"Little bastard, you're feeding me medicine again!" Qu Ling gritted his teeth and cursed, then instructed Xiao Yi: "There's a medicine shop at the very end of West Street, there is an old man there who has great medical skills, give him more silver, and bring that old man over to South Wind House for the two of them to see."

Since the South Wind House was a result of the noodle house, most doctors were unwilling to go near, because there was a small problem with the people inside. When Murong Yan was around, he would help look for a doctor, and if he was not there, then he could only go out and look for a doctor.

Xiao Yi cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Qu Ling glanced at the wontons in Xiao Jingyue's hands, dropped the words "don't waste it", and carried Xiao Qing into the bedroom.

Xiao Jingyue stood quietly for a moment, then handed the wonton bowl to Xiao Yi who had not left, "Don't waste it."

Xiao Yi: "…"

Xiao Jingyue paused, suddenly leaned over and whispered a sentence into Xiao Yi's ear.

Xiao Yi understood. "This subordinate will go immediately."

"After eating wontons, I'll go back after I finish helping Madam with her matters."

"…"

Qu Ling did not know what the master and servant were saying outside, but after teasing Xiao Qing for a while, he placed her, the Jade Scorpion and the Blood Spider together. Then, he flung his shoes and climbed onto the bed, then crawled into the bed like a loach.

The damage to her body from the injury was not small. She had only slept for a short while in the afternoon, and now she began to feel tired again.

After lying down for a while, she started to feel sleepy.

In her half-sleep, she felt a depression behind her.

A slightly cold figure came up behind her and held her tightly.

In a trance, she heard the person behind her mumble, "Madam, quickly get up. Your husband doesn't want to endure anymore."

He didn't want to endure it any longer? Qu Ling's mind was in a mess, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't think of anything else he didn't want to endure, so he decided to just stop thinking and continue sleeping.

Xiao Jingyue let out a heavy breath as he listened to her gradually calming breathing.

When he pulled his hand away from her, he tapped her sleeping point and gently lifted the quilt.

Before long, Xiao Yi's suppressed voice came from outside the door: "Mistress."

Xiao Jingyue opened the door, looked at Chen Linye who was behind Xiao Yi, and stepped aside.

"It's such a cold day, you really know how to torture me." Chen Linye complained as he walked in.

Xiao Jingyue pretended not to hear, returned to the side of the bed and sat down, then removed Qu Ling's hand from the blanket.

Chen Linye did not say anything, his three fingers held onto her pulse.

After probing for a while, he stood up and walked out without saying a word.

Xiao Jingyue frowned, he placed her hand back into the blanket and pulled at the blanket for her, then followed her out.

The two of them walked into the courtyard one after the other, Chen Linye stopped and sighed: "Leaving aside the fact that the method to draw blood was appropriate, she still ran around after obtaining the blood in her heart. If she was a martial artist with a strong physique, that is not it, but she is not, even if she recuperates, she would likely leave behind an old ailment."

Xiao Jingyue's expression changed slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there no way to cure it?"

"It's not impossible for her to recover well in the future." Chen Linye said, "Before this, as long as you take medicine and rest properly, try your best not to provoke her and not let her emotions fluctuate too much, I reckon that there won't be any effect on her daily life."

Pausing, he then asked, "You want to bring her with you when you leave the capital the next day?"

Xiao Jingyue's expression softened slightly, and said indifferently: "I am worried about leaving her alone in the capital."

He had not been at ease when she had danced, and now she was wounded and wounded.

Chen Linye knew that she could not persuade him, so she did not advise him anymore. Instead, she turned to speak of another matter: "How do you plan to deal with those rumors and slanders?"

A few days ago, he had also participated in the search for the official's residence. Although he had not been suspended from his duties, he had received a punishment and was imprisoned in the justice courts for a few days.

He had finally been released yesterday with great difficulty, so he went back to rest for a day. This afternoon, he had nothing better to do or to go out for a walk, but who would have thought that he would hear the rumors about Mrs. Xiao being robbed for a few days?

Xiao Jingyue's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said in a cold voice: "Rumors spread like wildfire. I ordered my Dark Guard to go investigate this in the afternoon and have already found out the source of the rumors."

The methods of the people behind the scenes were not very good, and the people who were sent to spread rumors were even more stupid, so Dark Guard could easily find the source.

Chen Linye was startled, "Who did it?"

Xiao Jingyue sneered and did not speak.

On a cold night in the depths of the palace, lights shone brightly in the Yutang Palace.

An emperor dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe sat on the main seat of the great hall. His expression was gloomy as he looked at the people kneeling in front of him.

The one sitting beside him was Empress Jiang, who had a seemingly gentle expression on her face but a cold glint in her eyes.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely tense. All of the palace attendants who were guarding the hall lowered their heads, not even daring to breathe loudly.

It was unknown how much time had passed before the youngest Eleventh Princess finally couldn't endure it any longer. He lowered his head and apologized, "Royal father, this son knows his wrongs and doesn't dare to do it again."

Just as she was about to sleep and rest, an attendant suddenly came and brought her to the Yutang palace.

At first, she didn't understand why, but after seeing her mother kneeling on the ground and her close servant girl, she understood.

She had only sent her maid to spread those rumors that were detrimental to Qu Ling, but she did not expect to find out that it was late at night. She hated them to the extreme in her heart, but she did not dare to act rashly in front of her royal father and empress.

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, the Queen who had been silent all this while suddenly asked: "Can Eleven tell me why I have been opposing Ah Ling all this time?"

This was something that both the emperor and empress had asked him before, but the question had been faltered by the Eleventh Princess.

This time was naturally no exception.

Eleventh Princess lowered his head: "This son has not gone against Qu Ling."

Yi Fei looked at her daughter and frowned.

There were two people kneeling next to the two of them. One was the maid that had been sent out, while the other was a commoner who had been found by the maid to spread rumors.

The commoner was a middle-aged man, and was brought into the palace by Xiao Jingyue's bodyguard, who also brought with him banknotes that were given to him by the maid.

Now, it could be said that the authentication material was conclusive, and he couldn't deny it even if he wanted to.

I hope that this silly girl won't be too foolish and drag her into the water as well.

"Is that so?" The empress couldn't help but laugh lowly. "Why has this palace heard that eleven seems to admire the General Xiao?"

Eleventh Princess's face changed, even his crying stopped.

Yi Fei's expression did not change at all as she quickly replied, "Nothing like that happened!"

The emperor ignored her as he lowered his head to look at Eleventh Princess at his feet and said indifferently, "Eleven, speak."

How could the Eleventh Princess say that?

Admit it or not?

If she did not admit it, then forget what had happened today, she could not have any more thoughts about Xiao Jingyue. Although she wasn't necessarily Xiao Jingyue, she still felt unresigned from the bottom of her heart.

If she admitted to it, today's matter could be explained, but for the grand princess and the general's wife to compete in jealousy and even use underhanded methods to slander the Mrs. Xiao, in the end, it would be a dishonorable affair. With her father's prejudiced opinion of Qu Ling, as well as his extremely harsh attitude towards his own children, she would still be punished in the end.

Eleventh Princess struggled inside his heart for a long time before finally ignoring the look in mufei's eyes as he resigned himself to his fate: "Yes, this son admires General Xiao."
