Shui Qingli wondered in her heart, did her uncle harm her father? But she still sat down patiently. Shui Danian looked at Zhang Beixing and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this must be Zhang Beixing from the Jiuzhou Empire." Zhang Beixing nodded.

Shui Danian suddenly pulled out a needle from his pocket that was as thin as an ox hair, but extremely hard. Zhang Beixing frowned. He naturally knew that this needle was very powerful. He now understood that the other party was trying to intimidate him, and he was already prepared. If he really confronted the other party, he was not completely sure.

Shui Qingli was shocked when he saw Zhang Beixing's appearance. Could it be that Zhang Beixing was no match for his uncle? Shui Danian said leisurely: "Wenrou, I am the real king now, and your father has passed the position to me."

Shui Lili was about to speak in dissatisfaction, but Shui Qingli pulled her arm, reminding her to be aware of her status. In this situation, it was not her turn to speak.

"Uncle, can you tell me what's going on? Where is my father?" Shui Qingli asked. Shui Danian took out a letter from the desk and asked Shui Qingli to read it himself.

Shui Qingli quickly took the letter, glanced at it, and confirmed that it was indeed his father's handwriting.

The letter said that his father had been troubled recently and planned to travel. He did not want his family to look for him and just wanted to be alone. He would return when the time was right, and the state affairs would be left to his younger brother.

Things seem simple and clear, but Shui Qingli has doubts in his heart. His father has always had a strong desire for control and is obsessed with the position of leader. How could he let it go so easily?

"Uncle, is this letter really written by my father?" she couldn't help asking.

"How ridiculous! Don't you even recognize your father's handwriting? Many people witnessed it with their own eyes." Shui Danian responded.

Shui Qingli thought to himself, those so-called witnesses are nothing more than his uncle's confidants, how can their testimonies be counted?

"Impossible, my father would never give up his position voluntarily. You should know his character," she said firmly.

Shui Danian put out his cigarette, as if he had expected her to react like this.

"Girl, people change. Just because they were unwilling before doesn't mean they are unwilling now. It's such a simple truth, and you are so smart, you should understand it, right?" he said slowly.

Shui Lili was about to speak, but Shui Qingli shook his head, signaling her not to interrupt. Although Zhang Beixing did not believe Shui Danian's words, as an outsider, it was not convenient for him to speak at this time. Of course, if Shui Qingli allowed, he would be willing to express his own opinion.

"But my parents and I have gone to the Jiuzhou Empire, don't you care at all?" Shui Qingli asked anxiously, while carefully observing Shui Danian's eyes.

"Girl, how could I not care? I sent people to look for you, but unfortunately found nothing." Shui Danian said with a wronged look on his face, and also said that he could call the people who were there to confront Shui Qingli. As for the wife of the king, he admitted that he really didn't care much about her life or death.

Shui Qingli felt helpless. He knew the other party was a bad guy, but he couldn't find a solution for a while.

"Well, now that you're back, I have to treat you well." Shui Da Nian said, then turned to Zhang Beixing and asked him if he needed anything. Just ask, this place is like his own home.

There was no sign of hostility between the two countries on his face. Instead, he looked like he was entertaining a close guest.

Zhang Beixing glanced at Shui Qingli and signaled her to settle down first and then slowly investigate the truth of the matter. After all, asking casually would not yield any results.

Shui Qingli understood what he meant, stood up and said, "Okay then, uncle, I'll arrange a room for him to stay in first."

After saying that, she took Zhang Beixing to the backyard, while Shui Danian had a smile on his face.

On the way, Shui Lili said with deep sorrow: "Miss, I never thought Shui Danian would be such a ruthless guy."

"I didn't expect that he, who is usually so low-key, could be so insidious." Shui Qingli echoed.

Zhang Beixing sighed inwardly, these two girls are still too naive. How can there be any family affection in the royal family?

Shui Lili looked at Zhang Beixing with dissatisfaction: "Why didn't you say a word just now? Aren't you quite capable? Are you gloating over other people's misfortunes and don't want to care at all?"

Zhang Beixing remained silent.

Shui Qingli scolded Shui Lili: "That occasion is not suitable for him to speak, please stop talking."

Shui Lili snorted coldly, thinking that the young lady was too biased towards Zhang Beixing.

