The moment Xin You met King Shang Qing's gaze, Xin You knew that the other party's intentions were not good.

What does it matter, since she said those words to Dai Ze, she has been waiting for this day.

It doesn't matter if she wants to see her poorly or is directly rude, as long as she can take King Qing's life today, it is a success for her.

Xin You walked over steadily, and calmly saluted King Qing: "I have met His Highness King Qing."

King Qing raised his chin: "Xiao Wang goes out in a low suit, Miss Kou doesn't need to be too polite. Come here today, I have something to say to Miss Kou."

"His Royal Highness King Qing, please follow me." Xin You led King Qing to the reception room.

King Qing turned around and ordered the two attendants who were following him: "You just stay here and keep watch."

Some things, the less people know the better.

As for Miss Kou—killing intent welled up in King Qing's eyes.

If it is really a fortune-telling and deduces some information, she can still consider saving her life, but if she has a plan, she will never be allowed to live!

In the reception room, the blue vase still held wild cherry blossoms, but the pink was replaced by snow white.

Liu Zhou brought in the tea and then withdrew, and the door of the reception room was also closed.

With two cups of tea in between, King Qing looked at the girl opposite.

His eyebrows are exquisite, noble and natural, which made him instinctively disliked.

King Qing didn't want to admit that he couldn't help feeling a little jealous when facing this girl who looked a little like his aunt.

This inexplicable emotion made King Qing feel even worse, and he said coldly when he opened his mouth: "Miss Kou, Xiao Wang doesn't like to show off, so I just said it straight."

Xin You held the teacup, leaned forward slightly, and made a gesture of listening carefully: "His Royal Highness, please speak."

King Qing was also playing with the teacup, but he didn't intend to take a sip: "Miss Kou told Dai Ze that my uncle's death was related to me, what does that mean?"

There was nervousness on the girl's face: "Did Mr. Dai tell His Royal Highness King Qing?"

"These are not important." Prince Qing looked impatient, "Xiao Wang just wants to know, what does my uncle's death have to do with me!"

Xin Youzai looked at King Qing carefully.

Prince Qing sneered: "Is Miss Kou looking at Xiao Wang's face?"

Xin You pursed her lips, her expression calmed down: "It seems His Highness King Qing doesn't believe this. Since you don't believe it, Your Highness, please go back."

Let go of the hand playing with the teacup, and slapped it on the table. At this moment, the obviously handsome face was only cruel: "This king calls you 'Miss Kou', you really take yourself seriously! You What is it, dare to be proud of yourself in front of this king!"

In the small reception room, without a third person, King Qing released his condescension and meanness without any scruples.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the girl's face showed the indignation of being humiliated: "Ministers dare not be arrogant in front of His Highness King Qing. But since His Highness Qing doesn't believe it, why waste time with me."

Seeing her getting up and about to go out, King Qing grabbed her and said, "Stop! Does this king allow you to go?"

Pulling and pulling, the two are close at hand.

King Qing was three inches taller than Xinyou. Although he was not as tall as the crown, the skeleton of a man was not comparable to that of a girl.

The pressure of the past few days, the urgency to know the truth, the sense of being offended by the girl in front of her who is not obedient, and the common-sense cognition of her absolute superiority in physical strength, all these factors add up to make the girl who is not familiar enough and has not gained King Qing's trust. Xin You got the chance to get close to the target.

"His Royal Highness Prince Qing, if you embarrass me like a little girl, aren't you afraid that it will affect your reputation?"

These words made King Qing even more annoyed: "You still dare to threaten this king?"

He pinched the girl's chin with one hand and tightened it without hesitation: "I really don't understand, what gave you the confidence to be neither humble nor arrogant in front of this king? Princess Zhaoyang? Or the 5 taels you donated... "

These sarcastic words entered Xin You's ears without leaving any trace in her heart.She maintained an expression of anger and humiliation on her face, but her mind was astonishingly calm, and she quietly raised one hand when King Qing was talking more and more freely.

Between her fingers is a sharp blade as thin as a cicada's wing, as long as the irritated man's throat is wiped——

There was a sound, followed by shouts from King Qing's attendants: "Stop! Be bold!"

Xin You and Prince Qing looked at each other.

Outside the door of the reception room that had been kicked open, He Qingxiao's red clothes remained the same, her eyebrows and eyes were like snow, and her eyes were fixed on the two of them.

The distance between the two is very close, even if they are startled by his sudden intrusion, they can still see that the sword is on the verge of breaking out.

King Qing threw his hand away, and walked over angrily: "He Qingxiao, what do you mean?"

The person who was still guarding him outside the door dared to kick the door in. Is He Qingxiao crazy?
After being offended one after another, King Qing's anger rose to the extreme.

Facing the angry King Qing, He Qingxiao calmly cupped his hands: "I don't know that the person inside is His Highness Qing, and I hope His Highness will forgive you."

"I don't know? Didn't you see the king's attendants outside the door?"

He Qingxiao followed King Qing's gaze to look at the two attendants, and said calmly: "I am in a hurry to handle the case. Seeing that these two people were dressed in ordinary clothes, I didn't recognize them as His Highness's attendants, and they didn't declare their identities. I'm really sorry for disturbing His Highness."

"You—" King Qing wanted to lose his temper, and looked at He Qingxiao, who was wearing a vermilion official uniform, and Jin Linwei, who was following behind him, and held back.

Jin Linwei's handling of cases can be big or small, and it is easy to be bitten back if it is stained.

As the door of the reception room opened and Jin Linwei appeared, the atmosphere that Xin You deliberately created disappeared, and King Qing's sanity returned.

"Xiao Wang can't figure out why Master Hou broke into Miss Kou's reception room when he was handling the case." King Qing looked at He Qingxiao, then at Xin You, and asked meaningfully.

Faced with such questions, He Qingxiao calmly said, "Just because the matter to be investigated may have something to do with Ms. Kou, I need to bring Ms. Kou back to the Yamen for questioning."

King Qing's heart skipped a beat when he thought of Jin Linwei who had been haunting the streets these past few days, and he lost most of his doubts about He Qingxiao's words.

He Qingxiao cupped his hands: "If His Highness Prince Qing has nothing else to do, I will take Miss Kou away."

King Qing turned his body sideways: "It's nothing, I just came to ask Miss Kou if Mr. Songling has any new stories."

Speaking of this, he took a deep look at Xinyou: "Miss Kou, do you think so?"

Xin You lowered his eyes and trembled obviously. It took him a long time to utter one word: "Yes."

King Qing was somewhat satisfied with this reaction.

If he had recognized his weakness from the very beginning, and hadn't put on an air of being neither humble nor overbearing in front of him, it wasn't that he couldn't listen to her nonsense patiently.

"Miss Kou, I haven't finished asking about the new book. Xiao Wang will come to ask for advice another day." King Qing strode away after finishing speaking.

He Qingxiao spoke, breaking the brief silence: "Miss Kou, let's go."

Xin You followed behind him, walked out of the bookstore without saying a word, and was taken to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.

This was the first time she had entered such a place, and she remained expressionless from the moment she entered to being taken into a room.

He Qingxiao signaled his subordinates to retreat, and there were only two people left in the room.

He looked at her for a long time before asking softly, "Miss Kou, is there... no one you care about in this world?"
