After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"No matter what, don't let him show his face in front of me!"

Ye Qingzhu said fiercely, "You still want to reconcile with Ye Qingwu now? You're dreaming!"

the other side.

As soon as Ye Qingwu returned to the palace, a guard stepped forward and reported to her, "Your Highness, someone from the palace just came to invite you to the palace."

"Enter the palace?" Ye Qingwu hesitated. "Besides asking me to enter the palace, what else did they say?"

"It seems that the Empress Dowager is unwell and wishes to invite you to the palace to see her."

Ye Qingwu narrowed her eyes slightly, "It's quite a coincidence that you're unwell at this time."

The last time she saw the Empress Dowager, even without taking her pulse, she could tell from her complexion that the man was perfectly fine and had no problems whatsoever.

There must be something strange about it.

"Where is the prince?"

Ye Qingwu asked.

"The Prince and Guard Leng are not currently in the residence. It seems that the Prince has been ordered by the Emperor to quell the unrest outside the capital."

Ye Qingwu understood after hearing this. No matter what, she could rest assured that Zhan Sijing had Leng Feng by his side.

As for the palace… Ye Qingwu sighed softly.

She still had to go eventually.

Ye Qingwu arrived at the palace quickly in a carriage.

There were already people waiting at the palace gate when she stepped out of the carriage.

The old woman quickly came forward and bowed respectfully to her, "Your Highness, please come this way."

Ye Qingwu gave a soft "hmm" and asked the nanny on the way to Shou Kang Palace, "The Empress Dowager's health has never been good. How could she suddenly fall ill?"

"This..." The old woman was clearly hesitant when faced with Ye Qingwu's question.

"Princess Regent, you will know when the time comes." Ye Qingwu also noticed the problem and asked the nanny again.

"If you don't tell me, how can I treat the Empress Dowager more quickly?"

Upon hearing this, the old nanny subconsciously glanced around and whispered, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager fell ill because she was worried about the Emperor's condition."

"But for some reason, no matter how the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital treated her, the Empress Dowager's condition not only did not improve, but actually worsened."

"The Imperial Advisor said that this might be caused by some evil spirits in the palace. However, as you know, Your Highness, the Imperial Advisor is a man and cannot enter the inner palace. That's why we invited you into the palace to see what the problem is for the Empress Dowager."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu suddenly realized, "You mean to say that I entered the palace on the recommendation of the Imperial Advisor?"

The old woman nodded, acknowledging Ye Qingwu's words.

A cold glint flashed in Ye Qingwu's eyes. She had to admit that this Imperial Advisor was quite interesting.

Therefore, she wanted to see what illness the Empress Dowager was suffering from.

When Ye Qingwu arrived at Shou Kang Palace, she sensed an unusual aura.

It's evil spirit again!

But how could such malevolent energy appear in this perfectly fine palace? It's really too strange.

Ye Qingwu didn't have time to think much and went to the Empress Dowager's bedside, where she saw black energy appearing between the Empress Dowager's eyebrows.

She looked around again, and the palace maids around her did not show any abnormality due to the appearance of the evil aura, which could only mean that its source was the Empress Dowager herself.

Upon seeing Ye Qingwu arrive, the imperial physician stepped forward and inquired, "Your Highness, do you have any way to treat the Empress Dowager's illness?"

"There is a way to treat it, but I cannot guarantee that the Empress Dowager will wake up immediately."

Seeing that everyone was looking at her with expectant eyes, as if she could wake up the Empress Dowager with just one move.

Even if she had the ability right now, she wouldn't do it; at least before that, she needs to figure out what exactly happened.

"As long as the Empress Dowager's condition can be improved, the rest of the imperial physicians, including myself, will do our best to treat her."

The imperial physician also understood the implication in Ye Qingwu's words, but for him, as long as the Regent's Consort was willing to take action, there would definitely be a chance for things to turn around.

"Your Highness, you were recommended by the Imperial Advisor. He said that with you here, the Empress Dowager will surely be out of danger."

The old woman was very worried about Ye Qingwu's ambiguous words.

Hearing this, Ye Qingwu couldn't help but find it somewhat laughable.

It's the Imperial Advisor again.

It must be said that this Grand Preceptor really thinks highly of her.

"You all step outside, I will treat the Empress Dowager."

Seeing that everyone was gathered here, Ye Qingwu gave instructions.

"Your Highness, should we include us too?"

The imperial physicians were skeptical of Ye Qingwu's words, clearly wanting to know how the Regent's Consort had treated the Empress Dowager's coma.

"of course."

“If you are not at ease, I can leave now. Even without me, I believe there will be other capable people to treat him.”

After saying that, Ye Qingwu turned to leave.

If we don't make things clear now, it might cause even bigger trouble later.

"The Regent's Wife".

Seeing that Ye Qingwu was about to leave, the nanny quickly said.

These women knew very well that no matter what, Ye Qingwu was the Regent's Consort, and with His Highness the Regent behind her, even if the Emperor punished her afterward, he would show some leniency.

But they were different. If anything happened to the Empress Dowager, the rest of the people present would probably not survive.

"I'll do as you say."

After everyone left, Ye Qingwu took out a talisman from her spatial storage and chanted an incantation, causing the malevolent energy permeating the palace to gradually dissipate.

Only after the evil aura had completely dissipated did Ye Qingwu take out her silver needles to treat the patient.

Strangely, the Empress Dowager's condition did not improve despite the treatment.

In other words, there are no other abnormalities in the pulse, but there is a big problem in terms of Qi and blood.

Ye Qingwu's gaze fell on the Empress Dowager's brow, and she saw that the dark aura there had not only not disappeared, but had become even thicker.

But she clearly already...

This shouldn't be happening, unless...!

Ye Qingwu's heart skipped a beat. Unless the Empress Dowager had done something against the will of Heaven, she would suffer a backlash.

People of high status possess a certain amount of luck. If someone steals the luck that should belong to that person and transfers it to another person...

If one day, the other party's luck begins to return, it will backfire on the person in question, and the Empress Dowager's current situation is very similar to this.

But she was already the Empress Dowager, arguably the most honored woman. What could possibly be worth risking backlash for her doing?

The Imperial Advisor and the people in the palace insisted that she come, because this person actually understands the arts of the esoteric arts. To be called the Imperial Advisor, she must be extraordinary.

She couldn't believe that the Grand Preceptor wouldn't have noticed something she could see.

Unless he did it on purpose so that he would find out.

But what exactly is the other party testing with this?

Ye Qingwu felt something was wrong the more she thought about it. Just then, the voice of a eunuch came from outside Shou Kang Palace.

"The Emperor has arrived."

Ye Qingwu's expression changed, and a guess suddenly came to mind.
