C189 Don't Pamper Her too Much

Southwest border, Hengfeng Town.

Inside the old inn, the man in black reported the news he just received in a low voice.

The man whose face was so beautiful it was hard to distinguish between a man and a woman had a dark expression as he asked, "Is this true?"

The man in black nodded. "Absolutely."

This was already at the border of Qi Nation, so news came late. Most of the people who were closer to Qing-Huai Manor and Qi Jing already knew that Qu Ling could solve the problem of the Soul Borrowing Gu.

Rong Xi remained silent and suddenly looked at Jin Yi.

After leaving the Huai Palace, their brother led them all the way to the southwest before finally stopping at this small town.

These days, this woman clearly had many opportunities to escape. In fact, her elder brother had even secretly let her go, but she refused to do so.

What did she want to do?

The man in black stood to the side and continued, "Gray also found out about this and sent someone to investigate in Qi Jing."

Even though it was an investigation, everyone who knew Gray also knew that those people were there to cause trouble for Qu Ling.

Their original intention in selling Soul Borrowing Gu was not only to earn money, but also to corrode the country of Qi.

Now that Qi Country had someone who could solve Soul Borrowing Gu problems, this person was still with their team, so it was not a good thing for them.

Rong Xi was not interested in Qu Ling's safety and quietly sized up the embroidered clothes.

After following by Rong Xi's side for a long time, the embroidered clothes were no longer as timid as it was initially, and could be seen through easily.

"Xi'er." Chu Yu walked in with a cold aura.

Rong Xi retracted his gaze, and turned to look at his brother, his expression relaxed, and gently called out: "Brother."

Chu Yu raised his hand to send away the black clothed man who was waiting at the side, and said in a heavy voice: "Foster father has come out."

Rong Xi's face changed slightly.

He was extremely clear about his foster father's character.

If he let his foster father know about the things that he and his elder brother had been doing recently …

Chu Yu's gaze swept across Rong Xi's arm that had been held in place for a long time, and his eyes dimmed.

After a while, he said warmly, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

Rong Xi met his gaze, and a smile slowly appeared on her exquisite and beautiful face.

There was no impurities in it. It contained the complete trust of his heart.

Chu Yu still had things to do, so he ate with Rong Xi before leaving.

Before fully recovering from his injuries, Rong Xi sat for a while and then felt tired.

She helped him back to his room and removed his coat and boots with practiced movements.

One of the servants brought the medicine up, and Jin Yi accepted the bowl. After testing the temperature with a gentle sip, he put it to Rong Xi's lips.

Rong Xi glanced at her, lowered his head, and finished the medicine.

The medicine tasted bitter and bitter, and when it entered his throat, it made him feel as if he was about to vomit.

Rong Xi sat quietly for a good while before he slowly walked over.

Jin Yi stood up and was about to take out the empty medicine bowl when Rong Xi suddenly pulled her arm.

"Wait."

Jin Yi stopped and turned around expressionlessly.

Rong Xi shifted his gaze away, and said indifferently: "Go back to Qu Ling's side."

Jin Yi shook his head and refused. "No."

As long as she was puzzled by the poison in her body, she wouldn't return to xiaojie's side for even a day.

"The antidote is in my foster father's hands. He definitely won't give you the antidote."

This medicine was originally meant for Qu Ling, but he used it on her without permission, so when her foster father found out, he would definitely be furious.

He was not afraid of punishment.

On the other hand, this woman couldn't die yet.

"No," she repeated.

Rong Xi looked at her for a moment, then suddenly pulled on her arm, pulling her down.

Her beautiful eyes looked directly into hers as she said with a smile that was not a smile, "What? You can't bear to part with me?"

When the sky darkened, Qu Ling asked Xiao Yi to report to Xiao Jingyue.

Before leaving the South Wind House, he sneakily went to the junk room to steal a book.

Carrying the "stolen item", he led Jiang Huo and Ah Xin to the Prime Minister Mansion s.

Prime Minister Jiang had not returned yet, the one who came out to welcome the three "Little Ancestors" was the butler, Tao Bo.

After the Aunt Tao left the Prime Minister Mansion, the courtyard that Qu Ling used to live in was not abandoned, and was always taken care of by Tao Bo.

