C203 Be Innocent If Not Greed

A room that was just round a few days ago... If she remembered correctly, they had been married for months.

Qu Ling thought that he and Xiao Jingyue, as husband and wife, were already weird enough, but he didn't expect Li Ning'er and Li Chenxuan to be even weirder.

She didn't seem to have heard that Li Chenxuan had a concubine or a concubine, and wouldn't do anything if he left a wife like Li Ning'er behind.

Seeing Qu Ling looking at him with a weird expression without saying a word, Li Ning'er looked to the side with an embarrassed expression, and asked: "What do I do now?"

Qu Ling replied honestly: "That depends on your choice, I don't know."

Either they continue to be poisoned to death in the same room, or different rooms would release blood and raise Li Chenxuan's parasites everyday, and Li Chenxuan was even willing to remove the parasite to become a cripple once more.

These were the only three choices placed in front of them.

Looking at Li Ning'er's desperate expression, Qu Ling could not help but say: "How did you agree to marry him back then!"

Li Ning'er did not explain, but only said, "I have no choice."

Li Yun had her father's weakness, if she did not marry into the Minister of War Palace, her father's career as a official would be over.

Qu Ling sighed, "Forget it, I have nothing else to say."

After a moment of hesitation, he hardened his heart and continued, "You should properly cherish the few days that you have left!"

This matter was entirely because of Li Chenxuan.

If Li Ning'er could be so ruthless as to kill Li Chenxuan silently, it would be fine. But if she couldn't, she could only wait for Li Chenxuan to die together with her.

After Qu Ling sent Li Ning'er out of the Palace, he truly could not endure it any longer and secretly told her: "Living is more important than anything."

Li Ning'er was startled, then immediately understood, and said softly: "I understand. "Thank you very much."

Just as Qu Ling was about to turn around and return to his residence after sending off Li Ning'er, he saw from the corner of his eyes that Murong Qing had returned from the outside world.

Murong Qing walked to Qu Ling's side, looked at the direction Li Ning'er left in, and asked: "Li Yun's daughter-in-law, why is she looking for you?"

Qu Ling suspiciously sized him up, "How do you know she's Li Yun's daughter-in-law?"

"I checked her out." Murong Qing said honestly.

Qu Ling was amused, and said mischievously: "If you don't have anything to do, why are you investigating a girl?"

Murong Qing took out his fan, opened it quickly, and said with a smile: "Not only did I check her, I also checked everyone in the Minister of War Palace."

"What are you investigating people who do not have Minister Mansion for?" Qu Ling said, he looked at the fan in Murong Qing's hand, only to see the words "Hai Qing He" written on the white fan, the words were somewhat familiar, "The words on this fan are not bad, you wrote this?"

Murong Qing turned the fan over and looked at the words, then blinked his eyes and replied: "Your husband wrote it, it's good, right?"

Qu Ling did not speak further, he turned and walked back into the residence, planning to call Xiao Yi to give her a fan too, so that Xiao Jingyue could write a few words on it.

"Where are you going?" Murong Qing followed along, "Are you not curious why I want to look into the Minister of War's Palace?"

Qu Ling replied without turning his head, "Not at all."

She was even more curious about the reason why her man would carve on such a close-fitting item like a man's folding fan!

Murong Qing acted as if he did not hear it, and continued speaking. "Yesterday, someone was ordered to deliver a piece of news."

Qu Ling's footsteps paused.

Seeing that, the look in Murong Qing's eyes became darker, "He followed Li Ying and saw the person from Miao Boundary who was selling the parasites, but that person was very cunning, they did not catch him."

Qu Ling asked: "Where is Murong Ren?"

"On the way back to the capital." Murong Qing kept his fan and looked in the direction of the Minister of War Palace with narrowed eyes. He said something that made Qu Ling even more shocked, "According to what Li Ying said, he and Xu Man have a deal with the Minister of War Palace. They provide and Li Chenxuan with parasite sources, and the Minister of War Palace is in charge of selling them. "

In other words, the people who used Soul Borrowing Gu s in the capital city were all bought from the Minister of War Palace.

