Three days passed, and Mrs. Chu's condition still did not improve.
The rumors in the palace were even worse.
In fact, when Ying Zheng asked Fusu to come back quickly that day, the King of Zhao already had a guess.
But there was nothing she could do, she couldn't change anything.
The atmosphere in the palace has been heavy these days, and there is no news about the person who poisoned the person.
The imperial physician tried all kinds of prescriptions, but still didn't know what poison Mrs. Chu had been poisoned by.
A few days later, Fusu came back.
On the day he received the news, he rode his horse at full speed and now he has finally returned to the palace.
Zhao Jun also heard the news outside.
But she just stayed in the palace and did her own thing, and did not talk to Fusu.
As a son, he should be guarding his mother at this moment.
Zhao Jun sat in a recliner under a tree to enjoy the cool air.
The candles in Chu's palace in the harem were lit all night long.
Many people in the palace were waiting for the news that the person had completely died.
Fusu had rushed back and saw her son for the last time. She probably couldn't hold on for much longer.
Beneath the calm water, someone couldn't help but smile.
Zhao Jun didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the harem, so he went to the Nei Shi Mansion and the workshop every day.
"Sir, the advice you gave me last time was really useful."
Xiao He has been in a particularly good mood these days.
It’s just because Liu Ji has finally stopped staying at home and causing trouble.
"Yeah, what business is he doing recently?"
If Xiao He hadn't mentioned it, King Zhao would have almost forgotten about it.
"I happened to be working in the workshop when I saw the big businessman coming in all day to pick up his supplies. I thought of asking him to buy some paper to sell as well."
"There are quite a few shops selling paper in Xianyang now, so I just let him carry the paper on his shoulder and sell it from street to street, just to pass the time."
"But rest assured, sir, I have not abused my power for personal gain, and all the papers I have received have passed through the hands of Master Qingliu."
Xiao He quickly added.
"I understand. You certainly wouldn't do such a thing."
Zhao Jun smiled and said that she still had great trust in Xiao He's character.
"I originally planned to have him copy some books to sell, but Qin Wen is so obscure that we can't even begin to write."
After this period of time, Xiao He had basically no problems communicating in Xianyang, and he could still understand what everyone was saying.
However, the Qin language was different from what he had learned, and he still couldn't write it.
Zhao Jun also thought it made sense. She thought that she had almost burned her brain just from learning from Qin Wen.
Even now her Qinwen writing is still halting.
At this point she remembered again.
At this time, Ying Zheng had not yet unified the six kingdoms, so the characters learned by each country were still very different.
Only after Ying Zheng completely unified the six kingdoms would he unify the writing system.
At that time, people from other vassal states will have to learn Qin language again.
Come to think of it, she was one of the first ones to start learning.
"Sir, it's almost noon now. When will you return to the palace? I'll call the carriage outside."
Qingliu, who had just finished his work, asked Zhao Jun who was sitting there.
She looked at the sun hanging high in the sky and smacked her lips.
"I'm not going back to the palace for lunch today. Let's eat outside."
"Come to think of it, we haven't been to Xianyang Xiaozhu for a long time. I wonder if the food there has improved. Let's go try it at noon."
She said as she stood up to leave.
The atmosphere in the palace has not been very good these days, and the servants have also been very cautious in doing things.
Zhao Jun didn't want to go back, it would be so comfortable to go out to a restaurant.
Qingliu certainly had no objection to her words.
"Okay, I'd better call a carriage to take us there. The sun is a bit strong outside, and it's too hot to walk there."
Qingliu said and walked out first.
Xiao He stood up and bowed, preparing to slowly see them off.
Zhao Jun turned and looked at him in confusion.
"What are you standing there for? Come on, let's go together."
"Can I go too?" Xiao He was stunned.
"What are you talking about? You're not eating lunch. Let's go."
Zhao Jun chuckled and waved his hand, and Xiao He quickly followed.
It had been several months since Zhao Jun came back to Xianyang Xiaozhu, and he almost didn't recognize it.
"I haven't been here for a few months. How come this place looks so beautiful?"
It wasn't that she was surprised. When she came here before, this was just an ordinary shop, with at most a small two-story wooden building.
There are separate compartments, so privacy is good after all.
But now.
It's completely changed here.
It seems that the house next door has also been renovated and its area is twice as large as before.
A plaque was specially made at the door, and it was engraved with cinnabar.
Overall, it looks more upscale than before.
And there seemed to be a lot more guests at the door than before.
"I heard that this little house almost went bankrupt because there were so many new food shops opening in Xianyang that there was almost no one here. Then it seemed like it was closed for a while, and when it reopened it became like this."
Qingliu, who often traveled to and from Xianyang City, heard about this incident.
"Then I understand. This place is now taking the high-end route."
I didn’t expect that the businessmen here have already learned the modern business methods.
Who dares to say that the ancients were not smart?
As the three of them talked, they walked into the restaurant lobby.
"There are only three of us this time, so let's not sit in the private room upstairs. Don't waste it."
At noon, there were quite a few guests in the cottage, but the hall was large and there were still seats available.
After ordering the dishes, Zhao Jun sat there and observed the people around him.
