I can't afford to mess with the concubine doctor

Chapter 96 Returning to Beijing
Murong Li, it must be him!
But... based on Qu Lingxu's understanding of Murong Jing, the other party took such a big risk to lure her out of the capital, not just to assassinate her.

What purpose would he have?
Beijing...

While her thoughts were spinning, Qu Lingxu's dignified and kind face suddenly flashed through Qu Lingxu's mind, making her feel chills down her spine.

That's right, when she's not here, Mrs. Xu will definitely find a way to take revenge. Once the other party makes an attack, Mrs. Chen's methods are absolutely unstoppable. Now I just hope Mrs. Xu will not rush to attack, otherwise she will rush back to the capital , I'm afraid there is no way to recover!
Mo Ruyu didn't know that so many thoughts flashed through Qu Lingxu's mind in just a short moment, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Hey, what kind of expression do you have?"

Leng Yuanxun was not injured, shouldn't she be happy?
Mo Ruyu's words brought Qu Lingxu back from deep thinking, but the melancholy on her face did not diminish by half. Her dignified eyes swept over Yao Xuan and Du Ming's elders, and finally fell on Mo Ruyu, her voice condensed He said: "I was negligent for a while, I'm afraid I have fallen into Murong Li's trap, and now I need to return to Beijing immediately, if Prince Leng arrives in Xiling, please ask the young master to convey the news on his behalf."

"You are going to leave now, so what can you do!" Du Xuan still had a straight face, but there was a trace of reluctance in his sharp eyes.

Qu Lingxu is a rare genius, as long as he is well trained and sharpened, he will surely inherit his mantle and carry forward Poison Valley in the future, how can he be willing to let the other party leave in a hurry.

Although it has been less than two hours since we met, Qu Lingxu can also see that although Du Ming has a weird temper, he is not a bad person, so he bowed his knees and blessed him, and said eagerly: "Grandpa doesn't know something, The Xu family is insidious and vicious. Because of coveting the position of the main wife, she tried to put the younger generation and mother to death several times. Fortunately, the younger generation was vigilant and did not let her succeed. This time Murong Li is willing to risk the crime of deceiving the emperor. A woman alone, I'm afraid it will hurt my mother."

Although Qu Lingxu and the Chen family are not related by blood, the other party is the mother of the original owner after all, and she has been caring for her a lot these days, so she must not abandon her to a dangerous situation and ignore her.

Hearing this, Du Ming didn't understand, he pondered for a moment, and was about to speak, but saw Yao Xuan said coldly first: "In recent years, the Xu family has relied on the power of Concubine Xu and the second prince to do evil everywhere. Not to mention anything else, just the number of ordinary people who were arrested by him to do drug experiments is unknown, so if they don't know how to restrain themselves, I'm afraid they will be exhausted."

drug trial?

It was the first time for Qu Lingxushang to hear about this, and he couldn't help but blurted out, "Does Grandpa know what the drug he is experimenting with is?"

"Naturally, it's a nasty thing that can't be put on the stage." Du Ming's tone was full of resentment, and he didn't shy away from Qu Lingxu, he just said coldly: "In conclusion, the old man and Xu Maolin are also from the same school. He came to Xiling Mountain to study through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and the master saw that he was a good seedling, so he made an exception and accepted him."

At this time, Yao Xuan also interjected: "This old boy was quite peaceful at first, but who would have thought that he would encourage Master to develop the plague virus after a while, the plague is the greatest evil in the world, once it spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable, Master flatly refuses, And drove the bad-hearted Xu Maolin down the mountain, unexpectedly, he would not change his nature, and used his two beautiful daughters to have a relationship with the royal family. From then on, even the old man can do nothing to him for a while."

"No wonder."

Although there is no conclusive evidence, there are various indications that the mastermind behind the outbreak of the plague in Beijing some time ago was none other than Dr. Xu. Strong bacterial virus, just like the live plague experiment conducted by Japan in Northeast China during the Anti-Japanese War!

Originally, Qu Lingxu thought that Xu Maolin would shirk the matter of going to Jiangling to himself on the grounds of retreat and practice, but now it seems that this is only a small part of the other party's plan, and its real purpose is probably to speed up the development of a more powerful viruses to achieve ulterior motives.

However, over the years, Xu Maolin has been practicing medicine and has cured countless intractable diseases. The Pushantang he opened all over the country has helped many homeless orphans. It can be said that he has a good reputation all over the world. Use the lives of thousands of people to achieve the purpose of eliminating dissidents.

There is no more appropriate explanation for the so-called beast in clothes.

Qu Lingxu unconsciously chewed a sneer, Xu Maolin's wishful thinking was good, but she would never let the other party's trick succeed!
Thinking of this, Qu Lingxu asked again: "Grandpa, do you know where he is doing the experiment?"

