Chapter 75: Could it be the blessing of dragon energy?
The message that Yunshu asked Tingxue to spread yesterday was very effective.

In this era when a severe cold can become an incurable disease, the Fifth Princess's "serious illness" has become so severe that she is in a coma and has repeated fevers.
Under normal circumstances, the alternating cold and heat in the middle of winter would only make the condition worse, or if left unchecked for too long, it would leave a permanent root of the disease.

But because the palace had floor heating, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess was no longer affected by the cold after she fell ill. She stayed in a warm and comfortable environment the entire time, and she recovered from her illness in just one or two days!

It can be seen that earthworms are not just for winter enjoyment. To some extent, they can also prolong life and even save lives!

Therefore, the concubines who originally planned to lay floor heating in their own palaces became more generous.
Many of the concubines who had previously thought that winter only lasted a few months in a year and that they could just use charcoal basins to deal with it, gritted their teeth and took out money from their not-so-rich treasuries.
He installed a ground dragon in his own bedroom.

There are also some people who seem to have a decent relationship with each other, and even a few sisters put together an order to get a discount of one-tenth off for a purchase of ten-tenths.

In short, Yun Shu stayed comfortably in Fengyang Palace today without leaving, and received many orders for laying ground dragons under the guise of visiting the sick.

She had just counted before Yun Chuhuan entered the room.

In addition to the orders placed earlier by Concubine Liu and the Queen, the other concubines placed orders for a total of forty-eight rooms today.

Twenty-two thousand taels of silver, plus Concubine Liu's forty-five thousand and the Queen's fifty thousand, that's a total of three hundred and fifteen thousand taels.

According to Yun Shu's original budget, if she wanted to open a restaurant all over the world, the initial investment she would need would only be 600,000 taels.

She contributed 60% and Emperor Xuanwu contributed 40%.
In other words... the money she earned from the concubines, plus what she already had, was enough to cover this expense.

And the orders from people outside the palace, such as Prime Minister Liu, are pure profit!
Yun Shu calculated the extra money he would have in his coffers after this round of business, and immediately smiled:

"Okay, I will leave the palace in two days and personally arrange for people to go to Prime Minister Liu's mansion to lay the floor dragon!"

"Fifth sister, are you leaving the palace again?"

Hearing this news, Yun Chuhuan was so anxious that he kept scratching his head:
"But there are still several days before I have to rest in the study!

Fifth sister, can you help me ask for leave from my father? I also want to leave the palace!"

"Just wait until you have a break before going out."

Yun Shu thought he was just daydreaming:

"I want to ask for leave to go out of the palace to play. Do you think the emperor will agree?"

"But I heard that the envoy from Beixiang will arrive in the capital in the next two days."

Yun Chuhuan himself actually felt that there was little hope. He buried his head in frustration into the soft pillow that Yun Shu had specially placed on the couch, and said in a muffled voice:
"I still want to join in the fun."

"Don't the envoys from Beixiang come to the capital every year before the Wanshou Festival?"

Yun Shu was somewhat puzzled:

"What's so interesting about this?"

“These past two years have been different!”

Maybe he thought that if he could come up with a reason that could convince Yunshu, there would be hope that Yunshu would agree to help him ask for leave.

Yun Chuhuan jumped up and said indignantly:

“I heard that Beixiang has been very dishonest in the past two years!

Ziming told me that his grandfather and uncle would talk about the Beixiang delegation every day when they returned home.

Last year, the group of Beixiang people seemed to have clashed with several people in the capital.

This year, he couldn't hold back and made a test in advance with war horses and other things.

Grandfather said that if nothing unexpected happens, the Beixiang delegation will definitely make a bigger fuss this time to test our bottom line!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, looking very unhappy: "A bunch of barbarians, asking them to come to Tiansheng to celebrate father's birthday and the New Year is giving them face!

If you ask me, if these people dare to cause trouble, they should all be killed!"

"So you want to follow me out of the palace in order to kill everyone when that group of people cause trouble?"

Yun Shu raised his eyebrows.
Yun Chuhuan, who was full of vigor just now, suddenly wilted:

"I would like to, but if I really do that, I will definitely be beaten by my father."

"Then why are you making such a fuss?"

After all this time, it was just empty talk. Yun Shu sighed:
"If I see it, I can only be helpless and furious. It's better to out of sight and out of mind."

Yun Chuhuan: “?”

It seems to make some sense...
Yun Chuhuan was silent.

Two days later, Yun Chuhuan was still taking classes in the study room, while Yun Shu left the palace alone with Tingxue and the secret guards.

The restaurant has basically been renovated now. Since Tang Xinhua knew in advance that Yun Shu would be coming over, she even had someone turn on the floor heating.

When Yun Shu walked in from the outside wrapped in a thick cloak, he could hear the surprised shouts of many people who came to apply for jobs at the job recruitment area on the first floor -

"It's so warm in here! If it weren't for the snow outside, I would have thought it was spring!"

"It's not this warm even in spring. It feels almost like summer!"

"But why don't I see the charcoal brazier?"

"Really? There isn't even a charcoal basin in here!"

"Isn't it said that this restaurant was opened by Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, and His Majesty also invested a lot of money in it because he dotes on the Fifth Princess?
You guys think, could it be because of this, that this place is blessed by dragon energy and full of yang energy, that's why it's so warm?"

"Oh my goodness! If we can really work here, won't we be able to get some dragon energy every day?"

"Hiss... God bless me and make me Liu Tiezhu rich and powerful!"

Yun Shu: “…”

If the warm air coming out of the "earth dragon" can also be considered "dragon energy", then these people are not wrong.

Shaking his head helplessly, Yun Shu slowly walked up to the fourth floor before taking off his cloak. He chuckled at Tang Xinhua and Cen Yiyi who had been waiting there for a long time:

"Cousin, Yi Yi."

"Your Highness!"

Tang Xinhua hurried forward, looked Yun Shu up and down with a concerned look, and then breathed a sigh of relief calmly:
"I heard that His Highness was ill a few days ago, and my grandfather sent a letter to the palace, wanting to go and see him.

But His Majesty said that you needed to rest and he did not agree. My grandfather was so worried that he did not sleep well.

Fortunately, you have good luck. "

"Princess, you are really too weak."

Cen Yiyi also suggested worriedly:
"Why don't you practice martial arts with me in the future? You can make your body stronger and won't get sick easily anymore!"

"I'm not cut out for martial arts!"

Her desire for martial arts skills was not enough to make her endure the pain of learning martial arts, let alone a fake illness?
