Chapter 5 The man with the knife in his heart

That evening, a cold wind penetrated into the carriage, Qin Jue's eyelashes trembled and he suddenly opened his eyes!

"woke up?"

A soft voice came from her. Qin Jue subconsciously looked at her and saw Xie Linlang sitting beside him. He was looking at him. Seeing him get up, she raised her wrist and poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

"It's good to wake up. Come and drink some hot water to moisten your throat."

Seeing her, Qin Jue's memories before he fell into his mind.

It was Xie Linlang who saved him? How could she appear here? Didn’t she go to the northern part of the disaster relief? Even if she returns to Beijing, the imperial master will not let her come to him unless the imperial master asked her to come?

All kinds of suspicion flashed through his mind. He avoided the tea handed over by Xie Linlang, and his eyes looked straight into her eyes like a sharp blade.

"...Xie Linlang, why are you here?"

Seeing that he was very resistant and full of hostility, Xie Linlang was stunned for a moment. To be honest, although a lot of things had happened in the past six months, she did not expect that Qin Jue would be so hostile when facing her.

She held the tea and took a sip on her own before saying.

"Your Highness, don't be too careful. The reason why I am here is that I come here on your order and escort you to Xiangcheng."

Qin Jue laughed softly when he heard this.

"...You have a master who loves you so much, and will you still receive such a task?"

He was a deposed prince, and was betrayed by his relatives and guilty, while Xie Linlang was the new crown prince in the imperial court and the top scholar in Jinke. No one should have sent her to the emperor.

Xie Linlang shook his head, "Your Majesty sent me at the beginning, it was not me, I was coming by myself."

"Why?"

"Because, repay the kindness."

Her words made Qin Jue stop and repay his kindness? He doesn't remember that he had done kindness to Xie Linlang.

Xie Linlang didn't plan to hide it anymore, and said directly.

"You didn't ask me before, why I was very nice to you when I met for the first time? In fact, the reason is very simple, because your mother once saved me."

"Seven years ago, the Queen saved my life, and she helped me change my name and surname so that I could start over."

"In order not to expose my past events, the Queen also made an agreement with me that even if I meet again, I will only pretend that I didn't know each other before, so there are very few people who know that she has saved me.

But I have always remembered this life-saving grace and recreational love in my heart, just..."

It was just because of various reasons that I couldn't report it to the queen.

She paused, looked at Qin Jue and said, "Anyway, you just need to know that I am not only your friend, but also owed your mother the kindness.

Now that she is gone, I will come to you. No matter what kind of situation you are in or how difficult it will be in the future, I don’t care, because I want to repay my kindness.”

She spoke seriously and her expression was very serious, but after hearing this, Qin Jue was stunned, she smiled in a low voice.

“Repay kindness…”

He murmured, his tone of indescribable mockery.

Regardless of whether what she said was true or not... Of course, she didn't need to lie to him in this situation, but did she repay her kindness a little too late?

I remember how many people she had helped before, his mother took him away and left the capital. In order not to be captured by the emperor, the emperor always asked for help from the help of others?

But most of those people avoided them, and some even went to the capital to report their situation, making them even more difficult!

In the end, if the Anbu had not found them first and fought to protect each other, they would have never escaped the border of Qin...

How desperate was his mother at that time?

When she was alive, she did not meet someone who could repay her kindness. As a result, she died, but suddenly someone appeared to repay her kindness.

How ridiculous and ridiculous?

He coughed with a smile, and Xie Linlang quickly handed him the teacup in his hand. This time he did not refuse and drank it all in one go.

After the burning sensation of his throat faded, he looked at her and asked in a hoarse voice.

"...Xie Linlang, I wonder if you have heard a story?"

"What story?"

Qin Jue coughed and whispered.

"It's a story of repaying kindness."

“…It is said that there was a pair of brothers who had to ask for help because of famine and no food.

The brother said that he was going to ask for help from the family he had helped, while the younger brother said that he was going to ask for help from the family he had helped him, and then the two separated.

Guess...who survived the two brothers in the end?"

Xie Linlang frowned and said nothing.

"It's my brother."

Qin Jue didn't keep it a secret and directly revealed the mystery.

"Because of those who are willing to help others, he is more soft-hearted. He may have been helping others all the time, and the people who are helped... Who knows if he is a human being in his bones? Will he repay his kindness with grudges?

Maybe he had a knife hidden in his heart and was only prepared to take it out and kill people when necessary, even if that person was his benefactor."

As he said, he suddenly approached and asked with his right hand wrapped in gauze, holding up Xie Linlang's face.

"Will you be the one with a knife in your heart?"

"Everyone in the world is evil, but you say you come with goodness. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

As he said that, he really laughed, his eyes full of mockery.

Upon hearing this, Xie Linlang looked up at him deeply.

"Everyone in the world is evil, and many people will repay their kindness, but how can you be sure that I am not the one who can repay kindness?"

She asked for granted, and her voice was serious and firm, "I thought you knew me enough when you grew up together. So that's how you miss me?"

Looking at her overly bright and undodged eyes, Qin Jue gradually stopped smiling and narrowed his eyes.

To put it, the person in front of me has always been in a righteous manner since childhood... As long as it is something she believes, she will not repent, and even nine cows can't help but do things, but so what? He doesn't need it!

Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he withdrew his hand and leaned back.

"You're right, what if you're an exception?"

He coughed a few more times and said in a low voice, "... Then think you are here to repay your kindness, but you saved my life before, and you have to resist the grudges. You no longer owe my mother."

Seeing him keeping people from thousands of miles away like this, Xie Linlang was a little surprised.

It was obvious that their relationship was pretty good before, so they needed to reject her so much?

"Saving you before was a matter of my duty! I will send you to Xiangcheng. As for how to repay your kindness, I have my own plans, so you won't have to worry about it."

Seeing that she was foolishly trying to jump into the pit, Qin Jue's eyes looked cold and stared at her and asked.

"What exactly should you give up the ridiculous idea of ​​repaying kindness?"

Xie Linlang swept his wounds and his voice suddenly became very low.

"Unless you prove to me, you can protect yourself."

She took it for granted, serious and serious.

But the posture of the protector and the care that he inadvertently showed made Qin Jue feel uncomfortable all over his body as if he was stabbed by a needle!

It's really ridiculous. He has been dragged into the abyss and is bound to be doomed! Why are there still fools who have inexplicably bumped into him?

He sneered, "So, are you going to bet with me?"

"What bet?"

Qin Jue coughed a few times, squinted his eyes and looked out the window.

"My injuries were all done by those outside. If I could prevent them from hurting me anymore, would it prove that I don't need you to repay your kindness?"

Xie Linlang shook his head, "They are all poisoned, so it is natural to deal with them. If you meet an assassin again, can you escape unscathed?"

"Then if I escape unstoppable, will you disappear from me?"

His aggressive attitude made Xie Linlang pause for a moment. Without waiting for her to answer, a noisy sound came from outside.