"That old boy is very cunning and extremely defensive. Our people have found several places, but every time he has noticed something, he fled ahead of time, and he didn't leave even a trace." Speaking of this, Du Ming's wrinkled forehead was twisted into a ball like a twist, which showed that he was extremely distressed.

This point undoubtedly surprised Qu Lingxu. She knew very well how powerful the Dugu Sect was in the Jianghu. With the power of the other party, it took many years to find out the details of Xu Maolin, which is enough to explain one point... The opponent's strength is by no means as simple as she imagined before.

Everything needs to be discussed in the long run.

However, the presence of a common enemy, Xu Maolin, brought the relationship between Qu Lingxu and Yao Xuan Du Ming closer, which was a good thing.

After all, Qu Lingxu was an outsider, and it was a little inappropriate for Yaoxuan to say these hidden things, so he didn't say anything more, but asked: "Since you are worried about the situation in Beijing, the old man will not keep you." I'm afraid there will be many opportunities to meet again in the future."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Qu Lingxu bowed to Yao Xuandu respectively, and then turned his eyes to Mo Ruyu. Mo Ruyu understood what he meant, and hummed softly, "My young master ordered someone to prepare for you. A few fast horses, go back immediately, so as not to cost me a meal."

Qu Lingxu was concerned about Chen's safety, so naturally he didn't want to delay any longer. After saying goodbye to Mo Ruyu, he rushed back to Beijing with Ling Xiaolingyun and others. After more than ten hours of traveling day and night, he finally arrived at On the evening of the second day, the key to the gate of the city entered the capital. After entering the city, Qu Lingxu did not return to the mansion immediately, but deliberately stayed in the downtown area for a while. Seeing that there was no talk about the general's mansion, he felt relieved.

All the way back to the General's Mansion, the guard at the gate saw someone stopping at the gate with a horse, and was about to scold him, but when he took a closer look, it was Qu Lingxu, who was terribly surprised, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Little Greetings to Miss."

"Get up!" Because there is no mourning in secret, the general's mansion has not even set up the mourning hall, and there is no trace of mourning at the gate. Qu Lingxu naturally did not expect that the Chen family was no longer alive, so he just casually threw the reins to the servant. Indifferently said: "Send it to the stable."

The two servants quickly looked at each other, and decided not to talk too much at this time, but respectfully said: "Yes."

However, the truth cannot be hidden for too long. Qu Lingxu was worried about the safety of the Chen family, so naturally he wanted to go to the Fufang Courtyard to pay his respects. Weeping.

not good.

As this thought flashed through his mind, Qu Lingxu rushed into the main hall in three steps at a time, and sure enough, he saw Nanny Cui and a few maidservants kneeling on the ground, crying and throwing ghost paper into the brazier in front of them.

There is only one possibility for burning the ghost paper, and that is...

"Grandma Cui..."

Nanny Cui was completely immersed in grief, and she didn't hear Qu Lingxu's unreal call clearly. It was not until Qu Lingxu raised her voice and called out again that she raised her head as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"Miss..." Qu Lingxu had only left the capital for four days, and Cui Nanny never thought that the other party would come back at this time. She thought that she was hallucinating because of her sadness, until Qu Lingxu took a few steps forward. When he walked in front of her, he knelt down in front of Qu Lingxu with a plop, choked with sobs, "Miss, you are really back, you are finally back!"

From the moment he heard the crying outside the courtyard, Qu Lingxu's heart turned cold, but because he didn't see Chen's body, he was somewhat lucky, so he only reached out to help Nanny Cui, and said softly: "Mommy, get up and talk slowly when you have something to say, what about mother, what's wrong with mother?"

Chen's sudden tragic death and the unfair treatment of the secret mourning made Madam Cui feel extremely resentful. At this moment, all the grievances turned into tears and vented out. Weeping in a loud voice: "Miss, madam, madam... she is no longer here! Madam was killed by someone, you must seek justice for madam..."

Although he had expected this result, Qu Lingxu's heart still trembled uncontrollably after hearing Nanny Cui's words, the exhaustion from running around for days and the instinctive sadness of the body all rushed to his forehead, For a moment, she even wanted to escape.

Qu Lingxu took a deep breath. Seeing her pale face, the servant girl quickly helped her to sit on the chair. After a short silence, Qu Lingxu's eyes gradually blurred. Controlling the trembling body, it took a while before he said sharply: "Where is mother?"

It was fine if Qu Lingxu didn't ask, but when she asked, Nanny Cui cried even harder. After all, it was the little girl beside her who wiped away her tears and replied: "After the emperor learned of the news of Madam's death, he ordered that the funeral be kept secret. And temporarily hand over all matters in the mansion to Concubine Xu Guifei. Concubine Xu Guifei said that his wife's body would rot easily if left in the house, so she asked the palace staff to move it to the cold storage. I can quietly burn some paper money for my wife..."
