C206 I'm Still in Pain

Before returning to the Clear Wind Academy, Qu Ling went to Qu Ci's room and stood there for a while. Seeing that she had not calmed down yet, he felt a little sad in his heart.

In that car, Murong Qing kept her distance from Murong Yan, but this car was still filled with her granny's anger.

Qu Ling was momentarily at a loss as to what to do.

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Jingyue walked through the screen with a cold aura.

Qu Ling glanced at him listlessly. "Nothing."

Xiao Jingyue raised his eyebrows, "What, you can't say?"

"There's nothing to say." Qu Ling had concealed what Murong Qing had said from him, that his grandmother was still angry.

Finally, he muttered, "Before, I thought that my mother passed away due to illness. Now, I know that there seems to be another secret."

Xiao Jingyue took off his outer robe and washed his face with the cold water that Qu Ling had used before. He turned his head and looked at Qu Ling, "Tell me about your mother?"

"My mother …" "My mother loved to play since childhood and even liked to run around everywhere. She left home when she was just 15 years old and came to the Central Plains, where she met my father."

After he finished speaking, Qu Ling suddenly remembered Murong Qing's words.

Murong Qing said that her father used to be very close to His Majesty and the Southern Guarding Prince.

Logically speaking, the year that my mother met my father, my grandfather and my father should have already lived in the capital. When my father descended to Jiangnan, would there be anyone by my side, such as the current emperor or the Southern Guarding Prince, that my mother might actually know the emperor and Xiao Jingyue's father?

Oh right, there's also the fact that the Southern Guarding Prince's Concubine family resides in Tong Huai Manor, they are also people from Jiangnan.

So would they, in fact, know each other?

Qu Ling had never heard the adults mention these things, so it was indeed strange thinking about it now.

Her father and mother had actually gone to the cave on the banks of the Huai River in the Tong Palace and even knew the owner of the cave.

After connecting these things that he couldn't figure out no matter what, Qu Ling realized that they didn't go against his will at all.

When Xiao Jingyue heard this, he suddenly heard nothing. He wiped his face and looked on the bed, to see Qu Ling in a daze, and felt it to be funny.

He took off his outer robe, shoes and socks, and stepped onto the bed to embrace her. With a gentle voice, he asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

"I'm thinking," Qu Ling looked up at Xiao Jingyue, "My father, mother, your father, royal mother and imperial concubine, as well as the emperor's uncle, might I know them all?"

A strange look flashed past Xiao Jingyue's eyes. After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "He should be able to recognize it."

Qu Ling asked: "My father and mother have never mentioned your royal father and mother to me. Have your royal father and mother ever mentioned my father and mother to you?"

Xiao Jingyue shook his head.

Even when she mentioned the marriage between him and Qu Ling, she did not mention anything about Qu Ling's parents.

Qu Ling frowned, "Why?"

Xiao Jingyue kissed her fluffy head, "Don't think too much about it. When you enter the palace the next day, ask your grandfather and aunt."

"Fine." Qu Ling nodded.

As he lay down, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "I heard that you have been very close with the Crown Prince recently?"

Xiao Jingyue paused for a moment, and said indifferently: "We will each take what we need."

Qu Ling thought for a while, then said softly: "Perhaps I am not suitable for saying these words. If possible, I do not wish for you to get too close with the crown prince or the Eighth Prince. "

Since ancient times, every time he seized the throne, blood would flow like a river.

She did not want Xiao Jingyue to become someone who helped a prince become emperor. She did not want him to get involved in this conflict.

Xiao Jingyue lowered his eyes, and did not tell her about himself and her grandfather. He chuckled softly, and said: "Nothing is inappropriate."

Qu Ling still wanted to say something, but his lips were suddenly stopped by a kiss.

The candle suddenly went out, and the curtains fell.

As he was lost in his emotions, Qu Ling squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "I'm still in pain."

Xiao Jingyue hoarsely said, "Husband, be more gentle."

The room was filled with an enchanting atmosphere, but no one spoke for the entire night.

