The female boss of destiny, even villains have to work for me

The next morning, Du Ran woke up groggy.

"Empress, are you awake?" Mu Zhou grinned with joy and quickly brought Du Ran a glass of water. After drinking the water, Du Ran felt a little better.

"What's wrong with me? My head feels so heavy." Du Ran rubbed his head, feeling a little uncomfortable.

"My queen, you've been poisoned. If Doctor Liu hadn't come in time, I'm afraid..." Before Mu Zhou could finish his words, Liu Xihua poked his head out and smiled foolishly, "My queen, if you don't wake up, Brother Mu will take over the restaurant."

Mu Zhou gave him a cold look, and Liu Xihua shut his mouth in disappointment. Suddenly, he ran to the queen's room with some excitement.

"I was poisoned? And I almost died?" Du Ran had no recollection of this at all.

Mu Zhou's expression was somewhat serious: "Don't worry, Madam, I have checked it. There is nothing wrong with the food that night, but that plate of cakes is poisonous."

Du Ran thought hard for a while, then he remembered, and said in shock: "Is there something wrong with the cake?! Didn't you buy it?"

Mu Zhou shook his head: "I have asked people to investigate. If I find the person who poisoned me, I will cut him into pieces!"

"Oh my God, where is the Queen?" Du Ran was a little flustered. She remembered that the pastries tasted good and the Queen also ate a lot.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Queen is fine and should wake up soon." Mu Zhou comforted Du Ran.

Du Ran wanted to get out of bed, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand. With Mu Zhou's help, he could barely get out of bed, but he was also exhausted and sweating.

"Your Majesty, please don't get out of bed. You are not fully recovered yet. Liu Xihua has gone to see the Queen." Mu Zhou knew that Du Ran was worried about the Queen.

The queen woke up just a little later than Du Ran. The first thing she saw when she woke up was Liu Xihua, who was grinning foolishly. Even though she was not fully awake yet, she was still shocked: "Who are you!" the queen shouted.

Liu Xihua was at a loss: "Don't worry, Queen, I am the doctor who saved you and gave you the detoxification. You were poisoned and just woke up. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a bad person!"

The queen still looked at Liu Xihua warily, and asked doubtfully, "Why was I poisoned?"

"You ate the poisoned pastries, and our princess was also poisoned. However, she ate less and woke up an incense stick's time earlier than you. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid the lives of the princess and the queen would be in danger." Liu Xihua looked like he was glad I was here, serious and funny.

The queen then remembered the plate of pastries that the old woman had brought her. She tried to get up, but her situation was similar to Du Ran's. She felt weak all over, and even sitting up was difficult for her, let alone getting up.

Liu Xihua hurriedly handed a pillow and placed it behind the queen's back, so that she could barely maintain a half-lying position.

"Doctor, thank you for saving my life. May I know your name?" The queen was a little weak, but still smiled gently. Liu Xihua was stunned for a moment, blushed, lowered his head and whispered awkwardly: "Your Majesty, my name is Liu Xihua, you can call me Doctor Liu, I work in the Princess's residence."

"I see. How is Du Ran?"

"The princess is fine now, but she is still weak. She needs to recuperate for two more days. After all, the poison is too strong and will cause some damage to her body." Liu Xihua said seriously.

As the two were talking, they saw Mu Zhou with a gloomy face carrying Du Ran to the Queen's door, and also saw Liu Xihua and the Queen chatting.

"Empress, you're awake?!" Du Ran looked surprised.

"I told you that the queen is fine, but you insisted on coming to see her. Now that you've seen her, can you go back now?" Mu Zhou turned around and carried Du Ran away. Du Ran was so anxious that he patted Mu Zhou's back and shouted, "Now that you're here, why don't you put me in the queen's room!"

Mu Zhou carried her to the queen's room with a sullen face and put her on a chair.

"Doctor Liu, are you asking for a reward by laughing like this?" Mu Zhou looked at Liu Xihua and joked.

Liu Xihua failed to control her expression and was in a panic. She looked at the queen and then at Mu Zhou: "Don't talk nonsense, what reward money!"

The queen responded and smiled apologetically: "I should thank Doctor Liu for saving my life, but I can't go down now. When I get better, I will definitely give Doctor Liu a thank you gift."

Liu Xihua looked embarrassed and quickly explained: "Queen, please don't listen to Mu Zhou's nonsense. We who save lives and heal the wounded are not bound by any thank you gift. You are the Queen, and it is my honor to serve you. Please don't say thank you."

Mu Zhou interrupted again: "Yes, Queen, I was just joking, please don't use money to insult Divine Doctor Liu."

Liu Xihua's face became even uglier and she looked at Mu Zhou sadly. Mu Zhou tried hard not to laugh.

The topic got back on track. The queen said that the plate of cakes was sent by an old woman. She saw that the old woman looked sincere and had a child with her, so she thought she should not be a bad person, so she let down her guard. She didn't expect that she almost made a big mistake.

Mu Zhou frowned and listened quietly.

"She said there is a pastry shop on the east side of the road at the foot of the mountain, and the food tastes very good. It seems that what she said was false." The queen felt a little regretful.

"There is indeed such a pastry shop." Mu Zhou took over the conversation: "But there are too many people passing by every time, and I am too lazy to wait in line."

"If there are a lot of people, it might not be easy to investigate." Du Ran sighed.

"It doesn't matter. There are a lot of brothers in this imperial capital." Mu Zhou crossed his legs and smiled confidently and complacently.

"I don't know what Brother Mu did in the past. Why are there brothers everywhere in the martial arts world?" Liu Xihua said sarcastically.

Mu Zhou glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Is Doctor Liu jealous?"

"Why should I be jealous? We doctors have always been lonely and never want to be tainted by the secular world!" Liu Xihua expressed his noble sentiments, which were different from those of Mu Zhou.

"Lonely? You are not lonely. Your cousin is still in Yuecheng. How can you be lonely?" Mu Zhou retorted disdainfully.

Liu Xihua glared at him and said, "Brother Mu, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! My cousin and I just have similar interests!"

"Doctor Liu, I have to correct you!" Du Ran also joked: "Don't say anything careless, and don't eat anything careless. Look, isn't this poisoning?"

"Princess, why are you interrupting me?" Liu Xihua was very angry and speechless.

These words successfully made the queen laugh. Seeing the queen laugh, Liu Xihua scratched his head awkwardly and said nothing more.

"I think we should not reveal the fact that Doctor Liu cured us for now. Let's go down the mountain and continue looking for doctors. Mu Zhou, remember, you must look serious so that others know that we will not live long and no one can cure us. After all, the Queen is still a member of the palace. She will definitely alarm the Emperor and others. The imperial physician should also come. I think the murderer is in the palace." Du Ran pondered and analyzed.

The Queen nodded in agreement.

Mu Zhou went down the mountain immediately, his expression so serious that he almost cried.
