Qu Ling followed Huo Xinyi into a pavilion, where the other party suddenly knelt in front of her.

She was shocked and hurriedly moved to the side, "Boss Huo, what are you doing?"

Huo Xinyi looked at Qu Ling's hands that were wrapped in gauze, and laughed bitterly: "Even Mrs. Xiao knows about it now, right?"

Qu Ling was silent for a moment, then lowered his head to look at her and asked faintly: "What do I know?"

Huo Xin was a delicate and exquisite person. After a moment of silence, she seemed to have made up her mind. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "A few days ago, I met two people at the brocade store. They said that they had a type of medicine in their hands.

Due to the weather, there were very few people around Zhijing. After Qu Ling had been brought back to the capital, he had not seen anyone other than Jiang Huo and Jin Yi.

Hearing this, her curiosity was piqued. "How are you so sure they're Miao Renlong?"

"In my early years, when I ventured out into the north to do business, I had also been to the Miao Boundary. I know what Miao Renlong's words are like." Huo Xinyi explained.

Qu Ling said, then asked: "Is the medicine they are talking about the Gu in your body?"

This time, Huo Xinyi was silent for a very long time before saying: "Yes. They said that after taking this pill, one can live forever, and it will not cause any harm to the body. However, you must first die before using this Gu, so I … "

Qu Ling felt that it was very absurd, "So you took the Crane Head Red?"

At the very least, she was still a businesswoman who had made her way through the four seas. How could she still believe in fake medicine and scare her?

Huo Xinyi also thought that she was being ridiculous and silently lowered her head.

Qu Ling looked at her speechlessly for a long time, "How do you want me to help you?"

Huo Xinyi kowtowed to her, "Mrs. Xiao is also from the Miao Boundary, there must be a way to remove the parasite in my body."

Qu Ling looked at Huo Xinyi coldly. In the end, he only said that he would ask her to come to General Mansion tomorrow before he left. He did not mention to her that there was no rule of law regarding the transformation of a parasite.

Since he was unable to get close to the young master of the Li family today, it was Huo Xinyi who took the initiative to come find her.

Unfortunately, Huo Xinyi this woman did not tell her the truth. She had even confidently made up a lie that only a three year old child would believe.

But it didn't matter, when tomorrow's people went to General Mansion, she would naturally have ways to make them tell the truth.

"Madam!" Xiao Yi, who had been hiding in the dark all this time, suddenly appeared and raised his voice to shout.

She raised her head, only to see Xiao Jingyue walking towards her with a cold face. Her attitude, no matter how you looked at it, looked as if she was here to denounce him.

Xiao Yi and the Xiao Er behind their master looked at each other and retreated back into the darkness with tacit understanding.

Seeing that she was fine, Xiao Jingyue secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a stern face: "Go back."

On their way there, the two of them met Minister of War Li Yun, who had come to look for someone.

Xiao Jingyue did not refuse. After Qu Ling and Li Yun talked for a while, he laughed: "I wonder if the expert that Master Li invited is still in the capital? My grandfather has always had a headache, and I've seen many doctors who failed to cure it. If possible, please introduce them to Lord Li. "

Li Yun's expression did not change, he laughed out loud: "All experts have some temper, whether or not you are willing to treat Prime Minister Jiang is not something I can say. However, since Mrs. Xiao has already spoken, I will send someone to ask him tomorrow. "

Qu Ling thanked him profusely and praised him a lot before stepping out of the gates of the Minister of War Palace.

Returning back to the carriage, Xiao Jingyue sat down cross legged, closed his eyes and meditated, as if he did not have any intentions of responding to Qu Ling.

Now that the sky was dark, and the carriage was in darkness, Qu Ling could not see the expression on his face, and his heart was perturbed.

After walking for a while, the carriage suddenly jolted and she deliberately seized the opportunity to leap forward into Xiao Jingyue's embrace.

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

She quickly touched his chest twice but was unable to touch the hairpin. Just as she was about to retract her hand, her wrist was suddenly restrained.

Weak rays of light seeped in from outside. Qu Ling raised his head and met Xiao Jingyue's sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

He asked in a low voice, "What are you looking for?"

Qu Ling innocently asked back, "What are you looking for?"

Xiao Jingyue looked at her with a sunken expression, his pitch-black eyes so deep that they couldn't be seen.

The woman shrugged her shoulders. "Alright, actually my hands are itchy and I want to take the opportunity to touch you."

Xiao Jingyue, "..."

Being interrupted by Qu Ling like this, Xiao Jingyue immediately felt like he had lost all of his anger, and had instead felt that it was somewhat funny.

