Because I don't want to see you! Qu Ling secretly rolled his eyes, and retorted: "How do you know this is the Minister of War Palace?"

As a resident of the capital, she did not realize it. How did a person who only came back once every ten years or so know about it?

Xiao Jingyue would naturally not tell her, it was the Xiao Er who told him, he only looked at the closed door and said softly: "I have always told you that the late master and his wife have a deep affection for each other, I did not know that you would actually come into contact with a woman like Huo Xinyi in private."

Qu Ling gave him a meaningful look, "There are a lot of things you don't know."

"For example?"

"The old man from Caoital Officials has a wife and eight concubines, and the eighth concubine is younger than his granddaughter. The concubine gave him a son last year, and his son is younger than the son of his eldest grandson. "

"…"

Xiao Jingyue retracted his gaze, and said indifferently: "Go back."

Minister of War Palace was not like Caoital Officials Palace, they would scout as they pleased. If they wanted to continue their investigation, they would need to think things over carefully, they could not afford to be impatient.

Qu Ling looked at the Minister of War Mansion with reluctance, and quickly caught up with Xiao Jingyue.

The seventeenth day of every month was the day the Gu Worm woke up in Xiao Jingyue's body. Usually, he would start his closed door cultivation at the time he was born the night before.

In the past, there were Godly Doctor Gu watching Xiao Jingyue's closed door cultivation. Although he was not in Godly Doctor Gu this time, because the Gu Worm had awoken once before, the power of this fifteenth moon awakening was not so strong. Xiao Jingyue could pass it alone.

Not long after they entered the study, servants came in one after another with food and placed them on the round table.

Qu Ling's eyes lit up, and immediately sat down: "Coincidentally, I also haven't had dinner."

Xiao Jingyue glanced at her but he did not stop her. He walked to the seat opposite of her and sat down.

The food was still warm, the delicious Qu Ling's tears filled, and she said from the bottom of her heart: "I've been to General Mansion for so many days, it's the first time I've eaten General Mansion's food!"

"…" Xiao Jingyue cast a cold glance at her, "Are you blaming this general for not giving you food?"

Qu Ling shrunk his neck, hugged his bowl, and said with a guilty conscience, "Absolutely not."

Xiao Jingyue retracted his gaze, and no longer paid any attention to her.

Green Snake who was wrapped up in Qu Ling's embrace smelled the fragrance of the food, he twisted his body and crawled out from his clothes, spitting out the snake's tongue and climbing onto the table.

Qu Ling quickly glanced at Xiao Jingyue and picked up a piece of fish from the bowl with his chopsticks.

Green Snake immediately rushed forward and started to gobble down the food.

Although the Jade Scorpions and Blood Spiders did not eat humans' food, they couldn't help but feel nervous after staying in Qu Ling's embrace for a long time.

Not long after, the Jade Scorpion and the Blood Spider also came out from Qu Ling's embrace, lying on the left and right sides of the Green Snake's body, watching it eat.

When Xiao Jingyue put down his chopsticks, what he saw was exactly this scene.

The veins on his forehead were bulging nonstop, as if he had spent a lifetime of patience trying to stop himself from knocking over the table.

On the night of their wedding, she only had a green snake on her body. The next day, she went out to bring back a green scorpion, and now, she inexplicably carried a blood spider.

Perhaps before the parasite's poison could be detoxified, his General Mansion would become her Poison Worm Cave!

Xiao Jingyue was so angry that his temples hurt, his chest expanded and contracted violently, he looked at Qu Ling and shouted: "If you let this general see you eating with all these poisons, you don't have to eat anymore."

Qu Ling swallowed the food in his mouth, he wanted to ask why, but seeing Xiao Jingyue's terrifying look, he could only swallow his words.

The three poisonous objects seemed to have noticed that Xiao Jingyue didn't like them, and they self-consciously climbed back into Qu Ling's clothes without waiting for Qu Ling to reach out and grab them, as if they treasured their lives.

A quarter of an hour later, a servant pushed open the door and began to clear the table of leftovers.

Xiao Jingyue took the teacup offered to him by the Xiao Er, then turned it on the table in front of Qu Ling, and opened the secret room.

Walking down the secret passage, Qu Ling looked around and was surprised, "How did you know there was a secret room here?"

Xiao Jingyue lit the candle and said: "This mansion used to be my father's residence."

This mansion had always been the General Mansion, and Southern Guarding Prince had lived here ever since he was a Great General.

Qu Ling acknowledged, and did not ask further.

The floor was uneven, only a bed and a chair were placed against the wall. There was nothing valuable to see, but at the end of the room, there was a pool of clear water with a few tender green leaves floating on it. It should be some kind of living water.

The secret chamber looked completely different from the underground secret chamber that was filled with treasures. It looked just like an underground bath …

Qu Ling sat on a stool and looked bored to death at Xiao Jingyue who was meditating by the side of the lake.

It was said that the Gu Worm would eat flesh when it woke up, it was so painful that it wished it was dead. Qu Ling could not wait to see Xiao Jingyue's painful expression, but time passed bit by bit, she was so bored that she almost fell asleep.

Qu Ling even started to suspect if Xiao Jingyue remembered the date wrongly. Although she didn't know the pattern of the Gu Worm's awakening, she knew that all the protagonists in the novel were fifteen years old and that it didn't make sense for Xiao Jingyue to be seventeen.

Qu Ling could not help but ask: "Xiao Jingyue, did you really remember the wrong date?"

Xiao Jingyue did not reply.

She was used to his indifferent attitude, so she didn't take it to heart.

After staying quiet for a while, Qu Ling asked again, "If I can cure the poison in your body, what benefits would you give me?"

Xiao Jingyue's eyelashes moved slightly, and after a long while, she finally said indifferently: I'll give you back your freedom, how about it?

Qu Ling was startled, and smirked: "So it's like that, very good."
