Chapter 832: Poisoning

"Go, bring that idiot back to the palace, and drive him to the villa in Huangshan County for me. Don't let me see him again!"

King Ping stood up, flicked his sleeves angrily and walked out.

"I'll go right away!"

Eunuch Chen bowed towards his back, then went downstairs with a depressed look on his face, squeezed through the crowd and walked to the entrance of the supermarket.

At this time, the fat steward Chen Sanfei was still furious:

"Quick! Quickly catch this ignorant little girl..."

"Snapped!"

A loud slap interrupted the fat steward's shouting.

"Who! Which bastard dares to hit... Uncle, why is it you? Did the prince ask you to help catch this little bitch? Hurry up..."

"Chen Sanfei, are you possessed by a ghost? Why are you making trouble in broad daylight? Stay away, I will settle the score with you later!"

Eunuch Chen's fierce look blocked the fat steward's words that were about to come out, and he stepped aside with a puzzled look on his face.

After Eunuch Chen scolded his nephew harshly, he immediately turned around and put on a smile, bending down and bowing to Qiao Ran:

"Great Doctor Qiao, I apologize on behalf of the steward of the palace for your recklessness. I will punish him later. No matter what, you are a great doctor praised by everyone, and you also saved the emperor by chance. With such superb medical skills, you should not mistakenly sell poisonous fruits. There must be some misunderstanding. Why don't you come to Prince Ping's palace and have a seat so that we can investigate the truth of this matter together."

Qiao Ran glanced at the old eunuch with a white face and no beard, thinking that he was worthy of being the steward who was valued by King Ping. It seemed that he was trying to reconcile the conflict with these few words and seemed to want to sit down and have a good chat.

But we are clearly at the entrance of Qiao's shop now, and there is a teahouse opposite. Why should we go to Prince Ping's mansion to discuss business?

Aren’t you trying to trick yourself into Prince Ping’s Mansion first?

I already have a grudge against King Ping, and once I leave, I'm afraid I'll never have a chance to get out again.

If he could not come forward to clarify the matter, the Shenxian Valley Supermarket would not be able to clear itself of the suspicion of selling poisonous fruits and vegetables that harmed people, which would arouse the anger of the people in Beijing and naturally it would not be able to continue operating. It would be easy for Prince Ping's Mansion to seize the shop.

Qiao Ran sneered:

"You are the chief steward of Prince Ping's mansion, right? Since Steward Chen brought so many people to cause trouble, you can't have just realized it now. Why are you pretending to be so high and mighty? The truth of the matter can be resolved here. Why do we have to sit down and talk in Prince Ping's mansion? Those who were 'invited' into Prince Ping's mansion in the past, I'm afraid, rarely walk out again, right? I don't want to walk in and lie out."

Eunuch Chen smiled with a fake smile:

"You're kidding. Prince Ping's Mansion isn't a den of dragons or tigers. How can it be that scary? I just want to discuss the truth of this matter with you so that I can clear your shop of suspicion as soon as possible."

Qiao Ran waved her hand: "No need, let's make it clear here, so that no one can do something behind your back and turn white into black."

After saying this, she turned to the fat steward who was standing behind Eunuch Chen with a sullen look on his face:

"You said that the person on the ground died of poisoning after eating mulberries from my house. Can you say it again with certainty?"

The fat steward looked at the gloomy eunuch Chen, then looked at the man who had long since died on the ground, stiffened his neck, and nodded affirmatively:

"I'm sure! Wang Baogui was poisoned by the mulberries he bought from your shop! Otherwise, why did Wang Baogui die suddenly when everyone else had the same meal last night? Look at his lips, they are purple and black, and there is vomit around his lips. These are all symptoms of poisoning. You are a great doctor, it is impossible that you can't see it."

Qiao Ran glanced at the corpse on the ground and nodded:

"Yes, this person did die of poisoning, and the time of death was indeed between last night and early this morning."
