Chapter 231 The restaurant business doesn't seem to be very good
Chun'er, the servant girl next to Concubine Liu, saw her master's ugly face, and quickly tried to persuade her.
After hearing Chun'er's words, Concubine Liu couldn't help but smile.
"Chun'er, you are right. I will not give up such a good opportunity to be a queen! Shangguan smiled and said that she is nothing now, and she will never want to fight with me again."
Concubine Liu's eyes shone with gloomy light, and there was a cruel bloodthirsty smile on the corner of her mouth.
"Chun'er, go and do something for me, and deal with those concubines who are inconvenient."
"Yes, the servant obeys!"
Chun'er nodded, then stepped back.
"Shangguan smiled, you are still too young, you are not my opponent at all!"
Concubine Liu smiled grimly.
……
Shangguan smiled and had breakfast, and went to Zuo Xiang's father's room.
And Zuo Xiang's mental state has improved a lot since he took Broken Heart Herb for detoxification yesterday.
"Dad, do you feel any discomfort now?" Shangguan smiled and looked at Zuo Xiang on the bed worriedly.
"There's nothing uncomfortable. You don't have to worry. Dad's health is much better. The imperial doctor said that he will be able to get out of bed in a few days."
"That's good."
Hearing this sentence, Shangguan smiled and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Although she had already made an agreement with the imperial doctor, after a few days of eliminating the remaining toxicity of the heartbroken grass, Zuo Xiang could get out of bed and move about.
However, just in case, it is better to let Daddy rest for a while.
"Smile, you came here so early today, is there something wrong?"
Prime Minister Zuo looked at Shangguan with some doubts and smiled.
"I came to Daddy because I wanted to ask Daddy about the palace banquet that night. I remember my mother said that after Daddy came back from the palace banquet, he suddenly felt unwell?"
"Yeah, at the time, I felt the pain in my chest was terrible, so after returning from the palace banquet, I went back to my room to rest, but, I don't know what happened, when I woke up the next morning, my chest didn't hurt anymore, and there was another one. It felt refreshing, so I didn't think much about it."
"Dad, do you still remember what happened at the palace banquet?"
"I"
Zuo Xiang frowned hesitantly, as if he had fallen into deep thought.
"What's the matter, Daddy, do you have something to hide?" Seeing Zuo Xiang's hesitant expression, Shangguan couldn't help asking with a smile.
"Thinking about it now, it's really nothing. But at the palace banquet that day, Concubine Liu seemed to be very enthusiastic, but she accidentally spilled wine on my shoulder during the palace banquet. Do you think it was because I was not paying attention? Poisoned me when I was here? I remember that the emperor asked the old minister to change his clothes at that time."
Zuo Xiang recalled the scene at that time, and suddenly felt lingering fears.
He was poisoned with toxins, and if the emperor hadn't asked him to change his coat, he would have died.
Hearing Zuo Xiang's words, Shangguan's smiling face suddenly became ugly.
It turned out that Concubine Liu really did something at the palace banquet!
No wonder Zuo Xianghui was suddenly poisoned, she was so naive, she thought that after Liu Xiang's accident, Concubine Liu, her daughter, would restrain herself a little.
Thinking about it now, Concubine Liu's scheming is too heavy!
"Dad, I know what to do, don't worry!"
"Be careful."
"Ok!"
Looking at Shangguan's smiling confident expression, the worry on Zuo Xiang's face also dissipated a lot.
"Dad, then I'll go first and see you another day."
Shangguan smiled towards Prime Minister Zuo with a smile, turned and left the study.
Seeing Shangguan's smiling back disappearing outside the door, Zuo Xiang put away the expression on his face.
Thinking of what happened just now, his brows couldn't help frowning.
Concubine Liu is so vicious, I don't know if Shangguan Xiaoxiao can deal with it?
However, this girl has always been so smart and clever, so there should be no accident.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head, driving away the messy thoughts in his mind.
……
Recently, Shangguan Xiaoxiao hasn't been to Shenxianju for several days because of the left minister's affairs, and he doesn't know how the restaurant's business is these days.
After thinking about it, she decided to take a look.
After making up his mind, Shangguan Xiaoxiao left Zuoxiang's mansion and hurried to Shenxianju.
In less than half a column of incense, she arrived at Shenxianju.
As soon as she walked into the restaurant, Shangguan Xiaoxiao smelled a strong medicinal scent, which made her brows wrinkle.
Seems a little too strong?
"The shopkeeper, what's going on?"
Seeing Shangguan approaching with a smile, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him.
"Girl, you are finally here. You haven't been to the store for two days, and the business in the store is not as good as before."
The shopkeeper smiled and complained to Shangguan with an aggrieved face.
Hearing this, Shangguan smiled and frowned slightly.
"The shopkeeper, with such a strong medicinal fragrance, are you making medicinal meals?"
Shangguan smiled and looked at the direction in which the scent of the medicine wafted out, and asked in a slightly surprised tone.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper nodded immediately.
"That's right, girl, didn't you teach me the recipe of medicinal food last time, I just wanted to try it."
"Could it be that you have been studying medicinal foods every day for the past two days? I didn't expect the shopkeeper to be so powerful. I just said it once and you remembered it. However, the taste seems to be a bit too much. I have to check it out."
"Girl, you are too complimented. I still hope that you can guide me. That would be the best."
Seeing Shangguan smiling and praising himself, the shopkeeper immediately said excitedly, "I made it a little according to what you said, maybe the taste will be stronger. I just hope that the business of our restaurant will get better and better."
Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Shangguan smiled with a look of relief on his face.
"The shopkeeper, you are really caring. You see, I've been busy these days, so I forgot about it."
"It's okay, as long as the guests are willing to buy our medicated food, then I'll be very happy."
The shopkeeper said cheerfully.
Shangguan smiled when he heard the words, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Okay, I'll go and see how the medicated meals are now being made in the kitchen. Go ahead and do your work first."
"Okay! That girl, go to work first, and call me if you need anything."
"Ok!"
Seeing Shangguan walking away with a smile, a faint smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face.
The kitchen door.
"Girl, you are here. You are the lucky star of our restaurant."
"Xiao Wu, your little mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter!"
Seeing the boy standing in front of him, Shangguan couldn't help but tease with a smile.
"Hehe. The girl has won the prize!"
Xiao Wu scratched his head, his face a little shy.
"By the way, girl, during your absence, the business of the restaurant has declined a lot, so, do you think it is possible to provide more fresh ingredients and increase the number of customers?"
"I don't have any problem with this. I'll let someone prepare it. By the way, has anything happened to you these two days?"
Shangguan smiled and looked at Xiao Wu.
She was mainly worried that Concubine Liu would make trouble in her restaurant.
