In broad daylight, in broad daylight. Was this short-lived pervert even going to care about face?

He carried her out of the door, onto the horse, and left the Caoital Officials Palace. Was she carrying a pillow?

Xiao Jingyue glanced at her and let her go.

Qu Ling took two steps back to increase the distance, he turned and looked, and snorted: "Explain what, General saw it, I am looking for the two Miao Boundary people."

Xiao Jingyue's eyes flashed, "And how did Madame find out about the two Miao Boundary people hiding in the Lotus Flower Hall?"

She actually found the person that even the Caoital Officials Palace couldn't find.

This lady of his was truly secretive.

Qu Ling felt weak in his heart, as he said without thinking, "I have my own plans!"

Xiao Jingyue raised his eyes with a smile that was not a smile, and asked: "Miss?"

Qu Ling was startled, but after reacting to Xiao Jingyue's meaning, he immediately became angry: "I am not a lady, could it be that you are?!"

Wasn't it because of this short-lived pervert in front of her that caused her to turn from a girl to a woman?

Xiao Jingyue eased his expression and said softly: "This general will think of a way to settle the matter of Huo Xinyi for Madam. This matter ends here, and no one is allowed to continue investigating."

Where had this lady of his died recently? If it wasn't due to bad luck, then someone had done it on purpose. It was unknown what would happen if he continued to investigate.

But the Gu in your body did this... When these words reached Qu Ling's mouth, she forcefully swallowed them back, and said with a stiff tone: "But I promised Huo Xinyi that I would save Li Chenxuan."

Xiao Jingyue lowered his eyes and said in a light tone, "Everything in the world has its fate. He is someone who is on the verge of death, and if he were to forcefully extend his life, he will only reap the consequences."

Although Qu Ling thought that this pervert, who only had a short life, was right, she did not want to let it go like this.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard him say: "Follow me to the palace first. After two days, we will set off together to head towards Miao Boundary."

The moment he heard about going to Miao Boundary, Qu Ling's eyes immediately lit up. He no longer bothered about Huo Xinyi and Li Chenxuan and said the word "good" three times in a row.

It was already past noon when the two entered the palace under the warm sunlight. When they arrived outside the empress's palace, they were informed by the mama that the empress had fallen asleep, so they had no choice but to return home and come back another day.

After leaving the Li Palace, Xiao Jingyue sent Qu Ling back to the General Mansion, and immediately turned his horse around to ride his mount.

Just as he left, Qu Ling turned and left the house, using a little trick to shake off Xiao Yi and rushed straight to South Wind House.

Murong Yan was in the backyard watering a few herbs, seeing Qu Ling walking over, he was startled.

She walked briskly to him and said with a smile, "A few days ago, you said that you found a suitable place in the East Street. Now, bring me there to take a look?"

Murong Yan put down the water bottle and asked indifferently: "You sneaked out, aren't you afraid that General Xiao will find out?"

Qu Ling's small face fell, "Where should I go? Why should I be afraid of him knowing?"

Murong Yan laughed softly, changing the subject, "Shuang Xue was brought to the Caoital Officials's Palace?"

When she mentioned this matter, she immediately lost all of her energy and said listlessly: "I asked her to help me poison those two Miao Boundary people but who would have known that those two people would actually die … Xiao Jingyue didn't allow me to investigate this matter any further, and said that he would bring me to the Miao Boundary in a few days. "

Murong Yan frowned, "Why are you going to Miao Boundary?"

Qu Ling did not want to tell others about Xiao Jingyue's private matters, so he simply closed his mouth and did not answer.

Seeing that, Murong Yan did not pursue any further, and only said: "I will think of a way to deal with the snow, you do not need to worry."

Hearing this, she wasn't worried anymore, but she felt a bit embarrassed.

It seemed that she had been committing crimes recently, and when she did commit them, she had someone else clean up the mess for her.

Murong Yan seemed to have seen through her thoughts, he shook his head and chuckled: "It would be strange if you ever became peaceful again. I'm used to tidying up your mess anyway, you don't have to be embarrassed … "Although I see that you're actually quite embarrassed in your heart."

