C194 Caution

The child's forehead was full of sweat as he panted heavily. He occasionally coughed lightly, but his brows were tightly knitted. He looked very uncomfortable.

Qu Ling walked to the bench beside the bed and sat down, and started to size up the child.

He was very thin and very small. It was obvious that he was chronically malnourished.

Coupled with the fact that he was gravely ill, he felt a sense of dejection.

At the same time as Qu Ling was sizing up his child, his child was also looking at her.

He wasn't afraid of death at all, and his unblinking eyes looked at Qu Ling, his eyes filled with curiosity.

Qu Ling smiled at him and asked softly: "What is your name?"

The child said hoarsely, "It's Lele."

"Le Le, that's a good name." The smile on Qu Ling's face became even more gentle, "How old is Le Le?

Le Le coughed twice before obediently replying, "Seven years old."

Qu Ling carefully helped the child up, and then picked up the soft pillow for him to lean on. He thought to himself, why does she look like she's around four or five years old?

Even young children liked to say that they grew up because they were big kids. Le Le Le smiled at Qu Ling and said softly: "Big sister is so pretty."

Qu Ling was also amused, "Thank you, thank you. You are also very cute."

After the duo finished playing, Qu Ling casually chatted with Le Le Le for a while longer. Seeing that it was about time, he started to trick Yue Yang.

Ask him about his family and whether he's talked to any strangers lately.

The world of children was very simple, especially children who grew up in the people.

After chatting for awhile, Le Le had already let go of his guard around Qu Ling and started to reply honestly.

Not long after, Xiao Jingyue and Chen Linye returned.

When Le Le saw the two of them, she immediately stopped talking.

Qu Ling rubbed his little head, and warmly asked: "Are you hungry? "Elder sister will get someone to send you food."

When he was sick, his appetite wouldn't be good. Le Le shook his head, looked at the two men at the table and whispered: "I'm sleepy."

"Fine." Qu Ling laid him down and covered him with a blanket, "Go to sleep, big sister will come back later to see you."

Le Le looked at Xiao Jingyue and Chen Linye again, and obediently nodded his head, then obediently closed his eyes and went to sleep.

The three of them walked out of the room, Qu Ling closed the door gently and led the two of them into the courtyard, telling them what he had just heard from Le Le Le's mouth.

Chen Linye said with a darkened face: "When I asked him, he didn't say anything, and to think I would take care of him like this."

Qu Ling asked: "What do you mean?"

Chen Linye was silent.

How else could he ask? Of course, he would ask directly.

The three of them went to the study room to look through the cards they had received this morning.

Most of the people who posted were officials who knew Xiao Jingyue or Xiao Jingyue, but none of them were people who were good friends with him.

After the three of them finished flipping through the books, they did not find any sick children in their homes.

Chen Linye put down the card in his hand and sighed: "Looks like the family that wants to test this Gu is Shang Jia's home."

After pausing for a moment, he turned to Qu Ling and asked: "Mrs. Xiao, do you know of any families that have extremely spoiled children with serious illnesses?"

Amongst the three of them, Qu Ling had the best understanding of the situation in the capital, and he was also a businessman.

Qu Ling looked at him, and replied without answering the question: "Everyone is already quite familiar with each other, let's not talk about Mrs. Xiao s being short."

Chen Linye was startled, then laughed out loud: Alright, I won't call you Mrs. Xiao, then I will do the same to everyone else, and call you Ah Ling?

Xiao Jingyue coldly looked at Chen Linye and said: "Not familiar!"

However, Chen Linye ignored him, and asked Qu Ling smilingly: "Ah Ling, do you know which merchant's family has a seriously ill child?"

Qu Ling thought about it seriously and talked about the two families.

One of them was surnamed Chen and the other was surnamed Liu.

Qu Ling suddenly thought of something, and said: "That Liu family, has some connections with the Minister's Wife. Madam Liu is Minister's Wife's cousin. "

She had heard of this from Jiang Huo.

The wife of the Liu family was the last string of that merchant surnamed Liu. After marrying into the Liu family, she gave birth to a young master every few years. The little gongzi had once studied at the Academy with Jiang Huo, but because the little gongzi was sick, he didn't go back to the Academy.

Chen Linye frowned, and said thoughtfully: "That means that the Liu Family knowing about the Soul Borrowing Gu was most likely introduced by the Minister's Wife. But I remember that the two Miao Boundary people who sold the parasite to Huo Xinyi and Li Chenxuan were already dead, how did they find a new person who was selling the parasite? "

Qu Ling remembered something else, and said: "When I was injured and landed in Li Chenxuan's hands, I had heard Li Chenxuan and Xu Manru's conversation."

Xiao Jingyue said in a low voice: "Go investigate!"

Chen Linye nodded strongly, got up and left the study room.

In the following two days, they busied themselves.

One portion of the family members who had been sent a greeting letter had sent a letter back, while the other portion had never been received again.

Qu Ling picked families who had good relations with his grandfather and set them aside. Xiao Yi took care of the rest.

On this day, Qu Ling received two more letters, these two letters were brought over by Jiang Huo and Ah Xin.

One of them was written by Prime Minister Jiang, and he scolded the entire letter.

Those who were probably scolding her for not seeing anyone brought trouble to this old man, and those who could not see her ran over to Prime Minister Mansion to plead with him.

Qu Ling did not know that his grandfather and his husband was "opposing each other" in the imperial court, he only thought it was strange, and muttered: "From the Prime Minister Mansion to the General Mansion, there is only a few steps, if he has anything, he can just come over and say it, what letter is he passing on?"

Jiang Huo blinked his eyes, "How would I know?"

These grown-ups of his were so complicated that he could not understand it, nor could he be bothered to understand it.

Therefore, Qu Ling opened another letter and read it.

The letter was simple, with only two words: Be careful.

Qu Ling's face changed, and immediately asked Jiang Huo: Who sent this letter?

Jiang Huo turned his head to look at Ah Xin who was eating his melon seeds. Ah Xin spat out the melon seed shell and said, "A little beggar brought this over. He said that he wanted to give it to you.

Jiang Huo looked at the two words on the letter and frowned. "Look at the handwriting, it seems like …"

Qu Ling put down the letter and said: "Jinyi."

After sending Jiang Huo and Ah Xin off, Qu Ling clutched the letter and fell into a daze at the long corridor.

Aunt Tao took out a cape to help Qu Ling put it on, and continued to talk: "Although the weather is warm, young miss, your body is not good, you still have to pay attention."

Qu Ling passed the letter to the Aunt Tao, "Take it and burn it."

Aunt Tao took it and turned to leave.

"Madam." Xiao Yi appeared behind Qu Ling, "Master has ordered someone to send a message back to the manor. We will be returning late tonight, and will not be back for dinner."

In the past two days, Xiao Jingyue and Chen Linye did not know what they were busy with, and went out early in the morning, only returning after nightfall.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even come back for dinner tonight.

Qu Ling did not say anything, but just as he was about to turn back and return to his room, he saw Xiao San walking over, clasping his hands together: "Madam, Eleventh Princess requests an audience."

Qu Ling's eyelids jumped, he almost replied without thinking: "I won't!"

She was busy enough now, but she didn't have time to deal with that retarded 250.

Xiao San continued: "Eleventh Princess said that he has something to tell Madam about. It concerns Master, if you do not listen, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Qu Ling's footsteps paused, and he helplessly said: "Invite her to the side chamber."
