Chapter 265: Chapter 265. Looking For Someone

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Mother, this is Miss Su.”

Yeluchun followed beside Su Qing. The tall him and the petite Su Qing stood together and looked compatible. When he introduced Su Qing to Mother, his tone was filled with respect, without a trace of affection between a man and a woman.

“Miss Su, please sit.”

Yeluchun’s mother, Consort Lan, gently invited Su Qing to sit beside her soft couch. Su Qing was about to check her pulse to see if she was recovering, so he did not decline and sat down. He said lightly to Consort Lan,

“Let me check her pulse first.”

Su Qing’s calm temperament was no different from that of a famous doctor. Concubine Lan liked this girl even more. She obediently placed her arm on the soft couch and looked at her gently.

Su Qing lowered her eyes and pursed her red lips. Her thick, long eyelashes were like a fan, reflecting a faint shadow on her fair and delicate face, covering her cold but beautiful eyes. Her slender and slightly cold fingers were placed on Consort Lan’s wrist, taking her pulse. Her body emitted a reassuring strength, and Consort Lan quietly sized her up.

She was only eighteen or nineteen, with dark eyebrows and bright eyes. Her skin was as white as snow, and she had a cold temperament. She was so calm that she did not look like someone her age.

Consort Lan looked at her son lovingly. He was looking at Miss Su with concern at the moment. Her son was already past the age of marriage at twenty-two years old. Also, because of her mother’s illness, no one discussed marriage with him.

Concubine Lan wanted to help her son and Su Qing, but she first had to understand her situation. She smiled and asked Su Qing,

“How old is the young lady?”

“Eighteen.”

Su Qing looked at her indifferently. Did she think she was too young and did not believe in her medical skills?

“Who else is in the family?”

When Concubine Lan heard that the age was similar, the smile on her face became even more enthusiastic as she continued to ask.

“This has nothing to do with your illness.”

Su Qing’s expression turned cold. She was impatient and brought it out. This patient was talkative.

Concubine Lan’s expression was awkward. She was so frightened by Su Qing that she dared not ask any more questions. She looked up at her son. This girl had a bad temper. Could her son control her?

Yeluchun knew Su Qing’s personality and comforted Mother with his eyes.

Su Qing stood up after checking her pulse and said in a simple and shocked manner,

“The poison has been mostly cleared. Continue to take medicine and eat light food.”

After saying that, she didn’t look at Consort Lan again and stood up to leave.

Concubine Lan didn’t dare to speak to Su Qing anymore. This girl didn’t give people any face and was challenging to get along with.

“Mother, have a good rest.”

Yeluchun said to Mother and helped her cover up before walking out.

Yeluchun invited Su Qing to the seat of honor and instructed the palace maid,

“Serve the tea.”

Su Qing took two sips of the milk tea from Tartan and didn’t like the taste. She put down the exquisite teacup and looked at Yeluchun.

“I’ve brought the coal. I wonder if the Third Prince’s hides and cows are ready?”

Yeluchun hurriedly said,

“I’m ready; I’m just waiting for you to come.”

Su Qing nodded.

“Shuisheng is already waiting for the transaction at your market. Don’t come out personally.”

“The coal has been transported in?”

Yeluchun looked at Su Qing in shock. They had agreed to trade at the border.

Even if the Tartan Kingdom wasn’t impenetrable, it wasn’t easy to enter openly. Was this Miss Su’s magical power so great?

“Yes.”

Su Qing didn’t want to explain. She stood up and said,

“Order someone to make the transaction. I’ll give your mother acupuncture.”

Yeluchun did not ask Su Qing how she could transport the coal into Tartan. This girl did not like to explain things, and she did not like to be questioned.

“Five carts of coal.”

Seeing that he was about to leave, Su Qing remembered that they had ordered two carts of coal. He reckoned that Yeluchun did not have that many goods to exchange with her, so she added,

“You can owe it first and make up for it next time.”

Yeluchun was in a dilemma. He had already prepared the corresponding exchange goods for the two carts of coal he had ordered. He did not expect Su Qing to bring five carts of coal. He did not have enough stock to exchange for it. Moreover, he did not know how the market for this thing called coal was. Su Qing’s suggestion was exactly what he wanted, and Yeluchun immediately agreed.

“Alright.”

Su Qing stayed behind to perform acupuncture on Yeluchun’s mother. He ordered people to bring two carts of good leather goods to the market to find Ji Shuisheng to exchange for coal without delay. When Su Qing gave Consort Lan acupuncture, Consort Lan didn’t dare say a word. This girl was too cold and kept people at a distance. No one dared to disturb her.

“Be careful not to get caught in the wind.”

After Su Qing finished the acupuncture, she looked up at Concubine Lan and said, “Thank you, Miss.”

Su Qing stood up and was about to leave when Consort Lan called out to her,

“Young Lady saved my life, so this princess wants to treat Young Lady to a meal to express my gratitude.”

Su Qing didn’t even bother with the formalities and directly rejected them,

“No need; I still have things to do.”

After speaking, she left, leaving behind a cold back view. Consort Lan looked at the door of the yurt and sighed. This kind of woman was strange but was too arrogant and insensitive. It was difficult for her to blend in with the royal family.

After leaving Consort Lan’s yurt, Su Qing didn’t go to the market. She was at ease with Shuisheng doing business there. She still wanted to find the person doing this behind the scenes.

She bought a set of Tartan women’s clothes for convenience and changed into them. She liked Tartan hats and chose a hat with white fox fur.

This girl was beautiful, as if she had just walked out of a painting. She was born beautiful, and her snow-white skin made her even more beautiful when she wore the hat. The shop owner kept peeking at her.

Su Qing asked the shop owner to wrap up her clothes. After she left, she threw her clothes into the system and walked around the streets of Tartan empty-handed.

She first went to the Second Prince’s camp to take a look. The fierce battle a few days ago had significantly damaged the vitality of the Tartan Kingdom. The Second Prince’s side was heavily guarded. Sentries were sent one after another, shuttling back and forth without leaving any time for leisure.

Su Qing walked past the Second Prince’s camp and came to the First Prince’s camp. The person who raised the human demon must be the First Prince’s man. He must be hiding in the First Prince’s camp.

When Su Qing arrived at the camp, no soldiers stood guard at the entrance. When Su Qing first came here, the security was tight, and the soldiers were strong. Now, it was desolate.

The commoners in the First Prince’s territory were terrified. The figures that came and went were all in a hurry, not daring to stay outside long.

Outside the First Prince’s yurt were the gold, silver, and jewelry he had plundered. A team of Tartan soldiers from the Royal Guards glared at them. They were counted and packed into boxes, ready to be taken away.

The people Su Qing was looking for were not among them. Although the citizens of Tartan were tall, they seemed very honest. The soldiers of the Royal Guards looked strict, their eyes sharp, and they had the murderous aura of a soldier. Their temperament did not seem like they were people who could command people.

Su Qing stood outside the First Prince’s camp for a long time. The Royal Guards became suspicious of her and walked towards her with their weapons.

Su Qing frowned slightly. She didn’t want to cause any trouble and was about to leave when she turned around and bumped into a woman behind her.

“What did you do?”
