288. Xiao Gu is speechless(1/2)
The night is dark and the ice lake is freezing.
Yuan Ying asked a few questions, and then Gu Ling spoke, but she asked, "Is Yuanye still alive?"
Yuan Ying, who was standing casually, straightened up immediately after hearing this and narrowed her eyes, "Gu Ling, what do you mean?"
"Care." Gu Ling said two words.
Yuan Ying snorted coldly, "Of course Xiaoye is alive!"
"Why are you, by chance, in Liang Country?" Gu Ling asked.
Yuan Ying looked at Gu Ling steadily, "You didn't talk so much before. I thought you had no interest in my affairs, including my brother's."
Gu Ling spoke again and said four words, "Thousand-year Snow Lotus."
Yuan Ying was silent for a moment, then sighed, "Yes, you guessed it right, Ono is seriously ill. I left him to come to Liang Kingdom to find Millennium Snow Lotus to save him. I learned halfway that you were going to get married here."
"I do." Gu Ling said.
Yuan Ying asked, "What?"
"Xuelian." Gu Ling said.
"Is it... for me?" Yuan Ying was surprised.
Gu Ling nodded lightly and said, "Cancel it with one stroke."
Yuan Ying looked at Gu Ling with deep eyes, "I don't know how you got the snow lotus, and I won't ask. But you are sincere to that little girl, right? Don't you want me to embarrass her?"
"I just don't want to marry you." Gu Ling said.
Yuan Ying hummed softly, "It's like my sister, I can't get married! Bring it here, Xuelian!"
"Wait." Gu Ling turned around and left.
Yuan Ying looked at his back, sighed slightly, bent down and placed her hands on the cold lake. After a while, while standing up, she took off her mask, put her cold hands on her cheeks, and said to herself
Said to himself, "Be clear, Xiaoye is the most important thing..."
…
After Gu Ling returned, when she saw Yuan Ying again, she was still the same as before, wearing a mask and unable to see her face.
Taking the box from Gu Ling, Yuan Ying said, "Why is it so small?" She opened it and found a layer of jade inside the wooden box, with two crystal snow lotus petals inside.
"I thought it was just one flower." After Yuan Ying confirmed it, she immediately closed the box with a dissatisfied tone.
Gu Ling shook his head, "You said that just two pieces can save the wilderness."
"But there may be problems with pharmaceuticals!" Yuan Ying said coldly, "Two tablets are not enough!"
"Situ Han won't give me one more piece." Gu Ling said, "You are good at making poisons, and medicine is similar to it, but that is your brother, and you are nervous."
"Nonsense!" Yuan Ying interrupted Gu Ling, "Anyway, two slices are not enough, you must have a way!"
"Ask someone for help." Gu Ling said.
Yuan Ying asked, "What do you mean?"
"Su Liang will make medicine for you." Gu Ling said.
"Are you sure? If something goes wrong, can she afford it?" Yuan Ying asked coldly.
Gu Ling shook his head, "I will take responsibility for any problems."
After a long silence, Yuan Ying returned the box to Gu Ling, took out a piece of paper from her arms and handed it to him, "Here's the prescription. I'll come back tomorrow." After saying this, he disappeared.
…
Su Liang got up early in the morning to go for a run and exercise. When she saw Gu Ling after washing, he was cooking porridge in the kitchen, with her little red apron still tied around his waist.
"Good morning, Great God." Su Liang said with a smile.
Gu Ling turned around and glanced, "Good morning." Although the weather outside was hazy, as long as Su Liang appeared, he felt that everything around him became brighter.
"Are you ready for millet and red date porridge and pot stickers?" Su Liang gave a thumbs up again, "It seems that you really want to be a chef."
Next to it are the prepared vegetarian stuffing and the mixed noodles. But according to Su Liang and Gu Ling's eating habits, they usually don't make dumplings in the morning, but fry pot stickers.
Su Liang sat down on the small bench naturally, added a piece of firewood to the stove, and sighed, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon. After the Chinese New Year, I will be seventeen."
"Stand up." Gu Ling said suddenly.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, but stood up obediently.
Gu Ling stretched out her hand, brushed it across Su Liang's head, and touched his shoulder, "You have grown taller than last year."
Su Liang sat down with a smile, "Of course. Last year's shoes are a little smaller this year, and the clothes are a bit shorter." What was not said was that the physical development was also changing.
It wasn't until after breakfast that Gu Ling mentioned that there were guests last night.
Su Liang was surprised, "Yuan Ying is already here? Master, why didn't you call me?"
"You want to see her? Why?" Gu Ling asked.
Su Liang coughed lightly, "I'm just curious. Of course I don't want to compete with her in poison skills. She took the snow lotus and left already?"
Gu Ling shook his head and went to get the box containing the snow lotus and the prescription.
