Seeing that Qu Ling had woken up, Xiao Jingyue put down the booklet and asked softly: "Do you want to have dinner?"

Hearing the voice, Qu Ling instantly woke up from his daze, he stared at Xiao Jingyue suspiciously, and asked vigilantly: "Is there something you need?"

This short-lived pervert kept eating her food, and she was thankful for it. Just then, he actually asked her if she wanted to eat. Was it really okay for her to be scared like this?

Xiao Jingyue pointed to the book on the table that was filled with Miao Wen words, "What are you looking up?"

"These are the notes my mother wrote before she died." Qu Ling said, "I want to see if there is any kind of Gu Worm that has been recorded in this book. After entering a person's body, the parasite poison will act up and the symptoms will be the same as last night."

As for the matter of her associating the Gu Worm in his body with the Gu Worm in Huo Xinyi's body, she temporarily did not plan to tell him.

Xiao Jingyue acknowledged her and picked up the book again to look through.

Qu Ling looked at the book in his hand, then looked at him again, "You can read Miao Wen?"

"A little." Xiao Jingyue said indifferently, "In the Southern Guarding Prince Palace, there is an old woman who does odd jobs. She is Miao Man, this general had learnt a few things from her before when I was young."

Qu Ling acknowledged, and did not ask further.

"Mistress." Xiao Er suddenly shouted from outside.

Xiao Jingyue replied without raising his head: "Come in."

"Yes." Xiao Er walked in with a tray with a bowl of rice and a small dish on it.

Xiao Er brought out the food from the tray and placed it in front of Qu Ling, "Madam, please have a meal."

Seeing that, Qu Ling's eyes almost popped out, "If you don't have anything to ask of me, then I will definitely steal your help, what do you need from me?"

Xiao Jingyue bellowed with a gloomy face: "Xiao Er, take it out and throw it away!"

"I was wrong!" Qu Ling hurriedly protected the dishes in front of him and said without any restraint, "General, you have always been kind and benevolent, generous and magnanimous!"

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

Xiao Er looked at Xiao Jingyue, seeing that his master did not make a sound, he tactfully retreated.

Qu Ling carefully looked at Xiao Jingyue, he buried his head and quickly ate, afraid that he would change his mind and starve her in the next moment.

The window was still open, but a breeze blew in, causing the candles to flicker and light up.

Xiao Jingyue stood up and closed the window. He stood quietly behind the window for a moment, then suddenly said: "Finished eating, continue praising."

"…" Qu Ling gulped down a mouthful of rice, causing her small face to instantly flush red.

Other people would laugh to death if they were shameless, but this short-lived pervert would be shameless if he were to choke to death!

In the end, he was someone who had just experienced a parasite attack, and then was poisoned by the blood spider's poison. After standing for a while, Xiao Jingyue's face revealed a look of exhaustion.

He rubbed his forehead, walked back to Qu Ling and sat down, then picked up the small booklet again, and asked indifferently: "Did you notice anything?"

Qu Ling swallowed the food in his mouth and truthfully said: "I could tell a little, but it's not verified, so I can't tell you for now."

Regarding her words, Xiao Jingyue was not the least bit displeased. Instead, he was more willing to wait for the accurate result than make uncertain guesses.

After a while, Qu Ling said again, "I want to continue investigating the matter regarding Huo Xinyi, but grandfather does not allow me to investigate."

"Is it related to this general?"

Instead of answering, she asked, "What if I say I didn't?"

Xiao Jingyue said emotionlessly: "This general will also not allow you to investigate."

This matter seemed to be related to the Minister of War, because the younger sister of Minister of War Li Yun was the imperial concubine of the current dynasty, and also the mother of the crown prince.

Hearing that, Qu Ling could only say: "It does matter."

"Is that so?" Xiao Jingyue smirked and looked at the little girl, "When you lied to me and I explored the Caoital Officials Palace with you, you did the same thing."

Qu Ling immediately said: "It's true this time!"

Xiao Jingyue could do no more. After a long while, she finally said blandly: "If you want to investigate, fine, but you must let Xiao Yi follow you when you leave. If you discover anything, you must inform this general. What time would you be able to do that? "

Even if he could not, he had to agree to it first. Qu Ling nodded his head with some difficulty: "Alright."

When Xiao Er came in and cleaned up the empty bowls and plates, Qu Ling looked at Xiao Jingyue's face and could not resist the urge to ask: "Where are you sleeping tonight?"

Xiao Jingyue was about to get up, but hearing her words, he slowly turned his head and looked into her eyes with a smile that was not a smile: "What, Madame wants to consummate the marriage with this general?"

Qu Ling, "..."

Circle your head! Is your crappy technique worth me trying to cheat you?!

Besides, it's already past the round mark.

Xiao Jingyue walked towards the collapse of the wall behind the screen and waved his hands without even turning his head: "This general will be staying in the study. You can go back and rest."

Qu Ling could not help but be disappointed.

Her hairpin!

In the dead of night, a dispute suddenly broke out within the General Mansion's dungeon.

There were men's voices, and there were also women's voices.

But in the dungeon, there was clearly only the little servant with the South Wind House locked up.

The two guards guarding the entrance to the dungeon turned pale with fright. One of them quickly ran into the dungeon.

The other guard was in a dilemma as to whether he should call someone over. The moment he turned around, he saw a man in black clothing appear in front of him.

The man in black was tall and big. His face was covered with a black bandana, making it impossible to see his face. Only his pair of sinister eyes could be seen.

The guard knew that something was wrong and was about to shout out, but the black-clothed man quickly pressed down on his sleeping point.

The black-clothed man had no intention of killing anyone. He strode past the bodyguard's body and headed into the dungeon.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a black-clothed man carried out a person from the dungeon and silently left the General Mansion.

The person who was carried out was none other than Chu Yu who had been imprisoned for many days.
