Chapter 142 I Won't Change My Mind
Although Su Xing felt that it was unnecessary for Ye Linghan to ask Ye Lingchen to come back, thanks to Ye Lingchen, he hadn't been so happy in a long time.
Not only did Ye Lingchen tell him a lot of interesting things he encountered outside, but he was also very happy just having Ye Lingchen around.
It was like having a new companion, and he felt more confident.
As the two chatted, they soon talked about the case.
"Your Highness..." Su Xing hesitated for a moment, but decided to ask: "Do you know what the Grand Tutor will use to threaten the Regent?"
Ye Lingchen had no idea at first, and even couldn't believe that Li Yuan would do this.
"This matter, this king really..." Ye Lingchen suddenly thought of something, opened his eyes, glanced at Su Xing, and said in a tactful tone: "This king may know, but... This king can't tell you."
Su Xing's heart sank suddenly. It must be about Ye Linghan's life experience, otherwise Ye Lingchen would not have said that.
"Your Highness..." Su Xing looked serious, and his voice unconsciously lowered: "Is it... related to the regent's background?"
"Su Xing, how could you..." Ye Lingchen's eyes suddenly widened, with shock in his eyes.
Su Xing was more certain of his guess. He pursed his lips and explained, "When the Regent interrogated Marquis Mu Yuan before, Marquis Mu Yuan mentioned this matter, so I..."
He always remembered this incident, but didn't dare tell anyone.
He felt very sympathetic towards Ye Linghan because of this incident...
Thinking of it again now, the feeling I had at that time also reappears.
Ye Lingchen stared at Su Xing blankly for a while, then spoke with a complicated expression: "This matter has actually always been a rumor. No one knows whether it is true or not. After all, it involves the royal family's reputation, so no one dares to discuss it."
"Since it is just a rumor, how dare Master Li use it to threaten the Regent?" Su Xing couldn't figure it out. Did he have evidence in his hands?
"Before my father passed away, he specially summoned Li Yuan to meet him." Ye Lingchen guessed, "My father must know whether this is true or not. Maybe he told Li Taifu."
Su Xing felt indescribably heavy. Does that mean Ye Linghan is really not of royal blood?
Ye Linghan’s arrogant and handsome face immediately appeared in front of his eyes. If this was true, how would Ye Linghan cope with it?
How has he dealt with his identity as the "fake prince" over the years?
When he thought of this, Su Xing's heart tightened uncontrollably, and he was shrouded in sadness and anxiety.
"Su Xing, don't worry too much." Ye Lingchen saw the worry on Su Xing's face and hurriedly comforted him: "Whether the royal brother is of royal blood or not, his foundation in the Ye Kingdom is very solid. In addition, with his methods, he will not be easily threatened by Li Yuan."
This comfort did not alleviate Su Xing's worries. He was silent for a moment: "But the regent has to face not only Li Taifu, but also the queen mother and the Marquis Mu Yuan who has never shown up."
Especially Marquis Mu Yuan, no one knows what he is plotting.
When he thought of the conspiracy that Xia Chengxun had mentioned at the time, his worry turned into panic.
After hearing what Su Xing said, Ye Lingchen also became nervous.
Indeed, Ye Linghan seemed to have never encountered such a difficult situation in all these years.
At this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty that he shouldn't have just left before.
Since he has joined Ye Linghan, he should make some contributions.
"Su Xing, don't worry." Ye Lingchen assured, "Now that I'm back, I will do my best to assist my brother and will never let anything happen to him."
After a pause, he deliberately added: "This is my first time as a matchmaker, I have to make it work."
Su Xing was just about to praise Ye Lingchen for being a loyal man when he was shocked by Ye Lingchen's next words.
Ye Lingchen has mentioned the matter between him and Ye Linghan several times today, but he has been avoiding it.
Now that Ye Lingchen had spoken so bluntly, he felt that escaping was not an option.
After a moment of silence, he decided to confess: "Your Highness, about me and the Regent..."
Ye Lingchen listened carefully, and his expression became more solemn the more he listened.
He did not rush to persuade Su Xing, but asked a very direct question like before: "Su Xing, I understand your thoughts, and I also know that my brother is not an easy person to get along with, but if you do this, can you guarantee that you will not regret it in the future?"
Su Xing stared at Ye Lingchen in a daze. He had never really thought about this question.
Because he suffered too much in this relationship, he just wanted to stay away from it. He didn't consider whether he would regret it.
When asked by Ye Lingchen, he couldn't help but think about it.
"Your Highness." Su Xing replied after a brief thought: "I can't guarantee it."
Ye Lingchen immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He opened his mouth, intending to continue persuading Su Xing.
Su Xing said first: "But I won't change my mind."
“Su Xing…” Ye Lingchen didn’t know what to say for a moment.
"Your Highness, you don't have to persuade me." Su Xing said firmly, "The Regent and I are not from the same world. Not to mention that we are both men, even our statuses are not compatible."
"What's more..." Su Xing pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a sad and bitter smile: "Isn't the wedding date of the Regent and Miss Luo coming soon? I don't think the Regent will cancel the engagement for me."
Ye Lingchen moved his mouth again, as if he wanted to say something, but Su Xing spoke first: "My love requires me to be loyal to one person, both physically and mentally. I cannot accept someone who says he loves me but wants to marry someone else."
That's not true love at all, it's selfish possession at most.
“Su Xing…” Ye Lingchen finally found an opportunity to speak: “I understand what you said, but it’s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that my brother is of such a high status.”
"I know." Su Xing smiled slightly: "That's why I said we are not from the same world."
The "world" in this sentence refers to the real "world".
He is not from this world, and his understanding of many things is different from theirs.
He should always remember this, then he would not fall in love with Ye Linghan and end up in such a situation.
Ye Lingchen felt complicated, shocked and helpless.
He didn't expect that Su Xing's attitude towards feelings was so pure. Although it was completely different from what he had heard and seen since he was a child, he could understand it.
He even felt that this was how love should be.
But he still didn't want Su Xing to give up just like that. He always felt that the fate between Su Xing and Ye Linghan was very magical and would not end like this.
It seems that he needs to talk to Ye Linghan again.
“Su Xing, I understand your thoughts.” Ye Lingchen said as he considered, “No matter what decision you make, I will support you. Remember, you are always my most important friend.”
Su Xing couldn't help but redden his eyes. How could he deserve to have a friend like Ye Lingchen?
Ye Lingchen was infected and his chest felt swollen.
At this moment, Ye Linghan suddenly opened the door and came in...
