Julie's heart tightened, and she dared not look Ye Qingqing in the eye. She felt uneasy and subconsciously pulled her hand back to cover the gauze on her arm.
"Of course, I did it all myself from start to finish."
Julie looked calm and composed, showing no sign of guilt.
Ye Qingqing turned her head and said to the king, "Your Majesty, cutting flesh to heal relatives is a secret recipe that has been passed down in our country for a long time. As long as one is filial and the flesh is from a close relative, it will definitely have a miraculous effect. However, if it is not from a relative, it will only have the opposite effect, causing serious illness or even death."
After spouting a bunch of nonsense, the king was terrified by Ye Qingqing and asked in a trembling voice, "Divine Physician, I just vomited blood, will I be alright?"
"Your Majesty, rest assured, fortunately the treatment was timely. You will be fine after a few days of rest. But Your Majesty's condition was indeed very dangerous just now, and you almost..." Ye Qingqing shook her head, looking frightened.
The queen wiped her eyes, tears streaming down her face. She clasped her hands together and bowed deeply. "Thank you, Buddha, for your protection. I truly wish I could suffer the pain and torment in place of Your Majesty, even if it shortens my life by ten years!"
Ye Qingqing forced a smile, otherwise she would have burst out laughing. The Queen adapted so quickly; she only had to say "an eye for an eye" before she had already learned it so well.
In fact, the queen came from a powerful family and was both beautiful and talented. They were deeply in love for a while after their marriage. However, because the king was a scoundrel and the queen was not a delicate woman, she had the pride and reserve of a noblewoman. So, as time went on, conflicts arose between the couple.
But in reality, these were all minor issues. If it weren't for Julie's meddling, the conflict between the Queen and the King wouldn't have escalated to the point where their relationship had deteriorated to the point of complete silence.
The queen was also stubborn, so she simply stood her ground against the king, refusing to admit her mistakes and even planning to divorce him. This completely enraged the king, who would have divorced her long ago if it weren't for the influence of the queen's family.
Ye Qingqing only instructed the Queen to learn from Julie's actions. If the Queen wanted to get rid of the scumbag king, she had to learn Julie's innocent and cunning methods and win the king over first. Otherwise, she would be powerless against the king and would have no chance of leaving the palace.
It seems the Queen is doing very well in her studies, and the King is very moved. His gaze towards the Queen is now more tender. Julie, however, has red eyes. She had gone to great lengths to sabotage the relationship between the Queen and the King, but Ye Qingqing's arrival has reconciled the two of them. How despicable!
The queen wiped away her tears and asked, "Divine Physician, what exactly is wrong with the meat soup?"
All that buildup was just to get to this one question. Ye Qingqing understood immediately and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I've already made it very clear that only the flesh of a close relative will have an effect. There's only one possibility that Your Majesty had an accident after eating the meat soup."
The Queen continued, "Is this meat soup not made from the flesh of a close relative? Julie, what exactly is going on?"
The king also looked at Julie with a dignified gaze. He even began to doubt Julie's bloodline. Could it be that she had been cuckolded?
Julie's nose was beaded with sweat as she protested, "Father, I did as this quack doctor told me to do. I prayed sincerely last night and even cooked meat soup myself. Look at my hands!"
She raised her left hand, which was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and the faint traces of blood made the king's expression soften a little. Just then, Lu Mo, who had been silent all along, suddenly threw something at Julie's left side.
