When Xu Man heard the words "Minister of War Palace", her eyes flashed.

She had some business dealings with the father and son from the Minister of War Palace, and happened to be involved in the matter of selling poison Gu.

Although he knew that the people from the Minister of War Palace would not reveal him, he still felt somewhat panicked in his heart.

Without waiting for Qu Ling to speak, Xu Man said goodbye and said: "Since Mrs. Xiao has guests, then I will take my leave and come back later."

Thinking about Xu Manru and Li Chenxuan's past, Qu Ling vaguely guessed that she did not want to see the people from the Minister of War Palace, so she did not keep her.

Xu Man acted as if she did not want to see the people from the Minister of War Palace. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Can you let me leave through the back door?"

Qu Ling nodded slightly, "Feel free to do so."

"Thank you very much." As if cupping her hands, Xu Man turned around and walked in the direction of the backyard.

When she passed by Xiao Jingyue, her footsteps paused, and her expression became somewhat subtle.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any intention of responding to her, she cupped her hands in a gesture of respect and silently left.

After Xu Manru's figure had disappeared from his line of sight, Qu Ling then asked Xiao Yi, "Who is it that has come?"

Xiao Yi replied, "It's Minister's Wife and Madam Li."

Qu Ling did not expect that Li Ning'er would actually come as well. Stunned, he immediately said: "Invite them in."

"Yes." Xiao Yi replied and left.

At the same time, Xiao Er walked to Xiao Jingyue's side and said in a low voice: "This subordinate met His Highness at the back door just now. His Highness asked this subordinate to inform the general that there were matters in the capital that this subordinate needs to attend to, so this subordinate will be going first."

Ever since he had arrived in the city, the Eighth Prince had been secretly contacting his people. Xiao Jingyue was not surprised, and said with a cold smile: "Follow him."

Since he was in such a hurry to return, he probably wanted to rush back to Tong Huai Palace in order to deal with the East Palace.

It's better to split up as soon as possible.

On the other side, Minister's Wife and Li Ning'er entered the inn under Xiao Yi's lead.

Seeing Li Ning'er's pale face, Qu Ling was shocked.

Logically speaking, the medicine she gave Li Chenxuan should have lasted for three months, but she had only left for more than a month.

Could it be that the medicine had failed in advance?

Although he was shocked, Qu Ling did not reveal any difference on his face. He smiled and invited the two to take a seat.

In the end, he still had a request from someone. Minister's Wife put on a kind smile on his face as he asked Qu Ling a question.

Xiao San carried the hot tea out and silently withdrew.

Minister's Wife held up a cup of hot tea and looked at Li Ning'er secretly.

Li Ning'er pretended not to see it, and his tone naturally began to chat with Qu Ling about random things: "This time coming to Jiangnan, did you encounter any interesting things?"

Minister's Wife was so angry that he rolled his eyes on the inside.

Qu Ling pretended not to see the Minister's Wife's stiff smile. He shot Li Ning'er a glance and said: "Tong Huai Palace spends the entire day in the rain and I don't even feel like going out of my room. How could I have encountered any interesting things, I'm even about to suffocate to death. On the other hand, how have you been since I left the capital? "

On the surface, he was asking about Li Ning'er, but he was secretly referring to Li Chenxuan.

After all, only after Li Chenxuan was better would he be better.

But from the looks of it, Li Ning'er was not doing very well.

Li Ning'er's eyes flashed, and he laughed bitterly: "Originally it was pretty good, but now it's not good."

Qu Ling heard the meaning behind her words and his heart sank.

Looking at Li Ning'er's pale and bloodless face, his expression gradually turned serious.

The atmosphere became heavy in an instant.

Minister's Wife looked at them quietly, his heart moved.

After a moment of silence, Qu Ling suddenly turned to look at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yan understood and immediately brought the shopkeeper and waiter, who were hiding behind the counter and looking in their direction, with him.

