After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"The truth?"

Faced with Commander Wang's question, Ye Qingwu stepped forward and said sternly.

"Commander Wang, what kind of truth do you want?"

"His Highness needs rest right now, and you've brought so many people here. Are you trying to disturb his peace and hoping something will happen before you stop?"

Ye Qingwu's words stunned everyone, and the scene fell silent. Commander Wang had not expected that the woman in front of him could have such an imposing presence.

"Your Highness, I was only worried about the Prince's safety and had no intention of disturbing him."

"If that's the case, then step back!"

Ye Shiwu instructed, but Commander Wang stood there without showing any intention of leaving, and she sneered.

"It seems my words are useless. In that case, Leng Feng! Make your move!"

Leng Feng, who was standing to the side, was also surprised to hear this. He had long disliked this so-called Commander Wang, who used the emperor's orders as a shield, which was really arrogant.

"Princess Regent, I have come on His Majesty's orders. If you make a move, are you perhaps trying to disrespect His Majesty?"

Hearing this, Ye Shiwu found it amusing. "The Emperor's order?"

"Could it be that the Emperor instructed you to disturb the Prince's peace and quiet?"

"Don't forget, the Emperor only ordered you to protect the safety of the Prince's residence. Commander Wang, you failed in your duty, and that alone is enough to make you unforgivable."

"Do you want to try it?"

Ye Qingwu's words startled Commander Wang, and a clear sense of apprehension appeared in his eyes.

"Leng Feng, if these people are still unwilling to leave, there's no need to be polite. As for the consequences, I will bear them all."

"I'd like to know whether His Majesty cares about the safety of the prince or a commander!"

Leng Feng clasped his hands together and said, "Your subordinate understands."

Commander Wang took a step back. Although he was unwilling, he understood that Ye Qingwu was right, and quickly left with his men.

"Your Highness, what about the Prince..." Although Commander Wang had left, the Prince's condition was indeed not good, which was why he was in such a hurry to find Ye Qingwu.

Ye Qingwu nodded, "You stay here and keep watch, I'll go in and take a look."

After saying this, Ye Qingwu walked into the house. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a man sitting by the bed with a slight smile on his handsome face when he saw her.

"How are you feeling?" Ye Qingwu quickly stepped forward, took his hand, and immediately took his pulse.

Strangely, although Zhan Sijing's pulse was weak, he did not show any symptoms of the Cold Shadow Poison attack.

But the paleness on his face and the weariness in his eyes revealed that Zhan Sijing was not doing well.

"The king is fine."

Seeing Ye Qingwu's concern for him, Zhan Sijing spoke very softly.

"But Leng Feng said you..."

"That's just how Leng Feng is; he magnifies even the smallest things. Did the Princess notice anything unusual when she took his pulse?"

Ye Qingwu remained silent; it was precisely because she hadn't noticed anything unusual that she had asked the question.

But Zhan Sijing's expression... made it impossible for her to feel at ease.

What went wrong.

She took out a small bottle of spiritual spring water from her spatial storage and placed it in Zhan Sijing's hand.

"Drinking this will restore your body's vitality."

Although the spiritual spring water has a detoxifying effect, the Cold Shadow Poison is extremely yin and evil. Unless an antidote is prepared, it can only suppress the poison.

However, some of the ingredients in the antidote are extremely difficult to find.

"Your Highness, if you feel unwell anywhere, please tell me, okay?"

Ye Qingwu looked serious as she spoke to Zhan Sijing.

"Your Highness, actually I..."

Zhan Sijing took out a token from his sleeve and handed it to her.

The token was made of gold, and it felt heavy in my hand. It also had the character "璟" on it.

Why are you giving me this?

Ye Qingwu asked, and just by looking at the material of the token, she could guess that this thing must be of great importance.

"This token can summon all the guards in the manor, including Leng Feng. If something happens to me in two days, they will escort you away from here."

His physical condition is very clear; how could it possibly be cured with just a few words of medical treatment?

Protecting Ye Qingwu's safety was the only thing he could do.

"What are you saying!" Ye Qingwu returned the token to him, grasped Zhan Sijing's hand, and said angrily, "Your Highness, didn't I tell you already?"

"No matter what, I will definitely heal you!"

"Are you acting like this because you lack confidence in me, or because you can't face the situation?"

No matter how great the obstacles from the outside world, she can face them calmly. But when it comes to Zhan Sijing, if the person involved has lost hope of survival, then no matter what she does, it will be of no use.

"Your Highness, as far as I know, no one has ever survived the Cold Shadow Poison."

"Whether it's Commander Wang sent by the Emperor or Granny Chang from the Empress Dowager's side, their purpose is very clear."

"I don't want anything to happen to you."

He also wanted to stay by Ye Qingwu's side, but how could a few days of treatment change the torment that had lasted for more than ten years?

"Since Your Highness understands this, then live well."

“Those people are acting recklessly under the orders of the palace. Your Highness can take this opportunity to teach them a lesson.”

"Believe me."

Even if it's a terrible omen, so what? She's already transmigrated into a book; why would she believe in so-called divination?

"Please trust me, okay?" Ye Qingwu said earnestly.

"Ah."

Perhaps inspired by the determination in Ye Qingwu's eyes, Zhan Sijing nodded, feeling his strength gradually returning.

Perhaps Ye Qingwu was right. Over the years, he had long lost hope for the future, but Ye Qingwu's appearance gave him a glimmer of hope.

It was precisely because of this possibility that he wanted Ye Qingwu to be well.

I wanted to make sure she didn't get hurt because of me.

She wanted to live, so how could he continue...?

Ye Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Zhan Sijing still hand over the token.

"keep it."

Ye Qingwu's gaze met Zhan Sijing's. Seeing that he no longer looked as dejected as before, she didn't think much of it.

"Okay, I'll keep this token for now. Just let me know if you need it."

Ye Qingwu took the token and sent it into her spatial dimension through her sleeve.

"Now lie down first."

Ye Qingwu said to Zhan Sijing, "I'll give you acupuncture first."

Even though the Cold Shadow Poison is suppressed, the weakness in the pulse should not be underestimated.

Zhan Sijing did not refuse and lay down on the bed as Ye Qingwu had instructed.

Ye Qingwu then took out her acupuncture kit, pulled out a few silver needles, and inserted them into the acupoints on Zhan Sijing's arm.

During this process, she lit some calming incense, hoping that the incense would help Zhan Sijing get some rest.

After the acupuncture, Ye Qingwu removed the silver needles from the acupoints one by one.

Zhan Sijing was fast asleep at this moment. Looking at his handsome face, Ye Qingwu's belief became even stronger.

If the previous treatment was merely a collaboration to ensure a smooth departure, now she truly wants him to live.
