Jinxin Building, back entrance.
Chen Nian went to play with Saiya for a while, then made an excuse to leave.
"Princess Shen, please come upstairs. Your guest is already waiting for you in the second suite on the third floor."
It was the same handsome waiter as last time, who respectfully greeted Shen Nian as he stepped into the shop.
Shen Nian was right; this was indeed Ertai's, but now it belonged to her. Ertai had given it to her as a belated birthday gift.
Her birthday is October 12, the day after the White Lotus Rebellion.
After what happened, she had no heart to celebrate her birthday. She basically kept waking up and sleeping all day. All of Ertai's plans for that day were disrupted, and all the plans had to be put aside for the time being, to be made up for later.
Even when the emperor wanted to give her another one, she refused.
But when she returned to the palace, all her birthday gifts were sent to her without missing a single one.
As for Ertai Restaurant, it was simply because that day when they left the palace, one of the girls started drinking a little wine.
Then, taking advantage of her being slightly tipsy, Ertai half-coaxed and half-forced her to put her fingerprint on the transfer document.
However, only the two of them knew about this.
No one else knew that this store belonged to Ertai.
Oh, wait, there are two other people who know: E Ting and Fu Yuxing, who currently only exists in Ertai's words and hasn't appeared yet.
Ertai kept it a secret for so long, and no one knew. Chen Nian also knew that Ertai had concerns, so she didn't tell anyone either.
"Um."
Hearing the waiter's words, Chen Nian nodded, stepped upstairs, and went up to the third floor, where Ertai had specially prepared a second suite for himself.
Compared to the suites on the second floor that served numerous officials, the suites on the third floor that belonged exclusively to them were more exquisite and luxurious, with a more feminine and gentle style of decoration.
There were people waiting on the second floor, but the third floor was a completely private space for them, and no one would come up to disturb them.
Besides the people they brought, only four people could come up: her, Ertai, E'ting, and Fu Yuxing, who hadn't appeared yet.
Ertai was busy with palace affairs, while Eting was helping Saiya adapt to the new environment. Fu Yuxing, judging from Ertai's words, was probably still on the frontier and had not yet returned.
Therefore, she wasn't worried about others finding out about this conversation.
Jinxinlou maintains good confidentiality, otherwise it wouldn't be the case that officials of all ranks like to come here. Her main concern is that it would be difficult to explain if she ran into an acquaintance.
Reaching the door, he felt an itch in his throat. He took out the porcelain bottle he was carrying, uncorked it, poured out the last pill inside, and put it in his mouth.
Upon entering, she saw Xiao Jian already waiting for her, holding a teacup and looking down, seemingly lost in thought.
"Senior brother—"
He murmured aloud.
"Junior Sister—"
Upon hearing the voice, Xiao Jian turned his head and saw that it was Chen Nian. He then removed the veil from his head, revealing his rugged face.
...
"Ahem, did you bring the things?"
Looking at Xiao Jian sitting opposite him, Chen Nian turned to the side and coughed.
Nowadays, medicine is becoming less and less effective. It used to work for about half a month, but now it only works for a week at most. She can only ask her master to help increase the potency of the medicine.
Xiao Jian came to help deliver the medicine.
"Junior Sister, you should go back to the valley with your senior brother. We'll ask Master for help in finding a solution."
Seeing the increasingly thin and pale-faced man, Xiao Jian spoke up to offer advice.
