The summer night wind was even stronger, making the trees in the yard rustle. Shen Wei raised her eyes and saw a snow-white, slender figure.

He was a young man in white with picturesque eyebrows and a romantic look.

Shen Wei was a little surprised. She thought the world-famous "Mr. Mo" would be a white-haired old man. Unexpectedly, Mr. Mo looked so young, as if he was less than 20 years old, and was 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 to Li Yao. Doctor Mo bent down slightly, first glanced at the puddle 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 thought about countermeasures repeatedly in her mind. Li Yao was poisoned, and the real culprit must be found tonight. It was either Shen Wei or 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 took out the silver needles he carried with him, pierced several acupuncture points on Li Yao's body, and gave Li Yao a special pill. The series of actions were smooth and flowing.

After a while, Doctor Mo walked out of the screen slowly and washed his hands in the basin. While wiping the water stains on his hands with a towel, Doctor Mo 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? Who would attack an eight-year-old girl like Li Yao?

Of course, Prince 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, with a proud and uninhibited personality. If he is angered by the princess's words, maybe Doctor Mo will 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?

Where did Li Yao find the moldy cake instead of eating the good stuff? 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 by the bed, were overjoyed and rushed to the bed, calling Li Yao's name.

Prince Yan also stood up, walked through the screen and came to Li Yao's bedside. The princess' eyes were filled with tears, and she held Li Yao's hand: "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 trembled 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 will not 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.

Paled face.

Shen Wei secretly observed from the corner, sighing in her heart. No wonder Li Yao had begged her for cold cakes today. This poor little girl, as the eldest daughter of the palace, couldn't even have enough to eat.

Moldy food contains aflatoxin, which is highly toxic and can cause headaches and vomiting, and in severe cases, 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 by eating moldy cakes! The reason was even more ridiculous - the daughter of a prince didn't eat enough!

"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 the best for sleeping. There were lightning and thunder outside, 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, after the heavy rain, the air in the palace became fresher, and the leaves looked even greener after being watered by the rain. The palace was in chaos, and there was a lot of noise in Kunyu Courtyard.

In the afternoon, Shen Wei leisurely exercised in the yard by practicing Ba Duan Jin.

Caiping, a gossip expert, sorted out all the events of the palace last night and this morning, and told them to Shen Wei in a chattering manner.
