Chapter 77 The antidote in exchange for your serving King Qi for one night
Liu Yu pretended that he knew nothing, thanked the abbot, and promised that after this incident, he would donate incense to Anguo Temple every year.
Compared with his last savage look, Liu Yan now has a real appearance. Although he is a little thinner, he still has the charm of his past. No wonder Aunt Wei has been thinking about him for many years.
"Donor Liu, the poison in your father's body cannot be delayed any longer."
Liu Yu curled his lips calmly.
coming.
"Oh, thank you for the reminder, host. I will go back and prepare well. I was not able to fulfill my filial duties to my father when he was alive. I will let him die in glory." As he said this, Liu Yu wiped away his tears and looked like he had really accepted his fate.
The host was stunned. How could this be different from what he expected? This little girl simply refused to accept the challenge!
But his goal was not achieved. He coughed lightly and could only forcefully cut into the topic:
"Liu Shixing, you don't have to be so pessimistic. I heard that a holy medicine has been released recently that can cure all kinds of poisons. It is said that the immortal powder is no problem. If Shi can find this medicine, I think it can cure your father."
Liu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Immortal Powder?"
"Yes, the poison your father was poisoned with is called Shenxiansan." The host nodded and looked closely at Liu Yu's expression.
Liu Yu's series of reactions made him feel that the Pingnan Marquis Mansion had sent the wrong person. It was not at all like a daughter's reaction to her father.
Noticing the host's probing gaze, Liu Yu began to reflect on herself. Was it because she was not devoted enough in her acting?
Liu Yu cooperated very well and showed surprise, grabbing the host's arm:
"Really? Where can I find the antidote? I'll go find it."
That's right! The host stroked his beard and said in a profound manner:
"I don't know exactly where to find it, but I heard that there is a business in the capital that specializes in connecting with a caravan from the Western Regions."
Liu Yu's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked:
"Thank you for your advice, host."
The host achieved his goal. He instructed Liu Yu on some details about taking care of Liu Yan, then left the Zen room, leaving time for Liu Yu and Liu Yan, father and daughter.
Liu Yu looked at Liu Yan on the bed with complicated eyes, but did not wake him up. When it was almost time, she turned around, opened the door and walked out.
At a glance, I saw a robe exposed at the corner.
Liu Yu pretended not to see it and found the host, who confirmed that he would come to pick up Liu Yan and take him back to Pingnan Marquis Mansion three days later.
After she left the forest garden, she did not return to Pingnan Marquis Mansion immediately, but turned to the Chamber of Commerce Street and walked around the various chambers of commerce. The next day, she did the same thing.
During this period, she took advantage of her free time to visit Yuzhen Hall, where she had completed a piece of double-sided embroidery, the Picture of Eight Beauties, created by Madam Yang.
There are many other embroidery works of various sizes.
The number of people in the embroidery workshop increased from ten to fifteen.
When she came in, there were several waves of customers coming and going in the embroidery workshop. Liu Yu recognized two maids, the Shen family from the General's Mansion and the Qi Wang Mansion.
From Lixia's report, she learned that these were all regular customers.
She checked the account books again to understand the business situation of the embroidery workshop. Overall, the embroidery workshop had made a small profit after deducting expenses recently.
In the blink of an eye, it was past the afternoon. Before leaving, Liu Yu informed Anguo Temple of the auspicious day he had chosen yesterday to open the store.
After coming out of Yuzhen Hall, Liu Yu returned to Pingnan Marquis Mansion and went directly to Shou'an Hall to tell Qiu about what had happened in the past two days.
"Grandma, can I ask you something? Is the Lou Chamber of Commerce a Lou family business?" Liu Yu asked cooperatively.
"Yes," Qiu seemed to have thought of something and asked Liu Yu:
"The connection to the Western Region Chamber of Commerce that Sister Yu mentioned is Lou's Trading Company?"
Liu Yu nodded.
"That's easy. I'll call Lou over and you can ask her yourself."
Qiu asked someone to call Lou over and explained what had happened in a simple and clear manner.
Lou looked at Qiu and nodded: "Yes, our Lou's Chamber of Commerce has indeed connected with a caravan from the Western Regions. As for the holy medicine that Sister Yu mentioned that can dissolve the Immortal Powder, I will go back and ask, it may not be available."
Liu Yu bowed: "Thank you for your help, Second Aunt."
Lou snorted sarcastically. She still remembered Liu Yu's arrogant face the day before yesterday.
When Qiu glanced at him, Lou immediately lowered his head, not daring to raise any objections.
Liu Yu saw all the eye contact between the two, bowed and left Shou'an Hall, returned to the north courtyard, and waited quietly.
Lou returned to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion early the next morning, and someone from Shou'an Hall came directly to invite Liu Yu over.
When Liu Yu arrived at Shou'an Hall, there were not only Qiu and Lou inside, but also an unfamiliar middle-aged man.
"This is my second brother Lou Hongzhao. Sister Yu, if you have anything to say, please talk to your second uncle!" Lou introduced.
Liu Yu nodded, walked forward and saluted: "Second Uncle Lou, could you please ask me if the Western Region caravan that your Lou's Chamber of Commerce is working with has the holy medicine that can cure the Immortal Powder?"
Lou Hongzhao glanced at Qiu inconspicuously. Just last night, his younger sister came back and told him that Qiu asked him to pretend that Lou's Chamber of Commerce had connected with a caravan from the Western Regions, and got a holy medicine from those people that could cure all kinds of poisons.
The Lou family is just an ordinary business group, usually backed by the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. The Lou family dare not neglect the matters ordered by the Qiu family. He came here today not only to express his attitude, but also to confirm what to do next.
However, Mrs. Qiu did not respond to him immediately. She frowned, and no one knew what she was thinking.
"Uncle Lou." Liu Yu urged.
The Pingnan Marquis Mansion asked him to do this, so they must have the antidote. Lou Hongzhao admitted:
"There is indeed such a caravan, and they gave me a bottle of holy medicine, but this medicine is extremely precious..."
"My Pingnan Marquis Mansion is willing to offer a price to purchase it." The speaker was Qiu who had just reacted.
Lou Hongzhao looked at Qiu who was sitting on the main seat. She nodded imperceptibly and he knew what he should do.
"No need. The old lady has protected the Lou family for many years. Since it is what the old lady wants, I will have someone send the medicine to her later." After saying that, he left Shou'an Hall.
Liu Yu and Qiu looked at each other, and neither of them spoke first.
“Grandma, tell me what the conditions are. I will do whatever I can do.”
Qiu was satisfied with Liu Yu's attitude: "Sister Yu, I took this medicine for Yan'er."
Would Liu Yu believe it? Of course not.
The development of things to this point was within her expectations, but she was a little curious about what price Prince Qi paid to make the Qiu family and others go to so much trouble just to get her to go to Prince Qi's mansion?
"Sister Yu, you're overthinking it. You don't have to do anything. It's just that Sister Huan misses you. You can go see her in the evening!" Qiu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
Liu Yu asked the question in his mind: "Grandma, what does going to see Sister Huan have to do with this antidote? Why do we have to go at night?"
"Yujie, grandma is asking you if you haven't even seen Huan'er when she came to see you recently."
"Yes." Liu Yu did not deny.
"That's it. I'll tell you the truth! Sister Huan, you helped the family before, and you came to me for this matter. You are all members of the Liu family, and I don't want to cause discord between the sisters. No matter what, you must go to Prince Qi's Mansion."