The morning of the next day, before Xiao Jingyue and Chen Linye went to the imperial court, he had to send him out of the city.

The two of them galloped in front of the city gate, causing Murong Qing to turn around, "Bring them here, quickly go to the imperial court."

Xiao Jingyue cupped his hands: "Goodbye, be careful on the way."

Chen Linye also cupped his hands: "Take care."

Murong Qing nodded his head lightly and spurred his horse out of the city.

"Jing Yue." It was established! Seeing that Xiao Jingyue did not move, he called out.

Xiao Jingyue turned his head to look at him, and said indifferently: "Let's go to the palace."

The sound of two horse hooves could be heard, and they gradually disappeared into the distance. The city gate once again became silent.

Last night, Xiao Jingyue did not overdo things, so he was able to wake up early and head to the dining hall for breakfast.

"Oh? Little girl, why are you up so early today?" Godly Doctor Gu gnawed on a bun as he vaguely greeted Qu Ling.

Qu Ling did not see Qu Ci's figure in the dining hall. His gaze dimmed, and he said in a withered voice: "Good morning, Godly Doctor Gu."

"This Soup Dumplings is pretty good, hurry up and eat while it's hot." The Godly Doctor Gu said as he pushed a plate of buns in front of Qu Ling.

Qu Ling picked up a bun and nibbled it, and casually asked: "Godly Doctor Gu knows my grandmother, do you recognize my parents?"

It was unknown if it was her imagination, but she seemed to have seen a strange expression flash across Godly Doctor Gu's old face.

Seeing the Godly Doctor Gu not uttering a word, Qu Ling suppressed the doubt in his heart, and deliberately answered his own question: "I should know him."

Godly Doctor Gu regained his senses and laughed dryly.

After a while, he grabbed two buns and said to Qu Ling: "Little girl, take your time to eat, I'm going to take a look at the fun."

With that, without waiting for Qu Ling to speak, he quickly left the dining hall.

Once he left, only Qu Ling remained in the dining hall.

Qu Ling looked at the steamed bun in his hand, which had suddenly lost its appetite.

At this moment, Xiao Yi suddenly came in and cupped his hands: "Madam, someone from the Minister of War Palace has sent a greeting letter."

Qu Ling's little face froze as she coldly said, "Go back, you won't see me!"

"Yes." Xiao Yi retreated.

Not long after he left, Xiao Yi returned with an unpleasant expression. "Madam, there are a lot of people at the entrance of the manor requesting to see Madam."

Qu Ling swallowed the bun in his mouth and asked: "Do you know who those people are?"

Xiao Shi looked annoyed, gritting his teeth as he replied, "Most of them are the people who handed over the name scroll earlier."

Qu Ling's little face became cold once again, and became extremely ugly in an instant.

After a short while, he sneered, "In that case, are all of you here to ask me to help you remove the Gu?"

Xiao Yi lowered his head and did not reply.

Xiao San, who had been listening by the side, asked: "Madam, do you want this subordinate to send them away?"

The General Mansion gate was something he could block whenever he wanted to.

"No need." Qu Ling quickly ate the remaining half of the bun, and patted his hands in fear, "Come, let's go take a look together."

Afraid that something might happen, Xiao Yi advised hesitantly, "Madam, shouldn't we wait for the general to return before we go see those people?"

"By the time he returned, the yellow flowers were already cold." Qu Ling no longer paid attention to Xiao Yi and walked out of the dining hall.

Xiao Yi and Xiao San glanced at each other. Xiao San quietly left to assign some guards. Xiao Yi continued to follow Qu Ling.

On the way, Qu Ling met the Godly Doctor Gu who had returned.

Godly Doctor Gu raised his eyebrows: "I heard that there are a lot of people causing trouble outside, don't be afraid little girl, I will go meet them with you."

Qu Ling really wanted to say that she wasn't afraid at all.

The three of them walked to the entrance of the mansion, and just as they stopped in their tracks, they saw a large group of people gathered at the foot of the stone steps.

There were at least fifty or sixty of them.
