"you're lying."
He was so frightened that he immediately asked the boy next to him to see the color of his tongue.
When the boy saw it, he looked panicked and said, "Young Master, your tongue is really purple."
At this time, Yun Huaze was so frightened that he threw the lollipop on the ground and cried "Wow". (இдஇ; )
"Quickly tell me, doctor, what are you doing here blindly?"
While her younger brother was crying, Yun Zhishu winked at her personal maid Yun Xiaoyu, and the two of them walked to the big tree in the courtyard.
"Immediately send a few people out and ask them to spread the word in major cities that the candies given out by the princess for free are poisonous and will change the color of your tongue if you eat them."
"Let them be visible and not reveal their identity."
"Okay, miss."
Soon after, rumors began to spread in the capital that the candies given out for free by the princess were poisonous and would change the color of the tongue if eaten.
After eating candies, many children found that their tongues had changed colors, including purple, orange, red, and yellow. They were so frightened that they cried non-stop just like Yun Huaze.
Some adults dragged their children to the hospital without stopping.
Some ran to the government, intending to report the matter to the official. They didn't care whether the person giving them candy was the noble princess. As the saying goes, the emperor broke the law and the common people were equally guilty.
Su Lele, who had returned from delivering the candies, was drinking tea and reading miscellaneous books.
While she was looking at it, Qiu Yu ran in with a panicked look on her face: "Miss, something really big happened this time. Several officials came from the government and asked you to go to the government for questioning."
After hearing this, Su Lele was puzzled! When did she break the law? Didn't she just do something good?
At this time, the housekeeper walked into Yanyu Pavilion with several official servants.
"Princess, please come back to the government with us. Many people came to the government to report that their children were poisoned after eating the candies you distributed for free."
Su Lele was shocked. When had she been poisoned? She had tasted the candies she made. She was completely fine. She was still alive and kicking now.
At this time, Qiu Yu rushed to retort: "They are talking nonsense, how can it be poisonous! I have eaten it too, do you think I am in trouble? It seems that next time I will not be so kind and give it to them for free, hum!"
Several officials looked embarrassed. They were afraid that the princess would not cooperate.
"My concubine, I am not afraid of shadows. I will cooperate with you to visit the government office and will not embarrass you."
One of the officials said respectfully: "Thank you for your cooperation, Princess."
"Qiu Yu, let's go, we are not afraid."
"Yes, we are not afraid."
When Su Lele walked out of the palace gate, he found many people watching the excitement. Some of the customers planned to come to the palace to buy snacks. After hearing about this, they were too scared to go in and buy.
It seems that this matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible. It is a big deal if it affects her fortune!
Standing at the gate of the government office, Su Lele sighed in her heart: She had never entered the public security bureau in modern times, but she actually dedicated her damn first time to the ancient government office.
Fortunately, the place where I was invited to drink tea was the government and not the Dali Temple. If it had been the Dali Temple, it would have been embarrassing.
The scene that she simply couldn't imagine was: the prince in charge of Dali Temple interrogating his own princess in person.
At this time, the inner hall of the Yamen was crowded.
Since she was a princess, she did not have to kneel during the interrogation and could sit on a chair next to her.
Lord Prefect: "Princess, you are distributing candies for free in major cities this afternoon. Is there anything wrong with this?"
"Um."
"Many people came to report to the officials, saying they were poisoned after eating the candies you gave them."
Calm Su Lele: "Did they have any symptoms? Did they have any symptoms such as headache, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain?"
"This... I was in a hurry just now. I haven't had time to ask them yet, but I have already invited the doctor and he is already on his way."
After the prefect finished speaking, he called the group of common people who came to report to the official: "Is your little one feeling uncomfortable now?"
"Maybe not……"
"Yeah, I just saw him crying, but I didn't see him saying anything uncomfortable."
"The only symptom is that the tongue turns red."
Su Lele, who was listening to them carefully, captured important information.
"You mean, your child's tongue has turned red."
"Yes, I heard from others that this is a symptom of poisoning."
Su Lele then asked other people and heard that their children's tongues turned red, orange, yellow, or purple after eating lollipops.
At this time, Su Lele could be described as dumbfounded. How could this be called poisoning?
Tongue discoloration is caused by natural pigments contained in fruits.
How could she explain natural pigments to them?
"Master Taishou, I already know what's going on. None of their children have been poisoned. The candies they eat are made of various fruits. The tongue turns red because the candies are made from watermelon juice. It’s orange because the candy is made with orange juice.”
After everyone heard about it, they started discussing it.
"I usually don't pay attention to whether my tongue changes color when I eat fruit, otherwise I would know whether the princess is right or not."
"It seems to make sense."
"..."
At this time, Xu Sen took his younger brother and knelt in the middle of the inner hall, facing the prefect.
"Sir, I believe that the princess did not poison anyone. I also got a lollipop from the princess on the streets of Xicheng District today. He ate the grape-flavored one, and now his tongue is purple, but there is no discomfort. But Xiaomin found that his purple tongue now looks not as dark as before."
Su Lele added on the side: "The color will become lighter as you drink water or eat something. It is estimated that the tongue color will return to normal tomorrow."
At this time, the doctor came and began to treat these little kids who had eaten lollipops non-stop.
Half an hour later, the doctor said, "Go back to the governor, none of these babies have been poisoned, and there are no uncomfortable symptoms."
Finally the truth came out, and Su Lele was safe and sound and could return home.
Su Lele smiled slightly at Xu Sen: "Xu Sen, thank you for coming to the government to testify for me."
Xu Sen: "That's right. The princess has never poisoned anyone, and she is kind enough to give free candies to children. Naturally, the people will come to testify for you, and the little brother praised the princess for the delicious candies you made. .”
Su Lele said to Qiu Yu, "I'll go back later and order someone to bring some candies and snacks to Xu Sen's house."
"Princess, there is no need to give me gifts..."
"Just accept it! Do your best in the future."
"must."
Not long after Su Lele returned to Yijingge Villa, Leng Yichen, who was tired of travel, also rushed back from the suburbs.
He was originally working in the suburbs when he heard a cold call coming to report that the princess had been summoned for questioning by an official. Someone reported that the candy made by the princess was poisoned after eating it.
After hearing this, he rode back without hesitation.
