Chapter 67 Let Him In
Su Xing always wanted to ask Ye Linghan why he gave freedom to the servant Lao Ding but not Lao Hu?
But on the way back to the palace, Ye Linghan was in deep thought, as if something had happened beyond his control, and his whole demeanor became extremely gloomy.
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Ye Linghan ordered Tianyi: "Call Yinger."
After saying this, he continued walking forward in a hurry.
Su Xing's heart unconsciously skipped a beat. As he hurried to catch up, more questions arose in his mind.
What happened?
He recalled what Lao Ding said again, and there was still nothing special. Wasn't it just that he was late in delivering something to the empress dowager from the palace?
Maybe he was too late because he encountered some troubles, so he got angry when Lao Ding asked him about it.
Ying Er was so fast that when they arrived at the study, he was already waiting at the door.
Su Xing felt cold as soon as he saw Ying Er. He was still dressed the same way, with only his eyes showing from head to toe, and everything else was black.
"Greetings, Lord Regent." Ying Er bowed coldly.
Ye Linghan didn't stop and said, "Come in." Then he took the lead and walked into the study.
Su Xing naturally followed Ye Linghan into the study, just like he did every day.
But Tianyi suddenly reached out to stop him: "Mr. Su, please stay."
Su Xing was stunned and almost bumped into Tianyi's arm.
He turned his head in surprise and looked at Tianyi with a serious expression in confusion: "Guard Tianyi, what's wrong?"
Tianyi's eyes were filled with a hint of apology, but he still didn't let go of Su Xing's hand: "Regent..."
According to the rules, no outsiders are allowed to be present when the Regent talks with the secret guards.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ye Linghan who had turned around at some point: "Let him in."
Tian Yi was stunned. He looked at Ye Linghan in disbelief, but Ye Linghan had already continued to walk inside.
What's going on?
This rule has never been broken before, the master actually...
He knew that Su Xing treated Ye Linghan differently from other people, but even so, he couldn't make an exception!
Su Xing didn't understand what happened to Tianyi, but with Ye Linghan's order, he didn't think too much. He whispered to Tianyi who was still in a daze: "Guard Tianyi, can I come in?"
Tianyi finally came back to his senses. He stared at Su Xing with complicated eyes for a moment before withdrawing his hand and bowing his head respectfully: "I am sorry for being rude just now. Please come in, Mr. Su."
Su Xing was startled by Tian Yi's tone, which was many times more respectful than usual, but he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
In the end, he could only smile awkwardly: "Guard Tianyi is too polite, hehe."
Ying Er didn't pay any attention to Su Xing the whole time, he didn't even look at him. He only listened to Ye Linghan and had no objection to any decision Ye Linghan made.
Su Xing was a little afraid of Ying Er. After entering the room, he leaned closer to Ye Linghan, and then waited quietly for the conversation that was about to take place.
He had a premonition, and it must have been shocking...
"You go to the palace..." Ye Linghan finally spoke after thinking for a moment, his voice unusually gloomy: "Find out all the recent movements of the Queen Mother and the Emperor."
Ying Er's expression remained unchanged after hearing this, as if this order was nothing special, and his tone was still cold: "Yes."
After bowing his head, he turned and left.
Su Xing seemed to be under a spell, freezing in place for a long time without any reaction.
It was not until Ye Linghan pulled out a chair and prepared to sit down that he was awakened by the noise of the chair moving!
"Prince Regent..." Su Xing asked anxiously, "Why do you do this?"
How did the case get to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor again?
Ye Linghan paused for a moment before sitting down again. He then shot a sharp look at Su Xing: "You still haven't figured it out?"
Su Xing was so frightened that his heart trembled, and he opened his red lips, but he didn't know how to answer.
Because he really doesn’t understand...
Ye Linghan frowned in displeasure, and the sharpness in his eyes turned into disdain and ridicule: "Where's your brain? Is it in the Ministry of Justice?"
As soon as he heard the word Ministry of Justice, something suddenly flashed through Su Xing's mind.
He didn't care about Ye Linghan's humiliation, and quickly linked the events together, from when he found out about the suspicious points and went to the Ministry of Justice to find the housekeeper, and then found out that the housekeeper was dead, and then he and Ye Linghan went to Xia's house, and the testimony of the servant Lao Ding, etc.
For a long while, his body remained motionless, but the look in his eyes was unpredictable.
"The Regent is suspicious..." Su Xing suddenly exclaimed, his eyes widened, and he couldn't even believe what he said: "The Queen Mother and the Emperor?"
Based on Lao Ding's testimony and Ye Linghan's previous order, the only thing Su Xing could deduce was that his kidnapping was most likely related to the Queen Mother.
Moreover, the Queen Mother had seen him and could accurately describe his identity and appearance...
Ye Linghan still had an unhappy expression, but did not deny it.
Su Xing was completely stunned. No way?
He couldn't figure it out, and risked his life to ask: "Prince Regent, this is impossible? How could the Queen Mother and the Emperor... do such a thing?"
They are already the most distinguished people in the Ye Kingdom. What reason do they have to join forces with Marquis Mu Yuan to rebel?
Isn't that going against yourself?
How is this possible?
"Why not?" Ye Linghan's eyes suddenly became murderous, and his tone became even more terrifying: "They can't wait to take the power back from me!"
In this way, there is a reasonable explanation for Wuxin’s incident.
The late emperor must have been afraid that he would do harm to Ye Lingrui, so he did not let Wuxin be buried with him, but left Wuxin to Ye Lingrui and Xia Yunxi.
As a secret guard, Wuxin only listens to his master.
He would only help Marquis Mu Yuan if ordered to do so.
Ye Linghan's words were like enlightenment to Su Xing, and this time he couldn't refute it.
Ye Linghan's tyrannical rule and his attitude towards Xia Yunxi and her son would indeed make Xia Yunxi and her son have such thoughts.
This also explains why Xia Chengxun took such a big risk to participate in the rebellion.
He was not being threatened, but was helping his daughter and grandson.
But when it comes down to it, this matter is still Ye Linghan's problem.
If he hadn't clung to power, or had been nicer to Xia Yunxi and her son, they wouldn't have been forced to rebel.
Thinking of this, Su Xing's eyes became complicated when he looked at Ye Linghan.
Ye Linghan was on the verge of an emotional outburst at this moment, because he did not expect that Xia Yunxi and her son would dare to do such a thing behind his back.
So when he saw Su Xing's ambiguous look, his suppressed emotions immediately burst out: "What do you want to say?"
Seeing Ye Linghan's overbearing look, completely unaware of his own problems, Su Xing's righteousness suddenly became uncontrollable: "Why doesn't the Regent return the power to the Emperor?"
Ye Linghan was slightly startled, and his aura suddenly changed, as if he was possessed by a terrifying ghost.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you say?"
