"Yes." Uncle Fu agreed and followed Huo Bingbing closely.

hall.

The hall was filled with the bodies of more than a dozen maids. Without exception, they all died with foam at the mouth and blood gushing from all their orifices. The scene was very shocking.

All the people in the palace came out to watch. They were furious when they saw this scene and cursed the person who poisoned them...

"Which bastard took advantage of the prince's absence to bully our palace?"

"That's right. Such a despicable method as poisoning was actually used in the palace. It's too abominable."

"They are just bullying the prince because he is not in Youzhou. If the prince were here, they would not have the courage to do this even if they were given a water tank."

At this time, Huo Bingbing and Uncle Fu came in a hurry. The servants seemed to have found their backbone. They rushed forward and surrounded Huo Bingbing, saying...

"Princess, you are finally here. Please take a quick look. They have all died of poisoning. What should we do? Can they be saved?"

It was said that the elixir in the princess's hand could bring the dead back to life. Could these people who died of poisoning be saved? They were very confused.

Huo Bingbing stepped forward and felt their pulses, and found that although they appeared dead, their heartbeats were still there, which meant that they were not completely dead and could still be saved.

So, she quickly took out a bottle of elixir from her arms and asked Uncle Fu to feed each of them a pill. After about ten seconds, their eyelids moved, and they slowly opened their eyes, looking at everyone with a blank look on their faces.

"Oh, they're alive, they're really alive." Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but cheering, saying that the princess's elixir was so effective, no wonder it could be sold for so much money.

"The miracle drug is indeed a miracle drug. No wonder it can be sold for tens of millions per pill."

"Princess, you are amazing."

"I've decided to follow the princess for the rest of my life. If I die accidentally one day, the princess can feed me a magic pill and I'll be alive again. This deal is a great bargain."

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in unison, agreeing with this statement very much.

"Princess, Uncle Fu, why am I lying on the ground?" One of the maids got up from the ground in confusion, then subconsciously raised her arm to wipe the corner of her mouth, and found blood, and immediately exclaimed...

"Ah! Why am I vomiting blood?"

"Princess, Uncle Fu, am I dying?" It was not until this time that she remembered that before she fell into a coma, her stomach hurt a lot, and then she knew nothing.

Huo Bingbing told her that they had been poisoned just now, but they had been detoxified now, so they could rest assured.

Only then did the dozen or so maids realize that they had just been to the gates of hell. They could not help but break out in a cold sweat and knelt on the ground to thank the princess for saving their lives.

Huo Bingbing: "Don't kneel anymore, stand up. The reason you were poisoned is because you ate our food. The responsibility lies with us, so don't thank me."

Afterwards, Huo Bingbing asked Uncle Fu to block the news and tell the public that the princess and the five young masters were poisoned to death in order to expose the mastermind behind the incident.

Then he sent someone to the restaurant to find out who placed the order?

When the restaurant owner heard that the food sent to the palace was poisoned and had poisoned the princess, he felt as if the sky was falling. His legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, unable to hold back his tears, cursing as he cried...

"That damned little bastard, no wonder he is so ugly, it turns out he is really ugly but has a vicious heart. I didn't expect him to be so vicious at such a young age, actually pretending to be from the palace and poisoning the princess."

"Sir, this is none of my business. I was deceived. Please, don't close my restaurant. Please don't close my restaurant."

The officer sneered and said, "You killed the princess and several young masters, and you still want to open a restaurant? You should think about how long you can live."

The shopkeeper was terrified: "Are you going to kill me?"

Officers and soldiers: "You have murdered the princess and several young masters. Even if we let you go, the prince will not forgive you when he comes back. If you die now, you can die happily. When the prince comes back, you will be miserable. You will be unable to die and unable to live. That is painful."

After saying this, he waved his hand and had the shopkeeper and all the cooks and servants taken back for investigation.

At this time, the restaurant was full of people watching the excitement, everyone was talking and talking...

"What happened to the restaurant? Why are there so many soldiers here? They're arresting people and sealing off the restaurant. What on earth happened?"

"I heard that something happened in the palace. The food in the restaurant was poisoned. The princess and several young masters were poisoned to death."

"What? Something like this happened? Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise how could the soldiers close the store and arrest people?"

"No, isn't it said that the elixir can bring the dead back to life? Why did the princess and several young masters die? It doesn't make sense!"

"Have you forgotten? At the auction the day before yesterday, that damn thief Xiao Cheng sold out all of the princess's elixirs. Now that the princess wants to save her life, there is naturally no medicine."

"This damn Xiao Cheng should be cut into pieces."

"He is a scourge, a perpetrator of evil. He killed his grandfather who raised him with great difficulty, and also killed his benefactor. He is not a human being at all."

Everyone was filled with indignation and cursed.

They didn't notice at all that there was a short figure in the crowd. When he heard these words, the corners of his mouth raised and he smiled triumphantly.

