After checking the pulse, Doctor Hu said solemnly to everyone, "Excuse me, is the poisonous snake that bit the little princess still alive? I need to know what kind of snake the poison was so that I can better prescribe the right medicine."

The others looked at each other. They didn't know either. They didn't see any poisonous snake when they arrived.

Only Xia Zhu and Qiu Ju spoke together

"Here I am!"

"Let me show you."

Doctor Hu looked at Qiu Ju, whose face was pale, and said to Xia Zhu, "Please lead the way, young lady."

"Yes, this way, doctor."

Xia Zhu led Doctor Hu to the place where the poisonous snake's body was.

Doctor Hu carefully examined the snake's corpse, pondered for a moment, and then turned back to the pavilion.

He said to everyone, "The little princess is fine now because she was treated in time. I will prescribe two doses of medicine for the remaining poison in her body. If you take them on time, they will be cleared away."

After hearing the news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Wan no longer had any arrogance at this time, and said to the imperial physician: "That's good, as long as you are fine, thank you for your help, imperial physician."

"You are too polite, my concubine. If the treatment had not been timely, I would have been powerless when I arrived." Doctor Hu told the truth.

Shen Jingyi looked at Qiuju's face. Although she knew it was inappropriate, she still said, "Doctor Hu, my maid just gave the little princess drugs and it seems she is also poisoned. Can you take a look at her too?"

Doctor Hu nodded. He had seen the girl when she came in. Her face was pale and her lips were a little purple. He had just guessed that the girl had taken drugs.

So he walked over to Qiuju and took her pulse.

After a moment, he withdrew his hand and said, "This girl is indeed poisoned, but the poison is relatively mild. She only needs to take some antidote and rest for a few days and she will recover."

As he spoke, he took out a pen and paper and wrote prescriptions for the little princess and Qiu Ju respectively, and explained in detail the method of taking the medicine and the precautions.

"Excuse me, Doctor Hu."

"Your Highness is too polite. I will take my leave."

Doctor Hu bowed and turned to leave.

"On the ninth day of the first lunar month, I will see off Doctor Hu."

King Xuan waved his hand, signaling Chujiu to follow.

"Yes"

Chujiu responded respectfully and then walked out with Doctor Hu.

After Doctor Hu left, King Xuan turned his gaze to the crowd and asked gloomily, "Tell me, what is going on?"

Shen Jingyi took a deep breath, stood up, and recounted in a calm tone what had happened today.

Chu Mengyao burst into tears and said in a choked voice: "Your Highness, you must do something for Tingting! She almost died today... I have had those people around her tied up, you must interrogate them thoroughly. Tingting is still so young, she doesn't understand anything..."

By the end of her speech, Chu Mengyao almost burst into tears.

King Xuan looked at his daughter who was already sleeping in Chu Mengyao's arms. He was also very angry and distressed. This was his only daughter now, and someone actually dared to attack her!

"I understand, Chuba, you are responsible for investigating this matter."

King Xuan stared at Chuba with sharp eyes and gave an order.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chuba bowed and accepted the order and went out to investigate.

"Everyone go away! I will get to the bottom of this matter." King Xuan said seriously.

After he finished speaking, he reached out his hand and carefully took the sleeping Xiao Tingting from Chu Mengyao's arms.

Before turning around and leaving, he said to Shen Jingyi: "You go back first."

"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Jingyi responded respectfully.

Before leaving, Chu Mengyao gave Shen Jingyi a provocative look and said, "Concubine Shen, if this matter has nothing to do with you, I will come to thank you in person.

But if it turns out that you are involved, don't blame me for being rude!"

Facing Chu Mengyao's threat, Shen Jingyi acted unconcerned and simply responded, "Whatever you want."

After saying that, she signaled Xia Zhu beside her to help Qiu Ju up, and the three of them went back slowly.

Along the way, Xia Zhu complained indignantly: "Concubine, we are saving people, right? It would be fine if you didn't thank us, but why do you think we are murderers?"

Shen Jingyi seemed very calm and consoled her, "It's okay. We'll just wait for her to come and thank us."

King Xuan carried his little daughter back to her own residence and gently placed her on the bed.

Then he stood up and told Chu Mengyao behind him, "Take good care of Tingting."

After turning around to look at the little person on the bed, King Xuan turned and left.

At the same time, in the main courtyard of the palace, Hong Yin was reporting this matter to the princess.

After listening to this, the princess frowned slightly: "So, the prince has already sent someone to investigate this matter?"

"Princess, yes. The matter has been handed over to Chuba to investigate." Hongyin replied respectfully.

The princess sighed softly, but she did not hide the joy and expectation in her eyes: "I didn't expect that after two years of silence, they would start making trouble again."

Seeing this, Hong Yin cautiously suggested, "Then Princess, do we need to direct this matter towards the newcomer?"

Chu Mengyao shook her head. "No need for that. The prince must be angry this time. We should not intervene easily."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Send someone to keep an eye on the progress of the matter. Tell the housekeeper that there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants in this season. Send someone to look around to see if there are any more.

Make sure that similar incidents do not happen again in the palace."

"Yes, I will go right away."

Hong Yin bowed and left.

Before long, the news spread throughout the palace - a snake had entered the palace and bit the little princess!

For a moment, everyone in the mansion was talking about it, and those who had nothing to do automatically joined the search team. Finally, a small non-venomous green snake was found by the lake in the garden, and two rat nests were found in the rockery.

When the two neighboring families heard the noise, they sent people over to inquire. After learning that a snake was found in the garden and bit the little princess, they also started looking in their own homes, fearing that their own children had also been bitten.

In this way, a campaign to eliminate snakes and rats was launched on this street.

.........

The matter was investigated quickly. Someone came to report early the next morning and the prince ordered everyone to gather in the main courtyard.

Shen Jingyi didn't even have time to have breakfast, and hurriedly took his people to the main courtyard.

When I arrived, I saw that except for the two people sitting in the main seats, everyone from other courtyards had arrived. Su Wan was looking at the two people kneeling in the middle of the hall with an angry look on her face.

A concubine named Li and Xiao Tingting's wet nurse.

She forgot the concubine's name for a moment, but she looked calm and composed while kneeling there. In contrast, the wet nurse seemed extremely frightened and her body was shaking.

"Sister Shen..." As soon as Shen Jingyi stepped into the main hall, everyone except Su Wan stood up and saluted her.

"Sisters, wake up!"

Before Shen Jingyi finished speaking, she saw the prince and princess walk into the house together.

Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly bowed again.

After King Xuan sat down, he looked at the woman in front of him with sharp eyes and said, "Tell me, why did you do this?"
