After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"Princess, how is the prince?"

Leng Feng, who was waiting outside, saw Ye Qingwu come out of the house and quickly asked.

"He's fine, just a little weak."

Ye Qingwu said.

Hearing this, Leng Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good..."

"Who?"

Leng Feng looked around warily, his gaze finally settling on a corner not far away.

"Yes... it's me."

Seeing the approaching cold wind, Ye Qingzhu said fearfully, and then walked out from behind the artificial hill.

"What are you doing here?"

Ye Qingwu raised her hand, signaling Leng Feng to step back.

"I...I am..."

Ye Qingzhu looked at Leng Feng with some fear, and stammered out the rest of her words.

"Leng Feng, you stay here and keep watch. Tell me when the prince wakes up."

After giving her instructions, Ye Qingwu said to Ye Qingzhu, "Come with me."

Ye Qingzhu followed closely behind Ye Qingwu, feeling a deep fear of the cold wind.

In her past life, when she knew she was to be buried alive with the dead, she tried every means to escape, and it was this guard who caught her and brought her back.

The only thing she didn't understand was why these guards and servants who had treated her badly in her previous life were so respectful in front of Ye Qingwu.

Ye Qingwu has changed so much recently. Could she be like me?

That shouldn't be the case. If Ye Qingwu had been reborn like me, why would she agree to a marriage exchange and marry into the Regent's Palace?

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the back garden. Ye Qingzhu was wondering if Ye Qingwu had been reborn like her when she saw Ye Qingwu suddenly stop.

Ye Qingzhu didn't notice for a moment and bumped into him, while Ye Qingwu took a step to the side.

"what."

With no one to stop her, Ye Qingzhu was about to fall to the ground when Ye Qingwu reached out and pulled her back at the crucial moment.

Ye Qingzhu, who had barely managed to stand, turned pale with fright.

"Speak, what did you want to say to me just now? Why were you hiding there?"

Ye Qingwu asked Ye Qingzhu.

"I..." Ye Qingzhu was about to speak when she looked around again to make sure there was no one else before she spoke.

“You asked me to deal with that Granny Chang, but when I went there, I overheard that the palace maid telling the palace servants that if anything happened to the Regent, we would both be executed.”

"Ye Qingwu, do you really have a way to cure the prince?"

Ye Qingzhu spoke nervously, her previous arrogance completely gone; she lost her composure the moment something involved her.

"What do you see as the difference between execution and being buried alive with the dead?"

Ye Qingwu retorted, "What you need to do is make sure that Granny Chang doesn't appear in front of me."

"But she was a palace maid, and someone close to the Empress Dowager."

"Ye Qingwu, do you want me to offend them?"

"How can it be considered offending them? They sent Commander Wang here and also brought you here because they couldn't be sure who would bring about a turning point."

"During this process, they can't do anything to you."

"You can rest assured about this."

"After this is over, I will naturally find a way to deal with them."

Ye Qingwu's gaze was icy, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"That's what you said."

Ye Qingzhu didn't know why, but she always felt that what Ye Qingwu said was true.

It's as if she can always do what she says.

Before, she would have thought she was crazy, but now, just as Ye Qingwu said, she had no choice.

If she does as Ye Qingwu says, she will likely repeat the same mistake.

"And one more thing."

Ye Qingzhu looked at Ye Qingwu, her mind unsettled.

Is the Regent really alright?

"Ye Qingwu, don't lie to me. I've already agreed to all those things."

Ye Qingwu sighed helplessly at Ye Qingzhu's repeated questioning.

"If something were wrong, why would I be here talking to you so much?"

"Your Highness, so you've been here all along."

Accompanied by hurried footsteps, Granny Chang came towards them, followed by three palace maids.

"What's the matter?"

Ye Qingwu looked at the people brought by Granny Chang and said coldly.

"Your Highness, I have also heard about what happened with Commander Wang earlier."

"No matter what, Commander Wang is the commander in charge of protecting the imperial city in the palace. How can you treat him like this?"

"Besides, he was also thinking about the safety of His Highness the Regent."

Seeing Granny Chang lecturing her again, Ye Qingwu's eyes turned cold, which was also why she needed Ye Qingzhu.

She glanced in Ye Qingzhu's direction.

Ye Qingzhu instantly understood Ye Qingwu's intention. Since these people were going to take her life anyway, it didn't seem to make any difference whether she offended them sooner or later.

Besides, there are also those things Ye Qingwu said!

Thinking of this, Ye Qingzhu stepped forward and said, "Granny Chang, Commander Wang spoke rudely to the Princess, so he should be punished, let alone if he did nothing."

Do you want to be like him?

"Ye Qingzhu, how dare you speak to Granny Chang like that!"

The palace maid who came with Granny Chang was mindful of her status and naturally dared not say much when facing Ye Qingwu.

But Ye Qingzhu was different. Even though she was the daughter of a duke, she later married a scholar and became nothing special.

"You all have quite the nerve!" Ye Qingzhu was angered by the palace maids' reprimand.

"So what if she's a nanny? She's still just a servant."

"Since you are a servant, you cannot be so rude to the princess."

Ye Qingwu was somewhat surprised, not expecting Ye Qingzhu to say such a thing.

When Granny Chang heard Ye Qingzhu say that, her face turned red with anger.

"Your Highness, Ye Qingzhu is so unruly, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Granny Chang asked Ye Qingwu.

“Granny Chang, this Ye Qingzhu is not from the manor, but one of us who has a chance to turn things around.”

"How do you want to manage this?"

"If something goes wrong, if the situation doesn't turn out as planned, can Granny Chang bear the responsibility?"

Ye Qingwu's words left Granny Chang speechless.

She knew very well that if she missed this opportunity, even if the Empress Dowager herself intervened, she might not be able to save herself.

Upon hearing these words, Ye Qingzhu's initial concerns vanished completely, and she became even more unrestrained.

"Granny Chang, did you hear what the Princess Consort said?"

"Since you yourself call yourself an old servant, you should know the rules!"

Ye Qingzhu felt very pleased after saying these words. This was someone close to the Empress Dowager; in the past, who would have dared to offend her?

Not to mention speaking like that, in her previous life, she also went to the palace during those seven days, and the way Granny Chang looked at her was utterly contemptuous.

I never thought this day would come, and she took this opportunity to vent her anger!
