Chapter 101 Coincidence
Because of Ye Linghan, Su Xing now has a better impression of Lin Lan'er.
Seeing Lin Lan'er in a daze, he took the initiative to ask: "Miss Lin is also coming here to eat?"
Lin Lan'er suddenly came back to her senses, but immediately lowered her head because her cheeks were hot. After a while, she said softly: "Yes, what a coincidence. I just heard the waiter say that he saw you, and you were in the private room where we met last time, so I thought of coming over to say hello."
After a pause, she slowly raised her head and said embarrassedly: "Did I disturb Mr. Su?"
As she spoke, she looked into the private room.
Su Xing waved his hands quickly: "No need to bother you, Your Highness and I just came here to have dinner."
"That's good." Lin Lan'er said softly, and suddenly seemed to remember something. She looked at Su Xing's neck and asked with concern: "Is Mr. Su's injury healed?"
Su Xing almost forgot about this matter. He was stunned for a moment before he replied gratefully: "Thank you Miss Lin for your concern. Everything is fine."
He really doesn't know how to chat with the opposite sex, and he didn't know what to say after saying this.
Lin Lan'er wanted to stay a little longer, but was afraid of disturbing Su Xing, after all, there was a prince of noble status sitting inside.
She could only look at Su Xing deeply, and reluctantly said: "Mr. Su, please be more careful in the future. Lan'er will take her leave first."
Lin Lan'er changed the way she addressed herself from "I" to "Lan'er" because she wanted to become closer to Su Xing.
But Su Xing, who was born stupid about this kind of thing, didn't understand it at all...
"Okay, I will. Take care, Miss Lin." Su Xing said with a warm smile.
After Lin Lan'er's figure completely disappeared, Su Xing closed the door and walked in, only to see Ye Lingchen staring at him with a half-smile, which looked malicious.
"Your Highness, why are you looking at me like that?" Su Xing felt creepy on his back.
Ye Lingchen raised his eyebrows meaningfully and said teasingly: "Su Xing, you are really popular with girls..."
Su Xing's face turned red with embarrassment: "Your Highness, please stop joking with me."
We just happened to meet and it's normal to say hello. What does it have to do with liking someone?
Ye Lingchen smiled but said nothing. He didn't want to say anything more, otherwise if Su Xing knew that Lin Lan'er was obsessed with him to such an extent, he was afraid that Su Xing would really get together with Lin Lan'er.
Although it seems that Lin Lan'er is more suitable for Su Xing at present, he still hopes that Su Xing can be with...
Why! Forget it, he should not think too much and just let nature take its course.
After dinner, they returned to the Regent's Palace to report the situation to Ye Linghan.
When I entered the study, Ye Linghan was reviewing memorials.
Hearing the voice, he slowly raised his head, his handsome face still looking cold and ruthless.
The two men saluted in turn and then reported the information they had found out.
Ye Linghan was silent for a while, then suddenly looked at Su Xing: "Where's the portrait?"
Su Xing slowly took out the portrait from his sleeve, walked over and presented it with both hands.
Fortunately, he took one with him when he left, otherwise Ye Linghan would definitely take advantage of the situation.
Ye Linghan first glanced coldly at the silent Su Xing, then shifted his gaze to the portrait.
The moment he saw the portrait, his brows couldn't help but frown.
Su Xing and Ye Lingchen both noticed it and became nervous. Could it be that Ye Linghan knew the person in the portrait?
"He was the one who poisoned the emperor." Ye Linghan said coldly.
Su Xing and Ye Lingchen were both stunned...
They guessed that this person might be a eunuch, but they didn't expect that he was actually close to the emperor, and he was the one who poisoned the emperor...
No one spoke in the study for a while. The three people were all lost in thought, and all they could think about was the case.
After a while, Ye Linghan asked Su Xing again: "What is your conclusion after investigating so far?"
When he asked this question, he seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness between them, just like when they investigated cases together before, it became a habit.
Su Xing was the same, with the case alone on his mind.
He pursed his lips and thought for a while, then slowly said, "Replying to the Regent, I speculate that the mastermind behind the whole thing is the Queen Mother."
He was so absorbed in analyzing the case that he did not notice the hierarchy of status.
"The Queen Mother first sought out Marquis Mu Yuan for help, and then asked Wu Xin to help her. Not only is Wu Xin reliable, but he can also be her scapegoat if something goes wrong."
Ye Lingchen was already stunned, but Su Xing was still talking leisurely: "As for Xia Chengxun, he was probably forced to join by the Queen Mother, so the kidnapping of Xia Yunjie was also done by the Queen Mother, including the fake Xia Yunjie, who was also sent by the Queen Mother."
"Su Xing..." Ye Lingchen tried to remind Su Xing, but Su Xing acted as if he didn't hear him and continued to talk recklessly: "Even poisoning the emperor should have been done by the Queen Mother."
After the words fell, the study room suddenly fell into deathly silence.
"Su Xing..." Ye Linghan's extremely cold voice broke the silence: "Do you know that what you just said would not be enough even if you died a thousand times?"
Su Xing looked at Ye Linghan calmly and said seriously, "I know."
"You know that and yet you still dare to say that?" Ye Linghan narrowed his eyes inadvertently.
Su Xing did not hesitate for a moment, and his voice was very calm: "Yes, this is the most reasonable inference I have made based on the clues I have so far."
Ye Linghan didn't say anything else, but stared at Su Xing with eyes like hooks, his expression changing from happy to unhappy.
After a long while, he actually curled his lips and smiled. It was not a sneer or a mocking smile, but a smile that showed he was in a good mood: "Your inference coincides with mine."
"But you still missed a little bit." Ye Linghan's eyes revealed a hint of provocation.
Su Xing also smiled mysteriously: "The Regent is talking about Miss Luo Ling'er?"
Ye Linghan did not answer, which was considered as his consent.
Unexpectedly, Su Xing said: "Actually, there is one more thing..."
Without waiting for Ye Linghan to respond, he said directly: "The real murderer who kidnapped me is also the Queen Mother."
After he finished speaking, Ye Linghan stared at Su Xing for a moment, and the corners of his mouth rose again.
Ye Lingchen on the side was confused. What was wrong with these two people?
Weren’t we just like enemies before? How did they become the best partners with perfect understanding in the blink of an eye?
And what outrageous things are they saying?
That's the Queen Mother. How could they convict her so recklessly?
Treason, kidnapping, poisoning the emperor, which one is not a capital crime, how could they do it so easily...
Ye Lingchen really couldn't hold it back any longer. He didn't want to be killed by these two people.
"Brother, isn't your speculation too arbitrary?" Ye Lingchen said cautiously: "After all, there is no direct evidence..."
If this were to be known by the civil and military officials, even if Ye Linghan was the regent, it would still be a huge trouble.
Ye Linghan was fine, after all, no one dared to do anything to him, but Su Xing...
"Evidence?" Ye Linghan glared at Ye Lingchen unhappily: "My patience is limited. I am not in the mood to play with them anymore!"
At first he just suspected Xia Yunxi, so he didn't take any action, but it was also to give her a chance.
Now all the clues point to her, and Xia Yunxi is unrepentant.
In this case, there is no need for him to show mercy...
