Chapter 263: Green Years



One of them's face gradually turned red, as red as a pig's, and he quickly asked someone to pull the needle out of his hand.

"Hurry!" Gu Yunru gave an order, and a policeman came forward and stuffed a red pill into his mouth.

Shen Aojun also came to the clinic. Seeing Gu Yunru busy at work, she walked up to her and greeted her.

"Yunru, what are you doing?" Shen Aojun asked in confusion. Gu Yunru patted his chest and smiled, "This is a machine I invented to test human blood. You don't understand the details, but everyone has their own expertise. By the way, how is Zhou Peng doing?"

Gu Yunru asked curiously, grabbing a handful of almonds and throwing them into her mouth.

"Order has been restored at the scene, and no one is crowding forward anymore."

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work." Gu Yunru smiled at her.

"How can this be hard? This is something that benefits the people. I have to thank you on behalf of the disaster victims." Shen Aojun was just saying this when a messenger rushed in from outside and said to the two of them in a trembling voice, "It's bad, it's bad. Several refugees are foaming at the mouth after drinking the porridge. They are dead!"

"What!" Gu Yunru and Shen Aojun had the same expression, they both widened their eyes in disbelief.

After hearing this, Cheng Shaoyuan rushed to the scene. Four or five people started having diarrhea after drinking the porridge. The most serious case was that one person had foamed at the mouth and died, because he drank the most porridge.

The refugees at the scene began to become restless, and some even instigated and talked about it, saying that this was a deliberate act of the court, and they also put the blame on Prince Zhao's Mansion.

"Dad! Wuuwu!" A little girl about seven or eight years old rushed into the crowd and looked at the man lying on the ground. He was already foaming at the mouth and had no breath. He lay on the side and cried with his head in his hands. The onlookers around saw him and pointed and talked about him.

"Dad... don't you want Yaya anymore?" The little girl's heart-wrenching cry reached Gu Yunru's ears. He quickly walked forward and smelled the person's nose, and found that he was indeed dead.

Some refugees recognized Gu Yunru and threw all the buns in their hands at her head. Gu Yunru was hit on the nose and she covered her face with a cry. Seeing this, Cheng Shaoyuan quickly ordered people to pull all the refugees away, while he stood in front of Gu Yunru to protect her.

Shen Aojun saw that the situation was getting a bit chaotic, so he hurried to Gu Yunru and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Gu Yunru looked at Cheng Shaoyuan who was carefully protecting her. His hair was a little messy. Seeing him like this, she couldn't help laughing. Hearing Yaya crying, Gu Yunru touched the tears on her face. She didn't expect the little girl to be so angry when she saw her. She roared at her like a lion with its fur standing on end: "You are the one who killed my father!"

As he spoke, a pair of small pink fists came towards her chest. Gu Yunru stood there in a daze, looking at the man lying on the ground, already breathless, feeling a little guilty.

Shen Aojun asked the policeman beside him to quickly take the little girl away. Looking at Gu Yunru's shocked expression, he pressed her arm and said, "Yunru, you have to think of a solution."

"I..." Gu Yunru had not yet come to her senses. After gradually waking up, she held the man's chin and watched his mouth gradually turn black. His teeth were slightly yellow and uneven. She looked at his nostrils, touched his chest, tore open his clothes, and found that there were many black pigments on his body. What was going on?

The messenger brought the bowl of porridge the man drank to Gu Yunru for inspection. Gu Yunru took a silver needle and probed inside. He found that the silver needle quickly turned black. It seemed that someone had coated it with poison.

The initial diagnosis was that it was a strong poison such as arsenic or frost. The symptoms would appear immediately after taking it, and there would be no room for rescue.

"Yunru, do you know what the reason is?" Shen Aojun asked from the side. Everyone was very panicked after this incident. They saw her running to Zhou Peng to check the porridge inside and found that there was no problem with the porridge.

But why did some people have mild diarrhea after drinking it, but this man died immediately after drinking it? Could it be that someone poisoned her in different proportions? Who was trying to harm her?

Cheng Shaoyuan came behind Gu Yunru with a serious expression and whispered to her, "Zhou Peng cannot be set up for the next few days. We need to appease people first."

"But...there is nothing wrong with these things. What went wrong?"

Gu Yunru was confused and troubled by this question.

"Let the coroner perform an autopsy on the man's body. Maybe the porridge isn't the cause." Although Cheng Shaoyuan believed that Gu Yunru would never do such a thing.

"Yes, it may not be because of the porridge. Besides, another batch was distributed during the day and all the refugees drank it without any problems. Why did the problem occur with the batch distributed at noon? I think someone must have done it on purpose."

Shen Aojun knew from a young age that people's hearts were treacherous. She had met very few people with a pure heart like Gu Yunru. It was possible that some people who were not refugees at all had poured into the refugees and were using this as an opportunity to oppose the imperial court.

After hearing the two's analysis, Gu Yunru's heart began to pound.

"Really? I hope you're not trying to comfort me."

Gu Yunru was terrified and thought of Yaya. She looked at Cheng Shaoyuan and said, "You should treat that little girl well. She has already lost her father and is already pitiful enough. Don't bully her."

"Don't worry, I will take care of this matter." Cheng Shaoyuan checked the nearby porridge and found that there was nothing wrong with the porridge water, but the bowl of porridge this person drank contained poison, similar to arsenic, and frost had very strong medicinal properties.

Others suffered only mild diarrheal symptoms, which were not life-threatening.

Some refugees took this opportunity to incite riots. Huang Zijun led his troops to suppress them and soon put an end to the conflict. He also arrested several spies who had mixed up with them.

After investigating the poison incident, it was found that it was done by these spies in order to stir up dissatisfaction among the refugees and make them oppose the court.

As for who accused them, these guys suddenly committed suicide by taking poison, and the truth became clear.

Rong Zhen was sitting at his desk and heard the news reported by Qingfeng. He didn't expect that after four or five days, someone would die. Gu Yunru just liked to waste his energy on these unimportant things, and he had long been accustomed to it.

"Your Highness...The princess is now contacting medical clinics in major cities to cure the seriously ill refugees."

"Let her do whatever she wants. The key is to settle down these ordinary people."
