Chapter 240: Pleading for mercy

Su Xing guessed that Ye Linghan would be very angry, but he didn't expect him to be so angry.

From what Ye Linghan said, he wants to drive Qin Xue away?

How disappointed would Qin Xue be if these words were spoken?

After all, the one with the problem is the strong man, not Qin Xue. Even if they are relatives, Qin Xue can't keep an eye on him all the time.

Another point is, if Qin Xue was driven away because of him, wouldn't he become the "female disaster" in the eyes of others?

In short, no matter from which angle, he had to stop Ye Linghan.

But Ye Linghan was very unhappy. He felt that Su Xing's old fault had come back again, and he immediately scolded him: "You don't need to interfere in this matter, shut up!"

Su Xing did not argue with Ye Linghan. He lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, begging: "Please, Regent, follow the laws of the Ye Kingdom and do not implicate irrelevant people."

Ye Linghan was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qin Xue was shocked by Su Xing's plea and clasped his fists to Su Xing: "Mr. Su, thank you for speaking for me, but I am indeed responsible for this matter and I am willing to accept the punishment."

"It's just..." Qin Xue glanced at Ye Linghan anxiously and whispered, "I want to continue serving the Regent, even if it means staying in the barracks as a soldier..."

Su Xing was somewhat moved, and before Ye Linghan could speak, he boldly replied: "General Qin, rest assured, the Regent is wise and brave, and will definitely handle this matter fairly!"

He hadn't realized that he had already crossed Ye Linghan's bottom line. After making his promise to Qin Xue, he looked at Ye Linghan expectantly and asked fearlessly, "Regent, don't you agree?"

Ye Linghan nearly bit his teeth and clenched his fists to burst before he could hold back from losing his temper.

Otherwise, he really wanted to strangle Su Xing to death.

Does this guy know who he is doing this for?

This guy is so good, not only is he ungrateful, he also keeps sabotaging him!

The atmosphere instantly reached a deadlock, and everyone held their breath, wishing to reduce their presence to the lowest level.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps were heard.

A moment later, a pair of slender and beautiful hands squeezed in through the door frame. As soon as he entered the room, he searched around until he saw Su Xing.

"Su Xing!" Ye Lingchen exclaimed and ran towards Su Xing: "Su Xing, are you okay? Are you injured?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I'm fine." Su Xing stretched out his hand and shook Ye Lingchen's hand tightly while explaining anxiously.

Ye Lingchen was worried, so he checked Su Xing from head to toe. If there were no one around, he would have really wanted to strip Su Xing naked and check him thoroughly.

This scene immediately caused extreme dissatisfaction among the two men. Their faces changed at the same time, and the temperature in the woodshed dropped by half.

The parties involved are completely unaware of this and are still caring about each other...

"Su Xing, you scared me to death. You don't know, I was here just now, and the result was..." Having said this, Ye Lingchen seemed to suddenly remember something. His eyes darkened, and then he turned around and continued his inspection.

He quickly locked onto the burly man whose face was swollen like a pig's head, and immediately rushed forward and kicked him: "Is it you?"

Not satisfied with just one kick, he kicked several more times, cursing as he kicked: "How dare you attack my friend? You don't even take me seriously!"

The sturdy man was kicked and fled everywhere. He wanted to beg for mercy but couldn't make a sound. He could only look at Ye Lingchen in horror, his eyes filled with fear and regret.

He never thought that the person who came to his house just now was actually His Royal Highness Prince Ning, and that Su Xing was actually a friend of Prince Ning.

He really couldn't think of it, otherwise he wouldn't dare to touch Su Xing even if he was beaten to death!

Ye Lingchen got tired after kicking for a while, mainly because he had been tortured by Yue Cen every night recently and his waist was hurting.

He stopped to catch his breath for a while, and just as he was about to reach out to rub his waist, someone got there first.

Yue Cen walked behind Ye Lingchen without knowing when, and while quietly rubbing Ye Lingchen's waist, she smiled to Su Xing and said, "I'm glad that Master Su is okay. Lingchen was worried to death."

Su Xing bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help. Su Xing will remember this."

Most people in the woodshed didn't know Yue Cen's identity, and they were stunned when they heard Su Xing's address.

What is going on? For such an insignificant matter, two princes and an emperor came?

Before everyone could recover from their shock, footsteps were heard outside the door again, and in a large group.

"Lei'er! Lei'er!" A burly old man rushed in, and as soon as he entered the room, he threw himself beside the strong man and cried: "Lei'er, what's wrong with you!"

When the strong man saw the old man, he was stunned for a moment, and then burst into tears like a lost child who finally saw his family.

But his mouth was blocked and he couldn't make any sound, which resulted in a lot of snot coming out of his nose.

Everyone was stunned because the scene was so weird. Two big and strong men were hugging each other and crying like children.

Fortunately, this scene didn't last long. The burly old man let go of the strong man, turned around and knelt down facing Ye Linghan: "Regent, calm down. This is all my fault. The child made such a big mistake because he felt sorry for me. It's because I didn't teach him well. I am willing to take the blame for my son. No matter what punishment I am willing to take, I only ask the Regent to spare his life."

The old man spoke with such sincerity that even though the people around him were dissatisfied with the strong man, they couldn't help but be moved.

It’s a pity that he was facing the cold-blooded Ye Linghan. Not only was Ye Linghan not moved at all, but his patience had already been exhausted because of the series of events that had just happened.

Hearing the old man's plea, his patience instantly reached its limit: "Take them all out and behead them in public!"

After the words fell, the room suddenly fell silent, but everyone had a different expression.

Yue Cen and Ye Lingchen both had indifferent attitudes, but Qin Xue was shocked. He looked at the old man and then at Ye Linghan, his mouth moved but he didn't say anything in the end.

Doctor Huang was already terrified. He had no idea that his case would involve so many powerful people.

Su Xing knew that if he asked for mercy again, Ye Linghan would be so angry that he would die, and might even punish him as well.

However, he really couldn't just sit back and watch, even though he was the victim.

Because when looking at the old man, he couldn't help but think of Cao Bao's parents, and he really couldn't bear to make such parents sad.

So he took a deep breath and knelt down in front of Ye Linghan again: "Regent, their crimes do not deserve death. Please be lenient with them."

When he spoke, he lowered his head early and didn't dare to look at Ye Linghan's expression.

In fact, he didn't need to look, because he could feel how angry Ye Linghan was.

The chill emanating from Ye Linghan almost froze the woodshed, as if someone was pouring snow into his collar, causing him to shiver immediately.

Su Xing immediately shrank his neck and closed his eyes, waiting for Ye Linghan's anger.

But Ye Linghan did not get angry. Instead, after a long while, he said in an extremely cold tone: "Su Xing, I will not care about your affairs anymore."
