After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"Since the second young master of the Duke's mansion is unwilling to leave, then throw him out!"

"His Majesty has decreed that anything that interferes during these two days shall be executed without mercy."

"Ye Yuanfeng, do you want to give it a try?"

Ye Qingwu's words, along with the guards carrying swords, clearly frightened Ye Yuanfeng.

Given what happened last time, he couldn't guarantee that Ye Qingwu wouldn't actually do something like that.

He wouldn't dare gamble with his own life.

"Don't come any closer, I... I'm leaving!"

As the two guards approached, Ye Yuanfeng's tone sounded somewhat hurried.

As he turned around, his gaze fell upon Ye Qingzhu, and he hesitated for a moment.

“Sister Qingzhu, it’s not that I don’t want to take you away, it’s just that Ye Qingwu is too cunning.”

"But don't worry, I'll go back and tell my father about this now. He will definitely not sit idly by when he finds out."

After finishing his sentence, Ye Yuanfeng turned to Ye Qingwu and said, "Ye Qingwu, let me tell you, if Sister Qingzhu suffers even the slightest harm here, I will not let it go."

Watching Ye Yuanfeng's rapidly departing figure, Ye Qingwu scoffed, "He's certainly fast!"

Ye Qingzhu, who had been waiting for Ye Yuanfeng to avenge her, was dumbfounded.

This person left a few words and just left?

They're so useless!

"Ye Qingzhu, Ye Yuanfeng is gone. Your wishful thinking is probably going to fall through."

When Ye Qingzhu came to her senses, she was startled to find Ye Qingwu standing in front of her.

Her face was pale as she said to Ye Qingwu, "Sister, I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Didn't you want to use Ye Yuanfeng to deal with me? It might have worked a little before, but now..."

"You already know about the curse, so you should also understand what the consequences would be if something really happened to the Prince in the next two days."

She took another step closer to Ye Qingzhu and said, word by word, "Do you want to be buried with her?"

The words "to be buried alive with someone" seemed to be an inescapable nightmare in Ye Qingzhu's mind, causing her to completely break down despite her forced composure.

"No! Ye Qingwu, don't try to scare me with something like this."

"Now that you are the Regent's wife, not me, even if someone has to be buried with you, it should be you!"

Ye Qingzhu looked almost frantic, her face contorted as she said to Ye Qingwu, "Ye Qingwu, your good days are coming to an end."

"is it?"

"Then why are you here?"

"Why don't you think about this carefully? Doesn't the Regent's Palace have any guards? Why would the Emperor send someone here, especially a commander from the palace?"

"That's because if anything happens to the prince, everyone in this manor will be buried with him, including you."

Ye Qingwu's words shattered all of Ye Qingzhu's hopes.

"Is this outcome okay with you?"

"Ye Qingwu, you!!!"

Ye Qingzhu wanted to refute, but the current situation, and the fact that she had to stay in the Regent's Palace, was tantamount to telling her.

Ye Qingwu was not wrong.

But she had finally been given a second chance at life, and she still had good days to enjoy. How could she die like this?

"Ye Qingwu, what are you so smug about? Even if I have to be buried with you, as the princess, you will be the first to bear the brunt."

"If you behaved yourself, perhaps we could all survive."

"What did you say?"

Ye Qingzhu was taken aback, clearly not expecting Ye Qingwu to say such a thing.

Her gaze was fixed on Ye Qingwu, and she hurriedly asked, "Ye Qingwu, repeat what you just said."

"Do you have a way to save the Regent's life?"

"No...that's unlikely too."

In her past life, it was because of the regent's sudden death that she was forced to be buried with him. What could Ye Qingwu do?

"All sorts of strange things will happen in this world; nothing is impossible."

"And for you right now, there is no choice."

Ye Qingzhu quickly regained her composure and asked Ye Qingwu, "Then what do you want me to do?"

"It's very simple. Deal with that Granny Chang from the palace, and if there's any other movement in the mansion, let me know."

These past two days, she has been on high alert for any unexpected events, especially the Cold Shadow Poison within Zhan Sijing's body.

Relying on the Empress Dowager's orders, Granny Chang would frequently appear before her, pointing fingers and giving orders.

Since Ye Qingzhu has also been forced to stay here, we might as well make use of that.

Moreover, given Ye Qingzhu's ability to argue and cause trouble, it would be most appropriate for her to step in.

"It's that simple?"

Ye Qingzhu was still puzzled, clearly skeptical of Ye Qingwu's claim that there was a way to save her.

"Do you still remember what Granny Riju said about the turning point?"

"Of course I remember! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have..." Ye Qingzhu stopped mid-sentence, suddenly startled.

She had already lived one life, and in the end, she was dragged down to be buried with him. Clearly, the person who brought about this turning point was not herself.

Then it can only be Ye Qingwu.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingzhu took a deep breath and said, "Okay! I'll do as you say."

"However, Ye Qingwu, if you dare to lie to me, I will absolutely not let you get away with it!"

With Ye Qingzhu handling Granny Chang, things will be much quieter for her.

However, there are still a few things she doesn't understand about these matters.

In the book, the original owner of the body was the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion, and the position of regent's wife was originally meant for her. It was Su Shi and Ye Qingzhu who persuaded Ye Xuan to agree to the marriage exchange for wealth and status.

Now, whether it's Ye Qingzhu's rebirth or his own arranged marriage, it's simply a matter of reversing the wrongs.

Why was there no description of the original owner becoming the regent in the book? What went wrong here?

And that imperial advisor...

Ye Qingwu lowered her eyes, feeling uneasy as if she had overlooked something.

She found some copper coins and prepared to have her fortune told.

Before transmigrating into the book, she was not only a master of both medicine and poison, but also the next head of a Xuanmen family.

If it weren't for a twist of fate that led me here, I'm afraid...

Upon seeing the omen on the copper coin, Ye Qingwu frowned.

how so.

A great omen.

Does this mean that Zhan Sijing's fate is unchangeable?

Just as they were about to look at the last copper coin, they saw a cold wind rushing towards them.

"Your Highness, please go and see him quickly. The Prince is unresponsive no matter how we call him."

"what!"

Ye Qingwu stood up, and the last copper coin fell to the ground. She had no heart to look at it now, and followed Leng Feng toward Zhan Sijing's courtyard.

A terrible omen... Could it refer to Zhan Sijing...?

No!

She can't let that happen!

When they arrived at Zhan Sijing's courtyard, there were many guards surrounding it, including Commander Wang.

What are you all doing here?!

Upon seeing these people, Ye Qingwu sternly rebuked them.

"Your Highness, is the Prince unwell? Can you tell us the truth?"

These people are quick to spread information, so fast that she suspects there's an inside mansion!
