Chapter 252 Good things are coming
Wu Xiao's handwritten letter caused an uproar in the Wu Kingdom.
The letter clearly stated that he was not captured, but was injured and rescued by Ye Guo.
Not only should the State of Wu not have sent troops, but it should have been grateful to the State of Ye.
The third prince of Wu Kingdom became anxious instantly. He thought Wu Xiao was dead, so he used this as an excuse to send troops to Ye Kingdom.
He originally wanted to prove his ability by defeating Ye Linghan, so as to become the new crown prince of Wu.
After all, he was able to win the palace fight by using despicable and shameful means, and the old emperor and others were unaware of it. He had to do something more to prove his ability.
Now, he lost his reason to attack the Ye Kingdom, and he also lost his chance to become the new crown prince.
But he had been planning for this for so long, even colluding with Marquis Mu Yuan, how could he just give up like that?
So his heart sank, and he decided to follow his plan again from last time, just killing the old emperor and taking his place!
This way, he won't have to worry so much and can do whatever he wants in the future.
But what he didn't know was that before his plan even started, Shadow Yi, who was hiding in the dark, passed the message to Ye Linghan.
After reading the message, Ye Linghan sneered and told Wu Xiao the news.
"This beast!" Wu Xiao was so angry that he sat up from the bed, threw off the quilt and was about to get out of bed: "I'm going back to kill him!"
Su Xing hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, your body is not yet able to travel long distances!"
Ye Linghan stepped forward without knowing when, and pulled back Su Xing's hand that was about to touch Wu Xiao, blocking Wu Xiao, and said coldly: "Your Highness, what do you think you can do now?"
Wu Xiao's body stiffened, and his excited emotions suddenly calmed down.
He was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head to look at Ye Linghan, and said meaningfully: "Regent, it seems we need to talk again."
Ye Linghan snorted coldly: "Do you have the qualifications?"
Wu Xiao was slightly startled, but soon recovered: "As long as the Regent can keep my father safe, I am willing to form an eternal alliance with the Night Kingdom."
Not only was Ye Linghan unmoved, he glanced at Wu Xiao with disdain without saying a word.
Wu Xiao's expression remained unchanged, but his cheeks moved.
He finally lost his temper and asked helplessly: "What will it take for the Regent to help me?"
Ye Linghan then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and said coldly: "I want ten cities from your Wu Kingdom."
Wu Xiaojun's face twitched, and the cunning in his eyes instantly turned into anger, but it disappeared in a flash.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!"
Su Xing felt mixed emotions as he watched from the side. He felt helpless about Ye Linghan's tyranny and shamelessness, but also sympathetic towards Wu Xiao's misfortune.
At this moment, he felt a pair of eyes full of strong dissatisfaction staring at him.
Su Xing immediately shrank his neck and looked at Ye Linghan guiltily.
Ye Linghan glared at Su Xing fiercely and walked away.
Su Xing originally wanted to comfort Wu Xiao, but Wu Xiao obviously didn't want to be disturbed at the moment, so he had to turn around and leave quietly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I saw Ye Lingchen walking towards me with big strides.
"Su Xing." Ye Lingchen shouted happily before Su Xing could speak.
"Your Highness." As soon as Su Xing saw Ye Lingchen's smiling face, the complicated emotions he had just felt disappeared immediately.
"Is there something good? Why is Your Highness so happy?"
Ye Lingchen pulled Su Xing over and walked out without saying anything: "Of course there is something good. Let's talk while drinking tea."
They did not walk far, but found a pavilion nearby to sit down. Before they could say anything, the servants in the mansion had already served them hot tea.
Ye Lingchen sent the servant away, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked with a sly smile, "Su Xing, have you and the emperor reconciled?"
Su Xing had not expected Ye Lingchen to bring this up, and immediately lowered his head to drink his tea in embarrassment, then said vaguely: "Well, that's about right."
They have slept together for several nights. Although some things have not been made clear, wouldn’t it be too hypocritical to deny it?
Ye Lingchen laughed happily: "I knew you were amazing, Su Xing. You are worthy of being me."
Su Xing wanted to dig a hole and bury himself, it was really too embarrassing.
Ye Lingchen continued to talk: "No wonder the people in the Ministry of Rites have been so busy lately, choosing dates and buying things."
Su Xing was stunned and raised his head suddenly: "Ministry of Rites? What do you mean?"
Why did Ye Lingchen suddenly bring up the Ministry of Rites? What does that have to do with him and Ye Linghan?
This time it was Ye Lingchen's turn to be stunned. He blinked his eyes for a while before saying, "Su Xing, you don't know yet?"
Su Xing was even more confused: "What do I want to know?"
Ye Lingchen suddenly burst into laughter: "Royal brother really is..."
Su Xing was getting more and more confused, and couldn't help asking, "What happened? Your Highness, can you tell me?"
Ye Lingchen pointed at Su Xing and laughed for a long time before calming down. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Su Xing, congratulations. You are finally getting your name right."
Su Xing: ······
"You still don't understand?" Ye Lingchen looked at Su Xing in disbelief.
Su Xing was really anxious, and urged: "Your Highness, please stop keeping us in suspense and tell me quickly."
Ye Lingchen shook his head helplessly: "Su Xing, where is your usual intelligence?"
He glared at Su Xing with pretended disdain: "The Ministry of Rites usually does this for the emperor or the prince's wedding. Now the emperor is young, and the prince is even less likely to do so. So it can only be my brother."
Su Xing's whole body trembled, his eyes suddenly opened wide, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
My body seemed to have grown wings and flew up lightly, even my head felt dizzy.
Ye Linghan really wants to be with him...
But this feeling only lasted for a moment, and he stared straight at Ye Lingchen as if he had suddenly woken up from a beautiful dream.
Ye Lingchen was startled by Su Xing's look and asked nervously, "Su Xing, what's wrong with you?"
"Your Highness, aren't you also a prince?" Su Xing said anxiously, "Maybe the Ministry of Rites is busy with your marriage."
After all, Ye Linghan had never mentioned this to him. It was impossible that he hadn't been told about this in advance, right?
He was going to get married, but he didn't even know about it?
Is this reasonable?
Ye Lingchen was quite certain: "No, it definitely wasn't me."
"Su Xing, you know this." Ye Lingchen sighed as he spoke, "My royal brother is so unreasonable. He said he doesn't agree with my marriage, so he won't change his mind. Sigh, when I talk about this, I feel so sorry for Yue Cen."
Now it seems that if he wants to be with Yue Cen, he may really have to force Yue Cen to marry him.
Su Xing didn't mean to bring up this matter. He felt uncomfortable when he saw Ye Lingchen sighing.
After all, the culprit who made Ye Lingchen unhappy was his man. As a family member, he felt very sorry for Ye Lingchen.
In a hurry, he said impulsively: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will help you with this matter!"
