The queen no longer cared about Concubine Shu's attempts to stop her, and she waved her hand and gave the order directly.

"Someone, stop Concubine Shu!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of maids and old women rushed out from behind her. Although there were also people on Concubine Shu's side, the Queen was obviously well prepared and brought twice as many people as Concubine Shu.

In just a few breaths, her men were subdued and she was also restrained.

"You are so presumptuous! I am your concubine, please let me go."

"You are the one who is insolent. I am the queen." The queen glared at her coldly. She had no time to deal with her and turned around and went straight into the bedroom.

But she saw the King of Beidi sitting on the bed with his back to her, roaring angrily: "Get out!"

He seemed to be trembling with anger. This familiar voice made the queen's heart tremble. She bowed in fear and said, "I know I was wrong."

After saying this, she didn't dare to stay here any longer and quickly retreated. As soon as she left, the King of Beidi fell limply on the bed.

Wan Shufang quickly reached out to support him and placed him safely on the bed.

"Although this tool is easy to use, it can only last for one minute, which is still too short." Wan Shufang sighed and put the tool into the space.

The situation was urgent just now, and she had no choice but to use the tools in the space to control the king into a puppet, and said "Get out" to intimidate the queen.

But the effect lasted too short a time, and wore off almost as soon as the person left. This made her feel fortunate that the queen left early.

Seeing this, Chen Changli also came out from the darkness and patted her shoulder: "Shufang, can he be saved?"

At the same time, Concubine Shu also ran in and looked at the bed anxiously: "I just heard the king talking, is the king awake?"

Hearing this, the two shook their heads. Wan Shufang told Concubine Shu what had just happened. When Concubine Shu learned that it was just an illusion, disappointment appeared in her eyes.

But he quickly calmed down and cheered up: "Madam, can the king's illness be cured?"

"It's possible, but I need to find the cause. Arrange for someone to guard outside. Don't let anyone force their way in again."

"it is good."

Concubine Shu nodded in agreement and went to make arrangements. Chen Changli sat quietly by the side, always alert to his surroundings and protecting Wan Shufang. This was what Chen Changli would do every time she saved someone in the past.

With the quiet environment, Wan Shufang could take the patient's pulse with peace of mind. After half a day, she finally found the cause of the disease and was overjoyed.

He immediately took out the silver needles and performed acupuncture on the King of Beidi.

After a set of acupuncture techniques, the King of Beidi coughed a few times and then slowly opened his eyes. Concubine Shu also saw it and was immediately delighted: "Your Majesty, you are finally awake!"

There were still silver needles stuck in the body of the King of Beidi. She didn't dare to touch him and could only look at Wan Shufang cautiously, her eyes filled with tears.

Seeing this, Wan Shufang inserted the last needle. After a moment, she took the pulse of the King of Beidi to make sure he was fine before putting away the silver needle.

In an instant, Concubine Shu threw herself into the man's arms, crying loudly: "Your Majesty, I...I was so worried about you. I thought you were going to abandon me."

Hearing this cry, the King of Beidi felt a headache and reached out to touch the ends of her hair: "My beloved, don't cry. I am fine now. Isn't this nothing?"

As he spoke, he wiped away her tears lovingly. Shufei was the woman he loved the most, so naturally he didn't want to see her cry. Even though she was a sick patient, he still held her and comforted her for a long time.

Seeing the two of them being affectionate for a while, Wan Shufang hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but interrupt: "Your Majesty, the king's body hasn't recovered yet, he needs careful care, don't cry yourself to death."

As soon as these words were spoken, Concubine Shu's body stiffened and she quickly retreated, looking at King Beidi worriedly. She was relieved to see that he was fine. At this time, King Beidi also noticed Chen Changli and Wan Shufang.

He had met Chen Changli before, so he guessed Wan Shufang's identity and quietly thanked them, "My Lord and Madam, thank you so much for saving my life. When I recover, I will definitely host a banquet to express my gratitude to you both."

"It's a small favor, King Beidi, so don't be polite. However, the most urgent thing is to be careful of the person who drugged you and catch him as soon as possible. After all, you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days."

Wan Shufang's words made the King of Beidi and Concubine Shu's faces darken, and they all agreed.

"Yes, we must catch him."

"But who drugged the king?" Concubine Shu was full of confusion. The king's meals had all been specially tested by someone. It should be impossible for someone to do it so easily.

Chen Changli and Wan Shufang were not from Beidi, so naturally they were even less clear.

The situation was at a standstill for a moment. After thinking for a moment, Wan Shufang slowly spoke: "I think the real murderer's goal is to make the King of Beidi unconscious."

"The enemy is in the dark, while we are in the light. Perhaps, we can continue the show and lure the snake out of its hole." After she finished speaking, she looked at the king with a serious expression: "My king, for the next few days, you will continue to pretend to be unconscious in the palace."

"To the outside world, we lied and said that the king had a cold."

As she spoke, she seemed to feel something was wrong. She paused before continuing, "It's too dangerous for the king's daughter to do this. It's better to find someone else to do it. That way, we can see what the real culprit is going to do."

Hearing this, the two men agreed and immediately summoned many people to compare their statures.

But after searching for a long time, the King of Beidi felt that there was no one useful among the crowd.

"Damn it, there is no one like me." He rubbed his aching brow with his hand, his thoughts churning, and he raised his eyes and inadvertently glanced at Chen Changli.

Suddenly I felt that Chen Changli's figure was very suitable.

He thought so in his heart, and the next second, he spoke happily: "My Lord, you seem to have a similar figure to me..."

"If we're talking about disguising ourselves as the king, the Duke is definitely the best choice."

Hearing his words, Wan Shufang and Shufei also turned their eyes to Chen Changli. They had been picking with him for a whole day and were now visually exhausted.

But she still saw that Chen Changli was a suitable candidate. Wan Shufang pursed her lips and said nothing. This was Beidi's family affair, and she privately didn't want Chen Changli to get involved.

But Concubine Shu nodded vigorously and agreed: "Yes, if your Excellency were to wear the king's clothes, he would look a bit like him."

Upon hearing this, the King of Beidi did not delay at all. He immediately asked someone to get a piece of clothing and showed it to Chen Changli for comparison. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

His martial arts skills were not high, and it would be too dangerous for him to lure out the real murderer. Therefore, the King of Beidi would never be willing to take the risk, but he could not find a suitable person in the palace.

If they continue to search in a high-profile manner, the other party will probably know their plan before they can lead to the real culprit. By then, the person who drugged the person will be on guard, and they will be even less likely to catch him.

Thinking of this, the King of Beidi looked at Chen Changli with hope: "Sir, would you mind pretending to be me once? If you succeed, I will reward you handsomely."
