Chapter 1360 - 1367: Situ Changge’s Impulsiveness (6)
Two little palace maids, upon seeing her ghastly wound, couldn’t help but change their expression, displaying a look of fright. Only Huan Qiu, as if accustomed to such sights, coldly took the ointment, applied it to her wound, and then wrapped the injured area with white gauze to prevent it from being rubbed off by clothes.
After wrapping it up, Ning Huaixiu anxiously said: "Sister Huan Qiu, is what you said true? Not only does the Empress Dowager not blame me, but she also wants to make use of me extensively?"
Huan Qiu coldly responded: "Why would I deceive you? If you show some spirit, then quickly recuperate, so you can relieve the Empress’s worries and contribute at the earliest!"
Ning Huaixiu, with tears, said: "Please rest assured, sister, Huaixiu will definitely recover swiftly and serve the Empress Dowager earnestly!"
...
At this moment, the Empress Dowager was in a newly opened hotpot restaurant on Sishui Street outside the palace, clinking glasses and making merry with a group of friends.
This hotpot restaurant is the very one that Cai Wei and Xiang Yun had opened together. After nearly two months of preparation and planning by Liu Xi, it finally celebrated its grand opening on December 12th.
The scale of this hotpot restaurant was immense, four times the size of Bafu Barbecue Restaurant, decorated with modern elements, floor-to-ceiling windows, leather sofas, graffiti paintings framed in glass, and a row of branching crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, opulent and high-profile, making the diners feel as if they were in heaven, truly getting their money’s worth.
