"Yes, in addition to these, there is one more thing to tell Concubine Su."

"What?"

"The truth about the epidemic in Laifuku has spread to Kyoto. The people started a crusade against the crown prince and blocked the gate of the palace to ask for an explanation. ”

"Didn't the royal family respond?

Yi Huan: "At first, the emperor wanted to send people out to suppress it, but the more force was used, the easier it was to arouse the anger of the masses, and in desperation, he could only order the palace gate to be closed and let everyone pretend to be dead." ”

"Heh, that's a lot like his usual style."

"Yes, the emperor is mediocre, and the crown prince is not a good thing, and now the two of them have no prestige in the hearts of the people of Daliang."

"Water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, according to the current situation, as long as Tianhui is willing to issue an edict, he can subvert the imperial power at any time, but unfortunately he has never disdained the throne."

Yi Huan sighed: "Su Ye is a real hero. ”

"Well, did the emperor say when he would be released from the prison?" The truth has been revealed, and there is no reason for anyone to detain Xiaoyao Su again.

"No, he seems to have forgotten the existence of Su Ye, and he didn't mention it from beginning to end."

Su Qingyan's fingers clenched the futon, "It's okay, it won't be long before I will let him and the prince personally greet Su Ye at the gate of the prison!" ”

"Yes, I believe in Concubine Su."

The two were talking, and suddenly there was a commotion outside.

"What's going on out there?"

"I don't know, I'll take a look." Yi Huan got up and walked out of the tent, and after a while, he walked in with a smile, followed by Pei Yi'an.

"Sister Qingyan!" Pei Yi'an threw himself on the side of the bed, his bright eyes filled with tears, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

Su Qingyan raised his hand weakly and touched his hair, "It's not too late, this trip to Beili, have you done everything that needs to be done?" ”

"Yes, the prescription for the plague has been retrieved, and I have given it to the doctor in the camp."

"That's good, what's the situation in the royal house?"

Yi Huan: "Yi'an, I have already told Concubine Su about your and me's identities, including the disputes in the royal family in Beili, so you don't have to hide anything if you have anything to say."

Pei Yi'an seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and said truthfully: "Several brothers are fighting to the death, and the courtiers are fleeing to death, and there is chaos everywhere." ”

"Then you went back this time and they didn't find out, right?"

"No, the guards protected me very well, and took me away after getting the plague recipe."

Yi Huan breathed a sigh of relief, "In this way, I can rest assured, you used to be the little prince who was the most favored by your father, and he also confessed in front of many courtiers that he planned to make you the prince, and the other princes have already regarded you as a thorn in their side, if you see it, you have to cut it with a thousand knives to feel at ease." ”

"The royal brothers hold a grudge against me, and I know in my heart that sooner or later one day I will recapture Beili, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and they will no longer suffer from war."

"Ambitious!" Su Qingyan praised, "A manly husband should be like this, you are still young now, you can learn more about the art of war and strategy, and when you grow up, you can return to your homeland and realize your ambitions." ”

"Sister Qingyan, do you really support me in my bid for the throne?"

"Of course, as long as you make a choice, you have to move forward desperately, so that you can live up to yourself." Pei Yi'an burst into tears and laughed, and grabbed her arm coquettishly, "I know that Sister Qingyan loves me the most." "Okay, Concubine Su is still weak and can't say too much, you can follow the guards back to the house first." Yi Huan said.

"Well, I listen to my sister."

Seeing off Pei Yi'an, Yi Huan returned to the tent, "Concubine Su, you saved the lives of our sister and brother, if one day you can really revive Beili, you are our greatest benefactor." ”

"I can't talk about benefactors, I just think you shouldn't be in a foreign country, and you can't go back to your home."

Yi Huan's eyes reddened, "At the beginning, everyone admired me as a princess from birth, but the palace wall is like a cage to me, if I have a choice, I would rather be reincarnated as an ordinary person, at least I can live a little more comfortably." ”

"Whether it is the princess or the people, they all have their own difficulties, that's all, don't talk about these, my illness is not a big deal for the time being, let's go back to Kyoto later."

The sick in the camp have been treated, and it's time for the city to return to normalcy.

Afternoon.

Yi Huan and Su Qingyan returned to the capital in a carriage together, thinking that Yin Xiuxiu was still distributing rations here, but they didn't expect that even the pot stove was overturned.

"Strange, could it be that something big happened in the two days I'm away?"

"Concubine Su doesn't know? The prince knew that Yin Xiuxiu came out to give porridge to help the people, and he was so angry that he almost wiped her neck with a knife, and now she is making a lot of trouble, how can she still have time to come out and behave. ”

Su Qingyan sneered, "The prince used vicious means to frame Su Ye, and completely disregarded the safety of so many people in Laifu Town, at this time, his concubine came out to be a good person, what is the difference between Yin Xiuxiu's move and hitting him in the face." ”

"It's this reason, I guess that the idiot should have had a hard time in the prince's mansion recently."

"This is what she deserves."

About two days later, some shops in the city had already opened their doors, and Su Qingyan saw that it was almost time, and also ordered the Chamber of Commerce to officially open its doors to welcome customers.

"Concubine Su, now the seafood restaurant and Nanping Building have been opened, but the market is still sparsely populated, and I finally saw a few people coming out, all of them went to the pharmacy to buy mugwort leaves, how can this be good." Sun Yecai was so anxious that he spun around.

"We are not the only ones who are anxious, you look at the shops all over the city, who is not a crowd?" Su Qingyan took a sip of tea and said, "The epidemic this time is too serious, and it has left a psychological shadow on many people, so in the short term, there will be no signs of improvement in the business of shops, especially restaurants and restaurants." ”

"So what to do? Do you just sit back and wait? ”

"Of course not, we have to learn to find another way to do everything, and since the diners don't want to go out, then we will deliver the prepared food in person. Wouldn't that save a lot of trouble? ”

Sun Yecai was stunned, "What does Concubine Su mean by this?" Please also be explicit. ”

"The reason is very simple, just like the medicinal food workshop sends pastries to the powerful, put the food in the food box, send it to the other party's mansion while it is hot, and then pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

"The pastries are easy to carry, but we are a restaurant, will the food spill out when it is placed in the food box?"

"Just be careful when you send it."

"This ......" Sun Yecai has never heard of such a novel business model, and he has not reacted yet.

Su Qingyan: "Boss Sun, didn't I develop a lot of dishes from the North and the Western Regions before?" It was still very popular before the outbreak of the pandemic, so you can ask the cook to make dozens of servings in a while, knock on the door of the house, and give it to diners for free. ”

"Free tasting? Isn't that a loss? ”

"If you want to open the market, you must have investment, lose first and then earn, this truth should not need me to teach Boss Sun."

"Yes, I understand what Concubine Su meant."

"In addition to being free, I have to let the little two who deliver the food explain it carefully, and say that no matter what they want to eat, they can send someone to the restaurant to let them know, and the chef will do it and deliver it to the door while it is hot, and the taste will definitely not be affected in any way."

Sun Yecai clapped his hands excitedly, "Concubine Su is simply a genius, she can even think of this method!" ”

"It's all forced by the situation, if we don't change the way we do business, I'm afraid we're really going to close down."
