Chapter 223 Ridiculous and Funny
Su Xing woke up from a daze, his mind was fuzzy and he was unconscious for a long time.
Where is this?
The furnishings in the house looked quite grand, but it looked unfamiliar because he had never been there.
Why is he here? Isn’t he going to the palace to see Ye Lingrui!
Su Xing sat up suddenly, but fell down again weakly halfway through.
What's going on? Why is he so weak?
Su Xing's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and a chill instantly surged up from the bottom of his heart.
Having been kidnapped several times, this feeling is all too familiar!
But who wants to kidnap him? And what about the Grand Tutor?
Is he okay?
Su Xing looked at the room again. His eyes were no longer confused like before, but full of defense.
But he still had no clue, so he simply shouted at the door: "Someone! Is there anyone here?"
The door opened in response, as if the person outside was waiting for his call at any time.
"Master Taifu!" Su Xing was relieved when he saw Li Yuan was intact. "What happened? Why are we here?"
Li Yuan did not speak, but looked at Su Xing with a complicated expression. There was helplessness, guilt, and determination to give up everything in his eyes.
Su Xing was stunned for a moment, and then he understood everything.
"Master Taifu intends to exchange my life for the Emperor's?" There was no fear in Su Xing's tone, only absurdity and ridiculousness, as well as a hint of anger.
The guilt on Li Yuan's face became more and more intense. He raised his foot and slowly walked towards Su Xing.
After walking in front of Su Xing, he suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down!
"Mr. Su." Li Yuan said excitedly: "I am sorry for you..."
He always remembered that Su Xing had held the Queen Mother hostage and threatened Marquis Mu Yuan for the sake of the Ye Kingdom. If it weren't for Su Xing, the Ye Kingdom would have been gone at that time.
He swore at that time that he would repay Su Xing's kindness in the future.
But unexpectedly, he would actually kill Su Xing with his own hands.
How can he not feel guilty? How to not blame yourself?
Su Xingcai didn't care about Li Yuan's confession. No matter how legitimate your reasons were, killing was killing.
As the victim, it is impossible for me to forgive you just because you say sorry.
"Master Grand Tutor, please stop acting so hypocritically. I can't stand it!" Su Xing said with a cold face, his tone full of sarcasm and contempt.
Li Yuan did not respond, but continued to kneel on the ground without moving, like a sinner for all eternity.
Su Xing became even angrier. He had already done such bad things, so what was the point of acting like this now?
He spoke again, and his voice was threatening: "Don't think that you can change anything by doing this. You should know what kind of person the Queen Mother is. Do you think that if you kill me, she will be honest from now on?"
"This time it's the Emperor's order, what about next time?" Su Xing became angrier and angrier as he spoke: "Do you compromise every time? Then what's the difference between you and Marquis Mu Yuan who was used by her?"
Perhaps these words touched Li Yuan's heart, or perhaps he had never thought about it.
His whole body trembled, and his face trembled, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.
But after a while, his expression returned to the same as before: "Mr. Su is right, but I can only take care of the present. As for the future, I will be serving the late emperor in the underworld by then, so I can't take care of it..."
Su Xing was shocked. What did Li Yuan mean?
Why does it sound like he won't live long?
Su Xing was still hesitating whether to ask, but Li Yuan took the initiative to say, "Master Su, I know I can never repay you in this lifetime, so I will go with you. When we are in the underworld, I will confess to you."
Su Xing was stunned when he heard that. Li Yuan actually wanted to die with him?
He was so angry that he almost burst into cursing: Damn it, you're already dead, what's the point of saying such things?
But he understood that it was difficult to explain to someone like Li Yuan who was deeply brainwashed by feudal society.
He could only try to delay Li Yuan as long as possible until Ye Linghan noticed something was wrong and came to rescue him.
Unexpectedly, before he could figure out how to delay, Li Yuan suddenly stood up from the ground.
A hint of ruthlessness suddenly appeared on his old face filled with guilt, and he turned and walked to a table.
There was a wine jug and two wine glasses on the table.
He picked up the wine jug without hesitation, poured wine into two cups, then turned around and walked back with a cup in each hand.
Su Xing knew without asking that it was poisoned wine.
It was so absurd that he found it more and more ridiculous, and at the same time he felt deeply helpless and sad.
Did he just die like that?
Did he die at the hands of Li Yuan, whom he had never expected, or did he die of poisoning?
"Mr. Su." Li Yuan handed one of the cups to Su Xing and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry."
Su Xing wanted to curse, but was interrupted by Li Yuan: "Don't worry, Master Su, I have already explained everything. Lord Su and his wife will be carefully taken care of, and Lord Su's career will also be smooth sailing."
fart! Su Xing couldn't help but curse in his heart.
Now that he is gone, how can his parents be any better off?
What’s the point of his father having a career in politics?
But he didn't want to provoke Li Yuan, as that would be of no help in saving himself.
He took a deep breath, then smiled bitterly: "Master Taifu is really thoughtful. Has Master Taifu considered the regent?"
Li Yuan was obviously stunned for a moment, but did not say anything.
"Master Taifu should know the relationship between me and the Regent..." Su Xing looked at Li Yuan with a sad face: "It's not that I'm self-righteous, the Regent really cares about me. You can see it from this incident. He would rather give up Ye Lingrui than exchange me."
At this point, Su Xing's heart trembled violently, as if it was stabbed by a knife.
"If the Master really kills me, do you think the Regent will let your family go?"
After the words fell, Li Yuan really fell into deep thought, but soon he gave an answer: "I have thought about this matter and told my family about it. Whether they can escape this disaster depends on their luck."
madman! What a madman! Su Xing couldn't help but curse in his heart.
For the so-called loyalty, they would disregard everything, even the lives of their own family members!
"Master Su." Li Yuan handed the wine glass to Su Xing again: "I know you want to delay time, but it's useless. No one can find us here because no one would think we are here."
Su Xing was shocked and panicked when his thoughts were exposed.
But even so, he wouldn't be stupid enough to drink the poisoned wine.
He stared at the wine glass for a moment, then suddenly raised his hand and waved it, cursing: "I won't drink this wine. If you miss, die by yourself, don't drag me down with you!"
As he said this, he desperately got up from the ground and ran towards the door.
But he had been drugged after all, and it took him all his strength just to get up from the ground. He took just one step before his body went limp and he fell to the ground again.
He was unwilling to give up and continued to crawl forward, but was soon blocked by a pair of feet.
"Master Su." Li Yuan's voice came from above, gloomy and dangerous: "I didn't want you to go in pain, but you..."
Su Xing heard a heavy sigh, followed by the sound of a sword being drawn.
