Chapter 40 Too Abnormal
Su Xing didn’t know who Wu Xin was, and Cao Bao had no memory of this person, but he saw that the expressions of Ye Linghan and the others had changed.
Ye Linghan's reaction was not very obvious, only a slight surprise, and then his face became even gloomier.
Ye Lingchen and Tian Yi were both shocked, and besides being shocked, they also felt worried about the seriousness of the situation.
Su Xing was very curious, why did they react so strongly?
Who exactly is that Wuxin?
Is it amazing?
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely solemn, and no one spoke for a long time, until the man on the couch started coughing violently again.
Su Xing came back to his senses instantly and immediately went forward to check.
After a careful inspection, he said to Ye Linghan: "Regent, I'm afraid he's dying."
Ye Linghan glanced coldly, then looked at Tianyi.
Tianyi understood and immediately called two guards to carry the man out.
Su Xing silently watched the man being carried out, feeling very complicated.
After all, he is also a poor man.
"Brother..." Ye Lingchen suddenly said with a serious expression: "Now that things have come to this, can you tell me what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Linghan glanced over and examined Ye Lingchen, without saying anything for a long time.
Ye Lingchen smiled helplessly, then he lifted his clothes and knelt down: "Don't worry, my brother. I have no interest in the throne. I only hope to live a comfortable life under your protection. Of course, when my brother and the court need me, I will do my best to repay you."
From childhood to adulthood, he has seen too many dirty and bloody things, and every one of them is related to the desire for power.
He hated it so much that once he grew up he traveled around and tried to stay away from the fights as much as possible.
But he also knew that as a member of the royal family, others would not let you go just because you said you would give up.
Sometimes, your very existence is a hindrance to others.
He hasn't had enough fun yet and doesn't want to die young.
Being loyal to Ye Linghan is the best choice, not only because Ye Linghan is powerful, but more importantly, Ye Linghan is still a bit more humane than those people...
Su Xing was shocked by this scene. They were brothers who grew up together, but just because of their royal status, their brotherhood was distorted.
Besides being surprised, he also felt it was ridiculous and sad.
However, he felt that Ye Lingchen did not lie and was full of sincerity.
But he was an outsider after all, he didn't really understand and was not qualified to make a judgment, so he turned his gaze to Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan had been examining Ye Lingchen. Even when Ye Lingchen knelt before him, his cold and handsome face did not show the slightest bit of emotion.
After an unknown amount of time, he finally opened his thin lips and said, "Marquis Mu Yuan intends to rebel and has killed two ministers. Now he is hiding and his whereabouts are unknown."
In fact, Ye Lingchen had already guessed it roughly, but he was still shocked after hearing it with his own ears.
"From the current perspective, he should have accomplices who are in high positions..."
Ye Linghan briefly explained the situation, including that Su Xing was also a member of the investigation team.
Ye Lingchen just looked at Su Xing in surprise, and then started to discuss with Ye Linghan: "Royal brother, the killer just mentioned Wuxin, is it true..."
When Su Xing heard the word "Wuxin", he was alert and his ears immediately pricked up.
Ye Linghan nodded: "I originally suspected that the person who trained them was related to the imperial court, but I didn't expect it to be Wuxin."
Hearing this, Su Xing could no longer hold back, and he interrupted nervously: "Excuse me, who is that Wu Xin?"
After the words fell, several people looked at Su Xing at the same time. Su Xing's heart tightened and he couldn't help but regret his abruptness.
But Ye Linghan did not show any dissatisfaction, but said solemnly: "Wuxin was the most trusted secret guard of my father. He was supposed to be buried with my father after his death. I didn't expect..."
While speaking, Ye Linghan kept his brows furrowed, with a look of confusion and annoyance in his expression.
"It is impossible for someone like Wuxin to betray his master." Ye Lingchen added, his expression becoming as solemn as Ye Linghan's.
The royal secret guards are the most loyal. Each of them has his own secret guards, so this is very certain, especially the emperor's secret guards.
Su Xing understood. No wonder they reacted so strongly. This was indeed abnormal.
It is unbelievable that the late emperor's secret guards actually assisted the court's enemies in their fight against the court.
This time, even Ye Linghan was confused.
The room became extremely quiet again. Everyone was frowning in thought, as if they had encountered the most difficult problem ever.
After a long while, Su Xing's voice sounded cautiously: "Is it possible that he has a new owner?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several people turned their eyes to Su Xing again. Su Xing's heart suddenly started beating fast with nervousness, fearing that he had said something extremely treasonous.
Before Ye Linghan could respond, Ye Lingchen firmly denied it, "Impossible."
"It is impossible for the secret guards to change their masters. Even if they want to change their masters, the new masters may not trust them."
Su Xing pursed her red lips and tried to ask again: "What if it was the order of the previous master?"
Ye Lingchen denied it even faster than before: "Father would never give the secret guards to Marquis Mu Yuan."
This is unbelievable. What virtue and ability did Marquis Mu Yuan have to deserve such favor?
Su Xing also thought it was impossible, but he thought, what if? However, after being denied by Ye Lingchen, he also felt that the probability of this one chance was too small.
At this moment, Ye Linghan, who had not expressed his opinion, suddenly flashed a subtle light in his dark eyes: "It's impossible for Mu Yuanhou, but it's possible for others..."
The other people were slightly stunned, and then they all looked at Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan did not continue, but ordered Tianyi: "Let Yingyi check Wuxin's whereabouts."
Tianyi immediately accepted the order: "Yes!"
Marquis Mu Yuan lived a very comfortable life in the Xia Mansion. Although he could not show up in public and had to stay in the house all the time, it was much more comfortable than fleeing outside.
After he had eaten his fill and had a good sleep, he sat at his desk and wrote a letter.
The letter had no beginning, only a few brief sentences: Now is a critical moment, do not create any more trouble, otherwise Ye Linghan will catch you and all your efforts will be wasted.
After writing the letter, he folded it carefully, then walked to the door and knocked three times on the closed door.
The door opened a crack and he pushed the letter through the crack, saying in a deep voice, "Send it as soon as possible."
No one spoke outside the house. A hand reached out to take the letter, and then footsteps were heard.
Mu Yuanhou stared at the closed door for a moment, and a cunning and sinister smile suddenly appeared on his plain face.
The smile grew stronger and stronger and did not fade away for a long time, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
Ye Linghan, it won't be long before everything you have now will be mine...
And you can do nothing but watch...
