As soon as the servant girl's voice fell, the inside and outside of the court fell silent.

Qu Ling was angered to the point of laughing, "Are you implying that I poisoned Huo Xinyi?"

The servant girl trembled in fear, but she braced herself and retorted, "This servant doesn't dare. This servant only spoke the truth. "

The spectators all looked at Qu Ling and started whispering to the people around them.

Qu Ling scoffed mockingly, "I asked Huo Xinyi to come and kill her, and even made her leave a trail of evidence in front of my residence's gates, am I crazy?"

Xiao Jingyue could not help but laugh at her words.

The servant girl blushed and lowered her head even further, not saying another word.

The commoners, who were still in heated discussion, looked at each other in dismay.

Seeing that, the Caoital Officials frowned.

There were indeed a lot of suspicious points in Huo Xinyi's case, and it was very strange.

In his opinion, the Mrs. Xiao was just too unlucky, which was why he got into such a mess.

After thinking for a moment, Caoital Officials looked at Qu Ling, and asked gently: "Mrs. Xiao, can you tell me, why is Huo Xinyi on the General Mansion?"

Qu Ling said: "A few days ago, I went to the Treasure Pavilion to get Master Chen to get a hairpin. Boss Huo was here to give me a hairpin."

When meeting a respected guest, as long as Huo Xinyi had time, he would personally deliver the goods to her.

Although Qu Ling's words were a lie, but no one could find any fault with it.

Caoital Officials asked the servant again, "Is this true?"

The servant girl faltered for a long while before saying in a low voice, "It really is true."

Caoital Officials glanced at the General Xiao beside him who had an impatient look on his face, and thought for a while, then decided on the spot: "The witnesses confirmed that Huo Xinyi walked out of the General Mansion door on his own, but that Crane Head Red is a poison that dies immediately upon entering, so it is impossible for ordinary people to endure until then. There were a lot of suspicious points in this case, so he would temporarily rest until the investigation was thoroughly conducted before reopening the trial. "Retreat!"

From start to finish, these words did not mention anything about how to deal with Qu Ling, who was a suspect.

The servant girl looked at Qu Ling with a complicated gaze, and then silently followed the bailiff and left.

After everyone had left, Xiao Jingyue stood up and walked in front of Qu Ling, lowered her head and looked at her little face, then asked softly: "Go back?"

Qu Ling raised his head to look at him, let out a light snort, then turned and walked towards the back of the hall.

Seeing that, Xiao Jingyue lowered his eyes, but did not say anything, and followed along at a moderate pace.

The Caoital Officials who left the court first seemed to have predicted that Qu Ling would follow them and was already waiting for them at the back of the hall.

Seeing Qu Ling walking over, he immediately cupped his hands and chuckled: "Mrs. Xiao."

Qu Ling could tell that the old man was standing on his side, but he did not play any tricks on him, and directly said: "Huo Xinyi died under the effects of the parasite, and the ones who gave her the parasite were two men of Miao Boundary. Those two might still be in the capital, so Master should send someone to look for them as soon as possible."

The people from the Minister of War Palace were not fools. When something happened to Huo Xinyi, they would not so easily let the two Miao Boundary people go. There was a high chance that there were still eight or nine people in the capital, and they were just temporarily hiding somewhere.

Caoital Officials immediately called for his underlings to whisper a few words to him. After his underlings left, he asked: "How did Madam know?"

Qu Ling secretly rolled his eyes, and said half-truthfully: "She came to my house to find me, so that I could dispel the poison in her body.

The fact that her mother was someone from the Miao Boundary was not a secret in the capital. Furthermore, she spent all her time dealing with all sorts of poisonous creatures, so it was not strange that Huo Xinyi would come to her to dispel the parasite.

The Caoital Officials wanted to ask more questions, but Qu Ling added, "Don't spread this out, otherwise, you will be in trouble."

In the end, Caoital Officials did not ask as he was worried about Xiao Jingyue behind Qu Ling, and personally sent the two of them out of the residence.

