Chapter 1321 I have news of Bai Muzi
Imperial Doctor Cui thought optimistically, but he didn't know that after Cui Lan left the cabin, the look in his eyes became brighter and brighter. A certain idea also became more and more firm.
The passenger ship stopped for half a day at the nearby Fucheng after another day’s journey. When it set off again, the sky was already dark.
Cui Lan watched Shao Qingyuan and Shao Wen carry a basket of small fish to the bow for repair, she took a deep breath, walked to the door of Gu Yundong's cabin, raised her hand and knocked.
Gu Yundong had just finished dinner, and was reading with his notebook while waiting for Shao Qingyuan to return from repairing the fish. He planned to fry some dried fish for snacks later, but someone knocked on the door unexpectedly.
She froze for a moment, and after a little thought, she guessed who the person might be.
opened the door and saw Cui Lan with no expression on his face.
Gu Yundong raised his eyebrows, "Is there something wrong with Dr. Cui?"
"I want to talk to you alone."
Gu Yundong turned sideways, "Come in?"
"No, it's the same when you go outside."
Gu Yundong thought for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll get a cape."
She went into the room and closed her cloak, then locked the cabin door and followed behind Cui Lan.
It's actually a bit cold at the moment, especially since it's still in the evening, the temperature drops sharply, and the wind is a bit strong on the river.
Gu Yundong looked at Cui Lan who was walking in front of him and shrank his neck, and couldn't help but chuckle.
Cui Lan quickly took her to the corner of the deck, where some barrels and sacks were piled up, so no one came except the crew.
If you want to say something in private, this is also the right place.
Cui Lan stopped, looked at the rippling water at the bottom of the boat, squinted, turned to ask Gu Yundong, "I have a question to ask Mrs. Shao."
"You just ask."
"Is Mrs. Shao sincere towards Shao Qingyuan?"
This question was too mentally retarded, and Gu Yundong didn't even want to answer, "Of course it's sincere."
The corners of Cui Lan's mouth twitched, "Really? If it's sincere, it's for Shao Qingyuan's sake, right?"
Gu Yundong narrowed his eyes slightly, "What does Doctor Cui want to say?"
"Mrs. Shao always said that she has a deep relationship with her husband, so Shao Qingyuan should have nothing to hide from Mrs. Shao, right?"
Gu Yundong thought it was funny, why did Cui Lan look like she knew more about Shao Qing than she did.
Even though she and Shao Qingyuan never said a few words, they positioned themselves in a very delicate position.
Gu Yundong smiled and nodded, "Yes, he didn't hide anything from me."
"So Mrs. Shao also knows that Shao Qingyuan is looking for a medicinal herb called Bai Muzi?"
Gu Yundong suddenly raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes became extraordinarily sharp in an instant.
Bai Muzi?
She didn't expect to hear the name Bai Muzi from Cui Lan's mouth.
Brother Shao is looking for Bai Muzi, of course she knows, and this Bai Muzi is for her mother.
Cui Lan glanced at Gu Yundong and then looked away, "It seems that Mrs. Shao knows."
"Bai Muzi is an extremely rare medicinal material. It is mostly used for brain diseases. It is very precious. As of now, few people in the entire Jin Dynasty have this medicine, even if anyone has it. This medicine is too little known to outsiders, it can be said to be expensive and unmarketable."
Saying that, Cui Lan looked at Gu Yundong, "Shao Qingyuan needs this medicine very much. When he came to the capital, when I saw him inquire about Bai Muzi's whereabouts with my own eyes, I couldn't wait to confirm it in person. The thieves shot him on the spot."
