Silence.

Gu Yuyan was stunned on the stage for a moment.

As everyone turned around, they found a middle-aged man with a beard, standing with his hands on his hips and accusing others angrily.

"Everyone, don't be fooled. This isn't an event organized by the royal family. It's hosted by the Liuli Medicinal Food Shop in the capital."

Seeing the fear on everyone's faces, the man quickly told everyone the news he had heard.

"It's just that the owner behind that medicinal food shop is Princess Jingling. I think she asked the emperor for permission to trick us here."

“Bold!”

As soon as this person finished speaking, Gu Yuyan immediately became angry.

He walked to the edge of the stage and pointed at the person who was speaking, "What do you mean by deception? Who are you? How dare you disrespect Princess Jingling!"

If Qin Ji had not explained it in advance, the man would naturally not dare to provoke the princess on this occasion.

However, the young master of the Qin family said that as long as business is involved, everyone is a businessman. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people. If the princess does business against her conscience, she will naturally be punished by the law.

Thinking of this, the man sneered, "If it wasn't a scam, why would he brag about the goodness of the herbal medicine shop and ask us to pay money to join? Humph, I will always keep my name, Zhu Yongzhi."

"Boss Zhu, what do you mean?"

"Yes, Boss Zhu, this is not the place for you to act so recklessly."

Everyone sitting next to Zhu Yongzhi started to give advice, and some even kindly pointed at the guards standing by.

"Even if today's lecture was organized by Princess Jingling, you can't cause trouble like this."

"Humph," Zhu Yongzhi snorted coldly, "Making trouble? I'm not making trouble. I'm just protecting everyone's interests."

Thinking about the conditions that the young master of the Qin family agreed to him, as long as he had the third prince as his backer, what would it matter if he offended Princess Jingling?

No matter how powerful Prince Jingling is, he is just a prince. Once the third prince ascends the throne, he will become the number one imperial merchant in Daning. By then, the Zhu family will no longer have to worry about its foundation.

Seeing Zhu Yongzhi's expression of determination to punish evil and promote good, and seeming quite confident, many bosses suddenly began to feel troubled.

"What he said...can't be true."

"Yes, Boss Zhu disregarded his own safety and stood up for us. Could it be that there really is some conflict here?"

"From my perspective, this investment conference is asking us to join, is it really about making money from us?"

“…”

Discussions arose everywhere, and the expressions of the people in the audience looking at Gu Yuyan gradually became unfriendly.

"You are simply... bold!"

This was the first time that Gu Yuyan encountered such an occasion, and the royal princess's subconscious reaction made everyone feel even more unhappy.

There were even a few people who stood up from their seats and said that they had eaten some medicinal food and were feeling unwell and wanted to leave quickly.

Just as the situation was about to become chaotic, a female voice with a faint smile suddenly rang out.

"What a good way to protect everyone's interests."

Jiang Li walked out from the side of the stage, patted Gu Yuyan's back, and looked at her gently, "Xiaojiu, you did a great job today. Go and have a rest first."

After saying that, he gave Jiang Mubai, who had been waiting on the side, a look, indicating that he should take Gu Yuyan away.

Then, she smacked her lips, raised the corners of her eyes slightly, and showed her coldness and elegance, especially when she looked at Zhu Yongzhi, there was a hint of murderous intent in her eyes.

"Boss Zhu, do you dare to take responsibility for what you said?"

She had long guessed that someone would come to cause trouble today, so she specifically asked Gu Qingchen to arrange for people from Mo Yun Pavilion to conduct a detailed investigation of all the people who came to attend today's lecture.

Sure enough, there are quite a few wealthy people here, and they have close relations with the Qin family.

Especially Zhu Yongzhi in front of him.

The businessman, who was born into a bandit family, rebelled when the previous emperor sent troops to suppress the bandits, but was spared. He then became a disciple of the Qin family and opened a granary with the help of his relationship with the prime minister's mansion. The reason why he was able to become rich quickly in recent years is inseparable from the sudden outbreak of war and the profit he made from the national disaster.

He came to cause trouble, and it was obvious that the Qin family was behind it.

"Responsible? Why should I be responsible? You are the ones who should be responsible!"

Zhu Yongzhi was born a scoundrel, and there were so many people here. The young master of the Qin family said that as long as he did not insult the royal family and only dealt with the matter based on the facts, no one would dare to punish him.

The emperor was standing on the second floor leaning against the railing, his face full of anger.

He glanced at Gu Qingchen standing beside him and snorted coldly, "Someone is bullying your wife, and you don't go to help her?"

"She had guessed this would happen a long time ago." Gu Qingchen crossed his arms, looking like he was watching the fun. "A-Li said that once this drama is over, my brother's recent troubles will be completely resolved."

The emperor's curiosity was completely aroused by this sentence.

He cast his gaze downwards, where the woman had already walked to the front of the group's seats. She said leisurely, "Today's lecture is indeed a suggestion I made to the Emperor. On the one hand, I want to impart the principles of health preservation. Since you are a merchant in the capital, you should be familiar with my medical skills."

Jiang Li knew Zhu Yongzhi's background, so she naturally wouldn't get angry because of a few words from him.

After hearing this, she smiled faintly and said calmly, "Could it be that you really think today's health lecture is of no benefit to everyone?"

"There's no need to change the focus, Princess."

Finally, he had waited for the Princess of Jingling, and Zhu Yongzhi had achieved his goal. From then on, as long as he acted according to the plan, not to mention the health lecture, even the Liuli Medicinal Food Shop would probably close down.

Zhu Yongzhi bowed to Jiang Li, seemingly showing respect, and then pointed at the medicinal food and said, "Who doesn't say nice things? But even if you let people say nice things, it can't cover up the fact that they are passing off inferior products as good ones."

"Although I don't know much about medicine, we're all in business, and everyone knows that if we start with the raw materials, the profits can double. But Princess, if other industries did this, at most they would be called profiteers, but if the herbs in the medicated food are not used properly, it could be fatal!"

Everyone was stunned. The more they listened, the more they felt that what Zhu Yongzhi said made sense. Their hearts were beating like drums, and they wanted to vomit out what they had just eaten.

Jiang Li watched the man in front of her become more and more excited. After laughing inwardly, she also covered her mouth and exclaimed, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. Boss Zhu said that our herbal medicine shop uses inferior herbs. Do you have any evidence?"

The man felt relieved when he saw Jiang Li's panic and forced calmness.

Sure enough, even the princess is just a weak woman. How could she not panic when faced with such a situation?

Zhu Yongzhi now just wants to complete this matter quickly and then go to the Qin family to ask for a reward.

"Evidence? There should be a pharmacy owner here, right?" Zhu Yongzhi looked around and pointed at a man and said, "Boss Ji, come here."

"Princess, this Mr. Ji is the current head of the Chengnan Pharmacy in Beijing. Would you like to ask him to take a look at the herbs in this medicinal food bowl?"

Zhu Yongzhi said in a pretentious manner without blinking.

Not to mention that Ji Zhong is one of their own, and he had already replaced the medicinal ingredients in the medicinal food while no one was paying attention.
