Supermarkets are the world of beasts, and beastly husbands are all tools!

Su Xiyao saw her expression of shock, hurt, and hesitation, "Or do you mean, you don't believe what I say?"

The Mermaid Queen shook her head and said, "You are a Saint, and I believe what you say. I just didn't expect the witch doctor in the Imperial City to betray me. I have kept him by my side for decades, and I have always respected him as an elder. I didn't expect him to want to kill me."

"This isn't something that can be done by just one person. There must be more than just one traitor infiltrating around you. There must be at least two or more."

Su Xiyao pondered for a moment and said, "If the poison could be placed in a place where you didn't even notice, it must be the food. The cook should also check it carefully... While I'm staying here temporarily, I'll take care of your food."

"Leave it to you? Is that what I thought it meant?"

The Mermaid Queen was confused by Su Xiyao's swift and decisive actions, and felt that she was being arranged clearly.

"Yes, I'll cover all your food and drinks for the next few days."

Su Xiyao said generously, "I guarantee that the food I prepared will satisfy you and you'll want more."

The Mermaid Queen said with a smile, "I was worried about bothering you. I didn't have any other thoughts about the food."

Su Xiyao spread her hands and said, "It's okay. If you find it troublesome, I will tell you directly.

The Mermaid Queen's eyes softened considerably, and she curved her lips as she said, "I finally understand why Nanxing fell in love with you. It's not because you're a Saint, but because you're kind and warm, and your demeanor... If you were a Mermaid, I might pass the throne to you."

Su Xiyao's expression was embarrassed for a moment, "That's not the case. This is pure ingratitude."

The Mermaid Queen was puzzled. "Repaying kindness with hatred? Aren't power and the throne what most orcs desire?"

Su Xiyao said calmly, "Look at Nanxing, he's so confused and sometimes acts foolishly. Does he look like he hopes to inherit the throne? I can even see the embarrassment on his face just now. I don't believe the Queen didn't see it. You've been together longer than I have, so you should understand him better than I do."

The Mermaid Queen choked upon hearing this. "His father is my biological brother. He was once the most handsome man in the merman tribe. Many females came to him to propose marriage, but he rejected them all. I thought he didn't have any females he liked, until one day, he brought back the Water Qilin, a legendary beast that had a very difficult time conceiving offspring. However, she became pregnant with Nanxing, and she lived in the underwater city until Nanxing was born. She yearned for freedom and didn't like being bound. Originally, my brother was going to go with her, but the merman tribe was in turmoil at the time, so he stayed to help me. By the time the situation stabilized, the Water Qilin had disappeared! The merman tribe has only one partner in their lifetime. He didn't force the Water Qilin to have only him as her husband, but the Water Qilin was unwilling to stay in one place for him. Later... my already frail brother died of depression, and Nanxing grew up by my side like my own child."

"I'm not telling you all this because I want to force you to do anything. I just hope you won't lie to Nanxing. He's too naive, and I'm afraid he'll follow in his father's footsteps!"

"Then I'm afraid I can't give you a guarantee."

Su Xiyao's eyes were clear and bright, and she said bluntly, "It's easy to make promises, but no one can guarantee those words in the vague future. Do you believe me completely when I say it? If you really feel sorry for Nanxing, you should work hard to detoxify yourself and take some time to choose a suitable heir to the throne. Nanxing is more suitable to be an ordinary mermaid traveling around the world."

The Mermaid Queen: “…”

Why does she feel like she's being scolded?

creak!

When the door was opened again, the people waiting outside gathered around.

The witch doctor, in particular, came back and carefully examined the Mermaid Queen again, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he found that there were still some toxins remaining in her body.

Judging from his attentive and considerate appearance, you really wouldn't guess he's a traitor.

After the witch doctor left, the Mermaid Queen's face darkened. She instructed General Cheng Feng to send someone to secretly follow the witch doctor and find out who he had been meeting with recently.

General Cheng Feng guessed the reason at once, his face turned ugly, and he immediately tracked them down personally.

Not long after, he returned with a tense expression.

"This damn guy actually colluded with the mermaids of the Evilwater Tribe to harm Her Majesty the Queen!"

General Cheng Feng knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, let me capture him now. This vicious creature deserves death by slow slicing."

The Mermaid Queen did not answer immediately, but looked at Su Xiyao instead.

Su Xiyao said slowly, "Don't worry. If I intervene in this matter, they will get anxious. The more anxious they are, the easier it will be for them to reveal their true intentions. Then it will be justifiable to send troops to capture them."

The Mermaid Queen curved her lips and said, "Then listen to Yaoyao."

"Yes!"

For several days in a row, the mermaid queen's diet and physical care were taken care of by females from outside.

The witch doctor and the cook were very dissatisfied. They went to Elder Turtle and General Chengfeng to complain and say bad things about Su Xiyao, but they were all rejected. They felt resentful and finally couldn't bear it anymore. They secretly went to Doug to discuss it. Little did they know that their actions had already been seen by General Chengfeng.

Soon, the Evil Water Tribe sent Doug and Princess Danting to visit the Mermaid Queen, under the pretext of fulfilling a marriage contract.

Princess Danting is as beautiful and gentle as her name suggests.

With long blue curly hair draped over her back and innocent eyes wide open, she first glanced at Nanxing and saw that he was frowning and had a look on his face that said, "I'm not interested in you." She didn't care and glanced vaguely at Muye and Su Xiyao beside him.

After passing over Mu Ye's body, she stared at Su Xiyao with interest, with the corners of her lips curved, and she actually gave her a friendly smile.

Doug's sly eyes fell on the Mermaid Queen. He smiled and said, "I heard that the Mermaid Queen hasn't been feeling well recently. Our leader sent me to prepare some rare medicinal herbs. I can have the witch doctor take them down and stew them for Her Majesty to take."

The witch doctor present immediately cried out in grievance, "Alas, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to see Her Majesty. Ever since the female from outside came, she's been treating Her Majesty. There's no place for me here. That's not a problem, but I'm more worried about Her Majesty's health..."

Doug immediately responded, "Oh? There's such a thing? Her Majesty would rather trust someone outside than the witch doctor who has been here for decades?"

Seeing the two guys singing in unison, performing a double act?

Doug was still trying to encourage other ministers and clan leaders of the mermaid tribe, but he was shocked to find that they were not moved at all.

Sure enough, does this saint have some special magical power?