After leaving the Caoital Officials Palace, she was still thinking about how Xiao Jingyue used his hands and feet to drag her up the horse.

Xiao Jingyue led his horse and followed her. The two of them walked along the street, one following the other, attracting the attention of many pedestrians. However, no one paid attention to them as they each thought about their own matters.

Suddenly, a carriage came over.

Qu Ling then raised his head and looked at the carriage in front of him, and forgot to dodge.

Shouts of surprise rose and fell from the surroundings. Just as the carriage was about to collide with Qu Ling, the color in Xiao Jingyue's eyes sharpened, and he quickly stepped forward to pull her to the right.

The carriage roared past Qu Ling as she leaned into Xiao Jingyue's embrace in fright, her little face deathly pale.

"What are you blanking out for?" Xiao Jingyue's slightly cold voice came from above her head.

Qu Ling regained his senses, his eyelids twitched, and gently pushed him away. Turning his head to the side, he muttered: "It's not you who got hit, why are you being so fierce?"

Xiao Jingyue was so angry that his chest was aching, he bellowed with a gloomy face: "Do you think it's reasonable to not look at the road?"

Qu Ling knew that he did not care and curled his lips, no longer speaking back.

Seeing her like that, the anger in Xiao Jingyue's heart dissipated slightly. He coldly looked at the carriage and shouted: Who is riding on a horse?

The wagon driver knelt down in fear and kowtowed, "General, spare me!" This lowly one is from Minister of War's residence, young master's body suddenly feels unwell, Master had ordered this lowly one to come out and find a doctor, this lowly one was unable to control the carriage for a moment, and accidentally disturbed the General and Madam, please forgive me! "

Qu Ling's heart skipped a beat, "Is Young Master Li not feeling well?"

Xiao Jingyue's face sunk, he glanced at her, and did not say a word.

The charioteer hurriedly said, "The morning was still fine. A quarter of an hour ago, Young Master was walking in the garden when he suddenly fainted."

Qu Ling asked again, "What are the symptoms?"

The carriage driver didn't understand why the lady general would ask such a detailed question, but he still replied truthfully, "I was only ordered to look for a doctor. I'm not sure."

Qu Ling did not ask any further, lectured the carriage driver for a bit, and then let them leave.

The horse that Xiao Jingyue was leading just now ran off when he went to save Qu Ling, and the two had no choice but to walk back to General Mansion.

He saw that Qu Ling had a thoughtful expression and asked softly: "What are you thinking about?"

The other party glanced at him but didn't reply.

After the two of them had left, a man walked out from a corner of the street. He stared at their backs and didn't look away for a long time.

Returning to the General Mansion, Qu Ling told Xiao Jingyue everything that had happened in detail.

Xiao Jingyue called over the Xiao Er, and after instructing him with a few words in a low voice, he waited for the Xiao Er to leave, and then said to Qu Ling: "Follow this general to the palace tomorrow."

Qu Ling frowned, "What are you doing in the palace?"

"The empress would like to see you."

"…"

She replied, and just as she was about to head back to the Pure Wind House, Xiao Jingyue suddenly reached out and grabbed her collar, pulling her back, "Eat with me."

Qu Ling was so angry that her face was twisted, she did not want to eat with him at all!

This short-lived pervert had been getting more and more outrageous lately. He had no idea that men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other as to touch each other at all!

Qu Ling suppressed the primal energy within his body and bitterly and bitterly finished this dinner with Xiao Jingyue.

"Miss, did you come back?" The voice of the Aunt Tao came from outside the door.

Pulling open the door, she looked at the person outside with a smile on her face, "Aunt Tao, is there something you need?"

The Aunt Tao replied, "Earlier, the young master sent a message to this old servant, asking this old servant to pass on to Miss the fact that the Heavenly Frost Grass already has an idea, but it will still take some time before it can be found."

Hearing this, Qu Ling could only give an expressionless "oh", not too excited, and even wishing that Murong Yan would never be able to find it.

Those shameless perverts deserved their short lives.
