After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Chapter 131 Even if it's dangerous, aren't you afraid?

"Yes."

In front of Ye Qingwu, Leng Feng did not hide anything, "A few days ago, the people below reported that a black cloud was found gathering in mid-air in a village not far from the capital, and then the villagers there discovered various things."

"Upon learning of this, I wondered if it was related to the previous incident, so I came to report to Your Highness."

Hearing these words, Ye Qingwu unconsciously looked at Zhan Sijing and asked in return, "If I hadn't asked today, Your Highness, were you planning to keep this from me?"

"Or does Your Highness intend to travel alone?"

"Leng Feng, you may leave now." Sensing the displeasure in Ye Qingwu's words, Zhan Sijing gave Leng Feng a look. After closing the study door, he walked up to Ye Qingwu and said softly, "Are you angry?"

Ye Qingwu turned her face away without answering, which made Zhan Sijing feel uneasy. He said nervously, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but the Princess Consort has already spent a lot of time and energy on me. I don't want you to worry about other things."

"If Your Highness finds this inappropriate, may I apologize to you?"

Zhan Sijing spoke in a very soft tone, yet it brought an involuntary sense of calm to those who heard it.

“Your Highness, I’m not angry. I’m just worried. Although the curse has been lifted, you still have the Shadowless Poison in your body. If you’re not careful, you could lose your life if you’re not careful.” Ye Qingwu looked at him and sighed softly. “But you’re going there in person at this time.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Sijing was taken aback, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Ye Qingwu asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?"

"No, I am just happy that the Queen Consort is so worried about me."

Zhan Sijing's eyes shone brightly as he fixed his gaze on Ye Qingwu, a joy he had never felt before filling his heart. Did this mean that he also had a place among Ye Qingwu's people?

He would be satisfied even with just a little.

Ye Qingwu was stunned by Zhan Sijing's words. She was worried about his safety, but what he was thinking was...

For a moment, Ye Qingwu felt a mix of emotions.

"Your Highness, I'm talking about serious matters," Ye Qingwu said sternly to Zhan Sijing.

"What I'm saying is also important, Your Highness. While you are worried about me, so am I. However, since the curse was lifted, I feel much better. The only problem is that when the black aura appears, I experience a slight pain in a certain part of my body."

Zhan Sijing had no intention of hiding this from Ye Qingwu.

Perhaps Ye Qingwu was right. If some things are kept hidden, in the end, it will only chill the hearts of those who truly care.

He didn't want Ye Qingwu to feel dissatisfied.

"Is that so?" Ye Qingwu's expression changed slightly after hearing this, and she immediately grabbed Zhan Sijing's wrist to take his pulse.

Judging from his pulse, Zhan Sijing's condition is stabilizing, and the Shadowless Poison in his body, including that Qi, has not dissipated.

So where does this discomfort come from?

Ye Qingwu looked at Zhan Sijing, only to find that he was also staring at her, his eyes fixed on her as if he had seen some treasure that he couldn't look away from.

"Is this discomfort only caused when the black aura appears?" Ye Qingwu asked, ignoring his gaze.

Zhan Sijing nodded.

After hearing this, Ye Qingwu seemed to be deep in thought, and pointed her finger to his heart, "Is it here?"

The moment Ye Qingwu's fingers touched his heart, Zhan Sijing felt a slight tremor in his body and nodded lightly, "Yes."

Ye Qingwu lowered her eyes and did not notice his abnormality.

Could it be related to the aura containing the Shadowless Poison?

She remembered that after the curse, the energy appeared out of nowhere. Although she didn't know its origin, the only thing she was sure of was that it was related to the black energy.

Now that the dark energy has appeared in a village, she has no choice but to go there.

Seeing Ye Qingwu lower her eyes and remain silent, Zhan Sijing said, "Your Highness should be able to guess that the black aura is related to my curse. This curse has followed me since I was born, and now that it has been broken by Your Highness, I naturally want to find out the reason for it."

Ye Qingwu looked up at the determination in Zhan Sijing's eyes and said, "What if we encounter danger on this trip? Aren't you afraid, Your Highness?"

"Hasn't the Princess been doing the same thing all this time?"

Knowing the matter would be difficult, he still agreed without hesitation. Besides, he no longer cared about those superficial things; the only thing he couldn't let go of was the person in front of him.

Ye Qingwu sighed softly. Yes, while she was asking Zhan Sijing, she was also asking herself.

Despite knowing the danger, she still pressed forward, and in some ways she and Zhan Sijing had too many similarities.

“If you wish to go, I will go with you.” Ye Qingwu glanced at the sky. “It’s getting late. Even if we reach the village, it will be evening. Shall we wait until tomorrow?”

"I'll listen to the Princess."

Ye Qingwu smiled.

the other side.

"Second Miss, the young master and the old lady left and haven't returned yet. Could it be that he's really determined to leave?"

Cui'er looked around every now and then and asked Ye Qingzhu.

Ye Qingzhu, however, was dismissive of this. She glanced at Cui'er, who was in a hurry, and her tone was full of contempt.

"Look at you, so spineless. So what if Jiang Wenjin doesn't come back? Do you expect me to beg him to come back?"

Moreover, with the imperial examination just around the corner, even if Jiang Wenjin didn't say it outright, she could tell that he wanted to use this examination to make a name for himself. But so what? Even if he became the top scholar, the Duke's Mansion behind her was not something that Jiang Wenjin, a poor scholar, could contend with.

In my previous life, that bitch Ye Qingwu used this very point, relying on the power of the Duke's mansion, to help Jiang Wenjin rise through the ranks and eventually become the Grand Secretary.

Ye Qingwu also benefited from this, becoming the wife of the Grand Secretary and being granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady by the Emperor.

Now, it is I who am married to Jiang Wenjin, and I have absolutely no connection with Ye Qingwu.

Ultimately, whether it's the Grand Secretary's wife or a first-rank imperial consort, she will only be herself.

Although the regent whom Ye Qingwu married was of noble status, his sickly appearance meant that even if the curse was lifted, he would not live long.

Moreover, she now has that person's help.

Ye Qingzhu clenched her fist, feeling that victory was within her grasp.

When that day comes, she will make Ye Qingwu kneel on the ground and pay the price for what she has done during this time!

Just then, Ye Qingzhu felt a strange pain in her chest.

A gust of wind blew the tightly closed door open, and Ye Qingzhu's expression changed drastically.

Cui'er was puzzled by this scene and muttered to herself, "Why did the wind suddenly pick up?"

Just as Cui'er was about to close the door that had been blown open, she saw Ye Qingzhu take the first step, her tone anxious and urgent.

"Cui'er, get out of here."

Cui'er was startled by Ye Qingzhu's sudden words. "Second Miss..." Before she could finish speaking, Ye Qingzhu pushed her away.
