Chapter 35 Gift Giving
Hearing the words "King Ning", Su Xing immediately thought of Ye Linghan's words. He quickly turned his head to look at the door, then looked back at Ye Linghan, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.
He really didn't want to see such a horrible thing happen, not only because of his innate sense of justice, but also for other reasons.
He didn't want Ye Linghan to do that, because doing such a thing would bring retribution.
As for why he didn't want Ye Linghan to suffer retribution, he didn't know either.
Ye Linghan originally hated Su Xing's self-righteous but actually stupid and childish behavior, but when he saw the pleading look in Su Xing's eyes, his chest actually twitched for a moment.
He didn't know what it was, let alone what it meant.
At the same time, that feeling of being out of control came back.
He was very unhappy, and immediately turned his gaze to the guard outside the door and ordered: "Let him in."
Su Xing's heart suddenly sank!
what to do?
Ye Linghan wouldn't want to capture King Ning now, right?
Prince Ning is so unlucky that he has to offer himself to the door at this time.
Just when Su Xing was extremely worried, a handsome and elegant man walked into the study.
As soon as he saw Ye Linghan, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Regent."
The handsome man's voice is also very pleasant, gentle and polite, neither too high nor too low, neither too fast nor too slow, which makes people can't help but like him.
Su Xing had seen such people in novels and on TV, but this was the first time he saw one in person. He couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Ye Lingchen felt Su Xing's gaze, looked up, and smiled gently: "Whose son is this? He is so handsome. How come I have never seen him before?"
Su Xing was caught off guard by the praise and his face turned red.
He quickly bent down and said anxiously, "Greetings to Your Highness Prince Ning. My name is Su Xing, and I am the son of the Minister of Revenue."
"Oh?" Ye Lingchen frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered something. He took another close look at Su Xing and smiled even brighter: "So it's Master Su. I've heard of you..."
The last few words Ye Lingchen said were quite meaningful. The sensitive Su Xing caught it and immediately understood why Ye Lingchen said that.
He was extremely embarrassed. It was really embarrassing for such a handsome man to know such a reputation, but he couldn't explain it...
Su Xing didn't respond, but just smiled with a complicated expression.
I guess King Ning will change his expression and look at him soon...
Unexpectedly, Prince Ning became even more enthusiastic: "Mr. Su is really a handsome man. I feel like we are old friends at first sight. When you are free, I want to have a drink with you. How about it?"
Su Xing was stunned. Ye Lingchen didn't dislike him? And invited him to drink?
What's going on?
He stared blankly at Ye Lingchen for a moment, making sure that there was no discrimination or teasing in Ye Lingchen's eyes, only enthusiasm and sincerity.
Did Ye Lingchen sincerely invite him?
A warm current suddenly surged into Su Xing's heart...
He really didn't expect that after coming into this world, this was the first time someone looked at him without tinted glasses, and the person was such a noble person. It was really great.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ning, for the invitation." Su Xing nodded happily: "I am very willing to do so."
Because he was so happy, he even temporarily forgot about the argument he had with Ye Linghan just now, and just stared at Ye Lingchen and smiled foolishly.
Ye Lingchen was also very happy and said cheerfully: "Okay, the king will be free tomorrow, then..."
Halfway through his words, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted in the study, and Ye Lingchen stopped talking instantly.
Su Xing was also startled, and then they both turned their heads towards the source of the terrifying aura.
The moment they saw Ye Linghan, they both froze.
Ye Lingchen was fine, and soon recovered as usual. He smiled awkwardly at Ye Linghan and said, "Prince Regent, please calm down. I haven't met someone I can talk to so well in a long time. I was impolite for a moment, haha."
Su Xing was not so calm. He clutched the corner of his clothes tightly with both hands and apologized in a trembling voice: "Please forgive me, Regent. I know I was wrong..."
He didn't know how to scold himself anymore. Why was he acting like a fool? What kind of occasion was this? Why was he so confused?
Ye Linghan's sharp eyes swept over the two of them, especially Su Xing.
But in the end, it fell on Prince Ning, who asked coldly: "Why did you return to the imperial city?"
"Reply to the Regent." Prince Ning replied with a fake smile: "It's been a long time since we last met, and I miss you very much. I haven't returned home yet, so I came to pay my respects to you, my brother."
"Oh, right." Prince Ning seemed to have just remembered something and smiled mysteriously: "I also brought a gift for my brother."
After saying that, he turned around and waved outside: "Bring in the gifts I brought."
As soon as he finished speaking, two guards came in slowly carrying a large wooden box.
The box seemed very heavy, so the two guards walked very slowly. By the time they put the box down, their faces had turned red.
Ye Linghan was not interested in gifts at all. He just took a look and said impatiently, "Don't do such useless things in the future. I don't need them."
Su Xing was once again shocked by Ye Linghan's rudeness. Especially since he had a very good impression of Ye Lingchen, he was even more speechless about Ye Linghan's behavior at this moment.
What kind of person is this? Someone kindly brings you a gift, what's your attitude?
But he could only feel sorry for Ye Lingchen in his heart and dared not say a word.
Ye Lingchen seemed to have gotten used to it. Not only did he not feel embarrassed, he even said in a seductive tone, "Brother, this gift is carefully selected by me. I guarantee you will need it."
Ye Linghan didn't like Ye Lingchen's carefree personality, especially today, the more he looked at him, the more he disliked him.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Ye Linghan said irritably, "Take your things and go back to your house!"
Su Xing almost rushed forward to teach Ye Linghan a lesson. Is that possible?
If you don't like it, it's fine, but why are you scolding me?
Ye Lingchen, however, was like a dog-skin plaster. Even though Ye Linghan's words were so harsh, he still had a smile on his face: "Royal brother, just believe me for once. You will definitely like this gift. Otherwise, I will take off my head and use it as a stool for you to sit on!"
Having said that, Ye Linghan also sensed something was wrong.
According to his understanding, Ye Lingchen is not the kind of person who would pester someone so much, especially for a gift...
Ye Linghan looked at Ye Lingchen deeply and changed his mind: "Open it."
Two guards had been waiting by the box, and immediately replied, "Yes!"
With a "click!", the copper lock on the box was opened, followed by the lid of the wooden box.
Everyone turned their eyes to the box. When they saw what was inside the box, Ye Linghan and Su Xing were slightly stunned.
There was a person in the box!
The man was tied up and lying in a box, barely breathing. It seemed like he would die at any moment...
