After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Ye Qingwu didn't think about it anymore. Even though she understood the arts of the Xuanmen sect, she knew that some things shouldn't be forced.

Moreover, she has to respect the person's own thoughts; if she insists on revealing the answer, it will ultimately be a waste of time.

In contrast, she was more interested in knowing the background of the imperial advisor and how he left this world.

Before that, the remaining Shadowless Poison in Zhan Sijing's body was the most important thing.

After getting off the carriage, Leng Feng quickly walked up to him, as if he had something to report to Zhan Sijing.

Ye Qingwu didn't linger and went straight back to her own courtyard.

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort..."

Seeing Ye Qingwu leave directly, Leng Feng was somewhat surprised. Could it be that something had happened between the Princess and the Prince again?

Zhan Sijing didn't answer, but asked Leng Feng, "How did things go?"

"Your Highness, after the incident at the Dali Temple prison, I followed Ye Qingzhu's trail and discovered that the last person she saw was the Imperial Preceptor."

"Imperial Preceptor..." Zhan Sijing's eyes flashed coldly. Thinking of what Ye Qingwu had said to him in the carriage, there were some things he still needed to figure out.

"Do not tell the Princess Consort about this matter for now. We will discuss it after I have investigated it thoroughly."

"Yes," Leng Feng replied, bowing with his hands clasped.

Ye Qingwu had already returned to the house, and just as she was about to enter the space, she sensed the lingering aura of black energy.

Ye Qingwu frowned.

It seems some people have already set their sights on me. Sending black energy to gather information is something not everyone can do.

Unfortunately, all the important things were stored in his own space, so no matter how much he tried to find out, it was all in vain.

Ye Qingwu thought for a moment and then his consciousness entered the space, only to see purple light appearing around the pill furnace, which meant that the pill had been successfully refined!

Overjoyed, she quickly went to the alchemy furnace. After so many days of waiting, she had put in almost all her rare medicinal herbs to refine this one pill.

With this pill, combined with Lu Yin's fourteen needles, the poison in Zhan Sijing's body will surely be cured.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingwu did not dare to hesitate and immediately sent someone to invite Lu Yin over. As time went by, the longer Zhan Sijing's toxin remained in his body, the more likely it was to cause changes.

The men sent out returned quickly, but Lu Yin was nowhere to be seen.

Ye Qingwu asked the guard curiously, "Where is Valley Master Lu? Why didn't he come with you?"

"Your Highness, when we arrived at Valley Master Lu's residence, we only found a letter on the table."

"A letter?" Ye Qingwu hesitated.

Did you bring it?

The guard nodded and then handed the letter to Ye Qingwu, clearly indicating that the letter was for her.

Ye Qingwu opened the letter and saw that it read...

Ye Qingwu was stunned when she saw the contents.

Lu Yin has actually returned to Medicine King Valley?

This shouldn't be!

Ye Qingwu found it increasingly strange. Given Lu Yin's personality, even if he really wanted to leave the capital, he would definitely have said so beforehand, instead of just leaving a letter.

The letter was placed on the table, as if it were a sure thing that she would send someone over.

There was something odd about the whole thing.

Ye Qingwu decided to go to the small courtyard where Lu Yin used to live to see if there would be any clues there.

But when she arrived at the small courtyard, she found that all the furnishings had disappeared, as if no one had lived there for some time.

It's so weird.

Ye Qingwu felt a vague unease about Lu Yin's whereabouts, as if something was about to happen.

Unable to find Lu Yin, Ye Qingwu was about to return to the palace when she heard a gasp of surprise coming from not far away.

"That divine doctor's skills are indeed well-deserved. After I drank the medicinal food she gave me, I became much stronger."

"Yes, our family was able to recover so quickly entirely thanks to the help of this miracle doctor."

"A miracle doctor?" Ye Qingwu asked in confusion. She remembered that Zhan Sijing had also told her about miracle doctors.

Could these two be the same person?

Just as she was wondering about this, she saw a large number of people rushing towards her.

"Quickly, the miracle doctor is distributing porridge up ahead today, let's hurry over there."

Someone in the crowd shouted, and upon hearing this, everyone rushed forward without hesitation.

Some of them even shouted, "This miracle doctor is truly a good person. He treats us without accepting any money, and now he's even giving us ordinary people porridge."

"When I see her, I will definitely thank her properly."

Hearing this, Ye Qingwu became even more curious about the identity of this divine doctor and followed the group of people over.

To her surprise, the so-called miracle doctor was none other than Ye Qingzhu.

Ye Qingwu frowned.

When did Ye Qingzhu learn medical skills? She glanced at the porridge and saw that there was nothing wrong with it.

There were several guards around Ye Qingzhu, clearly sent to protect her safety.

That's really interesting.

Ye Qingzhu clearly saw Ye Qingwu's arrival, but showed no sign of panic.

"Isn't this the Regent's wife? We meet again."

"Ye Qingzhu, you are quite frank."

"What are you saying, Princess Regent? Do you think you have some extraordinary status?"

"So you're the miracle doctor these people are talking about?" Ye Qingwu hesitated, her gaze falling on Ye Qingzhu. Compared to before, this person was indeed somewhat different.

"You all stay here and watch. I have something to discuss with the Regent's Consort," Ye Qingzhu said, glancing at the guards.

The guard took over the task of distributing porridge from Ye Qingzhu, and then Ye Qingzhu came to Ye Qingwu and said to her arrogantly, "Ye Qingwu, do you dare to go there?"

Ye Qingzhu pointed to a small alley not far from here.

Ye Qingwu glanced at Ye Qingzhu, then looked towards the alleyway and said calmly, "What's there to be afraid of?"

She also wanted to see what Ye Qingzhu was up to.

Ye Qingzhu curled her lips into a smile, her smugness growing even stronger. She walked directly ahead of Ye Qingwu and entered the alley first.

The moment Ye Qingwu stepped into the alley, she sensed a change in her surroundings.

This area has been encircled by a formation.

A continuous stream of black energy surged towards her from all sides, as if it were about to engulf her completely.

Ye Qingzhu looked at Ye Qingwu, who was shrouded in black mist, with a smug expression on her face.

"Ye Qingwu, now it's time for you to taste the pain I felt back then!"

"Ye Qingzhu, did you lure me here just to trap me with these tricks?"

Ye Qingwu scoffed; she had never taken these black energies seriously.

But when she dealt with the black energy, she found countless barriers around her. These barriers didn't seem to be meant to harm her; rather, the person who set up the formation seemed to be using this method to restrict her movements.

Ye Qingzhu would never do something like that.

The person who can do this must also understand the mystical arts, just like her!
