C208 I'm Just Pissing Myself off

The noisy crowd instantly fell silent and knelt down towards the imperial edict in Chen Linye's hands.

Godly Doctor Gu probably didn't want to kneel, so she quietly slipped away the moment she saw the imperial edict.

Just as Qu Ling was about to kneel down with the rest, his waist tightened.

When she turned around to look, she saw that Xiao Jingyue had hugged her and stopped her from kneeling.

Chen Linye held up the imperial edict, and read: "I am under the blessing of the Heavens, the Emperor's Mandate. I heard that there was a Miao Boundary Poison Gu spreading around wantonly that harmed people's lives … "

In front of the General Mansion gate, the only thing that could be heard for a moment was Chen Linye's voice reading the imperial edict.

Qu Ling revealed a face of surprise, he suddenly turned and looked at Xiao Jingyue, asking her with his eyes, asking her what was going on.

Xiao Jingyue met her gaze, and patted her waist lightly, using a secret communication technique to tell her: "I'll explain it to you later."

Caoital Officials stood up and accepted the imperial edict, but when he turned back again, his expression was imposing.

He raised his hand and shouted, "Men, bring all these people back for inspection!"

Everyone kneeling at the foot of the stone steps returned to their senses. Many people began to struggle and flee, crying and wailing again and again.

Many people were so angry that they imitated Lady Liu and brought out relatives to threaten the soldiers who had captured them.

Regardless of what they said or cursed, the Caoital Officials would not budge.

Caoital Officials did not say anything, and the soldiers below naturally did not dare to take the initiative to release him.

After the officials led the people and left, the General Mansion door finally quietened down.

Qu Ling then asked: "What's with this decree?"

The one who answered Qu Ling was Chen Linye: "I just saw Xiao Er entering the palace in a hurry and said that the General Mansion entrance is filled with people, they are all looking for you. Jing Yue immediately went to the royal study to report to the Emperor about the Soul Borrowing Gu. The Emperor was infuriated, and so he gave this imperial edict to the Emperor. "

The content of the imperial edict could be summarized as follows: Firstly, you are not allowed to sell or sell Soul Borrowing Gu s, once discovered, they will be either exiled or killed. Secondly, get the Caoital Officials to investigate thoroughly the people who used Soul Borrowing Gu s.

In other words, not only did he commit the crime of buying and selling Soul Borrowing Gu, even the person who used the Soul Borrowing Gu was guilty.

Qu Ling asked doubtfully, "Does the Emperor Uncle believe in the affairs of the Soul Borrowing Gu?"

If there were no accidents, most people would choose to hide it. It shouldn't have reached the Emperor's ears.

Would it be so easy for the Emperor to believe in words?

Chen Linye laughed and said: "What a coincidence, Eighth Prince was also in the royal study at that time."

Now that Xiao Jingyue was standing on the side of the crown prince, he should be opposing the Eighth Prince.

Therefore, in His Majesty's opinion, since the Eighth Prince was willing to testify for Xiao Jingyue's words, then this matter was most likely true.

Qu Ling thought for a moment, then asked: "Just by yourself, Caoital Officials, how would you know if there are Soul Borrowing Gu s in your body?"

Forget about Soul Borrowing Gu s, even ordinary Gu, people who didn't know about Gu Worm s wouldn't be able to find out.

Chen Linye spread his hands out, "This is the problem that Caoital Officials should be thinking about."

As they spoke, the group returned to the main hall.

Xiao Jingyue then opened his mouth, "The Emperor originally wanted you to assist the Caoital Officials, but he was rejected by me because of your poor health."

Chen Linye added, "However, before long, the emperor will find out about your grandmother in the capital. He might even ask for your grandmother's help."

Speaking of grandma, Qu Ling's eyes dimmed, and turned to leave: "I'm going to see grandma."

Ever since she was young, she had never seen her grandmother so angry, so angry for so long.

However, she could understand that she was the only blood relative of her grandmother in this world.

