"Esteemed empress dowager, why don't you just listen to her? There hasn't been much commotion in our palace in recent years, so holding a banquet to liven things up might be a good thing!"
"It's nothing much, but how can we treat that girl Ning'er? "You also know that even Zhan can't do anything about her."
That's right, if you want to apologize to Dongfang Ning, then she'll have to give you a chance. Dongfang Ning's character is straightforward, so it's meaningless for her to not apologize.
"Esteemed empress dowager, this servant has an idea. Didn't Princess Qimeng come to the capital in a few days' time? At that time, the banquet will be held to welcome her in. The empress dowager will definitely come."
"Then let's do it, it's settled!"
Song mama walked out happily. That's great! That bag of silver can finally be secured!
Duwei Restaurant
Today, a special guest had come to the Duwei Restaurant. He did not leave after finishing his meal, but instead sat at a table facing the large door and stared tightly at the outside, as if he was waiting for someone.
If he had only done this for the entire morning, there was nothing special about it. The problem was that from the morning until night, he did not even have the intention to leave, which made it impossible for him to not attract the attention of the Duwei Restaurant.
"What is that customer doing? He's been sitting there for an entire day and hasn't moved at all. Who is he waiting for?"
"Do your job well, why are you asking so many questions about the affairs of the customers? In these few years, there have been many guests at Duwei Restaurant, speak less and do more work!"
"Yes sir!"
The waiter didn't dare say anything more after being scolded. The Duwei Restaurant within the Dongfang City was something that ordinary people couldn't afford, even though it was only the first floor, because of the large number of people here, the consumption standards for the first floor had increased as well. It wasn't a place that the poor could come to.
However, no matter how he looked at it, this customer didn't seem like a rich person. He was skinny, wearing a set of green coarse clothes that looked like they were worn on a bamboo pole, and he just sat there quietly. The tea was provided free of charge, so he also had some tea in front of him …
Shopkeeper Fang sat behind the counter and quietly observed the customer. He was handsome and didn't look like a bad person. He was about twenty-five years old …
"Is he in trouble?"
"Little Zheng, send someone to the door to see if there is anyone suspicious!"
In the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, their men had already found the information:
"There are a few people outside who seem to be after this customer. Shopkeeper, do we care?"
All these years, those who were chased or in danger would choose to take refuge in the Duwei Restaurant. Those who had money would rent a room to stay in, and those without money would be like this guest.
The shopkeeper thought, this person looked like an outsider, but he seemed to be very familiar with Duwei Restaurant, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen this place as his refuge.
"Find out the origin of the people who want to make trouble for him!"
"He's an assassin!"
Before the two of them could guess what was going on, the customer spoke up. It was already past dinner time and there was less than half of the customers. As a result, his words were easily heard by the two of them:
"Shopkeeper, come here!"
Fang Peng straightened his clothes and walked towards that person. "What instructions do you have for me?"
"I wish to meet with you, Manager Liu. May I present you?"
Someone who could call out Manager Liu the moment he opened his mouth was no stranger, at most people would say: Introduce the boss instead of using the word manager, not to mention Liu Sisi is an instructor in the outside world and a famous trainer in the workplace, it would even cost money to ask her to chat. Who would have thought that she had already become the head of Duwei Restaurant?
"Dear guest, please go upstairs!"
The shopkeeper immediately made up his mind. It didn't matter if this person was a good or bad person, an enemy or friend. He would first protect him before making any plans.
Who knew that when he reached the second floor, the customer had a request. This request shocked the shopkeeper.
"I want to see the emperor. May I trouble you to notify him?"
To see the Emperor ~
Didn't you just say that you only needed to see Manager Liu?
"Little people... Little People... "Please rest here. This lowly one will go get Steward Liu right away!"
The shopkeeper came out and hurriedly wiped off his cold sweat. Luckily, they hadn't looked down on this person and offended him. How could small characters like him approach this core?
"Someone, quickly go find Steward Liu. Tell us your esteemed guest …"
"Capture those assassins outside the door!"
After confirming that the guest was not ordinary, his tail would naturally have to be dealt with as well.
Liu Sisi very quickly appeared on the third floor of Duwei Restaurant. It was just that she did not recognize this person. She silently looked at this man who looked like he had fallen into despair, and thought to herself: Could it be that Master's troubles have come knocking on my door?
Ji Quan also stared at the girl. He did not know Liu Sisi and knew that Liu Sisi was mentioned by the Imperial Advisor.
"You ~"
"You ~"
"Honored guest, the guest is our guest. Tell me first!"
"You don't recognize me, and I don't recognize you either. However, I recognize Dongfang Ning, and her Duwei Restaurant is hers."
Ji Quan explained the main point first, so that others wouldn't think that he was lying.
And there were only a few people in the world who knew that Dongfang Ning was the boss of Duwei Restaurant, so Liu Sisi naturally did not doubt his words.
"I see. You want to see Master, but she doesn't recognize you anymore. Is this the case? How do you want me to help you?"
One of them was more direct than the other.
"Miss Liu is really a smart person. You can see the worry in my heart at a glance. I hope that Miss Liu can help me deliver a letter to the emperor. Tell him that Ji Quan has requested an audience."

"Since it's a family, this guest will stay here. Later on, I will have the servants bring clothes and food here. Those tails that were following you have already been taken by our brothers. You don't have to worry, just live in peace!"
"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Liu. I will remember this in my heart. It will definitely repay you in the future ~"
"Hehe, we are family, so don't bother with formalities. Don't you understand Ning'er's rules? I'll go find the emperor first. You can take a rest. If you have anything to say, go ask someone outside to do it …
When she heard him say that his name was Ji Quan, she knew who he was. The original master of Heaven's End City, the one personally appointed by Dongfang Ning, was ousted from the city by Yan Wuzhan three years ago.
That was why he came to find Duwei Restaurant. Of course, she had to tell Dongfang Ning about this first.
Dongfang Ning, who was unable to find Yan Wuzhan, was sleeping in another courtyard. Recently, she always liked to sleep, so after hearing Liu Sisi's words, she immediately went to the Duwei Restaurant. Her intuition told her that this person was very important to her.
"You don't need to call Yan Wuzhan, I'll call him."
Dongfang Ning asked Intelligent Brain to send a message to Yan Wuzhan. She was afraid that Yan Wuzhan would annoy her after the incident yesterday, so she went back to the courtyard early and closed the door for Yan Wuzhan. Today, she didn't know if he would lose his temper or not …
