Ye Qingqing sneered, "If the king doesn't think about being diligent in governing and caring for his people, and instead believes in this kind of fate theory, the royal family will be ruined by him sooner or later."
This king has been in the news more often than celebrities in the entertainment industry; he's practically an oddity in the royal family. He's always either flaunting his wealth or changing lovers; he's never idle for a day.
"No, the monarchy is hereditary, and government affairs are basically managed by the cabinet. The king only needs to enjoy himself," Lu Mo explained.
Perhaps it is precisely because they have too much free time that they have caused so many troubles. If they had to deal with a pile of official documents as soon as they opened their eyes every day and also worry about national affairs, how would they have the mind and time to have fun!
Ye Qingqing pouted, feeling incredibly jealous. This kind of person was born standing at the finish line.
Lu Mo added, "Setting a wedding date is good; at least Princess Basha will be safe before the wedding."
After marrying into the Li family, she can find a way to escape; the Li family is not as heavily guarded as the royal palace.
Three days later, the White Dragon Master had already spoken with the King and was going to take them into the palace. Once they were in the palace, Julie would definitely not be able to keep it a secret.
“It’ll be impossible to hide it sooner or later. As long as we gain the king’s trust, Julie is nothing to fear.” Lu Mo wasn’t worried.
Julie's biggest backer is the king, so the most urgent thing is to gain the king's trust so that they can do whatever they want in T country.
Royal Palace
The royal palace of King T was decorated very luxuriously, glittering with gold. It seemed that the people here had a particular fondness for gold, as the palace's main color scheme was gold. Ye Qingqing's eyes were dazzled; it was truly blinding.
The king was in his early forties, though he was actually close to sixty. He was very well-preserved. After the White Dragon Master bowed, he introduced Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo. Hearing that they came from the mysterious ancient country of China and were descendants of the legendary physician Hua Tuo, the king was quite interested.
To pique the king's interest, the White Dragon Master and the Queen conspired to come up with this plan: to say that Ye Qingqing was the Nth generation descendant of Hua Tuo, since Hua Tuo was the king's most trusted physician.
Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo also bowed and sat down at the lower end, very close to the king. Ye Qingqing secretly observed them.
The king looked very healthy, with a ruddy complexion, and appeared to be in excellent health. However, this ruddy complexion was extremely abnormal, indicating that there was toxic heat in his internal organs, caused by the use of potent and dangerous medicine. Ye Qingqing had a general idea of what was going on and felt more confident.
"Which of you is a descendant of Hua Tuo?" the king asked, his voice dignified.
"It's me."
Ye Qingqing stood up and raised her head. The king, who hadn't looked closely before, was startled when he saw her beauty. His eyes became somewhat infatuated. Ye Qingqing frowned, lowered her head, and felt disgusted.
Lu Mo clenched his fists, his expression calm, but there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.
Master Bailong sighed inwardly and said loudly, "Your Majesty has been suffering from angina for many years. This Physician Ye has cured patients with similar conditions to Your Majesty before, which is why I specially invited Physician Ye to treat Your Majesty. Only when Your Majesty is healthy can you bring more blessings to the people of the country..." (omitting two hundred words of flattery)
Ye Qingqing's lips twitched. You really can't judge a book by its cover. This White Dragon Mage seems honest and kind, but he's a master at flattery. No wonder he's appreciated by the king.
The king was overjoyed by the flattery and granted Ye Qingqing permission to take his pulse, but—
"Father..."
Julie rushed over and, seeing that it was indeed Ye Qingqing, her eyes blazed with fury. That damned bitch dared to come to the palace and walk right into her trap; she wouldn't hold back.
