Chapter 212 Let Him Die

The news that Ye Lingrui was in danger of death reached the cold palace in an inadvertent way. Before Xia Yunxi could react, Quan Ruhai panicked first.

He knew very well that if the emperor died, the empress dowager would also die, and then he would be even more dead.

"Empress Dowager, what should we do?" Quan Ruhai said with a sad face, fearfully: "How could something happen to the Emperor?"

Xia Yunxi withdrew her gaze from the distance, with a subtle calculation hidden in her eyes.

She looked at Quan Ruhai with a half-smile and said slowly: "Who knows? There are many things in this world that are unpredictable."

Quan Ruhai was stunned by Xia Yunxi's indifference. He didn't understand why the Queen Mother wasn't worried. Wasn't she afraid that if the Emperor died, she would also...

"Empress Dowager..." Quan Ruhai hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking: "Aren't you worried that if something happens to the emperor, the regent will..."

He didn't dare to say the following words. Even if Xia Yunxi was locked up in the cold palace, she was still his master. He had a deep-seated awe for Xia Yunxi.

Xia Yunxi smiled slightly: "The Emperor will be fine..."

Under Quan Ruhai's confused gaze, she slowly said: "As long as I am here..."

The more Quan Ruhai listened, the more confused he became. He had no idea what Xia Yunxi was talking about.

He could only ask carefully: "Queen Mother, what you said..."

Xia Yunxi smiled and waved her hand, interrupting Quan Ruhai and suddenly ordered: "Go find the guards outside the door and tell them that I can save the emperor."

Quan Ruhai was completely dumbfounded, but he didn't dare to question Xia Yunxi. He quickly agreed and hurried to the door.

Su Xing had been in a state of nervous waiting since he left the palace, and he didn't even have time to eat or sleep, including taking care of Ye Linghan.

Ye Linghan was very dissatisfied and scolded him several times, but Su Xing still looked absent-minded.

Just when he was about to teach Su Xing a lesson, news came from the palace.

After hearing this, Su Xing was eager to enter the palace, but was rejected by Ye Linghan.

"Why don't you let me enter the palace?" Su Xing forgot in his anxiety that Ye Linghan would only respond to soft words and not hard ones.

Ye Linghan was feeling so angry that he had no chance to vent it. Seeing Su Xing getting anxious, he suddenly felt relieved.

"Since it has been confirmed that it was the Queen Mother who did it, there is no need to investigate the matter further." The implication is that Su Xing is no longer needed.

Su Xing was stunned at first, and then he was furious.

What does Ling Han mean this night? Are you going to cross the river and then destroy the bridge?

Just abandon him after you've used him? That’s too much!

What made him even angrier was that what Ye Linghan said was not wrong.

If it was Xia Yunxi who did it, then the next step would be a contest between Ye Linghan and Xia Yunxi.

He held no official position nor was he a member of the royal family, so he really had no position to get involved.

But he was unwilling to accept it. Why did Ye Linghan treat him like this?

Su Xing was angry and depressed. He did not respond to Ye Linghan and turned directly into the inner room.

Ye Linghan had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. He just felt relieved. He watched Su Xing enter the house before turning around and leaving.

Ye Linghan went straight to the cold palace. As soon as he entered, he saw Xia Yunxi sitting in the yard. She was not surprised to see him, as if she had expected him to come.

Ye Linghan walked in expressionlessly, looking at Xia Yunxi coldly without saying a word.

Xia Yunxi was not in a hurry. She stared at Ye Linghan for a moment before she smiled slightly: "The Regent is finally here..."

"What do you want?" Ye Linghan didn't waste any words and asked directly.

"The Regent is really anxious..." Xia Yunxi smiled again, but that smile was only on the corners of her mouth. Her beautiful almond eyes were filled with a chilling coldness: "I want...Su Xing to die..."

Ye Linghan's expression did not change, but a terrifying murderous aura suddenly erupted from his body: "You're looking for death!"

Xia Yunxi seemed to have expected this answer. Her expression did not change, and even the smile on her lips was still there, and even deepened.

"Isn't the Regent afraid that the Emperor will die?"

Ye Linghan did not answer, not because he did not know how to answer, but because he simply did not want to discuss this matter with Xia Yunxi.

No matter what happened, it could not be compared with Su Xing, not even the emperor or his life.

Xia Yunxi seemed to see through Ye Linghan's thoughts. Although her face remained calm, her heart tightened a little bit.

She could never have imagined that Su Xing... could be valued so much by Ye Linghan...

How much she had hoped that Ye Linghan would treat her like this?

It took her several years to plan this conspiracy, from seducing Marquis Mu Yuan to work for her to even involving his own son. And all she did was to get Ye Linghan.

But unexpectedly, she lost to the man named Su Xing...

How could she be willing!

"In that case..." Xia Yunxi suddenly stood up and ordered them to leave: "Prince Regent, please go back."

Ye Linghan still didn't say anything. He just looked at Xia Yunxi with a gloomy look, then turned around and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Xia Yunxi's voice suddenly came from behind: "There is something I have to remind the Regent. From the day the Emperor fell into a coma, there are still seven days left. Once that time is up, he will die."

After listening to this, Ye Linghan didn't even turn his head back, and walked out decisively.

Seeing this, Xia Yunxi could no longer maintain her composure. Her face was distorted and her eyes were vicious, just like a female ghost who wanted to eat people.

Although Su Xing was angry, he was still concerned about the things in the palace. He wondered how Ye Linghan and Xia Yunxi were talking.

What kind of conditions will Xia Yunxi put forward?

In fact, there is no need to ask, it must be very harsh, such as letting her come out of the cold palace, restoring her previous identity, etc.

How will Ye Linghan respond?

Do you promise? still······

Su Xing thought about it for a long time, thinking about almost every possibility.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Ling Han coming back.

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Linghan stood behind Su Xing and watched him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but shouted.

Su Xing was so frightened that his heart almost stopped and his soul left his body.

Coupled with the fact that Ye Linghan didn't let him enter the palace, he suddenly had new hatred and old grudges, and his tone was so fierce: "Don't you know that scaring people can kill them?"

Ye Linghan should have been angry because Su Xing was becoming more and more lawless.

But for some reason, seeing Su Xing so energetic, the gloomy mood in the cold palace just now was instantly dispelled.

Not only was he not angry, but he reached out and hugged Su Xing in his arms without saying a word. He just hugged Su Xing tightly with his head resting on Su Xing's shoulder.

It’s like a person who has run out of energy finally finds an energy replenishing station.

Su Xing's first reaction was to push Ye Linghan away fiercely, because he was still angry, and Ye Linghan actually hugged him.

But then he felt something was wrong, Ye Linghan looked strange.

Could it be related to Xia Yunxi?

What exactly did Xia Yunxi ask for?

"Prince Regent..." Su Xing endured for a while, but couldn't help it: "What did the Queen Mother say to you?"
