Chapter 96 Fucking Mood
"I was really scared!" Ye Lingchen put one hand on Su Xing's shoulder and patted his chest with the other hand: "Luckily Luo Ling'er was in trouble, otherwise you would really be dead!"
Su Xing pretended not to hear anything and stood there in a daze, staring at Ye Linghan's gradually disappearing figure in disbelief.
Luo Ling'er unexpectedly disappeared... This incident happened...
After a long time, he suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth bitterly.
God really loves to play jokes on him. He finally prepared himself to face death, but...
"Su Xing, are you okay? Why aren't you talking?" Ye Lingchen felt that Su Xing's reaction was very strange and couldn't help but touch his forehead.
Su Xing slowly came back to his senses. He first glanced at Ye Lingchen, who looked exhausted, and then said apologetically, "I am sorry for causing trouble to Your Highness again."
"Why are you saying that again!" Ye Lingchen pretended to be unhappy and snorted, "I treat you as a friend. If you continue to be so distant, I will be unhappy."
Su Xing's eyes suddenly warmed up, and he immediately lowered his head and said softly: "It is my honor to be friends with Your Highness."
Ye Lingchen also felt bad. He patted Su Xing on the shoulder and then changed the subject: "Su Xing, tell me, why did you do such a stupid thing?"
Su Xing was a little confused and didn't understand why Ye Lingchen said that.
Ye Lingchen went on to explain: "Brother, it is impossible for you to kill Tianyi. Why are you so stupid as to sacrifice yourself just to save others?"
"How does your Highness know that the Regent will not kill Tianyi Guard?" Su Xing didn't believe it at all. When he thought of the scene yesterday, he couldn't control his excitement: "You don't know, yesterday the Regent..."
Ye Lingchen made a gesture of urgency and explained, "Tianyi has been with my brother since he was young. He was trained by my brother and has been with me through thick and thin. I don't know how many contributions he has made."
Seeing that Su Xing still didn't believe him, he continued to explain: "Although my brother looks ruthless, he is very principled at critical moments. Tianyi's mistake this time is nothing compared to his previous contributions. My brother can't just kill him."
Su Xing: ······
Ye Lingchen rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Su Xing, you are too impulsive. This time, my brother is even angrier than last time."
Although Su Xing has escaped danger for now because of Luo Ling'er's accident, what about when the problem is resolved?
Su Xing didn’t know how to describe his feelings at the moment. The Ye Linghan mentioned by Ye Lingchen surprised him.
At the same time, he was confused. If that was the case, why did Ye Linghan let him die for Tianyi?
Isn't this setting a trap for him?
Did he always want to kill him and just took this opportunity?
He had never felt so fucked up before, so what was the point of his act of saving people, for which he had finally mustered up the courage?
Why is he so ridiculous? Even something as tragic as death is so ridiculous?
"Su Xing, don't worry too much." Seeing Su Xing's look of heavy blow, Ye Lingchen softened his heart immediately: "Luo Ling'er's matter will not be resolved so quickly in the short term. We don't know what will happen in the meantime. Maybe by then, my brother won't be able to take care of you."
Hearing this, Su Xing was slightly stunned, but not because he had a chance to escape, but because his occupational disease kicked in. He thought of the case from Luo Ling'er's incident.
Could these two things be related?
"Your Highness." Su Xing seemed like a different person in an instant: "Is there any news about the fake Xia Yunjie?"
"Su Xing, it's already this time, and you're still thinking about..." Ye Lingchen was speechless towards Su Xing, but before he finished speaking he thought that if Su Xing made a contribution at this time, Ye Linghan might forgive him.
He immediately became excited: "Let's go and ask!"
After saying that, he grabbed Su Xing and walked out, praying in his heart that God would show up quickly and give them some good luck.
It was not known whether it was a rare opportunity for him to pray to God or Su Xing was just lucky, but before they walked out of the Regent's Palace, they saw the guards from his palace rushing over.
"Your Highness," the guard said respectfully, "We have found out the identity of the portrait's owner!"
Ye Lingchen and Su Xing were both stunned and asked anxiously, "Who is it?"
"His name is Xu Heng, a foreigner. He came to the imperial city half a year ago to take the imperial examination. After failing, he made a living by painting for others on the street." The guard said very quickly: "He suddenly disappeared a month ago. People around him thought he went back to his hometown, so they didn't pay much attention."
Su Xing roughly calculated that the time when Xu Heng disappeared coincided with the time when Xia Yunjie was kidnapped.
It turned out that after Xia Yunjie was kidnapped, it was Xu Heng who returned to the Xia Mansion.
Xu Heng can draw, maybe the portrait of Xia Yunxi was painted by him.
In other words, he had seen Xia Yunxi, otherwise he would not have been able to draw that picture.
This means that Xia Yunxi is very likely related to the kidnapping of Xia Yunjie.
I just don't know what kind of relationship it is?
Ye Lingchen and Su Xing had similar thoughts. They looked at each other tacitly and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.
"Your Highness, can you take me into the palace?" Su Xing suddenly said something shocking.
"What are you going into the palace for?" Ye Lingchen seemed to have guessed Su Xing's intention and his expression became serious.
"I want to see the Queen Mother." Su Xing replied without knowing his place.
Xia Yunxi is obviously a suspect. Not only the matter of the fake Xia Yunjie, but also Luo Linger's disappearance today is very likely related to Xia Yunxi.
Because Xia Yunxi loves Ye Linghan, but Ye Linghan wants to marry Luo Linger.
If Xia Yunxi can kidnap Xia Yunjie, she can also kidnap Luo Linger.
Although he had no concrete evidence, he could see Xia Yunxi and perhaps he could find out something.
After all, people who do bad things feel guilty to some extent.
Ye Lingchen wanted to refuse, but then he thought: if there really was a discovery, Su Xing’s contribution would be even greater, and Ye Linghan would definitely not pursue the matter any further.
But he was afraid that doing so was too risky. What if there was something wrong with Xia Yunxi? Would this trip to the palace harm Su Xing?
After struggling for a long time, he finally made a decision: "If something happens to the emperor, I should go and pay my respects."
Never mind, let’s solve the problem at hand first.
Su Xing was very grateful and bowed deeply to Ye Lingchen: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Ye Lingchen showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Let's go."
As soon as Ye Linghan walked into the reception room of the Princess's Mansion, he felt the tense atmosphere, but it had no effect on him.
"Aunt." Ye Linghan said coldly.
"Regent." Although Ye Wan was anxious, she looked calm. She slowly told the details: "Today is the day when Ling'er went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. She was supposed to be back in two hours, but she has not been seen. I sent people to look for her, but they couldn't find her."
Speaking of this, Ye Wan became a little excited, but her royal upbringing did not allow her to lose control.
She suppressed her emotions and continued, "Later, someone said that they saw Ling'er's carriage in the suburbs outside the city. The carriage had overturned, and the guards were killed. Ling'er...is missing..."