When Jiang Huo and Ah Xin were free occasionally, they would help take care of the poisonous bugs in the Hundred Insect Lake and the Gu in the small hut.

The scenery in the courtyard was no different from before Qu Ling's wedding.

Qu Ling looked at the fat and sturdy Six-Serpent Worm Insects in the Hundred Worms Pond, and thought of the Blood Spider that had died for him, and couldn't help but feel sad.

In terms of mockery, those who wanted her life were the same type of people as well.

Those snake-bug and mouse ants that were loathed by the world had instead saved her life.

Qu Ling exhaled lightly, sat down with his legs crossed, took out the flute from his sleeve, and started playing with it on his lips.

What she was playing was a song about "Sacrifice", which could be considered as "Exorcism" for the Blood Spider.

Seeing that, Xiao San who was following them quietly retreated a little.

As the flute's flute sounded, the Hundred Insect Lake, which was originally quiet, became restless.

The small poisonous creatures seemed to be summoned, desperately climbing towards the pool wall.

At the same time, rustling sounds came from the surrounding trees and grass.

All the living beings who were hiding in the vicinity, other than the few that had heard the voices, all rushed towards Qu Ling.

They surrounded her and the Hundred Insects Pool in a large, densely packed, frightening circle, dancing along with the flute music.

Jiang Huo and Ah Xin looked at this scene in shock, their jaws dropping to the ground.

Xiao San who had long since stood far away, even if he had seen this scene many times, at this moment, he felt extremely shocked.

When the sky darkened completely, the Prime Minister Jiang finally returned with Xiao Jingyue and his two Dark Guard s following behind him.

The entire family sat down around the round table. Prime Minister Jiang sized Qu Ling up from head to toe, and sighed as he shook his head: "You have slimmed down quite a bit."

Qu Ling disagreed, "It's good to be a bit thinner, I think I was too fat before."

"Nonsense." Xiao Jingyue reprimanded her softly, then placed the piece of meat into Qu Ling's mouth.

Qu Ling bitterly looked at the bowl of meat, "How many times have I said that, I won't eat fat?"

Jiang Huo scolded him with a straight face: "How many times have I said it, picking on food is not right!"

Qu Ling could not be bothered and placed the meat back into Xiao Jingyue's bowl.

Whether it was right or wrong, she didn't eat fat.

Xiao Jingyue did not force her and ate it himself.

Seeing that, Prime Minister Jiang was relieved, but he spoke to Xiao Jingyue: "This lass will be brilliant if we give her some sunlight, don't pamper her too much."

Qu Ling was unhappy, "What's wrong with spoiling me?

Xiao Jingyue chuckled, and did not reply.

After dinner, Prime Minister Jiang asked about the Soul Borrowing Gu.

Qu Ling said: "Grandfather, don't worry, I am not willing to help anyone."

Who knew how many Soul Borrowing Gu were sold, if everyone saved her, she would definitely die of exhaustion.

"Stupid girl, you only know how to mess around!" Prime Minister Jiang fumed and cursed, "Since you're back, don't run around anymore. "To put it harshly, you are not the Bodhisattva Guan Yin who saved lives. You do not have the obligation to save lives. No matter what, you have to put your own safety at the top of your priorities …"

Qu Ling patiently listened, and when Prime Minister Jiang finished, it was already late in the night.

The two of them bade farewell to the Prime Minister Jiang.

Prime Minister Jiang led Jiang Huo and Ah Xin to the entrance of the palace and suddenly said: "Your Empress' birthday is almost here."

Xiao Jingyue turned his head, and looked at Prime Minister Jiang with heavy eyes.

Prime Minister Jiang also looked at him without batting an eyelid.

The two of them exchanged a glance, and they immediately parted ways.

Qu Ling was startled for a moment, and obediently replied: "I understand, I'll prepare a present for aunt tomorrow."

There was everything inside the palace, but the empress liked things that could not be seen outside the palace, even if they were worthless little things.

Every year, on the Queen's birthday, Qu Ling would bring some rare things to her from the people, and this year was no exception.

Right now, there was still about half a month before the Queen's birthday, so he was not in a rush right now.

She remembered that Xiao Jingyue had told her before that after returning to the General Mansion, she had to "clean" her up …
