After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

These people, with bloodshot eyes, charged towards us like monsters.

It's that ominous aura again.

Ye Qingwu frowned, took out several talismans from her spatial storage, and walked forward while chanting incantations.

"Leng Feng, you all stay where you are, I'll deal with these people."

After saying that, Ye Qingwu walked towards the soldiers.

"Your Highness, please be careful."

Leng Feng's eyes were full of worry. When he tried to follow, he found a barrier in front of him. He figured this must be related to the talisman that the princess had just thrown out.

Ye Qingwu was already very skilled at dealing with these malevolent energies, and in no time at all, she had absorbed all the malevolent energy in her spatial storage.

The existence of beads and space can transform harmful evil energy into usable power.

Ye Qingwu frowned as he looked at the unconscious people on the ground. Although the evil energy had been eliminated, these people's bodies had been severely injured.

However, there was one thing that puzzled her: where did this malevolent energy come from? Logically speaking, the contract on Ye Qingzhu's body should have been destroyed by her.

Even if the malevolent energy originates from resentment and greed, it would be impossible for it to condense such a powerful force without a specific opportunity.

Not to mention attaching itself to a person and affecting the surrounding environment.

There must be something strange about this.

Just as Ye Qingwu was wondering about this, she heard a shout coming from not far away.

"Let me go! I am the second young lady of the Duke's mansion, not someone of suspicious character!"

Looking up, Ye Qingzhu was being dragged away by two guards. As they passed by, Ye Qingzhu clearly saw Ye Qingwu over there, and she froze for a second.

"Ye Qingwu, tell your men to release me right now!"

"Stubborn."

Ye Qingwu said coldly, having roughly guessed why Ye Qingzhu was here.

"Ye Qingwu!"

Ye Qingzhu's face was contorted with rage, but since she wasn't being watched by the guards, she couldn't do anything.

"You'd better think this through. If something happens to me, our secret will be revealed to everyone."

Ye Qingzhu said through gritted teeth, "If she can't have a good time, I won't let Ye Qingwu have a happy life either."

Why is it that Ye Qingwu, who was also reborn like herself, is different? Not only can she become the Regent's Consort peacefully, but the Regent also treats her so differently.

Looking at herself, although she married Jiang Wenjin, what did she ultimately gain?

"Wait." Ye Qingwu spoke up just as the guards were about to drag Ye Qingzhu away.

One of the guards looked at Ye Qingwu and asked with a puzzled expression, "Your Highness, do you have any orders?"

"You may all leave now. I'd like to speak with Ye Qingzhu alone for a few minutes."

"This...Your Highness, this woman's presence here is highly suspicious. We were just about to take her to the Dali Temple prison, what are you doing here...?"

After the malevolent energy dissipated, the barrier that had been blocking Leng Feng and the others also disappeared.

Upon hearing the guards' words, Leng Feng's face darkened with displeasure, and he rebuked them, "How dare you! You have such audacity to disobey even the Princess's words!"

"Get out of here right now!"

These guards knew that Leng Feng was a bodyguard of the regent, so they could only cup their hands in greeting and take a few steps back.

Watching all this unfold, Ye Qingzhu grew increasingly smug when alone with Ye Qingwu, and her words carried a hint of self-satisfaction.

"Ye Qingwu, I never thought you would be afraid one day. As long as you tell those people that today's events are related to me, I will not tell anyone else about the events of my past life."

Ye Qingwu remained unfazed by Ye Qingzhu's provocation.

"Ye Qingzhu, that was your past life. What does it have to do with me? Are you here because you sensed something?"

"Evil spirit?"

"Or is this power related to the person who helped you be reborn?"

Ye Qingzhu panicked upon hearing this. She turned her face away and quickly denied it, saying, "Ye Qingwu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"What do you mean by helping me be reborn? That's utter nonsense!"

"Is that so?" Ye Qingwu sighed meaningfully, "I originally thought that if you could tell me all those things, I might be able to show you a way out, but now it seems there's no need."

"A way out?" Ye Qingzhu's pupils shrank, clearly doubting Ye Qingwu's words. Just as she began to waver, she felt as if someone had yanked her heart hard.

His expression instantly turned wary, and he gave Ye Qingwu a stern rebuke.

"Ye Qingwu, do you really think you're some kind of all-powerful person? When have I ever needed you to show me a way out? You should take care of yourself."

She didn't come out unprepared.

"No rush. Since you're unwilling to talk, then spend a few days calming down in the Dali Temple's prison. When you've made up your mind, then send someone to tell me."

Ye Qingzhu hesitated for a moment, clearly not expecting that Ye Qingwu was not threatened by her at all.

"If you want me to speak, then first lift the curse on me."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Qingzhu made a condition: she discovered that ever since that adult disappeared, she had been experiencing constant pain in her chest.

"The curse on you was not placed by me. If you want to break it, you have to look for the source."

Ye Qingwu said coldly.

The reason she said these things to Ye Qingzhu was not because she wanted to leave room for maneuver, but because she discovered a strange power within Ye Qingzhu.

This force was largely the catalyst that helped her be reborn.

It's also related to all the strange things that have happened since she transmigrated into the book.

In other words, the situation of being reborn is different from her transmigrating into a book. To a certain extent, she has an advantage and will not be rejected by this world.

Ye Qingzhu seized this opportunity, but failed to use it correctly, making one mistake after another, and now she is reaping the consequences of her own actions.

The only thing that puzzled her was that, logically, having a curse on her should accelerate the erosion of Ye Qingzhu's life force, but Ye Qingzhu was still completely unharmed.

Combining all these factors, she concluded that there must still be some power within Ye Qingzhu.

Given Ye Qingzhu's personality, if there were some extraordinary person secretly helping her behind the scenes, why would she have endured until now?

The reason she dared not speak out must be because she was subject to some kind of restriction.

Unfortunately, the images in the rosary were too limited, and what was happening at that moment had already exceeded the original plot of the book.

To uncover the truth of everything, we'll likely have to start with Ye Qingzhu.

"What I just said, please remember..."

Before Ye Qingwu could finish speaking, she felt a black aura flying towards her, which suddenly changed direction when it was still some distance away.

This black aura is clearly under someone's control.

Ye Qingwu ignored Ye Qingzhu and chased after the black mist.