Soon, they arrived at the guest room. Shui Lili said that she usually didn't stay here, but now was a special situation, so she had to stay here first.

She and Shui Qingli lived in the same room, while Zhang Beixing lived next door. Unexpectedly, their room was a large suite with an inner room and an outer room, so Zhang Beixing naturally lived in the outer room.

Shui Qingli said that this way Zhang Beixing could protect them.

After they sat down on the sofa, Shui Qingli asked Zhang Beixing: "Do you think it's difficult to deal with my uncle?"

"Yes, his acupuncture skills are very powerful, and I am not completely sure. He came prepared and may have expected my coming." Zhang Beixing said truthfully.

Shui Qingli knew very well that their every move might be calculated by the other party.

Shui Lili said to Shui Qingli, since you are tired, you might as well take a bath first.

"Okay, go get me some water." Shui Qingli ordered.

After a while, the two girls went to take a shower, and Zhang Beixing heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

He planned to talk to Shui Danian about the island later.

Not long after, the two girls finished their showers and came out. Zhang Beixing took the opportunity to speak out what was on his mind.

"Actually, when you saw my uncle for the first time, did you want to talk to him about this matter?" Shui Qingli asked.

Zhang Beixing nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case.

After all, there is no need to avoid this issue. Shui Qingli knows in her heart that Zhang Beixing has always had this plan, but he just didn't say it out loud in order not to make her sad.

Shui Lili naturally disagreed. "He's not the real king, what are you talking to him about?"

Shui Qingli advised Shui Lili, "Can you please stop talking nonsense? Go clean up the room. You have nothing to do here. Zhang Beixing and I have something to talk about. Don't interrupt."

Shui Lili had to go to work angrily.

"I understand what you mean. You just want to use my uncle's name to quickly settle the matter, so that no matter what kind of coup happens in Lin State, it will have nothing to do with you." Shui Qingli said bluntly.

Zhang Beixing nodded, it was indeed true.

Lin Guo’s affairs have nothing to do with him.

Shui Qingli sighed. She knew that she and Zhang Beixing represented different interests.

Zhang Beixing is concerned about the island issue, while she is concerned about her father.

But she couldn't force Zhang Beixing to help her.

Suddenly, she burst into tears.

"I was hoping you could save my father, but it seems there is no hope, because you probably don't want my father to become the king again."

This is the most painful thing for Shui Qingli, and he is not sure whether his father is alive or dead.

She also wanted to investigate her subordinates thoroughly, but she knew that since Shui Danian was so capable, he would have probably settled everything long ago.

Zhang Beixing said: "Let's think of a solution regarding your father's matter."

Shui Qingli suddenly remembered Zhou Yizhi and hurriedly called him, but the call was not connected.

In a fit of anger, she called Shui Danian directly.

"Oh, my dear niece, have the guests been settled? What do you want to see me for?"

"Uncle, I want to talk to Zhou Yizhi about something, but I can't contact him."

"Oh, you're looking for him. He's injured and in the hospital. The doctor told him to rest and not use electronic products, so he's not allowed to answer the phone."

Shui Qingli knew it was a lie as soon as he heard it. He estimated that Zhou Yizhi had also been controlled or even died.

Thinking about it this way, Shui Da Nian’s power is really terrifying.

After hanging up the phone, she didn't dare to think about it anymore. She was afraid that the same situation would happen to someone else. She felt creepy.

Suddenly, she put her hand on Zhang Beixing's arm. "Can you help me? If my father were still alive, if he was restored to health, I would pay any price to make him meet your request."

Zhang Beixing frowned and did not answer immediately.

Shui Qingli took his hand away, feeling very strange. Even if Shui Danian wanted to usurp the throne, he had already thought of a pretext, so why wasn't it reported in the news?
"Shouldn't he make this public?" Shui Qingli didn't understand.

Zhang Beixing shook his head.

"You don't know your own uncle, so how should I know?"

Shui Qingli's tears flowed down again, and she whispered: "I told you, I'm still a virgin."

Zhang Beixing felt a headache. Why did they do this again?
"Okay, stop talking. I will help you find out about your father, but there is a deadline. If you really can't find your father, I can only make a deal with your uncle."

Shui Qingli became happy when she heard him say that, but she also told Zhang Beixing that even if she really made a deal with her uncle, her uncle might not agree to return the island to the Kyushu Empire.

