Chapter 211: Poisoning Continues
As soon as the words fell, there was silence.
Su Xing's breathing stagnated and he looked at Ye Linghan in disbelief. An endless stream of emotions suddenly surged in his heart, filling his entire chest.
Ye Linghan glared at Liu Yan unhappily, and Liu Yan was so scared that he immediately lowered his head, not daring to move.
"Prince Regent." Su Xing's tone was much gentler than before, and there was a hint of apology: "I'm fine, don't worry."
Ye Linghan felt much better after seeing Su Xing's change, but at the same time he felt very embarrassed, so he replied unhappily: "I am not worried, don't be so self-indulgent!"
Su Xingcai didn't believe it, but because he had misunderstood Ye Linghan first, he didn't dwell on the topic any further. Instead, he cautiously requested, "Investigating a case can't be delayed, otherwise many clues will be easily overlooked. Please give me some more time, Lord Regent."
Ye Linghan couldn't bear to see Su Xing's pitiful look, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"It's up to you!" Ye Linghan couldn't agree properly due to his face.
But Su Xing didn't care, instead he smiled happily: "Thank you, Regent."
At the same time, he seemed to know how to communicate with Ye Linghan. He couldn't use force, so he had to use soft tactics...
Liu Yan was terrified as he listened to this, and felt both admiration and sympathy for Su Xing.
Not only did he have to endure the regent's sarcasm and mood swings, but he also had to explain and plead patiently. This was not something that most people could do.
Su Xing didn't know that his image had become much taller at this moment. His mind was full of thoughts about where to start and how to find out the truth about Ye Lingrui's poisoning as soon as possible.
All the food, drinks, clothes and daily necessities were checked, even every corner of the bedroom was checked, but nothing was abnormal. This was too strange.
He firmly believed that as long as the murderer had done it, there would definitely be traces left, no matter how cunning and clever the murderer was.
Su Xing continued to stroll around the bedroom unwillingly, looking around and thinking with a frown.
Another hour passed, and he still had no results.
Ye Linghan had once again reached his limit of endurance and suddenly walked towards Su Xing.
Su Xing was so focused on his thinking that he didn't hear the footsteps, but the moment Ye Linghan walked up to him, a few words suddenly rang in his mind.
When he was in college, a very famous professor once said that finding nothing was not necessarily a bad thing. It just showed that the direction of the investigation was wrong and should be adjusted in time.
Ye Linghan wanted to interrupt Su Xing, but when he saw Su Xing's eyes suddenly light up, he was slightly startled and swallowed his words.
Su Xing’s mind was working rapidly. How should he adjust the direction?
Ye Lingrui was indeed poisoned, so someone must have poisoned him, but this direction is wrong...
Could it be that...Su Xing suddenly opened his eyes wide, and the next moment he looked everywhere for Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan knew at a glance that Su Xing was looking for him, but he was right next to him and Su Xing actually turned his head in the opposite direction.
How stupid!
Ye Linghan said unhappily: "The King is here."
Su Xing paused and immediately turned behind him.
He simply ignored the disgust on Ye Linghan's face and said excitedly: "Prince Regent, I suspect that the emperor was not poisoned this time, but a continuation of the last poisoning!"
Ye Linghan was prepared to hear an unexpected answer, but he was still surprised.
Although nothing could be seen on his handsome face which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, he stared at Su Xing silently for a moment.
"Where did you come to that conclusion?"
Su Xing spoke calmly: "From what happened before, the Queen Mother is thoughtful and careful. She probably thought of today when she poisoned the Emperor for the first time."
This sounds possible, but it is too associative and not convincing enough.
Su Xing also understood this and continued to explain, "After the emperor was poisoned last time, the regent replaced all the people who served the emperor with reliable ones. In addition, given the current situation of Marquis Mu Yuan and the queen mother, it is impossible for anyone to risk poisoning the emperor again. Moreover, Lord Liu has already interrogated them all and found nothing unusual."
As the words fell, Ye Linghan's expression gradually changed, from cold to frowning in thought.
Liu Yan nodded repeatedly. Before Ye Linghan could speak, he could not help but reply, "What Master Su said is very likely. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find no clues that the emperor was poisoned."
Su Xing saw that Liu Yan and he were thinking the same thing, and he immediately felt like he had met a bosom friend: "Master Liu is right, I also made this inference based on this point."
Liu Yan was extremely happy about Su Xing's response. He had doubted his abilities for some time and felt that he was not worthy of the position of Minister of Justice.
Su Xing's words made him regain his confidence. He was very grateful and was about to say something to Su Xing when he suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing beside him.
Ye Linghan glanced at Liu Yan coldly before looking at Su Xing: "What are your plans next?"
Su Xing had already thought of a solution: "Replying to the Regent, I think we should go directly to the Queen Mother to ask."
If it is really related to the last poisoning, Xia Yunxi will definitely know how to solve it.
And Xia Yunxi would not stand by and watch him die. After all, she could only live if the emperor was alive.
Ye Linghan objected to Su Xing's proposal: "It's not necessary."
Su Xing was surprised and asked in confusion: "Why?"
This is the only clue right now, but Ye Linghan doesn’t even use it. Does he not believe his inference?
"If it's really her, we shouldn't be the ones who are anxious." Ye Linghan knew from Su Xing's expression that he was just imagining things again. Although he was unhappy, he still patiently explained: "Just spread the news that the emperor was poisoned."
Su Xing was shocked again. It turned out that Ye Linghan thought so.
I have to say, this is indeed much better than his method, otherwise they will become passive if they are too proactive.
Xia Yunxi is so smart, she will definitely take the opportunity to ask for a high price.
"The Regent is wise." Su Xing praised sincerely: "This is much better than my method."
Ye Linghan stared at Su Xing meaningfully for a moment, then suddenly turned his head slightly, his eyes instantly becoming cold and ruthless: "Master Liu, why are you still standing there?"
The unfortunate Liu Yan quickly bent down and replied in fear and trepidation: "I will arrange it right away."
Su Xing looked at Liu Yan's back as he hurriedly left, and felt extremely sympathetic.
It's really hard for Lord Liu. At his age, he is still tortured by Ye Linghan every day. He really can't stand it.
If possible, he really wanted to change Ye Linghan's bad temper. Could he be nicer to his subordinates?
If he continues like this, he will lose the support of the people sooner or later, and Ye Linghan will be the one who suffers in the end.
Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Ye Linghan, and at the same time he was wondering in his heart, how can he change Ye Linghan?
Ye Linghan's patience had already reached its limit. When he saw Su Xing turning his head, he immediately shouted, "Go back home!"