When Su Liang learned what was going on, he was surprised, "You want me to help Yuan Ying's brother make life-saving medicine? If it goes wrong, the snow lotus will be gone."
"You can." Gu Ling said that he believed in Su Liang, "It's Yuan Ying who does it that will cause problems."
"That's true. She must be afraid that the snow lotus will be used and the medicine is not ready." Su Liang expressed understanding. She looked at the prescription. It was very complicated. In addition to the snow lotus, there were several rare medicinal materials, but what she was doing
They are available in every home in Liang Kingdom, so it shouldn’t be too difficult to find them in the capital of Liang Kingdom.
Su Liang gave the prescription to Gu Ling, "You are responsible for finding the medicinal materials. If you don't have any, ask the King of Yue for it. He will probably be happy for you to ask for it. Even if it is false."
Gu Ling didn't say that if Su Liang wasted two pieces of snow lotus, he would be responsible for finding a way to find another way to do it. On the one hand, he really thought Su Liang could do it, and on the other hand, he didn't want to put pressure on her. But no matter
Whatever the outcome is, he can bear it if he tells it.
Gu Ling went to look for medicinal materials, while Su Liang went into the palace to give Situ Han acupuncture, and they both left the palace at the same time.
Halfway through the horse ride, Su Liang suddenly felt someone staring at her. She looked around but found nothing. She suspected it was Yuan Ying.
After the acupuncture that day, Su Liang mentioned the Millennium Snow Lotus and asked Situ Han if he had seen it before.
As a doctor, it is normal for her to be interested in the best medicinal materials. And Liang Country is the place where snow lotus is most likely to grow.
Situ Han said with a smile, "I have seen it before. There used to be a thousand-year-old snow lotus in the palace, but it has been used up. Otherwise, I can have someone fetch it for you to see."
Su Liang sighed, "That's such a shame."
She deliberately asked, making Situ Han think that Gu Ling didn't trust her and didn't tell her about Xuelian. Naturally, he didn't really like her before agreeing to get married.
After leaving the palace, Su Liang went to General Peng's mansion.
Peng Qian has been seriously ill for many years, and the Peng family has also collected a lot of good medicinal materials. Su Liang came here to find medicine.
When Peng Wei learned about Su Liang's intention, he nodded cheerfully, "Take whatever you see that is useful!" He and his son are both recovered now and do not need those medicinal materials. It would be best for Su Liang to use them.
So, Su Liang went there on horseback, and when he left, he was followed by a Peng Mansion carriage, which contained things sent by Peng Wei, most of which were medicinal materials and some food.
At the same time, Gu Ling was at Prince Yue's Mansion, telling Situ Xie that he needed some medicinal materials.
Naturally, Situ Xie would not be as happy as Peng Wei was to Su Liang. Instead, he asked Gu Ling if he was feeling unwell with a concerned look on his face.
Gu Ling said that he was ill and only Su Liang could cure him, but there was a shortage of medicinal materials.
Situ Xie asked what the disease was, but Gu Ling remained silent.
Situ Xie personally took Gu Ling to the warehouse to search. Seeing that Gu Ling knew all kinds of medicinal materials, he smiled and asked, "Did you learn this from Su Liang?"
"It's in the book," Gu Ling said.
"I've always wanted to ask you. You have known each other for a long time and have lived together for so long. Are you sincerely marrying her this time?" Situ Xie asked with a smile.
Gu Ling remained silent.
…
When Gu Ling came back from Prince Yue's Mansion, Su Liang took inventory and found that all the medicinal materials were ready. Gu Ling also took several medicinal materials from Prince Yue's Mansion that were not needed this time but that Su Liang had always wanted to find.
"Master, can you help me?" Su Liang asked.
Gu Ling nodded, "Okay." He had learned these basic things from Su Liang, and according to Su Liang, he did it better.
Su Liang and Liandong had agreed yesterday to post the couplets together today. Seeing that the two of them had closed the door and never came out, Rendong silently posted the couplets himself.
Su Liang and Gu Ling were both very serious people, and they didn't even stop for lunch when they were hungry for snacks.
After working until it got dark, Gu Ling lit the lamp, and when it was completely dark, he finally made a light blue pill, which was round and full and exuded a refreshing fragrance.
"Are we successful?" Su Liang asked Gu Ling.
Gu Ling nodded, "It should be. The prescription states at the end that the color of the medicine is like early spring sprouts. If the color is wrong, the efficacy of the medicine will be different.
"Great, after all, life is at stake!" Su Liang subconsciously reached out and wanted to give Gu Ling a high-five.
Gu Ling asked back, "Joy, shouldn't it be hugged?"
Su Liang coughed lightly and said, "High-five, it means celebrating success."
