"Shut up! You are not allowed to interfere when I am questioning you, or I will charge you with disrupting the court." Maimaiti glared at him.
Both were military officers, and Maimaiti naturally did not want to be outdone.
After Maimaiti finished speaking, Zhao Yinfang finally quieted down, and then the thin man began to speak.
He cried and sobbed, "Your Honor, that mutton stall killed my child! Please, Your Honor, do me justice..."
Upon hearing this, the others in the audience were clearly skeptical: "How could that be? It's just a small lamb skewer."
"quiet!"
As the gavel struck, the thin man continued, "The doctors in the city diagnosed it as poisoning. Could that be a lie? This unfamiliar face of hers suddenly appeared in Mingyue. Who knows what she's up to?"
At this point, some of the people in the audience began to waver.
The adults then inquired about Xu Yuehuai's identity, but since she wasn't a local, revealing it at this point would inevitably have a negative impact, so she hesitated.
However, this behavior was not done well, and he was immediately suspected.
no way……
"I am Xu Yuehuai." As soon as she finished speaking, she took off her headscarf, revealing her true appearance.
Maimaiti's expression did indeed change suddenly.
He never expected that this person would be Xu Yuehuai, so he immediately changed his tune and trusted Xu Yuehuai's character.
But the more important issue is about the lamb stalls—
Suddenly, another person arrived outside, bringing with them another man.
Everyone was puzzled. The case that day seemed a bit strange. The protagonist didn't say much, but people kept coming in. It was unusual.
The adults noticed these circumstances, but still asked questions according to the rules.
Finally, everything was clarified.
It turns out that both the mutton stalls and the mutton shops do exist, but the toxic mutton came from the mutton shops and had nothing to do with Xu Yuehuai's stall.
But this person was an acquaintance of the owner of the mutton shop. The case, which had been going on for half a month, had finally been suppressed and was considered closed. Xu Yuehuai's mutton stall suddenly became very popular, and the rumors started again. There was no other way but to resort to a switcheroo.
Who knew that Maimaiti would run into him, and since he held a high position, the matter was settled just like that.
Ultimately, the real tainted mutton shop was shut down immediately under Maimaiti's authority, and Xu Yuehuai was naturally cleared of suspicion.
Maimaiti led Xu Yuehuai out of the county government office.
"Thank you for your help, sir. If it weren't for your help, things might have been quite troublesome," Xu Yuehuai couldn't help but say sarcastically.
"It's nothing, just a small favor." Maimaiti didn't take his words to heart, and instead asked, "I wonder why Manager Xu suddenly came here?"
"It was just to experience the local customs and culture of another place," Xu Yuehuai said evasively, then asked, "The Regent King came to the Dark Moon Kingdom with you, where is he?"
Upon hearing this, Maimaiti was certain that Xu Yuehuai had not found Qi Guze and concluded that Qi Guze was truly dead.
While he was happy, he didn't forget to make a few excuses.
Thinking of Xu Yuehuai's previous culinary skills, Maimaiti decided to keep Xu Yuehuai with him.
"Since you have such a good skill, it's a bit of a waste to use it on the street. How about I give you a chance?"
"What opportunity?"
Xu Yuehuai was also somewhat suspicious, not expecting that the other party would still want to help after knowing her identity.
"Just follow me."
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yuehuai followed, never expecting that their destination would be the royal palace. She was introduced to the King of the Mingyue Kingdom by Maimaiti.
Maimaiti bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have been worried about the little princess's condition. Now I have specially found a good doctor to come."
Xu Yuehuai was still in a daze and could only follow his lead in bowing. Only then did she learn from the conversation that the little princess of the Mingyue Kingdom had been losing her appetite for the past two months and was getting thinner and thinner, clearly showing signs of anorexia.
"Oh? May I ask where this divine physician comes from?" The King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom asked, his eyes half-closed.
Maimaiti spoke again: "This is Manager Xu from Chang'an City. The crayfish I brought were made by her. I think she can definitely cure the little princess."
"No matter where you are from, as long as you can do it, I will grant you any request."
Xu Yuehuai naturally cherished such a great opportunity.
She looked up at the King of the Underworld, her eyes filled with sincerity: "Your Majesty, the little princess's symptoms are nothing to be afraid of. I just need to take a look and do some simple research."
At this moment, the king was also very worried about this matter, and hearing her say this made him even more interested.
"Is that so? I also had someone examine the little princess's symptoms, and after adjustments were made, there was no change." Although he was interested, he didn't have much hope.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai continued to patiently inquire, "Your Majesty, if possible, I am willing to try it, and I am sure you will see significant results."
Seeing her imposing demeanor, which didn't seem to be an act, the king was willing to give it a try.
Moreover, the princess's illness is more likely a psychological one, and sometimes psychological illness requires psychological medicine to heal.
At this moment, Xu Yuehuai spoke her mind directly: "Your Majesty, I have a request. If we can cure the little princess this time, but want to prevent future troubles, we still need to address the root cause."
Upon hearing this, the king knew exactly what Xu Yuehuai was referring to. He first fell into deep thought, and then slowly raised his head.
His voice was heavy: "If you can really cure the little princess, I will promise not to let the ninth princess of the Central Plains be married off."
Just as Xu Yuehuai was about to express her gratitude, the king made another request: "I will only give you three days. If the little princess still shows no improvement by then, you should know very well the consequences."
Actually, most people are just watching the show and don't have much hope for Xu Yuehuai.
Once the king's permission was obtained, everything would proceed much more smoothly.
So, at this time, the first thing Xu Yuehuai did was to find out about the little princess's diet: "I wonder what the little princess has been eating lately? Could you show me the specific menu?"
The head chef had already received the news, so he quickly took out all the recipes he had previously recorded and placed them in front of her.
