Chapter 148 Something Happened Again
After Luo Ling'er left, Ye Linghan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
It wasn’t because of Luo Ling’er, but because he thought of Su Xing.
He immediately walked out the door and actually saw Su Xing.
"Why are you here!" Seeing Su Xing's absent-minded look, Ye Linghan's heart tightened instantly.
Su Xing suddenly came back to his senses, and before he could respond, Ye Linghan grabbed his hand: "What are you thinking about?"
He thought Su Xing had heard his conversation with Luo Ling'er and began to have wild thoughts again.
Su Xing's uneasiness was instantly resolved by the tension in Ye Linghan's eyes. He gave Ye Linghan a comforting smile: "Don't worry, Regent. I'm fine and I'm not imagining anything."
Since he has decided not to give Ye Linghan to someone else, there is no need for him to be sentimental about this matter. He can be extra nice to Ye Linghan in the future to make up for this matter.
Ye Linghan naturally didn’t believe it: “Su Xing, do you think I’m so easy to fool? I saw your expression clearly just now.”
“What I said just now… wasn’t because of that incident…” Su Xing was hesitating whether to tell Ye Linghan.
"What's that?" Ye Linghan still felt that Su Xing was lying, and his tone was a little more oppressive than before.
“I just feel that…” Su Xing decided to keep it secret for now. After all, such evidence was not enough to prove anything, especially since Ye Linghan was still in trouble. “I feel a little sorry for Miss Luo Ling’er. She wanted to marry you so much…”
"You said you didn't have any random thoughts!" Ye Linghan glared at Su Xing unhappily. "She knew clearly that I had no interest in her, yet she still insisted on asking the princess to act as a matchmaker. I agreed to this marriage for the sake of profit, and she knows this very well."
The implication is that there is no need for Su Xing to sympathize with Luo Ling'er, as everyone should bear the consequences of their own choices.
Before Su Xing smelled that familiar scent, he did feel guilty towards Luo Ling'er. Now that Luo Ling'er is likely the mastermind behind his kidnapping, he certainly won't feel guilty anymore.
The reason why he said this was to perfunctorily appease Ye Linghan. After Ye Linghan finished speaking, he showed a relieved expression: "I understand what the Regent said. Don't worry, I won't think so anymore."
This was the first time Ye Linghan felt that Su Xing was so easy to persuade, and he always felt that something was wrong.
But he didn't have time to delve into it further because Liu Yan came.
"Your Majesty, something has happened..." Liu Yan had no time to salute and knelt directly in front of Ye Linghan with a serious expression.
Ye Linghan's eyes narrowed: "What's wrong?"
Su Xing's heart also began to lift, and he clenched his hands unconsciously.
"Reply to the Regent..." Liu Yan said in a serious tone, "The family members of those arrested adults have all come to the entrance of the Ministry of Justice to make trouble. They want the Ministry of Justice to release the arrested adults immediately."
Things are getting worse! Su Xing immediately became worried.
Although Ye Linghan did not get angry, his face became even gloomier, as if water would drip out at the next moment.
He was silent for a moment, then ordered in a cold voice: "Bring the person who led the trouble here!"
There must be someone who instigated this kind of thing, and it might be related to Marquis Mu Yuan.
We almost caught Mu Yuanhou last time, maybe this time is a chance...
Liu Yan seemed to have guessed Ye Linghan's intention. He did not dare to delay and immediately took the order and left.
"Su Xing, go back to your room first." Ye Linghan ordered Su Xing, who looked worried.
Su Xing looked at Ye Linghan deeply and said, "I don't want to leave. Let me stay here."
He had to know how things were going to develop now, otherwise he would be uneasy.
"No!" Ye Linghan's tone left no room for doubt: "You can't do anything here, why don't you go back and rest."
"I can't rest if I go back." Su Xing retorted hastily: "I want to stay with you, otherwise I will be worried."
After saying this, he looked at Ye Linghan with a pleading expression.
Ye Linghan felt distressed and helpless. After looking at Su Xing for a while, he had to compromise: "You lie on the couch and don't move."
In fact, he also hopes that Su Xing can be by his side, not having to do anything, but being able to make him feel at ease.
"Okay." Su Xing nodded quickly.
Liu Yan acted quickly. In just half an hour, he found the leader and brought him over.
The man was the son of a minister who held a low-ranking official position in the court and had little presence. He was very young, at most seventeen or eighteen years old, and still had a bit of childishness on his face.
Ye Linghan could tell at a glance that this man was being instructed by someone, and it was impossible for him to stir up such a big incident on his own.
Not only was he not angry, but he was in a good mood: "Who asked you to do this?"
The man turned pale with fear the moment he saw Ye Linghan. Even though he tried to remain calm, his shaking shoulders betrayed him.
Especially when he heard Ye Linghan's sudden questioning, his eyes widened immediately.
He looked at Ye Linghan in shock, and after a while he shook his head vigorously: "No one, it was... I wanted to do this myself..."
After saying this, he withdrew his gaze and dared not look Ye Linghan in the eye again.
Ye Linghan saw the panic in the man's eyes when he looked away, but he still did not get angry. He continued to ask slowly: "Yourself? Why?"
The man clenched his hands in fear and stammered, "To... to... save my... my father..."
"Do you think this will work?" Ye Linghan laughed sarcastically, "You should know why your father was arrested, right?"
The man was obviously very smart. He understood Ye Linghan's words and his body trembled violently.
But... that person promised that nothing would happen to him and that he would become famous because of it.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had the courage and gritted his teeth: "I know."
“Then do you think threats will work on me?” Ye Linghan’s tone suddenly darkened, revealing a strong sense of oppression: “Or did the person who ordered you to do so promise you that nothing would happen to you?”
The man was shocked that Ye Linghan actually knew what he was thinking. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Ye Linghan again, just in time to meet Ye Linghan's black eyes that seemed to be able to see through people.
A fear he had never experienced before suddenly surged up from the soles of his feet. His scalp immediately went numb and his body trembled uncontrollably!
He couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, and it was too late because he was completely exposed.
He regretted being seduced; he could not hide the truth from the terrifying regent.
Ye Linghan narrowed his eyes coldly, and his voice was full of temptation: "Tell the truth, and I can spare your life."
The man's psychological defenses collapsed instantly. Before he could say anything, tears came out first. He cried and choked: "I don't know his name, I just know where to find him..."
"Take me away." Ye Linghan glanced at Tianyi, and Tianyi immediately stepped forward and picked up the man who was about to faint.
Ye Linghan turned around and walked into the study.
Su Xing heard their conversation and said before Ye Linghan could speak: "Don't worry, Regent. I will stay well in the mansion."
