Such women are specially trained to possess a charm technique, to the extent that no man can resist them.
So, Su Wan'er, or rather Si Junlin, should be glad that they swapped bodies. Otherwise, if Si Junlin had met such a woman, he might well have fallen into her trap. But that's a story for later.
The first thing Su Wan'er did after returning to the palace was to summon the King of Luo and intended to ask him how his time with the Southern Border Princess had been.
When the King of Luo came to the palace, Su Wan'er almost didn't recognize him. Su Wan'er asked in puzzlement, "King of Luo, what's happened to you?"
The King of Luo said with a long face, "Your Majesty, could you please take back your order? I really don't want to accompany that witch from the Southern Border anymore. She's too terrifying."
Su Wan'er looked at him in confusion. "What on earth did the Southern Border Princess do to you to make you so scared?"
The King of Luo wiped away a non - existent tear and then explained to Su Wan'er.
Since the day Su Wan'er ordered him to entertain the witch from the Southern Border, he was quite happy in the first few days. After all, he could enjoy the scenery, be accompanied by a beauty, and relieve his Majesty's worries. It was a win - win situation.
However, as he spent more time with the Southern Border Princess, he found that she was very different from the women in the Jin Kingdom, both in her habits and the way she did things. He simply couldn't accept it.
So, he started to keep his distance from the Southern Border Princess.
But did she agree? Of course not. Instead, the Southern Border Princess got even closer to him.
He felt that due to his long - term depression, his body had started to show signs of discomfort.
So, for the sake of his own health, he could only ask Su Wan'er to replace him with someone else.
After listening to him, Su Wan'er frowned.
"When did you start feeling unwell?" Su Wan'er asked.
The King of Luo recalled for a moment and then replied, "Your Majesty, it hasn't been long. It's only been about two or three days."
Su Wan'er turned to Fang Xi and said, "Fang Xi, go to the Queen's palace and invite Imperial Physician Zhang."
Although Fang Xi didn't understand why his master had suddenly become so serious, since the order had been given, he had to follow it.
"Your Majesty, there's no need. I've already asked the doctor in my mansion to take care of me," the King of Luo said.
But Su Wan'er didn't think so. "How can the doctor in your mansion be compared to an imperial physician? Listen to me. Let the imperial physician check you before you go back."
Seeing that Su Wan'er had said so, the King of Luo didn't dare to refuse. He sat down in the seat arranged by Su Wan'er and waited for the imperial physician.
Before long, Imperial Physician Zhang came with Fang Xi.
As soon as he arrived, Su Wan'er asked him to check the King of Luo.
The sudden change in the King of Luo made Su Wan'er wonder if the Southern Border Princess had played some kind of trick.
After diagnosing for a while, Imperial Physician Zhang's face immediately became serious.
"How is it?" Seeing his serious face, Su Wan'er's heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, the King of Luo is not seriously ill, but..." Imperial Physician Zhang looked a bit embarrassed.
Su Wan'er said directly, "Imperial Physician Zhang, just speak your mind."
"Yes." Imperial Physician Zhang said seriously, "It seems that the King of Luo's vital energy has been drained away and can't be restored, which has led to his current state."
"His vital energy has been drained away? Is there really a monster in this world?" Su Wan'er pondered. No matter how she thought about it, she felt her idea was unbelievable.
However, whether Su Wan'er believed it or not, the King of Luo's situation was right in front of her. She couldn't help but believe it.
The only solution now was, "Imperial Physician Zhang, do you have a solution?"
Imperial Physician Zhang knelt on the ground with a thud. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although I know that the King of Luo has lost a great deal of his vital energy and I also know how to replenish it, if the root cause is not removed, it will only be a temporary solution. It may even threaten the King of Luo's life."
"How can we find the root cause?" Su Wan'er asked.
"Your Majesty, I do have a way." Su Wan'er's self - talking gave Imperial Physician Zhang an idea.
Su Wan'er asked, "Imperial Physician Zhang, if you have a way, just say it."
"I've heard that the King of Luo has been getting quite close to the people from the Southern Border recently. I think if we can gather all those who have met the Southern Border Princess and let me take a look, we should get some results."
Su Wan'er fell silent. This matter was of great importance. It not only concerned the King of Luo's safety but also the relationship between the two countries. If it was not handled properly, they might lose out on both fronts.
However... the King of Luo was Si Junlin's younger brother. National affairs could be negotiated, but family ties couldn't be severed.
Su Wan'er decided to take a gamble.
"Fang Xi, order people to summon those who have come into contact with the Southern Border Princess recently. Remember, this matter must be kept secret. No one from the Southern Border Kingdom should know about it," Su Wan'er said to Fang Xi.
Fang Xi replied and left.
The King of Luo looked at Su Wan'er in confusion. "Your Majesty, is this matter related to the people from the Southern Border?"
Su Wan'er neither said yes nor no. She simply replied, "It's just a suspicion for now. We're not sure."
After that, Su Wan'er arranged a room for the King of Luo, while she received one by one those wealthy young masters who had accompanied her to receive the Southern Border Princess.
As soon as they entered the room, they had to be examined by Imperial Physician Zhang first.
In fact, there was no need for a very detailed examination. One could tell at a glance what their physical conditions were like.
Among these young masters, one was already like an old man on his last legs. Others were either as seriously weakened as the King of Luo or had just started to show signs of physical decline. Of course, there were also a few who were perfectly fine.
After these young masters left, Su Wan'er turned to Imperial Physician Zhang and asked, "Imperial Physician Zhang, do you have a conclusion now?"
Imperial Physician Zhang nodded. "I already have an answer. All these young masters revolved around the Southern Border Princess. If I'm not mistaken, the root cause of this matter is the Southern Border Princess."
"Then... do you have a treatment method?" This was what Su Wan'er was most concerned about.
Imperial Physician Zhang shook his head helplessly. "I'm really powerless. The person who tied the bell must untie it. If we really want to relieve these young masters' physical decline, we may have to go to the Southern Border Princess."
