After a long time, Liu Xihua finally finished the consultation while wiping the sweat off his face.

"How is it? How is it? Is it serious?" Du Ran and Mu Zhou came over quickly. The atmosphere was so tense that even a pin drop would be heard loudly.

Liu Xihua seemed to be deliberately keeping the secret. He wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and walked slowly to the table. He drank a sip of water in slow motion, burped and sighed, making the two people next to him almost die of anxiety.

"Liu Xihua!" Mu Zhou just called out Liu Xihua's name in a low voice. He shuddered with fear and quickly turned around and smiled: "According to the on-site medical consultation, it's not serious. Only five people showed signs of poisoning, and it wasn't a fatal poison, but stomachache is inevitable. I prepared them in advance and gave them the antidote, so it shouldn't be a big deal."

Du Ran patted his chest and sighed: "That's good. If someone dies, I can't explain it with a hundred mouths. Who is so wicked?"

"It's not a question of whether it's immoral or not. Although they poisoned our well, it's hard to say whether it won't spread to other places. This is a serious crime!" Mu Zhou still frowned, with a rare look of worry on his face: "Yu Chengfeng has had people replace all the dishes on the customers' tables with new ones. The situation is probably under control. However, we have no way of knowing the situation of the customers who have left after dinner. If the person who poisoned us catches us, this restaurant may have to be closed."

"The store is closed again?" Du Ran was exhausted. She had put a lot of effort into opening this store, and the royal palace's assets were almost drained. If it was closed, she would probably have to stay in the palace for the rest of her life.

"We must find out who is so bold as to poison!" The fire of anger in Du Ran's eyes seemed to be about to burst out.

First, after questioning, the two chefs in the store said that they were unaware of the incident and had alibis and motives for the crime.

Secondly, the lock had not been pried open, proving that no outsider had entered the backyard.

The suspects were all the guys in the store. Mu Zhou crossed his arms over his chest and slowly paced around everyone, observing their reactions.

But still found nothing.

"Forget it, let's first see if there are any other diners poisoned!" Du Ran felt tired. She was really worried about those customers who left early. If the poison took effect, she would save as many as possible in time.

"Princess, you don't want me to conduct a city-wide medical consultation, do you?" Liu Xihua's face was filled with horror.

Du Ran's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea!"

"Princess, you can't do that! Not to mention that I simply don't have the energy to diagnose all the people in Yuecheng. Even if I had three heads and six arms, by the time I have diagnosed everyone, the poisoned ones would have already had their attacks." Liu Xihua explained desperately, fearing that if she was too late, she would not be able to change Du Ran's mind.

Du Ran nodded: "That's right, but what should we do?"

"What else can we do? Since it's not a deadly poison, then we'll just deny it even if we're beaten to death! They can only blame themselves for their weak qi and blood, and poor stomach!" Mu Zhou said, "With so many people coming to the restaurant to eat, how come only he or they are sick?"

"Ah? Can this be possible?" Du Ran was a little incredulous: "Isn't this too irresponsible?"

"My queen, the people who poisoned the people have no guilty conscience, so why should we be held responsible? The world of martial arts is dangerous, sometimes you have to have a rogue spirit, why not do it if you can avoid trouble?" Mu Zhou comforted Du Ran.

Du Ran frowned and hesitated for a while, looked at the huge restaurant that he had worked hard to run, and finally nodded. Then he informed everyone in the store, insisting that everything was fine in the store and refusing anyone to find fault with it!

The water in the well in the backyard has been dug out as clean as possible and the antidote has been added, but during this period of time, they must carefully observe whether there are any people around who are implicated.

Sure enough, the next morning, someone was lying in front of the Xusheng Restaurant groaning, attracting a group of onlookers.

"It's this restaurant. My stomach started hurting after I had dinner yesterday. It must be because their food was not clean. I had diarrhea all night and I almost died!" The young man lying on the ground yelled, holding his stomach.

Another middle-aged man with a cane came in. His face was yellow, his lips were pale, he walked unsteadily, coughed from time to time, and looked very weak. When he reached the door of the restaurant, he poked the door with his cane as if he had used all his strength, and cursed: "This restaurant is absolutely unscrupulous! I had some food and drank some wine yesterday, and after I got home I had vomiting and diarrhea, and I was in trouble for a whole day and night. I'm almost going to lose my life. Poor me, I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. If I really die, how will all these people in my family survive! Today... they must give me an explanation!"

People were talking and pointing at the restaurant's sign, saying something.

This scene was within the expectations of Du Ran and others.

When Mu Zhou calmly came over to open the door, the two men rushed over, grabbed Mu Zhou's clothes and asked him to take responsibility.

Mu Zhou looked at the two of them suspiciously, and asked indifferently, "You two, what are you doing?"

"What? I'm here to settle the score with you! There's something wrong with the food and drinks in your house. It's caused us so much trouble!" The two men said almost the same thing. Mu Zhou immediately understood that these two men were here to cause trouble!

Mu Zhou just stood at the door and didn't plan to open it. He pretended to be confused and asked: "If the problem is with my restaurant, I will definitely take responsibility to the end! But, how can you two be so sure that it's a problem with our food and drinks? After all, many people came here to eat yesterday, but you two..." Mu Zhou deliberately left the rest of the words unsaid, looking innocently at the people watching the excitement around him.

The people who were pointing at the plaque and talking before now started pointing at the two people and chattering. Mu Zhou's words had a very good effect.

When the two men saw that the situation was not right, they immediately fell to the ground and started to act like scoundrels.

"We had dinner at your place yesterday. We felt uncomfortable while eating and even worse after we went back home. Do you still want to shirk responsibility? Why would we lie to you for no reason?" The two continued to groan.

Mu Zhou pretended to look around: "Hey, Doctor Liu, it's a good thing you're here too, come and take a look, these two people said they ate something bad, can you take a look and see what's going on?"

Liu Xihua's performance yesterday has already made everyone acquiesce that he is a miracle doctor, so he has the most say.

When the two men saw Liu Xihua coming, they looked a little flustered, but they still huddled together, holding their stomachs, and refused Liu Xihua's pulse diagnosis.

"You two, Doctor Liu is a miracle doctor. If there is really something wrong with the food, he should prescribe medicine for you right away. His medicine is very effective!" The people around them persuaded the two men.

Afterwards, more and more people joined the persuasion team: "You two are really weak now. If there is any problem, Doctor Liu will definitely help you. Moreover, he has been providing free consultations recently, so you two can rest assured!"

Faced with the kindness of so many enthusiastic people, the two men semi-voluntarily extended their arms.
