After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Chapter 110 Strange Sound

"Can't refuse?"

Ye Xuan hesitated. It was not surprising that Ye Qingwu was only a princess, since he was a duke and had been Ye Qingwu's father.

Even if Ye Qingwu doesn't acknowledge this, he can't deny it. But the Regent's current attitude is different. That day in court, he only said a few words about Ye Qingwu's faults, but who knew that the prince would directly warn him in front of everyone.

You could say they didn't give him any face at all.

Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had known that the wicked girl had such abilities and could be protected by the Regent, he should have been more accommodating back then.

At least it shouldn't have come to this. As for Qingzhu's husband, he's just a scholar without any proper official title, so he's of no use at all.

"mother……"

Seeing that Ye Xuan was no longer paying attention to her, Ye Qingzhu quickly sought help from Madam Su.

When Su met Ye Qingzhu's gaze, how could she not understand what she was thinking?

“Master, I think Qingzhu is right. Think about it, all of this is really too strange.”

“I had heard that the gambling den was haunted by something evil, but Qingwu was completely unharmed and managed to escape unscathed, which is suspicious in itself.”

"Besides, we've consulted so many doctors but they haven't been able to find the problem, and Yuanfeng's condition is getting worse. Master, although Yuanfeng isn't my biological son, I raised him from a young age and treat him like my own. There's no difference between us."

To appear more heartbroken, Ms. Su lowered her head and took out a handkerchief to wipe away her empty tears.

Ye Xuan was also moved for a moment when he saw this scene. "It's not that I don't want to, but only the Emperor can play this role."

Only the Emperor himself would intervene; even the Regent would have to be cautious, let alone a mere Princess Consort.

Ye Qingzhu's eyes lit up; this was the opportunity she had been waiting for. She quickly said, "Father, then let's go to the palace and ask the Emperor to make a decision."

“The gambling den incident is indeed related to my sister. She cannot escape responsibility for it, especially since several sons of ministers are now in trouble.”

"Father, Second Brother's condition can't wait any longer."

Ye Qingzhu's words struck a chord with Ye Xuan, who sighed softly, "Fine, I'll go to the palace now. We have to find a way to resolve this matter."

"Someone, prepare the carriage."

Ye Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. With Ye Xuan stepping in this time, she wanted to see what Ye Qingwu had to say now.

I wish I could see the sixth princess at a time like this.

Even if Zhan Siwan can't directly attack Ye Qingwu, getting her involved will at least annoy her.

But how could she possibly enter the palace? Before she got married, the only way to enter the palace was by using the pretext of a banquet.

Now that she's married, and her husband is still Jiang Wenjin, even considering her status as a scholar's wife, she doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the palace.

If one were to suggest entering the palace with Ye Xuan, on this point...

Thinking of something, Ye Qingzhu quickly said to Ye Xuan, "Father, I want to go to the palace with you to expose Ye Qingwu's sorcery to the Emperor."

"Nonsense! Wasn't the punishment you received at the Regent's Palace last time enough?"

Ye Xuan refused outright, "I think you should stay in the Prince's mansion and not get involved."

Yuan Feng has already gone through this ordeal, and he doesn't want Ye Qingzhu to have any more problems.

“Father, last time it was because my sister broke the Regent’s curse and there was the matter of healing, but now it’s different. Since my second brother and those people in the capital had stomach aches because of being possessed by evil spirits, and what I saw at the Regent’s Palace further confirms this.”

"I promise I will only tell you what happened, and I will absolutely not cause you any trouble." As Ye Qingzhu spoke, she gave Su Shi a wink.

Although Madam Su was reluctant, she did not refuse, and said to Ye Xuan, "Master, I think..."

"Alright, I can handle this by myself!"

Ye Xuan said coldly, because of what had happened before, it would be a lie to say that he had no concerns about Ye Qingzhu's actions.

Not to mention, this kind of thing is bizarre to begin with.

After Ye Xuan left the Duke's mansion, Ye Qingzhu came to Su Shi's side and said, "Mother, why didn't you say a better word for me just now?"

Hearing her daughter's complaint, Madam Su said helplessly, "You saw it yourself. Your father was angry at the time. If I had said anything more, he probably would have scolded me too."

“But…” Su paused, looking at Ye Qingzhu with some suspicion.

"Qingzhu, are you really sure that Yuanfeng's matter is related to that brat Ye Qingwu?"

“Of course, Mother. I saw it with my own eyes when I was at the Regent’s Palace. I don’t know what Ye Qingwu did, but the black aura disappeared.”

Moreover, she had another way to make everything point to Ye Qingwu.

That bitch won't be able to escape as easily as before.

Su nodded, but remained hesitant about Ye Qingzhu's words.

"Qingzhu, if you want to deal with that brat Ye Qingwu, your mother will not stop you."

"But that brat is now the Regent's wife. I heard a few days ago that the Regent is extremely protective of her, so you'd better be careful."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu froze, asking incredulously, "Mother, are you saying the Regent treated her..."

Seeing Su nod again, Ye Qingzhu clenched her fist, feeling hatred and deep resentment.

This wretched woman has always been inferior to me in every way since childhood. Why is it that in my past life, when she married into the Regent's Palace, she didn't even get to see the Regent himself, and the people in the palace didn't even pay any attention to me?

But now, even though it's the same situation, things are different for Ye Qingwu.

She was truly unwilling to accept this situation.

Even if the Regent's curse is lifted, sparing her from the fate of being buried alive with him, what does it matter? As long as she is alive, she will never let Ye Qingwu have a good life.

Little one, you seem to carry a lot of resentment.

Suddenly, a faint voice came to Ye Qingzhu's ear.

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Qingzhu was startled and looked around, exclaiming in shock, "Who, who is speaking?"

Startled by Ye Qingzhu's sudden shout, Su looked around and asked Ye Qingzhu, "Qingzhu, what's wrong with you?"

"There are only the two of us here, who else could be talking?"

Ye Qingzhu felt a lingering fear. Ever since the Regent's curse was broken and she left the palace, she had been having strange and incoherent dreams.

The scene of a black cloud with a human face rushing towards me was especially terrifying, and the voice in the dream was exactly the same as the one I had just heard.

But it's daytime now, and she wasn't dreaming, so why is this happening?
