Chapter 100 Wait and See
Ye Linghan didn't have the patience to take it slow, and as soon as he saw Xia Yunxi, he asked coldly about Luo Ling'er's whereabouts.
Xia Yunxi's face froze when she saw Ye Linghan's surprise. Her eyes turned red and she asked in a trembling voice, "The Regent King actually suspected me?"
Ye Linghan didn't say anything, but just looked at her sharply.
Xia Yunxi's tears burst out, and her voice became excited: "Why? How could I do such a thing? How could the Regent..."
She felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't continue speaking. She turned her head away and stopped looking at Ye Linghan, but her shoulders kept shaking.
Ye Linghan was unmoved and said mercilessly: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Doing this will not only ruin you, but also the emperor!"
Xia Yunxi shuddered, and after a while she turned around, looking at Ye Linghan with tears on her face, her eyes full of pain: "Not only does the Regent not believe me, he is also threatening me?"
Ye Linghan still did not answer, his eyes became even colder, and there was even a hint of disgust.
"You..." Xia Yunxi staggered a step, as if she had suffered a great blow, but after a moment, she suddenly roared: "What basis does the Regent have to doubt me? Do you have any evidence? Otherwise, it is slandering me. I will definitely ask the civil and military officials to seek justice for me!"
Ye Linghan didn't take Xia Yunxi's threat seriously at all and didn't even blink.
"The Queen Mother wants evidence?" Ye Linghan said sarcastically, "I will definitely find the evidence, but then the Queen Mother will have no chance to redeem herself. Are you sure you want more evidence?"
Xia Yunxi's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She shouted even more angrily, "I never did anything like this. Prince Regent, please stop exaggerating!"
Ye Linghan fell silent again, but the look he gave Xia Yunxi became sharper, as if he wanted to pierce through her.
Xia Yunxi was not willing to be outdone and stared at Ye Linghan angrily.
"The Queen Mother today is really..." Ye Linghan actually curled the corners of his lips: "She makes me look at her with new eyes..."
As soon as the words fell, Xia Yunxi's face was stunned, and many expressions flashed across her beautiful eyes in an instant.
She looked away in embarrassment and asked coldly, "What does the Regent mean?"
Ye Linghan looked at Xia Yunxi indifferently, but his eyes seemed to have gone back to a long time ago: "The former Queen Mother, I always remember..."
Xia Yunxi suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Ye Linghan in disbelief. The tears that had stopped flowing started to well up in her eyes again.
"You..." Xia Yunxi's throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't speak at all. She tried for a long time before she uttered a choked call: "Brother Han..."
This cry was like a door that had been closed for a long time. Once it was opened, the things inside could no longer be controlled and rushed out.
But before she could say anything about reminiscing about the past, Ye Linghan suddenly smiled contemptuously: "Queen Dowager, please respect yourself. I am not here to reminisce about the past with you..."
Xia Yunxi felt like she was slapped in the face. Her fair cheeks turned red instantly. There was shock in her eyes at first, followed by deep shame.
She was furious and pointed her long nails at Ye Linghan fiercely, but because of her anger, her lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word.
Ye Linghan seemed to be watching a play, taking in the expression on Xia Yunxi's face, his cold eyes full of mockery.
Xia Yunxi was so angry that she was shaking all over and her face was so red that blood seemed to drip out.
She suddenly roared: "Don't even think about marrying Luo Ling'er in this life! I won't let you see her again!"
Ye Linghan narrowed his eyes coldly, and his handsome face suddenly darkened: "The Queen Mother has admitted it?"
Xia Yunxi was shocked all over, and only then did she realize that she had fallen into Ye Linghan's trap.
But she was not angry, instead she seemed to be in a much better mood.
"What did I admit?" Xia Yunxi wiped her tears nonchalantly and even smiled slightly: "Did the Regent hear it wrong?"
Without waiting for Ye Linghan to answer, she continued, "I just feel that Luo Ling'er is in danger, and the Regent may never see her again, that's all..."
"I have said..." Ye Linghan was not angry at Xia Yunxi's cunningness, but said calmly: "If anything happens to her, neither you nor the emperor will have an easy time."
"Hehe... She is just the mother of an eldest princess. I am the Queen Mother of Ye Kingdom. She alone cannot shake me and the Emperor." Xia Yunxi seemed to have suddenly become a different person, with a smug look on her face: "If the Regent does not believe it, we can wait and see."
Su Xing brought the old man selling candy figures to the Ministry of Justice and explained their purpose. Liu Yan immediately found a painter.
Fortunately, the old man did not brag and his description was quite professional, so the painter quickly drew the portrait.
Su Xing first picked up the portrait and looked at it, then handed it to Ye Lingchen.
Ye Lingchen looked at it for a long time, then shook his head helplessly: "I have never seen it."
Liu Yan and others also looked at it one by one, all with confused expressions.
"Your Highness," Su Xing asked, "Can we ask someone in the palace to take a look?"
"No problem." Ye Lingchen answered simply, "I will arrange it."
"This must be done in secret." Su Xing warned carefully. If Xia Yunxi knew about this, it would definitely alert the enemy.
"Don't worry." Ye Lingchen knew Su Xing's concerns.
After leaving the Ministry of Justice, Ye Lingchen asked someone to deliver a letter to the palace.
After making all the arrangements, Ye Lingchen rubbed his stomach pitifully and said, "Su Xing, we haven't had lunch yet, let's go eat."
It would have been better if he didn't say it, because once he said it, Su Xing was also hungry.
Although I don’t know how long I can live, there is no need to starve myself as long as I’m alive.
After a brief discussion, the two went to Tingfeng Tower.
Coincidentally, the private room the waiter took them to was the one where Su Xing and Lin Lan'er had their blind date.
This made both of them think of that day...
"Su Xing, have you seen Miss Lin recently?" Ye Lingchen asked casually while picking up some food.
Su Xing took a sip of tea and said calmly, "No."
"Have you thought carefully about the question I asked you last time?" Ye Lingchen looked at Su Xing but did not stop shoveling rice into his mouth.
Su Xing paused for a moment while picking up the food, and then he said, "No."
I didn’t have time to think about it before, and now there is no need to think about it.
Ye Lingchen didn't know whether he should continue asking, because Su Xing's current state was too different from before.
But Su Xing asked back: "Why did your Highness ask me those two questions?"
Why does Ye Lingchen feel that he has feelings for Ye Linghan? Why do you feel that he has no interest in Lin Lan'er?
Ye Lingchen was stunned, and his chopsticks stopped at his mouth.
After a while, he said: "This king..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a knock on the door, and a gentle voice came: "Is this Mr. Su?"
Su Xing and Ye Lingchen were both startled. Su Xing came to his senses first, stood up and walked towards the door.
Ye Lingchen showed an extremely complicated expression. Things in the world are really coincidental.
You really can't talk about people behind their backs. Whoever you talk about will come to you.
Before Ye Lingchen could finish his sigh, the door opened and the person standing outside was none other than Lin Lan'er, whom they had just discussed.
Lin Lan'er was a little overwhelmed by the sudden interruption, but when she saw Su Xing dressed in new clothes, she was stunned on the spot...
