Chapter 69: Saving a Life

Su Xing ignored his physical discomfort and turned his head to look into the yard repeatedly.

Tianyi knew Su Xing’s worries, but he didn’t dare to comfort him easily, because he knew better how terrifying the Regent was. Otherwise, he would have rushed in directly at that time instead of looking for Ye Lingchen to save people.

It’s not that he was afraid of being implicated, but that he would not be able to save Su Xing if he went.

But what he couldn't understand was what had happened. Why did his master and Su Xing become like that?

In order to divert Su Xing's attention and to find out what happened, he asked directly: "Mr. Su, what happened between you and the Regent?"

Su Xing came back to his senses when he heard Tianyi's voice. He turned around and glanced at Tianyi, but didn't know how to answer.

Because if Tianyi knew, he would probably just say you deserved it...

Just when Su Xing was speechless, Ye Lingchen's figure suddenly appeared. Both of them ignored everything else and quickly looked at Ye Lingchen.

Ye Lingchen took a deep breath and asked with concern: "Su Xing, how are you? Are you okay?"

Su Xing was very grateful to Ye Lingchen for helping him, he knew that Ye Lingchen had taken a great risk.

"I... am fine..." The moment he opened his mouth, he felt a tearing pain in his throat. He quickly covered his throat to relieve the pain for a while.

"How can it be so serious!" Ye Lingchen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly ordered Tianyi: "Go find a doctor quickly, I will take him back to his room first."

Tianyi was also worried about Su Xing, so he turned around and left immediately.

Su Xing, however, didn't care about his own body, and couldn't help looking towards the study.

Ye Lingchen immediately understood and comforted him, "Su Xing, don't worry. The emperor's anger has subsided and he won't cause you any more trouble."

Su Xing looked at Ye Lingchen in disbelief. Regardless of his sore throat, he eagerly asked, "Really?"

Ye Lingchen nodded: "Don't worry, I would never lie to you."

After saying that, he dragged Su Xing directly towards his residence.

Tianyi was very fast and the doctor came soon.

After a careful examination, the doctor prescribed an oral medicine, left some external medicine, and gave some instructions for precautions before respectfully leaving.

After applying the medicine, Su Xing’s throat didn’t hurt as much, but he could speak with difficulty.

Although Ye Lingchen was curious about what happened, he had no choice but to endure it.

Next, he and Tianyi discussed the issues that would arise after Su Xing.

"Su Xing, why don't you stay here with me for now and wait until your brother's anger has completely subsided before going back." Ye Lingchen suggested.

Tianyi disagreed: "This is not appropriate. If the regent knew about this, he might be even angrier."

He originally thought that the Regent would not easily forgive Su Xing, but he did not expect Ye Lingchen to say that he had calmed down. This was something he did not expect.

According to his past experience, if the Regent wanted to kill someone, he would never change his mind.

Since Su Xing once again asked the Regent to make an exception, it means that the Regent still cares about Su Xing.

Then the Regent King wouldn't like Su Xing and Ye Lingchen getting too close...

"Then what do you say we should do?" Ye Lingchen had no other choice but to throw up his hands.

Su Xing was embarrassed to cause trouble to others. Seeing this, he thought for a moment and said, "How about I go home first..."

He didn't want to cause trouble for Ye Lingchen, and he would feel even worse if he got involved again.

Instead of being at a loss in the palace, it would be better to go home first. Maybe Ye Linghan would be in a better mood if he couldn't see him.

If Ye Linghan still doesn't want to let him go, he can at least spend some time with his stupid parents and show his filial piety.

This proposal was unanimously agreed upon by Ye Lingchen and Tian Yi. For Su Xing's safety, they decided to send Su Xing back immediately to prevent Ye Linghan from changing his mind again.

As Ye Linghan's personal bodyguard, Tianyi didn't dare to leave for too long, so Ye Lingchen volunteered to escort Su Xing back home.

Su Xing felt a little guilty, and since his attempts to persuade him were useless, he had no choice but to agree.

In the carriage, Ye Lingchen couldn't help but ask about what happened: "Su Xing, what happened to you? Why did my brother get so angry?"

Su Xing paused at first, then avoided looking at Ye Lingchen. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have kept it a secret from Ye Lingchen, after all, it was Ye Lingchen who saved him.

But he really couldn't say it, because it was a stupid behavior that even he couldn't accept.

Seeing Su Xing's reaction, Ye Lingchen knew that Su Xing didn't want to say it.

Although my curiosity was as painful as a cat's claws, I had to give up: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, just pretend that I didn't ask. Anyway, I hope you are okay."

He guessed that something very unspeakable must have happened.

What could it be?

Su Xing was grateful for Ye Lingchen's understanding, but at the same time he felt very guilty. He endured the discomfort in his throat and said intermittently: "I'm sorry... Your Highness... for saving my life..."

As soon as Ye Lingchen heard Su Xing's voice, he felt sympathy for him and quickly raised his hand to stop Su Xing from finishing his words: "Okay, Su Xing, why are you being so polite? I treat you as a friend, so don't tell me about repaying a favor."

Su Xing, who had just been saved from the brink of death, instantly turned red when he heard this. He wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Ye Lingchen again: "Stop talking, I understand. You should take good care of yourself first, and don't look back to affect your recovery."

Su Xing didn't want to have a duck voice in the future, so he nodded gratefully and almost cried.

When we returned to the Shangshu Mansion, there was another round of panic.

Fortunately, Zhang was very clear-headed at the critical moment. She first confirmed that Su Xing was not in danger of life, then sent away the confused servants. After that, she did not ask anything and sent Su Xing back to the house directly to let him have a good rest.

Su Xing was afraid that Zhang would worry, and he wanted to speak but was always stopped by Zhang. He had to use gestures to tell Zhang that he was fine and she didn't need to worry.

Zhang also patted Su Xing's hand, and even though tears were welling up in her eyes, she still nodded with a strong look.

Su Xing lay on the straw bed, feeling strange and familiar at the same time, but at last he was alone.

He replayed what had just happened in his mind like a movie, and his body still couldn't help shaking with fear.

Apart from this, there is endless regret and self-blame.

He couldn't imagine what would happen between him and Ye Linghan in the future?

I'm afraid it will never be the same as before...

Thinking of this, he felt very uncomfortable, and at the same time, he also felt regret and sorrow...

It was ridiculous. He had been looking forward to being as far away from Ye Linghan as possible, but now that he was suddenly free of him, he did not feel happy or relieved. Instead...

The complicated emotions made his already uncomfortable body even more uncomfortable, his thoughts even more confused, and his brain was about to explode.

He tapped his forehead irritably, trying to calm himself down.

Although Ye Linghan was sitting in the study, his heart could not calm down.

Because there was a burning sensation in the palm of his hand, as if he was holding something hot.

He couldn't ignore the feeling, so he stared at the palm of his hand, as if trying to scare away the discomfort with his eyes.

But for some reason, under his gaze, the feeling became stronger and stronger.
