The Crown Prince I’m Raising Has Turned Evil

Chapter 5 The Man With a Knife in His Heart

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

"woke up?"

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

"Just wake up, come, drink some hot water, moisten your throat."

Seeing her, all the memories before Qin Jue's coma came into his mind.

Was it Xie Linlang who saved him? How could she be here? Didn't she go to the Northland for disaster relief? Even if she returns to the capital, it is impossible for the emperor to let her come to him, unless the emperor asked her to come?

All kinds of suspicions flashed in his mind, he avoided the tea that Xie Linlang handed over, his eyes were like sharp blades, and looked straight into her eyes.

"...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 many things happened in the past six months, she never thought that Qin Jue would be so hostile when facing her.

She held the tea, turned her hand and took a sip before speaking.

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. The reason why I am here is to come here by His Majesty's order to escort you to Xiangcheng."

Qin Jue let out a low laugh when he heard this.

"...you have a master who loves you so much, why would you still receive this kind of task?"

He is an abolished crown prince, betrayed by many relatives, and put on the body of a sin, while Xie Linlang is an upstart before the imperial court, the number one scholar in the Jinke, and no one sent by the emperor should send her.

Xie Linlang shook her head, "It was indeed not me who was sent by His Majesty at first, but I wanted to come by myself."

"Why?"

"Because, to repay the favor."

Qin Jue paused at her words, repaying her kindness? He didn't remember that he had ever done kindness to Xie Linlang.

And Xie Linlang didn't intend to hide any more, and said directly.

"Didn't you ask me before, why did I treat you so well when we first met? The reason is actually very simple, because your mother once saved me."

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

"In order not to expose my past, the empress made an agreement with me that even if we meet again, we will just treat it as if we didn't know each other before, so there are very few people who know that she saved me.

But this life-saving grace, the feeling of rebuilding, I have always remembered it in my heart, it's just..."

It's just that due to various reasons, it was not reported 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 owe your mother's 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 you. "

She spoke seriously, with a serious expression on her face, but after hearing this, Qin Jue was stunned, and then laughed hoarsely.

"Thank you..."

He murmured in an indescribably mocking tone.

Regardless of whether what she said is true or not...Of course, she doesn't need to lie to him in his situation, but is it too late for her to repay her kindness?

Thinking back when his mother took him to escape and left the capital, in order not to be taken back by the emperor along the way, the always helpful mother begged how many people she had helped before?

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

In the end, if Anbu hadn't found them first and tried to protect them, they would never have escaped to the border of Qin State...

At that time, how desperate was his mother?

When she was alive, she didn't meet anyone who would repay her kindness, but when she died, someone suddenly appeared to repay her kindness.

How ironic, how ridiculous?

He laughed so hard that he coughed, Xie Linlang quickly handed him the teacup in his hand, this time he didn't refuse, and drank it down in one gulp.

After the burning sensation in his throat subsided, 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 said in a low voice.

"It's a story of gratitude."

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

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

Guess...the last two brothers, who survived? "

Xie Linlang frowned and said nothing.

"It's my brother."

Qin Jue didn't hold back, and directly revealed the answer to the mystery.

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

Maybe he has a knife hidden in his heart, and he is only ready to use it to kill people when necessary, even if that person is a benefactor. "

As he spoke, he approached suddenly, cupped Xie Linlang's face with his gauze-wrapped right hand and asked.

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

"Everyone in the world is evil, but you say you came here with kindness in mind, don't you find it ridiculous?"

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

Hearing this, Xie Linlang looked up at him deeply.

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

She asked it as a matter of course, and her voice was serious and firm, "I thought you had grown up with me, and you knew me well enough. So, that's what you think of me?"

Seeing her overly bright eyes without dodging, Qin Jue gradually stopped laughing and narrowed his eyes.

Speaking of which, the person in front of her has always had this upright and awe-inspiring appearance since she was a child... As long as it is something she believes in, she will not repent, and what she wants to do is even more difficult to pull back, but so what? He does not 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 are a special case?"

He coughed a few more times, and said in a low voice, "...Then consider it that you are here to repay your kindness, but you saved my life before, and the gratitude and resentment are equal, and you don't owe my mother any more."

Seeing him rejecting people thousands of miles away like this, Xie Linlang was a little worried.

They had a pretty good relationship before, why should they reject her like this?

"It was my duty to save you before! I will send you to Xiangcheng. As for how to repay your kindness, I have my own plan, so I don't need to worry about it."

Seeing her foolishly insisting on jumping into the pit, Qin Jue stared at her with cold eyes and asked.

"Then how will you give up the ridiculous idea of ​​repaying your kindness?"

Xie Linlang swept over his wounds, and her voice became very low.

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

She said it as a matter of course, serious and serious.

But that protector's posture, as well as the inadvertent expression of concern, made Qin Jue feel uncomfortable all over his body, as if being pricked by a needle!

It's really ridiculous, obviously he has been dragged into the abyss forever! Why are there still fools who want to bump into it for no reason?

He sneered, "So, you want to bet with me?"

"What bet?"

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

"My injuries were all caused by those people outside. If I can prevent them from hurting me again, will it prove that I don't need your gratitude at all?"

Xie Linlang shook her head, "They're all poisoned, so it's easy to deal with. If you meet an assassin again, can you get away with it?"

"Then if I retreat completely, will you be able to disappear from my presence?"

His aggressive attitude made Xie Linlang pause for a moment, and before she could answer, there were loud noises outside.
