After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

In an instant, all the black energy filled the surrounding area, and if this continued, the surrounding area would collapse because it could not withstand the sudden force.

Ye Qingwu silently chanted a spell, raising a barrier around Zhan Sijing and the emperor. The most important thing right now was to get the two of them out.

Only in this way can she fight the imperial advisor without any distractions.

Perhaps sensing her thoughts, the bead suddenly broke free from the Grand Preceptor's control and flew to her.

Ye Qingwu gripped the bead tightly, feeling the power flowing through her body.

"You can get them out of here, right?"

The bead flickered a few times, as if answering her question.

Ye Qingwu nodded and, after setting up a barrier, went to Zhan Sijing and the emperor.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, this place is about to collapse. If these evil energies are released together, they will cause even greater casualties. I will send you out first."

"No." Zhan Sijing grasped Ye Qingwu's hand, his expression more resolute than ever before.

Upon hearing Ye Qingwu's words, Zhan Sijing already understood what she wanted to do.

"Qingwu, I said I would stand with you through thick and thin."

"Your Majesty, you are the ruler of the country, and the unrest outside still needs your help to quell it."

Zhan Sijing said to the emperor that Ye Qingwu was his everything.

Without her, what meaning would anything have?

“Brother, if we’re talking about the origins of everything, it should all be something I owe you.”

The emperor felt deeply guilty, especially after learning about the matter of exchanging his life.

All the disasters Zhan Sijing has suffered over the years were borne for him; even this throne should have been his.

If there is anyone who should stay here, it should be him.

Ye Qingwu felt helpless as she watched the two of them being so polite to each other.

"Both of you need to get out of here."

Her words were firm and brooked no argument.

What they are facing now is not just a simple collapse, but also a malevolent aura.

The malevolent aura was not something ordinary people could withstand, let alone the fact that these two had lost much of their purple aura.

However, when facing Zhan Sijing, Ye Qingwu's tone softened considerably, and she took out the refined pills from her spatial storage.

"Your Highness, eating this will clear the toxins from your body. You must take good care of yourself no matter what."

Ye Qingwu placed the pill in Zhan Sijing's hand.

She didn't know what the future held, so all she could do was focus on the present.

"Qingwu, even if we have to leave, let's go together."

Zhan Sijing held Ye Qingwu tightly, as if she would disappear at any moment.

Ye Qingwu sighed softly, and then saw cracks appearing in the barrier that had risen around her.

If the evil energy breaks through the barrier, none of them will be able to escape.

Time is running out.

Thinking of the pill, Ye Qingwu lowered her eyes and said to Zhan Sijing, "Your Highness, please take the pill first, and then I will let you leave, okay?"

Zhan Sijing was taken aback, and a light ignited in his eyes.

"Qingwu, is everything you said true?"

"of course."

Ye Qingwu replied.

"Okay." Zhan Sijing smiled, holding Ye Qingwu tightly with one hand while swallowing the pill with the other.

The moment he took the medicine, Zhan Sijing felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him, and his strength began to gradually dissipate.

"Qingwu..." Zhan Sijing's grip on Ye Qingwu became lighter and lighter, but he still held on as if his life depended on it.

"Your Majesty, I will now escort you and the Prince away."

"And what about you?" the emperor asked worriedly.

"I will find a way to deal with it. If the prince wakes up, tell him I will come back."

Ye Qingwu looked at Zhan Sijing, who had completely fallen into a coma, and her eyes showed a hint of reluctance.

The bead flew into the air, and Ye Qingwu chanted a spell. In an instant, Zhan Sijing and the emperor disappeared from the spot.

Watching them leave, Ye Qingwu finally felt relieved. At the same time, the barrier shattered completely.

"Ye Qingwu, it seems you're prepared to perish together with me."

The voice of the Imperial Advisor came from within a cloud of black mist, which Ye Qingwu dismissed with disdain.

"perish together?"

"I'm afraid you're not qualified!"

Ye Qingwu's body shone brightly again as she desperately resisted the surging malevolent energy around her.

The two were evenly matched, neither gaining the upper hand. Due to the collision of their forces, the surrounding area collapsed even faster.

If things continue like this, it might really turn out as this person said.

No, she has to finish this quickly and can't afford to waste any more time here.

Ye Qingwu mobilized the power of the space, only to find that the power began to reverse, which also meant that the space had reached its maximum upgrade.

In addition to being able to use all her power at will, she can also teleport.

However, she had already exhausted a lot of her strength in the struggle against the Imperial Advisor.

"Ye Qingwu, prepare to die!"

The moment he saw the opening, the Imperial Advisor used all his power to strike at Ye Qingwu.

The surrounding pressure seemed to form a barrier, making it impossible for Ye Qingwu to escape.

Ye Qingwu was hit hard and became unsteady on her feet.

Although the space has been maximized, the power within it is extremely unstable and will interfere with her to some extent.

If it weren't for this, she wouldn't have been injured by the Imperial Advisor's attack.

That's the only option right now.

Ye Qingwu had made up her mind that only by completely eliminating the Imperial Preceptor could the source of the evil energy dissipate, and all of this would come to an end.

Everything will proceed as normal.

She cut her palm, muttering incantations as her blood scattered in the air, forming runes.

The Imperial Advisor was startled by this scene, but he quickly realized what Ye Qingwu was planning to do, and his eyes showed fear.

"A deadly formation, drawn by blood."

"Ye Qingwu, are you crazy? If this continues, you'll die too."

But by then, the runes were already complete, and Ye Qingwu spat out a mouthful of blood.

Perhaps, for this world, both she and the imperial advisor are variables.

Only when the variables disappear will everything return to calm.

Moreover, she doesn't even belong to this world.

If there's anything I can't let go of...

That leaves only Zhan Sijing, but he has already taken the pill and nothing can threaten his life anymore.

Given his status and position, what is there that he wouldn't have?

This ending is fine too.

Ye Qingwu's gaze hardened completely; she would be the one to end all these uncertainties.

"No!" With that scream, the surrounding light enveloped them, and Ye Qingwu and the Imperial Preceptor disappeared into the light.

Everything around them began to collapse.

Meanwhile, the palace servants had already rescued the Empress Dowager from outside Shou Kang Palace.

Looking at the collapsed Shou Kang Palace, the Empress Dowager fell into despair.

"emperor!"

"Your Majesty, it's dangerous there, you can't go!" Seeing the Empress Dowager rushing towards Shou Kang Palace regardless of the danger, the guards quickly stopped her.

"You must hurry in and save the Emperor."

The Empress Dowager shouted at these people with all her might.
