Seeing Bai Niangzi's reaction, Tang Lei knew there was hope, so he continued.

"If you can achieve merit, not only will you and your child be safe, but Ajiu will also be guaranteed a life of glory. You may not believe me, but you will not disbelieve Miss Li. Her sister is the Crown Princess, and with her there, I will never go back on my word."

Upon hearing Tang Lei's words, Li Youran hurriedly looked at Bai Niangzi and nodded solemnly.

Bai Niang sighed, as if she had made a great decision, and nodded in response to Li Youran.

Having found evidence and witnesses, Tang Lei and Li Youran dared not delay and rushed to the capital with Ajiu's family, traveling at breakneck speed.

"Who doesn't know Li Youran? She is the Crown Princess's younger sister, and the Princess Jiahe, bestowed by imperial decree."

With her large pregnant belly, Zhao Lanzhi supported her back with one hand and held a drink in the other, continuing to speak to the onlookers.

"The princess usually stays indoors all the time. Guess what she's researching at home? She's researching this beverage!"

The onlookers, upon hearing Zhao Lanzhi's words, began to discuss and point, clearly very interested in what she had said.

"The princess is used to eating delicacies and drinking fine wines. If she approves of something, how could it be bad?"

"Young lady, how much is your drink? We can't afford it if it's too expensive."

"After all that talk, is it actually good or not?"

Some impatient people couldn't help but ask Zhao Lanzhi a question. As she spoke, Zhao Lanzhi held up five fingers.

"You're robbing me! A drink costs fifty coins, while the lemon iced water next door is only fifteen coins."

Upon hearing the price, everyone waved their hands and prepared to leave, but Zhao Lanzhi hurriedly shouted loudly at them.

"Five coins! A drink for only five coins! You won't lose out or be cheated for five coins!"

In her anxiety, Zhao Lanzhi suddenly remembered a sentence that Li Youran had once told her, and finding it very easy to say, she blurted it out.

The people who were about to leave suddenly all came back.

A cup of beverage cost only five coins, and it was even personally developed by the princess, which surprised and delighted everyone.

"Really only five coins?"

"How about it? Isn't the price cheap enough? The princess said that she mainly wants to benefit the people. Otherwise, who would be willing to do something like this at a loss just to gain publicity!"

Seeing everyone's reaction, Zhao Lanzhi knew it was a good start, so she beckoned to the waiter behind her. A woman in uniform walked over carrying a wooden tray of drinks.

"Try it first, then buy it. If you don't like it, you can leave. If you like it, then you can buy it."

As Zhao Lanzhi spoke, she hurriedly distributed drinks, and the crowd rushed to take them and gulped them down.

This is some kind of divine nectar, sweet and smooth, flowing straight down my throat and into my heart. The sweet and sour taste is unforgettable.

"Lemon ice water is made by soaking lemon slices in ice water, while my juice is made from freshly squeezed fruit and contains ice cubes, so it costs much more than lemon ice water!"

While everyone was tasting the drinks, Zhao Lanzhi introduced how they were made. As soon as they tasted the drinks, they all took out their wallets to buy them, and a long queue formed in front of the shop.

Next to every lemon iced water shop, a Mixue Ice Cream shop opened. Zhao Lanzhi's move was quite obvious; she was targeting the lemon iced water shop.

Ever since reading the Crown Princess's letter, Zhao Lanzhi has been tossing and turning, unable to sleep at night, as if she herself was the one being targeted, not Li Youran.

Fortunately, the Crown Princess provided a considerable amount of money, so Zhao Lanzhi generously opened numerous shops in one go.

"I never expected that in just half a month after I left Beijing, I would suddenly open two beverage shops in the city."

When Li Youran and Tang Lei's group entered Beijing, it was around noon, and they saw long queues forming on both sides of the street.

Li Youran looked at the two beverage stalls with great curiosity, as there were no beverage stalls in the capital before she left.

She figured someone must have copied her beverage window, but she couldn't blame anyone else; after all, it was a business opportunity and everyone had the right to open a shop.

However, Li Youran found it very strange that the two stores, Lemon Ice Water and Mixue Ice Cream, seemed to be engaged in vicious competition.

You sell it for five coins a cup, I sell it for four coins a cup. Li Youran shook his head and smiled wryly, thinking that if the owners of these two shops knew each other, or if they were owned by the same person, this kind of tactic would be quite interesting.

However, if they are strangers and it's just a business competition, it's hard to say what will happen. After all, if they keep fighting like this, they will definitely both suffer losses.

“You Ran, there are too many people and too many eyes in the capital. I will take A Jiu and Bai Niangzi to the secret base to avoid being watched by others.”

Just as Li Youran was looking around at the two shops, Tang Lei said to her.

Li Youran nodded as she recalled what had happened before.

After all, they had gone to great lengths to bring Ah Jiu and his family from afar. If they couldn't properly protect the witnesses and evidence, not only would their efforts be in vain, but they would also alert the enemy.

"Give me a glass of freshly squeezed watermelon juice."

As Li Youran spoke, she took out five coins from her purse. Looking up, she was surprised to see that the person selling things was none other than Xiao Hong.

"Xiao Hong, why aren't you working at the hot pot restaurant? Why are you working here instead?"