"Like you said, the kind of needle he had was very powerful. He might not even want to return the island."

"You have a point. Let's act according to circumstances. But don't worry, since I am willing to take care of your father's affairs, I will do my best."

Zhang Beixing said this very firmly.

Shui Qingli was particularly happy.

She asked Zhang Beixing why she was willing to give herself to him, but he was not willing?
"I don't want to take advantage of someone's misfortune, so just give up on that idea."

"I never thought you were such a gentleman."

The more Zhang Beixing acted like this, the more Shui Qingli liked him.

Zhang Beixing suddenly stood up and said, "There won't be any bugs in this room, right?"

"Don't worry, that won't happen. Shui Danian is a proud man and would never do such a thing."

Zhang Beixing nodded and said that he was a little tired and wanted to take a shower.

Zhang Beixing walked into the bathroom and was about to take off his clothes when he suddenly received a call from Wu Jinhua, asking him how he was doing.
Zhang Beixing gave a brief account and then asked if her parents had arrived.

"They just called and said they won't arrive until tomorrow morning. Zhang Beixing, you must be careful outside."

"Don't worry, I'll know what to do."

Next, Zhang Beixing started to take a bath.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Shui Lili hurried to open the door, only to see four or five beauties standing at the door, led by the senior manager Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi said that these beauties were specially given to Zhang Beixing by the king, and he asked Zhang Beixing to accept them.

Shui Lili felt very disgusted and said that she couldn't make the decision and had to ask the young lady.

Shui Qingli heard Lin Zhi's voice and asked him to come in quickly.

"Princess, the king sent some beauties to Mr. Fang, saying that it was to show the deep friendship between the two countries."

Then, the beauties also came into the house.

Shui Qingli stared at them and said:
"Get out, everyone! Who let you in?"

Then she looked at Lin Zhi and said:
"Are they so unruly?"

Lin Zhi quickly asked the princess to calm down and asked them to leave quickly.

"You can't just come in without the princess' permission. What's going on?"

After the girls went out, they began to wonder if this iron-blooded princess was not so iron-blooded after all, and could be quite scary when she got angry.

Shui Qingli didn't know why he was angry, he just felt very upset.

Lin Zhi said, "Princess, you must accept it, otherwise I won't be able to report back. By the way, where is Mr. Fang?"

He looked around.

"He's taking a shower. Don't ask him. Just go back."

Shui Qingli thought, I am so beautiful, but Zhang Beixing was not interested in me, so how could I like these beauties?

"Princess, isn't it inappropriate for you to make the decision on your own?"

"How dare you talk to me?"

Shui Qingli glared at Lin Zhi. This man was a lackey of Shui Danian. He used to be loyal to his father on the surface, but in fact, it was not the case at all. So he got angry when he saw him.

Shui Lili also wanted to scold him, but then she remembered her humble status and dared not say anything.

Lin Zhi said: "If the princess is in trouble, then I will wait for Mr. Fang."

"No, hurry up and leave. Don't disturb my rest, or I'll have to call and ask."

Having said that, she didn't give the other party a chance and called Shui Danian directly.

"My dear uncle, what can I do for you?"

The other party's voice sounded weird, which made Shui Qingli feel disgusted.

But Shui Qingli still asked.

"Uncle, why do you send so many beauties?"

"Isn't this just to show your hospitality?"

"But Mr. Fang is not a lecherous person. You might as well give him something else."

Shui Da Nian on the other end of the phone burst into laughter.

He said he could give other things as gifts, but they were just small things.

"I have already refused, but Lin Zhi doesn't dare to leave."

"Girl, it's not a good idea for you to make the decision for Mr. Fang. I don't know what he would say."

"He's taking a shower, but I'm sure he won't like it either."

Just then, Zhang Beixing suddenly walked out.

"What was going on with you guys making so much noise just now?" Zhang Beixing asked.

Shui Qingli explained the situation.

Zhang Beixing said: "Why did you refuse me? With such a good gift, of course I have to accept it."

Shui Qingli was stunned. She never expected Zhang Beixing to be this kind of person.

Lin Zhi laughed out loud. After all, which man doesn’t like beautiful women?
"What do you think? Princess, you should accept it."

Shui Danian on the other end of the phone said the same thing. (End of this chapter)
