Chapter 717: She's the Crown Princess
"Ouch my stomach, my stomach hurts too!"
Two or three in succession, several people fell down with their stomachs covered.
Zhao Zhiyu immediately stopped the soup soup with the county lord of Ruyang, and asked people to come forward to see what the situation was.
"Crown princess, someone suddenly vomited and diarrhea after drinking porridge, and now the people say that there is something wrong with this porridge."
Zhao Zhiyu frowned. "Gather everyone in one place first, I'll go over and take a look, county lord, you let people watch all the food here, don't let anyone get close."
Lord Ruyang nodded. "You can rest assured that it will be handed over to the county lord."
Zhao Zhiyu followed Steward Hu to the people who were suddenly unwell to check their pulses, and found that their stomach was disordered, and their stomach qi was very weak.
"Steward Hu, you immediately have someone go to the People's Bureau to get all the Po Chai pills."
"Yes."
Zhao Zhiyu checked the pulse of all the people who were unwell and found that their pulse was the same.
She picked up the bowl that had fallen to the floor and looked at it, and on the face of it, there was nothing wrong with the porridge.
She dipped some porridge and ate it in her mouth.
A faint fishy sweet smell spread between the lips and teeth.
The rice porridge itself has a faint sweetness, but this fishy sweetness has a medicinal smell, and it is difficult to distinguish if she is not familiar with the medicine.
This porridge was drugged.
Zhao Zhiyu returned to the cauldron.
"What happened to those people?"
"I've already asked people to get the medicine, and if there is no major problem, I will be fine if I take the medicine."
The county lord of Ruyang nodded, and saw Zhao Zhiyu spoon a little porridge and taste it.
"What, there's something wrong with this porridge?"
Zhao Zhiyu tasted the product carefully, and did not eat the taste of medicine.
To make sure she hadn't made a mistake in judgment, she tasted it several more times, and tasted all the porridge that was in question.
Make sure that the porridge in the cauldron is no problem.
But those who have problems have problems with the porridge.
"How?"
Zhao Zhiyu's eyebrows swept over everyone's faces.
"The county lord secretly sent people to watch over the people who had problems."
The county lord of Ruyang didn't explain much and didn't ask more. "Okay."
After the medicine was taken back, Steward Hu fed all the people who had problems according to Zhao Zhiyu's request.
After taking the medicine, it didn't take long for those people's conditions to stabilize.
"The crown princess doesn't want to pay money and wants to be a good person, so she asked people to get some rotten rice for us to eat, and the princess inevitably doesn't take the lives of our people as her life." At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.
"That's it, if you don't want to give porridge, it's just that you come out and pretend to be a good person."
Originally, everyone was very happy when they heard that Zhao Zhiyu and the county lord of Ruyang were giving porridge here, thinking that they could have a hot meal to eat, and they even felt that the two of them were living bodhisattvas who came to save them.
But who knows, their hearts are actually black.
"You nobles who can eat a meal for a year, how can you understand the suffering of us ordinary people, if you don't want to give it, why do you hurt people so much."
"That's it, that's it."
The crowd was stirred up, and the people became agitated.
"Nonsense, the county lord really didn't miss the little silver that he gave to you, isn't it just a little rice porridge, and the county lord doesn't care about it, and he can use some rotten rice to coax you?" The county lord of Ruyang is a violent temper, where can he stand such words.
Zhao Zhiyu had no doubt that if someone rushed up at this time, the county lord of Ruyang would be able to beat people up in minutes.
"Then why do so many people have problems when they drink your porridge, it's clear that your porridge is not good enough to become like this."
"That's it, that's it, don't believe them, they're all fake good people."
"Fake good guys, fake good guys!"
The county lord of Ruyang was really angry, and he flew forward on his tiptoes and grabbed a person who was hiding in the crowd just now and shouted the most, and punched him in the face.
"Beat people, the county lord of Ruyang and the crown princess not only gave rotten porridge to the poor people, but also beat people on the street, there is no royal law, there is no royal law!"
The people suddenly became chaotic, and some people began to rush towards Zhao Zhiyu and the county lord of Ruyang.
"Protect the crown princess and protect the county lord."
"Everyone, stop it!"
A gong and drum sound sounded, and everyone subconsciously stopped.
"We sit upright, who just said that we used rotten rice and caused everyone to have problems eating, stand up for me!"
Zhao Zhiyu had a cold face, and her eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one.
"What if you stand up and you take our lives?"
"So many people are watching, if this concubine cares about people's lives, you can sue the emperor, the emperor is fair and strict, and he will never bend the law for personal gain."
Zhao Zhiyu picked up the big spoon and scooped up the porridge on the table. "Concubine Ben asked you to stand in front, just to let you take a good look at whether there is really a problem with this porridge." As she spoke, she raised her head and ate a large mouthful of porridge into her stomach.
