Chapter 16: I can sleep while standing
It was late at night, but Ye Linghan's study was still brightly lit.
Su Xing reached out and rubbed his waist, which was a little sore from standing for a long time, and then secretly glanced at Ye Linghan who had been sitting at the desk without moving for two hours.
What a workaholic! He has been reading the documents in the carriage and he is still reading them after he comes back. When will he finish reading them?
You don't want to watch it all night?
What should he do then? Do I have to stand like this all night?
He is really almost dying of sleep, okay!
Complaints aside, he had to admit that Ye Linghan was truly a competent ruler. He was not like those foolish emperors in history books who only knew how to enjoy themselves all day long.
But what is Ye Linghan trying to achieve by doing this?
Although he is the actual ruler of the Ye Kingdom, he is only the regent in name. No matter how hard he works, it will be the emperor who will be recorded in history books in the future.
Does he love Ye Lingrui very much? Or is it that he cares about the people of Ye Country and doesn't want them to suffer?
Su Xing was shocked by his own speculation, because based on his current impression of Ye Linghan, both speculations were impossible.
How could someone as cold-blooded and heartless as Ye Linghan be so loving?
He even felt that Ye Linghan had no feelings at all and was extremely cruel even to himself.
This is probably the common characteristic of the princes who were born into the royal family and survived to the end...
Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't help but feel that Ye Linghan was a little pitiful.
I wonder how Ye Linghan spent his childhood?
What was it like when you went to the battlefield as a teenager?
As he was thinking, he actually fell asleep leaning against the wall...
When Tian Yi came in and saw Su Xing falling asleep while standing and sleeping very soundly, he was almost stunned and even forgot to salute Ye Linghan.
"How?" Ye Linghan's voice brought Tian back to his senses in an instant.
"Report to the Regent." Tianyi was panicked and quickly knelt down: "The other three ministers have all encountered strange events in the past six months. The Minister of Works took a concubine and disappeared recently. The Minister of Personnel was induced to become addicted to gambling and has already owed a huge debt in the gambling house. The Minister of Revenue is fine."
Tianyi suddenly glanced at Su Xing who was still sleeping soundly, and continued: "It's just that my subordinates have found out that those words that Mr. Su said at the dinner table a few days ago were deliberately provoked by someone. That person was someone Mr. Su met three months ago, and now his whereabouts are unknown."
Ye Linghan listened expressionlessly. When he heard about Su Xing's incident, he was stunned for a moment, and then a strange look flashed in his dark eyes.
If Su Xing's incident was also part of the murderer's conspiracy, it means that Su Xing had nothing to do with this matter, and the murderer wanted to bring down Su Yuan by framing Su Xing.
Ye Linghan couldn't help but look at Su Xing. His gaze paused for a moment, his expression seemed to have changed and yet seemed not to have changed.
"Continue the investigation." Ye Linghan ordered in a deep voice: "Don't let go of any clues."
"Yes!" Tianyi stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Ye Linghan suddenly called him.
"Please give your instructions, Regent." Tianyi bent down again.
"Put him on the couch over there." Ye Linghan pointed at Su Xing and said coldly.
Tianyi was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded: "Yes."
He walked towards Su Xing, ready to pick him up by the waist, but as soon as his hand touched Su Xing's clothes, he was interrupted by Ye Linghan: "No need, you can leave now."
Tian Yi was stunned again and glanced at Ye Linghan, but Ye Linghan didn't look at him. Instead, he lowered his head to read the memorials.
Although he was puzzled, he did not dare to ask, so he bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, I will take my leave."
Before leaving, he added in a low voice: "Your Majesty, go to bed early as well."
After the sound of the door closing, Ye Linghan raised his head and looked at the door first, then turned his gaze to Su Xing.
Su Xing was trying to adjust his posture because it was uncomfortable. He moved his head to the left, then to the right, but nothing felt right no matter how he moved it.
Finally, he simply lowered his head and stopped leaning against the wall. But maybe because his head was too heavy, his center of gravity was unstable after he lowered his head, and he was about to fall forward.
At this moment, Ye Linghan suddenly stepped forward quickly and blocked Su Xing's body.
To him, Su Xing's weight was nothing, but because the posture was too ambiguous, his body couldn't help but tense up.
He subconsciously wanted to push Su Xing away, but when he looked down and saw Su Xing's sleeping face, his hands stopped moving.
He slept so soundly that he probably didn't even know he was sold...
There was obvious disdain on Ye Linghan's cold and ruthless handsome face.
Su Xing seemed to have finally found a comfortable position. He sighed with satisfaction, then nudged his head into Ye Linghan's shoulder and slept even more soundly.
Ye Linghan was stunned for a moment, and then his whole face turned dark.
How dare he be so bold! Did he treat him as a pillow?
It was already noon the next day when Su Xing opened his eyes again, and he was awakened by hunger...
He stared blankly for a while, and it took him a long time to realize that this was the Regent's Palace.
He woke up instantly. When did he fall asleep?
Who put him in bed?
What happened last night?
He hurriedly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, hurriedly put on his shoes, quickly straightened his clothes and hair, and ran to the door.
He stopped just as he walked out of the door because he saw Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan was sitting at the table in the living room. There were quite a few dishes on the table, about seven or eight plates.
Hearing the noise, Ye Linghan slowly raised his head and glanced at Su Xing.
How can I describe that look? There was sarcasm, disgust, and a hint of amusement. The original coldness was much lighter.
Su Xing immediately lowered his head, shrank his neck, walked quickly to Ye Linghan, and knelt down respectfully: "Greetings, Regent."
It’s terrible, why does he sleep so soundly?
Ye Linghan must be very unhappy, right?
Will he be punished?
Su Xing's heart was in turmoil until he heard a voice saying, "No need to be polite."
Not angry?
"Thank you, Regent." As if he was afraid that Ye Linghan would go back on his word, he quickly stood up.
Ye Linghan had already retracted his gaze, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Su Xing was confused again. Won’t you say anything? Are you eating it already?
Ye Linghan didn't say anything, and Su Xing didn't dare to say anything either. He could only watch Ye Linghan eat quietly.
He was already hungry, and he became even hungrier when he saw the table full of food. Not only was his saliva flowing like crazy, but his stomach also kept contracting, reminding him that it was time to eat.
But this was in front of Ye Linghan, how could he dare?
In order to divert his attention, he had to shift his focus from the food to admiring Ye Linghan's eating manners.
After all, she is from a royal family, so she is so elegant even when eating, as beautiful as a painting.
Su Xing couldn't help but be fascinated by the sight. After all, people like to appreciate beautiful things.
"Have you seen enough?" Ye Linghan's voice suddenly rang out.
Su Xing's heart trembled, and he quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head: "I am rude, please forgive me, Regent."
ah!
What's wrong with him?
Why is it so embarrassing? Staring at men like a pervert!
Now, it’s even harder to explain why he loves Ye Linghan…
