Chapter 34 Unable to Recognize
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linghan's expression was full of disgust.
He didn't even bother to answer, but just gave Su Xing a look that said "Do you think it will happen?" and let Su Xing experience it for himself.
The corners of Su Xing's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment.
But I was cursing in my heart, what’s so great about being feared by everyone? Isn't it because you are too difficult to get along with?
"But..." Ye Linghan's voice suddenly sounded, and his tone was unfathomable: "I will not kill him just because you were killed..."
This was a bit difficult to understand. Su Xing pondered for a while before he understood it and was immediately shocked.
So this is what it means...
Although he is Su Yuan's son, he is not a very noble person.
If he died, and the person who killed him had a strong background and would definitely find a reason to kill him in advance, even if Ye Linghan knew about it, he would not punish that person.
No wonder you say you are not afraid...
"Then there are people like this..." Su Xing grasped the key point instantly and asked anxiously: "How many are there in Ye Country?"
There are definitely not many people who dare to say such things. As long as we search among these people, we will definitely find Mu Yuanhou’s accomplice!
Ye Linghan did not answer, but frowned in thought, apparently screening people.
Su Xing didn't dare to disturb him and waited quietly by the side.
Not long after, Ye Linghan spoke up: "The Ye Kingdom has existed for more than a hundred years. In addition to the officials in the court, there are also royal relatives and some aristocratic families. The relationship is complicated..."
Su Xing looked at Ye Linghan in surprise. He didn't expect that Ye Linghan would say such a thing given his personality.
He also thought that Ye Linghan didn't care about these worldly matters at all, and would kill anyone who dared to disobey him.
He once again lamented that it was not easy for Ye Linghan to be the regent. It was not enough to just lead troops in battle. Governing a country meant balancing the forces of all parties. The difficulty involved could be imagined.
Hearing this, he had a strange impression of Ye Linghan...
"But..." Ye Linghan changed the subject: "There are no more than three people who dare to do such a thing."
He looked at Su Xing leisurely, opened his thin lips slightly, and read out three names in a cold voice: "Ning Wang Ye Lingchen, Taifu Li Yuan, and the eldest princess Ye Wan who was highly valued by the late emperor."
These three names echoed in Su Xing's ears like a warning bell, and his heart sank every time he heard a name.
Because he couldn't afford to offend any of them, but one of them wanted to kill him!
The fear of being on the verge of death surged up again, and he immediately shuddered in fear.
Ye Linghan saw Su Xing’s fear, and disgust appeared in his handsome eyes again.
Su Xing didn't care about his face at the moment. He just wanted to find out the person who wanted to kill him as soon as possible, otherwise he wouldn't be able to sleep.
He had heard that Prince Ning was a man who had no interest in power. He just liked traveling and was often not in the imperial city.
But this might just be an appearance. What if he has been secretly planning to usurp the throne?
After all, he is also a prince, and all princes yearn for the throne.
He didn't know much about Taifu Li Yuan. He only knew that the late emperor appointed him as the emperor's teacher before his death, asking him to teach and assist the emperor.
To be entrusted with the care of the late emperor before his death, this means that he must have trusted you deeply.
Maybe he would want to overthrow Ye Linghan because he was dissatisfied with Ye Linghan's hegemony, so as to help the emperor regain control of the court.
As for the eldest princess Ye Wan, he only knew that she was the elder sister of the late emperor, had a noble status, found a top scholar as her husband, and now had many children and grandchildren.
Is it necessary to struggle with such a life?
"Then..." Su Xing looked at Ye Linghan carefully and asked, "Who does the Regent think it will be?"
He felt that Ye Linghan might already have a candidate in mind. After all, no one knew the situation in Ye Country better than him.
Ye Linghan slowly raised his eyes and looked at Su Xing. His bottomless black eyes revealed an extremely dangerous aura, which made Su Xing's heart tremble!
He immediately felt that he had said the wrong thing. Although Ye Linghan allowed him to participate in the investigation, it did not mean that he could know everything, let alone secrets such as power struggles?
He's been strangled twice, why doesn't he learn his lesson?
Su Xing wished he could punch himself right there and then and faint immediately to resolve the crisis at the moment.
Unexpectedly, Ye Linghan actually answered: "Before there is clear evidence, everyone is equally suspicious. I would rather kill the wrong person than let anyone go."
Before Su Xing could be surprised that Ye Linghan would respond to him, he was frightened by the chill in Ye Linghan's words and shivered all over.
Would you rather kill someone by mistake than let him go?
This is too much. If the wrong person is killed, how unfair would that be? How sad is his family?
It's not just sad, but his family will probably be implicated from the beginning, right?
How could this be?
Su Xing could not accept this and could not help but retort: "Prince Regent, this is too unfair. If the killing was wrong, how pitiful would the person who was killed and his family be?"
"Pathetic?" Ye Linghan seemed to have heard something funny. After a cold smile, his handsome face suddenly darkened: "That can only be blamed on their bad luck. Moreover, as citizens of the Ye Kingdom, isn't it right for us to make some sacrifices for the Ye Kingdom?"
"Regent..." Su Xing could never have imagined that Ye Linghan could say such cold-blooded and shameless words. His blood immediately boiled and he was about to explode, but was glared back by Ye Linghan.
Su Xing's half-open lips suddenly froze and his face turned pale, but he was unwilling to accept the defeat, so his eyes were full of stubbornness.
Ye Linghan stared at Su Xing's childish eyes for a moment, then suddenly raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully: "Don't you want revenge? You almost died at the hands of one of them..."
Su Xing was stunned and blinked his bright eyes.
Without waiting for his response, Ye Linghan sneered again: "When that person wanted to kill you, he didn't think you were innocent..."
Su Xing's face was slightly stunned, the scene of being kidnapped quickly flashed through his mind, and the stubbornness in his eyes instantly turned into horror.
But after a while, he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Even so, I won't follow others to kill innocent people!"
If he did that, then what was the difference between him and the murderer?
It is precisely because he almost died unjustly that he cannot let others go through the same thing.
Ye Linghan's voice suddenly turned cold, with a chilling chill in it: "Are you saying that I am killing innocent people?"
Su Xing was so frightened that his heart trembled, and then he felt afraid.
"That's not what I meant." He explained, suppressing his fear. However, because what he said was not the truth, his tone was a little stiff: "I just think that we should investigate it first before killing..."
Ye Linghan didn't say anything else, but just stared at Su Xing quietly. The expression on his handsome face was a little ambiguous, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Su Xing was extremely nervous and his heart was beating as fast as a drum.
But he did not regret it. He could never approve of Ye Linghan's actions, even if it would bring him death.
At this moment, the voice of the guard suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Regent, Prince Ning wants to see you!"
