Chapter 64 Suspicious Points Discovered
Su Xing understood Ye Linghan’s anger. After all, no man could accept such a thing, especially someone of Ye Linghan’s status.
But that person happened to be his father the emperor, whom he could not resist. You can imagine how aggrieved he felt.
So the angrier Ye Linghan became, the more sympathetic Su Xing felt, but he was also afraid that Ye Linghan would get too angry and take his anger out on himself.
So he lied quickly: "I didn't think much. I just felt that things in the world are unpredictable, especially matters of the heart. It's really hard to figure out."
He was so eager to survive that he lied so seriously that Ye Linghan couldn't tell whether it was true or false.
Su Xing saw that Ye Linghan's anger had mostly subsided, so he took advantage of the situation and praised him, "The Prince Regent is really charming. Even the Queen Mother was attracted to you. I'm really envious."
This compliment came from Su Xing's heart and sounded particularly sincere.
Ye Linghan never cared about other people's praise, but it seemed to sound much more pleasant coming from Su Xing's mouth, so his expression eased a little.
Su Xing seized the opportunity and pointed at his chin pitifully: "Prince Regent, can you let go first? It hurts..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Linghan let go of his hand instantly as if he had been electrocuted.
At the same time, an ambiguous look flashed across his black eyes, as if he was frightened by something.
And in his mind, the last word of Su Xing's words kept repeating: It hurts...
Su Xing didn't expect Ye Linghan to be so straightforward. He was still in a daze when he saw Ye Linghan suddenly stand up, and then, as if he didn't see him, he pushed him aside and walked out...
Su Xing stood there in confusion for a long time, and he didn't come to his senses until Ye Linghan disappeared in the study.
After a long time, Tianyi came back and was stunned to see Su Xing standing alone in the study in a daze.
"Master Su..." Tianyi looked around and confirmed that Ye Linghan was not there, then he asked curiously: "Where is the Regent?"
Su Xing then saw Tian Yi, paused, and replied: "The Regent just went out."
"Out?" Tianyi frowned in confusion, then asked: "Where did you go?"
Su Xing shrugged helplessly and said with a wry smile: "I don't know either..."
He also wants to say hello! He still doesn't know what happened. Everything that happened just now seemed like a dream.
"Didn't the Regent say that?" Tianyi was even more confused. He had never encountered such a situation before.
Su Xing shook his head innocently: "The Regent left without saying anything, and he left in a hurry."
As Ye Linghan's personal bodyguard, Tianyi is extremely concerned about Ye Linghan's safety.
Hearing this, his expression suddenly became serious. He thought for a moment and wondered worriedly: "Did something happen?"
Then he stared at Su Xing seriously: "Mr. Su, please recall carefully what happened just now?"
Su Xing was infected by Tian Yi's nervousness and immediately recalled it seriously, but apart from the fact that Ye Linghan was poached by the late emperor, he really couldn't think of anything else.
Just when he was struggling over whether or not to tell Tianyi about Ye Linghan’s dark history, footsteps were suddenly heard outside the door.
The two of them looked up immediately. Who else could that domineering and terrifying figure be but Ye Linghan?
Facing the surprised gazes of the two, Ye Linghan pretended not to notice them. He walked into the study and asked in a deep voice, "Is everything arranged?"
Tianyi suppressed his doubts and replied respectfully: "Reply to the Regent, it has been arranged. The letters will be delivered the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Ye Linghan nodded and said nothing more.
Seeing that Ye Linghan looked normal, Su Xing didn't dare to ask what happened just now. He just took a step back to make way for Ye Linghan.
When Ye Linghan sat down, he suddenly thought of something and asked softly, "Prince Regent, should we also verify the kidnapping of Xia Chengxun's son?"
It was unclear whether Ye Linghan heard it or not, and he didn't seem to react.
Su Xing was a little embarrassed when Ye Linghan ignored him. Just when he was at a loss as to what to do, he suddenly heard Ye Linghan order Tian Yi: "Leave this matter to Ye Lingchen and tell him that he will bear the consequences if he does not investigate it thoroughly."
Su Xing was frightened by the threat in Ye Linghan's tone. Isn't this a bad idea? Why does it seem as if he has harmed Ye Lingchen?
After Tianyi left, Su Xing and Ye Linghan were the only ones left in the study.
Su Xing had a lot of questions in his mind, but he didn't dare to speak.
Ye Linghan picked up the memorial on the table and started reading it, as if Su Xing didn't exist.
Until dark, the two of them didn't have any more communication, including during meals.
The next morning, Ye Linghan went to the palace for the morning court as usual, while Su Xing stayed in the mansion to study the case.
After a while, a letter and an invitation arrived.
The letter was written by Zhang to Su Xing, telling him that the blind date went well, that Lin Lan'er was very satisfied with him and was willing to continue meeting him.
The invitation letter was sent from the Princess's Mansion, inviting Ye Linghan to attend a banquet at the Princess's Mansion.
Su Xing placed the invitation letter on Ye Linghan's desk, and wrote a reply to Zhang using Ye Linghan's pen, saying that he had a good impression of Lin Lan'er and agreed to get in touch with her.
After sending away the servant who delivered the letter, he continued to sit on the threshold of the study and think about the case.
Suddenly, he remembered what made him feel something was wrong the last time Chen Lin was killed.
If Chen Lin was also part of the rebellion, would it be Chen Lin who kidnapped him?
He always felt that Chen Lin's reason for kidnapping him was far-fetched, and killing someone just because he lost face was an exaggeration.
It is obvious that Chen Lin is taking the blame for someone else...
Combined with what the masked man said when he was kidnapped and the current situation, the person who made Chen Lin willing to take the blame should be Xia Chengxun...
But when he appeared in front of Xia Chengxun yesterday, Xia Chengxun didn't react at all when he saw him. Is this reasonable?
No, he had to check it out. He always felt that there was some hidden secret.
In fact, the easiest way would be to ask Xia Chengxun, but Ye Linghan is not here now, and if he goes to Xia Chengxun with his identity, he may not be ignored.
He also thought about waiting for Ye Linghan to come back, but when he thought about how Ye Linghan had so many things to do every day, he decided not to bother Ye Linghan anymore if he could do it himself.
Anyway, he is free now, so it would be the same if he went to the Ministry of Justice to ask the butler.
So he walked to the desk again, picked up a pen and left a note for Ye Linghan, briefly explaining the situation.
It was almost noon when Ye Linghan came back and went straight to the study.
He thought he would see that guy when he entered the room, but he didn't expect the room to be empty. The anger that had been suppressed for the whole morning was instantly ignited.
Damn it, how dare you leave without my permission?
It seems like she turned a deaf ear to his words!
He scanned the room with cold eyes, finally stopping at the desk, frowning.
He strode over and saw the invitation letter and the note left by Su Xing.
His eyes only glanced at the invitation quickly before landing on the note.
