Chapter 153 Restaurant Opening
Yichen said, "No, I've been in the clinic these days. When I taught those children before, I mostly taught them medical skills and didn't let them come into contact with poisons. But now I realize they should know about poisons."
Ji Yunshu understood. Before, he hoped that the children would learn medical skills and save the world, but this time, someone came to cause trouble and made him realize that no matter how many people he saved, he could not save the reputation of the clinic from being poisoned to death by one person.
If he hadn't happened to know how to detoxify this time, and that person had died of poisoning in the clinic, and someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes, it would be hard to say whether the clinic could continue to operate.
Ji Yunshu had no objection to his decision. The capital was a place of right and wrong. Compared to saving others, protecting oneself was equally important.
Naturally, the more people in the clinic know, the better.
She smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Taoist priest."
Yichen said, "This is just a piece of cake. I've taught them enough these days. I'll be back at the manor after today."
For him, it is safer in Zhuangzi.
Ji Yunshu nodded in agreement and added, "I've noticed the weather this winter is unusual, appearing to be colder than usual. It snowed in Suzhou a while ago. If possible, could you please write a few prescriptions for common colds and fevers, preferably ones that can be made into pills."
Yichen said: "Of course it's possible, but the medicinal materials..."
Their clinic is short of medicinal materials, and these days they even prescribe prescriptions for patients to go other places to get medicine.
Ji Yunshu said, "The issue of the medicinal herbs has been resolved. It won't be long before the Suzhou Jin family will deliver the herbs. Under normal circumstances, there will be no shortage in the future."
Yichen was relieved then. Writing a prescription was not a difficult task for him.
While he was talking, he heard footsteps outside.
Ji Yunshu looked up and saw the emperor walking in, with Zhao Shen following behind him.
So he stepped forward with Yichen and saluted.
The emperor waved his hand and said, "No need to be so polite outside."
He sat down in the main seat and said to the others, "Please sit down. Don't be shy. I'm here to seek medical advice today."
Since he was so direct, Zhao Shen didn't hesitate and pulled Ji Yunshu to sit aside.
Yichen stepped forward to take the emperor's pulse.
After a moment, he released the emperor's wrist and said, "It is indeed the poison of the spice of the snow sunflower."
Although he had felt it was almost certain before, after hearing Yichen's words, Ji Yunshu still asked anxiously: "Is it serious? How do I solve it?"
Yichen said, "Your Majesty didn't smell much, and the poisoning is mild, not serious. He will be fine after drinking two doses of detoxification powder. It will be harmful to his body, but after the detoxification, he will recover with proper care. It won't be a big problem."
Ji Yunshu: The emperor was poisoned, and you said it wasn’t a big problem.
When the emperor heard that he was indeed poisoned, his face darkened, but he remained optimistic: "As long as there is an antidote, I'll trouble you, Taoist priest, to prescribe a prescription."
Zhao Shen called in pen and ink, Yichen picked up the pen and wrote the prescription, then left.
Ji Yunshu remembered that he was going back to the manor and felt a little worried, so he asked someone to escort him.
When I got back, the private room was quiet and the atmosphere was not very good.
Zhao Shen looked at the emperor disapprovingly, but said nothing.
The silence made Ji Yunshu feel depressed. She couldn't help but say, "Since we've already seen the doctor and have the antidote, why don't we go back to our own homes?"
The emperor said angrily, "You invited me to your restaurant to open and maintain order, but you didn't even let me have a bite of the food?"
Seeing that he seemed a little angry, Ji Yunshu shrank his neck and said, "You are so precious, how dare I give you food?"
The food the emperor eats has to go through several inspection procedures before it can be eaten.
Even so, if something she eats is not suitable, it is still her fault.
Therefore, Ji Yunshu hoped that the emperor would just be a mascot that brought wealth and fortune, and it would be best if he didn't even drink a sip of tea.
The emperor knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her expression. She almost made him laugh: "Are you afraid that if I eat something, it will cause trouble for you?"
Ji Yunshu quickly said, "Things out there are bound to be dirty. I'm doing this for your health."
The emperor deliberately said: "Others can eat it, so can I. Hurry up and serve me the food."
It was the first time that Ji Yunshu saw the emperor being so willful, and she felt a little tired.
He had no choice but to ask the eunuch who served the emperor personally about his dietary restrictions, and then go to the kitchen to explain them himself.
Zhao Shen watched Ji Yunshu busying around and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't we agree to just take a look around and leave? Why are you teasing her?"
The emperor took a sip of tea and said, "Why don't you say that she was the one who got angry with me first? Speaking of which, how do you get along with her on a daily basis, since you have such a boring personality?"
In his eyes, Zhao Shen is a person who looks gentle and elegant, but is actually old-fashioned and boring in his words and deeds, and is a bit cold and ruthless behind the scenes.
So it was actually hard for him to imagine what it would be like for such a person to be with a lively little girl.
Zhao Shen said with a dark face, "Your Majesty, there's no need to know about the affairs between us as husband and wife."
The emperor also felt that his question was too personal. He coughed awkwardly and said, "It's not easy for me to come out. What's wrong with having a meal? Doesn't your restaurant use my imperial chef as its name? Wouldn't it be better if I ate there myself?"
Seeing that Zhao Shen still looked disapproving, he had no choice but to say, "Alright, I understand what you mean, but if I can't even trust you and Yun Shu, who else in this world can I trust? How tiring would my life be then?"
Zhao Shen's heart softened a little at his words, but he still said, "Of course, Ah Shu and I won't do anything bad to you, but there are many people in the restaurant, and someone might take advantage of the opportunity to attack you. You'd better be cautious."
The emperor nodded without comment, and it was unclear whether he had heard it or not.
When Ji Yunshu came in again, the atmosphere between the two had eased a lot.
Ji Yunshu led people to serve the dishes, and it was obvious that they were very careful. They were all dishes that were common in the palace and there was nothing wrong with them.
The emperor was not picky and just ate a few bites before leaving.
Zhao Shen personally sent the person back to the palace before returning to the restaurant.
They arrived early, and the restaurant had not yet officially opened.
However, Ji Yunshu deliberately made a big noise, and someone recognized the emperor, and the news spread soon.
At this moment, more and more people came to the restaurant.
When Zhao Shen came back, Ji Yunshu was still sitting in the private room looking outside.
He also took a look outside and said with a smile: "From the looks of it, the restaurant's business should be good in the future."
Ji Yunshu nodded: "With the emperor as a backer, naturally everyone has to give him some face."
Seeing that she was still looking outside with a dull expression, Zhao Shen walked up to her, looked her over carefully, and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "I'm not unhappy. I just got up early today and am a little tired. What happened between you and the Emperor just now? I saw that you two didn't seem to be on good terms."
Zhao Shen frowned and said, "The Emperor has a suspect in the person who poisoned him. He wants to risk his own life to lure that person out. I don't agree with that."
As he spoke, he sat behind Ji Yunshu, rubbing her shoulders and back, saying, "Rest if you're tired. Leave things to the servants. Why would you ask them to do anything if you have to do everything yourself? You don't have to worry about the emperor's affairs. He knows what's in his control."
