Chapter 214 The person she cares about

  The man's voice was very soft, but it hit Xin You hard like a heavy hammer.

  Is there anyone she cares about in this world?

   She looked at the man in front of her and thought, if she didn't deceive herself, there was one. It's just that this care can't be placed on the balance, compared with the tragic death of mother and the others.

  So she replied lightly: "Not anymore."

  After He Qingxiao heard this answer, many emotions in his eyes were covered by calmness, and his voice was low but firm: "But there are still many people in this world who care about Miss Kou."

  Xin You smiled: "It's strange that Mr. He said these things. I just offended King Qing with my words, and I was a little embarrassed by him. It's not—"

   "You are going to assassinate King Qing." He Qingxiao interrupted her.

  He was determined and decisive, as if he was there at the time.

  Xin You didn't admit it: "Master He misunderstood—"

  The man's actions made her forget to continue.

  He suddenly stepped forward to hold her wrist, and while she was in a daze, he took out the thin blade from her palm.

  Because of hiding the blade, the girl's tender palm was cut with knife marks, and blood seeped out of her fair skin.

   "What is this?" He Qingxiao asked while pinching the blade.

  In Xin You's impression, Mr. He is good-looking, gentle, and well-mannered, but now she can hear the sullenness in his tone.

   is another side she has not seen.

  Xin You pursed her lips tightly, and the man in front of her was also persistent, staring at her and waiting for a response.

   "It's the blade." After a long stalemate, Xin You opened her mouth.

  This answer made He Qingxiao look helpless.

   He is not blind.

   "That's right, I wanted to kill King Qing." Xin You admitted, and asked her doubts, "How did Mr. He know?"

"Uncle Guchang was killed suddenly, and people were in panic, so Guchangbo's mansion has been under the attention of Jin Linwei. On that day, Guchangbo's son Dai Ze suddenly went to Qingsong Bookstore. The mansion sent a sacrificial ceremony, and I had doubts in my heart." He Qingxiao looked at Xinyou, "Miss Kou hated Gu Changbo's mansion to the bone, why did she send a sacrificial ceremony? When I received the news that King Qing went to the bookstore, I had a guess .”

  He paused when he said this, but he didn't see any change in Xin You's expression, and he felt scared in his heart.

   This emotion is very strange, he has never had it before.

   "The purpose of Miss Kou sending the sacrificial ceremony is to invite King Qing to come here through Dai Ze, the eldest son of Guchangbo. And the reason why King Qing came here is never to chat."

  Xin You's injured hand slightly closed: "How did Mr. He know that he used a blade?"

   Naturally, the blade wasn't in her hand from the beginning, but was properly hidden in her sleeve by her. Later, Master He broke something, and King Qing turned his attention to Master He, so she kept it in her hand all the time.

  He Qingxiao's eyes fell on her hand, and he gave an explanation: "Since I entered, Miss Kou's hand has not let go, and I—"

  He seemed to be thinking of something, and after a slight pause, he continued: "And I have a good sense of smell, and I can't ignore the faint smell of blood."

  Xin You lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly: "Master He is really perceptive."

  He Qingxiao was silent for a moment, and asked: "Miss Kou is blaming me for breaking your business?"

  Xin You answered truthfully: "A little bit."

  She knew that he was doing it for her own good, but what she wanted was not to live in an idiotic way. If she can't avenge her mother and the others, even if she is sitting on mountains of gold and silver, she will not be happy every day.

   "Miss Kou, wait a moment."

  He Qingxiao went out, and came back not long after, with ointment and muslin in his hands.

  Xin You silently watched as he grabbed her hand, applied ointment, and wrapped her palm with a soft white cloth.

   "It's not that delicate, Mr. He doesn't have to be so." Xin You pulled back her hand.

  Her wrist was firmly grasped by the opponent's hand.

   "I'm a very unlucky person, and I've realized since I was sensible..."

  Xin You stopped moving unconsciously.

"I get hurt from time to time, and occasionally I almost die. I have never seen my parents. Maybe the only thing I care about in this world is Aunt Gui..." The man's voice was as clear and clean as spring water, without self-pity, without inciting emotions, just purely speaking to others. The girl in front of me listened, "Life is so difficult, it seems that there is no pity to give up. But I still feel that life is very good, I can read books, see scenery, and meet interesting people and things. Miss Kou, you are only seventeen years old, waiting for you At the age of seventy, tell the younger generation about the youthful past of revenge and hatred, isn't it good?"

   After he finished speaking, he also bandaged it, and looked at the girl in front of him gently with a pair of black eyes.

  Xin You saw the deep prayer in his eyes, and suddenly the word "not good" could not be uttered.

  She looked down at her hands wrapped in muslin, which was so delicately wrapped.

   "Although the wound is thin, it is a bit deep. Wrapping it up can prevent it from touching the water. Remember to take it off and change the dressing at night."

   "Thank you, Mr. He." Xin You thanked, but never answered "yes" or "no".

  She cherishes her life, and when necessary, she will not spare her life.

   But she was very sure of one thing, she absolutely couldn't bear that King Qing had always been a high-ranking prince, and in the future he would also be a prince and the master of Great Xia.

  He Qingxiao saw her determination, pondered for a moment, and said something: "King Qing and others set up Beibei for disaster relief, and there is a high possibility of corruption."

  Xin You was startled slightly: "Master He has a clue?"

"Two days ago, Jinlin Guard found a person acting suspiciously. He was arrested and interrogated. He claimed to be the son of the chief secretary of Beiquan County. Bei'an County was the hardest hit by the Dingbei Earthquake. Very serious. This person said that the Beiquan disaster victims were too late to wait for the relief. Countless people died of freezing and starvation. His father reported it to the police but was brutally killed. —”

   "Wait a minute." Xin You looked a little strange, "Is this person a young man of medium stature and thin, with handsome facial features?"

  He Qingxiao was taken aback: "Miss Kou knows you?"

"I don't know him, but I might have seen him." Xin You didn't finish her sentence, but she was almost sure that it was the young man who was hiding under her carriage that day, "Master He, can I see him? It's best to watch him quietly." Take a look, without disturbing the other party, to see if it is the person I have seen."

  He Qingxiao was not afraid of Xin You's request, but he was afraid that her heart would be as still as water and only had the will to die, so she agreed.

  Xin You quickly saw the person through a specially made hole through a wall.

   It was undoubtedly the young man I met on the day I went to Qianying Mountain.

   "It's him." Xin You didn't hide anything, and told He Qingxiao what happened that day.

   "In this way, what this person said is more credible."

   "What is Master He going to do?"

   "I have sent someone to Dingbei to investigate in secret. If what that person said is true, I want to let Jinshang know." He Qingxiao looked at Xin You and asked seriously, "Miss Kou, can you give me some time?"

   This time, he finally got the answer he wanted to hear.

   "Okay." Xin You said softly.