Qu Ling opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Really?"

Speaking of which, Li Chenxuan could be considered the second person in Qi Jing to use a Soul Borrowing Gu. He should be well aware of the harm Soul Borrowing Gu could do to others, why did he do it?

As if he had seen through Qu Ling's thoughts, Murong Qing said in a heavy voice, "Among the people of today's world, eighty to ninety percent are unable to resist the temptation of money and power."

Qu Ling thought about how he had kept his promise to Huo Xinyi and had been busy for so many months just to save Li Chenxuan, but in the end, he found out that the person he saved did not care about his life at all.

"If you are not greedy, then you are innocent. What is scarier than ghosts and gods, is the human heart. "

After Murong Qing finished speaking, he glanced at Qu Ling deeply, and without saying anything more, he turned around and left.

Xiao Yi and Xiao San, who were not far away from Qu Ling, looked at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

What Murong Qing had just said was not loud, but it was enough for the two with sharp ears and intelligent eyes to hear it clearly.

Just like Qu Ling, they never thought that the Soul Borrowing Gu in Qi Jing would actually be the work of the Minister of War Palace.

When Qu Ling went to the western courtyard, Le Le had already gone to sleep.

Qu Ci and Godly Doctor Gu, who should have been in the Western Courtyard, had disappeared. Who knew where they had gone to fight.

Qu Ling sat down by the side of the bed, and watched the child on the bed grow thinner and thinner, and his heart became increasingly sad.

What a cute child, how could those adults be so cruel?

Qu Ling sighed, and got up to help pull the blanket.

"Mom, Mom." It was unknown what he had dreamed of, but Le Le Le continued to call out for his mother.

She heard about Le Niang and knew that she died after taking the poison from Xiao Jingyue.

"Mom, it feels terrible to be happy." Le Le's breath suddenly became hurried, her pale little face had an abnormal red flush.

Qu Ling immediately got up and ran outside, ordering: "Quickly, go find Grandma and Godly Doctor Gu!"

Xiao San did not dare delay any further and immediately left.

Xiao Yi, who was left behind saw that something was amiss with Qu Ling, his lips slightly turned purple, and immediately said: "Madam, calm down, calm down!"

Otherwise, even if he were to die, he wouldn't be able to escape blame if anything happened to her.

The moment Xiao San left the western courtyard, he saw Qu Ci and Godly Doctor Gu walking towards him while quarreling.

Xiao San saved the time to bow and replied concisely: "Le Le has gotten sick!"

Qu Ci and Godly Doctor Gu looked at each other and immediately ran towards the western courtyard.

When he saw Qu Ling who was standing in front of the music room's door, Qu Ci suddenly stopped.

Qu Ling shook his head, and pointed to the room: "I'm fine, I'll go watch the fun first."

Godly Doctor Gu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned around. Without saying a word, he pulled Qu Ci into the room, "Come, let's look at that child."

Qu Ci gouged Qu Ling with his eyes, then left him with the words "Wait first, I'll look for you when I get back". He flung Godly Doctor Gu's hand away and walked to the side of the bed.

Xiao Yi, who was standing behind Qu Ling, watched this scene silently. He was so nervous that his hands were sweating, and thought about how he should immediately go find Master and tell him about this so that Master would be mentally prepared.

"This is bad!" Godly Doctor Gu whispered.

Qu Ling turned and ran into the house. What he saw was Le Le who was lying on the bed coughing blood.

For a moment, Qu Ling felt as if his heart was submerged in ice water, and a chill spread to his four limbs.

Under the Godly Doctor Gu's summons, many of the guards started bustling with activity as they carried their things in and out.

"Madam." Xiao Yi called out with concern.

Just then, Xiao San, who was standing outside, suddenly shouted: "General."
