Chapter 118 Who's there?
"Lord Ye, please don't be angry. Let's talk things out."
One of the officials pulled Ye Xuan aside and tried to dissuade him.
"It seems that the Duke has a great deal of opinion against my Queen?"
Zhan Sijing's voice came, startling everyone into awe.
Several officials were terrified by Zhan Sijing's appearance. Fortunately, they hadn't done anything out of line and had even stopped Ye Xuan from making a move.
Otherwise, you might get implicated in this matter.
In the imperial city, besides the emperor, the regent is the one you absolutely cannot mess with.
Ye Xuan froze, somewhat shocked by Zhan Sijing's appearance.
"Your Highness the Regent."
Zhan Sijing glanced at Ye Xuan, sending a chill down one's spine.
“Duke Ye, if I remember correctly, my queen has long since severed ties with the Duke’s mansion. Your disrespect for her is disrespect for me.”
"The Regent..."
"You few go and tell the Emperor what just happened."
Zhan Sijing said to the guards standing at the palace gate.
"Yes."
The guards responded quickly; they had long heard that the Regent was completely obedient to the Regent's wife, and now it seemed that this was indeed true.
Upon hearing this, the officials panicked and quickly said, "Wait!"
“Your Highness Regent, we were wrong just now. We just wanted the Princess to get medical treatment as soon as possible.”
The matter at the Imperial Study had just passed, and if the Emperor were to find out about it, they would surely be punished.
"Please forgive us."
"forgive?"
Zhan Sijing said coldly, "Then it depends on whether my queen is willing."
The officials instantly understood Ye Qingwu's meaning and quickly apologized.
"The Regent's Wife..."
"Alright, considering you were misled, I won't hold it against you. As for the treatment, I have a few talismans here. Each of you should stick one on the headboard of your bed, and your condition will naturally improve within a day."
"Thank you, Your Highness," the official said hastily. Some of them couldn't help but have some doubts and tentatively asked, "Your Highness, is it enough to just stick the talisman on the headboard? Is there no need to prescribe any other remedies?"
"You must have consulted many famous doctors before entering the palace, but none of them worked?"
"Don't worry, if it doesn't work, just come back to me."
Ye Qingwu's words were tantamount to giving these people an invisible guarantee.
"Your Highness, we should go back now."
Ye Xuan stood there, trembling with anger as he watched Ye Qingwu and Zhan Sijing leave. He was certain that Ye Qingwu's actions just now were intentional.
This wretched girl is retaliating for what just happened, giving talismans to everyone but omitting herself. She is utterly despicable and hateful.
"Your talismans..."
Before Ye Xuan could finish speaking, the officials said one after another, "Your Excellency, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Their purpose in coming here was to seek medical treatment, and now that they have obtained the necessary medicine, why bother making things difficult for themselves?
The Duke's Mansion.
After some commotion, Ye Qingzhu finally left the government office and ran straight to Madam Su's place as soon as she arrived at the mansion.
"Mother! You must make this decision for your daughter."
Seeing her daughter's disheveled appearance, Madam Su felt heartbroken. "Qingzhu, didn't you go back? Why are you back at the government office?"
She hadn't quite heard Chun'er's explanation at the time, but now that she saw Ye Qingzhu had returned safely, she was ready to ask her in detail.
"It's all because of that bitch Ye Qingwu!"
Ye Qingzhu said angrily, "Mother, I can confirm that this Ye Qingwu knows evil magic!"
"She just can't stand to see me doing well, that's why she wants to get revenge on me for what happened before."
"I knew it."
"only……"
Madam Su sighed, "Qingzhu, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but if you hadn't proposed the marriage exchange when you married the Regent, that brat Ye Qingwu wouldn't have been able to take advantage of you. Now, given her status, the Regent is clearly biased towards her."
"How can I, your mother, make decisions for you?"
Ye Qingzhu snorted coldly, disregarding what Su Shi said. She had no desire to marry the Regent, a man afflicted by a curse. Even without the curse, his past ailments would not allow him to live much longer.
"Mother, I already have a way to deal with Ye Qingwu."
"Method?"
Hearing Ye Qingzhu's words, Madam Su felt inexplicably uneasy. "Qingzhu, you can't act like before. Yuanfeng's matter has already made your father furious. If something else happens to you now, things will get really serious."
Knowing her daughter's temperament, Madam Su quickly gave her some instructions.
"Mother, don't worry, I know about these things."
Why should she take matters into her own hands to deal with Ye Qingwu?
"Mom, I want to be alone."
"That's fine."
After hearing this, Madam Su didn't say anything more. After giving some instructions, she left.
After confirming that Su had left, Ye Qingzhu secretly went to Ye Yuanfeng's courtyard.
"Second Miss, what are we doing here?"
Even though Ye Qingzhu and Ye Yuanfeng are siblings, there are still differences between men and women.
"Stop talking nonsense! Just do what I tell you to do. If you dare to ask any more questions, I'll kick you out right now!"
Faced with Chun'er's repeated questioning, Ye Qingzhu only felt annoyed.
What she hated most was someone nagging on her side. She could tolerate other people, but what right did a maid have to interfere in her affairs?
Chun'er trembled, unsure whether it was from the ferocity on Ye Qingzhu's face or from being frightened by his words, and dared not continue speaking.
Ye Qingzhu glanced around and said, "You stay here and keep watch. I'm going in. If there's any movement, let me know immediately."
"Second Miss, you wouldn't be thinking of..." Chun'er couldn't help but ask, despite her fear.
"What are you thinking? I'm just going to take a look." Ye Qingzhu snorted coldly, and then went to Ye Yuanfeng's courtyard.
She had inquired and found out that because the people in the mansion thought Ye Yuanfeng had a strange illness, there was no one guarding him, so it would be easy for her to get in.
She went to Ye Yuanfeng's bedside, took out a prepared sharp blade from her sleeve, squatted down, and made a small cut on Ye Yuanfeng's finger, from which blood flowed instantly.
Quick! Take that stone out.
Upon hearing that voice, Ye Qingzhu shuddered violently, realizing what was happening.
She then took out a small stone wrapped in cloth and dripped Ye Yuanfeng's blood onto it. In an instant, the stone flashed red and then turned black.
A cloud of black energy entered Ye Yuanfeng's body. Seeing Ye Yuanfeng surrounded by black energy, Ye Qingzhu was terrified and took several steps back.
How is this going!
Who's inside!
Hearing a commotion coming from Ye Yuanfeng's courtyard, the servants shouted.
What should we do? Someone's coming in! What if they see us...?
