After a while, the group arrived at the side hospital where the king was recuperating.

The doctors moved quickly, one communicating with the king's personal physician to inquire about past medical history while the others began preliminary examinations.

Jiang Ruochu had seen the king in the news before. Even though he was old at that time, he was still full of energy and vigor with a lot of money. But now, he was like a dry skeleton wrapped in flesh and skin, lying lifeless on the bed.

If it weren't for the most advanced medical treatment, he would have died long ago.

Jiang Ruochu scanned the king using the [Magical Acupuncture] skill.

Ten minutes later, the system gave the answer.

[He was poisoned, and it was caused by long-term exposure to poison. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the royal family in real life to be similar to the one in the TV series, haha, the screenwriter didn't lie.]

The system has watched a lot of TV dramas and is very familiar with the palace fighting scenes.

[Given his current condition, it will take at least ten courses of treatment to recover.]

"Oh..." Jiang Ruochu responded listlessly. In her eyes, the honorable King was just a scumbag and an incompetent father.

If he was nice to Hackney and Sunas, even if he was not a king but just an ordinary person, Jiang Ruochu would immediately treat him.

【Do you want to give him acupuncture? 】

"No rush, let's let our medical team check it out first, just as a formality." Jiang Ruochu was worried that the doctors' acting skills were not good. If she directly pointed out that the king was poisoned, the queen would probably get wind of it soon, so she simply didn't say anything. The performance of "not knowing" was more realistic and would not give away the truth.

The system said in surprise and gossip, "Okay, but you can quickly tell Ye Sha about our new discovery!"

Now the relationship between the system and Yesha is very good, but as Jiang Ruochu's personal system, except for the group announcements it sends, which can be seen by Yesha, it is still impossible to communicate directly with Yesha at other times.

But that doesn't stop them from becoming gossip buddies.

It always likes to eat melons with Yesha.

It’s just that sometimes it’s hard for Jiang Ruchu, the middleman.

Jiang Ruochu once complained: "Why don't you just talk directly."

The system said, "No, no, I am a principled system. Once I bind you, I cannot be fickle and look for men outside."

Jiang Ruochu was full of questions at that time.

I am not afraid that the system is ignorant, but I am afraid that it is too sensible and can never produce ivory from a dog's mouth.

Ye Sha was not with her at the moment. Not long after entering the palace, she asked Ye Sha to turn into a cat to patrol and find out the truth and situation inside the palace.

As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy and you will be victorious in any battle.

Yesha can change its appearance and is most suitable for lurking.

Jiang Ruochu had nothing to do, so she sent a message to Hackney to tell her about the king's recent situation.

Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): Do you want me to save him?

Hackney (Romance Revenge): This man's life or death has nothing to do with me. If it doesn't affect Miss Jiang if he can't be cured, then so be it.

Hackney (Romance Revenge): And if you really ask me, I used to hate him. Now... he is not important to me.

Hackney has now completely given up on the king.

It is said that the greatest disheartening thing is not making a fuss, but not caring at all.

Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): Okay, since you and your daughter don’t care, I’ll just adapt to the situation.

For Jiang Ruochu, letting Sunas take the throne and eradicating the power of the queen's family all take precedence over saving the king.

Hackney (Romance Revenge): But there is one thing I am very curious about, why was he poisoned?

Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): What do you think?

Hackney (Romance Revenge): Was it Arianda who did it?

Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): There is no evidence yet, but since the king is dead, she is the biggest beneficiary, so it is likely to be her. But if we want to help your daughter overthrow Ariandai, we still need evidence.

Hackney (Romance Revenge): Based on your description, the symptoms of the king's poisoning are very similar to the voodoo of the Gunotan tribe in the southeast.

Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): Since it is your own tribe, why didn’t anyone realize that the symptoms are very similar to voodoo?

Hackney (Romance Revenge): Since the 1970s, Sharodiro has been undergoing a nationwide modernization, and many tribes have disappeared. This tribe has also disappeared for many years. Moreover, the Gunotan tribe is too small. If you are not a professional sociologist, you probably don’t know about this tribe, and it is even more difficult to learn about the voodoo formula that only wizards can know. I only learned about this when I participated in the ancient customs interest group in college and went to the field to collect folk songs.

Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): If we can start from this point and catch the real murderer, we will have a chance to catch the queen. If you overthrow the queen, your daughter will be able to rest easy.

Hackney (Romance Revenge): Thank you for planning this for my daughter.

Jiang Ruochu (Modern World): I help her not only because she is your daughter, but also because I consider her a friend.

Sometimes when making friends, it’s not the length of time you’ve been friends that counts, but whether you have similar personalities.

Jiang Ruochu and Sunas get along very well, so they are naturally willing to help her, or in other words, it is a mutually beneficial situation for them.

Just then, Yesha, who was inspecting the palace, came back.

His eyes sparkled and his whole body was filled with excitement.

But even though he was excited, his expression remained indifferent, and only someone who knew him very well like Jiang Ruochu could read his emotions.

Ye Sha rushed into the room like a gust of wind, took a quick look around, and then, under the gaze of everyone, pulled Jiang Ruochu aside.

"There is a discovery."
