After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"You also bear half the responsibility for this," Ye Qingzhu shouted loudly in Ye Qingwu's direction.

"Heh." Ye Qingwu sneered, "Ye Qingzhu, I only asked you to deal with Granny Chang, not to go there late at night. I don't need to say what your purpose is in going there at this time."

"who?"

Leng Feng, who was standing guard nearby, noticed the commotion and warned him alertly.

"Your Highness, I will go and take a look."

Ye Qingwu nodded.

Ye Qingzhu was also a little scared and said to Ye Qingwu, "Then what do you think we should do now? Everyone thinks I set the fire and killed Granny Chang."

"Even if you manage to save the Regent's life, after the matter is over, Granny Chang will be someone close to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager will not let me off the hook."

Ye Qingzhu became more and more frightened as she spoke. She had thought that after being reborn, she would have wonderful days to enjoy, but she never expected to be captured again and brought back to the Regent's Palace to suffer these torments.

The more Ye Qingzhu thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt, and she burst into tears.

Ye Qingwu was speechless. Why did this person suddenly start crying while talking?

"Ye Qingzhu, where did your ability to instigate Ye Yuanfeng go?"

Ye Qingwu spoke with a look of disdain to Ye Qingzhu, who was crying.

Upon hearing Ye Qingwu's words, Ye Qingzhu immediately retorted, unconvinced.

"Even if Ye Yuanfeng causes you trouble, what does it have to do with me?"

"Besides, isn't Ye Yuanfeng your older brother born of the same mother? If he really cared about you, he wouldn't believe what I said so easily."

Ye Qingwu's gaze turned cold, and her mood became somewhat heavy. Ye Qingzhu was right; this so-called family affection was truly worthless.

Even Ye Qingzhu could sense this, so why wouldn't Ye Yuanfeng understand?

If they had protected the original owner even a little bit, the original owner wouldn't have disappeared completely.

Ye Qingwu felt it was all for naught, and felt even more sorry for the original owner of this body.

She will collect all these debts and the things they owe for the original owner of the body sooner or later.

"Ye Qingzhu, if you continue to cry, I will hand you over to Commander Wang tomorrow."

"Given Commander Wang's personality, he will surely take you to the palace. What might happen then is anyone's guess."

Ye Qingzhu stopped crying instantly at Ye Qingwu's words, her eyes filled with extreme fear and resentment.

"If that's the case, then all these things between me and the Empress Dowager are related to you!"

If anything were to happen to her, she would definitely drag Ye Qingwu down with her.

Ye Qingwu narrowed her eyes slightly, "Otherwise, you can give it a try."

"Ye Qingzhu, before we go on, I have to remind you that if you really do this, the consequences will only be worse than they are now."

Ye Qingzhu shuddered. "Then what do you suggest we do now?"

"Now just do as I say."

No matter how much you explain things about evil spirits, it won't make any difference to laymen.

Moreover, even if Ye Qingzhu wasn't responsible for what happened with Granny Chang, she was indeed there.

Moreover, it was witnessed by others, making it impossible to exonerate anyone involved.

This leads to the only explanation being a curse.

Since everyone thinks Zhan Sijing's condition is caused by a curse, why doesn't she take advantage of that?

"princess."

The cold wind that had gone to check on the situation returned.

"how?"

Ye Qingwu asked.

"When my subordinates arrived, they did not find anyone suspicious."

"I'm afraid they had already left before that. I'm worried..."

Leng Feng paused, unsure whether he should say what was next.

"Just speak frankly," Ye Qingwu said, seeing Leng Feng's hesitant expression.

"Your Highness, I am worried that the person may have overheard your conversation with Ye Qingzhu. If those things get out, it will be extremely detrimental to Your Highness."

“Leng Feng, your concerns are not without reason, but you forgot one thing beforehand.”

"Today is the last day before the curse comes true. No one in the Regent's Palace is allowed to leave."

“Since that person heard something, he must have also seen something related to the black aura. As long as he is still in the Prince’s mansion, we are not afraid of not being able to find him.”

"Alright, it's almost dawn, you should all leave now."

Ye Qingwu untied the ropes binding Ye Qingzhu and spoke to the two of them.

But Ye Qingzhu took a step back and said firmly, "No, I won't leave."

Given the situation just now, if Ye Qingwu hadn't appeared, the palace maids and Commander Wang would have dealt with her.

With Ye Qingwu by her side, at least those people wouldn't dare to do anything. But if she left now, she couldn't believe what might happen to her.

Seeing Ye Qingzhu like this, Ye Qingwu frowned and asked, "Then what do you want?"

"Are you planning to stand in this yard the whole time?"

“Of course… I won’t be standing.” Ye Qingzhu quickly said, “Anyway, I’ll go wherever you go.”

"Ye Qingwu, in short, don't even think about getting rid of me."

Seeing that Ye Qingzhu was still clinging to her, Ye Qingwu found it all laughable.

"Ye Qingzhu, my patience is limited."

"Cold wind."

"My subordinate is here."

"If Ye Qingzhu still refuses to leave, knock her unconscious and send her back."

She already has enough on her plate and has no time to deal with Ye Qingzhu.

"My subordinate understands!"

"Ye Qingzhu, you should think carefully if you want to stay here."

After Ye Qingwu finished speaking, she went into the house. With such a big commotion just now, even with her calming incense, it shouldn't have been completely unaffected.

Compared to the disturbances from the outside world, what she was most worried about was Zhan Sijing's safety.

Upon entering the room, Ye Qingwu went to Zhan Sijing's bedside.

The person on the bed was still fast asleep. Ye Qingwu placed her hand on Zhan Sijing's wrist and only felt relieved after confirming that there was no problem with his pulse.

Previously, she only thought that Zhan Sijing's body was so weak because of the corrosion of the Cold Shadow Poison, but the appearance of the evil aura made her feel that there was probably more to it than that.

Especially the so-called curse, which gave her a vague sense of unease.

A suspicion arose in her mind, and she hoped that things wouldn't turn out the way she expected.

Ye Qingwu drifted off to sleep in a daze until she heard a commotion outside.

"princess."

Hearing the commotion, Ye Qingwu went outside and saw Commander Wang standing outside the courtyard with several guards and the palace maids from the previous night.

"What is Commander Wang planning to do with so many men?"

“Your Highness, I have just received news that the fire in Granny Chang’s courtyard was not only caused by Ye Qingzhu, but also related to you. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation for this?”

"explain?"
