C197 Vinegar?

That guard was not a tough nut to crack. If he was, he wouldn't have been easily bribed by others.

With Chen Linye's casual threatening, he brought up the whole matter.

"It's Liu..." Master Liu, he gave me a sum of silver and a packet of medicine, and told me to find a way to feed it to the child in the western courtyard. He also said that the medicine wouldn't immediately take the child's life, and would only flare up after two to three days. If he could do it cleanly, the people from General Mansion … you won't find out anything about me. "

The bowl of medicine, Xiao Yi, did not dump them, but stayed behind and placed in Chen Linye's hands.

Qu Ling turned and asked Chen Linye: "Does General Chen know what kind of medicine that is?"

"It's a kind of chronic poison. Ordinary people wouldn't feel any discomfort if they only took it once, but that child's body is extremely weak. If they really drink it, it might only last for fifteen minutes." Chen Linye paused for a moment, then laughed, "Why do you call me General Chen? I am older than Jing Yue, shouldn't you call me Big Brother Chen?"

Qu Ling then called out to him, "Brother Chen."

Hearing the conversation between the two, the guard widened his eyes in disbelief.

When he looked at the guard again, the smile on his face had disappeared completely. He snorted and said: "I advise you to explain everything, if not, even if I do not touch you and release you, you will not have a life to leave the capital."

"I... I really don't know. " The guard continued to lower his head, his eyes flashing. He did not reveal any expression on his face, but his tone was filled with fear and panic as he said, "I owe the gambling debt, so Master Liu came to find me … He only asked me to help, not to tell me why. "

Qu Ling and Chen Linye looked at each other. Chen Linye pursed his lips towards the outside of the dungeon and laughed: "The weather today is not bad.

The meaning of his words was for Qu Ling to take a step back.

Qu Ling did not linger and turned to walk out of the dungeon.

Almost the instant she stepped out of the dungeon door, a tragic cry came from behind her.

Xiao Jingyue still hadn't returned. Thinking about what he had promised Yue Yang, Qu Ling walked towards the western courtyard.

He personally fed the medicine to Le Le, then sat on the edge of the couch and told him a story.

Qu Ling found a strange citizen to talk to him, but he was only halfway through, and said: "Rest early, I'll come back tomorrow to talk to you about the later half of the story."

After interacting with Le Le a few times, she found that the child was able to endure pain. Moreover, he didn't seem to care about her condition and never asked her if she could survive.

Qu Ling walked out of the room to see Chen Linye walking over.

Chen Linye said, "Jing Yue has returned. She has already returned to the Clear Wind Academy."

Qu Ling nodded and looked at him.

The two of them walked into the courtyard. Qu Ling turned to look at Le Le's room, and asked Chen Linye in a low voice: "Do you think, this child is very tolerant?"

Chen Linye was startled, and then he started to think.

After a moment he whispered: "Indeed." "He's still young, but when he's sick he's extremely uncomfortable. He doesn't say a word, and he's even more tenacious than an adult."

If it were any other child, they would have long since been crying and making a ruckus.

Qu Ling thought for a while, then said: "Perhaps, he's already used to it."

"I'll go in and take a look. You can go back." Chen Linye said as he walked into the western courtyard.

Before the candle in the room was extinguished, Chen Linye opened the door and saw Le Le lying on the bed, staring at the direction of the door with his round eyes.

After arriving at the General Mansion, he spent the most time interacting with Chen Linye, and Chen Linye had been taking care of him these past few days.

Chen Linye could be considered the person he was most familiar with other than Qu Ling in the General Mansion.

Although he was still a little afraid of this big brother of his, he did not reject him from the bottom of his heart. It could even be said that he trusted this big brother.

Chen Linye walked to the side of the bed and sat down, then grabbed his wrist to check his pulse, and casually said: "Yue Le seems to be very happy today."

Le Le nodded her head. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered, "Elder sister told me a story today. I really like her."

Chen Linye placed his hand back into the blanket and intentionally asked: "You're so young, what do you like?"

Le Le replied seriously, "I know, I like my sister."

He paused, afraid that Chen Linye wouldn't believe that he didn't know what it was like to like, and said: "I don't like Uncle Liu and Liu Xingfu."

Chen Linye was startled, and asked: "Liu Xingfu?"

Le Yue said, "Liu Xingfu is Uncle Liu's son. Just like me, he is also sick."

When Qu Ling returned to the Pure Wind House, he talked to Xiao Jingyue about what happened in the western courtyard during the day while using the warm water that the Aunt Tao brought to him.

When Xiao Jingyue returned, he had already heard this from the guard, "If you're really worried about that child, there's no harm in having Jiang Huo and Ah Xin accompany him."

Qu Ling's eyes lit up, just as he was about to agree.

He suddenly thought of something and his eyes dimmed. He shook his head. "No, that disease will be contagious."

Xiao Jingyue raised his eyebrows, "You still dare to stay with him for so long even knowing that it will infect you?"

Qu Ling retorted, "I'm different from Jiang Huo and the others."

Ordinary infectious diseases could do nothing to her.

When the Aunt Tao, who had always been silent, heard this, he could not help but interject, "It's best for Miss to be careful."

Qu Ling looked at Aunt Tao, and then turned his head back to meet Xiao Jingyue's deep and serene gaze. He could only spread his hands and helplessly said: "Alright, I'll pay some attention."

Only then did Aunt Tao laugh and left with the water basin.

The door closed, and only Qu Ling and Xiao Jingyue were left in the room.

Xiao Jingyue embraced Qu Ling, covered her white earlobes, and asked softly: "How long will it take for the sunflower water to finish?"

Qu Ling's face reddened from his actions, and she could not help but shrink her head, as she rumbled: "About six or seven days."

Xiao Jingyue sighed, his forehead resting on her shoulder, sighing: "It's been too long."

Qu Ling was afraid that he would be worn out again after a while, so she did not want to discuss this topic with him. She changed the topic: "Why are you walking with the crown prince?"

did not support the Prime Minister Jiang, but rather supported the crown prince in telling her. He simply explained, "If you do not want the imperial court to be in chaos, maintaining the status quo ante is the best way."

Qu Ling laughed, "When did you start to care about Qi Nation's life and death?"

"I had no choice but to do so. After all, his wife's home is in the country of Qi." Xiao Jingyue took off Qu Ling's outer clothes and carried her onto the bed. He carefully placed her under a soft blanket and imitated her changing the topic, "The empress's birthday is coming, have you prepared a present?"

Qu Ling rolled twice on the bed and said: "I'm ready."

"I heard from the guard that Eleventh Princess came over this morning. Did she make things difficult for you?"

When Xiao Jingyue did not mention the Eleventh Princess, Qu Ling had almost forgotten about it.

She immediately sat up and pulled off his collar with a dark expression, forcing him to bend down and grinded his teeth, "I heard that the little princess of the East Ocean Continent is coming to Qi Jing to choose her husband."

Xiao Jingyue was startled, but quickly smiled.

Seeing that he still dared to laugh, Qu Ling became even angrier, and said angrily: "I even heard that she admired you! This time, the reason why I came to the capital to choose your husband is most likely because of you! "

This perverted little princess, why are there so many peach blossoms? First there was Murong Shan, then there was the Eleventh Princess, and now there was the Little Princess of the East Ocean Continent.

Are you done yet!

Xiao Jingyue's pitch black eyes looked straight into hers, and her tone was filled with laughter: "Jealous?"
