Chapter 1321: I Have News of Bai Muzi
Imperial Physician Cui was optimistic, but he did not know that after Cui Lan left the cabin, her eyes beca brighter and brighter. A certain thought also beca more and more determined.
The passenger ship sailed for another day and stopped in the nearby prefectural city for half a day. When it set off again, the sky had already darkened.
Cui Lan watched with her own eyes as Shao Qingyuan and Shao Wen carried a basket of small fish to the bow of the ship. She took a deep breath and walked to Gu Yundong’s cabin door. She raised her hand and knocked.
Gu Yundong had just finished dinner and was reading a book while waiting for Shao Qingyuan to co back. She planned to fry so fish later as snacks, and she did not expect soone to knock on the door.
She was stunned for a mont. After thinking for a while, she guessed who the person might be.
She opened the door and saw Cui Lan, who had no expression on her face.
Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows. “Doctor Cui, what’s the matter?”
“I want to talk to you alone.”
Gu Yundong turned sideways. “Shall we talk inside?”
“No need. It’s the sa if we talk outside.”
Gu Yundong pondered for a mont and nodded. “Alright, I’ll get a cloak.”
She entered the room and ca back with her cloak. She locked the cabin door and followed Cui Lan.
It was actually a little cold now, especially since it was evening. The temperature had dropped sharply and they were on the river, so the wind was a little strong.
Gu Yundong looked at Cui Lan walking in front of her and shrinking her neck. She could not help but laugh secretly.
Cui Lan quickly led her to the corner of the deck. There were so wooden barrels and sacks piled there, so no one ca except the crew.
If they wanted to say sothing in private, it was appropriate here.
Cui Lan stopped in her tracks and looked at the ripples at the bottom of the boat. She narrowed her eyes and turned to ask Gu Yundong, “I have a question for you, Mrs. Shao.”
“Ask away.”
“Is Mrs. Shao sincere about Shao Qingyuan?”
This question was so stupid that Gu Yundong did not want to answer. “Of course I’m sincere.”
Cui Lan’s lips curled up. “Is that so? If you’re sincere, then you’re willing to do anything for Shao Qingyuan, right?”
Gu Yundong narrowed her eyes. “What exactly is Doctor Cui trying to say?”
“Mrs. Shao has always said that she has a deep love for her husband. Shao Qingyuan shouldn’t have hidden anything from Mrs. Shao, right?”
Gu Yundong found it funny. Why did Cui Lan look like she knew Shao Qing better than his wife did?
She and Shao Qingyuan had clearly not spoken much, but she had placed herself in a very subtle position.
Gu Yundong smiled and nodded. “Yes, he doesn’t hide anything from .”
“In that case, Mrs. Shao also knows that Shao Qingyuan is looking for a dicinal herb called Bai Muzi?”
Gu Yundong suddenly looked up at her. Her gaze instantly beca exceptionally sharp.
Bai Muzi?
She did not expect to hear the na Bai Muzi from Cui Lan’s mouth.
Of course, she knew that Brother Shao was looking for Bai Muzi. Furthermore, this Bai Muzi was for her mother.
Cui Lan glanced at Gu Yundong and looked away. “It seems that Mrs. Shao knows.”
“Bai Muzi is an extrely rare dicinal ingredient. Mostly, it is used for brain diseases and is very precious. Currently, only a few people in the entire Dajin Dynasty have this dicine. Even if soone has this dicine, there are too few people who know about it. It can be said to be priceless.”
As she spoke, Cui Lan looked at Gu Yundong. “Shao Qingyuan really needed this dicine. When he ca to the capital, I saw with my own eyes that after he found out about Bai Muzi’s whereabouts, he couldn’t wait to personally confirm it. Because of this, he was almost killed on the spot as a thief.”
