This time, the people from the Minister of War Palace were with their son and daughter-in-law, and the people from the Caoital Officials Palace were naturally Li Ning'er's parents.
No matter what, even if someone bumped into Li Ning'er yesterday in order to cause her to knock him down, it was true that they had injured him after using him as a cushion.
Although Xiao Jingyue's status in the imperial court had plummeted, there was still the Prime Minister Jiang and Empress Jiang standing behind him. If he did not want to become enemies with them, then it was reasonable for the Minister of War Palace and the Caoital Officials Palace to come over to apologize.
Therefore, Minister's Wife and his wife had come today. Furthermore, they had arrived early in the morning bearing gifts to apologize.
After Xiao Jingyue leisurely finished washing his face and rinsing his mouth, he did not let Qu Ling follow him.
After he left, Qu Ling was no longer sleepy, he stared at the roof of the tent bored to death for a long time before calling Aunt Tao to help him wake up.
After washing up and eating breakfast, she noticed that she had not seen Xiao Yi's figure since last night. She asked the Aunt Tao: "Where is Xiao Yi?"
The one who had returned to her was the Xiao Er that appeared from the shadows. The one that Qu Ling had sent to the unmarked cemetery to collect the Bone Eating Insects yesterday.
"Xiao Yi knew that he had failed his duty and went to retrieve his twenty soldiers. Currently, the servant is lying in his room. Madam can instruct me to do anything you need." With that, Xiao Er took off a small basket from his waist, and brought it in front of Qu Ling with both hands, "Madam, I have already gathered a hundred Bone Eating Insects."
Qu Ling indicated for the Aunt Tao to take the basket and asked: "Are your injuries serious?"
Amongst Xiao Jingyue's Dark Guard, the one who was with her the longest was Xiao Yi, and the one she was most familiar with was Xiao Yi.
Putting aside the fact that Xiao Yi's mind was not often enough, in other respects, she was actually rather satisfied with him, this Dark Guard.
Moreover, she couldn't blame him for what happened yesterday. Now that she heard that he had been punished and even injured because of her request, she naturally cared about him.
The Xiao Er calmly replied: "I only broke a layer of my skin. I will be able to get up after a few days of rest. Madam, you do not have to worry."
Qu Ling, "..."
Break a layer of flesh, forget it.
She didn't really understand what these rough guys meant by how serious their injuries were.
Because of this sudden incident, Qu Ling was forced to recuperate in the courtyard for a few days.
During this time, Jiang Huo and Ah Xin had come over once, so Empress Jiang of the palace had also sent someone to visit Qu Ling, and had even brought over many precious herbs.
I heard that the crown prince also came here once, but was blocked by Xiao Jingyue and prevented from seeing Qu Ling.
In just a few short days, among the people who were familiar with Qu Ling, other than Murong Yan who had returned to the Murong Villa, only Jin Yi had not come.
Qu Ling asked Jiang Huo.
Jiang Huo replied: "I'm not too sure either, I just feel that she's been sleeping in her room all day. Other than going to the toilet, she barely comes out. Not only that, but he also ate a lot. One person could eat two portions. If Ah Xin did not go in to look, I would have suspected that someone was hiding in her house. "
After hearing Jiang Huo's words, Qu Ling thought back to it carefully, and realized that something was wrong when she went to look for her in the South Wind House on the east street.
"What is Miss thinking?" Aunt Tao walked in with a cold body and a bowl of black medicine.
The moment Qu Ling saw the bowl of medicine, his face immediately fell, "Can I not not drink it?"
She drank it twice a day, and after so many days, her bitterness had almost turned into a medicine jar.
Aunt Tao pushed the medicine bowl into her hands, "You can't not drink it!"
Pausing for a moment, she then threatened and added, "If Miss doesn't want to drink, this old servant will go and tell the general to come and urge you to drink."
When he thought of how Xiao Jingyue was a hooligan with her lips pressed against hers, Qu Ling's little face couldn't help but turn red. She immediately brought the medicine bowl to her lips, pinched her nose and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that she had finished, the Aunt Tao took the empty bowl and gave her a jujube.
Qu Ling took some honey dates, and as the bitterness subsided, he told Aunt Tao about Jin Yi's matter.
Aunt Tao pondered for a moment, and said: "If that's the case, then it is indeed a little strange. Do you want this old servant to go to South Wind House to take a look at that girl? "
Qu Ling thought for a while, then nodded his head and agreed.
Just as Aunt Tao was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something and said: "That's right, this old servant heard that General has caught the person who pushed Madam Li."
You caught it? Qu Ling raised his head in a daze, the honey date that was half-chewed in his mouth.
"He seems to be a servant girl by Lady Li's side. His name is Zhu. This old servant has forgotten …" Although that servant came from the Caoital Officials Palace, with so many pairs of eyes watching her, that Caoital Officials would not dare to shield her. "
Qu Ling was quiet for a moment, after chewing the dates in his mouth, he asked: "What did Ning'er say?"
Aunt Tao shook his head, "This old servant doesn't know."
Ever since her young mistress had been injured, she had never left her house, so she wasn't very clear on what had happened to the outside world.
After Aunt Tao went down, Qu Ling called him over and asked him about this.
Because Xiao Jingyue had never instructed them not to say anything, Xiao Er practically did not think much of it and continued, "To be disrespectful to your master, and maliciously injure the wife of a government official, no matter which one is considered a heinous crime to a servant. That servant girl called Qiu Zhu is currently imprisoned by the Caoital Officials. Within two days, there will be an outcome. "
As for what the result was, although the Xiao Er did not say it explicitly, Qu Ling had already guessed it.
Any servant who has committed a great sin will end up with a cane or a bowl of poison.
Qu Ling asked again: "How's the situation with Ning'er?"
Li Ning'er had a rather close relationship with her. Qiu Zhu had grown up with her, so she should have feelings for Qiu Zhu.
The Xiao Er hesitated for a moment before replying, "The day before yesterday, Madam Li came to the mansion to request to see Madam.
Hearing that, Qu Ling stood up, subconsciously wanting to go out.
However, just as he was about to step out of the door, he suddenly stopped and didn't take another step forward.
Xiao Er turned and stared deeply at her. He did not make a sound, nor did he stop her.
The snowstorm outside was rather heavy, and the cold wind that carried snow blew onto Qu Ling's face, bringing about a bone-piercing chill.
She lowered her eyes and held the door frame for a moment. Then, without saying a word, she returned to her original position and sat down.
After a long silence, she said in a hoarse voice, "Forget it, I don't want to care about it anymore."
In the end, she had never owed Li Ning'er, so there was no need to go against him for this.
That day, Xiao Jingyue had already released words in front of everyone saying that she would investigate this matter thoroughly, and now that the person was found, she could not let him let him go.
What's the difference between this and a thunderstorm?
If that was the case, how could he establish his might?
Compared to Xiao Jingyue, this friend of hers, who could not be considered a good one, she naturally chose her husband.
Xiao Er did not know what Qu Ling was thinking, and seeing her give up, the good impression towards her in his heart increased even more.
After who knows how long had passed, Qu Ling suddenly asked: "How did Xiao Jingyue figure it out?"
Xiao Er paused even longer this time before replying, "It's Miss Murong. That day, Lady Murong was also present. She found Master and identified Madam Li's servant Qiu Zhu. "
