Du Anlan, Qi Nanling and others followed closely.
When Si Jinxing walked up the stairs to the second floor, she saw that the aisle between the two rows of seats on the first floor was crowded with people.
A man who called himself Zhang was shouting angrily:
"My two brothers came to Jianzhou from Tongzhou City to do business. When we saw a store opening on such a busy street, we decided to join in the fun. Who would have thought that it was actually a shady shop?
Under the feet of the emperor, there are such evil and treacherous merchants as you. You must have used inferior ingredients that are simply inedible!"
When this person started shouting, and saw the person on the ground foaming at the mouth and twitching all over, he was immediately frightened and panicked. Many members even shouted for a refund of their money and membership cards!
Fang Si and Pei Qingzhu exchanged a glance, waved their hands, and signaled everyone to calm down, saying:
"Everyone, you all know that today is the first day of our store's opening. How could we possibly use inferior ingredients to damage our reputation?
I have sent for the doctor, please wait a moment, little brother."
But the man didn't listen at all, and just kept shouting that this store was a black shop and the owner was a profiteer.
Si Jinxing went downstairs, and Pei Qingzhu came over and whispered, "Boss, I'm afraid this guy is looking for trouble."
Yes, if he was really poisoned or ate something unclean, as an older brother, shouldn’t the safety of his younger brother be his biggest concern?
Instead of just inciting diners in the restaurant to return their money, I'm afraid they are taking this opportunity to ruin the reputation of Yaxu Lao and force Yaxu Lao to close down?
"Axing, what do you need us to do?" Qi Nanling and Lei Qianyin held Si Jinxing's hands, their faces full of worry.
Crown Princess Du Anlan reminded:
"I'm afraid someone is targeting you regarding today's incident. This matter must be handled properly."
Si Jinxing nodded. She glanced at the crowd coldly, and the diners stepped back, making way and exposing the person who fell to the ground.
She took two steps forward and squatted beside the man who was foaming at the mouth. She said nothing, but a chill emanated from her body, and everyone around her shut up.
Si Jinxing lifted the man's eyelids and saw that his pupils had shrunk like needles, his consciousness was blurred, and he was having difficulty breathing.
Her face darkened. This person was indeed poisoned.
Si Jinxing glanced at everyone in the hall and said loudly:
"This man was indeed poisoned, but it wasn't from eating anything from my house. I'd like everyone to be a witness. In an hour, I'll have him personally explain how he became poisoned."
When everyone heard this, they thought it was obvious that the man was dying, so how could he still stand up and speak?
When the man who claimed to be his brother heard this, his expression changed and his eyes rolled around. While no one was paying attention to him, he slipped into the crowd and ran away.
Qing Chan quickly ran out the door and asked Bai Xi to catch up in the dark.
The poisoned man was carried to the backyard room by the shop assistant, and everyone in the hall was talking about it.
"Could it be that Yaxu Lao really used something unclean?"
"Tell me, is there something slightly poisonous in this soup? Otherwise, why is it so delicious?"
"I don't dare eat it even though it's delicious! My life is more important!"
After entering the wing, Si Jinxing immediately took the man to the operating room on the third floor of Xinglin Yaxu Hospital and performed repeated gastric lavage on him to prevent further absorption of the poison.
Just after the gastric lavage was completed, the man's heart suddenly stopped beating again. Si Jinxing immediately performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on him and put him on a ventilator.
After his vital signs stabilized, Si Jinxing immediately performed a blood cholinesterase activity test and then gave him an intravenous injection of pralidoxime chloride and atropine.
The combination of these two detoxification drugs can achieve the detoxification effect faster, and consciousness can usually be restored within 20 to 30 minutes.
Si Jinxing took him out of Xinglin Yaxu and placed him on the bed in the side room. He also gave him an IV drip of glucose saline to promote urination and detoxification.
The diners at Yaxu Lao never expected that something like this would happen just for a meal. They were all unhappy and wanted to return their cards and leave, but were rejected by the shopkeeper Fang with a smile.
They said that the restaurant wanted to prove its innocence, and that when the owner came out later, it would still be time for everyone to leave. They also made it clear that there would be no charge for today's meal, and it would be like inviting everyone to watch a show.
The poisoned man woke up in a daze, feeling indescribable discomfort all over his body. He felt as if he was in a strange place.
He turned his head slightly and saw a woman staring at him intently. He subconsciously asked:
"Miss, may I ask where this is?"
As soon as he spoke, he realized that his voice was very hoarse and his throat was extremely sore.
Seeing that he woke up, Si Jinxing breathed a sigh of relief and said expressionlessly:
"You ate at my restaurant and someone poisoned you. They said you died from eating my hot pot. This is my backyard wing."
When the man heard this, he shook his head vigorously and said:
"If I get poisoned after eating hot pot, will the person I ate with be okay?"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing's eyes darkened slightly and she asked, "Isn't that man your brother?"
An hour was neither long nor short, and the diners in the hall were very bored just sitting there.
Pei Qingzhu asked someone to go to the teahouse to invite a storyteller, and also served some fruits, candied fruits, melon seeds and peanuts to each table for everyone to pass the time.
He trusted Si Jinxing the most. That little girl never did anything without being sure!
After the storyteller finished the fifth story, Si Jinxing brought the man who claimed to be Liu Kai back to the hall.
All the guests stood up and looked in astonishment at the pale-faced man who was being carried out by two waiters.
Isn’t that the man who was foaming at the mouth and lying on the ground just now?
"This man was really saved by that little girl?"
"What little girl? She's the owner of this shop!"
"Oh my God! I just felt that man's breath, and it was clearly only inhaling, not exhaling. He was about to die!"
"This is truly a miracle cure! I wonder which family in the capital this woman is from?"
Several people were whispering and talking, all of them were extremely curious about the stunning woman with a cold face.
"She is the Ninth Prince's future consort, the Princess of Anping County personally appointed by the Emperor!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all tried to recall whether they had been disrespectful to the Ninth Princess just now.
The person who said this was none other than the Prince of Honghui, Li Qingyang, who had stopped Si Jinxing's carriage a few days ago.
He has been drinking to drown his sorrows lately. Today, he was called by some classmates to have dinner together, and he unexpectedly met her.
Little did I know that she could handle such a difficult situation so calmly.
It is not what Wan'er said: Si Jinxing is arrogant and domineering!
In the innermost private room on the second floor, the window lattice was opened and several people looked downstairs.
"Brother, are we sure we don't want to help?"
"No, don't think that just because you saved her, she's weak. Ask the second brother how powerful she is.
Besides, didn’t you see those women outside? Can we walk out like this?”