Qu Ci was fiddling with the things in his hands, but when he heard the knock on the door, he did not even lift his head as he said: "This old granny wants to be alone, if there's nothing urgent, let's go."

Qu Ling's hand that was knocking on the door stopped, and he sullenly asked: "Grandma, are you still angry with me?"

"Nope." Qu Ci said in a light voice, "I'm just angry at myself."

After Qu Ling heard this, he felt even worse.

Qu Ci then continued, "I can only blame myself. At the time, I should not have let A Qiu travel outside, I should not have allowed you to follow your grandfather back to Zhai Jing."

Qu Ling's nose suddenly turned sour, "Grandma …"

"They've harmed my daughter, and now they're even coming to harm my granddaughter. This old woman is simply unable to take this lying down."

"You said that someone killed my mother. Can you tell me who it was?"

The people in the room were silent for a moment, then whispered, "I promised your mother that if you really want to know, you can ask your grandfather or aunt."

Then, without waiting for Qu Ling to speak again, Qu Ci continued: "I didn't sleep well last night, I'm going to rest. Go and busy yourself with your own matters."

Qu Ling could only give up and dejectedly leave Qu Ci's courtyard.

Qu Ci's residence was very close to the Pure Wind House, so they only needed to walk a short distance to reach it.

Seeing that Qu Ling had returned, Aunt Tao, who was drying clothes in the courtyard under the sunlight, immediately put down the things he was doing and went to bring the hot soup over to the small kitchen stove.

When Qu Ling saw the layer of oil on the soup, he immediately retreated, "It's too oily, I don't drink it."

Aunt Tao said: "The general has said that if the young miss does not drink, I will bring the bowl of soup and follow you until you are willing to drink."

Qu Ling, "..."

Seeing that Qu Ling did not say a word, Aunt Tao sincerely advised: "Young miss, you are so afraid of the cold, it is just your display of lack of blood energy, you really need to make up for it."

In the end, she went over to Qu Ling's side and added in a low voice: "After young miss has recuperated, she will only be able to give birth to a fat little baby in the future."

Qu Ling's face reddened as she snatched the bowl away and muttered, "Who wants to have a baby?"

Even if he wanted a child, he would have to wait for Xiao Jingyue to remove the parasite before he could bear the child.

Seeing that Qu Ling was willing to drink the soup, the Aunt Tao laughed and did not say anymore.

When the warm soup entered his stomach, his body instantly warmed up quite a bit.

Qu Ling returned the bowl to Aunt Tao, stuck out his tongue and licked the oil from the corner of his mouth, then said: "Next time, remember to remove the oil first, if not I really won't drink anymore."

Aunt Tao laughed: "Little miss, you are too skinny."

"If you don't want to drink it, then don't." Qu Ling walked to the stone table under the tree, and placed Green Snake and Green Scorpion who were in his arms on the stone table. He instructed Xiao Yi who was waiting at the side: "Go to my room and bring my flute over."

"Let this old servant go …" Young Master Xiao, please help this old servant carry it first. "

Aunt Tao stuffed the empty bowl into Xiao Yi's hands, and carried his fat body towards Qu Ling's room.

It was not polite to let other men into the rooms of their young miss and their young master.

Xiao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at Xiao San, who was just looking at him from the side, and consciously returned the empty bowl back to the small kitchen.

Not long after, the Aunt Tao brought Qu Ling's flute over.

Qu Ling didn't blow the flute after he received the flute, he only weighed it in his hands and muttered: "When I enter the palace tomorrow, I'll have to bring this with me."

The day after tomorrow was the birthday of the empress's aunt. When he thought of the little princess of the East Ocean Continent, who had been admiring Xiao Jingyue for a long time, and what his grandma had said just now, Qu Ling had a nagging feeling that something bad was going to happen tomorrow after he entered the palace.

Furthermore, she also had a premonition that they were not only close to the truth of her mother's death, they were also close to the truth of Xiao Jingyue being infected with the parasite.
