After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Chapter 120 Strange Phenomena

Now, Ye Qingwu is not only a princess, but also has the protection of the regent. It is simply impossible to make her obedient.

unless……

Ye Xuan suddenly remembered apologizing in the Imperial Study. Although it was somewhat embarrassing, it was the only way at the moment. If Ye Qingwu could not resolve the current situation, he would be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor.

At that point, he'll have something to say about him!

Thinking of this, Ye Xuan replied impatiently to the guard, "If she refuses to come, ask her if the promise she made in the Imperial Study still stands."

Seeing that the guards were still standing there without moving, Ye Xuan urged, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!"

The Regent's Palace.

As soon as Ye Qingwu and Zhan Sijing's carriage stopped outside the mansion, a figure rushed over, pleading, "Your Highness, please save my second young master!"

Ye Qingwu lifted the carriage curtain, only to see a black aura surrounding the man. This was...

"Explain yourself clearly!"

"Your Highness, I am a guard from the Duke's mansion. I am here on the Duke's orders to ask you to come to the mansion. I don't know what happened to the Second Young Master's room. Suddenly, a lot of black mist appeared, and anyone who got close to it fell to the ground unconscious."

"Black mist?"

The cold wind standing there immediately sensed something was wrong, because he had a general understanding of what had happened in the mansion and the gambling den some time ago.

Wherever dark energy appears, nothing good will happen.

But why is it the Duke's mansion this time?

"Your Highness, the Second Young Master is, after all, your own brother by blood. Please, disregard past grievances, lend a helping hand."

The guards were practically kneeling on the ground, begging Ye Qingwu repeatedly.

"Since Ye Yuanfeng is in trouble, why not look for someone else?"

Ye Qingwu found it strange, because Ye Xuan had always been dismissive of these things, so why did he believe them now?

The guard was taken aback by Ye Qingwu's sudden question, "Your Highness, the Duke also said that he would ask you not to ask about the promise you made in the Imperial Study."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwu instantly understood what Ye Xuan was really planning. The matter of treatment had been mentioned in front of the Emperor, and given Ye Xuan's apology, if she didn't go, she would be guilty of deceiving the Emperor.

They were trying to pressure her with this, but under normal circumstances, she would never have paid any attention to such things.

But now that the malevolent energy has reappeared, she is determined to go and see for herself.

Ye Yuanfeng alone is a small matter, but if it spreads, it could cause a large number of casualties.

"Go and tell him that I will be there shortly."

Ye Qingwu said to the guard.

With Ye Qingwu's permission, the guard was finally relieved. This way, he would have something to say when the Duke asked.

After the guards left, Leng Feng stepped forward and asked with slight concern, "Your Highness, are you really going to the Duke's mansion? What about those people there...?"

“My past grudges with them are one thing, but if Ye Yuanfeng’s condition is really caused by evil energy, if we don’t deal with it now, it will cause a disaster sooner or later.”

Even for that reason alone, she had to make the trip.

Ye Qingwu turned around and looked at Zhan Sijing, who was still inside the carriage.

"Your Majesty..."

"Let's get in the carriage first."

Ye Qingwu was stunned, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, are you coming to the Duke's Mansion with me?"

"of course."

"Okay," Ye Qingwu replied softly.

In the Duke's Mansion.

After returning from near the lotus pond, Ye Qingzhu had been trying to find out the other party's identity.

She was certain that the strange voice that called itself "Old Man" was the same thing she had seen at the Regent's Palace during that time.

But how did it end up targeting her?

However, one thing is certain: the other party did not intend to harm her, otherwise she might already be lying there like Ye Yuanfeng.

"Mom, what happened?"

As Ye Qingzhu walked along, she saw the servants around her in a panic. When she saw that Madam Su was not far away, she asked in confusion.

Chun'er spotted Ye Qingzhu first and exclaimed happily, "Madam, look, the Second Miss is over there!"

"Green bamboo?"

Madam Su quickly stepped forward and hugged Ye Qingzhu tightly. "Chun'er just said you weren't feeling well, and it worried your mother so much."

"Tell your mother how you are feeling now. Should we call the doctor?"

"Mother, I'm fine now, but I saw these servants were in a panic just now. What's wrong with them?"

Faced with Ye Qingzhu's question, Su's expression became somewhat complicated.

"Yuanfeng is probably possessed by an evil spirit."

"But he deserved it, going to a gambling den."

"Bewitched?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the thing had taken effect?

Ye Qingzhu felt a sudden sense of panic. She had witnessed the terrifying black energy firsthand. She continued to probe Su Shi, "Mother, does Father have any ideas about how to deal with this?"

Madam Su sighed softly, "Speaking of this matter, I also find it strange. Logically speaking, when encountering strange things, one should at least invite a Taoist priest, but your father insisted on sending someone to the Regent's Palace to find that wretched girl Ye Qingwu."

"Could it be that she has such abilities?"

Ye Qingzhu didn't answer again. Although she didn't want to admit it, Ye Qingwu did have some skills.

"My lord, if Ye Qingwu comes, do you really have a way to deal with him?"

Ye Qingzhu went to a secluded corner and asked the strange voice.

Is it fake?

Ye Yuanfeng and Ye Qingwu are siblings from the same mother and share some blood relation, making it most suitable to use him to deal with them.

Just you wait and see.

This regent's wife ruined my cultivation, destroying all the cultivation I had painstakingly accumulated. The curse was almost complete.

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu was shocked. "You mean to say that the Regent's curse originated from you?"

"Humph!"

The man merely snorted, but did not refute Ye Qingzhu's words.

Ye Qingzhu's mood became somewhat complicated. In other words, she had ended up being buried alive with the regent because the regent's curse had come true.

Unexpectedly...

However, things are different now than in her previous life, and she is no longer the Regent's Consort. Since this dark aura wants to settle scores with Ye Qingwu, it has actually done just that for her.

She wanted to see if Ye Qingwu could get through this safely like last time.

As they approached the Duke's mansion, Zhan Sijing's face turned slightly pale, his forehead was covered in fine sweat, and he felt a faint pain in his heart.

He tried his best to suppress the discomfort so that Ye Qingwu wouldn't notice anything amiss.

"My lord, what's wrong with you?"

When Ye Qingwu came out of the space, she saw Zhan Sijing's pale face and immediately grabbed his wrist to take his pulse.

how so!

The aura enveloping the Cold Shadow Poison began to move, even showing signs of surging.
