After leaving the King's residence, the Queen and Ye Qingqing walked together. The White Dragon Mage was left behind by the King. Ye Qingqing inquired about Princess Basha, and the Queen smiled and said, "I was just about to go see her. Come with me!"

Ye Qingqing had no objection. She felt quite sorry for Princess Basha. It was a pity that she had a selfish and cold-blooded father like the King and a vicious sister like Julie. The Queen herself couldn't even take care of her three children, so she certainly wouldn't care about children who were not related to her by blood.

"Your Majesty, will Basha's engagement continue?" Ye Qingqing couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, the royal family cannot go back on its word, and the king will not change his mind," the queen replied.

The engagement was already made and would never be changed. Even if the king regretted it a little, Basha still had to marry him. In fact, the queen felt quite sorry for Basha, but she wouldn't meddle in this matter. If she were her own daughter, she would of course protect her with all her might.

Ye Qingqing sighed inwardly. It seemed that Basha couldn't escape this marriage, but it wasn't entirely a dead end. After getting married, she could still find another way. At worst, she could just leave, change her identity in another country, and never return to Thailand.

Basha's palace was in a remote corner of the palace, and it took quite a while to get there. But as soon as she arrived at the palace gate, a maid rushed out in a panic. Upon seeing the Queen, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, trembling all over.

"What happened?" the queen demanded.

The maid looked terrified, covered in sweat, as if she had seen something horrifying. She couldn't utter a single word for a long time, clearly shaken to the point of speech impairment. Ye Qingqing took out a golden needle and pricked the maid's nape.

“Your Highness…she…she’s dead…” the maid cried.

Ye Qingqing was startled and reacted faster than the Queen. She rushed into the palace. Basha was lying quietly on the bed, dressed neatly, with a peaceful expression. She was even wearing makeup, and the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, as if she were asleep.

The Queen rushed in, examined Basha's nose, her expression changed drastically, and she slapped her niece across the face, yelling, "I told you to keep an eye on the princess! What are you doing?"

The maid knelt on the ground, crying all she could do, her face deathly pale, completely lost.

If something happens to the princess, she certainly won't survive either.

Ye Qingqing had already checked Basha's breathing; there was no heat, but her body was still warm. She then checked her carotid artery and felt a faint pulse. Overjoyed, she quickly took out her golden needles. "She's still breathing. Get this person out of here and don't disturb me."

The Queen hurriedly had the weeping maidservant taken away. She herself dared not breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing Ye Qingqing. She did not want anything to happen to Basha. The King had entrusted her with guarding Basha, and if Basha died, the King would surely blame her.

Ye Qingqing didn't dare to delay. She disinfected the golden needles and moved with lightning speed, like a phantom. In an instant, Basha's body was covered with golden needles. The Queen was shocked and terrified. She had finally witnessed Ye Qingqing's skills and dared not underestimate her.

After using the Soul-Chasing Golden Needles, Ye Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. She had done her best, and whether Basha could be saved depended on fate.

"If he wakes up within half an hour, he'll be fine. Let's leave it to fate!"

Ye Qingqing wiped her sweat and looked around the room. The furnishings were very simple, a stark contrast to the magnificent decorations of the palace. It was as plain as an ordinary girl's room. The table was neatly arranged, and Basha's clothes and hair were also very tidy.

On the surface, it appears that Basha committed suicide.

The queen was flustered and her face was very pale. Ye Qingqing had a sudden thought and remembered something.
