C89

Within the bedroom, it was so quiet that even the sound of light and weak breathing could be clearly heard.

The man who was standing next to the screen stopped in his tracks and didn't continue walking forward.

After a long while, he expressionlessly turned his head to look at his wife. His tone was flat and did not change at all. "Do you know what you are saying?"

Although Li Ning'er was afraid of him, she had already said it. One more word would not change anything.

Therefore, she braced herself and asked: "The serpent hairpin that you hid in your chest belonged to Qu Ling?"

Li Chenxuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered, and coldly said: "So what if it is, so what?"

"She is the Madam of General Xiao!"

"So what?" Don't forget whose wife you are and whose side you're on. "

Finished speaking, Li Chenxuan did not spare the lady another glance, bypassed the screen, and directly left the bedroom that he had never stayed in before.

Li Ning'er sat on the bed, his face pale white.

Her hands, which were resting on her lap, were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of her hands were visible.

After an unknown period of time, she suddenly looked out of the window, a trace of hostility quickly flashing across her eyes.

Li Chenxuan, there will be a day when I will pay back all the pain and humiliation that you have inflicted on my body!

Qu Ling and a certain perverted general stubbornly resisted for half the night, and after getting taken advantage of, they finally could not resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

When her breathing calmed down, the man got up, twisted the quilt around her, and got off the bed.

Xiao Yi was waiting outside the courtyard. When he heard the door open, he immediately looked over.

Upon seeing his master come out, he hurried to welcome him.

Xiao Jingyue straightened the clothes on his body that were a little messy, and asked indifferently: "What is it?"

From the very beginning, he had already sensed Xiao Yi walking around the courtyard. Presumably, he had something important to report.

As a result, the moment Qu Ling fell asleep, he came out.

"This subordinate has received news that Xiao Er has returned. He will arrive at Qi Jing tomorrow morning. This subordinate will head out of the city tomorrow morning to pick him up."

How much time had passed? The injuries on Xiao Er's body had not completely healed yet.

If they continued to rush back to Qi Jing without stopping, their injuries might worsen.

Xiao Jingyue glanced at him, then said indifferently: "Accurate."

The next day, when Qu Ling woke up, he did not see Xiao Jingyue by his side either.

Aunt Tao came in and helped her up, saying: "General asked this old servant to tell Madam that Xiao went out to do some work, and told Madam not to go out today."

Qu Ling acknowledged it but did not take it to heart.

As far as she was concerned, there was no Xiao Yi in the past. She had been in the capital for so many years, so even if she were to leave, nothing would happen to her.

Thus, when Jiang Huo cried and said that Murong Yan was injured, she did not even think about it.

It scared Jiang Huo so much that he came crying to her, it must be serious.

Qu Ling hurriedly followed Jiang Huo towards the South Wind House, ignoring everyone around them.

Therefore, he did not realise that there were two women sneakily following behind her, following her all the way to the South Wind House s, and watching her enter the South Wind House s back door.

These two were the Eleventh Princess and her maids who had snuck out of the palace.

Eleventh Princess didn't dare to follow her in. After squatting at the back door of the South Wind House for a while, he led the maid out of the alley.

When he met someone walking past him, he immediately pulled him over and stuffed him with silver taels. He then asked, "Do you know where the end of this alley is?"

That person had never seen such a large silver ingot, his eyes immediately widened, and replied: "Miss, you're saying that it's South Wind House."

Eleventh Princess looked confused, "South Wind House?"

"Yeah." That person blinked, and revealed an ambiguous expression: "That South Wind House, to put it bluntly, is a Niu Lang Hall."

Eleventh Princess: "..."

After letting them go, she sneered and said to the maid beside her, "Let's go. We'll go back and borrow some people from royal brother. We must catch them on the spot this time!"

The maid obediently answered: "Yes."

Walking along the road, the Eleventh Princess muttered: "I don't know if there will be a next time."

She stopped in her tracks, and instructed the maid behind her: "Go back to the palace to look for General Xiao, tell him about this matter, and tell him to come here immediately.

"But... "Miss …"

Eleventh Princess cut her off, "But what are you doing, hurry up and go!"

The female attendant didn't dare to disobey and immediately left.

Eleventh Princess also unhurriedly rushed to the Eighth Prince Palace.

Inside the South Wind House, Murong Yan was bandaging his own wounds.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and he stopped in his tracks.

When he could see who it was, his expression slightly changed. He immediately threw away the bottle in his hand and pulled up his clothes in a flurry.

Qu Ling hurried forward to hold him down, then scolded him lightly: "The medicine hasn't been applied yet, why are you putting on your clothes."

Murong Yan did not reply as he glanced at Jiang Huo reproachfully.

Jiang Huo mischievously stuck her tongue out at him, then slipped away.

Just as Murong Yan was about to stop him, he saw from the corner of his eyes that Qu Ling had picked up a bottle of medicine and was going to apply it for him. He quickly stopped her and said: "I'll do it myself."

Qu Ling refused, "You're wounded on your back, how can you apply the medicine yourself?"

As she said that, she unhesitatingly pulled his hand away and carefully took off his clothes that were half worn.

Her pupils shrank as she saw the long cut on his back.

At this moment, Jiang Huo's guilty voice came from outside the door, "Big Brother Murong, you were hurt while trying to save me from this."

Murong Yan said: "Those assassins came for me."

Qu Ling glanced at him with her small face, not saying a word.

He went to the water basin to wash his hands, opened the medicine bottle, and poured some ointment on his finger, gently smearing it on the wound on his back.

After a while, he heard Murong Yan say gently: "Wipe as much as you want, I don't feel any pain."

Qu Ling said snappily: "Who's not afraid of pain!"

Murong Yan felt her anger, his face revealed a helpless smile, and he did not speak anymore.

After applying the medicine, Qu Ling then asked: "Do you recognize the origins of those assassins?"

Murong Yan shook his head, "It's hard to say if I can't see the martial arts path."

In fact, he was able to see that the martial arts skills of the killers were somewhat similar to Chu Yu's.

However, he didn't say that, as he didn't want to worry her.

Pausing for a moment, he comforted her, "Last night was just an accident. Just be careful in the future."

He comforted others even though he was injured.

Qu Ling forced herself not to pat his head when she realized that he was injured.

Imperial study.

After the discussion about the imperial court, the Emperor put down the imperial report in his hand and looked at the young general who was standing in front of the table.

After remaining silent for a while, he suddenly asked, "I heard that a few days ago, Xiao Aimin was carrying Madam on her back as she roamed the West Street?"

Xiao Jingyue did not plan to deny it, and nodded: "It's true."

The emperor's gaze darkened. "It's natural to be a man's doting wife, but don't be too excessive."

However, Xiao Jingyue said: "This subject does not feel that it's too excessive."

In his opinion, it was normal for him to be indulgent and indulgent, not to touch the national court, and not to hurt the national legal person.

However, the Emperor's face darkened.

He stared darkly at the general that he had always thought highly of, stared for a while, and finally restrained his anger.

After a while, he waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Xiao Jingyue immediately excused himself and stepped out of the royal study.

On the path to the Li Palace, a palace maid suddenly appeared and blocked his path.

The palace maid knelt down and saluted: "This servant greets General Xiao."

Xiao Jingyue asked coldly: "What is it?"

"Eleventh Princess ordered this servant to send a message to General Xiao. General Xiao, please head towards the South Wind House on West Street immediately …"
