Coming Kingly Son-in-Law: Don't Provoke the First Daughter - Chapter 177
Chapter 177 Xiao Han Taki
As Court Lady Gu raised her eyes and listened to the man’s words, she always felt that this Xiao Han Taki’s name carried a cold and chilly aura, and seemed to be a person who was not easy to approach.
“Xiao Han Taki is in the middle of the mountainside next to my residence, let’s hope you can find her.” After the Poison Doctor finished speaking, an attendant came in from outside, signaling the two of them, Gu Qiang and Gusu Liang, to follow him.
Out of the poison doctor’s courtyard, all the way to the west, this road is very far, Gu Qiang and Gusu Liang two people were already very tired, this road is also considered exhausted.
Finally, when it was going to be too much to hold on to, the waiter stopped in front of a simple courtyard.
This courtyard was not very large, compared to the kind of exaggerated courtyard of the poison doctor, it was simply a bit shabby, and could only even be as large as a part of one of the many rooms of the poison doctor.
The attendant turned to Court Lady Gu and said, “Miss Xiao should be right inside.”
With that, he knocked on the door and shouted inside, “Is Miss Xiao in?”
A hand then pushed open the door, and a woman in a purple dress stuck her head out to look outside, and eeped when she saw Gushu Ryou and Gu Qiang.
Court Lady Gu also looked at her in surprise when she met the woman’s face.
I can’t believe it’s that woman ……
The woman who saved them when Court Lady Gu was assassinated and isolated by the men in black.
At once, Court Lady Gu gave the girl a simple salute, raising her eyes to look at her quietly.
The girl got up and walked out, hugging her bladder and re-examining Court Lady Gu up and down before turning her head to look at Gusu Liang again, then asking, “Did you two turn out to be looking for me? If I had known this, I should have brought it back for you at that time, and it would have saved some time, I’ve been back for a little over half a day.”
When Court Lady Gu laughed, the attendant continued, “This girl wanted to come over and ask to see if there was any more Blood Recovery Grass on your side, girl.”
Xiao Han Taki’s face changed in an instant, from the kind of relief he had felt before to nervousness.
“Why do you guys want that kind of thing, could it be that someone used heart blood in order to recover their memories?” Xiao Han Taki then asked coldly.
Court Lady Gu nodded her head.
After Xiao Han Taki froze, he finally said helplessly, “What exactly are the memories worth definitely remembering? But then again, I don’t really have the Blood Returning Grass in my hands either, on the day I saved you guys, it happened to be the day I went to pick the Blood Returning Grass, and as you guys saw, I returned empty-handed.”
Court Lady Gu’s heart was gradually sinking, as if she couldn’t accept the result.
“Then where is the Blood Returning Herb and can I go find it?” Court Lady Gu then asked.
Xiao Han Taki turned his head to look at Gu Qiang, seemed to be a bit contemptuous, then said, “I’m afraid you can’t, your small body to go to that mountain, it is estimated to be difficult, but if you’re not afraid to die want to try, to is also possible.”
After she went inside and searched, she found a piece of paper from the room, raised it and said, “This time, the Blood Grass grows like this, and it is found on the mountain at the border between Hongzhou and the capital, so all you have to do is find the highest mountain and look carefully at the tip of the mountain, and you might even find it.”
When Court Lady Gu and Gusu Liang exchanged glances with each other, Gusu Liang nodded her head and said, “Give it a try girl, you can’t just go home empty-handed, don’t you think so?”
Gusu Liang just want to save their own master, the master for the Gu court ladies suffered how much crying she is the only one to see in the eyes. Now that there is finally a chance for Court Lady Gu to repay Shen Qianshan, I think Court Lady Gu herself should be willing.
Gu Qiang nodded, and the two of them prepared to head in the direction of the mountain.
Only after seeing these two people walk out a long way did the attendant ask Xiao Han Taki somewhat nervously, “Girl, are you really out of Blood Returning Grass? Now is the time when the Blood Returning Grass is in full bloom, are you really returning empty-handed?”
Xiao Han Taki’s eyes lit up as he turned back and grabbed inside the basket behind him and raised it, “I have a lot of it, and I’ve picked all the Blood Returning Grasses on that mountain, they can’t find it no matter what.”
The waiter does not understand, this Xiao Han Taki is a very gentle woman, previously not such a scheming, on the mountain picking medicine is a very hard work, if Xiao Han Taki feel do not want to give that Gu Qiang this blood grass for nothing, then ask for some money, anyway, the treatment of illnesses and practice of medicine, in the end, are not all for the sake of money?
“Why did you do that?” The attendant then asked.
Xiao Han Taki’s expression suddenly became very bad as he said, “I’ve asked the poison doctor before, this woman is the first-born young miss of the Gu family in the capital, the famous Luo Ping county princess.”
“Oh, that’s really a very powerful woman then, I’ve heard more or less about this woman.” The waiter then came to a realization.
But Xiao Han Taki’s expression became even more grim as she said word by word, “This woman is the woman who once indirectly killed Widow Ning, if I had known that it was her in the first place, I would have inevitably not saved her, but it’s good that I have the opportunity now, sending them to the mountains to fend for themselves is also considered me being merciful to the end.”
