Xiao Yi and the Xiao Er moved forward at the same time and supported Xiao Jingyue.

"Xiao Jingyue, what's wrong?"

Qu Ling quickly ran over and grabbed his shoulder, wanting to check his situation.

Who knew that before she could do anything, the man in front of her trembled and spat out another mouthful of blood.

The next moment, he fell into her arms and lost consciousness.

Xiao Er immediately pulled Xiao Jingyue out of Qu Ling's embrace, turned around and carried him on his back, running towards the direction of the study room without stopping.

Xiao Si thought about his responsibilities and followed along, while hesitating to look at the stunned Qu Ling.

She seemed to have suddenly come back to her senses and chased after him.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi followed without any hesitation.

When the few of them reached the underground secret room, Xiao Er placed Xiao Jingyue on the wooden bed and Qu Ling immediately pounced on him.

However, before his hand could touch the man on the couch, the man's body suddenly trembled violently, and another mouthful of blood gushed out from his lips.

Qu Ling's hand that was extended out into the air froze.

She stopped for a moment. Suddenly, she stood up and took a few steps back.

Perhaps it was her misconception, but the man on the bed seemed to have calmed down a little after she retreated.

Seeing this situation, an extremely absurd thought flashed through her mind, and her pupils shrank.

Is it possible...

She had an extremely complicated expression as she stared at the man on the bed for a moment. Gritting her teeth and holding onto a sliver of hope, she once again walked over.

As she got closer, the man on the bed started to spasm again without any warning. Traces of blood even started to slowly appear on his face.

Her small face turned pale and she didn't dare to continue moving forward. She subconsciously took a few steps back.

Xiao Yi and the Xiao Er both looked at Qu Ling, who was acting extremely strangely, at the same time with a puzzled expression.

"Madam?" Xiao Yi called out.

Qu Ling acted as if he was suddenly shocked awake, turned around abruptly and ran towards the stone stairs leading out of the secret room.

"Madam!" Xiao Yi hurriedly followed him.

The Xiao Er beside the bed had a gloomy expression as he helped Xiao Jingyue wipe the blood off the corner of his mouth, and he also left the secret room.

Walking to the door of the study room, he summoned a guard, ordering him to immediately ride on a horse to the camp to invite Chen Linye over.

Qu Ling ran all the way back to the Pure Wind House, rushed into the bedroom, and rummaged through the greyish-white bag on the table that he had not collected in time.

After a moment, he finally took out a porcelain bottle and poured out a purplish black pill from within.

She put the pill back into the bottle and was about to run out with the bottle when she suddenly thought of something and stopped.

"Madam?"

Xiao Yi chased her to the door but didn't come in.

Qu Ling's hand that was holding onto the porcelain bottle tightened, he pursed his lips and as though he had made his decision, he walked towards the door.

She handed the small porcelain bottle to Xiao Yi with lowered eyes. With a slightly hoarse voice, she said, "Take it and let him consume it."

Xiao Yi did not doubt him. He received the porcelain bottle and quickly said, "Madam, please stay in the courtyard and don't run around." Then, he took the porcelain bottle and left.

"Miss!" Hearing the noise, the Aunt Tao who was rushing over exclaimed as he quickly went forward to support Qu Ling.

Qu Ling waved away Aunt Tao with a pale face, then returned to his room and sat down by the side of the table, forcing himself to calm down and sort out the events of the day.

She had only gone out today and hadn't met any random passersby. However, after returning, the Jade Scorpion suddenly avoided her.

That was the first odd thing.

She thought that since she was infected by the Gu, she would be able to use the silver needles and potions to test the Gu, and there would be nothing out of the ordinary about it.

Go find Murong Yan, Murong told her that she was fine.

Since she was unharmed, she had taken a bath and changed her clothes. However, the Jade Scorpion was still afraid of her.

This was the second oddity.

Then, Xiao Jingyue appeared, wanting to get close to her, but suddenly spat out blood while walking …

And just now in the secret chamber, whenever she got close to him, his body would be abnormal and he would vomit blood. Once he was gone, he would be at peace.

This was the third oddity.

After connecting the three strange things together, she had come to a cruel conclusion: Today, she was not seventeen. The reason why Xiao Jingyue suddenly activated the parasite was because she had a "thing" on her.

She clutched her head in pain, unable to understand what had gone wrong with her.

In the secret room, Xiao Yi fed the pills in the porcelain bottle to Xiao Jingyue.

Xiao Er frowned and asked: "What is it?"

When Xiao Jingyue swallowed the pill, Xiao Yi secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Before he could finish his sentence, the chest of the man on the bed suddenly heaved up and down.

He suddenly turned around, lying on his stomach and spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

"Master!"

Xiao Yi and Xiao Er's expressions changed at the same time.

In the next moment, when they saw that the blood veins on Xiao Jingyue's face had started to swell and form many fine lines, fear emerged from both of their eyes.

Upon seeing this, the usually calm Xiao Er instantly went out of control.

He rushed over and grabbed Xiao Yi's collar, his eyes scarlet as he angrily roared, "What exactly did you give Master to eat?!"

Xiao Yi did not know that this would happen either. He looked at Xiao Er for a moment with a grey expression and finished the last part of his words, "… "A pill from the Madam."

"Damn it!"

Xiao Er muttered an incantation, flung Xiao Yi to the side, raised his sword and rushed out like a madman.

"Xiao Er!"

Xiao Yi's expression changed. Afraid that the Xiao Er would angrily hack the matriarch into two, he crawled up from the ground in a sorry state and chased after her.

Just as he ran out of the study room, he almost bumped into a black figure.

When Xiao Yi saw who it was, his face revealed a trace of happiness. He said in a hurry, "You came back at the right time. You go guard Master. I'll make a trip to the Clear Wind Academy."

With that, he quickly ran in the direction of the Clear Wind Academy without waiting for that person to speak.

When he arrived at the Pure Wind House, he was so scared that his soul almost left his body when he saw the Xiao Er pointing the sword at Qu Ling.

"Xiao Er, what are you doing?!"

The Xiao Er ignored her, raising his sword with a gloomy face, pointing at the lady in front of him, he growled and asked: "What did you give Master to eat?!"

Qu Ling stood there silently, his face as pale as snow.

If she still didn't understand what had happened, then she would be a fool.

It was definitely because something went wrong with the pill that Xiao Er went crazy and ran over to find her.

However, the pill that she had personally made would definitely not be a problem …

Unless someone had tampered with the pill while she was gone.

If she hadn't carefully examined it earlier, it would have been useless to dwell on this now. Just thinking of Xiao Jingyue's current situation made her feel as if there were thousands of ants gnawing at her heart.

Even when she hated him the most, she had never thought of harming him.

Qu Ling's eyes became hot, he sniffed, ignoring the sword at his neck, he turned and walked in.

The sharp edge of the sword drew a mark on her white neck, but she acted as if she didn't feel it as she walked towards the table.

Xiao Er looked at him coldly, neither stopping him nor following him.

"Madam …" Xiao opened her mouth.

In the next moment, the bodies of the two Dark Guard s standing at the door to the bedroom shook, and their pupils suddenly shrank.

The lady had a teacup in one hand and a hairpin in the other. She stabbed the silver hairpin into her heart without hesitation.
