After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"Yes," Ye Qingwu replied. Although she had a way to stabilize Zhan Sijing's situation, she couldn't guarantee that the Emperor and Empress Dowager wouldn't come up with other methods.

If in the end it still comes down to your own life, then you're finished.

Only after stabilizing these two individuals can subsequent medical treatment proceed normally.

"Your Majesty, based on my observation, the reason why the Prince is so weak is not due to any curse, but rather because he has been poisoned by an extremely rare toxin."

"You mean the Regent is in this state because he was poisoned, but the Imperial Advisor clearly said... could it be..."

The emperor was taken aback, his expression turning serious. "Whether it's poisoning or a curse, Ye Qingwu, I ask you, do you truly have a way to help the Regent survive for the next two days?"

"If you dare to deceive me, I will not let you off lightly!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Just as Ye Qingwu was thinking about what to say next, she saw the emperor nod and then say, "Alright, I believe you."

"But Ye Qingwu, don't blame me for not warning you. If the Regent is in trouble in two days, I will not only hold you accountable for deceiving the emperor, but also implicate the previous marriage exchange and the Duke's Mansion you left."

"Your time is running out."

After the emperor finished speaking, the empress dowager, who had been silent until now, also spoke up.

"Later, I will have Granny Chang accompany you back to the Prince's Mansion."

"Since it's for treatment, if you need manpower from the Imperial Hospital, just let Granny Chang mention it anytime."

Although the emperor did not speak, he clearly acquiesced to the matter.

"Yes."

"Alright, you can leave now."

The Empress Dowager raised her hand and said to Ye Qingwu, "Judging from the manner of her words, she clearly has something else to say to the Emperor."

Seeing this, Ye Qingwu didn't dare to linger and turned to leave Shou Kang Palace.

"Mother, now that the Duke's mansion has arranged a marriage, is this Ye Qingwu truly the person the Imperial Advisor spoke of as the turning point?"

The emperor looked doubtful, clearly worried about the matter.

"The Imperial Advisor only said that it was a woman from the Duke's mansion, without specifying who she was. If Your Majesty is not at ease, it would be better to have Ye Xuan's other daughter stay at the Regent's mansion for the next two days, so that there will be someone to rely on if anything happens."

The emperor nodded, "That's the only way."

Ye Qingwu, who came out of Shou Kang Palace, had mixed feelings and couldn't figure out where things had gone wrong.

Most importantly, when the emperor heard that he could govern the military commander Si Jing, he was clearly skeptical, yet he agreed immediately.

There must be something important that she overlooked.

There was also the so-called curse, and the fact that they knew about the Duke's mansion's arranged marriage, yet there was no sign of it.

Everything is so strange.

No, she had to find a way to get to the bottom of this.

Fortunately, although the Empress Dowager had sent Granny Chang to her side, she had been with her for the past two days and had not come with her now.

The thought of someone constantly watching you is unsettling.

Just as she was pondering this, Zhan Siwan appeared in front of her at some point.

"Ye Qingwu, you stop right there!"

Upon seeing Zhan Siwan appear, Ye Qingwu narrowed her eyes, revealing a meaningful look.

"Princess, could it be that you've been waiting for me here all along?"

"So what!"

Zhan Siwan snorted coldly and angrily addressed Ye Qingwu.

"What does the Sixth Princess want?"

Ye Qingwu wasn't in a hurry; her gaze fell on the bandaged hand.

"How about that? Hmph! Ye Qingwu, you still dare to ask this princess questions!"

"Where did that silver needle go?"

Zhan Siwan stared intently at Ye Qingwu, as if she wouldn't let her leave until she gave an explanation.

"Didn't Physician Sun from the Imperial Hospital tell you back then that the silver needles were gone?"

"Impossible! I clearly remember it being stuck in my arm at the time."

Zhan Siwan clearly did not believe Ye Qingwu's explanation; she would never forget the feeling of being stabbed.

Seeing that Zhan Siwan was still arguing and wouldn't let it go, Ye Qingwu didn't want to waste her breath on her.

"If the Sixth Princess doesn't believe me, then just pretend the item is still here."

In fact, the silver needle had already fallen to the ground when Zhan Siwan fell.

Her silver needles came from a spatial dimension and were made of extremely special materials that would disappear upon contact with water.

"Alright, Ye Qingwu, you really admit it!"

"Come with me to the Emperor now!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Siwan became furious and strode forward to grab Ye Qingwu.

But then Ye Qingwu suddenly had another silver needle in her hand, which gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

"If the Sixth Princess takes another step forward, she will have to experience it again."

The moment Zhan Siwan saw the silver needles, she froze and took several steps back.

She clearly remembered that Ye Qingwu had nothing in her hands.

How did these silver needles come about?

Could it be...? Zhan Siwan was so startled that she widened her eyes and pointed at Ye Qingwu with her uninjured finger.

"Ye Qingwu, I never imagined you would know sorcery!"

Otherwise, how would you explain the sudden appearance of silver needles in Ye Qingwu's hand?

Ye Qingwu was almost amused by Zhan Siwan, and instead of refuting her, she went along with her words, "Sixth Princess, would you like to give it a try?"

"You...don't come here!"

Seeing Ye Qingwu approaching her, Zhan Siwan panicked and took a few steps back before turning and running away.

Before leaving, she shouted, "Ye Qingwu, you just wait, this isn't over!"

"He ran really fast."

Ye Qingwu put away the silver needles, and after taking a few steps, she saw someone walking towards her.

When she saw who it was, Ye Qingwu was a little surprised. Her eyebrows curved and she gave Zhan Sijing a slight smile.

"My lord, why are you here?"

She had told Leng Feng not to tell Zhan Sijing about this, and he really was unreliable.

"I am worried about you."

Zhan Sijing spoke earnestly to Ye Qingwu, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Did they give you any trouble?

"It wasn't difficult, just a few minor hiccups, but the matter has been resolved."

Ye Qingwu naturally took Zhan Sijing's hand, and her brows furrowed slightly when she touched the coldness of his fingertips.

"Your Highness, let's go back first."

"it is good."

Seeing that Ye Qingwu was alright, Zhan Sijing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the situation in the palace better than anyone else, especially regarding his own illness.

Compared to himself, Ye Qingwu's safety was more important than anything else.

"Your Highness, did the Empress Dowager mention anything to you this time?"

As they approached the palace gate, Zhan Sijing, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with deep worry.

"What should be mentioned?"

Ye Qingwu was well aware of Zhan Sijing's concerns and suddenly let go of his hand.

"Is Your Highness referring to the curse?"

Sensing Ye Qingwu releasing him, Zhan Sijing lowered his eyes, a faint sense of loss accompanying his expression.

She knew all along...