After Xiao Han Taki finished speaking, he put his expression away and turned around to leave the courtyard.
The waiter stood there thinking for a long time before it finally came to him.
This Xiao Han Taki with a rich merchant’s daughter in Jiangnan before the relationship is very good, the rich merchant’s daughter’s name is called Su Shuang Ning, this Su family is a medical family, the status of the capital is very high, and later in the capital’s foundation was burned by a fire does not have much left not to mention that the Su family Miss Su Shuang Ning was sent to the capital of the Nine Princes of the family to live under the home.
This nine princes and Su Shuangning are cousins, it seems that Su Shuangning likes this nine princes, but at that time the nine princes already with this Luo Ping county princess close relationship, simply can not tolerate a third person.
Afterwards, I heard that it was Su Shuangning who captured the Luoping County Princess and threatened the Ninth Prince, and the Ninth Prince, in a fit of rage, personally sent his uncle’s family’s incriminating evidence to the Emperor, and the Su family fell apart overnight.
After the attendant carefully recalled these things, he then wondered in his heart, how could he think that this matter was Su Shuangning’s fault, and it didn’t make much sense that Xiao Han Taki had inserted himself in this. Emotional things who can say clearly? This is the matter of the parties involved, coupled with the fact that things have been so many years in the past, who is right and who is wrong what does it matter?
The waiter shook his head and left.
Xiao Han Taki, however, sat quietly in the courtyard, looking at the medicinal herbs in front of him, always feeling as if he had done something wrong, but what exactly was wrong?
Su Shuang Ning is her good friend, her family living conditions is not very good, Su family in Jiangnan when the family is big, strong ability, life is also very good, has been to help and support their own.
This favor was something he could not repay in any way, but the Su family fell apart in a flash, and he was completely unable to understand the collapse of a family that was like an old home.
It is not easy for people to make correct judgments when they are mixed with personal emotions, and mistakes are bound to happen.
But her feelings for the Su family forced her to make a biased choice.
Doesn’t she realize that Su Shuangning is wrong anymore? But when it came to relationships, it wasn’t unacceptable to spend some heartfelt means.
She couldn’t understand how to think about it, and angrily overturned all the herbs in front of her on the floor, hugged her knees and cried.
Gu Qiang and Gusu Liang hurriedly marched up the mountain with this portrait of the Blood Grass.
This mountain is too high, when you are at the bottom of the mountain, you must look for the highest mountain, and then head for that mountain, if you choose a wrong mountain when you are at the bottom of the mountain, then going up will inevitably be wrong as well, and you will not be able to find that Back to Blood Grass, no matter how far you have traveled.
The mountain that the two had chosen at the bottom of the hill looked far away, and as the old saying goes, when you look at a mountain, the two of them had to prepare enough dry food and water.
It took them a whole day to get halfway up the mountain, and when they turned to look around during the flashback, they were a little flustered.
Gusu Liang pointed to a mountain next to him and said, “Girl, how do I feel …… that mountain is even higher than the one on our side?”
Court Lady Gu turned her head as well, and sure enough, she felt that way.
Because it was standing halfway up the mountain, so naturally it felt that the mountain over there was a little bit higher, but if the truth is really like this, things would be too embarrassing, because after all, standing on the tip of the mountain looking at the distance between the two mountains is not far, but you can not fly over there, can only be a step by step to walk over there, which makes a person too devastated.
When Court Lady Gu thought about it, she closed her eyes, as if making up her mind, and said to Gusu Liang, “Let’s go.”
After saying that, he went up by himself, but at this moment, Gusu Liang stopped and looked at Court Lady Gu with great determination, “Miss, is that Xiao Han Taki playing tricks on us?”
“Why do you think so? We have no grudge against that woman from afar, so why would she try to trick us?”
It doesn’t make sense, if Xiao Han Taki is willing to sell this blood herb to Gu Qiang, no matter how much money Gu Qiang will come up with to her, but she didn’t say the price, just said no, that should be really no, otherwise why did Xiao Han Taki save her before?
“She has said that there is no Blood Returning Grass on this mountain, like if someone like her who is so familiar with this herb says that there is none, how can someone like us who is completely unfamiliar with the herb go and look for it?” Gusu Liang then said.
She felt that the way Xiao Han Taki looked at the girl was wrong, but she couldn’t tell where it was wrong, she just felt uncomfortable all over.
When Court Lady Gu thought about it, she said reassuringly, “Maybe we’re overthinking it, go up.”
Gushu Ryou knew that there was no use in thinking too much about it, and although that illusion had been haunting her, she was broad-minded and immediately forgot about it.
In the late afternoon, they finally made it to the tip of the mountain.
Standing at the highest point of the mountain, they looked around before they were finally relieved that this mountain was indeed the highest, and that there were no mountains around that were even higher.
There was a path on the tip of this hill, which was lined with large, sky-high trees, and the path rose and fell, and at the highest point was a platform with natural, not-quite-flat stones, warmed by the sun.
