Chapter 52 Little Emotions
The butler cried miserably, his voice was full of hatred and regret, making it impossible not to believe what he said.
Su Xing couldn't find any reason to doubt, but he never imagined that his kidnapping would lead to such consequences.
Ye Linghan was unmoved and asked coldly: "Who assisted you?"
Everyone was shocked again. Is there an accomplice in this matter?
Su Xing quickly understood Ye Linghan's doubts. The prisoners in the prison were held in solitary confinement and the cell doors were locked. The butler had to come out of the cell before he could kill anyone.
The others soon realized this, and a strange atmosphere suddenly emerged from the crowd, because that person was among them...
Liu Yan's face instantly lost all color. How could this be outrageous? His jailer actually dared to do such a thing!
The butler knew he couldn't hide it, so he raised his head and slowly looked in one direction.
Before everyone could look over, a thin jailer suddenly rushed out from the crowd like a frightened rabbit.
But how could he possibly escape?
Tianyi took a step forward, grabbed the jailer's shoulder, and pulled him back.
The jailer had no ability to resist. He flew backwards in an instant and fell heavily in front of everyone.
"Ah..." The jailer's left shoulder hit the ground. He was probably hit hard by the fall. He immediately covered his shoulder and screamed.
Everything became clear, and Su Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his bold assumption was not wrong.
Considering his performance just now, Ye Linghan shouldn't settle accounts with him anymore, right?
Thinking of this, Su Xing couldn't help but glance at Ye Linghan secretly, only to find that Ye Linghan was scolding Liu Yan: "Master Liu, I will keep your head for now. When this is over, I will slowly settle with you!"
After saying that, he actually turned and left.
Su Xing looked at Liu Yan sympathetically. He wanted to say a few words of comfort but felt that it would be useless. After all, he could not help much. So he had to hurriedly follow Ye Linghan and leave together.
Ye Linghan got on the carriage swiftly. Su Xing was afraid that he would be left behind again, so he crawled after him.
Ye Linghan heard a crackling noise behind him and couldn't help but glance over.
Seeing Su Xing's funny actions, he paused slightly, then as if he remembered something, he snorted coldly.
After sitting down, Tianyi closed the car door from the outside, and the car became quiet instantly.
Su Xing's heart was in knots. He didn't know whether Ye Linghan would come to settle the score with him, and he didn't know how to get along with Ye Linghan.
But the carriage had been driving for a long time and Ye Linghan didn't speak, and his eyes were closed, as if he was thinking or resting.
Su Xing glanced at Ye Linghan several times, but Ye Linghan did not react.
He was a little bolder and looked generous.
He first marveled at Ye Linghan’s stunning appearance. From his forehead to his nose to his lips, it was as if he had been carved by God himself. How perfect.
Suddenly, he saw a dark color under Ye Linghan's eyes and couldn't help but frowned, as if the originally perfect existence was destroyed.
He immediately realized that Ye Linghan had not slept all night again...
When he thought of this, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He went home and had a good sleep, but Ye Linghan...
In addition to guilt, there seemed to be some other emotion in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was for the time being.
He wanted to look away and keep as quiet as possible so that Ye Linghan could have a good rest.
However, Ye Linghan suddenly asked: "Have you seen enough?"
Su Xing was caught in the act and felt extremely embarrassed. He was afraid that Ye Linghan would say that he had dirty thoughts again. He wanted to explain but was interrupted by Ye Linghan: "Do you think the housekeeper really wanted to avenge Li Si?"
Su Xing was slightly stunned. He didn’t expect Ye Linghan to ask this. Could it be that Ye Linghan didn’t believe what the housekeeper said?
"Your Majesty, based on my observation, the butler... doesn't seem to be lying..." Su Xing answered truthfully.
He really couldn't see any flaws, but he also knew that he was not good at judging people.
Ye Linghan smiled coldly, then opened his eyes and said something without beginning or ending: "Last night Chen Lin said that he had something important to tell me in person, and it was about the whereabouts of Marquis Mu Yuan."
Su Xing suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked straight at Ye Linghan. No wonder Ye Linghan went to the Ministry of Justice overnight.
"How could Chen Lin know? Did he also participate in the rebellion?" After being shocked, he quickly realized what Ye Linghan wanted to say: "The Regent King said that Chen Lin was... silenced?"
Ye Linghan gave Su Xing a look that said he was not stupid enough. He did not respond to Su Xing directly, but said: "Your original speculation may be correct..."
Although Ye Linghan's words were a bit incoherent, Su Xing could understand that Ye Linghan was talking about the kidnapping.
He originally speculated that the person behind his kidnapping was an accomplice of Marquis Mu Yuan, but Chen Lin said it was him. Now Chen Lin is involved in treason...
There were complicated emotions in Su Xing's eyes. He didn't expect that after going around in a circle, he would go back.
"But..." Su Xing soon had doubts again: "It is true that the butler was the murderer who killed Chen Lin."
If Chen Lin was silenced, it should be Marquis Mu Yuan or his accomplices who sent people to kill him. How could it be the butler?
The butler is a member of the Xia family. It is impossible that the Xia family asked him to kill him. This really doesn't make sense.
Ye Linghan knew what Su Xing was wondering about, and immediately showed a look of disdain: "Why can't it be the Xia Mansion?"
Su Xing was stunned. He looked at Ye Linghan in disbelief: "Isn't the Xia Mansion the Empress Dowager's...family home?"
He didn't know if saying this was disrespectful to the Queen Mother, so his voice became smaller and smaller.
"So what?" Ye Linghan asked in a teasing tone, as if he was teasing a puppy on a whim.
Su Xing didn't know what to say. He didn't like Ye Linghan's behavior of treating him like a fool. He was not a member of the imperial court, so how would he understand the twists and turns here?
So he lowered his head in dismay and replied with a little emotion: "I am stupid and don't know."
Seeing this scene, Ye Linghan inadvertently curled the corners of his mouth. This idiot was so bold that he even dared to get upset with him...
Ye Linghan was in a good mood and patiently explained: "Although the Xia family is the empress dowager's maternal family, the emperor was young and did not enjoy any preferential treatment. In addition, relatives of the emperor were not allowed to interfere in government affairs, so the people of the Xia family only had idle positions but no real power."
Su Xing was first surprised at Ye Linghan's patience in explaining, and then he began to think about what Ye Linghan said.
He was smart and quickly understood the reason.
His emotions came and went quickly, especially since Ye Linghan was so considerate, he was very grateful and even planned to thank him.
Just then, the Regent arrived.
Su Xing had no choice but to swallow what he was about to say and followed Ye Linghan out of the car.
Ye Linghan went to the study again. Su Xing didn't know what to say and could only follow him.
But before he entered, Tianyi suddenly stopped him and whispered in his ear: "Master Su, please persuade the regent. He hasn't had a good rest for several days."
