After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Previously, the princess had repeatedly obstructed the matter concerning Ye Qingzhu, but now this person keeps appearing.

Why not get rid of this scourge for the princess now?

Seeing that Leng Feng really intended to kill her, Ye Qingzhu trembled with fear. "Guard Leng, you can't kill me. Although Ye Qingwu has severed ties with the Duke's Mansion, I am still a member of the Duke's Mansion."

"If something happens to me, the Duke's Mansion will definitely cause trouble for Ye Qingwu. Also, the reason I am here is because of that so-called turning point."

"Do you want the curse to come true completely?"

“You can’t be the one to bring about a turning point in the curse,” Leng Feng said definitively. However, although Ye Qingzhu was annoying, she was right about one thing.

If anything happens to Ye Qingzhu now, it will definitely cause trouble for the princess.

"Guard Leng, swords have no eyes, could you please move this sword away for once?"

Ye Qingzhu pleaded.

Leng Feng sheathed his sword and said coldly to Ye Qingzhu, "Ye Qingzhu, I won't kill you now, but if you cause any more trouble for the Princess, I will show no mercy no matter what your reasons are."

"Get out of here!"

Ye Qingzhu was unwilling to accept this. Why was it that in her previous life, when she married into the Regent's Palace and became the Regent's Consort, no one in the palace ever gave her a second glance?

But Ye Qingwu is different. This bitch is someone everyone ignores and everyone can kick her while she's down. But things are different after the marriage is arranged.

This is so unfair!

Ye Qingzhu took several steps back, until she was far enough away from Leng Feng that he wouldn't rush forward, before saying, "Guard Leng, you don't really believe that Ye Qingwu has any way to save His Highness the Regent's life?"

"The reason she brought up the matter of treatment in front of the Emperor was just to buy time. Don't be fooled by her."

"It seems you're not going to give up yet."

Seeing that Leng Feng was about to draw his sword again, Ye Qingzhu turned pale and dared not stay any longer, so she turned and ran.

Leng Feng looked at the figure running at top speed, his disdain growing stronger.

He naturally understood whether the princess was capable or not. Putting aside the curse related to the prince, the sudden appearance of the black aura alone would have thrown the palace into chaos before the curse even arrived, had it not been for the princess's intervention.

Ye Qingzhu stopped running after running for a while, panting heavily, when she saw that Leng Feng was not chasing her.

But then she saw the two palace maids standing there. Ye Qingzhu's eyes widened, and remembering that the black aura was gone, she loudly questioned, "Well, I finally found it!"

“You two are from the palace, yet you dared to use witchcraft in the Prince’s mansion. I saw you dripping blood on the stone.”

"I think Granny Chang's unusual behavior is related to you!"

The two palace maids looked shocked when they heard Ye Qingzhu's words.

"Ye Qingzhu, what do you want to do?"

"What happened to Granny Chang has nothing to do with us."

The two palace maids explained to Ye Qingzhu that they knew very well that if the matter of witchcraft were to spread, they would surely lose their lives.

Seeing the fear in their eyes, Ye Qingzhu perked up instantly, "But you said before that I was the one who did it."

"Tell me honestly where those stones came from!"

"I……"

"Ye Qingzhu, if we tell, can you guarantee you won't expose us?"

The palace maid closest to Ye Qingzhu asked her a question.

"Of course." Ye Qingzhu nodded, trying to get some useful clues out of these people.

“In that case, we’ll tell you what happened. We found those stones in Granny Chang’s bundle.”

“There was a legend that if you dripped blood on a stone, it would help you make your wish come true, and you should have heard about the Regent’s curse.”

"If the curse comes true and the Regent leaves as a result, not only the Regent's wife, but everyone in the mansion will be buried with him."

"That's why we used this method, but we didn't expect this to happen."

"Who still knows about the matter of dragging everyone down with them to be buried alive?"

"Where are Commander Wang and the others?" Ye Qingzhu was very excited. It was already close to evening, and rather than waiting for the curse to come true, it would be better to gather more strength.

"Commander Wang was unaware of these matters. He and the guards who came from the palace believed that they would be able to return to the palace tomorrow after today."

"Then what are we waiting for? Quickly tell Commander Wang about this."

Ye Qingzhu said anxiously, "Didn't Ye Qingzhu dare to promise the Emperor that she could cure the Regent? All the responsibility should be borne by this wretched woman."

Why should she be buried with them?

Under Ye Qingzhu's threats, the two palace maids had no choice but to agree and follow her to Commander Wang.

"Is what you're saying true?" Commander Wang was shocked to hear what the two men were saying.

"Commander Wang, at this critical moment you must think of a solution."

Seeing that Commander Wang had remained silent since hearing the news, Ye Qingzhu seemed a little anxious.

"What can I do? If something happens to the Regent, he will be buried alive with him by the Emperor's order. There's no escaping it."

"Who said that? The promise was made by the princess. We should at least ask her for a promise."

"Yes, Commander Wang, you should think about us too."

The remaining guards, gripped by the fear of being buried alive with their husbands, spoke up one after another.

"We just want an explanation from the princess, at least to know if there is any way to break the curse."

"Yes, since the princess can deal with that black energy, there might be a turning point."

“You’re right.” At their suggestion, Commander Wang led the group toward the courtyard where Ye Qingwu was.

Ye Qingzhu was overjoyed to see this.

That's great. With Commander Wang and so many people around, she no longer needs to be afraid of that so-called Cold Guard.

She needs an explanation from Ye Qingwu.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingwu was treating Zhan Sijing, with only three needles remaining.

These three needles were particularly crucial, and Ye Qingwu dared not slack off in the slightest.

Just then, a chaotic noise suddenly came from outside.

"We just want an answer from the princess."

"princess."

The shouts outside continued. Ye Qingwu frowned. What was wrong with these people? Why did they have to come at such a crucial moment?

No, if this continues, all the previous treatments may be for naught.

"Leng Feng, tell them all to shut up!" Ye Qingwu's face darkened as he shouted sternly towards the outside.
