After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"Miss Su, are you finished?"

Faced with Su Yan's questioning, Ye Qingwu calmly replied.

Su Yan was stunned for a moment when she met Ye Qingwu's calm eyes.

"Your Highness, am I wrong?"

The atmosphere remained tense for a few seconds before Su Yan continued to question Ye Qingwu, showing no sign of giving up.

"Then may I ask Miss Su, in what capacity do you speak such words?"

"Does Miss Su truly know the truth about what happened here?"

"I……"

Su Yan was stumped by Ye Qingwu's question; she did indeed harbor some dissatisfaction with Ye Qingwu during this time.

But so what? She was just stating the facts.

"princess."

Just then, Zhan Sijing's voice came from not far away, accompanied by Lu Yin.

Seeing that things were not going well, Su Yan suddenly grabbed Ye Qingwu's hand and fell backward.

Zhan Sijing and Lu Yin arrived just in time to witness this scene.

"Su Yan, are you alright?" Lu Yin asked with concern when he saw Su Yan fall to the ground.

"Master, I'm fine. I just lost my balance. It has nothing to do with the princess."

Ye Qingwu watched all this coldly. It was the same old trick again. There was nothing new about it. She didn't even have the thought of making a defense.

On the other hand, Lu Yin agreed with Su Yan's words.

"Su Yan, you really are something. How could you fall down like that? This definitely has nothing to do with the Princess."

"Your Highness, is there anything I can do to help you here?" Zhan Sijing asked softly as he approached Ye Qingwu.

"No need."

Ye Qingwu replied, then glanced at Su Yan on the ground.

"Miss Su, you'd better get up quickly. If you keep acting like this, I'll think you're up to something."

Su Yan never expected that her fall would not only fail to achieve its purpose, but would also make her the target of ridicule from Ye Qingwu.

"Your Highness, why don't you stay here?"

Ye Qingwu didn't want to deal with these dramas anymore. She'd rather use that time to go back to her space and check on how the pills were being refined.

"I will accompany you."

Zhan Sijing followed closely behind.

“No need,” Ye Qingwu replied. “Your Highness, I think Miss Su came to see you. It’s better if you handle these matters.”

"Solve it?" Zhan Sijing was taken aback. Just as Ye Qingwu was about to leave, he reached out and grabbed her.

"Your Highness, I think you've misunderstood."

"Since Miss Su and Valley Master Lu are here today, I think it's best to make some things clear."

"My heart has always belonged to only the Queen, and has never been with anyone else. Miss Su, I don't know where the rumors from the outside world came from, but my feelings for you are only because you are Valley Master Lu's disciple."

Su Yan froze.

Zhan Sijing's words completely shattered her last hope.

She was trembling slightly, wanting to say something but feeling it was pointless.

Ye Qingwu was also taken aback by Zhan Sijing's behavior.

"Your Highness, are you willing to believe me now?"

Zhan Sijing looked at Ye Qingwu with trepidation in his eyes.

"you……"

Ye Qingwu suddenly noticed that there were quite a few maids around her, and she guessed that they had also heard what Zhan Sijing had just said.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, I'm sorry to have bothered you. I'll take my leave now."

Su Yan stood up from the ground and addressed Zhan Sijing and Ye Qingwu.

"Your Highness, aren't you afraid of hurting her feelings?"

Watching Su Yan run away quickly, Ye Qingwu asked.

"There has never been anything between me and that Miss Su, so there is no question of me being heartbroken. In comparison, I am more worried about hurting the Princess's feelings."

Ye Qingwu: "..."

Where did this guy learn such strange and unusual phrases?

Lu Yin sighed, feeling helpless about the situation.

He had heard about these rumors and had tried to advise Su Yan before, but seeing her current state, he ultimately didn't listen to her.

"Your Highness, I will go and try to persuade Su Yan. Please don't take it to heart."

It's impossible that he didn't notice anything amiss when Su Yan fell just now.

But since the other party was his apprentice, there were some things he couldn't say too clearly.

the other side.

It wasn't until Jiang Wenjin left that Ye Qingzhu snapped out of her shock.

"Second Miss, what brings you here?"

When Chun'er came in, she saw Ye Qingzhu sitting there alone, muttering to herself.

She wanted to go forward, but then she remembered what had happened in the courtyard that day, so she kept a certain distance before asking Ye Qingzhu.

"Chun'er, it seems that Jiang Wenjin has remembered everything."

Ye Qingzhu felt a strange sense of fear when she thought about the way Jiang Wenjin looked at her back then.

Normally, she could use the Duke's mansion to control Jiang Wenjin.

This was to let Jiang Wenjin know that he owed all his success to her alone.

But now that Jiang Wenjin is remembering things from her past life, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?

No, no, she absolutely couldn't let that happen.

"Chun'er, hurry and go find my mother. Tell her I have something important to tell her."

Ye Qingzhu said anxiously.

The next few days.

Ye Qingwu was much more relaxed now. Lu Yin had promised to prepare a medicinal diet to nourish Zhan Sijing's body, and she only needed to wait for the pills to be refined before moving on to the next step.

Once the Shadowless Poison in Zhan Sijing's body is completely removed, perhaps the whole truth will be revealed then.

And she… Ye Qingwu lowered her eyes, wondering if she too could find a way to leave this world.

"Your Highness, something seems to have happened in the east of the capital!"

The sound of a cold wind came.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu immediately left the house and looked up, where she saw a faint dark aura emanating from the eastern sky.

That thing has reappeared.

She has to go and see!

Without giving it much thought, Ye Qingwu headed east.

The Duke's Mansion.

Ye Qingzhu also noticed something unusual. For some reason, even though that person had disappeared, she could immediately detect any black aura that appeared.

Since Ye Qingwu was able to break the Regent's curse and prevent him from suffering the same fate as in his previous life, it proves that there must be a way to break this curse.

Having finally experienced what happened in her previous life, and now that she's been reborn, she absolutely cannot live with only a month to live as Ye Qingwu said.

She is not reconciled!

If that's really the case, she absolutely cannot let Ye Qingwu get away with it!

Thinking of this, Ye Qingzhu felt a strong sense of resentment, but she didn't notice that the black lines on the back of her hand were spreading rapidly.

To the east of the capital.

When Ye Qingwu arrived, he found many people lying on the ground, all unconscious.

"Your Highness, look, there are several soldiers over there. I'll go and ask them what happened."

Just as Leng Feng was about to step forward, Ye Qingwu called out to him.

"Don't go there."

She looked at the officers and soldiers.

“There’s something wrong with these people.”

Just as she finished speaking, the "soldiers" seemed to have spotted them and rushed towards them.
