Chapter 956: Hot Pot Poisoning
The next morning, a new hot pot shop opened in every town in Dayu Kingdom.
Moreover, it is very close to Han Muchen's restaurant, either opposite or diagonally opposite, in any case it is not too far away.
And the discount is very attractive. There is a 30% discount in the first three days of opening, which is definitely attractive enough.
The weather was gradually getting cooler, which was the peak season for hot pot. For a while, all the newly opened shops were bustling with activity.
All possible seating spaces have been added, but it’s still hard to find a seat.
Seeing the silver flowing in like water, Han Mulei felt extremely proud.
“………………”
No wonder Han Muchen has so much money. If he continues to earn at this rate, I’m afraid the vault will be full.
At that time, I can be as generous as him, give some to the people symbolically, and gain a good reputation.
But Han Muchen's shop was deserted, in stark contrast to Han Mulei's shop.
Seeing that the shop was so popular, the shop assistants all stretched their necks to look.
Although I have been mentally prepared, I still feel very angry when I see the current situation.
If this continues, the shop will be bankrupt.
The news quickly reached the palace, and the queen, who had gotten up early in the morning, was waiting for the news.
After hearing that the hot pot shop was a big hit, I was so happy that I couldn't stop smiling.
"Good, very good, my son really didn't disappoint me!"
Finally, I felt proud of myself. I wonder if that vixen is still showing off in front of me.
But before the smile on his lips could fully bloom, he felt dizzy and then he couldn't see clearly.
Seeing that the Empress was about to fall, Nanny Zhang and the palace maids were shocked.
"Empress!"
Fortunately, someone caught the queen before she fell to the ground.
"Call the imperial physician quickly!" Nanny Zhang hurriedly ordered the palace maid.
Looking at the queen with her eyes closed, his brows furrowed. The young lady had always been in good health, so why did she suddenly faint?
The news soon reached Concubine Jing's courtyard. For the sake of face, the emperor came with Concubine Jing.
"How is the Queen?"
The emperor frowned and pointed at the queen whose eyes were closed. His face was gloomy, as if he was about to die.
"Your Majesty, the Queen must have been poisoned!"
"Poisoned?" The emperor looked shocked.
Even Concubine Jing beside her was surprised that there was someone who wanted the Queen to die more than she did.
"Indeed, Your Majesty has been poisoned and her internal organs have been damaged. However, I have already written a prescription and sent someone to prepare the medicine."
"Do you know what kind of poison it is?" The emperor looked at the imperial physician in front of him with a serious face.
He was obviously angry. Although he disliked the queen, he thought that poisoning her so blatantly was a sign of how little he thought of his palace.
"Your Majesty, I have only detected poison in the hot pot that the Queen ate, but I don't know what kind of poison it is."
As the imperial physician spoke, he pointed to the hot pot soup brought back by the palace maid. It had been tested just now and was found to be poisonous.
The specific type of poison is still unknown, but the emperor was stunned when he heard it.
"Are you saying this hot pot is poisonous?"
As he spoke, he pointed at the hot pot soup in horror and swallowed uncontrollably.
I remember that I had eaten a piece of meat before. I don’t know if I have been poisoned now. I seem to be feeling unwell.
Even Concubine Jing was frightened. When she heard that the hot pot was poisonous, she looked at the emperor with a worried look.
"Your Majesty, do you feel unwell?"
She didn't know how serious the poison was, because she had seen with her own eyes that old man had eaten the hot pot meat.
After saying that, he looked at the doctor in front of him.
"Doctor Zhang, please quickly check the emperor's health to see if there is anything unusual."
"Um... yes." Doctor Zhang was stunned.
I don’t know why Concubine Jing said that, but she still stood up obediently and took the emperor’s pulse.
Under the nervous gaze of the Emperor and Concubine Jing, Doctor Zhang withdrew his hand.
"Your Majesty, you are fine. You can rest assured."
Although I don't know why the emperor is so nervous, at least everything seems to be fine now.
After hearing what he said, the emperor looked at Xiaohua beside him and felt relieved.
But Concubine Jing was not reassured and looked at Doctor Zhang nervously.
"The Emperor also ate that hot pot meat before, so you should prescribe some medicine for him to heal his body!"
Although the emperor seems to be fine now, I am still worried and want him to take two doses of medicine to feel at ease.
This time, Doctor Zhang understood and quickly agreed.
"I obey your command."
When the emperor and Concubine Jing came out of the queen's palace, they both looked puzzled.
I don’t know who would poison the queen, and who would be so powerful.
This doubt only lasted for one night and was resolved the next day.
The next morning, as soon as the emperor arrived at the court as usual, General Cheng couldn't wait to tell him what happened last night.
"Your Majesty, something has happened. Everyone who dined at the Second Prince's Hot Pot restaurant yesterday has experienced abdominal pain and diarrhea, and some have even fainted."
General Cheng told Han Mulei everything about the poisoning he suffered at his hotpot restaurant.
The emperor was stunned by what he heard, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"So, how many people were poisoned? How are they doing now?"
The emperor looked at General Cheng in front of him with a worried look on his face. Now he understood why the queen was poisoned.
It seems that there was something wrong with that evil creature's hot pot. Fortunately, I only ate a piece of meat yesterday, otherwise I wouldn't dare to think about it now.
"Your Majesty, there are too many people poisoned, and the hospitals in the capital are overwhelmed."
"Then go to the nearby town to find a doctor!" The emperor looked anxious.
I heard before that the evil guy's hot pot restaurant was very popular yesterday, so I guess there must be a lot of people poisoned.
"Your Majesty, there are many people poisoned in the nearby towns, and there are not enough doctors."
General Cheng frowned. If it weren't for a few good friends who came to him to see the court physician last night, he wouldn't have known that such a big thing had happened.
The second prince’s hotpot restaurants are all over the country, and they all opened on the same day. He doesn’t even dare to imagine how many people have been poisoned.
"Where is that rebellious son now?" The emperor was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head.
As he spoke, he looked around, but did not see any trace of Han Mulei.
Marquis Yongning, who had been silent all this time, now slowly took a step forward.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince knows he made a mistake and has already dealt with it."
He himself did not have the confidence to say this. When he thought about last night and saw the people lying in the clinic, his head started to throb with pain.
If it were an ordinary citizen, it would be fine. He could just spend some money and use his status to pressure them, and the matter would be over.
But there are also many children of officials among them. If something happens to them, it will be difficult for the second prince to turn things around this time.
The hot pot recipe was clearly copied from King Chen, so how could something go wrong?
Han Mulei couldn't figure this out. Looking at everyone in the clinic, he was about to collapse.
“………………”
So many people have been poisoned, what should we do?