This is the result he wants.

That’s right, this short man is Xiao Cheng. He did not immediately go to find the mysterious man and leave Youzhou, but went to the grocery store and bought a lot of firecrackers.

Suddenly, the sound of firecrackers resounded throughout Youzhou.

The princess and several young masters had just gotten into trouble, and the people of the entire Youzhou were sad. When someone set off firecrackers at this time, it sounded like something serious. Long Yi was prepared and immediately sent people to catch them.

Just like that, Xiao Cheng was caught red-handed.

"Why are you arresting me? I haven't broken any law, let me go, let me go." His hands were twisted behind his back by two soldiers. He opened his mouth and roared angrily while struggling.

Long Yi's eyes were like knives, staring at Xiao Cheng tightly, and asked: "The princess and a few young masters just got into trouble, and you set off firecrackers to celebrate. Tell me, was it you who poisoned them?"

At this time, Xiao Cheng was finally scared. If he had listened to the mysterious man, he would have left Youzhou as soon as he succeeded. But now he was caught. What should he do?

Of course, he was not stupid and knew that he could not admit such a thing, otherwise, he would die.

He started to act innocent, saying that he was just a child and didn't know anything and that he set off firecrackers just for fun.

Long Yi saw that the boy was short and indeed a little kid. However, he was not so easily fooled and he immediately brought the restaurant owner over to identify him.

When Xiao Cheng heard the shopkeeper coming to recognize someone, he started to act like a spoiled child again, saying that the shopkeeper had a grudge against him and might use his power to take revenge on him.

To Long Yi, who had solved countless cases, Xiao Cheng's clever trick was just a cover-up.

There is 100% no doubt that this person is the murderer.

Sure enough, when the shopkeeper saw Xiao Cheng, he immediately recognized him and said that he was the person who came to the restaurant to order food for the palace. He had stayed in the kitchen for a long time, so it must be him who poisoned the place.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Cheng panicked and immediately denied it, cursing the shopkeeper madly: "Shopkeeper, you old, sinister villain, you lied, I didn't order food for the palace, and I didn't poison it. I found a cockroach in my meal at your restaurant a few days ago, and you hold a grudge against me and framed me."

"You are so wicked. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

The shopkeeper was shocked when he heard these words. He never dreamed that this little brat in front of him was so young and could lie so easily. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He pointed at Xiao Cheng and said tremblingly...

"You little bastard, when did you eat at my restaurant and found a cockroach in your food? Don't talk nonsense."

"Also, I have never told a lie in my life. There were so many cooks in the kitchen at that time, and they can all testify for me."

Xiao Cheng is sharp-tongued and says that the chefs in the restaurant are all his people, so of course they will speak for him.

Just when the shopkeeper was extremely angry with Xiao Cheng, Huo Bingbing arrived in a carriage with her five children.

Of course, at this time, no one noticed them. They only saw the divine bird flapping its wings and flying out of the carriage.

After it circled over everyone's heads for a few times, it saw that Xiao Cheng was wearing a human skin mask. It spoke in human language and cursed in a shrill voice...

"You are such a jerk, you dare to act smart in front of me, you are courting death."

Just when everyone was confused and didn't know who the divine bird was scolding, it quickly flew in front of Xiao Cheng, stretched out its claws, and with a "swish" sound, it tore off the entire human skin mask on his face, revealing his true face.

Most of the people in Youzhou knew Xiao Cheng, and when they saw this scene, they understood everything.

Suddenly, curses were heard from the audience...

"Damn it, after all this time, it turns out that it was Xiao Cheng, that ungrateful bastard. He really deserves to die. Not only did he kill his grandfather, he also poisoned the princess and several young masters. This kind of scum deserves death a hundred times."

"Beat him." Someone in the crowd shouted.

The angry people seemed to be guided and rushed over angrily, punching and kicking Xiao Cheng.

"Ah!" Suddenly, a shrill scream was heard at the scene.

Long Yi watched from the side without stopping them until he saw the princess and several young masters getting off the carriage. He then waved his hand and ordered his men to stop them. Then, he turned around and saluted to Huo Bingbing and the five brothers and sisters of Huo Dong...

"I greet the princess and the five young masters."

"Well, no need to be polite." Huo Bingbing nodded calmly. When the onlookers saw the true faces of the mother and son, they were shocked and exclaimed in unison...

"Hey! Aren't these the princess and several young masters and young ladies? Didn't they say they died of poisoning? What's going on? Am I seeing a ghost in broad daylight?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? We all saw it. Did we also see a ghost?"

There were also wise people in the crowd. They seemed to see through everything. They turned around and shouted at everyone, "The princess and the young master and young lady are fine. This is a great joyous event for the people of Youzhou. Don't talk nonsense. It's broad daylight. How can this happen?"
