Chapter 91: Prison Cell Mutation

Su Xing couldn't answer either of the two questions. His mind was confused and his heart was even more confused.

He felt that he should figure it out, otherwise he would definitely regret it in the future.

But when he arrived at the Xia Mansion, he had no time to think about it anymore and could only put these two problems aside for the time being.

Ye Lingchen didn't say anything else. As a friend, he could only say so much. The rest was up to the person involved to think about and make the decision himself.

The Xia Mansion at this moment looked no different from before, but the atmosphere inside the mansion was completely different from before.

The whole mansion was extremely quiet, and within the silence there was an extremely depressing feeling.

Everyone in the mansion looked very cautious. When they saw outsiders coming, they froze immediately, then lowered their heads in fear and curled up as much as possible.

Su Xing looked at this with mixed feelings, and his expression became even gentler.

Ye Lingchen had long been accustomed to these things, and nothing had changed.

Qin Xue, who received the news, came forward quickly and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ning." Then he nodded to Su Xing and said, "Master Su."

Su Xing returned the greeting respectfully, and then explained his purpose: "General Qin, we have some questions we would like to ask the people in Xia Yunjie's courtyard."

Qin Xue was very cooperative: "Mr. Su, wait a moment. I will have someone arrange it now."

Not long after, they met the servants who usually served Xia Yunjie in the front hall. There were about ten of them, including several people who went to the Ministry of Justice to identify the body last time.

"Recall it." Su Xing asked politely, "Has Mr. Xia changed in this period of time?"

After the words fell, everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, everyone's expression was confused.

Seeing this, Su Xing reminded him again: "For example, is there anything about his personality or hobbies that is suddenly different from before?"

He had experience with this kind of thing, it was like he had suddenly traveled through time, his soul had changed, and many of his habits had changed.

However, Xia Yunjie's change should be greater. He has become a completely different person.

This seemed to give them a direction. After a while, a young servant said nervously, "Your Excellency, I have made a discovery."

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the servant, who immediately shrank his neck in fear. After a moment, he said, "I am the master's personal servant. In the past, the master would take me with him wherever he went or whatever he did. But some time ago, the master didn't allow me to enter the room or follow him when he went out."

Su Xing's eyelids twitched. This was indeed suspicious, but he couldn't make a conclusion based on this.

"Did anything happen during that time?" Su Xing asked.

Generally speaking, this kind of transformation may occur if something happens, such as stimulation or trauma.

Upon hearing this, not only the servant, but everyone else's faces froze.

They all looked away, as if they were guilty.

The servant turned pale, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head firmly: "No, nothing happened."

It was so abnormal that Su Xing couldn't believe it.

He frowned and thought for a while, and something suddenly flashed through his mind.

He frowned and asked seriously, "Has Mr. Xia been kidnapped during that time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a firecracker had suddenly been thrown into the quiet house. Everyone was startled for a moment, and then looked over, each look revealing a strong sense of disbelief.

Su Xing immediately confirmed his judgment, which was also his guess before coming here.

It was at that time that the fake Xia Yunjie sneaked into the Xia Mansion...

"How dare you!" Ye Lingchen, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly shouted angrily: "Don't you know how serious the crime Xia Mansion has committed? How dare you conceal it!"

After all, he was born a prince and had been a prince for many years. Although he was a leisurely person, his innate nobility and domineering nature could not be hidden.

When he got angry, everyone was so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Please spare my life! I won't dare to do it again!" The servant pleaded in a trembling voice: "I didn't conceal it on purpose, but the master has ordered that no one can mention this matter, otherwise they will be punished according to the family law!"

Su Xing knew about this and could understand it, but now was a critical moment and nothing was more important than the case.

So he asked more seriously: "This matter is of great importance. Nothing should be concealed, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"

"Yes! I obey your command!" The servant hurriedly said honestly: "Just as you said, the young master was kidnapped and suddenly came back two days later. Since then, the young master has changed."

The other servants were afraid of being held accountable, so they rushed to speak up one after another: "Yes, the young master is indeed different from before. At first, we thought that the kidnapping incident had left a shadow on the young master, but now it seems that the young master has become a completely different person."

"So, I have discovered something strange." Another young servant said loudly: "Before, the young master never went to the boudoir where the queen mother used to live, but after the young master was kidnapped, I saw him sneaking in several times."

These words instantly reminded Su Xing of the portrait incident. If the fake Xia Yunjie was in love with Xia Yunxi, it would be reasonable for him to secretly go to the boudoir where Xia Yunxi once lived.

It seems that the real Xia Yunjie never came back after being kidnapped, and the one who came back was the fake Xia Yunjie.

Does Xia Chengxun know about this?

Many questions suddenly arose in Su Xing's mind, and each one made him anxious.

He turned to Ye Lingchen and said, "Your Highness, let's go."

He had to notify Ye Linghan as soon as possible and interrogate Xia Chengxun.

Ye Lingchen didn't say anything. He just nodded and walked towards the door first.

Back at the Regent's Palace, the guards said Ye Linghan had entered the palace and the Emperor was unwell.

Su Xing was a little surprised. Why did the emperor suddenly feel unwell?

But he soon stopped paying attention to this matter and started thinking about what to do next?

Waiting for Ye Linghan to come back?

Just then, there was a sudden commotion from the direction of the cell.

It was almost impossible for such a thing to happen in Ye Linghan's mansion. Su Xing and Ye Lingchen were both shocked, and then their faces changed drastically.

Something happened!

They didn't have time to talk and ran towards the cell.

Tianyi, who had been guarding Wuxin in the cell, happened to run out. He was injured, his abdomen was covered in blood, and his body was shaking.

"Guard Tianyi!" Su Xing hurried forward to support him: "What happened?"

Tianyi grabbed Su Xing's arm tightly as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw: "Where is the regent?"

"The Regent has entered the palace!" Su Xing was worried about Tianyi's injury and wanted to check his hand but couldn't move.

"What exactly happened?" Ye Lingchen asked in a deep voice.

Tianyi's face froze, and he spoke with difficulty: "Wuxin woke up suddenly, and I was caught off guard and attacked by him."

Su Xing was shocked, and then he had a bad feeling: "What then?"

Tianyi said guiltily: "He took the opportunity to run to Xia Chengxun's cell. When his subordinates arrived, Xia Chengxun had been killed, and Wuxin was also dead..."
