Julie was sent back to her palace, and her bloodied appearance terrified Lady Wu. She was both heartbroken and worried, fearing that the king would punish her daughter. She was on tenterhooks for a while, but when nothing happened, Lady Wu and Julie breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter had been resolved.

"We'll make our move tonight. Find someone to get rid of Ye Qingqing. We can't let her ruin my plans!" Julie gritted her teeth, the sharp pain in her arm making her hate Ye Qingqing to the core.

Madam Wu responded. This time, she supported her daughter. If they didn't take action soon, she and her daughter would soon be unable to stay in the palace.

However, before they could make the arrangements, the king's men arrived and took Madam Wu away without saying a word. Julie knew something was wrong and wanted to go to the king, but he was annoyed with her and refused to see her. He had to interrogate Madam Wu.

The king had no feelings for Lady Wu, because she was of humble origin, her parents were unknown, and she was not a stunning beauty. At that time, the king was emotionally empty and lonely. He wanted to seduce the young and beautiful Lady Wu, so they had a one-night stand and then Julie was born.

Two years later, Lady Wu came to the king's door. The king was reluctant to acknowledge her, but when he saw that Julie was quite beautiful, he softened and agreed. However, at that time Julie was not qualified to enter the palace. She lived outside the palace with Lady Wu and could only enter the palace once on holidays.

But ten years ago, due to her destiny, Julie's life took a dramatic turn for the better, and she became the king's most beloved daughter, wielding great power in the palace. Lady Wu also stayed in the palace as his wet nurse.

However, the king had never been fond of her, and now that Lady Wu was old and faded, the king wouldn't even give her a second glance.

The Queen personally interrogated her, but Lady Wu, deeply devoted to her daughter, insisted that the birthday she gave was correct, refusing to budge even under torture, leading to a stalemate. Lu Mo secretly sent a message to Miao Tianxiang—

"The time has come!"

The Queen's side was at a stalemate, and the King was preparing to conduct the trial himself. Officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rushed over and went to the King's study to discuss the matter for a while. The King returned with a dark face. Ye Qingqing knew what was going on and secretly found it amusing.

It must be Mrs. Dylan causing trouble on her turf. She won't let it go.

Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo returned to their residence, leaving the king to deal with these troublesome matters first, as he also had to entertain Lady Dylan!

The next day, the Queen invited Ye Qingqing to her palace, looking delighted. Ye Qingqing could tell at a glance that things had gone very well.

"Lady Dylan presented the video of the ball, and the King was furious. Julie tried to leave the palace last night, but my men detained her. She's currently under house arrest, and her passport and documents are with me. She can't go anywhere," the Queen said with a smile, looking refreshed and finally having vented her anger.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Ye Qingqing didn't say much. She and the Queen were just using each other and had no real relationship. Saying more would only make things worse, so it was best to say as little as possible.

The Queen added, “His Majesty has already sent people to St. Mary’s Hospital in Hong Kong to investigate. We will have the results soon. I should have sent people there to investigate sooner.”

Her tone was tinged with regret. If she had realized earlier that there was something wrong with the birthday, she would never have allowed that little brat to be so smug in the palace for so many years. The Queen was filled with regret.

Ye Qingqing smiled slightly, simply drinking her tea, and things were almost settled.

Sure enough, just one day later, the king was summoned by someone. Ye Qingqing was in good spirits, and the White Dragon Master was also there. Ye Qingqing took the king's pulse and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you are much better now."

The king was overjoyed. No wonder he felt much lighter. It was indeed that little wretch Julie who was causing him ten years of suffering.

But in reality, the Queen had been secretly giving the King pills given by Ye Qingqing. The comfort was only temporary; the King's health had long since deteriorated due to his addiction to women.
