I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

After Liu Qin said this, he turned around and left.

In addition, he also didn't believe that Lin Chen had any good ideas to drive away the locust plague in the city.

Lin Chen smiled slightly at this.

Later he asked **An and a few others to accompany him out of the imperial city to catch grasshoppers.

……

At night, a black curtain covered the sky.

In the courtyard outside the imperial palace.

Liu Qin looked at Lin Chen in front of him with a wicked smile.

"It's already evening, Mr. Lin, what good plan have you come up with?!"

"You must understand that the princess followed your advice and has already allocated the entire two million taels of silver from the national treasury to the disaster victims in the Jiangzhong area!"

"The national treasury is empty, and there's no money left to aid the victims elsewhere. Even outside the city, some rice crops have been eaten by locusts!"

At this time, Lin Chen looked out the window, as if waiting for someone.

Liu Qin was instantly furious.

"Boy, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, ** An walked in hurriedly.

He was also holding a bowl with some long strips of meat in it, like ants, golden in color.

After Liu Qinqian took a look, he immediately understood what it was.

He shouted in shock: "Locusts?!"

Then, in front of everyone, Lin Chen chewed the fried locusts in the bowl with big mouthfuls and fed them into his stomach.

“This is my way!”

Lin Chen spoke frankly.

When the princess saw this scene, she was a little dumbfounded.

Including ** An and others, they were all shocked.

"Brother Lin, you just asked me to fry locusts, but you actually wanted to eat them?!"

**An looked at the scene in disbelief.

Lin Chen ate the locusts in the bowl with a look of enjoyment.

He said, "If you don't want to eat it, why would I ask you to fry it?"

In a short while, Lin Chen ate all the locusts in the bowl.

Then the princess also plucked up the courage to ask the other party: "Is this thing really edible?"

Lin Chen nodded and said that there was no harm in eating this thing.

Then the princess frowned and said, "Then what should I do!"

Lin Chen put down the bowl in his hand and told him the solution.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Qin heard this, he became furious instantly.

"presumptuous!"

"The princess's body is worth a fortune, yet you actually let her eat locusts in front of all the city's citizens and officials. This is outrageous!"

"Whether locusts are poisonous or not is still unknown. How can the princess, a princess of her wealth, eat something like that?"

Lin Chen asked the other party, "Then please tell me, Lord Liu, the national treasury is empty and there is no financial resources to save the city from the locust crisis. What solutions do you have?"

After these words, Liu Qin was suddenly speechless.

The princess then looked at Lin Chen and asked, "Is this really the only way?"

Lin Chen nodded and said, "This is the safest method I can think of!"

The princess pondered for a long time before finally making up her mind.

"Then I'll do as you say. Three days later, in the Imperial City, in front of all the people, I will personally eat this locust!"

She knew that if the locust plague was not handled properly, the Crown Prince would definitely take advantage of it, and her position as regent might be lost.

"Princess, you are worth a fortune, how can you eat something like this in front of the entire city? There must be another way!"

Liu Qin was still trying to persuade the princess.

After all, the latter's identity is there. Eating this thing in front of the people of the whole city is really a loss of face.

"Alright, the matter has been settled, no need to discuss it anymore!"

After the princess finished speaking, she left the room with Lin Chen.

As for Liu Qin, his eyes flickered and no one knew what he was thinking.

……

Three days later, it was a sunny morning.

At this time, in the center of the imperial city, there was a stone platform built by the guards.

At this time, a large number of people gathered around, all of them were citizens in the imperial city.

They came here because they heard that Princess Danyang had a way to solve the locust plague in the city.

"What do you think Princess Danyang is going to do to solve the locust plague in the city?"

"It should be disaster relief food. After all, because of the locusts, the rice harvest outside the city is poor!"

"But I heard there's a locust plague in the Jiangzhong area. The national treasury has already allocated a large sum of money. How can they provide us with disaster relief food now?!"

Everyone was talking about it.

Just as Princess Danyang stepped onto the stone platform, the prince came uninvited.

He slowly came up to the latter and said with a malicious smile on his face.

"I heard that the imperial sister recently allocated one million taels to help alleviate the disaster in the river. How generous!"

"But as far as I know, there shouldn't be any silver left in the national treasury right now. So what exactly are you planning to do with all this fanfare today?"

The princess knew that the other party was trying to take advantage of her misfortune, so she was naturally not polite when she spoke.

"Let's not talk about what I'm going to do for now!"

"It's you, my royal brother, who are well-informed. Did you come here today just to see me make a fool of myself?"

The prince feigned innocence and said, "You have wronged me!"

"I'm worried that you won't be able to finish this soon. After all, a locust plague is no ordinary disaster. If you don't handle it well, and someone with ulterior motives reports it, that won't be good!"

The princess didn't want to pay any attention to him, and then said, "Don't bother me, my royal brother!"

After saying this, she climbed onto the stone platform alone.

As for the prince, he had a sneer on his face.

"Since you don't want to take my respect, I want to see how you can drive away the locusts in the city!"

At this moment, the princess came to the stone platform, facing the people in the city and the officials of all ranks in the court.

A little later, several servants brought in several plates with freshly fried locusts.

After the locusts were placed on the table in front of them, Lin Chen, who was next to the princess, explained to everyone.

"In fact, these locusts are not pests, but beneficial insects!"

"I know you've all been suffering from the locust plague these days!"

"I have a way to destroy this thing right now!"

After saying that, Lin Chen started eating the locusts raw in front of everyone.

Unexpectedly, when the people around saw this scene, they were all shocked.

Then he said even more crazily: "This guy is crazy, he even dares to eat locusts!"

"This guy is absolutely crazy. Besides, what if the locusts are poisonous..."

At this time, Lin Chen had already eaten dozens of fried locusts on the plate.

"Everyone, do you see that this locust is edible?"

"And it's non-toxic, so you can eat it with confidence!"

Lin Chen explained to everyone.

Unexpectedly, the people around refused and said, "If you want to eat locusts, eat them yourself. Don't harm us!"

"We won't eat this!"

"Yep!"

Seeing that his actions were insignificant, Lin Chen could only ask for help from the princess beside him.

Seeing this, the princess could only suppress her nausea, walked forward, took a fried locust from the plate, and was about to swallow it.
