Chapter 24 What kind of mood

The first time Su Xing went to the Ministry of Justice prison, he couldn't help shivering when the dark and terrifying atmosphere hit him.

Although he had seen images of prisons on television in the past, after actually experiencing it, he realized that seeing with one's own eyes and experiencing it personally were two completely different things.

His body felt inexplicably cold, his heart beat faster and faster, and fear and anxiety were surrounding him little by little.

At this moment, he looked up at Ye Linghan in front of him, who was still so calm, as if he was walking in his own yard.

For some reason, Su Xing suddenly felt his heartbeat slow down and his body was not as cold anymore, as if he had gained strength from Ye Linghan.

But this power did not last long and disappeared the moment it saw Mu Yuanhou.

How many kinds of punishments would it take to turn a person into this state?

There were shocking wounds everywhere, some were caused by knives, some were caused by whips, and some were caused by branding irons. There was not a single good spot on his body.

It’s really tragic...

If Marquis Mu Yuan was already a corpse, Su Xing wouldn't think it was a big deal.

But she was still breathing, and was looking at him pleadingly. To be exact, she was looking at Ye Linghan beside him.

"Regent...Zheng...King...I...am wronged...wronged..." Marquis Mu Yuan's voice was as broken as his body. If the cell had not been too quiet, no one would have been able to hear what he was saying.

Su Xing didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. He almost immediately believed what Mu Yuanhou said and even wanted to rush over to help him.

But Ye Linghan just sneered, his tone as cold as the prison cell: "Unjust? I think you are too bold!"

"No..." Mu Yuanhou denied it immediately, but before he could finish his words he spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his whole body convulsed, and he fell to the ground.

Su Xing was so frightened that his heart felt like it was being squeezed by an invisible hand.

At this time, Ye Linghan actually walked up to Mu Yuanhou, raised one foot and stomped hard on his chest, shouting: "Speak! What do you want to do?"

Su Xing suddenly opened his eyes wide and almost screamed out.

Ye Linghan...how could he be so cruel?

What if Marquis Mu Yuan was really wronged?

The evidence from that letter alone is not sufficient. How could Ye Linghan...

Just as Su Xing was secretly condemning Ye Linghan's domineering behavior, a strange laugh suddenly rang out in the cell.

It's not only weird but also complicated, like you've been enduring for too long and finally have a chance to be released.

Su Xing immediately turned around to look for the source of the laughter. He didn't expect that someone would dare to be so rude in front of Ye Linghan.

But he searched around but couldn't find it. Finally, he turned his attention to the most unlikely person, Mu Yuanhou, and happened to see a sinister smile on Mu Yuanhou's face...

Before Su Xing could react, he saw Mu Yuanhou excitedly shouting, "Ye Linghan, you have come to this day! How do you feel? How does it feel to be kept in the dark?"

"Hahahahahaha... cough cough cough..." Mu Yuanhou laughed wildly again, accompanied by violent coughing.

Except for Ye Linghan, everyone looked extremely shocked. They all looked at him blankly with an expression as if Mu Yuanhou was crazy.

"So what?" Ye Linghan was not as furious as everyone thought. Instead, he was terrifyingly calm. He even took his foot off Mu Yuanhou, put his hands behind his back, looked down at Mu Yuanhou, and asked coldly: "You did all this just to see my reaction?"

"Hehe..." Mu Yuanhou laughed disdainfully: "Of course not, I want more than just this..."

"What do you want?" Something gradually emerged from Ye Linghan's deep black eyes...

"Do you think I will tell you?" Mu Yuanhou spat out word by word.

Ye Linghan clenched his fists instantly, making terrifying cracking sounds.

"Hahaha..." Marquis Mu Yuan laughed wildly again, and after a while he said again: "I'm kindly reminding you, don't think of killing me to vent your anger. If I die, the entire Ye Kingdom will be buried with me immediately. I advise you not to be impulsive... Hahaha..."

Everyone thought that Mu Yuanhou was seeking death, because Ye Linghan was not afraid of threats from others. He would rather bear the consequences than compromise.

Tianyi and the others didn't care. Anyway, they only had Ye Linghan in their eyes and they didn't care about what was happening in Ye Kingdom.

Liu Yan could no longer remain calm. He didn't want to see anything happen to Ye Country, so he risked his life to step forward. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Ye Linghan slowly turning around.

"Send the doctor."

Liu Yan hadn't reacted until Tianyi took the order and left. How could the Regent hold back?

The purpose of calling the imperial physician is self-evident, to treat Marquis Mu Yuan...

Marquis Mu Yuan seemed to be addicted to courting death. Upon hearing this, he mocked again: "I didn't expect that the regent who hates threats the most can be so tolerant? Hahaha... I really didn't expect it..."

After saying this, he burst into unstoppable laughter, and the entire cell seemed to be shaken by the laughter.

"You shouldn't, Ye Linghan, why do you have to endure it?" Mu Yuanhou hadn't finished talking, and continued to speak sarcastically in Ye Linghan's direction: "I know, you have done too much for the Ye Kingdom, so you can't bear to see it destroyed?"

"But so what? Even though you fought for the Night Kingdom, the late emperor still gave the throne to a baby who hadn't been weaned off instead of you...

"Why is that?" Mu Yuanhou's expression suddenly changed from a sly smile to contempt: "Because, you are a wild..."

"Shut up!" Ye Linghan turned around angrily and stepped on Mu Yuanhou's face, interrupting him from speaking.

With a crack, the sound of broken bones was heard.

Su Xing's heart was shocked. According to his judgment, Marquis Mu Yuan's nose was broken...

But this was not what shocked him the most. He was surprised by what Mu Yuanhou did not finish.

What is the secret between Ye Linghan and the late emperor?

Why not give him the throne? What exactly does Mu Yuanhou want to say? What is he trying to say...

Bastard?

This word suddenly popped up in Su Xing's mind, and then he was shocked by it!

Ye Linghan actually...

Is this secret something he can hear? Will he be silenced by Ye Linghan?

Su Xing should have been afraid, but he didn't care because his heart was completely filled with another emotion.

Ye Linghan went to the battlefield when he was a teenager. He fought for the Ye Kingdom and assisted the new emperor after the death of the previous emperor. In just a few years, he made the strength of the Ye Kingdom surpass that of several other countries.

What kind of mood was he in when he did this?

Why do this?

Su Xing couldn't help but look at Ye Linghan, and unexpectedly saw a hint of unwillingness and pain on that handsome face that had never been moved before.

Just when everyone thought that Marquis Mu Yuan was definitely going to die this time, Ye Linghan let him go again.

But he didn't stay any longer, instead he turned around and left the cell.

When Su Xing saw Ye Linghan leaving, he immediately followed. Liu Yan and others did not dare to say a word, but just knelt on the ground respectfully until Ye Linghan's figure disappeared.

Su Xing jogged all the way and barely caught up with Ye Linghan.

After getting on the carriage, he huddled in a corner as much as possible, not daring to make any sound...
