Seeing that Xiao Yi had fallen asleep, Xiao Huajin went out to instruct someone to come in and take good care of him. Just as she was about to call Mo Liuyun out, she heard Mo Liuyun say, "Third Young Master, the old Duke's illness is a bit tricky. It requires a certain medicinal herb, along with the unique acupuncture technique passed down by my sect, to cure him."

Xiao Jinhua was taken aback upon hearing this, but everyone present was shrewd: "I quickly asked what medicinal herbs were still missing. Doctor, please tell me, and I will search all over Beili City and even the entire Beili to find them for my grandfather."

Mo Liuyun hurriedly said, "There's no need for that. This medicinal material is extremely common; it's the buffalo horn powder used in Qingxin Pills. The poison that the Duke was ingested was due to a drug incompatibility. Those who are poisoned fall into a deep sleep, lost in dreams without realizing it. Over time, their bodily functions gradually deteriorate, and they eventually succumb to the disease."

The general's wife asked, "May I ask, divine physician, what exactly caused my father's poisoning?"

"One ingredient is the orchid placed in the room. This orchid is called the Forget-Me-Not Orchid, which comes from the Western Regions. Its fragrance can make people sleepy and distracted. The other ingredient is Datura, which can be used to make Mafeisan, a kind of sedative. The combination of the two will make people fall into a deep sleep forever in just seven days, and eventually there will be no cure."

Upon hearing this, the old Duchess Chu angrily said, "My Duke's Mansion has been loyal and virtuous for generations, guarding the border and taking it as our duty to protect the territory from foreign invasion. The descendants of the Xiao family have never bullied men or women or relied on their strength to oppress the weak. Third Brother, investigate for me! Who is so vicious?! Whose path has the Duke's Mansion blocked? What grudge have we made?!"

"Yes, Grandmother, I will definitely investigate this matter and avenge this grudge!" Xiao Jinhua said solemnly.

Xiao Jinhua then said to Mo Liuyun, "Divine Physician, you must be tired from your journey. Please rest for a while in the guest room with some tea and snacks. We will have lunch after it is prepared. Once the medicine is ready tomorrow, we would be grateful if you could lend us your assistance!"

"In that case, I shall humbly accept your offer!" Mo Liuyun said.

"Please, Divine Doctor," Mo Liuyun and Xiao Jinhua walked one after the other to a guest room. The servant opened the door, and the two entered the room.

"Please rest well, divine physician. Lunch will be prepared shortly, and Jinhua will come to invite you again." Just as Xiao Jinhua turned around, Mo Liuyun said, "Third Young Master, please wait a moment. I will reveal the prescription for the country to awaken him so that I can administer acupuncture this evening."

After saying that, the two walked towards the desk. One sat down in front of the desk, while the other stood with his back to the servant at the door, grinding ink for him. Mo Liuyun placed one hand on the paper and held the brush in the other, writing on the paper. After a while, when the ink was dry, he blew on it, folded it, and handed it to Xiao Jinhua.

Xiao Jinhua took the prescription with both hands, opened it, and glanced at Chao Moliuyun. Seeing her nod with a smile, her expression calm and composed, Xiao Jinhua then folded the prescription again, put it in her bosom, and turned to leave.

After Xiao Jinhua left, Mo Liuyun closed the door, flashed into the space, and appeared by the spirit field.

"Master, the warehouse already has some fresh ginger, garlic, and other seasonings, and the fruit is almost overflowing. Should we process and recycle some of it?" Ling'er asked.

"Oh, we won't use the seasonings for now; I plan to sell them to Wangjiang Pavilion. As for the fruits, we'll recycle them all first; they ripen quickly on the trees anyway, so we don't plan to sell them outside for the time being," Mo Liuyun said.

"Okay, Master. Fruits will be bought back by weight, with a maximum of five space coins and a minimum of one space coin. We'll begin the buyback now." Ling'er finished speaking, and the space display screen scrolled rapidly. After about five minutes, the screen stopped scrolling, showing 238 space coins. Mo Liuyun was quite surprised. He thought to himself that the space's output value was quite high.

Ling'er: "Master, these are spirit fruits. They can improve one's constitution and prolong life if eaten regularly. They are far superior to ordinary fruits."

Upon hearing this, Mo Liuyun was even more delighted. He walked to the spirit spring, filled a pot with spirit spring water, and asked, "Ling'er, is there a limit to how much spirit spring water I can drink each time? I mean, the amount?"

"No, Master. You are the owner of this space. The only special case is when you first improve your meridians. After that, there are no restrictions. You can use it as your daily drinking water to enhance your physique and increase your internal strength."

