In the hall, the lights were brightly lit. A man in a dark blue robe was sitting on the main seat. He has been waiting for a long time. He looked tired. He closed his eyes to recuperate. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Those eyes, Bai Zhi’s heart jumped again. Those eyes were very similar to the eyes of the lady she saw in the street, and to her own eyes.

Dongfang Mu looked at the young man in front of him. For a moment, he was stunned. His eyes looked very similar to him and Dongfang Wan. If he was a girl, he would suspect that he was that child at that time.

Cui’er said to Bai Zhi: “Bai Dafu, this is our master.”

Bai Zhi paid respect to Dongfang Mu: “I’ve seen Dongfang Daren.”

Dongfang Mu waved his hand: “I’m no longer a member of the court, you don’t have to call me Daren, just call me Master Dongfang.” It would be nice if he will call him grandpa.

Bai Zhi responded.

Dongfang Mu asked: “What’s your name? Where do you live? Who else is there in your family? How old are you this year?”

Bai Zhi expected him to ask, just like when the lady first saw her. After all, a person with a similar appearance suddenly appeared. It was normal to have such a reaction.

Bai Zhi answered one by one.

Dongfang Mu was surprised: “Are you also 13 years old? Just turned 13 years old?”

Bai Zhi nodded: “Yes, my birthday is in September.”

Dongfang Mu sighed: “If the child is still alive, she will be as big as you.”

Bai Zhi was curious: “Is the child you are saying a boy or a girl?”

Dongfang Mu looked at the little doctor and said: “It’s a girl. Her birthday is on August 21. She is one month older than you.”

Bai Zhi’s heartbeat suddenly increased. She thought of what her mother had said. She said that when they picked her up in September, she was not even a month old. So to say, her real birthday was actually in August. Same-gender, same age, same eyes, is there such a coincidence in the world?

Bai Zhi wanted to ask Dongfang Mu how the child disappeared. She wanted to ask, but before she could speak, Dongfang Mu asked her: “I heard Cui’er say, you check my daughter’s pulse and said that her disease was not caused by a disease, but there is something in her body that shouldn’t be there. Is this true?”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “Yes.”

Dongfang Mu asked again: “Then the thing you said that shouldn’t be there, can you tell me what is it?”

Bai Zhi said: “If I said that it was poison, will you believe it?”

Dongfang Mu’s complexion drastically changed. He gritted his teeth and said: “Of course, I believe it. If it’s really a poison, I must tear that beast into pieces!”

Bai Zhi said: “Let me be frank, the lady has been poisoned for a long time. The poison is not fatal. When being checked, the doctor couldn’t diagnose and treat it. So the poison slowly penetrated the body and caused various diseases. If the lady was sick, the doctor prescribed her medicine, but she doesn’t recover even after taking any medicine, right?”

Dongfang Mu and Cui’er nodded at the same time: “Yes, yes, that’s right. She has the same disease as others, but even if the doctor prescribed the same medicine, other people recovered, but she doesn’t.”

Bai Zhi nodded her head: “That is because the medicine given is not correct. Her disease is not caused by disease, but by poison. To cure her disease, you must first remove the poison from her body.”

Dongfang Mu stood up excitedly and asked anxiously: “Listening to you, you must have a cure for her?”
