Shen Leyan couldn't help feeling a little angry as she watched Concubine Qing leaving. Although she had known that Lord Shangguan favored the concubines in the mansion, she didn't expect him to be so partial.

She looked at Sister Shangguan with a worried look on her face, but she smiled at her and said it was okay, obviously she was already used to it.

"In that case, let's treat Madam Shangguan." Shen Leyan said in a somewhat firm tone.

Shangguan Rui's face was also a little cold, but because the emperor was here, he couldn't do anything too much.

He sneered coldly, "Miss Shen is indeed worthy of being the daughter of the Prime Minister. Today, I have really impressed you."

"I can let you go and treat my wife, but what if you can't figure out what's wrong?"

At this time, when the miracle doctor heard someone questioning his medical skills, he no longer tolerated it.

Some were speechless and said, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen someone who is not only not anxious when his wife is sick, but also prevents the doctor from treating his wife."

"Who said I'm not anxious? You said you're a doctor, but how do I know if that's true? If something goes wrong, who will bear the consequences?"

"I'll take care of it!"

"Father, I am willing to trust the miracle doctor. I know my mother's illness best. I will shoulder all the responsibilities if anything happens."

The genius doctor snorted coldly: "If it weren't for them, I wouldn't have come even if you invited me. Besides, I haven't even mentioned the consultation fee for the treatment yet."

"Then let me ask you, even if I can't figure it out, what do you want? Do you want to kill us in front of the Emperor?"

Shangguan Rui immediately stopped him when he heard this: "Stop talking nonsense!"

He turned to the emperor and said respectfully, "I have no such intention. Your Majesty, please understand. These people are so rude. Please allow me to ask them to leave."

Emperor Yong'an waved his hand. "In my opinion, this old man looks very much like a miracle doctor. What he said is not without reason. It is my uncle who is overreacting."

"Let them try, and fulfill my cousin's filial piety."

"Besides, Miss Shen is my cousin's good friend. She specially invited the miracle doctor to help. It was a good intention. My uncle should be happy."

"Yes, I know. It's not that I'm overreacting, it's just..."

Emperor Yong'an also said impatiently: "Alright! I came here today specifically for the Empress Dowager."

"It's just right that after the miracle doctor has examined me, I can go back and tell her so that she won't have to worry about her aunt and her cousin all day long."

Seeing that the emperor had said so much, Shangguan Rui could not stop him any further, and he was even more afraid of angering the emperor.

"Well, since Your Majesty is here, please follow me to the main hall for tea."

Emperor Yong'an nodded and followed Shangguan Rui to the main hall.

When passing by Shen Leyan, he paused for a moment, stared at her and whispered, "You go first, I'll come to find you later." After that, he strode away.

Shen Leyan didn't have time to think too much. She immediately supported Sister Shangguan and comforted her while walking towards Mrs. Shangguan's courtyard.

Shangguan Yueyin wiped the tears from her face, pulled the corners of her mouth, cheered herself up, and her usual smile returned to her face.

"Mother, my daughter has invited a miracle doctor."

I saw a pale woman lying on the bed. When she saw the doctor come in, she tried hard to get up.

"Madam, there's no need to be so polite." The doctor hurried forward to support the woman.

He carefully observed the woman's face and then began to feel her pulse.

After taking the pulse, the doctor frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Madam's pulse is weak and astringent, her complexion is dark, her other symptoms are not obvious, and she is becoming increasingly thin. It seems that she has symptoms of long-term chronic poisoning."

Shangguan Yueyin was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Poisoned? How could that be?"

"The imperial physician who came before said that my mother's illness was caused by years of depression. Her immunity was weakened and she was plagued by illness. She had been taking medicine to treat it, but the effect was minimal."

The genius doctor nodded after hearing this and continued, "On the surface, it is indeed consistent with what the imperial physician said, but you also said that the effect of taking medicine is very small."

"Furthermore, Madam is now bedridden and becoming increasingly thin, so I believe poisoning is more likely."

"Please, miracle doctor, save my mother!" Shangguan Yueyin fell to her knees with a plop, her eyes full of anxiety.

The doctor quickly helped her up and said, "Don't worry, Miss Shangguan. I will take a closer look."

After saying that, he opened the medicine box, took out the silver needles, and gently pricked Madam Shangguan's acupuncture points a few times.

After a moment, he pulled out the silver needle, only to see that the end of the needle had turned jet black.

"It's poisoning indeed." The genius doctor's face was solemn. "This poison is quite rare. It must have slowly entered the body through food."

Shangguan Yueyin's face turned pale. "It turns out that my mother was poisoned. I didn't even notice it, and I let my mother suffer so much..."

"I'm useless. I failed to protect my mother."

"Sister Shangguan, now is not the time to blame yourself. If you have anyone to blame, you can only blame the villain who poisoned you."

"You must cheer up. We must catch the murderer behind this."

While comforting Sister Shangguan, Shen Leyan anxiously asked the miracle doctor, "Does the miracle doctor have any cure?"

The doctor thought for a moment and said, "If we want to detoxify, we need to find the person who poisoned us, and then we can prescribe the right medicine."

"In addition, some precious medicinal herbs are needed to assist in the treatment. You can prepare some tonics such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng to help Madam recuperate."

"Thank you for your advice, doctor. I will ask someone to go to the warehouse to prepare it right away." Shangguan Yueyin burst into tears of gratitude.

"I remember I have a thousand-year-old ginseng at home. I'll ask Zhiyue to go back and get it now."

"I know Sister Le Yan's good intentions. I have ginseng in my warehouse at home. No need to bother."

"There is no trouble between us. Sister Shangguan, please accept my kindness. Saving my aunt is the most important thing right now." Shen Leyan said as she turned to look at the miracle doctor.

"Madam's illness does require a large amount of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum. It wouldn't hurt to prepare a little more."

"Look, the miracle doctor has spoken, Sister Shangguan, just accept it."

"Zhiyue, go back and tell your brother to send all the Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng from the mansion over here."

Shangguan Yueyin immediately stopped him, saying, "How can this be? Le Yan, tell your maid to stop."

"It's okay, Sister Shangguan, please don't refuse my kindness. Besides, Zhiyue has already gone far away, so I won't respond to your calls."

"You!"

Shangguan Yueyin refused but had to accept it first, thinking that saving her mother was the most important thing, and she could repay the favor slowly in the future.

Shen Leyan held her hand and blinked. Seeing that Sister Shangguan was in a much better mood, she began to get to the point: "The most urgent task now is to find the source of the poison and the person who poisoned it."

"The doctor said it was poisoned through food. Sister Shangguan, think about the people who are responsible for Auntie's diet?"

"Or is there anything suspicious about the maid who usually takes care of your aunt's food and daily life?"

Shangguan Yueyin thought about it carefully and suddenly thought of someone who was very suspicious. Just as she was about to tell them, she heard footsteps.