Mo Liuyun: Well, this is truly the strongest cheat code for cultivating martial arts! However, who doesn't like a cheat code? Although the existence of the space prevents her from being in danger, she will not reveal the existence of the space unless absolutely necessary.

When Mo Liuyun came out of the space, she picked about ten pears, since she only brought a medicine box with her. After eating two snacks, Xiao Jinhua came over and knocked on the door, inviting Mo Liuyun to have lunch.

After lunch, Mo Liuyun followed Xiao Jinhua back to Yonghui Garden, where the Duke resided. Xiao Jinhua carried a food box. As everyone entered the room, just as they were about to send the servants away, a maid said, "Third Young Master, is it time to feed him medicine? This servant may stay and serve him!"

Xiao Jinhua looked up at the maid, a complex expression flashing across her eyes for a moment before disappearing in an instant. She said, "No need. The divine physician and I are enough. Grandfather has been working hard lately. Go and rest now."

The maid glanced at the food box, then obeyed and left. After the maid and servant left, Xiao Jinhua said to the window, "Follow her carefully, but don't alert her!" Then a figure flashed past the window and disappeared!

Upon seeing this, the Duchess angrily said, "It's true what they say, a barking dog bites but doesn't bite. I never expected it to be her. I just don't know if she was a hidden mole when we saved her, or if there was another reason."

"No reason is an excuse for her to hurt others at will. Since she did it, she should pay the price!"

"Not bad!" A slightly weak voice rang out in the room.

"Grandfather!" "Maternal grandfather!" "Old man!" "Father!"

Several voices rang out at the same time, and Xiao Jinhua hurriedly went to the bedside to help Xiao Yi up.

"Now that Grandfather is awake, let him have some porridge first." Mo Liuyun opened the food box, took out the porridge pot, and then took out a bottle containing spiritual spring water from the medicine box. He dripped a little water into the porridge, ladled out half a bowl, and brought the porridge to Xiao Yi, sitting on the stool by the bed.

Smiling, she said, "Grandfather, shall I serve you your meal?"

"Good! Good! Good!" Xiao Yi said "good" three times in a row, his eyes filled with undisguised joy and affection. After feeding him half a bowl, Mo Liuyun stopped what she was doing and put the bowl aside.

When Xiao Yi took his first sip of porridge, he felt a warm sensation all over his body. After finishing half a bowl, it felt as if all the meridians in his body had relaxed. Seeing Mo Liuyun put the empty bowl aside, his gaze fell on the porridge bowl, then looked at Mo Liuyun, then at the porridge. The meaning was clear: he wanted more!

Seeing this, Xiao Jinhua suppressed a laugh and said, "Grandfather, my cousin said that you haven't eaten for many days and can only eat half full today."

Mo Liuyun continued, "Grandfather, I added a spiritual liquid to the porridge to enhance physical strength and repair meridians. It should not be consumed in large quantities."

"So that's how it is! No wonder I've never tasted such fragrant porridge before; it feels like all my muscles and tendons have relaxed." Xiao Yi said.

“Grandmother, you have been worrying a lot lately. There is only half a bowl of porridge left. It is just right for you to eat it.”

As they spoke, Mo Liuyun ladled out the remaining half bowl of porridge and placed it in Madam Chu's hands, smiling as she asked, "Grandmother, would you like your granddaughter to serve you?"

Chu patted Mo Liuyun's hand and glanced at Xiao Yi: "Grandmother is not like some old thing, so useless that she needs to be fed!" After saying that, she started eating and took the first bite.

Xiao Yi then asked, "Old woman, how is it?"

Chu didn't answer, and quickly finished half a bowl of porridge with some side dishes. Just as Xiao Yi had said, she felt completely comfortable! She glanced at Xiao Yi and said, "It really is different, I feel so relaxed. This old woman even wants to go out and shoot a few rounds!"

Xiao Jinhua chuckled. Both her grandparents were military officers, and they were not as gentle with their descendants as other aristocratic families. Their family could be said to have grown up under the rod. They started learning to squat in a horse stance at the age of three and to learn riding and archery at the age of five. She heard that her uncle and father were often beaten when they were young.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi chuckled and said, "Once I'm better, I'll have a go with you."

“Okay,” Chu replied.

'Knock! Knock! Knock,' came the knocking at the door.

"Come in!" The door opened, and a man dressed in black entered, handing a note to Xiao Jinhua.

Xiao Jinhua glanced at it and said, "Put it back. Tell Uncle Cui and Xiao Quan to prepare to close the net!"

"Yes!" The man took the note, turned around, and left the room.

Xiao Jinhua said to Xiao Yi, "Grandfather, the fish has taken the bait!"
