Chapter 224 A glimmer of hope
Su Xing's heart sank suddenly, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.
He finally realized what it meant to be powerless. He knew he should try his best to leave here, but his body was like a puddle of mud and he couldn't move even a finger.
He could only watch the knife with a cold glow falling towards him and could do nothing.
He was extremely desperate and at the same time extremely unwilling.
Why should he suffer such injustice? Why should he use his life to exchange for others' lives!
Why!
But no one would answer these questions for him, and even if someone answered them, he wouldn't be able to hear them because he was about to die...
Although Su Xing was unwilling, he could only close his eyes in despair. He really didn't have the courage to face it.
The moment he closed his eyes, Ye Linghan's figure suddenly appeared.
Su Xing's heart trembled violently, and an endless reluctance suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, along with hot tears.
They really are not destined to be together. Even at this time, they are forced to separate.
But he really couldn't bear to leave. He really liked Ye Linghan. They had finally been together and he really didn't want to separate.
Ye Linghan...Ye Linghan...Su Xing went from murmuring reluctantly to shouting in despair: "Ye Linghan!"
He originally just wanted to vent his anger, but he didn't expect that there would be a response: "Su Xing!"
The shout was rapid, and although still cold, one could hear the trembling in it if one listened carefully.
Su Xing opened his eyes suddenly and saw the door being kicked open. The next moment, Ye Linghan's tall figure rushed in.
Li Yuan's face changed drastically when he saw this, but instead of stopping, he stabbed Su Xing's neck even faster.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s too old and his hands and feet aren’t as nimble as before, or if Ye Linghan’s speed is too fast.
Before the knife touched Su Xing, Li Yuan was kicked away, as if he had become invisible, and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Su Xing didn't bother to look at Li Yuan's situation, his eyes were fixed on Ye Linghan: "Regent!"
Ye Linghan squatted down, held Su Xing's cheeks with both hands, turned Su Xing's head around, and touched him all over after checking.
Su Xing knew that Ye Linghan was checking whether he was injured or not. He was so excited and moved that he wanted to cry.
When Ye Linghan finished the examination and was about to pull him up, he finally couldn't hold back his tears and said, "I was drugged. I have no strength left and can't get up."
Ye Linghan was startled and stared at Su Xing's face again: "What medicine?"
"It's not poison!" Su Xing was afraid that Ye Linghan would worry, so he hurriedly explained: "It's just a drug. It will be fine after the effect wears off."
Ye Linghan's tense face relaxed visibly. Without saying a word, he simply picked up Su Xing and carried him up.
After he stood up, he slowly turned around, his eyes instantly becoming gloomy and cruel: "Come here, drag him out and beat him to death with sticks."
Tianyi was shocked. Li Yuan was the Grand Tutor after all. How could he just...
But he knew how angry Ye Linghan was at the moment and didn't dare to dissuade him.
But he was afraid that this would bring trouble to Ye Linghan, so he had to look at Su Xing secretly.
As he expected, Su Xing had already spoken out, "Prince Regent, calm down. This is not appropriate."
Li Yuan was not only the Grand Tutor, but also the most trusted person of the late emperor and the most influential official in the court.
Even if Li Yuan wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be beaten to death with sticks, not to mention that he hadn't succeeded yet.
If Ye Linghan really did that, he would definitely be criticized and even lose the support of the people.
"You still dare to plead for him?" Ye Linghan was almost mad with anger and had no time to think so much.
In fact, even if he thought about it, he would not change his mind. There is no need to keep anyone who dares to hurt Su Xing.
"I'm not begging for him." Su Xing explained anxiously, "I just don't want the Regent to be implicated."
He knew that Ye Linghan understood what he was saying, so there was no need to explain so much.
"I don't care." Ye Linghan glared at Su Xing fiercely and said in a deep voice.
"I care!" Su Xing's aura was even stronger than Ye Linghan's: "I don't want you to be talked about, and I don't want you to be disturbed by rumors."
"Please, Lord Regent, take back your decision!" Su Xing couldn't kneel down, so he could only hold Ye Linghan's collar tightly, looking at Ye Linghan pitifully with his red eyes.
Ye Linghan was almost pissed off by Su Xing, but he was also a little moved.
He stared at Su Xing for a moment with a sullen face, and suddenly said angrily: "Lock him up first."
After saying that, he carried Su Xing directly out the door.
After going out, Su Xing realized that he was actually locked up in a very grand mansion. The room he was in just now was just an insignificant room in the mansion.
He couldn't help but ask, "Prince Regent, whose mansion is this?"
Ye Linghan looked ahead and replied coldly, "Marquis Muyuan's Mansion."
"Marquis Mu Yuan's home!" Su Xing couldn't help but exclaim.
Li Yuan actually brought him here, no wonder he said Ye Linghan couldn't find him.
But Ye Linghan still found it, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
"Lord Regent, how did you know I was here?"
Ye Linghan still looked ahead, his expression was very irritable, but he still explained: "Li Yuan has done a lot of strange things in the past two days. His family members were worried and secretly followed him. When they found out that he had been here, I threatened to punish all nine generations of his family, and they confessed."
As Su Xing listened, he thought to himself that it was a close call.
If it weren't for this coincidence, even if Ye Linghan could find him, he would probably have become a corpse.
It seems that God has been kind to him and left him a glimmer of hope.
He silently said something gratefully, then looked at Ye Linghan again, his expression suddenly becoming serious: "Regent, Your Majesty, what's going on?"
Although he had no obligation to sacrifice his life for Ye Lingrui, he still felt a little guilty towards him.
If it wasn't his life, even an arm or a leg, he would give it without hesitation.
After all, he really felt sorry for Ye Lingrui and didn't want anything to happen to him.
Ye Linghan did not answer as quickly as he did just now. Instead, he paused for a while before saying, "There was no news when I left."
Su Xing's heart suddenly felt uncomfortable. Is there really no hope?
Can God show his power again and save Ye Lingrui?
He is still a child. Being born into a royal family has made life hard.
It’s really tragic to meet such a cruel mother again.
How could he be allowed to die like this?
Su Xing's sudden silence finally made Ye Linghan lower his head. He stared at Su Xing's face full of sympathy and sadness with displeasure, and said coldly: "Everyone has his destiny. Don't take everything on yourself. You are not that great."
Su Xing slowly raised his head, and when he saw the worry in Ye Linghan's eyes, he felt even more uncomfortable.
He didn't argue like before, but nodded silently: "I know."
Then, he leaned his head on Ye Linghan's chest, and the moment he closed his eyes, tears flowed uncontrollably.
