Children of Loulan

Chapter 188: Meeting Grandma Ba

After breakfast in the morning, Hanguli called Dar and said, "Our Huimintang has been open for a while. Everything is done by Baixi alone. You can go with him to the medicine shop today."

Dahl nodded and said, "Okay, we can stop by the escort agency to see if the reply from the master and the mistress has arrived!"

Thinking of her parents, Hanguli chuckled and said, "Well, it's been a month, it should be time."

She lowered her head and thought for a while: "Ask Bai Xi how the prince's injury is. It's been so long, and I haven't visited him."

Dal thought about it, and Hanguli said, "Miss, why don't I go to the pharmacy and get the best tonic to send to the prince." She thought that since he was seriously injured, sending tonic would be the best thing.

But Hanguli was very surprised. She said softly, "The herbs in our pharmacy are just common herbs. They are suitable for ordinary people, but the herbs used by the princes of a great country are naturally the best tonic herbs personally selected by the queen mother and queen. The ones we have are not even comparable to them!"

In fact, Hanguli wanted to say that his injuries and illnesses were all fake, and he didn't need any medicinal herbs at all. Moreover, if she gave him the things in her pharmacy, it would not only make people laugh, but also be a waste. It would be better to leave them to the poor people who really needed them!

After hearing this, Dar also thought it made sense, so she said: "Okay, Miss, I will go right away!"

After she found Baixi, she explained her purpose. Baixi was reluctant to take her with her, but then he remembered that the prince had said that it was not easy to alert the enemy at this time, so he took Dal out of the palace. The two of them took a small carriage, and Dal sat in the shaky carriage. She lifted the curtain and asked, "Brother Baixi, how is the prince's injury?"

Bai Xi thought to himself that he really couldn't help himself after hearing this. He suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise and answered carefully: "The prince's condition is much better now, but he still needs to rest for a few months!"

After hearing this, Daer frowned and asked again: "Brother Baixi, you have been in the palace for a long time, so do you know that the prince is like this now, and our little..." She was about to say Miss, but then she remembered that this title was wrong, so she immediately changed her words, "Princess, what should I give to the prince?"

Bai Xi was secretly delighted, thinking that the fox's tail was finally going to be exposed. He pretended to be serious and answered: "The princess is thoughtful. Our prince has everything he needs. All items in the palace have been carefully selected, and only the best are sent to the palace." He smiled complacently, thinking to himself that it was simply a pipe dream to try to get information from me using such a cheap method.

Seeing that he could not get any more questions out of her, Dar reluctantly lowered the curtain and sat back in the car. She could see that this man named Bai Xi was not just an ordinary servant in the palace. Although his conversation with her seemed flawless, she could still feel his inner vigilance and preparedness.

After entering the pharmacy, Hanguli looked around and saw that the store was well organized. In addition to Bafu, the doctor, there were two pharmacists dispensing medicine. She couldn't help feeling relieved.

She waited for Bafu to finish seeing the patient, then walked over to his side and said, "Brother Bafu, the young lady asked me to come over and see you. Thank you for your hard work during this period."

When Bafu saw that it was Dal, he immediately stood up and said respectfully, "It's Miss Dal who came. It's not hard. On the contrary, I like it here very much. I have to thank the king..." He suddenly remembered that the princess had said not to let others know that this was her business, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Well, thank you, Miss, for giving me this opportunity to see patients here!"

Dahl said softly: "Brother Bafu, you are too polite. It is because you have the ability that Miss is confident in handing this place over to you!"

Bafu: "Yes, yes, I will never let you down!"

Then, Dahl asked some more questions about the operation of the pharmacy, and Bafo answered them one by one.

Finally, after a few more pleasantries, Dahl followed Bai Xi out of the door of the pharmacy.

At this time, Dahl asked Baixi: "Brother Baixi, are you busy?"

Bai Xi replied: "Not very busy, Miss Dahl, is there anything else?"

Dale chuckled and replied, "Then could you trouble Brother Baixi to take a detour and go to the escort agency?"

Bai Xi readily agreed, "No problem!" He then drove the carriage skillfully. While driving, he curiously asked, "Miss, are you going to the escort agency to mail something? But I see you didn't bring anything with you when you went out!"

Dahl explained: "It's not to deliver anything by mail, but to check whether the reply letter from the master and mistress to the young lady has arrived."

Bai Xi was full of doubts: "Reply?" As far as he knew, Xilin's father was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and her mother had died three years ago. Then who were these so-called "master and mistress of the family"? Could it be that Xilin was not the biological daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. After all, those officials' families would have some secrets that could not be revealed.

Dahl answered seriously: "Yes, Miss's hometown is far away. If you write a letter home, it will take a month to get a reply."

Baixi was a little confused about Dahl's answer, because according to their previous investigation, it was not the case. However, from Dahl's sincere expression, it seemed that he was not lying. Just as Baixi was thinking about how to ask further, Dahl suddenly shouted excitedly: "Hey, here, here, here, Brother Baixi is here!"

Dale's sudden voice interrupted Baixi's thoughts and brought him back to his senses. As expected, he had already arrived at the door of the escort agency and almost missed it. Baixi quickly pulled the reins, jumped off the carriage, looked at Dale with a little apology and said, "Miss Dale, I'm very sorry, I almost missed it."

Daer smiled and comforted her, "It's okay, Brother Baixi, didn't we just arrive?" In fact, Daer understood Baixi's thoughts, and was also aware of the prince's precautions and surveillance of the young lady, and also knew that the prince could easily find out all the information about them. Therefore, she did not intend to deliberately hide anything.

When Dahl got off the carriage and was about to turn around to enter the escort agency, she suddenly felt something soft touch her shoulder, and then heard a "Ah!" She was startled and quickly turned around to see what happened.

She saw a figure about to fall from behind her, and the person was holding a package in his hand. However, because she was walking too fast, she did not notice the person in front of her and ended up bumping into the other person.

She quickly apologized and reached out to help the man: "I'm sorry, I didn't notice..." But before she could finish her words, she pulled the man towards her with too much force and the man's entire body hit her again. She couldn't help but take two steps back and almost fell to the ground.

At this moment, Bai Xi strode over, quickly supported her, and helped her to stand firmly. When she stabilized, she found that it was Bai Xi who supported her, and his other hand also supported the person she knocked down.

She quickly apologized to the other party: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

The person turned around after hearing the voice, and when Dar saw her face clearly, he couldn't help but screamed, "Mother Ba!"

Bai Xi also looked at the person in front of him in surprise and called out, "Mother Ba!"