One spoonful was not enough, so she ate another spoonful, and several spoonfuls went into her stomach.
Seeing this, the county lord of Ruyang also flew to Zhao Zhiyu's side and took the porridge in the spoon and pot in her hand to eat.
Everyone saw that the two of them ate a lot one after another, but they didn't have any problems at all, and they gradually calmed down.
"Concubine Ben knows that everyone is just being confused by traitors, since Concubine Ben and Lord Ruyang are willing to do their best for everyone, they won't just be a show, don't worry, Concubine Ben and Lord Ruyang will definitely find out the bad guys who persecute everyone and let them be punished as they deserve!"
"That's right, today's soup soup can't be done, and all the people who come to line up can go to the queue over there for a while, and each person can receive ten copper plates, as a compensation for you today, and this silver is from the county lord."
Ten copper plates! If you save it, you can eat it for two or three days!
This is simply a pie in the sky for them, who remembers what just happened, one by one honestly ran to the side to line up.
All that was left was the one who had a stomachache just now.
Those people looked at each other, as if they didn't expect the wind to change suddenly.
Zhao Zhiyu stared at them coldly. "Tell me, who told you to do this?"
Those people were a little panicked, but they still gritted their teeth and didn't speak.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it now, this concubine will definitely have a way to make you speak, arrest them and put them in the prison of Jing Zhao Yin's Mansion, turn around and let Jing Zhao Yin interrogate them strictly, and the mastermind behind the scenes must be tried! When the time comes, these people will be disposed of as accomplices! ”
"Yes!"
Those people were really completely panicked when they saw Zhao Zhiyu coming, and they knelt down and begged for mercy.
"The crown princess spares her life, the crown princess spares her life, we also accept money from people to do this, we don't dare anymore, we don't dare anymore."
"The crown princess spares her life, the crown princess spares her life."
Ruyang County stepped forward and kicked one of them. "What a big dog, who are you, and who made you do this?"
The man was kicked by the county lord of Ruyang, and he almost didn't come up in one breath.
The others were so frightened when they saw it, they begged for mercy: "Back to the princess, back to the county lord, we are, we live on the street, two days ago someone suddenly found us, gave us a pack of medicine, let us put it in the porridge of the princess, she said that this medicine will not take our lives, it will only make us vomit and diarrhea, when there is a problem, we can also slander the princess, and he has another money to us." ”
"Good guy, you dare to calculate to be the head of the county lord!"
"Steward Hu, you immediately take someone to block off the surroundings, just say that this concubine is not allowing any idle people to enter in the porridge, and after a while of distributing the money, you are giving everyone steamed buns, don't let them leave first."
Steward Hu answered the call.
In the end, it was the crown princess and the county lord of Ruyang who came to give soup porridge, and they were not sloppy in guarding.
After Steward Hu sent an additional team of guards to surround the open space, the people outside couldn't find out the news inside.
In a dim sum tea shop not far away, Yun Xilan paced back and forth in the wing room with some impatience.
"Why hasn't there been any movement over there for so long, isn't it because things haven't worked out?"
"Second Miss, don't worry, it may not be so fast."
"I really can't wait, you can go over and see if it's done."
"Yes, yes, slave and maid will go."
As soon as the maid went out, she saw a man trotting all the way over.
"Second Miss, someone is here."
Yun Xilan's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly put on a veil and hid behind the screen. "Call someone in."
"Yes."
Soon, a man in a rag suit entered the wing.
"Is it done?"
As soon as the man came in, Yun Xilan couldn't wait to ask.
"Miss Hui, the matter has been completed, we all took medicine according to Miss's instructions, and now there is a commotion over there, and everyone is accusing the princess of wanting to kill people."
Yun Xilan clenched the handkerchief in her hand excitedly, this is really good, Zhao Zhiyu, I see that you will shed your skin if you don't die this time!
When she returned home, she asked her father to make a fuss in front of the emperor, and she didn't believe that she couldn't pull Zhao Zhiyu off the throne of the crown princess!
"Okay, you're doing a good job."
People rubbed their hands. "Then should you give us the rest of the money?"
The matter is done, Yun Xilan naturally doesn't care about that bit of silver. "Give him the money."
"Yes."
The maid took out a bag of silver and handed it to the other party.
The strange thing is that the other party didn't even look at it, and after thanking Yun Xilan, he turned around and ran away.
The maid felt a little strange, like this kind of scoundrel in the market must be compared, for fear that there would be fewer people for him, he actually left without even counting the silver, which is very strange.
However, she didn't take it to heart, and only flattered Yun Xilan: "Congratulations to Second Miss, it won't be long before you can become the crown princess." ”
Yun Xilan walked out from behind the screen, with a smile on her face.
Yes, as long as Zhao Zhiyu is pulled off the horse, she will be the crown princess!
