Qu Ling looked as if he had swallowed a fly, and after a long while, he said with difficulty: "I have already made the general's appearance look like a celestial being, it can no longer be described with words."

"Can't be described with words?" Xiao Jingyue sneered again and again, "This general sees that you've already praised them quite well last night, why not Madame continue today?"

Qu Ling turned his head and looked elsewhere, and hesitated: "... This, I don't think so. General doesn't need anyone to praise him to be handsome and powerful. "

Xiao Jingyue snorted lightly, he did not make things difficult for her, and retracted his gaze, and ordered the Xiao Er to send people to look for Chu Yu.

Qu Ling took the chance to walk around, but was stopped by him, "Where does the Madam want to go?"

She said honestly, "Let's go to the Treasure Pavilion and take a look."

Although the impact of Huo Xinyi's incident was huge, but strictly speaking, he did not kill nor commit any crimes, so the Caoital Officials Palace would not be able to keep him locked up for long.

As for Chu Yu, and Xiao Jingyue would go and look for him, but for the time being, Qu Ling did not plan to worry about it.

The current her wanted to find out what exactly the Gu in Huo Xinyi's body was.

Xiao Jingyue did not stop him and only said, "Let Xiao Yi follow."

Qu Ling curled his lips, "Got it."

Treasure Pavilion was the largest private jewelry shop in the capital and was very popular with the noble ladies and the young mistresses.

The moment Qu Ling stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, he saw a familiar face.

Caoital Officials's granddaughter, Li Ning'er.

When Li Ning'er saw Qu Ling, he pulled her out without saying a word.

The two could not be considered to be familiar with each other, and although they met on normal days, they would only nod their heads. Qu Ling did not understand what kind of medicine Li Ning'er was hiding in his gourd, but he did not stop him from doing so.

Only after walking to a place with no one around did Li Ning'er let her go. He vigilantly looked around at his surroundings, and said with a low voice: "Yesterday, my grandfather brought Huo Xinyi back for questioning. Huo Xinyi insisted that she did not know what had happened to her after dying.

Qu Ling raised his eyebrows, "What do you want to say?"

Li Ning'er glared at her, "You and the general went to Caoital Officials Palace on the night of Huo Xinyi's corpse fraud, and you really think my grandfather doesn't know about it!?"

Qu Ling was amused, "Then does Old Li suspect that it was me?"

"You think too highly of yourself." Li Ning'er said disdainfully, "Grandfather said you don't have the guts, at most you're just trying to scare people, you won't be able to do anything big."

Qu Ling's smile stiffened, he gnashed his teeth and said: "See if I dare or not! I'll burn his beard tonight! "

"Don't mess around!" Li Ning'er patted Qu Ling once, "Grandfather told me to tell you that Huo Xinyi is abnormal, so you should be careful."

Qu Ling was stunned for a moment, then reopened his smile: "Old man Li actually knows how to take care of me, not bad."

"When Huo Xinyi left the Caoital Officials Palace, he accidentally knocked down a servant girl. Later on, that servant girl told us that Huo Xinyi's body was extremely cold, his body was like a block of ice and it was extremely strange. In short, if you don't want to die, stay far away from Huo Xinyi. "

After warning them, Li Ning'er left.

Qu Ling returned to the Treasure Pavilion once again and called for people from the Treasure Pavilion to ask: "Where is your Boss Huo?"

The lady recognized her and said: "The boss is upstairs, does Mrs. Xiao need a servant to report to him?"

Qu Ling was stunned for a moment before realizing that he was being addressed as "Mrs. Xiao". Gritting his teeth in his heart, he nodded and smiled: "Thank you for coming."

The lady turned around and went upstairs. Not long after, she came downstairs and said apologetically to Qu Ling: "I'm sorry, the boss said that she is not feeling well and will not see anyone today."

"Fine." Qu Ling knew that his body was unwell and these words were mostly used as an excuse to stop other people from coming. Others might not really feel unwell, but since Huo Xinyi had no other choice, he could only give up and ask, "Is your Master Chen around, I want to find him to fix a hairpin."

The woman smiled and said, "I'm here. Mrs. Xiao, please follow this servant over. "

In the Treasure Pavilion, there were a total of five master craftsmen who forged jewelry. Qu Ling followed the woman into the room where Master Chen worked, and told Master Chen in detail about the appearance and the material of the hairpin he wanted to create.

In the end, he even took out Green Snake from his bosom and twisted Green Snake into the shape of a snake hairpin that Xiao Jingyue had taken away, scaring Master Chen senseless on the spot.

Qu Ling innocently turned his head to ask the lady: "Do you need to call for a doctor?"

The woman was also quite frightened. With a pale face, she said, "This servant will go find a doctor right now."

In the end, the woman had only just walked away when Master Chen, who had been scared unconscious, woke up. He said in a daze, "Mrs. Xiao, please do not scare this old one again. This old one roughly knows what the hairpin you want is. Once I finish drawing the blueprints, I will send someone to send it to General Mansion. "

Qu Ling immediately replied: There's no need to go through so much trouble. Elder, please set a time, I will come over and fetch it.

She wanted to strike a serpent hairpin that was exactly the same as before, and planned to find a chance to exchange Xiao Jingyue's body for the other one.

Master Chen muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "Mrs. Xiao can come back for it in the afternoon of the next day."

Qu Ling agreed, then took his leave and left the Treasure Pavilion, walking towards the street where the Minister of War's Palace was.

The closer it got to noon, the hotter the weather became. When Qu Ling walked to the street near Minister of War Palace, he was already sweating profusely.

Qu Ling lifted his hand and sniffed his sleeves, then remembered that he did not take a bath for a few days. He immediately decided to take a bath when he returned.

"Miss, do you want to eat candied fruits?" A hawker selling candied fruits passed a candied fruit to Qu Ling.

She reached out to take it, and casually took out a few copper coins to give to the vendor, and casually asked: "Why is Minister Mansion entrance so lively?"

"I heard that Minister Li had invited a genius doctor to treat that sickly little gongzi. Coincidentally, a few days later, it was also the birthday of that little gongzi, so Minister Mansion was planning to hold a celebration for the little gongzi's birthday. Now, everyone in the mansion is preparing it."

Minister of War Li Yun only had one son, called Li Chenxuan. Li Chenxuan was the same age as Qu Ling, and he had been a sickly child. He had never appeared at palace banquets or other official gatherings, so Qu Ling had only heard of him before, but never seen him before.

A young master who had been ill for more than ten years suddenly recovered. If it was before, she would definitely not think about this matter any other way and would only think that Li Shangshu had found an expert. But after seeing the revived Huo Xinyi heading towards the Minister of War Palace in the middle of the night, Qu Ling had no choice but to think further.

In the evening, she returned to the General Mansion, told Xiao Jingyue about the matter, and asked: "What do you think, General?"

General Xiao frowned, her tone filled with disdain: "Madam, you should go shower and change clothes first, and then ask this general this question!"
