Chapter 441: Who Doesn’t Know Ling Chuxi
Once the carriage reached the capital, Ling Yichen and the rest rushed to all of the big medical halls and chamber of commerce respectively.
Ling Chuxi went to the Gao Clan Chamber of Commerce straightaway. She had asked Luo Li before about the Snow Butterfly Grass and Luo Li did not have it there. Now, she was trying her luck to look for it at the Gao Clan Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps they would have it.
The moment she entered into the Gao Clan Chamber of Commerce, there was already someone welcoming Ling Chuxi warmly and respectfully. Who would not know Ling Chuxi at the capital now?
“I’m looking for your young master.” Ling Chuxi said directly.
“Miss Ling, this way please. The young master has given orders to bring you directly to him if you came over.” The servant said respectfully.
‘This Gao Wentian really knows how to deal with matters.’ Ling Chuxi sighed in her heart.
The servant took Ling Chuxi to the backyard straightway. He served her fragrant tea once they arrived at the hall behind. There was already someone who went to inform Gao Wentian. Gao Wentian’s figure appeared at the door just as tea was served.
“Miss Ling, it has been a long time since we last met.” Gao Wentian’s face piled with a smile that was like a spring breeze when he saw Ling Chuxi.
“Yes it has been a long time since we last met. But I’m afraid that I will need to trouble you again this time.” Ling Chuxi smiled and said.
“You are too courteous Miss Ling. As long as you are at my place, feel free to give any orders.” Gao Wentian laughed cheerfully.
Perhaps other people could not make out the ups and downs that happened in the capital these days. However, how was he unable to guess what had happened with his network and thoughts? What had happened that night at the streets of the capital where black armored warriors full of murderous aura had rushed to the palace, why the First Prince disappeared from the sight of the people at the same time when Ling Chuxi and the few of them came back, and not long after that news of his death from a sudden illness was spread.
As long as one could use one’s brain a little, one would be able guess the connection within too. If it were other people, they would only be able to figure it up to this point at most. But Gao Wentian had thought even further than this. The First Prince was already dead. Who would be wielding the great power of Nan Xia when the emperor dies in the future? Amongst the many sons and daughters of the emperor, most of them had no accomplishments even if they appeared to be busy. Only Fu Chengyu and the Fifth Princess were unique in their behavior and showed forth their distinctive sides.
But these two people had a close relationship with Ling Chuxi!
Thinking up to this point, Gao Wentian’s smile was even more brilliant.
“I’m looking for the Snow Butterfly Grass.” Ling Chuxi said in a brief and clear manner.
“Snow Butterfly Grass!” Gao Wentian’s smile froze. Although he had covered it up very quickly, it still had not escaped Ling Chuxi’s eyes.
“Is there anything wrong?” Ling Chuxi looked directly into Gao Wentian’s eyes.
“Why are you looking for the Snow Butterfly Grass?” Gao Wentian knew that his inattentiveness earlier on had not escaped Ling Chuxi’s eyes. He was lazy to cover up as well and asked bitterly.
“To save a friend.” Ling Chuxi said.
“I don’t know who this friend of yours is. But let me tell you one thing. The shadow of the Snow Butterfly Grass was no longer seen in Nan Xia Country since five years ago. Even the few shrubs of the Snow Butterfly Grass in the neighboring countries had already long been snatched up clean by people.” Gao Wentian said.
Ling Chuxi was slightly shocked. It was still understandable if the Snow Butterfly Grass could not be found in Nan Xia Country only. If the Snow Butterfly Grass was snatched up clean by people even in the neighboring countries, then that would be a little odd. It was obvious that there was someone who did not want Fu Chengyu to resolve the frost poison. This was also what Gao Wentian meant beyond what he had said.
