"How is it now? Is it incurable?" The king asked anxiously, his face turning pale.

He was only in his early sixties. His father lived to sixty-five, his grandfather to sixty-six, and none of his other direct relatives lived to seventy. It was as if they were under a curse. He had to break this curse and strive to live to be a hundred.

Ye Qingqing shook her head slightly, "I can cure Your Majesty's angina, but I cannot cure the poison in your body."

The king was stunned and didn't react for a long time. The White Dragon Mage was taken aback and asked, "What do you mean, Physician Ye? Has His Majesty been poisoned?"

Ye Qingqing nodded, "Yes, His Majesty the King has been poisoned, and it is a chronic poisoning that has been going on for at least five years. The poison has already spread to his internal organs."

"What will be the consequences?" Master Bailong asked again.

Ye Qingqing exchanged a glance with him and replied, "If the poison is not removed, His Majesty will not survive three years."

Clang!

The king knocked over his teacup, his face ashen, and said urgently, "As long as Doctor Ye can cure me, money is no problem. I will also treat Miss Ye as a royal guest, and she can freely enter and leave the palace."

Ye Qingqing sneered inwardly, "Who cares!"

However, she still had to put on an act. She said happily, "Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I will certainly do my best to remove the poison from you. But Your Majesty, isn't the most urgent matter to find the person who poisoned you? Being able to lurk by your side for five years, this venomous snake should still be hiding in the palace!"

Julie lowered her head even further, looking flustered, but she quickly raised her head and said angrily, "Father, we must find this poisonous snake! It's so hateful!"

Ye Qingqing sneered. The thief cried "stop thief!" and her acting skills were top-notch. However, she had met her match and was determined to expose this woman's true colors, kick her out of the palace, and make her a stray dog ​​that everyone wanted to beat.

The king was certainly not a complete fool. He had calmed down and knew that Ye Qingqing was right. They had to find that poisonous snake, or who knows what other poison they would give him.

Ye Qingqing continued, "Your Majesty, this poison has been in use for at least five years, which means that the person who was secretly lurking there had entered the palace at least five years ago, possibly even longer, and she was able to get close to Your Majesty's food."

Julie bit her lip, her eyes blazing with venom. This bitch was practically calling her by name, damn it!

"Father, I think it would be better to let Physician Ye stay at the palace. She is knowledgeable about poisons and can help find the murderer. What do you think?"

Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. This woman was definitely up to no good. However, staying overnight at the palace wasn't out of the question. In any case, she had already intimidated the king, so her safety shouldn't be a problem. Plus, she could keep an eye on Julie.

“I would be happy to help Your Majesty and stay overnight is no problem, but I have to stay with my brother.”

The king readily agreed and ordered his men to arrange VIP rooms. He also ordered a state of emergency in the entire palace, allowing entry but not exit. To avoid suspicion, the White Dragon Master offered to stay overnight in the palace. The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became tense, and everyone was filled with anxiety.

As darkness fell, the king hosted a banquet for Ye Qingqing and her companions, serving authentic Chinese cuisine. The king was eager to please them, as he still needed Ye Qingqing to save his life!

Ye Qingqing glanced at Julie and a thought struck her. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty, actually, we Chinese have an excellent method for detoxifying. Using it a few times will definitely reduce Your Majesty's pain."

When she performed acupuncture on the king, she intentionally inserted a few extra needles, which made the king's life much more difficult. He felt uncomfortable all over, and the poison in his body wasn't that hard to cure. Ye Qingqing was just deliberately keeping him in suspense.