Qu Ling glared at the person who spoke the truth and turned to leave.

After a while, she suddenly thought of something. She turned her head and asked, "Is the snow trustworthy?"

Murong Yan was startled, after a moment, he gently nodded his head: "Trusted."

After Qu Ling heard this, he did not ask anymore.

In this lifetime, there were only a few people that she trusted with all her heart, and Murong Yan was one of them.

Xiao Er returned to Xiao Jingyue's side after dealing with the Lotus Blossom House matter, and even brought back an item.

It was a few small porcelain bottles. The opening of the bottles was blocked by a wooden stopper emitting a faint fragrance. It seemed to be a bottle used to seal Gu.

These few small porcelain bottles were found by the two dead Miao Boundary people. Caoital Officials didn't dare to touch them carelessly, as he remembered that Qu Ling seemed to like this kind of strange and weird thing, so he asked Xiao Er to bring them back to him.

After the Xiao Er explained the origins of the item, he paused for a moment, took a step forward, and spoke again in a low voice: "Lord Caoital Officials had this subordinate inform the general that a secret decree was given in the palace, ordering the Caoital Officials Palace to swiftly conclude the case, and not continue with the investigation."

Xiao Jingyue frowned, "Do you know whose secret decree it is?"

Xiao Er shook his head, "This subordinate does not know."

Murong Yan found an old restaurant that had been resold. It had three floors, although it looked a little old, the position was still considered good.

Qu Ling walked around, he was very satisfied, he immediately took out the silver and exchanged it with the shop, then started to discuss the matter of opening the second South Wind House with Murong Yan.

Time passed unknowingly. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, the two of them went downstairs together.

Lanterns had already been lit up in front of the shops by the side of the road, and the entire east street was illuminated by the red light.

Murong Yan followed behind her, quietly looking at her body that was enveloped in red light, and asked softly: Are you not afraid of General Xiao being worried so late at night?

Qu Ling waved his hand without turning his head, "He won't worry about me."

He was startled for a moment, then laughed lightly: "I see that General Xiao treats you pretty well. Since you're going to marry him, then …"

"Murong!" Qu Ling suddenly shouted and interrupted Murong Yan. When he looked over, Qu Ling's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he pointed to the wine shop beside him: "Let's go, I'll treat you to wine!"

Murong Yan's expression became strange, "You want to drink?"

Those who were familiar with Qu Ling knew that she would definitely be drunk after drinking three cups of wine.

However, this woman did not know that she liked to put him down on a whim.

Murong Yan looked at the lady in front of him whose cheeks had turned red and her eyes were clouded, her warm jade-like face revealed a helpless expression.

Even though it was just three cups, it really was just three cups.

He hadn't even touched a drop of wine, and she drank herself drunk as soon as she sat down.

Murong Yan snatched the cup in her hand and said helplessly: "Let's go, I'll send you back to the General Mansion."

Qu Ling pushed his hand away and shook his head, "I'm not going back."

Even after being drunk, Qu Ling was still very stubborn, but she looked much more obedient than usual, her tone of voice was soft and soft, striking at people's heartstrings.

Murong Yan's hand that was suspended in midair stopped moving, and after being silent for a moment, he asked softly: "Why are you not returning?"

Qu Ling clenched his fists and said angrily: "Xiao Jingyue is not a good person, he's a pervert with a short life!"

"…" Murong Yan raised his head and looked past Qu Ling. When he saw the person standing behind her, his expression changed and he suddenly coughed lightly.

However, a certain person did not know that danger was approaching, so he continued to speak: "It's fine if you don't let me eat with Xiao Qing, but you even punished me to copy the < Female Commandment > a hundred times. If you do not know how to show mercy to the fairer sex, it is no wonder you are still bare-handed even in your twenties! "

Murong Yan forced himself not to laugh, he stood up and cupped his hands and bowed to the people behind Qu Ling, "This commoner greets General Xiao."