Returning to the General Mansion, without waiting for him to speak, Qu Ling took the initiative to follow him to the study room, and told him everything Huo Xinyi had said to her.

He was silent for a moment, and said softly, "Huo Xinyi may not have come to find you to cure himself of the parasite poison."

"Well, heroes agree." Qu Ling nodded his head in agreement, "Huo Xinyi has plenty of money and connections, it's impossible that she couldn't find someone to help her remove the parasite. It's very possible that she had already looked for it, and knew that her parasite had changed."

He knew clearly that the transformation of the parasite yet he still went to find her to remove it. That definitely wasn't for him, but maybe for Li Chenxuan.

Now that the question had come up, what was Huo Xinyi's relationship with him? Or should I say, what relationship does Huo Xinyi have with the Minister of War Palace?

After thinking for a moment, Qu Ling said: "When Huo Xinyi comes over tomorrow, I'll think of a way to keep her in the residence and see if I can get the Miao Boundary person who controls the parasite out of her."

Xiao Jingyue did not reply, he merely glanced at her, "Do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'hero'?"

"…" Qu Ling was furious. Did this person know how to talk? Was this the main point?!

Xiao Jingyue shifted his gaze, and said indifferently: "Today is fine, but remember, in the future, don't act without permission."

"How am I acting on my own? Don't tell me that I have to ask you before I can do anything?"

"That's good."

Qu Ling stared at him angrily, she turned around and wanted to leave, but Xiao Jingyue stopped her: "What did Huo Xinyi give you?"

She grinded her teeth and reluctantly said, "I went to the Treasure Pavilion a few days ago to get a hairpin. She brought it here for me."

Xiao Jingyue acknowledged and extended his hand towards her.

She quickly took two steps back and vigilantly stared at him, "You want to see a woman's hairpin?"

Xiao Jingyue raised his eyebrows, "What, this general can't watch?"

Of course not! Qu Ling was both angry and nervous. "If you want to see it, I'll show it to you tomorrow!"

Xiao Jingyue's expression turned cold, her eyes became as dark as ink, and she bellowed: "Take it out!"

Qu Ling opened his eyes wide in disbelief, he couldn't believe that this man was actually such a bandit.

She couldn't even let him see the hairpin, let alone hand it over. Otherwise, she would have to hide the truth from him for so long.

She gritted her teeth and turned to run.

"Where to?" Xiao Jingyue quickly reached out his hand and pulled Qu Ling back.

"I'm going back to sleep, let go!" Qu Ling was so angry that he was about to cry, struggling to take back his collar.

Xiao Jingyue didn't just not let her go, he directly hugged her tightly in his embrace, and held her down.

He did not find anything in her sleeve, but seeing that the hand was about to reach her chest, Qu Ling was so scared that he was about to cry.

She turned and glared at Xiao Jingyue, her eyes red with anger: "Even if I lost it, I won't give it to you!"

Xiao Jingyue looked at her quietly for a while before he let her go and walked out the door.

Tonight's moonlight could still be considered bright, but Xiao Jingyue saw the wooden box that Qu Ling had thrown on the ground with a single glance.

He did not want to bully Qu Ling, but the doubt in his heart was too strong, and he could not wait to peel it one layer at a time.

Yesterday, Xiao Er heard the news from a young servant in South Wind House. Qu Ling and Murong Yan did indeed know each other, and their relationship was actually very good. The two of them collaborated to open the noodle house, and Qu Ling was the boss behind the South Wind House.

There were also a few days ago when Chen Linye found him to drink, and accidentally saw the hairpin in his sleeve, she was very sure that it was Miao Ren's jewelry, and it coincided with a fleeting thought on his part.

After that, he sent Xiao Yi to investigate, only to find out that there were only two women from the Miao Clan in the entire capital.

One was Qu Ling, and the other was her maid, Jin Yi.

Thinking of how Qu Ling would touch his chest from time to time, looking like he was looking for something, he was more willing to believe that the owner of the snake hairpin was Qu Ling.

Seeing that the man did not move, Qu Ling immediately rushed out of the study room, wanting to pick up the box.

But how could she be faster than Xiao Jingyue? In an instant, the wooden box was in his hands.

Xiao Jingyue looked at the nervous Qu Ling with a faint smile. With a flick of his forefinger, he removed the lock on the wooden box.

The lock snapped with a "pa" sound, just like the string broken in Qu Ling's mind.

Qu Ling gritted his teeth and was about to snatch it again, but he dodged to the side, and after a few rounds, the wooden box fell to the ground, and the things inside fell out.

The silver white moonlight fell onto the hairpin that fell out of the wooden box, reflecting a dazzling light. Xiao Jingyue's pupils suddenly shrank …
