"Stop!" A strange, high-pitched sound rang out, and the Protector Guards came to a halt.

The curtain of the palanquin was lifted by a white hand, and a pale yellow figure walked out from the palanquin.

The Crown Prince slowly walked in front of Xiao Jingyue and Qu Ling, and asked gently, "Are the General Xiao and Ah Ling here to visit mother?"

That intimate "Ah Ling", in Xiao Jingyue's ears, was inexplicably ear-piercing.

He frowned and replied in a deep voice, "Yes."

The crown prince gently nodded and his gaze landed on Qu Ling's body. His gaze immediately became complicated.

After being silent for a moment, he opened his mouth and said apologetically: "I have known Ah Ling for many years, and are close to him, so I should have gone over to congratulate him. Why is it that he was so busy recently?

Qu Ling said dryly: "The crown prince is too serious."

The Crown Prince sighed, "Ah Ling and I are separated."

Qu Ling shut his mouth and did not say a word.

The Crown Prince turned to look at Xiao Jingyue and said gently, "Father often praises General Xiao for being proficient in military strategy and techniques, and is a rare talent. I have long sought advice from General Xiao. When he returns, I hope that you can give me a bit of advice. "

Xiao Jingyue did not agree, and only said lightly, "Crown Prince, you flatter me."

The crown prince naturally understood the intention behind his rejection, but did not say anything more, looked deeply into Qu Ling's eyes, and turned to return to the palanquin.

Just as Qu Ling was about to let out a breath of relief after the crown prince's guard had left, he heard the man beside him ask in a cold voice, "Are you familiar with the crown prince?"

This tone of voice made Qu Ling feel like he was caught by his husband.

She awkwardly said, "Not familiar."

Pausing for a moment, he then added: "I've been to the palace for a few years already, so I know more people."

From the imperial concubines and princes to the imperial guards and eunuchs, Qu Ling could find a few who he knew.

It was unknown if Xiao Jingyue believed it or not, but when he looked at her coldly, he snorted and flicked his sleeves as he turned around.

Qu Ling curled his lips and silently followed.

After exiting the palace, the two of them returned to the palanquin. Qu Ling saw that he did not say anything, so he ignored him.

After walking for a distance, Qu Ling could not help but pull up the curtains and look at the street outside.

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar figure entered her eyes.

She was startled for a moment, and then muttered: "Li Chenxuan?"

Xiao Jingyue raised his gaze and moved to Qu Ling's side, following her gaze.

Li Chenxuan was leaning on a window on the second floor of a tavern, smiling and talking to a person beside him.

In the past, the young master of the Li family would lie in seclusion, waiting for death to come. He was no different from a cripple.

The current him was already able to go out and meet his friends like an ordinary person. He looked ruddy, and there was a hint of vitality in his eyes.

Apart from the fact that he was still thin, he looked no different from an ordinary person.

If Huo Xinyi was still alive, he would be very pleased.

Thinking about it, Qu Ling could not help but exclaim: This young master's luck is not bad.

She did not transform like Huo Xinyi, hence she received a life.

Xiao Jingyue glanced at her but did not reply.

Only then did Qu Ling notice that the two were getting closer to him. He immediately moved to the side, pulling some distance away from him.

Seeing that, Xiao Jingyue squinted: "What?"

Qu Ling laughed dryly: "Nothing, just a little hot."

"This general isn't hot."

Xiao Jingyue grabbed her shoulders, and immediately pulled her into his embrace.

Qu Ling was so angry that his nose was crooked. Without a word, he took out a cute little thing from his bosom and slapped Xiao Jingyue's face.

Xiao Jingyue, whose face had been slapped by Bi Xie, was caught off guard.

At dawn, Qu Ling was pulled out of the quilt by Xiao Jingyue, and threw the quilt along with him onto the carriage.

The carriage was covered with a thick blanket, Qu Ling did not feel any pain from the fall, he just turned his body and went back to sleep.