In an instant, only the three women who were sitting in the hall and Xiao Jingyue who was hiding in the shadows at the back door remained in the huge inn.

Not only Xiao Er and Xiao San, even Xiao Yi himself had retreated outside the door.

After the scene was cleared, the inn became even quieter.

Qu Ling raised his gaze to look at Minister's Wife, and asked softly: "Did Minister's Wife come this time to tell young master?"

Minister's Wife did not expect Qu Ling to actually know about Li Chenxuan's situation, and was shocked, "Mrs. Xiao, you …."

Qu Ling did not explain, but asked: "But Young Master Li, the parasite in your body is acting up again?"

When Minister's Wife thought about what happened last night, his expression suddenly became somewhat ugly.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out with some difficulty, "Yes."

Qu Ling's eyes congealed, "Do you know the reason?"

Minister's Wife naturally knew of the cause of this matter and it was she who had single-handedly caused it.

However, this kind of thing was too embarrassing to say. Thus, her expression instantly became extremely ugly and she was unable to speak for a long time.

Li Ning'er looked at his mother-in-law and sneered in his heart.

If this woman had not acted on her own accord and indiscriminately fed Li Chenxuan those despicable medicines, Li Chenxuan would not have sent her the Gu in advance, and would not have cut off her arm and let her bleed.

However, hatred was resentment. When this matter was said, not to mention the culprit who caused this disgrace, her face would also lose its luster. Thus, she did not say anything.

Seeing that they were not willing to speak, Qu Ling also became silent.

Actually, she did not necessarily need to know. Once the Gu is sent out, the Gu is sent out. As long as it is not a Gu Transformation, the problems that the Gu dispels will be easily solved.

After waiting for a while, seeing that they were still not willing to speak, although Qu Ling was curious, he was too lazy to continue asking. He asked: "Does young master Li have any cold symptoms?"

Minister's Wife heaved a sigh of relief, gently shook his head, "No."

"It's good that there's nothing at all." Qu Ling said, "The reason the Minister's Wife specially came to look for me, should be because he heard that I am capable of deciphering Soul Borrowing Gu. I can indeed remove the parasite, but it's different for the people who were afflicted with it. Not everyone can survive after removing the parasite, so not everyone can remove the parasite.

Minister's Wife's heart skipped a beat and he immediately asked, "May I ask what kind of situation it is in that can be solved?"

"The parasite is not something that can be dispelled when it is in an incurable state. On the other hand, even if he couldn't use medical skills, it would be useless to remove the Gu. Because after the Gu Worm was lured out, in an extremely short period of time, people would be able to recover back to their previous state before they were infected by the parasite, and thus be able to live after being treated. "

Afraid that the Minister's Wife did not understand, Qu Ling continued to explain: "Minister's Wife should know, that this parasite can only take effect after a person dies. If it was like the person who released the parasite and injured the lifeline, then there would still be a thread of life left. If it was not able to grab onto the strand of life and died, then the parasite can be dispelled. "

When Minister's Wife heard that, his face immediately became as pale as Li Ning'er.

Different from Huo Xinyi, Li Chenxuan did not die from poison.

At that time, Li Chenxuan's body was in a very bad condition. It was bad to the point that if you did not take the medicine on time, you would die within fifteen minutes.

According to Qu Ling's words, he could remove the poison from Li Chenxuan's body, but after that, his body would recover to its previous state.

Right, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world?

Thinking about how her son was being tormented everyday on his sickbed, the Minister's Wife hesitated.

If he couldn't live well and was constantly facing death, what was the point in living like this?

Since things had already come to this, Qu Ling told them to think about it when they got back, and did not say anymore.

After the two of them left, Qu Ling asked Xiao Yi who came in: "Where is your master?"

Xiao Yi did not reply, raising his head to look behind Qu Ling.

Qu Ling followed his gaze and turned, only to see Xiao Jingyue walking over.

She suddenly thought of something and asked in disbelief, "You've been hiding there and eavesdropping?"
