Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

"Uncle Mo, are you willing to let Concubine Hui leave the palace?" Shen Chuning asked calmly.

Mo Huaiqian looked confused and asked, "Leave the palace? How do you leave?"

"Even if only one person comes out, there will be no more Queen Mo in the palace, and the Mo family will no longer have a daughter named Mo Ruxing." Shen Chuning answered carefully.

Mo Huaiqian thought about it for a moment, then quickly understood the deeper meaning. He said in surprise, "You mean faking your own death to escape?"

Shen Chuning nodded slightly to show her agreement.

Mo Huaiqian frowned and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, can you agree? Only if Ruxing stays in the palace can Your Majesty better control the Mo family." He expressed doubts about this proposal.

At this time, Yun Zian, who had been silent the whole time, said coldly, "As long as you pay the full amount of money at once, there's nothing wrong with agreeing to it."

"One...all at once, how much does it cost?" Mo Huaiqian asked stutteringly.

"Sixty million taels of silver in the first year, and fifteen million taels every year for the next six years." Yun Zian reported the figures expressionlessly.

"This...this...how can the Mo family come up with so much at once?" Mo Huaiqian looked embarrassed and hesitant.

Yun Zian said angrily, "Is it because you can't afford so much at once, or are you reluctant to give up the false reputation of being a royal relative?"

Mo Huaiqian sighed and said helplessly: "You know the situation of the Mo family. It looks prosperous on the surface, but in fact most of the money they earn is sent to the palace." He frowned, his face full of worry.

Yun Zian interrupted him impatiently, "Just tell me whether you agree or not. If you agree, go to the palace tomorrow morning to deliver the silver. I will pay for it." His tone was firm and decisive.

Mo Huaiqian quickly shook his head and firmly objected, "How can I let you pay for my Mo family's affairs?" There was a hint of stubbornness and persistence in his eyes.

Yun Zian coughed lightly and said somewhat unnaturally: "This is my betrothal gift to Ruxing." There was a hint of shyness and anticipation in his voice.

……

There was peace and tranquility in the Mo family's house in the capital.

Mo Huaiqian invited a doctor to treat Mo Ruxing. After all, she had been drinking poison for quite some time, and although it didn't reach a lethal dose, it still did some damage to her body.

After the doctor left, Mo Huaiqian walked around the room anxiously, muttering to himself, "This is the ninth doctor, and he still says that there's nothing serious with you." His face was full of worry and uneasiness.

Mo Ruxing sat on the bed and comforted him with a smile, "Brother, please sit down. I'm dizzy from walking around. Maybe there's really nothing wrong with my body. I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere now." Her voice was gentle and calm, trying to ease Mo Huaiqian's anxiety.

Mo Huaiqian frowned and said firmly, "It must be that these doctors' medical skills are too poor. Why don't we post a message to invite Miss Shen Jiu and see if we can invite an imperial physician?"

Mo Ruxing was slightly stunned, and answered hesitantly: "I am leaving the palace secretly now. If I invite the imperial physician, it would be bad if my identity is recognized."

Mo Huaiqian nodded. "Indeed, we can no longer have any contact with anyone in the palace. I originally wanted to wait until you were better before taking you back to Gusu, but I didn't expect the doctors in the capital to be unable to even determine what poison you had. Let's set off immediately and return to Gusu."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door, "Where are you going in such a hurry, Uncle Mo?"

When Mo Ruxing heard the sound, she quickly looked towards the door, a look of surprise on her face, and shouted, "A Ning, come in quickly!"

"Hui..." Shen Chuning had just called out a word when she suddenly realized that Mo Ruxing was no longer Concubine Hui in the palace. She stood there awkwardly for a moment, not knowing how to address her.

Seeing this, Mo Ruxing smiled gently and said, "Your mother and I have been sisters since we were young. You can call me Aunt Mo."

Shen Chuning smiled and called Aunt Mo, then said, "I brought a doctor with me today. Let him take a look at you."

After hearing Shen Chuning's words, Mo Huaiqian was delighted and hurriedly said, "Where is the doctor? Please come in quickly!"

Shen Chuning stepped aside, revealing a boy in his early teens behind him.

Mo Huaiqian opened his mouth in surprise and asked in disbelief, "This...is this the doctor you mentioned?"

Shen Chuning nodded affirmatively, "That's right."

Mo Huaiqian couldn't help but frowned and said doubtfully, "This is too young."

After all, doctors need to rely on rich experience and knowledge to treat diseases, and the young man in front of him looks too immature. Even if he has studied medicine for a long time, he is probably still just an apprentice.

However, Mo Ruxing smiled and said to Mo Huaiqian: "Brother, the person An Ning brought must be trustworthy. Please let this young doctor take my pulse."

As Mo Ruxing spoke, he stretched out his right hand and gently placed it on the pulse pillow on the table.

The young man first carefully observed Mo Ruxing's complexion, then checked her tongue coating, and finally felt her pulse at her left and right wrists. Only then did he confidently say, "Madam is not poisoned."

When Mo Huaiqian heard this, he said dissatisfiedly: "I said he was too young to see a doctor, and it turns out he can't diagnose anything."

The young man said, "I may not be able to diagnose other diseases accurately, but as long as I say she is not poisoned, then it means she is definitely not poisoned." Although his voice was childish, his tone was extremely firm.

"You...you...you are so immodest at such a young age." Mo Huaiqian was so angry that his face turned red, and he couldn't help but retort.

"Uncle Mo, I forgot to tell you that my uncle is here too. He's in the front hall. Do you want to..." Shen Chuning quickly came to the rescue.

"Brother, go quickly and don't neglect the guests." Mo Ruxing also joined in.

Mo Huaiqian glared at the young man, turned and left the room.

After Mo Huaiqian left, Shen Chuning turned to look at the young man, with a hint of doubt and expectation in her eyes, and asked softly: "Are you sure?"

The young man nodded solemnly, his eyes revealing confidence and determination.

Shen Chuning breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and said to Mo Ruxing, "Aunt Mo, maybe you really aren't poisoned."

Mo Ruxing frowned, his eyes full of confusion, "How is that possible? I almost drank enough of that medicine. How could I not be poisoned? Maybe the poison hasn't taken effect yet, and will only take effect after 49 days."

The young man shook his head and explained, "It takes forty-nine days to kill someone. The poison accumulates in the body bit by bit, reaching a certain level before it causes death. However, my lady, there is no poison in your body. Perhaps what you drank wasn't real poison, but someone deliberately tricked you into thinking it was poison, in order to force you to act."

Shen Chuning also thought of this possibility and said, "Shutong, please go out and wait for me. I have something to say to Aunt Mo alone."
