After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Watching the old woman leave, Ye Qingwu felt a headache coming on; what was all this about?

It's ridiculous that Zhan Sijing still has a bloodline in his situation!

I really don't know what that Empress Dowager was thinking.

She agreed to the marriage exchange entirely out of necessity, and also because of her medical skills; she certainly wasn't there to have any romantic relationship with this prince.

No, she had to come up with a solution.

"Your Highness, the nourishing soup you asked the kitchen to prepare is ready. Shall we bring it to the Prince now?"

This princess, who could kill a rooster on her wedding day and still live peacefully in the prince's room, was someone these servants could not afford to offend.

Ye Qingwu glanced at what the maid was holding, took it from her, and said, "Give this to me."

"Yes."

Before entering Zhan Sijing's room with the nourishing soup, Ye Qingwu specially added some spiritual spring water from her spatial storage.

Unbeknownst to them, a pair of eyes were watching this scene, and they quickly disappeared without a trace.

As soon as she entered, she heard violent coughing coming from inside. Ye Qingwu hadn't taken more than a few steps when she saw several medicine jars rolling out of the jars.

Ye Qingwu put her things down for the time being, and quickly realized something was wrong when she saw the medicine jars.

"This place is..."

"Has Your Highness noticed anything different?"

When Ye Qingwu looked up, she met Zhan Sijing's pale face, and the medicine on the corner of his lips clearly indicated that he had just drunk from the medicine pot.

"You drank it all?"

Ye Qingwu's expression was serious as she faced off against Si Jingwen.

Zhan Sijing nodded, unconcerned about the medicine jar. Ye Qingwu was even more puzzled, "Do you know what's in it?"

"Just some toxins that cause symptoms to appear faster."

Ye Qingwu was startled, and seeing his nonchalant attitude, she suddenly found it hard to understand what the person in front of her was thinking.

"If that's the case, why did you still take it!"

"Do you know that your body may not be able to withstand the erosion of other toxins right now?"

"Zhan Sijing, are you out of your mind?"

Zhan Sijing paused, his deep eyes darkening slightly at Ye Qingwu's words.

His once dormant heart seemed to stir with excitement at the appearance of the woman before him.

Zhan Sijing stared intently at her, his gaze seemingly casual yet also intensely focused on finding the answer.

"Does my life or death matter to you?"

"Of course!"

Without a second thought, Ye Qingwu replied to Zhan Sijing, "Your Highness, Regent, don't forget our previous cooperation."

"So it was all just for cooperation..." Zhan Sijing's eyes held a hint of mockery.

Ye Qingwu realized that she had lost her composure, so she softened her voice as she spoke to Zhan Sijing.

"Your Highness, since I have promised to treat you, I will naturally take full responsibility."

"Just as your life now does not belong to you alone."

"If there are any more medicinal dishes like this in the future, you must let me see them and understand them first, okay?"

Ye Qingwu's attitude was gentle, but her tone was very firm, and she didn't seem to be negotiating with the other party at all.

Zhan Sijing looked at the person in front of him, a smile spreading across his handsome face.

Although this woman is a bit "domineering", this feeling seems pretty good.

"Your Highness, have you understood what I'm saying?"

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Ye Qingwu asked again, "If the other party does not cooperate during the treatment, it will be very difficult for me."

"I will listen to the princess."

Ye Qingwu felt much relieved and was about to pick up the nourishing soup on the table when she heard Zhan Sijing ask...
