Chapter 242 Someone must have poisoned this!

Xu Yanyi frowned and walked quickly forward, followed by Master Yue and Mu Nanzhou.

"Move aside, Princess Nanling is here!"

Someone raised his voice.

The people who were queuing up to receive food made way for them. Xu Yanyi watched a middle-aged man helping an old man who had fainted and was twitching to sit on the ground. She squatted down to check on him and quickly turned around: "Someone! Send him to the hospital!"

"yes!"

Xiaoyu led people to carry the old man up.

The middle-aged man was startled and quickly stopped: "Where are you taking my dad?"

"Didn't I say we were going to the clinic? Don't block the way, unless you want your father to die sooner!"

Xu Yanyi looked at him coldly. The middle-aged man wanted to stop him but didn't dare. He could only watch his father being carried away. Xu Yanyi asked, "What's the matter? You just said that your father fell down after eating the steamed buns from the princess's mansion?"

The middle-aged man nodded heavily: "That's right. I'm a refugee from a disaster in my hometown. I haven't had enough to eat for a few days. I heard that the princess's mansion was distributing food, so I came here. My father was also very hungry, so he took the food and ate it. I didn't expect him to fall to the ground after eating only two bites..."

Xu Yanyi picked up the half-eaten steamed bun on the ground. She smelled it and found a faint smell of medicine in it.

There was no need to use a silver needle to test it, Xu Yanyi knew there was poison inside.

Master Yue took the steamed bun from her hand, sniffed it carefully, and the little green snake on his wrist also moved. He looked at Xu Yanyi and nodded slightly.

Mu Nanzhou looked at the two of them and felt very unhappy. These two really thought they were invisible! They were flirting with each other in front of so many people!

Xu Yanyi was about to ask more questions when a servant rushed over and said, "Princess, Princess, something bad has happened. Many people who have been collecting food in the Princess's Mansion in the past two days have shown signs of fainting and convulsions today!"

Good guys!

Someone must have poisoned this!

Xu Yanyi's voice turned cold: "Where are those people?"

"They are all at the refugee camp."

The servant looked at the people around him and felt a little panicked.

When the people heard this, they were even more shocked and talked about it.

"Is there poison in the food?"

"I heard that the royal family didn't want to deal with ordinary people like us, but they couldn't do it openly, so they used this trick."

"Oh my God, I've heard of this before. Many years ago, after the flood in Taonan County, the people were displaced. The county officials not only withheld the relief supplies but also forced the people to pay taxes. Later, many people had no choice but to go to Beijing to file a complaint.

Who knew that in order to prevent the matter from being exposed, the county official also arranged to open the warehouse to release grain. Who knew that the grain was poisoned and killed all the people. Those who reported it said that they died because of the flood, and those who were not dead dared not say anything. It was not until many years later that the truth was revealed.

"Yes, yes, yes! I've heard what you said, but we're fine now, why do you want to poison us?

"Isn't this Princess Nanling the Princess Huiyang who led the rebels into the city? I heard that she just likes to kill innocent people."

"She can even kill her own father, let alone us ordinary people!"

When these words were spoken, the people present were all in an uproar.

Master Yue subconsciously blocked Xu Yanyi behind him, and Mu Nanzhou was extremely annoyed when he saw this.

Xu Yanyi glanced at everyone coldly: "This princess is not stupid enough to personally distribute food and poison you. Since this incident happened here, this princess will naturally be responsible to the end! As long as any of you eats the food sent by the princess's mansion and gets into trouble, you can ask King Nanling to reimburse the medical expenses!"

“…”

Mu Nanzhou's eyes widened, obviously asking on what grounds?

Xu Yanyi whispered: "Since you owe me so much dowry money, it's not too much to use it to offset it!"

“…”

Mu Nanzhou choked.

When everyone heard that Prince Nanling would be held responsible, their anger subsided a lot.

But when it comes to matters of life and death, you have to risk your life.

The middle-aged man just now couldn't help but said: "Princess Nanling, I don't want to misunderstand you, but my father did fall down after eating the steamed buns from the princess's mansion, and didn't I say that many people were in trouble too? This..."

"I will go check the situation now. All the people who have received food in the Princess's Mansion will go to the clinic for a checkup. If there are any problems, all the medical expenses will be charged to King Nanling. You don't trust me, but can you trust someone like King Nanling?"

Xu Yanyi turned around and looked at Mu Nanzhou, "King Nanling, what do you think?"

Mu Nanzhou suppressed his anger, glared at him fiercely, and said coldly: "I am here, and I will definitely give you justice!"

"It's King Nanling! I believe in King Nanling!"

"With the guarantee from King Nanling, I believe it!"

"Thank you, King Nanling!"

A group of people surrounded Mu Nanzhou and knelt down before him.

Xu Yanyi was too lazy to look and just walked in another direction. She wanted to see the condition of the fallen civilians.

Master Yue whispered a few words to the servants, then followed Xiaoyu.

Mu Nanzhou, on the other hand, was surrounded by a large group of people and couldn't move at all. His handsome face turned very dark due to anger.

* Refugee camp.

As soon as Xu Yanyi arrived, she saw many people lying on the ground. Those people were refugees who were placed here, so it was commonly known as a refugee camp. They were already living a miserable life, and now they had collapsed because of this incident. They didn't even have money to see a doctor.

What if she found out who did it!

Xu Yanyi will never let it go!

On the way here, Xu Yanyi had asked Xiaoyu to call doctors from several nearby clinics. Now Xu Yanyi saw that the situation was indeed serious, so she waved her hand, and the doctors hurried forward with their medicine boxes to check.

Master Yue went to the front to collect some information and then came back: "Princess, they have indeed received rations from the Princess's Mansion in the past few days, and they are eating the rations received from the Princess's Mansion. Moreover, they are fleeing here, and they don't have extra money to buy other food. I'm afraid there is indeed a problem with the rations."

Xu Yanyi was silent for a moment: "Every day when I distribute rations, I will check all the rations to see if they are spoiled or not, but I didn't see anything. If that's the case, how did the poisonous rations get mixed in..."

"Among all the food, only steamed buns and dumplings are delivered from a dumpling shop in the north of the city every morning. You said you would ensure the freshness of the steamed buns and dumplings. Do you remember?"

Master Yue reminded.

Xu Yanyi frowned: "You mean there's something wrong with that bun shop?"

"Rice, dry grains, noodles... I bought all of these with Xiaoyu. I have checked everything, and the shopkeeper has been doing business with me for a long time. If the princess doesn't trust me, I can just let..."

Before Master Yue could finish his words, Xu Yanyi interrupted him: "I believe you. Because I haven't checked the steamed buns and dumplings, and there are no problems with the rest. I will ask someone to go to the dumpling shop..."

Just as Xu Yanyi said this, Master Yue's servant came back and said, "Princess Nanling, Master Yue asked me to go to the bun shop, but I didn't expect that the shop was empty. I asked the neighbors and they said that the shopkeeper owed gambling debts and he delivered the last batch of steamed buns to the princess's mansion today and then... ran away..."
