Chapter 43 Can't Blame Him
"Mr. Su, are you okay?" Ye Lingchen quickly reached out to pat Su Xing's back, and with his other hand he held up a teacup and handed it over: "Have some tea to calm yourself down."
Su Xing really wanted to cough to death on the spot. He really didn't know how to deal with this extremely embarrassing and dangerous situation.
Especially since Ye Linghan had specifically warned him yesterday not to have any dirty thoughts about him.
The matter was finally forgotten because of the case, but Ye Lingchen brought it up directly on the table.
What should I do?
While Su Xing racked his brains to think of how to answer, he took the teacup handed to him by Ye Lingchen and drank it down with a gulp.
At the same time, he secretly glanced in Ye Linghan's direction, trying to observe Ye Linghan's reaction.
Unexpectedly, Ye Linghan stood up after eating at this time, and left without looking back.
Su Xing paused while drinking his tea, and then heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately...
Ye Lingchen was stunned when he saw Ye Linghan leaving, then he held his chin and looked at Ye Linghan's back meaningfully.
For some reason, he always felt that his brother seemed to be in a hurry...
At noon, Qin Xue came to report again, but still could not find Mu Yuanhou.
This time he was not as high-profile as last time. He looked frightened and uneasy from the moment he entered the door. He did not dare to move after reporting and remained kneeling on the ground.
Ye Linghan was very angry. Although the imperial city was big, those soldiers were all trained by him. It was just a matter of finding someone, which was not a difficult task.
"Are you sure you have searched thoroughly?" Ye Linghan's voice was as gloomy as water, and it also revealed a terrifying aura of oppression. Qin Xue's whole body suddenly stiffened, as if he was wrapped in something.
"Reporting to the Regent." Qin Xue clasped his hands together, trying to keep his voice calm, but his fists were shaking slightly: "I really searched every household, and there is really nothing."
"Asshole!" Ye Linghan shouted angrily, and his aura suddenly changed, as if they were not in the palace at the moment, but on the battlefield: "Has it been too long since you went to the battlefield? Have you all forgotten who you are?"
"I deserve to die!" Qin Xue was frightened half to death, and his face suddenly lost all color.
The atmosphere in the room became extremely depressing, and everyone held their breath, fearing that Ye Linghan's anger would burn them.
At this moment, Ye Lingchen suddenly stood up and said something shocking: "This matter...cannot be blamed on General Qin."
Everyone was shocked by Ye Lingchen's audacity and turned to look over.
Ye Lingchen seemed not to feel it. He touched his chin with his hand and said to himself, "Marquis Mu Yuan has not been convicted yet. Even if we search, we can't go too far, especially to the homes of those prominent people."
Su Xing understood. Even if Qin Xue said he had searched thoroughly, the search was done by his soldiers after all. He would definitely be restrained in front of those dignitaries and would not dare to act rashly.
It would be a different story if Marquis Mu Yuan was convicted. Not only would they have a legitimate reason to do so, but those who dared to shield Marquis Mu Yuan would also be hesitant because the crime of treason is so serious.
Although this method is not very clever, it does have some effect. Besides, there is no better way at the moment.
I just don’t know what Ye Linghan thinks? Su Xing couldn't help but look at Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan did not respond, his stern brows were deeply furrowed, and he seemed to be hesitating.
After a while, he turned to Qin Xue and ordered: "Pass on my order that Marquis Mu Yuan intends to rebel. The whole city is wanted immediately. Anyone who dares to shield him will be punished with the same crime!"
Qin Xue knew that once this order was issued, there would be an uproar in the court, but that was not something he should consider. He just had to obey the order.
"Yes!" Qin Xue took the order and retreated.
After Qin Xue left, Ye Linghan planned to go to the palace, because the ministers in the court would definitely go to the Qinzheng Hall to find him after receiving the news.
As soon as he took a step, a guard came running over and said urgently: "Prince Regent, someone from the Xia Mansion has come. Ask them when the housekeeper can go back?"
Ye Linghan had completely forgotten about this matter. He stopped and remained silent for a moment.
Logically speaking, it has been clarified that the kidnapping of Su Xing has nothing to do with the case, so the housekeeper can be released.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Su Xing.
Su Xing knew that the reason why the butler was brought in for interrogation was entirely because of his wrong guess. When Ye Linghan looked at him, he immediately lowered his head guiltily and scratched his clothes nervously with his hands.
Seeing this, Ye Linghan suddenly changed his mind. He ordered the guards, "Tell the Xia family that the case is not over yet. Once it is over, they will release the person."
Then, he ordered Tianyi: "Send the butler to the Ministry of Justice and ask the Ministry of Justice to investigate the kidnapping and close the case as soon as possible."
Su Xing was very surprised by this arrangement. Was Ye Linghan...helping him to seek justice?
He looked up again, but Ye Linghan had already walked away with his long legs.
He looked at Ye Linghan's back and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Suddenly, a half-smiley voice came into Su Xing's ears: "Mr. Su, you really like the emperor..."
Su Xing jumped up from where he was like a frightened cat, then turned his head sharply and looked at Ye Lingchen with a horrified expression.
After a while, he managed to find his voice again: "Your Highness Prince Ning, you can't say that. I don't have that kind of thought towards the Regent."
It just so happens that Ye Linghan is not here at the moment, so he has to explain everything to Ye Lingchen, otherwise this guy will continue to misunderstand for who knows how long.
"Oh?" Ye Lingchen raised his beautiful willow-shaped eyebrows and chuckled, "Mr. Su, what you said is not consistent with the look you gave your brother just now..."
"My humble servant..." Su Xing was about to explain the whole story when Ye Lingchen interrupted him again: "This king has heard that not long ago, Master Su publicly confessed his love to my brother, saying that he has admired my brother for a long time..."
Ye Lingchen became happier and happier as he spoke, his handsome face filled with smiles, and they were malicious smiles.
Su Xing waved his hands repeatedly: "No!"
He hurriedly told the story of Master Liang framing the fool, and specifically emphasized that this was also one of Marquis Mu Yuan's conspiracies.
After hearing this, Ye Lingchen frowned in thought, then smiled and joked, "Even if Mr. Su was provoked, he must have had this thought in mind. You can't just admit something that didn't happen just because someone provoked you, right?"
"Besides, as far as I know, Mr. Su's orientation seems to have always been..."
Su Xing was afraid that Ye Lingchen would continue talking, so he didn't care about being polite and interrupted him loudly: "That's a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" Ye Lingchen raised his eyebrows again, looking completely unconvinced.
"It's really a misunderstanding!" Su Xing explained seriously: "I was young and ignorant, and I read a few not-so-serious books and was influenced by them."
Su Xing scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a wry smile: "I am awake now. Look, my mother is busy arranging a blind date for me, haha."
"Blind date?" Ye Lingchen stared at Su Xing and touched his chin meaningfully.
