Chapter 125 See You Again
Su Xing has been at home for five days, and the complicated feelings he had when he left the Regent's Palace have not yet disappeared.
Not only did the feeling not go away, it became even worse. My heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand. I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't eat or sleep.
At the same time, many major events happened in these five days.
The first one is related to the emperor.
It is said that the emperor has contracted a strange disease and cannot go out or see anyone, otherwise his life will be in danger.
The second thing is that the Emperor of the Moon Kingdom is coming to visit Ye Linghan, and he is already on the way and will arrive in the next few days.
The third thing is the marriage of Ye Linghan and Luo Linger. The date has been set and the wedding will take place in a month.
It shouldn't have happened so soon. After all, Ye Linghan was of noble status, so the wedding had to be extra grand.
It is said that it was held earlier in order to bring good luck to the emperor.
As soon as this news came out, those who originally thought that Ye Linghan had the intention of rebellion gradually changed their views.
Only Grand Tutor Li Yuan remained unmoved, and wrote to the emperor several times asking Ye Linghan to explain the matter of the emperor's illness clearly.
Ye Linghan flatly refused on the grounds that it was a matter of the emperor's life, but Li Yuan refused to give up and threatened that if Ye Linghan insisted on doing so, he would have to fight to the death.
After Xiao Zhuzi told these stories vividly, he looked at Su Xing with expectant eyes.
He hoped that Su Xing could be happier and not look so listless all the time.
Su Xing knew Xiao Zhuzi's good intentions and couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he cooperated by pretending to be shocked: "I didn't expect so many things to happen at once..."
But what concerned him most was the marriage between Ye Linghan and Luo Linger.
He knew he shouldn't do this, but he just couldn't control himself.
He didn't know why this happened...
He couldn't help but think of Ye Lingchen's words again. Could it be that he really had feelings for Ye Linghan?
He still couldn't believe it.
Just then, Zhang came.
"Okay, how are you feeling today?" Zhang asked with concern as she entered the room.
Su Xing quickly replied with a smile: "I'm sorry for worrying you, mother. I'm fine now."
He has been staying in the house these days, claiming he is not feeling well, but in fact he is just not in the mood to see anyone.
But it’s not a good idea to continue like this. The most important thing is not to make our elders worry.
"I'm glad you're okay." Zhang looked at her son carefully, and was relieved when she saw that there was nothing wrong.
She then asked, "Are you still going to the Regent's Palace?"
When Su Xing heard the words "Regent's Palace", his heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if these words were taboo and he felt uncomfortable whenever he heard them.
But he didn't show it, and replied naturally: "No, the case is almost over."
Zhang smiled happily: "That's great, I can see you every day from now on."
Su Xing should have been happy with Zhang, but he just couldn't be happy, and even felt like crying.
Zhang was so happy that she didn't notice her son's abnormality. Instead, she thought of something else that made her even more excited.
"So, your marriage can be settled?" Zhang looked at Su Xing expectantly.
Su Xing was stunned. He almost forgot about this agreement.
If it was before, he would have agreed without hesitation, but now... he really couldn't say it.
Not only because he wasn't in that mood right now, but also because he was afraid that what Ye Lingchen said was true.
In that case, if he agreed, wouldn't that be harming Lin Lan'er?
"Mother..." Su Xing pondered for a moment and said, "Can you give me some more time? I want to meet Miss Lin again. After all, it's a big deal, so I think we should be cautious."
Zhang looked at her son's serious expression and suddenly had a bad feeling.
She subconsciously wanted to refuse, but what Su Xing said was right, she should be cautious.
She had no choice but to agree: "Okay, Mom knows, Mom promises you."
Just as Su Xing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang said, "But Xing'er, although this matter has not been announced to the public, both our families have tacitly agreed to it. Mother hopes that you..."
She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Su Xing knew what it was.
Zhang was afraid that she would go back on her word, which would not only damage the harmony between the two families, but also make all his efforts to change his image as a fool go to waste.
The price is indeed high, but that doesn't mean we can get engaged rashly without figuring things out.
What if he really did... wouldn't that ruin Lin Lan'er's life?
Su Xing didn't want to wait until it was too late to regret, he had to get to the bottom of it.
So he immediately wrote a letter, asking Lin Lan'er to go on a boat trip the next day, and asked Xiao Zhuzi to send it to the Lin Mansion.
In less than an hour, Xiao Zhuzi came back with Lin Lan'er's reply.
Lin Lan'er agreed to meet Su Xing tomorrow. Although Lin Lan'er was very restrained, her anticipation for the meeting was revealed between the lines.
But when Su Xing saw all this, he only felt uneasiness and guilt.
Forget it, I don’t want to think too much about it. I’ll talk about it when we meet.
The Regent's Palace has begun to be decorated for the wedding in a month.
In just a few days, the originally solemn and deserted palace changed its appearance.
The festive red color was everywhere, from the door to the courtyard wall, and even the trees in the garden were tied with red satin.
It looks quite lively, but something seems wrong, as if it doesn't fit.
This was the unanimous feeling of everyone in the palace.
But the people who came to make arrangements were sent by the Princess's Mansion, so they couldn't say anything.
It wasn't until Ye Linghan, who hadn't been home for a few days, saw it that his face suddenly darkened: "Who told you to do this?"
He was already in a bad mood as he hadn't slept for several days, let alone seeing the bright red color all over the yard?
A fat old man came running over, knelt down and said, "Greetings, Lord Regent. The eldest princess ordered me to come and make arrangements."
The old man didn't realize how ugly Ye Linghan's expression was, and continued to flatter him, "The princess said that although time is short, we must have everything we need, especially a grand ceremony to match your noble status as the regent."
The old man thought that what was waiting for him must be Ye Linghan's generous reward, but he didn't expect that he almost lost his life...
“I’ll give you one stick of incense…” Ye Linghan spoke word by word, his voice as cold as an evil ghost coming to claim his life: “Restore everything to its original state, otherwise…”
Ye Linghan didn't finish his words. He just gave the old man a very gloomy look and walked in.
Returning to the study, he sat down on the chair tiredly.
He first reached out and pinched his eyebrows, then closed his eyes and rested for a while.
Suddenly he opened his eyes again, and his sharp gaze swept around the room, finally falling on the couch in the study.
He stared at that place for a long time, and the expression on his handsome face changed from cold to confused, and from confused to hesitant, and finally suddenly turned into disdain.
He snorted coldly and looked away.
Then he casually picked up the memorial on the table, and after opening it, he paused...
The crooked words on it were exactly what Su Xing had written before.
