She held Yuanxi even tighter, her heart aching even more.

However, they still needed to deal with the trouble at hand, so she handed Yuanxi over to Feng Tianlan.

Yuanxi clung tightly to her neck and refused to let go.

In times like these, children would instinctively seek their mother’s comfort.

Was Yuanxi terribly frightened?

Gu Qingluan felt a dense and painful sensation in her heart as she shook her head at Feng Tianlan and said, “I’ll hold him.”

Feng Tianlan replied, “Give him to me. These people are being manipulated right now, and they all want to confront you for an explanation.”

He believed that at this moment, Gu Qingluan would probably want to handle the situation personally.

He whispered to Yuanxi, “Yuanxi, you’re not an ordinary child. Be brave and remember what 1 taught you before. Show your mother that you’re not a coward.”

Yuanxi sniffled and said with determination, “I’m not a coward!”

His grip on Gu Qingluan’s arm slowly loosened as Feng Tianlan took him into his arms.

Gu Qingluan looked at Yuanxi with approving eyes.

He smiled at her, though there was a hint of reluctance in his smile.

“Mother, I’m fine. You don’t need to worry. Please help everyone else. Many people have been poisoned, and 1 don’t want to see anyone else die.”

Gu Qingluan gently squeezed his small hand and nodded solemnly, “Alright!”

Then, she turned around and signaled for Su Lie and the other guards to step back.

Those who had been grateful to her before were now looking at her with anger, some even began to question and berate her. The scene became chaotic.

Gu Qingluan understood their feelings.

After all, they were all victims, and even those who hadn’t consumed the poisoned porridge felt that if others hadn’t fallen ill, they might have ingested the tainted food as well. Therefore, she didn’t direct her anger towards them.

She spoke in a serious tone, “Everyone, please calm down. The most important thing right now is to save lives. Let’s not delay the opportunity to rescue people due to impulsive actions!”

“Save people? My sister died after drinking your porridge. How can you save her? Can you bring the dead back to life?”

A young man wearing shorts questioned emotionally. He held his abdomen in pain, his eyes turning red.

“Just so, can you revive the dead? You’re not divine beings; you can’t bring the dead back to life. What’s the use of talking so much?”

“Those siblings depended on each other, and now that the sister is gone, the brother is left all alone. How pitiful!”

“After drinking your porridge and having problems, to be honest, who would dare to be treated by you? Maybe we were lucky not to die from the porridge, but if we take your medicine, we might be poisoned to death!”

“Yeah, if porridge can be poisoned, isn’t medicine even easier to use for poisoning?”

The crowd, which had just quieted down, started to become restless again.

“Everyone, please stay calm. Let’s trust that the Guardian Princess of the Nation will give us an explanation.”

People who were joining in on the commotion actively helped Gu Qingluan maintain order.

Perhaps those directly involved were confused, but those on the sidelines had a clearer perspective.

The individuals who did not come for the sake of receiving porridge from the Gu family naturally had no risk of food poisoning, allowing them to remain more level-headed.

Nobody had expected a well-intentioned act of providing porridge to turn into a large-scale poisoning incident.

However, they believed that Gu Qingluan would not sacrifice the greater good for a small gain.

Not to mention that Gu Qingluan’s current status and reputation were unparalleled. Even if she genuinely wanted to gain a good reputation by distributing porridge, she wouldn’t use low-quality or spoiled ingredients to cook it just to save money.

Did these poor people even know about Gu Qingluan’s current wealth?

Rumors had it that she personally reclaimed all the dowry her mother had left her from the Gu family.

Her mother was the richest woman in Tianjing, and her dowry was vast. The Gu family’s actions were so unseemly because the dowry was too substantial to ignore.

Not to mention the Emperor’s multiple rewards.

After adding all of those together, it was surely an unimaginable wealth for ordinary people.

Furthermore, Gu Qingluan’s own strength is so formidable that she can easily amass wealth at her fingertips if she wishes.

Just in Tianjing, which was not a large place, there were so many wealthy individuals who tried to win her favor with money, only to be rejected by her!

Was it necessary to ruin one’s reputation for such a small amount of money?

Unfortunately, these people seem to be bewitched, losing all reason and causing a big commotion. They even came close to harming the young master.

Did they not realize that he was the apple of the Guardian Princess of the Nation’s eye? If they harmed him, could they escape unscathed?

While these people appeared foolish, those with sharp minds immediately recognized an opportunity.

Taking this chance to protect Gu Qingluan and her son, wouldn’t that make her think favorably of them?

Previously, they had tried to befriend Gu Qingluan but failed. Now, this opportunity was too rare to pass up!

Regardless of their motives, at least those who actively protected her and her child in this moment left a good impression on her.

She quickly scanned the crowd, taking note of everyone’s reactions, who was showing goodwill, who was causing trouble, who was trying to provoke, and who was merely being used as a pawn. She had it all figured out in her mind..
