After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"Take the man away, interrogate him, and then expel him from the mansion."

Zhan Sijing's voice came through.

"Yes."

After Leng Feng left, Zhan Sijing came to Ye Qingwu's side and said, "Your Highness need not worry about matters concerning the Royal Palace. I am here."

"The Princess Consort has done enough for the household and for me during this period of time."

Zhan Sijing's eyes were full of heartache; he feared that Ye Qingwu hadn't had a good night's sleep in a while because of his problems.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? Now that I'm here and have become your princess, I naturally have the responsibility to take on these things."

Ye Qingwu didn't find anything wrong with it and said seriously to Zhan Sijing, "Your Highness, you don't need to feel like you owe me anything. Didn't we agree to cooperate from the beginning?"

She would not stand idly by until the Cold Shadow Poison in Zhan Sijing's body was completely dissipated.

“But your current condition…” Ye Qingwu sighed softly, her face showing some worry, and tentatively asked Zhan Sijing, “Your Highness, have you felt any discomfort since you regained consciousness?”

"No."

"That's good..." Ye Qingwu lowered her eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

She is currently unable to determine the origin of the airflow or why it envelops the Cold Shadow Poison. If the poison could be isolated, that would be ideal, but what if the poison and the airflow are mixed together?

If the airflow suddenly disperses and spreads to various parts of the body, it's unimaginable what might happen if multiple symptoms occur simultaneously.

What will Zhan Sijing go through at that time? Ye Qingwu sighed, feeling that the current peace and tranquility was only superficial.

The bizarre evil aura, the various things related to the curse, Ye Qingzhu's rebirth—all of these things deviate from the original setting in the book, and no one knows how things will develop next.

Just as she was feeling worried, Zhan Sijing took her hand. His gaze was firm, and his handsome face and beautiful eyes reflected her image.

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry about me. Everything will be alright."

"For me, meeting you is the luckiest thing."

Ye Qingwu was taken aback, and for some reason, her heart seemed to be touched by Zhan Sijing's words.

"Why would Your Highness bring up such a thing?"

"Qingwu, I'm serious," Zhan Sijing repeated. "Do you also believe in me?"

He didn't need Ye Qingwu to be at the forefront of everything.

Ye Qingwu nodded slightly and smiled brightly at him, "Okay."

"Even so, if you feel unwell in the future, you must tell me. You cannot hide it or use your internal energy to cover it up."

Ye Qingwu instructed Zhan Sijing that although she would check Zhan Sijing's pulse every once in a while, there might be times when she couldn't attend to him.

If that negligence causes irreversible damage...

"I agree."

the other side.

Inside the study of the Duke's mansion.

"Father, is there something you want to tell me by calling me here?"

Ye Yuanfeng, who had followed Ye Xuan into the study, asked.

Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Yuanfeng and said in a deep voice, "I'm asking you, do you feel that the Azure Mist is any different from before?"

"Different?" Ye Yuanfeng was puzzled, but the thought of Ye Qingwu made him very angry.

“Father, if there is any difference, it is that Ye Qingwu’s previous attitude was all an act. Now that she has become the Regent’s Consort, she thinks that because she has someone backing her up, she dares to disregard all of us. It’s really despicable.”

"Yuanfeng, you must remember, Qingwu is still your biological sister." Ye Xuan frowned and reminded Ye Yuanfeng.

Ye Yuanfeng became even more disdainful, "What biological sister? Dad, you saw her attitude back then."

"This Ye Qingwu is going to sever ties with all of us."

"That's why you need to change. From now on, when you see Qingwu, you must address her as Your Highness, and you can't do it like before."

"Why is that?" Ye Yuanfeng asked, puzzled. He remembered that Ye Xuan had been just as dissatisfied with Ye Qingwu's behavior as he had been before, but how could he change his mind now?

Even if things were to change, that person would still be Ye Qingwu.

Why should I do it?

Ye Yuanfeng became more and more indignant. He didn't want to grovel before Ye Qingwu; that would be too humiliating.

Seeing that Ye Yuanfeng still disagreed with his words, Ye Xuan shouted coldly.

"You dare ask me what I'm doing!"

"Ye Qingwu broke the Regent's curse, and the Emperor values ​​her so much. Even if we put that aside..."

“Yuanfeng, you have no official position, and those people are only letting you off the hook because of me. But Qingwu is now the Regent’s Consort, and she deserves the Regent’s protection.”

“In the past, the Regent was troubled by the curse, and even if you made a fuss, no one had the time to pay attention to you. But things are different now. In short, you must obtain Qingwu's forgiveness, or you should try to pass the imperial examination.”

“You really should learn from your older brother in this respect. You two are only a year apart, yet he has already joined the army and become a junior general. And what about you?”

Ye Yuanfeng quickly interrupted Ye Xuan, "Father, we weren't talking about anything related to Ye Qingwu, why are you bringing up my elder brother again?"

"I'm different from my older brother, okay?"

"You go out."

"Let me think about what will happen next." Ye Xuan felt annoyed by Ye Yuanfeng's useless appearance.

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuanfeng quickly left the study. He wondered how his sister Qingzhu was doing and thought it would be a good opportunity to go and check on her.

As they walked into the garden, they saw a shadowy figure lurking not far ahead.

"what are you doing?"

The shout startled Wang, who was prying the inlays off the artificial hill. She lost her balance and fell off the hill.

At this moment, Ye Yuanfeng had arrived in front of Wang Shi, his face grim as he looked at the jewelry that had fallen from her body.

"How dare you break into the Duke's mansion and steal!"

"Guards, seize her and interrogate her thoroughly!"

Ye Yuanfeng's shout quickly attracted the attention of those around him, and the guards rushed over upon hearing the order.

When Wang saw so many people gathering around, she was terrified.

"Second Young Master, may I ask where the thief is?"

Ye Yuanfeng pointed in that direction.

Upon hearing the guards address Ye Yuanfeng, Wang, who was on the ground, quickly said, "It's a misunderstanding, you've all misunderstood. I'm not a thief."

“I am your son-in-law’s mother.”

"Uncle..."

The guard stopped what he was doing and looked at Ye Yuanfeng. "Second Young Master, what do you think we should do about this?"

Ye Yuanfeng snorted coldly, his tone full of disdain, "How come I've never heard of Jiang Wenjin having any mother before?"

"Arrest them first, then we'll talk."

Jiang Wenjin, who was heading this way, saw his mother being dragged away by two guards and was so frightened that he rushed forward.
