After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

When Ye Qingwu tried to get closer, she found that the black mist had already completely enveloped Zhan Sijing.

If this isn't eliminated soon, Zhan Sijing's life will be in danger at any moment.

However, it would be difficult for her to subdue Zhan Sijing on her own right now; she would need to find a few more helpers.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingwu called out, "Cold wind!"

Upon hearing the order, Leng Feng entered and respectfully approached Ye Qingwu, asking, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

"Do you have a way to knock the prince unconscious?"

Ye Qingwu's words startled Leng Feng. He looked up and saw Zhan Sijing shrouded in black energy, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"Your Highness, the Prince..."

Ye Qingwu nodded, her expression grave. "The prince is currently entangled in black energy and his life is in danger at any moment. You must help me knock him unconscious."

Even if you can't knock him out, you must subdue him.

Ye Qingwu said seriously that the longer the evil energy remained in Zhan Sijing's body, the more likely it would cause some aftereffects, even if it was drawn out later.

Not to mention the Cold Shadow Poison in his body; the combined effects are simply unimaginable.

"I will do my best."

Hearing this, Leng Feng didn't dare to hesitate and headed towards Zhan Sijing, who was surrounded by murderous aura. During this process, Ye Qingwu was also busy.

During the fight between Leng Feng and Zhan Sijing, several silver needles flew past, just at that moment.

"Cold Wind, hurry up and do it!"

Zhan Sijing's acupoints were sealed with silver needles, and the evil energy within his body seemed to sense the danger and rushed away in a panic.

"What are you waiting for?"

Seeing that Leng Feng still hadn't made a move, Ye Qingwu urged him on. The silver needles inserted into the acupoints were starting to fall off; if this continued, time would run out.

"Your Highness, please forgive me!"

With a determined heart, Leng Feng slashed at Zhan Sijing's nape. Ye Qingwu took out a talisman and began chanting an incantation.

The malevolent energy that was originally attached to Zhan Sijing's body was gradually absorbed by the talisman until it disappeared completely.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qingwu quickly took Zhan Sijing's pulse. Unlike before, his pulse was very erratic. Most importantly, the Cold Shadow Poison in Zhan Sijing's body was showing signs of flaring up.

She needs to be treated as soon as possible.

Leng Feng looked at the unconscious Zhan Sijing, his eyes filled with worry.

"Your Highness, how is the Prince now?"

Ye Qingwu took a deep breath, her expression becoming extremely solemn. "Although I have expelled the evil energy from the prince's body, his condition is now more serious than before."

"Next, I will treat the prince. You will go outside and keep watch. No one is allowed to approach during this time. If the treatment is interrupted, there may be irreversible consequences."

“Irreversible…” Leng Feng’s face turned pale. Thinking of the rumors about the curse, with the princess’s medical skills, the only way Ye Qingwu could say such a thing was death.

"Your Highness, rest assured, no matter what happens, I will keep a close watch and not let anyone get close!"

Ye Qingwu nodded. With Leng Feng's words, she felt much more at ease.

"Your subordinate has gone out."

The moment the door closed, Ye Qingwu took out medical supplies from her spatial storage.

She didn't care about curses or how difficult the process was; she was determined to ensure Zhan Sijing lived a good life.

After the turmoil just now, the people outside were already filled with anxiety, and even the once arrogant Commander Wang looked uneasy.

Seeing Leng Feng come out of the house, he quickly asked, "Guard Leng, what is the situation now? And what are those black gases floating in the air?"

"Could all of this really be related to a curse?"

The people around were talking about it. Seeing this, Ye Qingzhu seemed to have found a breakthrough and quickly stepped forward.

"Didn't I say before that Granny Chang's death had nothing to do with me? It was all caused by those dark energies. Now that you've all seen it with your own eyes, you should believe me, right?"

Ye Qingzhu stood with her hands on her hips, speaking with a smug look on her face.

"Disperse, all of you! Don't gather here!"

Seeing all these people standing there, Leng Feng said with dissatisfaction.

"You few go over there to keep watch, the rest of you go to the west."

Commander Wang received no answer, but after what had happened before, he dared not say anything more and could only follow Leng Feng's orders.

Although Ye Qingzhu was kicked out, she had a bad feeling when she thought about Ye Qingwu's expression when she entered the room.

That room is where the Regent resides. Could it be that something has happened to the Regent that could make Ye Qingwu show such an expression?

Only when they were some distance from the courtyard did the guards and palace maids brought by Commander Wang say, "Do you think the fire in Granny Chang's courtyard, and today's events, might be related to a curse?"

"After all, once today is over, as the curse foretold, the Regent will..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by those around him.

The other palace maids said with lingering fear, "Are you out of your mind? How dare you talk about curses like that?"

"Commander Wang, may I ask if, if this is true, is it still possible for us to return to the palace?"

Commander Wang suddenly fell silent. In the past, it would have been perfectly reasonable for him to return to the palace after the matter was over.

But now that Granny Chang's incident has happened, if the Regent Prince really suffers any mishap because of the curse, I'm afraid not only the Regent Princess, but everyone in the entire mansion will be buried with him.

"Since the Regent's Consort promised the Emperor that she could find a way to break the Prince's curse, there shouldn't be any problems."

Commander Wang did not answer the question he had just asked, but instead tried to change the subject, which made everyone present even more uneasy.

"Yes, the Regent's wife just threw out a talisman and eliminated the black energy. There must be a way."

In situations like this, those present can only try to think the best of things.

During this process, Ye Qingzhu did not approach, but listened quietly to what these people were saying.

No, she couldn't place all her hopes on Ye Qingwu.

Having finally come back to life, she absolutely cannot repeat the same mistakes; she must find a way to escape from the Prince's mansion.

If I can find my father, he will surely be able to save me.

With this idea in mind, Ye Qingzhu began to wander around the vicinity. She didn't know if it was her imagination, but apart from the guards guarding the gate, the guards patrolling the palace seemed to have mysteriously disappeared.

Or rather, they were all transferred by that guard named Leng Feng to the vicinity of the Regent's residence.

This gave Ye Qingzhu an excellent opportunity. She refused to believe that there was no other place in the mansion besides the main gate.

Ye Qingzhu walked around the mansion and felt quite tired. When she saw the bamboo forest in the distance, her eyes lit up.

Could the passage out of the palace be behind the bamboo forest?

Thinking of this, Ye Qingzhu didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and quickly headed into the depths of the bamboo forest.
