After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Faced with Zhan Siwan's relentless questioning, Ye Qingwu asked, "Then what does the Sixth Princess think should be done?"

"Then..." Zhan Siwan hesitated for a few seconds after being asked the question, "Unless you make the Imperial Uncle appear, then you are lying."

"Siwan, don't be silly."

The emperor was slightly displeased with Zhan Siwan's behavior, saying, "The person standing in front of you is, after all, your imperial aunt. As a princess, you cannot be impolite."

Zhan Siwan took a few steps back, responding somewhat reluctantly.

She would never admit that Ye Qingwu was her imperial aunt.

"Regent's Consort, do you know the consequences of deceiving me?"

After reprimanding Zhan Siwan, the emperor then addressed Ye Qingwu.

Ye Xuan, who had been watching the situation from the sidelines, suddenly became nervous.

You must understand that once something escalates to the crime of deceiving the emperor, the one who suffers in the end will definitely not be just Ye Qingwu; he and the entire Duke's Mansion will also be implicated.

Punishing the criminals is a minor matter; the real issue is that everyone involved should be punished as well.

“Your Majesty, I am not lying. Although the Prince is still unconscious, his health is not seriously affected. If you do not believe me, you can let the imperial physician go in and examine him. The truth will be known immediately upon examination.”

"Imperial Physician."

"Wei Chen is here."

Several imperial physicians stepped forward, their faces full of respect.

"Go inside and check on the Regent's condition."

They had arrived outside the courtyard where Zhan Sijing was, and the imperial physicians went inside on the emperor's orders.

Ye Qingwu looked around and felt that something was wrong. Didn't he ask Leng Feng to guard this place before he left? But where did he go?

Along the way, not only was there a cold wind, but even the guards who were originally stationed nearby had disappeared, which was really strange.

Could something have happened while she was away?

But it shouldn't be.

At this moment, the imperial physician who had entered the room rushed out again, looking anxious, and said, "Your Majesty, His Highness the Regent is not in the room."

"Not here?"

The crowd erupted in uproar, with Zhan Siwan being the most agitated.

"Didn't you say that the Imperial Uncle was just unconscious? Why is there no one in the room?"

Ye Qingzhu became frightened again, suddenly realizing that the so-called curse had been broken. Could it be that Ye Qingwu had made up this excuse to escape responsibility?

In his previous life, the regent had already died on the very day the curse came true.

Even if we were to have another chance, would we still be unable to escape our fate?

Ye Qingzhu clenched her fists, wishing she could rush over and tear that bitch Ye Qingwu to pieces.

She had already told her everything, yet Ye Qingwu dared to deceive her!

Does this mean that she will eventually be captured and buried with the deceased?

No...no...

"Qingzhu, what's wrong?"

Ye Yuanfeng was the first to notice Ye Qingzhu's unusual behavior.

Ye Qingzhu glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to her situation before lowering her voice and saying, "Second brother, do you think that what sister said about the Regent being in a coma is just a fabricated excuse?"

"In fact, the Regent is already under a curse..."

Ye Yuanfeng also felt worried after listening to Ye Qingzhu's words.

If it were the Ye Qingwu of the past, she probably wouldn't have done such a thing, but now, it's hard to say.

"Regent's Consort, what explanation do you have now?"

The emperor's face darkened, and he was already angry.

Ye Qingwu also felt strange; Zhan Sijing was clearly still in the room, so how could he have disappeared?

"Your Majesty, please allow me to go in and take a look."

The emperor did not respond, nor did he stop Ye Qingwu's actions. Zhan Siwan followed closely behind, her eyes fixed on Ye Qingwu, and said fiercely, "Ye Qingwu, with me here, don't even think about playing any tricks!"

Besides Zhan Siwan, Ye Qingzhu also went in. She knew very well that if the Regent Prince were to suffer any mishap at this time, even if Ye Xuan were here, the Emperor would not be able to save her.

Even if it means their own safety is at risk, she will not let Ye Qingwu go, even if it means death.

Upon entering the inner room, Ye Qingwu was momentarily surprised to see the person on the bed disappear.

"Fine, Ye Qingwu, what do you have to say now? Are you trying to make your curse come true, but you're afraid of being held accountable by the Emperor, so you deliberately staged this?"

Zhan Siwan said angrily to Ye Qingwu.

Perhaps because there were only the three of them in the room, the Emperor and the others did not follow them in, and Ye Qingzhu also showed an angry expression.

"Ye Qingwu, didn't you say before that you would definitely cure His Highness the Regent? Were you lying about all that?"

Just as Ye Qingwu was wondering what went wrong, she heard Ye Qingzhu and Zhan Siwan shouting at her.

"You all shut up."

Ye Qingwu's gaze was icy. Because of what had happened recently, although Ye Qingzhu wanted nothing more than to kill this bitch, she still felt a kind of fear towards Ye Qingwu, especially at this moment.

Although she couldn't do anything to Ye Qingwu, the Sixth Princess could, and even the Emperor, who was waiting for news outside, could take Ye Qingwu's life with just a word.

"Sister, you were the one who agreed to this back then, how can you say such things now?"

"Especially in front of the Sixth Princess."

Zhan Siwan was also momentarily stunned by Ye Qingwu's aura, and only reacted when she heard Ye Qingzhu's words.

Yes, why should she be afraid of Ye Qingwu?

Enraged, Zhan Siwan raised her hand to strike Ye Qingwu.

Ye Qingwu moved aside, and Zhan Siwan, who had been exerting all her strength, suddenly missed her target and grabbed Ye Qingzhu just as she was about to fall.

With a loud thud, the two of them fell to the ground together.

Zhan Siwan was utterly disheveled, almost gritting her teeth as she said to Ye Qingwu, "Ye Qingwu, how dare you hide?"

Ye Qingwu glanced coldly at the two of them, then suddenly noticed a note in the corner.

What is this?

Ye Qingwu went to the corner, picked up the note, and when she saw its contents, her doubts were relieved.

So that's how it is, no wonder they've all disappeared...

"Sixth Princess, are you alright?" Ye Qingzhu got up from the ground and asked Zhan Siwan with concern.

"Sister, you have deceived everyone, and now you even dare to hurt the Sixth Princess. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will find out and you will be punished even more severely?"

"Yes! Ye Qingwu, you just wait! I'll go tell Father Emperor about these things right now!"

As Zhan Siwan rushed out, Ye Qingzhu followed. When she caught a glimpse of Ye Qingwu, she saw that Ye Qingwu looked calm and showed no signs of panic about being questioned.

What's wrong with this bitch? How can she be so calm when she's about to die? Or is it all an act, trying to achieve some goal?
