C200 Anxiety

He said that he wanted to rest. After showering, Qu Ci heard that a child who had just released a Soul Borrowing Gu was living in the General Mansion. Qu Ci then led the way to take a look for him.

When the two of them arrived, Chen Linye was currently performing acupuncture for Le Le Le. His hand had fallen off, and Le Le's sickly white body was filled with silver needles.

In order to let Le Le live, other than feeding him medicine every day, Chen Linye would give him acupuncture every three days.

Le Le couldn't move. She heard the sound of footsteps and turned her eyes towards the door with difficulty.

Seeing that it was Qu Ling who had come over, a smile immediately appeared on her pale and bloodless little face.

As Chen Linye was busy, the two of them stood at the door, not disturbing him.

Chen Linye took the last needle, and then turned to look at the person outside, and smiled: To see Yue Le?

Qu Ci nodded lightly and stepped into the house. He walked to the side of the bed and looked at the child who was stabbed like a hedgehog and frowned.

"There is no cure for consumption in this world." Chen Linye sighed.

He could only keep Le Le from getting worse and hanging on to his life. Any more and there would be nothing he could do about it.

"Let me take a look." Godly Doctor Gu walked in from outside.

Qu Ling moved to the side and thought of his identity as a genius doctor. "Does Godly Doctor Gu have a way to treat tuberculosis?"

Hearing this, the other two people by the side of the bed looked towards Godly Doctor Gu.

Godly Doctor Gu answered truthfully, "No."

Qu Ling, "..."

Qu Ci snorted, he no longer bothered with the old man, and sat down by the side of the bed, holding onto his happy wrist to feel his pulse.

Godly Doctor Gu saw the looks of despise from the others, and was immediately displeased. He shook his beard unhappily and snorted: What's wrong? So what if it couldn't be cured? Forget about me being unable to cure it, even if Hua Tuo was alive, he might not be able to. "

However, no one wanted to bother with him anymore.

and Godly Doctor Gu did not plan to leave the General Mansion for the time being. Since they had nothing else to do, the two began to study Le Le Yi's condition, and would often quarrel in front of Yue Le Nong's bed until their faces and necks turned red.

Xiao Jingyue was still busy ensuring that the crown prince and his wife's grandfather "competed in intelligence" and left early and returned late. After Chen Linye removed the burden of being happy, he started to investigate the "underground transaction" between the Liu Palace and Minister of War Palace wholeheartedly.

As for Qu Ling, after a few days had passed, his excitement from initially seeing Qu Ci and finding the sacred medicine slowly calmed down, and he no longer stuck close to Qu Ci.

On this day, after Qu Ling and Ah Xin, who came to see him before he received the news, went to the Western Courtyard, Qu Ling and the other idle people sat opposite each other at a table in the garden. They enjoyed the tea and snacks that Xiao Yi and Xiao San had prepared, and started to play a game of answering questions and questions with Murong Qing.

"Ah Wu is not in Qi Jing. Do you know where he went?"

"We caught Li Ying in Yu City, he took Li Ying to look for the person who sold the Soul Borrowing Gu."

"To be honest, I always knew that Jing Yue had a fiancee, but I didn't expect that he would actually marry you in the end."

"There are a lot of things you haven't thought of yet, don't take it to heart."

Murong Qing stared blankly for a moment, then laughed and said: "Looks like you indeed have something special about you."

From the moment Murong Villa had first laid eyes on Qu Ling, he had felt that she was not a woman that could be taken lightly.

Especially after she married Xiao Jingyue, she even got so close to his brother.

To be honest, he did not like this woman, and was even a bit disgusted.

She was the legal and proper wife of Xiao Jingyue, so no matter what, it was not his place to comment.

Qu Ling ignored the ridicule hidden in his words and sincerely sighed: "Yes, I'm especially good-looking."

Murong Qing looked at Qu Ling who was not wearing his hat, and revealed his head that was full of hair that was as long as fingers: "..."

