The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed

After saying that, he looked at Yun Jin who was standing beside him and asked, "Where are the things?"

When Shopkeeper Ji heard this, he had a bad feeling in his heart, but when he thought that he had already reminded him and that those things had been resolved, he felt relieved.

Long Shang and Tang Shi had already guessed what Gu Lingyue was talking about, but neither of them said anything and let Gu Lingyue perform.

"Yun Shu is watching it. I will go get it now."

When her princess asked them to go to the kitchen to look for clues, as soon as they arrived, they found two kitchen servants carrying a basket and trying to leave through the back door, but they were stopped by them.

There were some frictions during the period, but she and Yunshu both had martial arts skills, so how could they let them succeed? They subdued them in one encounter.

"No, I'll go with you."

After saying that, he looked at Tang and Long Shang, "Mother, you and the prince wait here. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Ji hurriedly stopped him and said, "The kitchen is so fumy, how can we let you in? Tell me what you want, I..."

"No need." Shopkeeper Ji was about to say something when he was interrupted coldly by Gu Lingyue.

Long Shang said gently, "Go ahead. I'm here to talk to my mother-in-law."

Gu Lingyue frowned. This person was really very familiar with others.

At this time, Tang also smiled and nodded. Seeing that her daughter and the prince had such a good relationship, she felt relieved. She just didn't know when the prince's illness would be cured. It would be even better if he could give her a grandson.

At this time, Gu Lingyue had no idea what Tang was thinking. She had already followed Yun Jin to the back kitchen. Manager Ji hesitated for a moment, looked at Long Shang who was sitting there, and followed obediently.

After arriving at the kitchen, I saw two waiters lying on the ground with frustrated looks on their faces, while Qiu Tong and Yun Shu were still struggling with something.

"How's the search going?" Gu Lingyue asked.

Qiu Tong and Yun Shu heard their princess' voice, stopped what they were doing, and walked over. Yun Shu even kicked the guy who was blocking her way.

"Get out of the way. Didn't you see my princess is here?"

The guy's face was covered with tears. He also wanted to open it, but the problem was, Auntie, you untied my acupoint.

"We found some meat and some other things." Yun Shu said.

"There's also some cooked meat, seemingly left over from some guests," Qiu Tong added.

Gu Lingyue walked towards the place where the meat was kept. At this time, sweat had appeared on the forehead of Shopkeeper Ji. He glared fiercely at the two shop assistants lying on the ground and cursed in his heart: Useless things, you can't even do such a small thing.

At this time, Gu Lingyue smelled the odor of rotten meat before she even got there, and the meat was green in color, which made people feel sick at the sight.

Gu Lingyue's face turned cold.

She turned around and looked at Manager Ji, who was wiping his forehead with his sleeve.

Gu Lingyue asked sarcastically, "Is Shopkeeper Ji very hot?"

"No... not hot." After saying that, he seemed to think of something and said awkwardly, "It's still a little hot."

Gu Lingyue snorted coldly, "Tell me, what's going on with this meat?"

"This... this is the meat that is going to be thrown away..." His voice became lower and lower, and finally he fell silent.

Gu Lingyue sneered, "Thrown away?"

As he said that, he kicked him over and said, "Who the hell are you kidding? You actually said that all this stinky meat was thrown away. Why didn't you buy more in the first place? Doesn't this meat cost money?

No wonder this restaurant isn't making any money. It's all because of people like you who've ruined it. I'll have someone calculate how many pounds of meat this basket is, and how many years you've worked in this restaurant. Three hundred and sixty-five days a year, I'll pay you the full price."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Shu and the others and said, "See if there's anything else they bought too much and discarded. Based on the 365 days in a year, make him pay for how many years he worked. If he doesn't pay, report it to the authorities. I think the authorities will give His Majesty a favor."

Yun Jin and the others smiled and said, "Yes, we will check it right away."

At this time, Manager Ji's face was pale and his whole body was trembling.

He has worked in this restaurant for more than ten years. If he loses all the money, he won't be able to afford it even if he goes bankrupt. Besides, not all the money goes into his pocket. He just takes a small portion of it. He can't be the one who gets taken advantage of.

Shopkeeper Ji knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Please, Princess, have mercy on me. I will tell you everything."

"Speak." Gu Lingyue spat out a word coldly.

"These were all Qi Zian's ideas. He thought using good meat was too expensive. This kind of meat only costs four or five coins per pound, so this would save a lot of money. I disagreed at first, but he is the son of the chief steward after all, so I couldn't refuse, so I had to..."

"Bullshit, using rotten meat instead of good meat, how could he come up with this idea? What will happen if we eat bad people like this? Ah?" Gu Lingyue slapped the table, causing the dishes and chopsticks to jump around. Manager Ji shrank back in fear and didn't dare to say anything more.

"Where is Qi Zian? And who is the head shopkeeper? Where is he now?" Gu Lingyue knew that Shopkeeper Ji might not be telling the truth, but Qi Zian must have been involved.

"The... the head manager is Qi Chong, and Qi Zian is his son." Manager Ji said stutteringly.

Gu Lingyue didn't expect that Qi Chong had a son. She was so angry that she laughed. This family was sucking their blood!

At this moment, Yun Hao walked in carrying a fat man in his early twenties, and threw the man to the ground with a "bang".

Gu Lingyue looked at Yun Hao, and Yun Hao explained, "This man is Qi Zian. He was about to escape, but was caught by my subordinates."

After saying that, he looked at Yun Jin, and Yun Jin rolled her eyes at him.

There's nothing to be proud of about catching an embezzler. How childish!

Qi Zian got up from the ground and kowtowed to Gu Lingyue repeatedly, "Please forgive me this time, Princess. I will never dare to do it again..."

Gu Lingyue ignored him and praised Yun Hao, "I was just about to look for this person, but I didn't expect you to catch him. You really helped me a lot."

Yun Hao scratched his head embarrassedly, "Actually, it was the prince who asked me to follow the shop assistants, so I was able to catch him. It was the prince's brilliant plan."

Gu Lingyue smiled and said, "Thank you too. I'll treat you to a meal later."

"Really?" Yun Hao's eyes lit up. "Then can we eat that 'Beggar's Chicken'?"

Last time, his princess made two and sent them to Uncle Wang. Coincidentally, he had something to ask Uncle Wang, so he had the chance to eat half of it. It was so delicious!

Yun Shu gave him a look of disdain. Was he waiting here? Really? He actually dared to ask the princess to cook for him. It would be disgraceful if the master found out. However, the beggar's chicken made by the princess was really delicious. She also wanted to eat it again.

So, Yun Shu also looked at Gu Lingyue with longing.

Gu Lingyue looked at everyone with amusement and said, "You all made great contributions this time, so you all get to eat."

"Thank you, Princess." Yun Shu and others thanked in unison.

Gu Lingyue nodded and looked at Shopkeeper Ji who had turned into a puddle of mud and Qi Zian who was kowtowing continuously. Since the matter was clear and it involved the issue of poisoning, she didn't need to interrogate them anymore. She just asked Yun Hao to send them to the government and let the government deal with it.

Tang had the restaurant closed and would decide whether to reopen it or do something else later. She also asked Wenxiu to send compensation money to the victims, and then the group headed towards the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
