C202 I've Been Feeling a Bit Unwell Lately

After leaving the throne room, an attendant came to report.

Before he could enter the palace, he heard Eleventh Princess crying.

A hint of displeasure flashed past Eighth Prince's eyes. After standing outside the hall and listening for a while, he finally understood why his little sister was making such a ruckus.

So his sister was actually afraid that Qu Ling would talk to the Queen about it and ask him to get married to Yi Feifei right now.

Of course, Yi Fei couldn't bear to see her daughter marry so far, so she said with a pained heart, "Yan'er, mufei won't let you marry into the East Ocean Continent. mufei will go find your Imperial Father right now."

Eleventh Princess cried, "What's the use of you going to find him? Everyone knows that royal father listens to his mother, he doesn't listen to you at all!"

Yi Fei's expression immediately changed. Her well-manicured nails dug deep into her palm.

"What are you doing?" Eighth Prince walked into the hall and looked at his little sister with a gloomy face.

In the end, Eleventh Princess was still afraid of their dear brother. Her small face turned white and she immediately shut her mouth.

Who knew that Eighth Prince would not let her go today? He said coldly: "If you don't want to marry the prince of the East Ocean Continent, don't tell me you want to marry Xiao Jingyue as your concubine? Or perhaps, marry the young master of the Murong Villa who has disappeared all day? "

The fact that the Eleventh Princess was hanging a portrait of Xiao Jingyue and her on the wall in front of his bed was something that everyone in the palace knew, even including the people in the small alleys outside the palace.

Eleventh Princess looked embarrassed as he retorted in a low voice, "I didn't."

Eighth Prince sneered, "If there really is none, then why did you look for Qu Ling a few days ago?"

Eleventh Princess was speechless, her small face was pale without blood.

Although Eleventh Princess hurt her heart again, it was still a piece of meat that had fallen from her body. Yi Fei quickly said, "Alright, stop talking, Li'er, come over here. Mother had ordered someone to come over to collect the portrait of the direct descendant from the court ministers' home. You should come over to take a look."

Hearing that, Eighth Prince's face instantly turned ugly.

The King had personally arranged a banquet for the Crown Prince's family to choose from. When it was his turn to marry the Crown Prince, he wanted his mother to help him choose a portrait and the difference between them was like a needle that pierced deep into Eighth Prince's heart.

Although she was not as powerful as Li Yun, and her family background did not lose to Imperial Concubine Li, she was still a consort. Although the emperor had doted on Imperial Concubine Li for so many years, she was still an ordinary concubine.

Eighth Prince thought that it was impossible to not care.

But seeing his mother's cautious gaze, Eighth Prince suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and said indifferently: "There's no need to look at the portrait, it's best if mufei asks my royal father to grant it a marriage."

He said gently, "This mufei knows that it is the birthday of the empress, so you shouldn't bring up the matter. Your son can look for her first, so that his heart will know what to do, and when the empress's birthday is over, mufei will tell your father."

She paused for a moment, then suddenly thought of something. Yi Fei continued, "I heard that the princess of the East Ocean Continent came to the Qi Kingdom this time to choose her husband. The Crown Prince's side must also be after the princess of the East Ocean Continent. However, compared to the Crown Prince who has already taken his wife, your son is much better. "

Eighth Prince frowned, "I heard that the princess of the East Ocean Continent is not afraid of being a concubine."

"Silly child." Yi Fei smiled. "How could there be a woman in this world who would not be the principal wife and instead go to be the concubine?"

Eighth Prince glanced at Eleventh Princess, who was standing at the side with a sullen face without a word, and snorted: "Mufei might not know, but there really is such a foolish woman."

Eleventh Princess heard his brother's words and raised his head to glare at him angrily.

Eighth Prince looked at her and his eyes gradually calmed down.

He did not care much about marrying the princess of the Eastern Ocean Continent. Compared to the princess of the Eastern Ocean Country, he preferred the prince, who was favored by the Eastern Ocean Emperor.

