Xinyou's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she nodded, "Yes, Aunt Xin gave birth to a son, and we grew up together."

Seeing the surprise in He Qingxiao's eyes, she twitched the corners of her mouth: "Your Excellency, you don't think I'm called Aunt Xin, Empress Dowager? Although my mother is Aunt Xin's maid, Aunt Xin has never been condescending. Know Aunt Xin's true identity."

"The prince—"

Xinyou interrupted He Qingxiao: "It's fine for Mr. He to call him Mr. Xin. Aunt Xin has long since abandoned her identity as empress, and Mr. Xin doesn't care to be a prince after knowing his background."

He Qingxiao practiced kindness and changed his address: "When the accident happened, was Mr. Xin in the valley?"

"Not here, Mr. Xin just happened to go out."

"then you--"

He Qingxiao wanted to ask, Mr. Xin escaped a catastrophe because he went out, how did you survive.But looking at the girl's cold and clear eyes, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.

Originally, what he wanted to know was the identity of the valley victim and the situation of the prince.As for the rest, it is just a curiosity that everyone has.

No need to think about it, she knew that it must be her deepest pain, why should he expose the scars.

"Have you seen Mr. Xin after the accident?"

"I haven't seen you again, and I don't want to see you again. I just hope Mr. Xin will be fine and nothing will happen."

Speaking of this, Xin You looked deeply at the man in front of her: "Master He, are you looking for Mr. Xin?"

He Qingxiao didn't hide anything: "I ordered to find survivors."

Through the behavior of those people in Guchangbo Mansion, he speculated that the boy might have survived, but it was not confirmed until now.

"Find Mr. Xin, what will Mr. He plan to do?"

He Qingxiao raised his eyebrows unconsciously: "Mr. Xin is the son of the empress, so he should be the only direct prince of Daxia—"

"So Master He will report to the emperor?"

"In his position, seek his government."

"Then why hasn't Mr. He reported what he found to the emperor?"

"There is no evidence to confirm the identity of the victim in the valley, and there is no evidence to point out that Guchang Bo's mansion is the perpetrator. It is not appropriate to report rashly regarding the Queen, Concubine Shu, and King Qing." He Qingxiao said frankly.

Among other things, if he sent people to stare at King Qing's ancestral home without any evidence, he might be hit back severely by Concubine Shu.

Although he was Jin Linwei, the emperor's eyes and ears, King Qing was the emperor's preferred heir. Coupled with his embarrassing background, a careless move would set him on fire.

"Also, I want to talk to Ms. Kou first to hear what you think."

The last sentence eased Xinyou's tense expression.

"Master He just mentioned that there is no evidence that Guchangbo's mansion is the perpetrator. Does this mean that Master He actually suspects them?" Xin You asked tentatively.

She didn't know to what extent Master He would confess to her.

"People from Guchangbo's Mansion went to Wanyang and have been active within the valley as the center."

"They're looking for Mr. Xin?" Xin You blurted out.

The people who traveled southward with Chang Liang had not returned for a long time, and they were indeed looking for her.

Fortunately, she always wears men's clothes when she walks outside. People outside the mountain who know that mother and the others exist will only think that she is mother's son.

The people sent by Gu Changbo probably didn't know of her existence until some time after the attack, so they stayed to find someone, and sent Chang Liang back to Beijing to report the letter.

The reason why Xinyou judged this way was because when she returned to the valley, no one was ambushing her, so she successfully buried her mother and the others.

If those people knew that there was another Mr. Xin before they did it, it would be impossible for them to make such a mistake.

"Master He talked with me, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"Miss Kou, what are your plans?"

With his frank confession first, Xinyou is also ready to show some sincerity.

It should be said that at this point, she needs his cooperation.

"Master He also said that it is not appropriate to report rashly. After all, those people hold a special weight in the emperor's heart. What if it is the other way around?"

"in turn?"

Xinyou quietly rubbed her cold fingers, suppressed the pain in her stomach, and said calmly: "If the emperor wants to investigate Wanyang on his own initiative, and thus orders Mr. He to investigate, wouldn't that be logical?"

There was surprise in He Qingxiao's eyes.

Miss Kou means, is there a way for the emperor to take the initiative to notice?
"If that's the case, it's a matter of course."

Even if there is still no conclusive evidence at that time, what he found now can be reported to the emperor as information from a new investigation.

Sometimes, evidence is not the most important thing.What the emperor will do depends on how important the queen and King Qing are in his heart.

"I have a way, but it will take some time."

Despite this guess, He Qingxiao still raised his eyebrows when Xin You said it with certainty.

Xin You looked at him, with pleading eyes in her clear eyes: "Master He, can you wait for a while?"

"How long?"

"Years ago."

He Qingxiao couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.

She seems to enjoy leaving things to be settled years ago.

But now, it was already November, of course he could wait.

"it is good."

After hearing his promise, Xinyou's expression relaxed a lot: "Is there anything else Mr. He wants to ask?"

He Qingxiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly: "There are more."

Xin You waited for him to continue, and already had guesses in her mind.

What Mr. He wants to ask is the real Miss Kou, right?
Sure enough, I heard him ask: "How did you become Kou Qingqing? The real Kou girl...where is she buried?"

Xin You had anticipated the first question, but was surprised by the second.

It is not surprising that Mr. He speculates that Kou Qingqing is no longer alive, but why does he think she knows where Kou Qingqing is buried?

Suppressing her doubts, Xin You answered the first question: "It's not that I want to be Kou Qingqing, but people from the Shaoqing Mansion approached me and regarded me as Kou Qingqing."

His eyes fell gently on her face.

Xin You brushed her cheek with her hand, and smiled: "Is it an unbelievable coincidence, this is indeed my face, not deliberately disguised as Kou Qingqing."

She and Kou Qingqing are at least eight points alike.

Now that I think about it, how much people in the Shaoqing Mansion should have ignored Kou Qingqing, this eight-point portrait can be very useful.

He Qingxiao nodded unconsciously.

Quite a coincidence indeed.

He thought she was disguised as Kou Qingqing, so that she could gain a foothold in this capacity.

Xin You also thought of this, and asked: "Master He asked me where Kou Qingqing was buried, because he thought I saw the dead Kou Qingqing, and then disguised herself as her?"

"There is such a guess."

Xin You pursed her lips and asked, "Master He will not suspect that I killed Kou Qingqing in place of me?"

He Qingxiao quickly realized: she was angry.

He paused, and said frankly: "I'm not so suspicious. When I first saw Miss Kou, I smelled the smell of corpses when I approached. This means that the deceased that Miss Kou approached has been dead for some time."

Xin You: "..." It was really a wonderful first meeting.
