Qu Ling was so angry that his entire body was trembling, but he forced a smile on his face: "I've never seen it before."

"Then why," Xiao Jingyue paused for a moment, and looked at the lady with a deeper and deeper gaze, "When Madame saw this hairpin, did her emotions become so agitated?"

Qu Ling tensed up and blurted out, "My husband has other women's belongings on him, why don't you allow me to be angry!"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

The secret room instantly became silent. Their gazes met, and a strange atmosphere started to swirl between the two of them.

Xiao Jingyue said with a smile that was not a smile, "Hubby?"

This expression was truly somewhat alluring. However, having seen Xiao Jingyue's terrifying appearance, which was covered in bloodstains, at this moment and at this moment, it was hard for her to continue being infatuated with him, she said with a straight face: "You heard wrong!"

"Did you hear wrongly?" Xiao Jingyue suddenly took a step forward, and approached Qu Ling.

Qu Ling's little face paled as she took the opportunity to take a step back, staring at this fellow warily, "Why are you so close?"

"The Madam has already said that this general is your husband. Can't your husband get a little closer to the Lady?"

Their noses were about to touch, but Xiao Jingyue's breath was lightly scattered on her face, scaring her to the point that she let out a cry.

Caught off guard, Xiao Jingyue was pushed right in the middle, and his body fell straight backwards.

Seeing that, Qu Ling subconsciously reached out to pull, but he did not. Instead, he was brought to the ground and pressed down onto Su Yun's body.

Qu Ling, "..."

The person below him didn't move at all. Qu Ling seemed to have realized something and quickly crawled up from his body.

This man's eyes were closed and his expression was calm. It seemed like what Xiao Er said was true, that he had fainted.

Qu Ling stared at Xiao Jingyue's face, his gaze quickly shifting downwards, landing on his firm chest.

A moment later, her pupils suddenly contracted as she extended her index finger towards his nose.

Then she grabbed his wrist and felt for his pulse.

No breathing, no pulse, what kind of sleep was this?

Qu Ling went to find Xiao Er with a darkened face, asking him what was going on.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Er replied in a very calm manner, "Madam, you don't have to worry.

Qu Ling, "..."

Was this called lethargy? Wasn't this faking death!?

Towards a subordinate like Xiao Jingyue who used random words and words, Qu Ling was afraid that his IQ would drop, so he stopped talking with him and turned back into the secret room.

Xiao Jingyue was quietly lying on the cold floor, and his clothes were sticking to his body all wet. If he were to wake up in six hours, he would probably catch a cold.

Qu Ling was afraid that Yue Yang would find him to settle the debt when he woke up, so he called for Xiao Er again to bring Yue Yang to the wooden bed.

It was already the latter half of the night, so Qu Ling did not feel sleepy like he did in the first half of the night.

Now that she and Xiao Jingyue had reached an agreement, since she agreed to help him cure the poison, she would do her best.

It was only a few hours, so it was nothing.

However, this person was already asleep, so why was he holding the hairpin so tightly?

Qu Ling tried for a long time, but was unable to pull the hairpin from his hand. In the end, she gave up on feeling discouraged.

Forget it. It was fine to steal the hairpin, but Xiao Jingyue must not know that she took it.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to admitting that the person who was bitten was her.

The feeling of just looking at a treasure and not getting anything no matter how hard he tried was not pleasant at all.

Furthermore, she had met two people who had faked their death in a single day. She was truly unlucky.

Wait —

Qu Ling suddenly opened his eyes wide and threw himself in front of Xiao Jingyue, examining him carefully.

There was no breathing, no pulse, no heartbeat, no body temperature. These symptoms were exactly the same as the Huo Xinyi before he died!

If Huo Xinyi had suffered as much as Xiao Jingyue just now, then these two people might have planted the same type of parasite.

Qu Ling took out the snake and scorpion from his embrace, just as he was about to let the Jade Scorpion take a closer look at the Gu Worm in Xiao Jingyue's body, it immediately hid itself in Qu Ling's embrace as soon as it came close to him. No matter how she tried to pull it out, Qu Ling could only give up.

Other than the Jade Scorpion, she did not have anything else that could test for the parasite on her. It seemed that she needed to find a time to return to the Prime Minister Mansion.

If it was really the same type of parasite, then continuing to search for the source of the Gu Worm in her body would allow Huo Xinyi to find the method to remove the parasite.

So, Xiao Jingyue was saved, and she was free.

The more Qu Ling thought about it, the happier he became.

Six hours later, Xiao Jingyue walked out of the study in high spirits.

Qu Ling yawned and followed behind him. The two of them went to the neighboring courtyard.

The red satin hanging on the bridal chamber had long since been torn apart, and now it appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary bedroom.

The two of them walked in, one in front and one behind, and Xiao Jingyue, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

Qu Ling also stopped and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Jingyue turned around, and looked at Qu Ling with a strange expression, "Where are you resting for the past few days?"

"Where else can I sleep? Of course I want to sleep here …" The words from Qu Ling's mouth suddenly stuck in his throat, his eyes opened wide, "Don't tell me you want to rest here too!"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

After being married for a few days, either Qu Ling would sleep in the study or Xiao Jingyue would sleep in the study, the two of them perfectly separated to return to their rooms to rest. It was only now did the two realise that they had been together for the past few days, resting in the same bedroom.

Xiao Jingyue turned around and walked out, "This general will go to the study room."

Qu Ling replied, he rushed over and closed the door. Without taking off his clothes, he threw off his shoes and climbed onto the bed, then fell asleep.

When Qu Ling finally woke up, it was already noon.

Xiao Yi was guarding outside and heard the commotion coming from inside. He opened his mouth and said, "Madam, young master Jiang came to see you this morning."

Jiang Huo? Qu Ling put on his shoes and socks, then casually washed his face with the cold water that had been left on the shelf for who knows how long. He opened the door and walked out, asking: "Where is he?"

Xiao Yi replied, "He went back. Young master Jiang told me to tell you that he misses you."

That stinking brat Jiang Huo would definitely not miss her! Qu Ling sneered, then returned to his room with the three poisonous objects, and walked out of the courtyard straight towards the wall that he was used to climbing earlier.

Xiao Yi dutifully followed behind Qu Ling as he stood at the bottom of the wall. He looked at Qu Ling's handsome and nimble climbing posture with a complex expression, and sighed to himself, "I have practiced this countless times, to be able to climb so beautifully on the wall …"

When she flipped out of the wall, just as Xiao Yi was about to follow, Qu Ling's shout came from behind the wall, "I want to return to Prime Minister Mansion."

Qu Ling paused, and then added in an evil tone: "Don't follow me, or else I'll poison you to death!"

Xiao Yi: "…"
