Chapter 123 Only Tell You

Su Xing waited at home from dawn to dusk, but Ye Linghan did not send anyone.

He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. How could Ye Linghan have endured for so long without causing trouble for him?

That's impossible. Something must have delayed him.

How could someone like Ye Linghan tolerate this?

Su Xing sneered disdainfully and continued to wait.

A night passed, Su Xing woke up from a nap, but Ye Linghan was still motionless.

What's going on?

Su Xing still didn't believe that Ye Linghan would forgive him. He must be busy with other things.

But what exactly happened?

Su Xing couldn't help but ponder...

What could make Ye Linghan so angry that he would not care about anything?

Could it be that Xia Yunjie has woken up?

Su Xing jumped off the bed, put on his shoes and ran out.

After walking a few steps, he stopped again...

I left so cool yesterday, and now I'm going back...

Just then, Xiao Zhuzi suddenly came in and said that someone had come from the Regent's Palace.

Su Xing was shocked, then he sneered: It seems he was overthinking it. Didn’t Ye Linghan send someone here?

"Got it." Su Xing said as he walked out.

When he saw that the person coming was Tianyi, he breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he was someone he was familiar with and should not make things difficult for him on the road.

"Guard Tianyi." Su Xing took the initiative to greet him.

Tianyi responded immediately: "Mr. Su, Xia Yunjie is awake, and the Regent asked you to go back quickly."

Su Xing was surprised and happy, Xia Yunjie really regained consciousness!

In addition to being surprised, he suddenly realized that Tianyi said that Ye Linghan asked him to go back because of Xia Yunjie?

"Guard Tianyi." Su Xing asked in disbelief, "Did the Regent let me go back because of Xia Yunjie?"

"Yes." Tian Yi replied without thinking.

Su Xing continued to ask, "Didn't the Regent say anything else?"

Tianyi didn't know what was wrong with Su Xing, but he thought about it seriously and replied: "The master didn't say anything else."

Su Xing was shocked. What did Ye Linghan mean?

"Master Su." Tian Yi saw Su Xing suddenly become dazed and reminded him urgently, "You'd better leave quickly. Don't let the Regent wait anxiously."

Su Xing came back to his senses immediately. He didn't have time to think about it and nodded, "Okay, let's go now."

Forget it, why think so much, you’ll know once you go there, right?

Anyway, no matter how Ye Linghan tortured him, he was ready.

The carriage ran very fast and returned to the gate of the Regent's Palace in less than half an hour.

As soon as they got off the car, they walked towards the room where Xia Yunjie was locked up.

Before entering the house, Su Xing felt the oppressive aura that belonged only to Ye Linghan.

He instantly recalled yesterday's scene and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

But he quickly suppressed it because he did nothing wrong!

After entering the house, he followed Tian Yiyi in saluting.

"My lord, Mr. Su is here." Tianyi spoke first.

"Greetings, the Regent." Su Xing's tone was very calm, even a little cold.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xing felt a sharp gaze suddenly shooting towards him, and then the atmosphere in the room became more depressing.

He sneered in his heart again. As expected, Ye Linghan was still angry...

"Come here!" Ye Linghan's voice was as cold as if it was covered with ice.

Su Xing walked over with an expressionless face. Before he could speak, he heard Ye Linghan continue to speak gloomily: "He said he would only tell you!"

Su Xing was slightly stunned, and then he understood everything.

It turned out that Xia Yunjie was only willing to communicate with him. No wonder Ye Linghan didn't settle the score with him immediately.

I'm afraid they are waiting to use him and settle the score with him later.

Never mind, he was ready anyway.

Su Xing stopped letting his mind wander and focused his attention on the case.

He glanced at Xia Yunjie first, then walked over quickly.

"Mr. Xia, my name is Su Xing." Su Xing introduced himself gently, "I'm the one who found you in the cave that day."

Xia Yunjie had kept his head down, and only slowly raised it when he heard Su Xing speak.

He narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Xing for a while, as if confirming whether Su Xing was the person he met in the cave that day.

"The Queen Mother had me kidnapped." The first thing Xia Yunjie said was what Su Xing and the others wanted to know most.

Without waiting for Su Xing to ask, he spilled the beans, saying in detail, "The Queen Mother summoned me to the palace that day and told me a lot about my childhood. I thought it was very strange, so I kept an eye on it. I didn't expect that she actually put drugs in my teacup."

"I wanted to secretly switch the cups, but she found out. She was very angry and had someone tie me up."

"I asked her why she did that and she wouldn't tell me."

"I was then taken out of the palace and locked up in a very shabby house. Two days later, I managed to escape."

"I wanted to go home and tell my dad, but I didn't see him. Instead, I saw someone who looked like me in my room."

Xia Yunjie's face gradually showed fear. "I don't know what's going on. I want to question him, but when I see all the servants calling him Young Master, I think there must be some conspiracy behind this, and it's related to the Queen Mother."

"I was afraid that no one would believe me, so I ran to the bamboo forest and hid there, planning to find out what was going on before telling my father."

"But..." Xia Yunjie became more and more scared as he spoke, his voice trembling: "The fake me also went to the bamboo forest, and I was with the queen mother... I wanted to find out what happened, so I hid in the cave I dug when I had nothing to do."

"I overheard that the Queen Mother promised the fake me that as long as he obeyed her, my identity would be his in the future. When she regained power in the court, he would be the uncle of the emperor, second only to the emperor."

At this point, Xia Yunjie began to tremble uncontrollably and was unable to speak.

Su Xing immediately patted him on the body to comfort him.

Ye Linghan asked impatiently: "What else did you hear?"

Xia Yunjie shuddered violently and immediately hugged his body in fear, as if he was in a cave.

Su Xing was afraid that he would shut himself off again, so he glared at Ye Linghan unhappily and continued to comfort him, "Don't be afraid, you are safe now, we will protect you."

After a while, Xia Yunjie continued, "I was worried that my father would recognize the fake one, so the Queen Mother advised him to keep it a secret until the deed was done, because she would kill my father after the deed was done..."

Xia Yunjie suddenly choked up and said, "I really don't understand why she would do this. She even wants to kill my father..."

Su Xing couldn't help but sigh when he thought of Xia Chengxun's ending. In the end, he died at the hands of his own daughter, and the key is still unknown.

"Anything else?" Su Xing asked softly.

Xia Yunjie cried for a while, then continued, "Then they left. I wanted to find a chance to inform Dad, but he was never home."

"Later, something happened in the Xia Mansion and my father was arrested. I didn't know what to do and could only hide in the wooden house. As a result..."

Xia Yunjie's face turned pale. "I saw the fake me being killed. I don't know if the real person he wanted to kill was me, and the fake me was just a scapegoat. I was so scared that I kept hiding in the cave and didn't dare to come out..."
