He Qingxiao said this plainly, but it cast a thunderbolt in Xin You's heart.

She said the same thing to He Qingxiao not long ago.

At that time, she was impulsive and wanted to do it directly. These words were the excuse she gave after approaching He Qingxiao, but now what is the meaning of He Qingxiao saying the same thing?
Did he sense her thoughts?

Xin You was not sure, she raised her eyes to meet He Qingxiao's.

The man's beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, making it hard to see the depth.

Xin You clasped her hands together, without any strange expression on her face: "Thank you, Mr. He, for reminding me. Has the person who poisoned you been found?"

"I found it."

Xin You raised her eyebrows, a little surprised that He Qingxiao answered so briskly.

"It's good if we can find out, so as not to harm Mr. He in the future."

Xin You thought that this topic would end here, but she didn't want to.

"Miss Kou, do you still remember the reminder from that day?" He Qingxiao's tone was very light, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, "When I arrested an official, he attacked him with a dagger hidden in his sleeve, and the person who poisoned the tea was His nephew..."

Xin You listened silently, guessing what He Qingxiao meant by saying this to her.

Judging from the absence of any rumors in the past few days, He Qingxiao did not intend to spread the poisoning incident.

"Miss Kou."

"Sir He, tell me."

He Qingxiao's eyes were deep, and they fell on the girl's face as white as jade, and she couldn't miss a slight change in her expression: "Didn't you figure out what happened that day in the teahouse?"

Xinyou's heart skipped a beat twice.

Although she tried her best to control her expression, she knew that the other party must have noticed something strange.

He Qingxiao really suspected her!
Her hands tightened, her nails dug into her palms, keeping her calm.

"Master He doesn't know something. My physiognomy is different from ordinary physiognomy. I don't only calculate a person's fortune or misfortune based on facial features, but also rely on mystical aura."

"Mysterious aura?"

Xin You nodded: "So this will cause a problem."

"what is the problem?"

Xin You said sternly, "Time works and time doesn't work."

He Qingxiao was silent, and said with a very complicated mood: "Miss Kou's two reminders to me are very effective."

Xinyou showed an embarrassed smile: "When it doesn't work, I usually don't say it."

He Qingxiao: "..."

The suspicion in his heart didn't dissipate, but he couldn't find any evidence.

Perhaps just like Miss Kou said, he also appeared here based on intuition and asked these words.

That day in the teahouse, he stood on the stairs and looked at Miss Kou sitting in the corner, and a thought came to his mind: Miss Kou knew.

Just like she knew that he would encounter a flower pot falling from the sky when he was walking on the street, and that he would encounter a dagger stabbing him when he was holding someone.She must also know what kind of crisis he went through just upstairs.

It was self-evident what her silence meant.

But what he couldn't figure out was why Miss Kou's attitude towards him had changed drastically.

After a while of silence, He Qingxiao smiled lightly: "A physiognomy is really mysterious."

"Does Master He want to read the travel notes?" Xin You secretly raised her heart and did not let go, but there was a light smile on her face.

He Qingxiao took a deep look at the row of travel notes on the bookshelf, and shook his head: "No, I'm still busy. I came here today to talk about the follow-up with Ms. Kou, and I also thank Ms. Kou for her discovery that day."

"Master He, you are being polite. It was purely a coincidence that I noticed that day."

"Then I'll take my leave." He Qingxiao's eyes flickered on Xinyou's face, and he strode out.

Xin You watched the figure disappear, and she caressed a book of travel notes with her downcast eyes.

He Qingxiao suspected her, so what should I do next?
Her hand stopped, and her eyes fell on the travel book for a long time.

If poison is applied to the travel notes he often reads——

This idea flashed by, but Xin You denied it.

It is a serious sin to hurt others by mistake.

What's more, the bookstore is clean and the people in the bookstore are innocent, so she can't implicate them for personal grudges.

After much deliberation, Xin You decided to make a bold move.

He Qingxiao is used to reading alone when he comes to the bookstore, so he might have a chance on the way out.

Xin You thought that He Qingxiao would not come again in a short time after this meeting, but he didn't expect that he would appear in the bookstore again in just two days.

It was Xiao Lian who quietly reported to Xin You: "Girl, Master He is reading again."

"Got it, go get busy."

Xin You walked into the back room, took out a set of men's clothes from the cabinet and changed them on, and daubed them in front of the vanity mirror, turning the beautiful girl into a handsome boy.

There is even a shallow scar on the forehead of the boy, no one would have guessed that this is actually a girl.

Looking at the person in the vanity mirror, Xin You nodded in satisfaction.

She likes to run around, sometimes it is inconvenient to pretend to be like this, but fortunately, her makeup skills are not unfamiliar.

It was dusk outside the window, and the setting sun was about to set. The handsome young man walked to the street and looked back at Qingsong Bookstore.

Since the business of the bookstore has improved, this Mr. He almost only reads books in the early morning or evening.

Near the Imperial College, there are a lot of handsome teenagers like Xin You in disguise. She can be said to be inconspicuous standing on the street, which naturally provides great convenience for her future actions.

Xin You, who was dressed in men's clothing, even changed her walking posture. She walked into a tea shop openly, chose a seat by the window, and drank tea slowly.

Although He Qingxiao often came to the bookstore to read books, he didn't stay for long each time, usually not more than half an hour, and about two quarters of an hour was normal.

Xin You expected that the wait time would not be too long, and sure enough, He Qingxiao walked out of the bookstore not long after drinking a cup of tea.

She paid the bill and walked out of the tea shop.

There are many shops on both sides of the street, which is very lively in the evening.Xin You naturally blended into the crowd and followed behind He Qingxiao.

After following this for a certain distance, after she had done her homework, she realized that this was the way back to the Marquis of Changle, so she decided to speed up her pace and walked to the front.

There is a small alley not far after the turn ahead, and there is a jujube tree at the entrance of the alley, which can somewhat block the line of sight and is a good place to ambush.

Xin You hid behind the tree, touched the sleeve arrow tied to the inside of her forearm, and waited patiently for He Qingxiao's arrival.

Not long after, that familiar figure appeared in sight.

Xin You held her breath and stared intently at the approaching figure.

One step, two steps, three steps...

Finally, he reached the most suitable position.

With long and slender fingers, she moved the butterfly piece on the arrow box, and the hidden arrow flew out.

At that moment, Xin You's heart was empty, all kinds of emotions had been firmly suppressed by her, and only numb calm remained on her face.

She watched helplessly as the dark arrow flew towards He Qingxiao, but failed to sink into his throat as she wished.

He avoided it!
Realizing this, Xin You turned and ran.

The alley is dark and long, with light coming from another street ahead, and footsteps chasing behind.

Xin You rushed out from the other end of the alley.