Seeing that he did not make a sound, Qu Ling continued: "Xiao Jingyue said that I am the most beautiful girl he has ever seen in his entire life."

In the days when she had just shaved her head, in order to coax her, Xiao Jingyue had said all sorts of good words and repeated them again and again, to the point that she believed him.

Murong Qing laughed, he scrutinized Qu Ling's face and agreed: "You are indeed good-looking."

Qu Ling knew that he still had more to say, so he did not speak, and waited for him to continue.

Murong Qing continued: "Aesthetic values vary depending on the person. At least, in my opinion, you aren't the most beautiful woman I've ever met."

Hearing that, Qu Ling's interest was piqued, "The most beautiful woman you've ever met, is she your mother?"

She had met Madam Murong once before and vaguely remembered that she also had a moon-like appearance.

Murong Qing shook his head and said, "No."

"Who is that?"

"Jing Yue's mother is the Southern Guarding Prince's Consort."

Qu Ling was startled for a moment, then smiled: "I heard that the Southern Guarding Prince's Concubine was known as the number one beauty in the Central Plains back then, and now I heard you say that, it seems that it's true."

Everyone loved beauty. Qu Ling would naturally be unhappy when he heard others talk to him about women who were prettier than him.

But if that person was his mother-in-law, then there was nothing to be unhappy about.

A child belongs to both husband and wife. Good genes are indispensable. Her mother-in-law had such good genes that it would be too late for her to be happy if she gave birth to such a handsome husband.

Thinking about it, Qu Ling couldn't help but fantasize about the children that he and Xiao Jingyue would give birth to.

"..." Back then your father was also dressed in the same robe as His Majesty and the Southern Guarding Prince. I heard that the three of them were inseparable when they were studying under the Crown Prince. "

Qu Ling regained her senses, and frowned, "Is my father on good terms with the Southern Guarding Prince?"

She had never heard of this before. She only knew that her deceased father was on very good terms with His Majesty back then. It was precisely because of this that her aunt married the emperor's uncle, and that her grandfather gave his full support to the emperor's uncle to ascend the throne.

Murong Qing nodded, "I'm not too sure about the specifics of that incident, I just heard my father and grandfather talking about it for a while."

Seeing that Qu Ling was still looking at him, as if he was waiting for Murong Qing to continue, Murong Qing laughed, "Speaking of which, among the three of them back then, your father had a better relationship with His Majesty. Your aunt even married into the royal family, and the Jiang family received a saint's favour.

It was one thing to say that Jiang Shimu had been betrothed her daughter to the son of the Southern Guarding Prince, but the problem was that His Majesty had actually bestowed her with a marriage with golden words, and it had nothing to do with her at all.

He used to think it was normal, but now that Murong Qing said this, Qu Ling also felt that it was strange.

Just as he wanted to ask more, a guard walked over, clasped his hands, and said, "Lord Murong, there's someone looking for you outside of the residence. They claim to be people from the Murong Villa."

Murong Qing bade farewell to Qu Ling, and followed the guard out of the garden.

In the evening, Qu Ling and Xiao Jingyue talked about his conversation with Murong Qing during the daytime.

A cold glint flashed past Xiao Jingyue's eyes, but his lips slowly curved upwards as he asked with a smile that was not a smile: "You and Murong Qing chatted for the whole afternoon?"

"That's not true." Qu Ling said, "After chatting for around an hour, he was called away."

Xiao Jingyue snorted, and did not make a sound.

After a moment of silence, Qu Ling returned to the topic at hand. "Aren't you curious?"

Xiao Jingyue lowered his head, looked into her clear eyes, and said with a stern expression: "Husband is even more curious, have you finished drinking sunflower water?"

Qu Ling, "..."

Seeing that Qu Ling did not utter a word, Xiao Jingyue's heart was moved, and he probed: "Nothing else?"
