After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

But if she went back like this and those two palace maids found out, her life would surely be in danger.

She absolutely had to find a way to see Ye Qingwu.

In her anxiety, Ye Qingzhu shouted inside, "Ye Qingwu, come out right now!"

Leng Feng heard the commotion and walked over. His expression darkened when he saw Ye Qingzhu.

"What's going on here? And what's Ye Qingzhu doing here?!"

The guards standing guard there quickly explained when they saw Leng Feng, "It was Ye Qingzhu who said she had something important to see the princess. After we stopped her, she started shouting here."

"Guard Leng, what do you think we should do with this person?"

Leng Feng glanced at Ye Qingzhu, "Take her away and lock her up!"

"No, don't come any closer."

As the guards tried to drag her away, Ye Qingzhu's eyes were filled with fear.

Even if she can't leave the Regent's Palace now, at least she knows what happened. But if she's locked up and that palace maid finds out, she'll be completely finished.

"I am your queen's sister. What you are doing is disrespectful."

“Sister?” Leng Feng scoffed. “The Princess Consort has no connection with the Duke’s Mansion for a long time, so where would she get a sister?”

"Ye Qingzhu, just because the Princess doesn't mind some things doesn't mean we can."

Leng Feng drew his sword. "Keeping this Ye Qingzhu around will only cause trouble sooner or later. It's better to execute him now."

"No! You can't do this."

Seeing that her life was in danger, Ye Qingzhu didn't care about anything else and ran away.

Ye Qingwu, who was coming this way, happened to see this scene.

When Ye Qingzhu saw the people coming towards them, it was as if she had seen a savior. She shouted loudly to Ye Qingwu, "Sister, save me?"

Ye Qingzhu ran up behind her and clung tightly to her clothes.

The guards had caught up, but stopped when they saw Ye Qingwu.

"princess."

"How is this going?"

Seeing that they didn't exude any malevolent aura, Ye Qingwu couldn't help but wonder why they were chasing Ye Qingzhu.

At this moment, Leng Feng stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Ye Qingwu. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Qingzhu shouted, "Ye Qingwu, these guards want to kill me. You must stop them."

Seeing that Ye Qingzhu was still rambling on and on, Ye Qingwu frowned and said coldly, "Ye Qingzhu, you'd better shut up."

"Otherwise, I could have you executed right now."

Hearing this, Ye Qingzhu dared not say anything more, but still clung to her clothes.

“Your Highness, Ye Qingzhu is making a huge fuss outside the courtyard. Even after we tried to stop her, she still won’t give up.”

Ye Qingzhu was somewhat unconvinced and quickly said, "The reason I did this is because I wanted to see you."

"These people won't even report it. What else can I do?"

"You all stand down."

Ye Qingwu addressed Leng Feng and the guards beside him.

Although these people were dissatisfied with Ye Qingzhu's behavior, they could only respond and leave when Ye Qingwu spoke.

Ye Qingzhu only breathed a sigh of relief after Leng Feng and the others left.

"That was really close."

Ye Qingzhu felt terrified just thinking about it.

"open."

Ye Qingwu's gaze fell on the hem of Ye Qingzhu's tightly clenched clothes. Meeting those cold eyes, Ye Qingzhu trembled and quickly let go, taking several steps back.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Now that Ye Qingzhu was willing to crawl through a dog hole to escape from the Regent's Palace, only to be caught again by Ye Xuan, she should not dare to be so presumptuous anymore.

But in less than a few hours, he behaved so abnormally, which, combined with the evil aura he discovered along the way, led to this.

Ye Qingzhu's unusual behavior is probably related to these things.

"Those black wisps have reappeared! Ye Qingwu, you need to quickly think of a way to eliminate them."

Ye Qingzhu was emotional, and her body trembled slightly as she spoke.

"Did you see it too?"

Seeing Ye Qingzhu's appearance further confirmed Ye Qingwu's guess. But if it was evil energy, why wasn't Ye Qingzhu affected?

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly noticed the talisman paper lying on the ground and said coldly, "How did you get this?"

"No, it's those sheets you tore off the roof!"

Each of her talismans has a mark on it.

If it weren't for Ye Qingzhu's actions, that malevolent energy wouldn't have been able to enter the room where Zhan Sijing was.

"I……"

Ye Qingzhu recounted everything that had happened, including the scene of the palace maid dripping blood onto the stone.

"That's all I know, Ye Qingwu, you have to save me."

"save?"

Ye Qingwu sneered, "Ye Qingzhu, we have nothing to do with each other now, why should I save you?"

“If you hadn’t touched the talisman on the roof, the evil energy wouldn’t have affected the prince at all.”

Ye Qingzhu was terrified and quickly picked up the talisman from the ground and handed it over.

"I didn't know the purpose of that talisman at the time. I'll return it to you."

Seeing that Ye Qingwu did not reach out to take it, Ye Qingzhu became anxious.

"Ye Qingwu, don't forget what your father said before he left. He won't let you off if anything happens to me!"

Even at this point, they're still so arrogant.

"Then you can have him come."

Ye Qingwu left after saying this, realizing that there was no reasoning with someone like Ye Qingzhu.

"Cold wind."

Back in the courtyard, Ye Qingwu called Leng Feng over. Although Ye Qingzhu was being unreasonable, if the palace maid wasn't subdued quickly, it would inevitably affect more people in the mansion.

She handed over a talisman and said to Leng Feng, "Go and find the two palace maids who came to the mansion with Granny Chang. This talisman can absorb the surrounding black energy."

"Your Highness, I'm here, so there's no need to worry."

"Dark energy again?" Leng Feng was shocked. He then took the talisman from Ye Qingwu and replied, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will take care of the rest of the mansion."

After what happened last time, Leng Feng also witnessed the effects of the evil energy.

"Subordinates retire."

Ye Qingwu gave a soft "hmm" and then went into the room, arriving at Zhan Sijing's bedside.

When Ye Qingwu touched Zhan Sijing's wrist, her heart skipped a beat. How could she not feel his pulse?

If a person's pulse cannot be felt, it means that the person is already...

There's still a breath left. Could it be that the Cold Shadow Poison has flared up again?

Regardless of the reason, if Zhan Sijing cannot recover in a short period of time, the consequences will be dire...

It seems that the only method we can use is thirteen needles.

The reason she hadn't used this needle before was because she was worried that Zhan Sijing's body wouldn't be able to withstand the impact of the silver needle.

But now she had no choice but to use it. She placed the silver needles one by one on the acupuncture kit, and then took out a few talismans. This kind of acupuncture was different from ordinary acupuncture, and it carried a kind of power.

Once acupuncture begins, it must not be disturbed in any way, otherwise both the patient and the acupuncturist will suffer a backlash.
