I don't know if it was a coincidence or something, but just when Xin You was staring at Chang Qing, Chang Qing's eyes were like lightning and he glanced over.

Xin You stood in the crowd, so naturally he couldn't find his target. The officer noticed his movements and shouted: "Be honest!"

The scorching sun hung high in the sky, and both the prisoners kneeling and waiting for death and the spectators were sweating profusely.

Xin You noticed the eyes falling on her, raised her hand to cut her hair and swept it away with her peripheral vision, and saw the person staring at her closely.

He was a tall young man who looked familiar. He should be one of the Jinlin Guards that Master He lent her that time.

Xin You looked completely unaware and turned to leave. After taking a few steps, two people appeared and blocked the way.

One of the two people was the familiar Jinlin Guard, and the other person came from another direction and was just out of the range of her peripheral vision.

"Jinlinwei." The tall Jinlinwei flashed his badge, "Young Master, please come with us."

Another Jinlin guard kept a close eye on Xin You to prevent the person in front of him from resisting and escaping.

Behind Xin You, two more Jinlin guards gathered here.

These Jinlin Guards did not come for the young man who was suspected of being Mr. Song Ling from the beginning, but in such crowded and chaotic situations, Jinlin Guards in casual clothes would always sneak in to grasp information and monitor the situation.

Xin You had expected this, so he appeared at the execution ground as Mr. Song Ling.

Since people are saying that Mr. Songling is the Queen's wife, it is reasonable for Mr. Songling to come to watch the execution because the man who killed the Queen is beheaded today.

She lowered her head slightly and walked out with several Jinlin guards. Because of her cooperation, no one noticed.

Several Jinlin guards did not dare to be careless. They surrounded the people from front to back, left and right, wishing they could fly back to the Yamen in an instant.After Xin You was stuffed into the carriage, he breathed a sigh of relief. A Jin Lin Guard drove the carriage and ran away. Two Jin Lin Guards squeezed into the small carriage. Their eyes never left Xin You. .

Xin You sat expressionless, letting them look at her.

She was prepared for what kind of scene Mr. Songling would face, and she had also considered what kind of image Mr. Songling would present to others.

Unlike Miss Kou, who sometimes needs to act cute and sweet, Mr. Songling, who avenges the queen alone, is brave, calm, and unyielding.If she behaves anxiously and nervously, it will make people feel disobedient.

Mr. Songling is more similar to her before.

The carriage ran very fast, and not long after, Beizhen Fusi Yamen arrived.

"Get out of the car!" A Jinlin guard whispered with a warning.

Xin You silently walked out of the carriage and entered Beizhen Fusi again, where she met He Qingxiao, the highest official in the yamen.

"Sir, the person suspected to be in the portrait was found at the execution site in West City!" Jinlin Guards, who brought Xin You here, reported to He Qingxiao, unable to conceal his excitement.

They had been looking for the person in the portrait for a long time. They wished they could dig up the ground in the capital, but they made no progress.Unexpectedly, I accidentally found him in the West Market today. Once it is confirmed that this person is the person in the portrait, this will be a great achievement.

Compared with the excitement of his men, He Qingxiao's mood was much more complicated, including surprise, helplessness, and a hint of enlightenment.

"Sir?" After reporting, his subordinates saw He Qingxiao was still silent and shouted in confusion.

Could it be that the wrong person was arrested?
No, this boy is obviously very similar to the person in the portrait.

He Qingxiao suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said calmly: "You guys should step aside first. This matter is confidential and I want to interrogate it personally." "Yes."

All the men in the hall retreated, leaving only two people.

Their eyes met, and after a long time, He Qingxiao asked: "Should I call you Mr. Songling, or Mr. Xin?"

The meaning of these words is to ask Xin You how to arrange the relationship between Mr. Song Ling and Mr. Xin.

Xin You understood what he meant and said calmly: "I am both Mr. Songling and Mr. Xin."

No one in this world has seen Mr. Songling, but many people have seen Mr. Xin.At this time, it was admitted that Mr. Songling who wrote "Journey to the West" was Mr. Xin, which would be most convenient for her to act in the future.

"I understand." He Qingxiao's expression changed. She looked at the handsome young man and sighed softly, "Miss Kou, why are you doing this?"

Xin You smiled: "Since I have decided to stay in the capital, I have to face what I have to face. Instead of using my identity as Miss Kou, I would rather be myself."

I had no choice but to borrow Miss Kou's identity before, so I tried to do it slowly.Now that that person knows the existence of Mr. Xin, the Shaoqing Mansion is not worried about causing trouble. Being Mr. Xin makes it easier to investigate the mastermind who killed his mother.

There was another point that Xin You had never revealed to anyone. After experiencing the taste of whipping here, she became sober: Either leave the capital, a place of right and wrong, and it would not be difficult to live a life of ease with her abilities.If she chooses to stay, relying solely on her status as the cousin of the Shaoqing Mansion, even with the favor of Princess Zhaoyang and others, she will still be too weak when facing off against the real powerful.

To that person, Miss Kou, who had a well-known reputation, was just one of the countless outstanding people. Once she faced someone or something that person cared about, she would be insignificant.

"Miss Kou, have you really thought about it?"

"Do I still have a chance to regret it?" Xin You asked with a smile.

He Qingxiao lowered her voice: "If Miss Kou regrets, she will have a chance."

Xinyou was silent for a moment and shook his head: "In this case, how should Mr. He explain it? I don't want your future and life? Now that I have made a decision, I will not hesitate and repeat it. I can also give Mr. He a credit. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ?”

He Qingxiao saw that Xin You was determined. Although he didn't want her to get involved in the muddy water, he could only respect it: "I feel sorry for Mr. Xin to stay here for a while. I want to go to the palace."

With the words "Mr. Xin", those days of pure peace between the owner of Qingsong Bookstore and the book-loving Mr. He are gone forever. From now on, it is Mr. Xin who is suspected to be the legitimate prince and Commander He who is in charge of Beizhen Fusi.

Before leaving, He Qingxiao took a deep look at Xin You.

Although she is disguised as a man, her words and deeds are not that of a woman. Even her voice is different, with the clarity of a young man.

He Qingxiao nodded slightly to Xin You, left Beizhen Fusi and went straight to the palace city.

Emperor Xingyuan was reading Buddhist scriptures at this time.

Taoism and Buddhism have a long history. Some emperors valued Taoism, and some emperors valued Buddhism. The emperor's emphasis determined the status of Taoism and Buddhism in the current dynasty.Emperor Xingyuan, the founding emperor who was born as a commoner, was different from his predecessors. He generally believed in whomever he needed and was very pragmatic.

Reading the Buddhist scriptures at this time was just because there were too many heads to be chopped off in the past two days. Some of them were ministers who had been with him for many years, such as Pei Shilang and others, so he just browsed the Buddhist scriptures and calmed down.

"Your Majesty, Changle Marquis He Qingxiao is asking for an audience."

Emperor Xingyuan put down the Buddhist scriptures and said calmly: "Send him to come in."
