Teaming up with her mother to take revenge on the scumbags! The Crown Princess becomes the darling o
Chapter 55 Princess Changning's Trouble Has Arrived
"The mooncakes were delivered the next morning. My father even sent someone to praise me for being much more sensible. Then he instructed the steward to add more mooncakes as usual and send them to various mansions. Unexpectedly, other families also had these mooncakes. After eating them, they all developed rashes that wouldn't go away. I heard that it wasn't just the powerful and wealthy who were affected; some common people were also infected. So now the clinics are doing the best business in Bianzhou City. The Huaiyang Cake Shop has been shut down, the owner has been arrested, and all the employees are being held in jail and are being interrogated."
Her words were full of excitement, even though this involved many people.
A rash won't kill you, but it can make you irritable. When you're irritable, all sorts of dissatisfaction will naturally be aroused. This time, Princess Changning, don't even think about running away!
The thought of her cousin getting his revenge from the Crown Prince made her want to set off a few strings of firecrackers to cheer herself up!
He Lingyi was taken aback. She had guessed that this would happen, but she did not expect that the Crown Prince would be much more ruthless than she was. The number of orders meant the number of people involved, and the powerful and wealthy families were particularly hard hit.
From the masters to the servants.
Seven or eight out of ten people have fallen ill, each one scratching more fiercely than the last. The Imperial Hospital has been so busy preparing ointments to relieve itching and redness that many people have had to resort to cooling ice to relieve the itch.
The common people were alright, since even if this stuff was cheap, not everyone could afford it, so they shared it, which seemed to make their symptoms milder. In addition, after hearing about this, the Crown Prince opened the door to help and set up medicine distribution points in the four corners of the city. So the outbreak of the rash turned out to be a case where the common people did not suffer much, but the powerful and wealthy were scrambling for the medicine!
"The Marquis's residence wasn't affected, was it?"
"No."
"Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?"
He Lingyi reminded her, and then Chi Guiwan realized, "That's right, if everyone in the Marquis's mansion is fine, wouldn't outsiders start to suspect my uncle and aunt?"
Then he immediately slammed his hand on the table and stood up, saying to Qianchun.
"Go and bring me a few boxes of mooncakes. I'll eat them. If I get a rash, people will be less suspicious of the Marquis's mansion!"
Qianchun and Fudong also showed expressions of solidarity with their master, saying, "We'll eat with the young lady; the more people there are, the more convincing it will be to outsiders!"
What is a loyal servant? This is it.
Touched, Chi Guiwan took their hands and nodded.
"Okay, let's eat together!"
The three of them looked like they were ready to die, which moved He Lingyi, who was standing next to them, but also made him feel helpless. So he held down Qianchun and Fudong and then said.
"There's no need to torture yourself. Since His Highness the Crown Prince has come up with this method, he must have already thought of a countermeasure. I believe that news will soon be released that Princess Changning is the person behind Huaiyang Cake Shop. The Marquis's Mansion and Prince Jin's Mansion are irreconcilable enemies, so how could they possibly buy their products? Therefore, it's okay if you don't eat them!"
In short, let me explain it clearly.
Chi Guiwan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good!"
As expected, while many powerful and wealthy people fell victim to the virus, some people began to question why everyone in the Haibo Marquis's mansion was doing well.
But before these dissenting voices could spread much further, spontaneous crowds gathered around Prince Jin's residence, demanding justice from Princess Changning!
The owner behind the bakery is actually Princess Changning?
Haven't these powerful and wealthy people already taken enough from ordinary people? They even want to covet mooncakes, a seasonal food that families eat together during reunions?
The public was naturally outraged!
There were at least a thousand people surrounding the Prince's mansion, and the servants inside the mansion all came out to help, but even if they had three heads and six arms, they couldn't hold them off at this time.
Therefore, they specifically sought help from the city defense bureau.
A troop of garrison troops was mobilized to help guard the city. When a soldier drew his sword, the people immediately cursed him angrily.
"Has no one in your family developed a rash after eating these pancakes? You only target ordinary people, you're incompetent!"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers' expressions turned grim, so they only dared to watch from outside the Prince's Mansion, hoping not to cause trouble. However, they could not stop the common people from exercising their legitimate rights. After all, they also had superiors and families behind them. With everyone falling victim to this, few people had any goodwill towards the Prince Jin's Mansion.
"The Prince Jin's Mansion is truly arrogant for exploiting the people to this extent!"
"I heard that Princess Changning is just that kind of person. She never cares about the common people. If things hadn't blown up like this, she would have definitely made the bakery owner a scapegoat again!"
"No way! It's outrageous that someone would be so arrogant right under the emperor's nose!"
Then, fueled by their collective emotions, the crowd erupted into a violent riot, shouting "Apologize!"
The conversation traveled from all directions of the Prince's mansion; it could be heard clearly in the front courtyard, and slightly better in the back.
In Prince Jin's Mansion.
Inside the Duiyue Pavilion, where Princess Changning resided, the place was in complete disarray.
"Losers! Losers! Quickly have the servants in the manor disperse all those lowly people for me, and arrest any who dare to stand out and beat them to death! I refuse to believe that they can continue to slander me like this!"
The one who started cursing was naturally Princess Changning, who was particularly angry about the mooncake incident.
Huaiyang Bakery has been open for many years and has never had such a reputation-damaging incident. This time, no one knows who deliberately targeted her or the Prince Jin's Mansion, but they secretly replaced the nuts, causing many people in the city to get rashes!
When she received the news, the bakery had already been shut down.
The shopkeeper and all the workers were arrested, and the raw materials were also seized. After comparison, it was found that the problem was with their materials, which led to this incident.
For a moment, there was no room for argument!
If it were according to her usual temperament, she would have already made an example of those lowly people to deter others, but this time it involves many powerful and influential people, so none of those who usually speak up for her have shown up.
"One hand cannot clap," is her biggest feeling right now.
When Prince Jin entered the room, he saw his angry daughter, and his expression was not good either. Beside him was Princess Jin, whose expression was equally solemn. He quickly walked a few steps to Princess Changning's side and comforted her.
"What are you all doing, making the princess so angry? Hurry up and clean up!"
"Yes, Princess!"
Only after Princess Jin spoke did the maids kneeling on the ground dare to begin their work; otherwise, if any of them displeased the princess, they would be sent to be used as fertilizer.
"Changning, have you offended someone?"
Prince Jin asked directly, "This matter has escalated so quickly that anyone with eyes can see that someone must be stirring things up. However, there are so many powerful and influential people in Bianzhou City, and there are quite a few who could have facilitated this. Prince Jin really has no clue what to do for the time being, so he can only ask for an answer."
Princess Changning slammed her fist on the table in a fit of rage, her whole demeanor bordering on madness.
"Father, if I had known, how could I not have dealt with them? This is clearly meant to make me despised by everyone! Those lowly commoners at the gate must have been paid to do this! Just have a few of them killed, and then it will be quiet!"
