Xiaolian was nervous because of Duan Yunchen's words, but Xinyou remained calm.
"Of course people will change, especially after experiencing bad things." She looked at the drunken young man with a sneer on her lips, "Could it be that my eldest cousin hopes that I won't change? This is different from what my eldest cousin used to do. It feels different to me.”
At first, the Duan family didn't realize she wasn't Kou Qingqing, but after so long, they were no longer afraid.
Duan Yunchen was not stupid, so he naturally understood that these words were sarcastic. He hoped that the girl would always like him.
After all, he wanted to save face. The alcohol dissipated in the cool night breeze, he said goodbye awkwardly and left without looking back.
Xiaolian looked in the direction where Duan Yunchen was leaving and said, "Who is that person?"
He obviously didn't like the girl, but when he found out that she was cold to him and felt something was wrong, he was really cheap and panicked.
"There's no need to let irrelevant people affect your mood. Let's go back to the house."
"Yes." The little maid followed Xin You back to the east courtyard.
At this time, King Qing had just returned to Prince Qing's Mansion from Guchangbo Mansion.
Gu Changbo is still in mourning. As the only close nephew, Prince Qing, even if he is a prince, he still has to go there and show his face one day.
On the way back to the hospital, Prince Qing felt gloomy.
From the time his uncle's accident happened to now, he has never seen his father again, and he has no idea what his father's plans are. What exactly is Jinlinwei investigating? Is it related to the death of my uncle?
Too many questions weighed heavily on his mind like stones.
The March night wind carried the lake vapor and slowly blew people's clothes. It was cool and comfortable. Prince Qing subconsciously turned around and walked towards the artificial lake.
A white crane suddenly spreads its wings by the lake, causing ripples on the water.
Prince Qing paused, looking at the beautiful and quiet lake, and suddenly remembered Xin You's words asking him to pay attention to the water.
Although he thought it was nonsense, he could not help but feel a bit resentful. Prince Qing returned to the main courtyard with a sullen face.
It was night, and the bathroom was steaming with steam. After taking a bath to wash away his tiredness, Prince Qing stood up from the tub, wiped his body clean with the maid, and stepped out. The moment his feet hit the ground, he suddenly felt a pain in his calf, and before he knew it, he had already fallen to the ground.
"Your Highness!" The maidservant who didn't have time to help her fell to her knees in fright.
The maids responsible for wiping and the maids carrying a change of clothes were also frightened and fell to their knees.
Prince Qing, who was holding one hand on the ground, felt the stinging pain coming from his ankle. His expression was twisted with pain and anger: "You are a bunch of losers, why don't you help me up!"
The maids woke up from a dream and worked together to help King Qing stand up.
Prince Qing, who had put on clean clothes, was sitting on the bed. The good doctor who had been summoned in a hurry was dredging his sprain. He smelled the faint smell of medicine and remembered Xin You's words.
Injured by water...should this be the place? Read the book
Prince Qing's first reaction was a coincidence, but after thinking about it more, his expression gradually became serious.
I haven't slipped and fallen after taking a bath for many years, but it happened today, and I sprained my foot... Could it be that what my cousin said is true, and that Miss Kou can really tell the good and bad fortune from a person's face?
Prince Qing thought about it silently, and the more he thought about it, the more he became convinced. After I believed it, my desire to see Miss Kou became more and more urgent.
"Hiss——" The pain brought King Qing back from his thoughts.
Originally this was unavoidable when clearing a sprain, but the good doctor hurriedly apologized.
King Qing did not blame him, but asked: "Will my foot injury be recovered tomorrow?"
The good doctor was secretly surprised that King Hanqing did not blame him, and said: "Your Highness's sprain is not serious, but you need to rest for at least three days if you want to fully recover."
"Then you can't go out tomorrow?" King Qing was upset for a while, but he didn't embarrass Liang Jizheng and waved his hand to signal him to leave.
That night, King Qing did not sleep well, so he sent his attendants to Qingsong Bookstore early the next morning.
Since Miss Kou has superb physiognomy, can she judge the blessings and misfortunes caused by her uncle's accident through observing physiognomy?
"His Royal Highness, Prince Qing, invited me to the palace?" After hearing the palace attendant explain his intention, Xin You understood what happened in the picture.
Like a sprain
She had "seen" this kind of trivial matter countless times from different people, and usually chose to remain silent. In order to win the trust of Prince Qing, she had no choice but to speak out. Unexpectedly, it was verified that day.
With this speculation, Xin You became more and more calm and smiled apologetically at the palace attendant who was waiting for a response: "Sorry, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for me to go."
The palace attendant quickly asked why.
Xin You said calmly: "I am the owner of the bookstore, and it is my duty to help the guests solve their problems. But after all, I am a young woman, and I suddenly come to the door of Prince Qing's Mansion. If word spreads that I, a little commoner's daughter, am not worth mentioning, what if? If His Royal Highness Prince Qing's wisdom is ruined, it will be hard to redeem him by death."
The attendant did not invite anyone, but returned to the palace to convey Xinyou's words to King Qing.
In the past, Prince Qing would have been angry, but now that he believed in Miss Kou's fortune telling, things were different.
"Please invite Miss Kou to have tea at the teahouse not far from the palace."
Xinyou was invited again and did not refuse.
The teahouse not far from Prince Qing's Mansion was elegantly decorated and specially designed to entertain wealthy people. There was an elegant room specially reserved for Prince Qing.
When Xin You arrived, Prince Qing was already waiting for him.
"I have met His Highness Prince Qing."
"Miss Kou, there is no need to be polite." King Qing motioned to one of his attendants to guard outside, while the other one stayed in the private room.
He now has inconvenient legs and feet, so out of caution he would not rely on the man's innate advantage in physical strength.
After a period of silence, Prince Qing spoke: "Xiao Wang... sprained his foot yesterday."
Xin You said a few words of polite concern.
"Does Miss Kou know how Xiao Wang got sprained?" Prince Qing asked casually.
Xin You said calmly: "I slipped and sprained after taking a bath."
Prince Qing's casual scrutiny faded away, and his seventy-eight percent belief increased to ten.
His slipping last night was purely accidental, and it was impossible for Miss Kou to bribe anyone in the palace. There is no other reason why I can tell you the answer without thinking other than being really proficient in physiognomy.
"Miss Kou, Xiao Wang has a question to ask." Prince Qing leaned forward slightly, his expression solemn.
"Your Highness, please speak."
"You told Dai Ze that my uncle's death was related to me. Can you tell me more specifically?"
Xin You looked at it carefully for a moment and said after careful consideration: "A civilian girl can only see that it has something to do with the south."
South?
King Qing was stunned.
He knew in his heart that things in the north were not as smooth as they appeared on the surface, and his father would definitely be annoyed if he noticed.
But what can happen to the south?
When Prince Qing asked again, Xin You shook his head: "A civilian girl can only see so much for the time being. But -"
"But what?" Prince Qing asked immediately.
"His Highness has not yet finished being affected by this. His fortune has not been good since then. It is better to keep a low profile these days."
Before Mr. He gets results, stop making trouble.
"Xiao Wang knows."
Seeing that he couldn't find out anything more, King Qing ordered his attendants to escort Xin You out.
The master's attitude will naturally affect the servant's attitude. The servant sent Xin You out of the teahouse with a polite gesture: "Miss Kou, go slowly."
Xin You walked towards the carriage parked on the roadside and saw King Xiu walking towards him.
