After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

At this moment, she had no time to pay attention to Ye Yuanfeng. Even if they met, what difference would it make? In the end, it would just be a verbal dispute.

"Tell the guards that if Ye Yuanfeng is unwilling to leave, they should take action directly and not show any courtesy in front of me."

"Understood, sir." The servant replied and turned to leave, then relayed the words to the guards at the gate.

Upon hearing these words, the guard looked towards Ye Yuanfeng.

"Young Master Ye, you heard what was just said. The Princess Consort does not want to see you. If you continue to stand here, we will have no choice but to take action."

Ye Yuanfeng clenched his fists, suppressing his anger for the time being.

This Ye Qingwu is utterly heartless and ungrateful.

She simply didn't want to see him, and this enormous Regent's Palace was not a place he could possibly barge into.

Just as I was about to go back, I saw someone walking towards me.

"Miss Su, how is my second sister?"

Ye Yuanfeng quickly stepped forward and asked Su Yan.

"The situation has stabilized somewhat."

Ye Yuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the answer, but then saw Su Yan heading towards the Regent's Palace. Perhaps he could use this Miss Su to gain access to the Regent's Palace.

As long as I can see Ye Qingwu, there will definitely be a turning point in my second sister's situation.

To his surprise, Su Yan was also stopped by the guards when she approached the gate of the Regent's Palace.

"Miss Su, what brings you here?"

After Zhan Siwan's outburst last time, the guards dared not let anyone else in without orders.

Su Yan clearly didn't expect to be stopped at this moment.

"I've come to find my master."

"Miss Su's master... isn't that the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley?"

But today only an old man came to the mansion. Could that man be the legendary Valley Master of Medicine King Valley?

Thinking of this, the guard did not dare to hesitate and said to Su Yan, "Miss Su, please wait here. I will go and report to her immediately."

The guard who was speaking gave a wink to the person on the other side, then turned and headed into the mansion.

At this moment, Ye Qingwu was puzzled by the matter of the fourteen needles.

According to Lu Yin, the Fourteen Needles can suppress the Shadowless Poison in Zhan Sijing's body. Is there any connection between these two?

"Your Highness, how about you tell me how these pills are made, and I'll teach you all fourteen acupuncture techniques?"

Lu Yin studied these pills for a long time, but still couldn't figure them out.

Especially since these pills are completely free of any impurities in their medicinal properties, which is something that is simply impossible for humans to achieve.

But Ye Qingwu actually managed to refine this different kind of elixir.

"Valley Master, your plan is quite clever, but even if I tell you the method for refining pills, you may not have the necessary conditions."

I advise you to give up.

Lu Yin sighed, feeling deeply regretful.

"Speaking of pills, I have indeed seen the same kind as yours."

"Oh?" Ye Qingwu asked in confusion, clearly intrigued by what Lu Yin had said.

"Then tell me."

"That is the Imperial Preceptor."

"However, as you also know, this Grand Preceptor is extremely mysterious. No one knows where he came from, so it's not surprising that he might have some unusual abilities."

As Lu Yin was speaking, he seemed to think of something, and his gaze suddenly fixed on Ye Qingwu.

"Your Highness, you wouldn't happen to possess extraordinary abilities like the Imperial Advisor, would you?"

Ye Qingwu smiled and was about to answer when she saw the guard walking towards her.

"Your Highness, Miss Su is requesting an audience outside."

"Su Yan?" Ye Qingwu looked in Lu Yin's direction. "Looks like she's looking for you."

"Let her in."

The guards, following Ye Qingwu's orders, allowed Su Yan to enter the Regent's Palace.

Ye Yuanfeng also wanted to take advantage of the gap to go in, but was stopped by the guards.

"Young Master Ye, the Princess only allowed Miss Su to enter."

Seeing this, Su Yan asked Ye Yuanfeng, "Second Young Master Ye, is there anything I can convey to the Princess?"

"Please convey my message to Ye Qingwu, urging her to immediately cease her demonic magic. If anything happens to my second sister, she will be held responsible!"

Su Yan was taken aback, recalling the situation she witnessed at the Duke's mansion. "Second Young Master Ye, do you mean that Ye Qingzhu's condition is entirely due to sorcery?"

"Not bad!" Ye Yuanfeng nodded.

"It's all Ye Qingwu's fault! If it weren't for her, how could my second sister have ended up like this!"

"Miss Su, please."

The guard interrupted their conversation, giving Ye Yuanfeng an unfriendly look.

"Young Master Ye, since you refuse to leave and are still saying things that slander the Princess, don't blame us for being impolite."

"You...you dare to lay a hand on me?"

Seeing the approaching guards, Ye Yuanfeng was clearly afraid.

Su Yan frowned, feeling even more dissatisfied with Ye Qingwu.

You should know that in the past, she never needed to report when she entered the Regent's Palace, and everyone in the palace treated her with utmost respect.

But now everything has changed because of Ye Qingwu's appearance.

She even thought that if her master Lu Yin hadn't been here today, she would probably have been turned away from the mansion like that Second Young Master Ye.

Led by a servant, Su Yan was taken to the garden where Ye Qingwu and Lu Yin were.

At the pavilion.

When Su Yan arrived, she saw Lu Yin fiddling with medicinal herbs.

"master."

"Su Yan, you've come at the right time. Please sort these medicinal herbs into categories. I'm going to the kitchen to brew the medicine now."

"Decoct...decoct medicine?" Su Yan was stunned by Lu Yin's words.

You should know that the work of decocting medicine should be done by servants, and his master is the master of Medicine King Valley.

Why would he go and decoct medicine?

Before Su Yan could ask any more questions, Lu Yin had already disappeared from sight, leaving only Ye Qingwu standing not far away.

Her intuition told her that all of this was directly related to the princess in front of her.

Ye Qingwu was aware of Su Yan's gaze, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

"princess."

Su Yan thought Ye Qingwu would speak first, but from the moment she appeared until now, Ye Qingwu seemed to have no intention of paying attention to her at all.

But she felt really suffocated if she didn't get to the bottom of those questions in her heart.

"Miss Su, is there something you want to ask?"

Ye Qingwu asked calmly.

"Do you know why some people have black lines on the back of their hands? Is it really caused by sorcery?"

Upon hearing the black line, Ye Qingwu immediately understood the implication behind Su Yan's words.

She curled her lips into a meaningful smile and looked at Su Yan, "So, Miss Su went to the Duke's Mansion."

"Your Highness, Ye Qingzhu is still your half-sister, no matter what. Is this really the right thing to do?"

"And when I came here, I saw Young Master Ye. If he were your half-sister, you wouldn't care. But Young Master Ye is your own brother, born of the same mother, yet you let the guards treat him like this."

"Don't these people have anything to do with you at all?"
