Reborn to marry a playboy, the scumbag kneels down and calls me aunt
Chapter 84 Visit
"Xiaobai is really becoming more and more precious. He won't fall down unless he is covered with the finest silk."
Bai Yu reached out and stroked the falcon's lively head, and the latter squinted his eyes and actually enjoyed it very much.
After a brief interaction, Bai Yu pulled out a piece of paper from the bamboo tube on the falcon's foot. After reading the contents on the note, Bai Yu smiled faintly.
"Master, the identities of those two people have been found out, and the people from the Shadow Hall have come to our door. Would you like to go and ask them in person?"
"It's Madam Guan, so of course I have to ask."
Liang Heng stood up slowly, "Prepare the horses, and set off immediately."
There was a hint of surprise in Bai Yu's eyes. She and her brother Bai Shu had followed the Pavilion Master for many years and were well aware of his physical condition. He had been with many women over the years but had never given his true heart to any of them. Bai Yu had thought that he would be so romantic and unrestrained all his life until his death.
But no one expected that he suddenly got married, and seemed to have a very good relationship with that beautiful lady.
A carriage was soon prepared outside the Tianxing Pavilion. Liang Heng got on the carriage and took the masters of the Tianxing Pavilion to the outskirts of the capital in a grand manner.
In the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Su Xuqing sat under a peach tree studying a medical book, sometimes frowning, sometimes muttering to himself.
"The Yinhe Tiangui herb is cool in nature, nourishing, and mild in medicinal properties. It has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, and removing toxins. The best herb is three hundred years old, but it is extremely rare."
Su Xuqing read it word by word, and she didn't think it was very novel, because there were many tonics like this among the known medicines. But when she read to the end, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw a line of small words printed under the introduction of Yinhe Tiangui.
'It is used to treat pecking pulse, and the effect is excellent, which can prolong life.'
For Su Xuqing, no matter whether it was the targeting by the second house or the assassination arranged by the court, none of them was more important to her than Shen Xuanheng's life.
As long as Shen Xuanheng is alive and lives to meet that wandering monk and obtain the complete Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, Shen Xuanheng's pecking pulse will have a chance to be completely cured.
The biggest wish of Su Xuqing now is that the couple live happily together for a long time.
"Yinhuan, go to all the major medicine shops in the city. If there is a shop that has three hundred years old Yinhe Tiangui for sale, buy it no matter how much silver it costs."
Su Xuqing suddenly raised her head, her eyes burning and particularly passionate.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Yinhuan didn't ask the reason and hurried to do her errand.
Xue Tao was a man of the underworld, and didn't know much about the Zhennan Palace, so he asked curiously, "Madam, why are you buying medicine for no reason?"
There was nothing to hide about Shen Xuanheng's illness, and the servants in the mansion basically knew about it, so Su Xuqing simply told Xue Tao...
When Xue Tao heard that the Prince of Zhennan might only live for a few years, she felt depressed. She didn't understand why someone as good as Su Xuqing had such a difficult fate.
Two hours later, the silver ring returned with empty hands.
"Madam, I'm back."
Su Xuqing was sitting under the peach tree. Seeing that she was empty-handed, he said with some regret, "Why, there is no 300-year-old Yinhe Tiangui in the capital?"
“Alas, I went to more than 20 time-honored pharmacies, and only one had the 300-year-old Yinhe Tiangui, but it was bought by someone a few days ago.”
"Bought it?"
Su Xuqing suddenly stood up and walked back and forth hesitantly under the tree.
"Did you ask who bought it? If this medicine has no special use, it can be replaced by other tonic medicines. If the person hasn't used it yet, maybe I can ask him to give it to me."
Yinhuan nodded quickly, "I asked around, and they said it was bought by a wealthy family in the capital who was buying desserts. I think it was called something like... Xu Fuji?"
"Prepare the carriage, we will go to visit him now, maybe he hasn't used up the herbs yet."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
In a panic, Su Xuqing left home with two maids and headed for Xu's house.
Xu Fuji is a century-old brand in Beijing. Its desserts, made with ancestral recipes, are sweet but not greasy, with an excellent taste, and are loved by men, women, young and old.
Thanks to this business, the Xu family is not only extremely wealthy, but also well-off.
Outside the majestic gate of the Xu Mansion, the carriage of the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion slowly stopped.
When the Xu family's doorman saw someone coming, he hurried forward to greet them.
"Which distinguished guest is visiting us?"
"My wife is the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Palace. I am here to discuss something with your master. Please inform him."
Yinhuan's tone was sweet and gentle, without any overbearing attitude, but even so, the doorman was startled and quickly responded and ran inside to report.
The owner of the Xu Mansion did not seem to have expected that someone from the Zhennan Palace would come to visit, and hurriedly came to the door to greet them.
"I didn't know that the Crown Prince's Consort was coming. Xu Mo failed to welcome her. I hope the Crown Prince's Consort will forgive me."
The head of the Xu family who came out of the door looked particularly young, probably in his twenties. He was dressed simply, had a haggard face, and swollen eyes, and it seemed that he had been crying not long ago.
"Master Xu, you are too polite. We came here uninvited, so there is no need to forgive us."
Xu Mo forced a smile, then extended his hand and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince's wife came to discuss something, so why not come over to your house to chat, and let me show my hospitality as a host."
"Okay, I'll bother Master Xu then."
The Xu family mansion has a deep courtyard, rugged rockery, and is quiet and elegant. There are no particularly luxurious furnishings. It is obvious that the Xu family knows how to live.
Walking along the bluestone road, Su Xuqing and her maid came to a living room. On the wall facing the main door hung a freehand landscape painting, which was very elegant. The chairs on both sides were made of purple bamboo, which was very unique and rare.
Su Xuqing took a seat, with two maids standing behind her, one on the left and one on the right. Xu Mo sat opposite Su Xuqing, appearing very reserved and respectful.
"I don't know why the Crown Prince's wife came to visit. But how can I, Xu Fuji, be of service to the Zhennan Palace?"
At this moment, Xu Mo still thought that Su Xuqing wanted to order special desserts from Xu Fuji, because in the past, officials’ residences had held birthday banquets and wedding banquets, and they would order large quantities of desserts from Xu Fuji in the county, so he thought that Su Xuqing came for this purpose as well.
Su Xuqing looked expectant and said quickly, "Excuse me, Master Xu, did you buy a 300-year-old Yinhe Tiangui in the medicine shop not long ago?"
Xu Mo was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Su Xuqing to ask such a question.
"I did buy a 300-year-old Yinhe Tiangui."
Hearing this, Su Xuqing said anxiously, "I wonder if this Yinhe Tiangui has been used up yet?"
"No..." Xu Mo looked doubtful and said hesitantly, "I wonder why the Crown Prince's wife asked about this?"
When Su Xuqing heard that the Yinhe Tiangui had not been used yet, she was relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "To be honest with Master Xu, my husband is ill and urgently needs Yinhe Tiangui to recuperate. I wonder if Master Xu is willing to bear the pain and give this medicine to the Zhennan Palace?"
Hearing this, Xu Mo's expression gradually became solemn, and then he shook his head without hesitation.
"Please forgive me, Princess, but I cannot agree to this."
