The wind on the summer night was stronger, making the trees in the yard rustle. Shen Wei raised her eyes, and a snow-white, slender figure appeared in her sight.
He was a young man in white with picturesque features and a very elegant demeanor.
Shen Wei was a little surprised, she thought that the world-famous "Dr. Mo" would be a white-haired old man. Unexpectedly, Doctor Mo looked so young, as if he was less than 20 years old, and was even more beautiful than a girl.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty." Doctor Mo bowed casually.
King Yan nodded slightly.
Doctor Mo strode into the room, passed through the tall white jade screen, and came in front of Li Yao. Doctor Mo bent down slightly, first glanced at the pool of vomit on the ground, then observed Li Yao's face, and finally took her pulse.
The room was quiet and no one dared to disturb.
The princess twisted the silk handkerchief in her hand and pondered over countermeasures in her mind. Li Yao was poisoned, and the real culprit behind the poisoning must be found tonight. It was either Chen Wei or one of the other concubines in the palace.
Anyway, someone will always take the blame and bear the responsibility for poisoning the prince's daughter.
"Bring the milk." Doctor Mo ordered.
Immediately a maid brought a bottle of milk.
Doctor Mo used milk to induce vomiting in Li Yao again. Then he took out the silver needles he carried with him, pricked several acupuncture points on Li Yao's body, and gave Li Yao a special pill to take. The series of actions flow smoothly.
After a moment, Doctor Mo slowly walked out from behind the screen and washed his hands in the basin. Doctor Mo wiped the water stains on his hands with a towel and said, "It's food poisoning."
This is what the princess was waiting for!
Tears welled up in the princess' eyes. She choked up and said to the King of Yan, "Your Highness, you must do something for Yao'er. She is only eight years old. Someone must have poisoned her food! This person is ruthless and must be severely punished if he is caught!"
King Yan fell into deep thought.
Who could it be? Attack Li Yao, an eight-year-old girl?
Of course, King Yan had already ruled out Shen Wei as the murderer in his mind.
Doctor Mo looked at the tearful princess and said slowly, "The little girl did have food poisoning. But according to my guess, no one poisoned her."
The princess was startled and was very dissatisfied with this quack doctor who appeared out of nowhere. She said in a rather dissatisfied tone: "Where did this quack come from! He gave birth to a child that was neither male nor female, and his mouth was full of nonsense! If it was poisoned, it must have been man-made!"
Prince Yan glanced at the princess and warned, "Be careful with your words."
Doctor Mo is the best doctor in the world, and he has a proud and indulgent personality. If Dr. Mo was angered by the princess's words, he might sneak out of the palace tonight.
Wouldn’t King Yan’s years of hard work in searching be in vain?
"Oh, Princess, are you doubting my medical skills?" Doctor Mo smiled. "Judging from the vomit, the little girl must have eaten a moldy cake. Moldy food cannot be eaten, otherwise it will cause diarrhea, vomiting, and liver damage."
The princess was surprised. Where did the moldy cake come from?
Li Yao left the good stuff alone and instead found the moldy cake where did she get it? Could it be that someone with ulterior motives secretly tricked Li Yao into eating the moldy cake?
At this time, Li Yao's faint cough was heard from behind the screen.
Li Yao woke up.
Li Chengke and Li Chengzhen, who were guarding the bedside, were overjoyed and rushed to the bedside, calling Li Yao's name.
Prince Yan also stood up and walked through the screen to Li Yao's bed. The princess' eyes were filled with tears. She held Li Yao's hand and said, "Yao'er, you finally woke up. I scared you to death. Yao'er, tell me quickly, who gave you the moldy cake to eat?"
Li Yao's face was as pale as paper and her head was still dizzy.
She opened her eyes and saw the princess's face in a daze. Li Yao was shaking with fear, thinking that she would be scolded by the princess again. She began to admit her fault in a confused state: "Mother... It's Yao'er's fault. Yao'er was very hungry, so she hid a piece of cake under the table in the tea room... Every time she was hungry, she would secretly eat a little. Yao'er won't dare to do it again..."
"Mother, please don't punish Yao'er in the future. Yao'er didn't even have a full lunch... wuwuwu..."
The princess seemed to be struck by lightning.
Pale face.
Shen Wei secretly observed from the corner, sighing in her heart. No wonder Li Yao begged her for cold cake today. This poor little girl, as the eldest daughter of the palace, couldn't even eat enough.
Moldy food contains aflatoxin. This thing is highly toxic. After eating it, you will suffer from headaches and vomiting. In severe cases, it can even cause death.
Doctor Mo shook the paper fan in his hand and said jokingly, "Oh, it turns out that the young lady of the palace can't even have a full lunch, and has to secretly hide cakes in the tea room. Prince Yan, is this how you raise children in Daqing Kingdom?"
After a pause, Doctor Mo's gaze fell on the two children, Li Chengke and Li Chengzhen.
Doctor Mo simply took a quick look and accurately grasped the symptoms. He smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Yan, your two sons are thin, their eyes are dark, they lack energy and blood, and they have poor appetite. Oh - I dare to say that your two sons will be plagued by various diseases when they grow up."
Prince Yan's face had turned ashen.
No one expected that Li Yao was poisoned because she ate moldy cake! The reason was even more ridiculous—the daughter of a prince was not full!
"Your Highness...there must be some misunderstanding! Please don't believe the slander of this quack doctor." The princess knelt down, wishing she could cover up Dr. Mo's bad mouth.
Her son was fine, why was he suffering from so many illnesses?
This quack actually cursed her son!
The King of Yan was on the verge of a rage.
Shen Wei did not stay to watch the show, she tactfully took the initiative to leave.
That night, there was a thunderstorm, a rare storm that dispelled the summer heat.
Rainy days are best for sleeping. There were lightning and thunder outside the house, and heavy rain was pouring down. The rain fell on the roof tiles, making a rhythmic sound. Shen Wei fell asleep without any distractions.
The next morning, the air in the palace became fresher after the heavy rain, and the leaves looked even greener after being watered by the rain. The palace was in chaos, and there was a lot of commotion at Kunyu Courtyard.
In the afternoon, Shen Wei leisurely practiced Ba Duan Jin in the yard.
Cai Ping, a gossip expert, sorted out all the events of the palace last night and this morning, and told them to Chen Wei in a chattering manner.
