didn't see anyone else when I went there. Miss Luo was the only one in the cellar, and she had fainted. It looked like she hadn't eaten or drunk for several days."

After hearing this, Ye Linghan remained unmoved, as if Luo Linger's life or death had nothing to do with him.

Su Xing was stunned. He asked anxiously, "Did Miss Luo wake up? Is her life in danger?"

These words actually made Ye Linghan react. He looked at Su Xing unhappily, as if to say: What does it have to do with you? What an overflow of sympathy!

Su Xing didn't care how Ye Linghan looked at him, and looked at Qin Xue anxiously.

It would be such a pity if such a young girl died just like that.

Qin Xue didn't think much about it and replied directly: "The person has woken up, he should be fine."

Su Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately...

After expressing his feelings about Luo Ling'er, he thought of Ling Chen's miserable appearance last night.

After Qin Xue left, he said to Ye Linghan carefully: "Prince Regent, His Royal Highness Prince Ning is very worried about you. Do you want to tell him the truth?"

He promised Ye Lingchen yesterday that he would go find him, but he hasn't gone yet.

Ye Linghan was already upset about Su Xing's excessive compassion, and mentioning Ye Lingchen at this time was simply walking into a trap...

"How dare you!" he shouted angrily, "Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"

He really couldn't understand Su Xing. He cared so much about everyone. What good would it do him?

How stupid!

Su Xing guessed that Ye Linghan would not agree easily, but he did not give up because he was very worried about Ye Lingchen.

"Regent, calm down." Su Xing suppressed his anger and patiently advised: "You also know that His Royal Highness Prince Ning is impatient, and I am afraid that he might do something impulsive. Now is a critical moment, if we miss the important task, won't all our efforts be wasted?"

In order to see Ye Lingchen as soon as possible, he had no choice but to lie.

In fact, he knew very well that Ye Lingchen was still very reliable at critical moments and had a smart mind.

When Ye Linghan heard Su Xing say this, the unhappiness in his heart actually eased a little.

That’s right, Ye Lingchen is too unreliable and is a hidden danger...

He looked at Su Xing deeply and snorted coldly: "Whatever you want!"

Su Xing was delighted, as this was an agreement.

But before he could be happy for long, Ye Linghan threatened again: "But I have to remind you, if anything happens because of this, he can't get away, and you will be guilty of an even greater crime!"

Su Xing had long been accustomed to Ye Linghan's threats and had become immune to them: "Yes, thank you, Lord Regent. I will take my leave first."

After he said that, he walked towards the door at a very fast pace.

Looking at his hurried back, Ye Linghan suddenly regretted it.

But he couldn't say it, so he could only continue to be unhappy.

Even though Ye Lingchen had taken a shower and changed into clean clothes, his handsome face still had that frightened expression.

He couldn't eat or sleep, and all he could think about was whether Yue Cen would come to settle the score with him...

How could such a thing happen? He still couldn't believe it.

He originally thought that Yue Cen had raped him while he was drunk, but Yue Cen actually said that he was the one who took the initiative...

Of course he didn't believe it, but his guards personally confirmed that it was he who insisted on following Yue Cen back to the bedroom, and they tried to stop him, but to no avail.

Yue Cen even took off her clothes to show him the various scratches and bites on her body, saying that they were all his work...

Although he still said he didn't believe it, he was panicking in his heart.

Later, when a minister came to Yue Cen to discuss state affairs, he took the opportunity to escape from the Yue Kingdom Palace.

After that, he rode his horse all the way back to the Regent's Palace in a state of embarrassment...

Otherwise, just run away!

Ye Lingchen stood up suddenly!

At this moment, Su Xing's voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, are you there? It's me."

Ye Lingchen immediately came back to his senses, rushed to the door and quickly opened it: "Su Xing, why are you here just now!"

Su Xing smiled apologetically: "I'm a little bit stuck."

"How is my brother? Is he seriously injured?"

Su Xing did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked back, then closed the door and motioned for Ye Lingchen to talk inside.

Ye Lingchen didn't understand what was going on, but he didn't refuse and followed Su Xing inside.

"Don't worry, Your Highness..." Su Xing explained the whole story in a low voice.

Ye Lingchen was stunned for a long time, and after he recovered, he almost cried.

So they are all acting?

If Ye Linghan hadn’t been injured, he would have already escaped!

Now you tell him the injury is fake?

He felt depressed and helpless, as if he had to swallow his broken teeth.

After a pause, he asked, "Are you sure you can do this?"

"The traitor has already taken action." Su Xing said in a deep voice: "As long as we find the contact person, we can find the mastermind behind the scenes."

They all firmly believed that it must be Xia Yunxi.

“But…isn’t the Queen Mother under house arrest?” Ye Lingchen questioned, “Even if he is the one behind this, the news can’t get in.”

"Ying Er has been in the palace for so many days without finding any clues, which means that they are not transmitting information in the open. This is a good opportunity to find out how they transmit information without any leaks."

Ye Lingchen still wasn't very optimistic about this method, as he felt it wouldn't be that easy to find evidence, but he didn't want to throw cold water on it either.

After finishing the business, Su Xing asked about Ye Lingchen's personal affairs: "Your Highness, can you tell me what happened now?"

Ye Lingchen's eyes suddenly flashed with panic: "Su Xing, what did you say? What happened?"

“Don’t hide it from me, Your Highness.” Su Xing was not curious, but was worried about Ye Lingchen: “If nothing happened, you wouldn’t cry like that.”

Ye Lingchen instantly thought of the scene of himself hugging Su Xing and crying, and his handsome face couldn't help but turn red.

He also wanted to tell Su Xing, so that at least he could have someone to share his emotions with, but he really couldn't say it!

What if Su Xing's impression of him becomes worse because of this, wouldn't he lose both his innocence and his friends?

“I am really fine.” Ye Lingchen forced a smile. “I was just too tired from the trip. Then I heard that my brother was attacked, so I lost control of my emotions.”

Su Xing still didn't believe it. Just as he was about to refute, he heard Ye Lingchen say, "Su Xing, don't think too much. I am a prince after all. I am always a guest of honor wherever I go. What could happen? Is there anyone who dares to bully me?"

Su Xing couldn't refute this, but he still felt something was wrong: "Your Highness..."

As Su Xing opened his mouth, the door was pushed open.

"Your Highness, Master Su, the Regent wants you to go over immediately!"
