Chapter 22 Nothing to Say
Ye Lingrui was so frightened that his body trembled, and tears were about to fall but he forced himself to hold them back.
"Prince Regent!" Xia Yunxi hurried forward to explain: "It was me who wanted to come. Prince Regent, please don't blame the emperor. The emperor said that for me. This is also a filial piety of the emperor!"
"Please, Prince Regent, for the sake of the emperor's filial piety, stop blaming him..."
After the words fell, Xia Yunxi's beautiful eyes instantly welled up with sad tears, and coupled with the pleading tone, anyone who saw it could not help but be moved...
But Ye Linghan was a heartless man and did not react at all.
"Filial piety? Is filial piety enough for an emperor?" Ye Linghan said with disdain.
Xia Yunxi was stunned. She didn't expect Ye Linghan to be so aggressive.
The beautiful face wet with tears instantly showed unbearableness, but this was nothing. What made her more unbearable was the feeling in her heart at the moment...
Xia Yunxi fell silent, but her tears continued.
After a long while, she suddenly looked deeply at Ye Linghan and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Linghan, do you really have to be like this?"
Ye Linghan's brows suddenly frowned, and at that moment something flashed in his deep eyes, but quickly disappeared.
After a while, he said coldly: "This is the last time, it won't happen again."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but at the moment of turning around, he threw down another sentence: "Queen Mother, please respect yourself. I don't want to hear such a name again."
Xia Yunxi's body trembled, and she took a step back uncontrollably.
She stared at Ye Linghan as he left, and her expression did not change until Ye Linghan's figure disappeared.
It was unknown how long it took before she withdrew her gaze. She then took a deep breath, and her face, which had just been tearful, instantly regained its former noble beauty.
"Mother..." Ye Lingrui couldn't hold back his tears any longer. He cried and threw himself into Xia Yunxi's arms, asking sadly, "Will I never be able to be with you again?"
Xia Yunxi bent over and hugged her son distressedly, patting Ye Lingrui on the back and comforting him softly: "No, don't worry."
From now on we can always be together, and it won't just be the two of us...
It took Su Xing three full hours to finish examining the other three bodies. In fact, this was already considered easy. If it were in his previous world, there would be more items to examine and it would be hard to say how long he would have to stay busy.
However, because of this, the results of the autopsy were limited. It only confirmed that the cause of their death was indeed a knife wound in the chest, and there were no other results.
But Su Xing did not regret it. Instead, he felt relieved because he insisted on doing the dissection.
Tian Er had been standing by quietly, watching Su Xing skillfully dissect the body, examine it carefully, and finally suture it carefully. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water.
Ignoring the bloody scene, he actually thought it was very exciting and couldn't help but stare at it in amazement...
Is this still the same stupid young man he captured from the Minister of Revenue’s residence?
If they didn't look the same, he really wouldn't believe it was the same person.
No wonder the master is so tolerant of him, this guy really has some skills...
However, I have met capable people before, but my master doesn’t seem to be so patient...
Thinking of this, Tian Er couldn't help but turn his gaze from Su Xing's hand to Su Xing's face.
It's rare for a man to have such delicate skin and tender flesh.
His facial features are not bad, he looks like a handsome man, standing next to his master...
Pooh! What is he thinking!
Tian Er quickly retracted his thoughts and happened to see Su Xing turn around: "Guard Tian Er, I'm ready now. Are we going back to the Regent's Palace directly?"
As he spoke, Su Xing noticed the weirdness in Tian Er's eyes and was stunned.
Tian Er hurriedly turned his head away, and after a moment he turned back and said, "Then let's go back. The Regent should have returned home by now."
"Okay." Su Xing stretched his aching body and walked towards the door.
When we returned to the palace, it was already dark.
Although there were many lights on in the palace, the road was still not clear.
Tian Er seemed to have X-ray vision and was completely unaffected, moving freely in the dim palace.
Su Xing was afraid of getting lost, so he used all his strength to barely keep up.
I've been busy all afternoon and haven't had dinner yet. Now I've jogged five kilometers and I'm almost exhausted.
Fortunately, he had strong willpower and finally reached the study door before fainting.
Ye Linghan is in the study again?
Su Xing stared at the door of the study in a daze. How much does this guy love working? Why are you in the study from morning till night?
While Su Xing was in a daze, Tian Er had already entered the room and was reporting the situation to Ye Linghan.
Su Xing was startled and hurried in.
"Greetings, Lord Regent." Su Xing bowed politely, then lowered his head and waited for Ye Linghan's response.
"What did the test reveal?" Ye Linghan's voice came after a long while. In addition to his usual coldness, there was also a hint of sarcasm.
Su Xing silently told himself not to get angry and not to bother with Ye Linghan, and then he replied slowly, "Reporting to the Regent, the cause of death of the other three has been determined, and it is consistent with the initial speculation. The murderer..."
"So nothing was found?" Ye Linghan interrupted Su Xing impatiently, the sarcasm in his tone becoming more obvious.
"Regent, this matter..." Su Xing wanted to explain himself, but when he thought of the consequences of doing so, he held back.
But he was very unconvinced. What do you mean nothing was found?
How do you know there is no problem without testing?
He used to think Ye Linghan was powerful, but now it seems that he is as arrogant as Chen Lin!
Forget it, what else can he say to such a person?
He nodded angrily: "Yes, I didn't find anything."
These words sounded a bit angry, and Tianyi and Tianer who were standing beside them were startled, fearing that Ye Linghan would lose his temper.
But Ye Linghan not only did not get angry, he even curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, as if he had just won a game.
Tianyi and Tianer were stunned. They both thought they had seen it wrong. They turned their heads to look at each other subconsciously, but they saw the look of seeing a ghost in each other's eyes...
Su Xing kept his head down and did not notice this scene.
But even if he saw it, he would only get angrier because he felt that Ye Linghan was laughing at him.
The study was silent for a while, until Ye Linghan spoke again: "There is news from Liu Yan. A suspicious letter was found in Marquis Mu Yuan's mansion."
Su Xing looked up immediately when he heard this, because he was very concerned about the case.
"Have you seen Liang's handwriting?" Ye Linghan asked Su Xing.
Su Xing was stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought for a while, then said hurriedly: "I have seen it!"
"Come here." Ye Linghan ordered calmly.
Su Xing was thinking about the case, so he ran over. Just as he was about to ask where the letter was, he was interrupted by a "gurgling" sound...
Su Xing was shocked, then he looked down at his stomach.
His stomach seemed to sense the owner's attention and immediately made a louder sound: gurgle gurgle...
