Ye Qingqing wasn't worried about the king finding out. With the queen around, the king definitely wouldn't be able to find out for a while. Even if he did find out something later, she and Lu Mo would have already returned to China. The emperor was far away, and the king wouldn't dare to cause trouble in China.

Moreover, it's questionable whether the king will even have the energy for it by then.

Her medicine could only temporarily improve the king's condition, and at most he could last for six months. After six months, his body would gradually give out, and he would either be bedridden or die a violent death. Ye Qingqing naturally hoped for the latter.

The Queen thought the same way; divorce was definitely out of the question. The royal family wouldn't agree, and neither would her own family.

Therefore, the best way for the Queen to find relief is to wait for the King's death, then become the Queen Mother and support her twelve-year-old son to ascend the throne. In the magical royal family of T country, it is not surprising that a twelve-year-old becomes the King.

"The doctor's skills are superb; I must reward you." The king was in high spirits, his physical discomfort had vanished, and he was in a great mood, very grateful to Ye Qingqing.

Ye Qingqing smiled slightly and answered evasively, "It is my honor to treat His Majesty's illness."

This king is petty and capricious. She has to be extremely careful with her words, as even a single wrong word could bring disaster. In any case, saying something nice is definitely the safest bet.

Sure enough, the king was even happier and clamored for a reward. Ye Qingqing declined a few times, then simply kept quiet. If he really wanted a reward, he could just sign a check. Why keep asking her what she likes?

She loves money, but saying that makes her seem too vulgar; that's probably what that stupid king is thinking.

The Queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, girls all love beautiful jewelry. Physician Ye is young and beautiful with fair skin. I think it would be better to give Physician Ye the diamond necklace we bought earlier. She would look very beautiful wearing it."

Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat. A diamond necklace... that's a valuable treasure!

The king hesitated. The diamond necklace was expensive; it was originally a birthday gift for Julie. Although he wasn't going to give it to Julie now, he could give it to his future lover!

The Queen saw through his thoughts and sneered inwardly. She leaned closer and whispered in the local language, "Your Majesty, Miss Ye is a divine physician. If we can win her over and prescribe some longevity tonics for Your Majesty, Your Majesty will surely become the longest-reigning king in the history of T Kingdom."

The king's eyes lit up; the queen's words had struck a chord with him.

In terms of achievements, he can never surpass his ancestors, not even his father. But he should at least leave some commendable achievements for future generations. The longest reign is quite good, at least he can leave a strong mark in the history books of T country!

The king personally opened the safe. Inside was a beautiful pink diamond, heart-shaped. Ye Qingqing knew this pink diamond; it had been auctioned off for a huge price at a royal auction in Y country last year. She never expected that the mysterious person was this idiot king.

Ye Qingqing certainly liked this beautiful and valuable pink diamond, but she felt unworthy of it.

After all, she didn't cure the king.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but this is too much. Please forgive me for not being able to accept it." Ye Qingqing forced herself to refuse, suppressing her heartache.

She wouldn't accept something for nothing; accepting such a valuable diamond would make her uneasy and could also cause her trouble.

The Queen was somewhat surprised, not expecting Ye Qingqing to refuse such an expensive gift, which even she herself was tempted by!

The king was displeased, his face darkening. "Doctor Ye doesn't like this necklace? Do you think the diamonds are too small? What size would you like?"