Ever since Qu Ci, Godly Doctor Gu and the others came to the General Mansion, Qu Ling no longer ate in the courtyard. He would head to the dining hall three times a day to eat with them.

Qu Ling was tormented for an entire night, he did not go for breakfast, and only limped out to the dining hall at noon with his waist aching from the pain.

Qu Ci who was seated down looked at his granddaughter and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

Without waiting for Qu Ling to reply, Godly Doctor Gu stroked his beard and laughed: "The two of them seem to be very loving. In this old man's opinion, as long as you can find the supporting branches and remove the Gu Worm in Jue's body, you should be able to carry your grandson."

As Qu Ling listened, his little face instantly flushed red.

After Qu Ci reacted, he looked at his granddaughter for a while without saying anything. In the end, he only said: "Although young, don't overdo it. Take care of your body."

Being teased by the two old fellows one after another, Qu Ling was so embarrassed that she could not stay any longer.

Xiao Yi and Xiao San, who were guarding outside the hall, looked at each other, their faces flushed red.

The two of them had been out all night, you know.

Putting everything else aside, the words of the matriarch scolding the master were enough to make them blush.

Especially when he heard his mistress cry and scold him that his skills were so bad that it seemed like she was striking a stake …

Even a master like them couldn't say such words. It was really a mystery how the matriarch had said it.

Fortunately, Qu Ci and the Godly Doctor Gu did not mention it again, so Qu Ling was able to finish his meal with ease.

After the meal, Qu Ci and Godly Doctor Gu went to the Western Courtyard to see what was going on. Qu Ling had wanted to follow along, but after hearing that someone was looking for them, he decided to give up.

Qu Ling headed to the side hall, and saw Li Ning'er seated on a chair, sipping tea, looking at the guards who brought him in with an inquiring gaze.

The guard immediately explained, "Madam Li came alone to seek an audience with Madam and met the general outside the manor. The general had his subordinate bring Madam Li in."

Thinking about Xiao Jingyue, Qu Ling blushed and asked: "Where's the general?"

The guard replied, "General was just passing by. I still have some matters to attend to, so I didn't enter the manor."

It was also because Xiao Jingyue guessed that Qu Ling would ask, that he specifically told the guards about it. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't tell his subordinates anything.

Seeing Qu Ling coming in, Li Ning'er immediately put down his cup and stood up, apologizing: "Sorry to intrude."

Qu Ling shook his head and asked: "Is there something urgent?"

Li Ning'er muttered to himself for a moment, then said: "Recently, I have been feeling unwell, and will often get cold."

Qu Ling became even more suspicious after hearing that, she should've gone to look for a doctor instead, she did not know how to treat patients.

Li Ning'er paused for a while, his expression changing again. It seemed that what he was about to say was a little difficult to say, and after a long while, he asked softly, "According to what you said the other day, the Soul Borrowing Gu would pass it down to the child. Does that mean that the Soul Borrowing Gu can also pass on its love affairs … "Transfer?"

Qu Ling was startled, he immediately went up, grabbed Li Ning'er's pulse to check, and then rubbed on a few of the acupuncture points on Li Ning'er's back.

After a short while, he turned his head and instructed Xiao Yi who was waiting outside the door: "Xiao Yi, go to my room and get some silver needles and a Jade Scorpion."

Xiao Yu replied and left, not long after, he brought the thing Qu Ling wanted.

After another round of acupuncture and testing for the parasite and drawing out the blood for the Jade Scorpion to drink, Qu Ling said thoughtfully: "You do not have a parasite in your body."

After Li Ning'er heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, he heard Qu Ling say: "But you were infected by the parasite poison."

Although he was not infected by the parasite, he was poisoned by the Soul Borrowing Gu.

Li Ning'er's body trembled, and the blood on his face instantly drained away.

Qu Ling suddenly thought of something, and looked at Li Ning'er with a strange expression: "You've been married to Young Master Li for so long, until now you've felt unwell?"

Li Ning'er was silent for a moment, then said hoarsely: "To be honest, I will tell him … The room was just full a few days ago. "

"…" Qu Ling opened his eyes wide in shock.
