Chapter 958 Tell the Truth

Qin Chuchu and the man walked into the yard hand in hand. Just as she was about to run to the door, she was pulled back by the man.

"Wait a moment!"

As Han Muchen spoke, he pulled Qin Chuchu back to his room.

"Your Majesty, aren't we going to distribute firewood to everyone?"

Qin Chuchu let the man drag her and looked at him in confusion.

Han Muchen pulled Qin Chuchu back to his room and looked at her seriously.

"Let's not rush out. First, tell me why those people were poisoned."

"Huh? I don't know!" Qin Chuchu rolled her eyes and immediately shook her head, as if to say, "I don't know anything about this."

Whoever causes the trouble should be held responsible. It has nothing to do with you.

As soon as he saw Chuchu's rolling eyes, he knew she was lying. He took her hand and sat back on the sofa.

"Chu Chu, be good and tell me the truth."

As the man spoke, he pulled Chu Chu back into his arms, like coaxing a child.

Thinking of coaxing Chuchu into telling her, she told her the truth, but unfortunately Qin Chuchu didn't buy it and shook her head again.

"I really don't know!"

She looked at the man seriously and refused to tell him. This time, Han Mulei would be in big trouble.

Even though she pretended to be very convincing, the man could still tell that she was lying.

He held her soft, boneless little hand in his and began to persuade her earnestly.

"Chu Chu, do you know how serious this matter is?"

"I don't know!" Qin Chuchu shook her head, looking like she didn't care how much I loved her, and it didn't matter to her.

“………………” The man pursed his lips.

Seeing Chuchu's refusal to admit it, he pinched her nose as punishment.

"Although I, like you, feel that this matter is quite satisfying, it concerns the lives of the people. Do you know how many people have been poisoned?"

"I don't know!" Qin Chuchu still pretended to be stupid and shook her head, as if she didn't intend to care.

The man was not in a hurry and continued to explain patiently.

"Han Mulei opened his shop yesterday, and all the well-off people from all over the country came, including some wealthy nobles.

Now they are all poisoned and can't get treatment at the clinic. Moreover, the source of the poison can't be found. If this continues, I'm afraid many people will die."

The man lost the playful look on his face and became serious.

We received news yesterday that medical clinics across the country are overwhelmed with patients, most of whom have already fainted, and many are still waiting for medical treatment.

The most important thing is that the source of the poison has not been found yet. If it continues, many people will die.

Although this was Han Mulei's fault, he couldn't ignore the loss of so many lives.

After all, there are too many people poisoned. If they really die, those nobles and powerful gods will not let it go, and there may be chaos.

“………………”Qin Chuchu didn’t say anything.

But his eyes moved faster and faster. Although he felt that this matter was quite satisfying, he didn't want so many people to die because of it.

Seeing that the princess had become more active, Feng Qi glanced at Feng Liu beside him and came over.

"Yes, Princess, if we can't find the source of the poison, many people will die."

"That's right. When Han Mulei opened his shop yesterday, the shop was completely packed. The shop was packed all night long. I heard some of them even ate two meals a day. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people fainting right now."

Feng Liu also agreed. This was what the news came back last night. When he thought about so many people fainting, he felt very anxious.

“………………”Qin Chuchu still didn’t say anything.

But looking at Feng Liu and Feng Qi, who looked so anxious, I knew how serious the situation was.

Seeing that Chuchu had come to her senses, the man pulled her hand over again.

"My beloved, tell me the truth. If we can find a solution this time, it will be a good thing for us."

"Really!" Qin Chuchu's eyes lit up.

If it's good for them, then it's okay to say it.

"Of course it's true, my beloved. Think about it, no one can find the source of the poison. If we can solve it, not only will we help our father solve the problem, but the people will also be grateful to us."

"Okay, I'll tell you." Qin Chuchu nodded decisively.

If it is beneficial to them, then they can say it.

"Okay, then tell me quickly." The man was delighted.

I guessed what Chuchu knew.

Qin Chuchu didn't say anything. She stood up and ran to the dressing table, took out a piece of paper and a pen from the drawer, and ran to sit down in front of the man.

"Your Highness, Han Mulei and the others must have mistaken the wild grass for star anise."

As she spoke, she drew two figures on the paper.

"Look, this round-bellied one is the real star anise, and this long and thin one with hooks is the wild grass, which is poisonous.

Ingestion can cause nausea and abdominal pain, and in severe cases, it can even cause fainting and damage to internal organs."

Qin Chuchu explained seriously that she paid close attention to this matter.

When I first took everyone to the mountain to pick star anise, I shouted at the top of my lungs because I was afraid they would pick the wrong ones.

And when I came back, I picked it again and found the right ingredients for the hot pot.

They must have mistaken the wild grass for star anise, otherwise there wouldn't be such a large-scale poisoning.

Looking at the two figures drawn on the paper by Chuchu, it was really difficult to distinguish them without careful explanation. Han Muchen stared for a long time before looking at Feng Qi in front of him.

"Call Lao Wu!"

Now that we have found the source of the poison, we must quickly develop the antidote. Those who have fainted will not last long.

"Yes." Feng Qi agreed and rushed out of the house excitedly.

I guessed that the princess must know something. Now, if the antidote can be made, the prince will have done a great job.

Soon, Feng Wu was called back, and Qin Chuchu repeated what she had just said.

I also talked about the toxicity and pharmacology of Mangcao again. This is what my teacher told me when I was learning cooking.

Because it was poisonous, the memory of it was particularly vivid, and I can now repeat it exactly as it happened.

I have to say that this helped Feng Wu a lot. He didn't have to test the pharmacology and medicinal properties himself, which saved a lot of time.

"When can the antidote be prepared?"

The man looked at Feng Wu seriously. Time waits for no one. If the work is delayed for one day, many people may die.

"Don't worry, master, half an hour will be enough!" Feng Wu said with confidence.

Now that we have found the source of the poison and understand its pharmacology and properties, we just need to quickly prepare the antidote.

Moreover, this kind of medicinal material is not rare. There is plenty of it in the factory and it can be prepared in batches.

After hearing this, the man nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, go ahead!"

Feng Wu did not dare to hesitate and quickly left with the paper written by Qin Chuchu.

"My Lord, is what I said useful?"

Qin Chuchu stared at the man with her big black eyes.

That's all I know. I don't know if I can help him.

"Of course it works. My Chuchu is the most powerful."

The man curled his lips and pinched her little face lovingly.

Qin Chuchu was delighted when she heard this.

"Really? Then can we go out and divide the firewood?"

“………………” Several people were stunned.

They all laughed uncontrollably. Chu Chu's train of thought really couldn't keep up.