Yesterday, when she had used the Jade Scorpion to slap his face on the carriage, Xiao Jingyue had threatened to throw her Jade Scorpion away, causing her heart and lungs to ache from anger.

After returning to her residence, she couldn't help but throw a tantrum at Yue.

Xiao Jingyue allowed her to hit him and scold him as she pleased. After she had scolded him enough, he threw the《 Female Commandment》 in front of her with a cold face.

She tried to fight back, but it turned out that evil capitalists were not easily defeated by the people.

For the sake of a bowl of rice, she had endured the silence of copying books until midnight. Even now, she was still extremely sleepy.

On this trip, aside from the First Xiao Er Xiao, Xiao Jingyue had also brought ten other Dark Guard with him.

Early in the morning, a group of people, bathed in morning dew, silently left the city the moment the city gates opened.

No one knew that the moment they exited the city gates, a small green sedan chair stopped in front of the General Mansion's gate.

From the sedan came a woman wearing a yellow dress. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked very haggard.

The guard at the door stepped forward and shouted, "Who has come from General Mansion?"

The woman blessed her body and said hoarsely: "I am Caoital Officials's daughter, Li Ning'er, and am here specifically to seek an audience with Mrs. Xiao."

The guard said, "Madam went out with the general this morning."

Li Ning'er was startled, and immediately asked: "Then when will she return?"

The guard waved his hand impatiently. "I don't know." Master's business is not something that we can handle. Come back in a few days. "

I won't be able to make it in a few days … Tears instantly welled up in Li Ning'er's eyes again. She closed her eyes forcefully, covering the despair in her eyes as she said softly, "Thank you for telling me."

As the Murong Villa Master's birthday was coming up, Xiao Jingyue decided to head towards the Murong Villa first, and then change the direction of his Miao Boundary.

It would take at least ten days to get from Zhijing to Murong Manor in a carriage.

When Qu Ling thought about how he and Xiao Jingyue would have to stay in the carriage face to face for ten days, his entire person became a little uncomfortable.

Especially since this short-lived pervert would occasionally play tricks on her, causing her to have no choice but to constantly be wary of him. This feeling was too annoying.

"There's something under my butt?"

The man suddenly raised his head, and looked towards Qu Ling who was seated uneasily.

After sitting in the carriage for a long time, it was unbearably bumpy. Qu Ling glared at him angrily, "What butt * * s not?! Be more civilized!"

General Xiao raised an eyebrow, he was a civilized person: "There is a strange object under Madam's butt?"

Qu Ling, "..."

What the hell!

Qu Ling was too lazy to bicker with him, she lifted the curtain and asked Xiao Er who was driving the carriage, "How much longer do we have to go?"

Xiao Er replied, "Reporting to Madam, we will arrive at the relay station in half an hour."

Qu Ling heaved a sigh of relief, closed the curtain and sat back down.

Out of the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of the man still looking at her. She immediately glared back and said, "What are you looking at!"

Xiao Jingyue was not angry. She suddenly revealed a gentle smile and said: "This general cannot help but say," Madam is so beautiful.

Qu Ling looked like she was choking on something, she blushed and looked away, and scolded: "Smooth talker, you stink has no face!"

Xiao Jingyue chuckled softly, and did not tease her anymore. He withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes to rest.

An hour later, just as Xiao Er had expected, the carriage successfully arrived at the relay station.

The station was not big, only five rooms at most.

The group of fourteen people were divided into five rooms. Even Qu Ling had to share a room with them if they were to divide the room horizontally.

Although Qu Ling was unhappy, it was not good to not give him face in front of Xiao Jingyue's subordinates, and could only silently take this loss.

During the dinner, Qu Ling and Xiao Jingyue sat at the same table.

When the food was almost done, Xiao Jingyue suddenly ordered someone to bring a jug of wine over.

Qu Ling revealed a look of surprise, "You want to drink?"

Xiao Jingyue did not answer.

The wine was served to the table. After testing it with silver needles that the Xiao Er was unharmed, Xiao Jingyue asked, "Does Madame want to drink two cups?"
