When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
"Princess! Princess, you must save me! I don't want to die!" A man knelt down.
Others who were frightened also knelt down with pale faces, "Princess, Princess, please save us!"
Soon, a group of people knelt down.
Most of them were servants in the palace, afraid of being abandoned by their masters, afraid that their masters would not care about their lives.
Ye Xinran raised her hand, "Don't worry, I won't give up on anyone. The pills I gave you are the antidote for all poisons! As long as you stop drinking the poisonous well water, you'll be fine!"
Everyone bowed to Ye Xinran happily.
"Thank you, Princess!"
"Thank you, Princess!"
"Everyone, get up, let's talk about the person who poisoned us!"
Although Gu Kamakura was calm, his clothes were soaked with sweat. Mrs. Zhang wanted to shout at first, but now she couldn't help but tremble.
Gu Yanqing and Gu Yanlu also clenched their palms tightly, not daring to act rashly.
"Yes, yes, tell me! Who is so cruel as to dare to murder people in the palace!" someone said angrily.
Others followed suit, and were so angry that they wanted to skin the man alive.
"It's actually very easy to find that person!" Ye Xinran sneered and winked at Qiuhua.
Qiuhua stepped forward and took out a box. When she opened the box, it was full of white pills.
"The person who poisons others will definitely not be poisoned himself!" Ye Xinran said faintly.
"These white pills are called Pearl Pills. After taking them, they can strengthen the body and prolong life. They are only available to the masters in the palace."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they were all excited when they saw the pills in the box.
"But there's one amazing thing about it: after you eat it, your tongue will turn blue, and it will disappear after two days."
Everyone was stunned. They didn't understand why.
"But, I found that the tongues of those who were poisoned before would not change color after they ate some pearl pills!"
"Doesn't that mean that if someone takes this medicine and their tongue turns blue, they are not poisoned..."
"That person is the one who poisoned..."
Everyone understood without Ye Xinran saying anything.
"That's a good idea! Just look at the tongue! The one that's blue is the murderer!"
"Yes, yes! I'll go first!" someone said excitedly. This is what the masters in the palace eat!
Ye Xinran raised her hand to stop him.
"Wait a moment!"
The man paused.
Ye Xinran smiled, "Line up, one by one! Don't let anyone fool you!"
The man nodded.
Ye Xinran looked at everyone, and finally her eyes fell on Gu Kamakura.
"Uncle is the elder, so you go first!"
Gu Kamakura froze, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, and he shook his head, "Let others go first!"
Ye Xinran smiled, "Okay, then Auntie will come first?"
Madam Zhang shuddered with fear and quickly stepped back, forcing a smile and waving her hands, "No, no, no, let others come first!"
Everyone raised their eyebrows and looked at them suspiciously.
Ye Xinran was not embarrassed and looked at Gu Yanlu again!
"How about you go first!"
Gu Yanlu froze, a trace of panic in his eyes, and quickly shook his head, "No, no, let others go first!"
Everyone frowned and looked at them.
Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yanqing again.
Gu Yanqing didn't even dare to raise his head and just hid backwards.
Everyone was just curious at first, but now seeing the family like this, they all became suspicious.
One of them, an old man who was not much younger than Gu Kamakura, narrowed his eyes and said.
"You're welcome. Everyone in your family has finished eating, so we can eat some more!"
In addition to Gu Kamakura's wife and son, there was also his daughter and two daughters-in-law. They all looked pale.
The crowd surrounded them directly.
"Eat quickly!" someone shouted.
Others complied.
“Eat quickly!”
“Eat quickly!”
What else do you not understand now? The poison was administered by this family.
"They must have poisoned it! Otherwise, why wouldn't they dare to eat it!"
"Yes, it must be them!"
"They want to kill us! Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Everyone rushed forward.
About a hundred people beat these people.
The scene was in chaos.
Ye Xinran's lips curled up.
This was the effect she wanted. After all, Gu Kamakura was the old prince's younger brother and a member of the royal family, so it would be difficult to deal with him in any way. But if they offended the public, that would be another matter!
As the saying goes, the law does not punish everyone!
Ye Xinran was afraid that other people would get hurt and the situation would be out of control, so she asked the secret guards to watch around.
Gu Kamakura was skilled in martial arts and suffered the least injuries, but the others were not.
Madam Zhang and the other female relatives were screaming in pain, but soon they all fell silent. They were all beaten to death.
Gu Yanqing and Gu Yanlu were both seriously injured, with all their limbs broken and their faces beaten so badly that even their own parents couldn't recognize them.
But the people were not satisfied. Because if the princess hadn't found out, they would have all died. They were flesh and blood, with old people and children. Some people even had miscarriages. Little children died.
"What do you want to do with them?" Ye Xinran kindly asked for everyone's opinions.
"This family is so bad! Let's just hang them all!" someone suggested.
"Yeah, they almost killed more than a hundred people. It's not a pity for them to die! They should be fed to the dogs after they die!"
"Let the dog go! Can't the dog have something good to eat? Must it eat the meat of animals?"
Ye Xinran shook her head with amusement.
When everyone was talking in a flurry and feeling indignant, suddenly, Gu Kamakura jumped up and flew onto the roof.
