Chapter 57 Worrying about Him
While Su Xing was secretly repenting for his lie just now, he was also worried that Ye Linghan might have seen through his lie and was thinking about how to torture him.
Because ever since he finished answering, Ye Linghan fell into abnormal silence, with his eyes lowered so low that no emotion could be seen in his eyes.
Not only that, even Ye Linghan's aura was different from usual, as if he had been stimulated by something, and it was a bit weird.
But what can stimulate Ye Linghan?
Besides, what he just said was clearly a compliment, Ye Linghan should be happy.
But no matter what, he should remain silent at this time and not provoke it again.
Fortunately, after returning to the palace, Ye Linghan has recovered as usual and has become the cold-blooded and ruthless regent that everyone fears.
Su Xing couldn't help but wonder if he had seen it wrong just now?
Tianyi came back at this time, his face looking very solemn.
He walked quickly to Ye Linghan and reported carefully: "Regent, General Qin has led his troops to surround the Xia Mansion and searched it thoroughly. He also found traces of Marquis Mu Yuan, but it was still too late. Marquis Mu Yuan... ran away..."
Tianyi lowered his head deeply after he finished speaking. He no longer dared to think about how angry Ye Linghan would be, and what kind of anger he would face...
Ye Linghan was indeed angry, but he did not explode as Tianyi imagined: "Take Xia Chengxun back to the palace, and lock up the others in the Xia Mansion. Let Qin Xue guard them well!"
Tianyi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly accepted the order and left: "Yes."
Before leaving, he looked at Su Xing with confusion.
Su Xing could understand Ye Linghan's mood at the moment. The case had finally made substantial progress since it happened, so Ye Linghan was in a good mood.
As for Marquis Mu Yuan, without the protection of the Xia family, his situation will only get worse and worse. It is only a matter of time before he is caught.
The only people we need to worry about now are the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in the palace.
Xia Chengxun is the empress dowager's father and the emperor's grandfather. Now that he has committed the crime of treason, what kind of sensation will it cause?
Could the Queen Mother and her son just watch the Xia family fall apart and be destroyed?
Will there be conflicts between them and Ye Linghan at that time?
What is the attitude of the ministers in the court? What kind of pressure will Ye Linghan face then?
The more Su Xing thought about it, the gloomier he felt. However, among all his emotions, worry about Ye Linghan stood out the most.
He didn't know why this was happening, and he didn't have time to think about the reason. He just looked at Ye Linghan worriedly.
Ye Linghan felt Su Xing's gaze, turned his head and asked coldly: "What's wrong?" Does he have any objection to his decision?
He is quite courageous and even dares to question his decision!
Su Xing opened his mouth, wanting to say something but not daring to.
Just as he was hesitating, a guard suddenly ran over and said, "Regent, the emperor sent someone to tell you to go to the palace."
Su Xing's heart tightened. Sure enough, it came...
The words he hesitated to say just now, he couldn't hold back at this moment like a volcano about to erupt, but before he could open his mouth, Ye Linghan had already left without even saying hello to him.
Su Xing stood there for a moment with his mouth open, just watching Ye Linghan disappear from his sight.
At that moment, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
When Ye Lingchen heard that Su Xing and the others had returned, he couldn't wait to find Su Xing. On the one hand, he wanted to know the result of their visit to the Ministry of Justice, and on the other hand, he wanted to continue chatting with Su Xing.
"Su Xing, why are you here alone?" Ye Lingchen saw Su Xing standing stupidly in the middle of the courtyard as soon as he walked into the courtyard gate. He immediately quickened his pace: "Did you gain anything from the Ministry of Justice? Where's my brother?"
As he spoke, Ye Lingchen glanced in the direction of the study.
Su Xing came back to his senses and quickly clasped his hands together and saluted: "Your Highness Prince Ning."
He briefly recounted the whole story, and when he mentioned Ye Linghan entering the palace, a complicated look appeared on his delicate face again.
Ye Lingchen saw through Su Xing's worries at a glance. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, my brother can handle it. Don't forget, my brother has the final say in the Ye Kingdom."
Su Xing was surprised that Ye Lingchen actually knew about his worries. He was a little embarrassed at first, and then he explained, "I'm not worried, I just didn't expect things to turn out like this. I feel a little emotional..."
Although I said this, I felt relaxed in my heart.
Ye Lingchen was right. That was Ye Linghan. It was really ridiculous that he was actually worried about Ye Linghan.
Ye Lingchen did not expose Su Xing. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, then continued speaking along with Su Xing's words: "Yes, who would have thought that Mu Yuanhou's accomplice was Xia Chengxun."
After saying that, he raised his hand and touched his chin, falling into thought.
For a long while, neither of them spoke, each thinking about their own things.
As soon as Ye Linghan walked into the Qinzheng Hall, he saw Xia Yunxi and her son. Although Ye Lingrui was sitting, his young face was full of anxiety.
Xia Yunxi paced back and forth anxiously, not even noticing Ye Linghan coming in.
"Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager." Ye Linghan performed a greeting that was not perfunctory but not very sincere either.
Xia Yunxi and her son were stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Linghan at the same time.
"Prince Regent!" Xia Yunxi spoke first, her voice trembling: "My father... is really with Marquis Mu Yuan..."
The moment she opened her mouth, tears flowed uncontrollably, and her beautiful face was full of disbelief.
Ye Linghan glanced at Xia Yunxi coldly, and then said sarcastically: "The Queen Mother is really well-informed."
This incident had just happened for a short time when it reached Xia Yunxi's ears, and it was so specific...
Xia Yunxi instantly understood Ye Linghan's sarcasm, and the color drained from her face.
She lowered her eyes guiltily, then looked at Ye Linghan pitifully, pleading: "Regent, my father would never do such a thing. There must be some misunderstanding..."
Ye Linghan's face darkened instantly: "The Queen Mother is doubting my judgment?"
Without waiting for Xia Yunxi to answer, he continued, "I have already announced to the public that Marquis Mu Yuan was plotting a rebellion, but the Xia family still took him in. Does the Queen Mother think this is also a misunderstanding?"
Xia Yunci seemed to have received an extremely heavy blow. She swayed and took several steps back. Ye Lingrui stepped forward to support her: "Mother, are you okay?"
Ye Lingrui was trying his best to control his emotions because he was afraid that Ye Linghan would get angry, but now he really couldn't control himself. His eyes were red and tears were welling up in his eyes.
Ye Linghan looked at Xia Yunxi and her son coldly and mercilessly. After a while, he said, "I came to the palace not to explain to you, but to warn you. If you want to keep your current glory and wealth, don't do anything unnecessary!"
After saying that, he turned around coldly and prepared to leave.
Xia Yunxi suddenly came back to life. She rushed forward, grabbed Ye Linghan's arm without caring about her image, and asked in tears, "How will the Regent deal with my father?"
