After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Chapter 107 An Anomaly Discovered

There are too many questions here. If it really is related to rebirth, why would the other party choose Ye Qingzhu?

And who exactly was the black-clad figure sitting in the formation that day, seen through the prayer beads? Was her transmigration into the book orchestrated by someone behind the scenes?

If she wants to leave this world, she must figure these things out.

Putting aside the aura for now, she needed to develop an antidote to neutralize the Cold Shadow Poison.

Once the toxins are neutralized, she will have other ways to deal with the remaining energy.

study.

"Your Highness, just now the guards of the palace brought Ye Qingzhu into the palace, and the two seemed to have had an argument."

"I think there must be something strange about Ye Qingzhu."

"Since the princess has ignored it, it would be pointless for me to intervene."

Zhan Sijing showed no emotion on his face. You must know that his princess was no ordinary person who would just stand by and watch others bully her.

The fact that Ye Qingzhu wasn't dealt with directly suggests there must be other concerns.

What he had to do was protect her safety and shield her from any danger.

"How's the investigation going regarding the smuggling you saw at the casino?"

Zhan Sijing asked Leng Feng.

"I have already sent a letter to the Imperial Preceptor about what happened here. I suppose the Imperial Preceptor is aware of the ominous aura appearing in the capital."

Zhan Sijing nodded. Although Ye Qingwu had the ability to subdue those things, more contact with him would inevitably increase the danger.

"Go back."

As soon as Zhan Sijing finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed. He felt a sharp pain in his chest and his face turned pale.

Upon seeing this, Leng Feng hurried forward and said anxiously, "Your Highness, what's wrong? I'll go and fetch the Princess Consort right away."

"stop."

Seeing that Leng Feng was about to leave the study, Zhan Sijing called out, "I'll be fine in a bit. There's no need for the Princess to know about such a trivial matter."

"She has already gone through enough hardship for me; if she knew, she would surely worry about it."

Zhan Sijing placed his hand on his chest, and the needle-like pain slowly subsided.

“But…” Leng Feng still looked worriedly in Zhan Sijing’s direction, unsure of what to do.

"There are no 'buts,' this is an order."

Zhan Sijing's tone was icy, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Understood, Your Highness." Leng Feng replied, then turned to Zhan Sijing and said, "Your Highness, if you have any other discomfort, please be sure to mention it."

"I know you don't want the Princess to worry, but some situations will only get worse if they aren't discovered early."

By then, it will probably be more than just a matter of worry.

He believed that the princess must think the same way, but since the prince's order came first, he had to obey.

"Ah."

"You go out."

Zhan Sijing sat in a chair next to his desk with an unreadable expression. After the study door was closed, he stretched out his hand and saw a faint wisp of energy swirling in his palm before disappearing.

It seemed as if everything just now was an illusion. Ever since the curse was broken, he could feel a ball of energy surging wildly in his body. Originally, this energy was scattered throughout his body, and the situation was only brought under control after he ate those fruits.

Recently, he discovered that he could control that energy, even if only for a moment, but it was accompanied by pain in his chest.

He knew his own body condition very well. If he couldn't get an antidote, all he could do was make arrangements for Ye Qingwu's safety on his deathbed.

Even without her, no one in the capital could exert pressure on her, including those in the palace.

And the other side.

Back at the house, Ye Qingzhu grew angrier the more she thought about it. She had wanted to confirm with Ye Qingwu whether she knew about her past life, but she almost got tricked into revealing information.

And that Jiang Wenjin, he actually dared to leave directly, just abandoning him like that.

When Jiang Wenjin returns, she will definitely make him pay.

"Let's go back to the Duke's mansion now."

Ye Qingzhu clenched her fists. She couldn't just sit and wait to die in this situation. If she couldn't get any clues from Ye Qingwu, she would try to find out some information from the gambling den.

Ye Yuanfeng had only recently been confined to her home by her father, and since the matter was related to Ye Qingwu, she must be filled with resentment at this moment.

If she simply intervenes in the process, even without her directly intervening, someone will deal with that bitch.

At that point, she can simply watch the show.

Ye Qingzhu had just led Chun'er past the pavilion when she saw two figures hurrying towards them.

"Second Miss, you see, she is the son-in-law's mother."

Chun'er pointed in that direction and said to Ye Qingzhu.

"I know."

"Be careful, all of you. These are all precious porcelain pieces. If you accidentally break them, even if you sell yourselves, you still won't be able to afford to pay for them."

Wang's sarcastic voice came from behind.

Ye Qingzhu found this scene strange. Although Jiang Wenjin was a scholar, he didn't even have enough money to afford a sumptuous meal at a restaurant, so how could he buy such precious porcelain?

Where did the money that Wang spent come from?

Meanwhile, Wang Shi also saw Ye Qingzhu and Chun'er walking towards them, and immediately froze, using her body to block Ye Qingzhu's gaze from looking this way.

"Hey, isn't this Qingzhu? I heard you went out a few hours ago, why are you back so early?"

Wang Shi changed her previous harsh tone and smiled at Ye Qingzhu.

But it was precisely because of this that Ye Qingzhu sensed something strange.

Almost everyone in the house knew that she didn't get along with this old woman. The reason she agreed to let Wang stay was not only because of Jiang Wenjin's request, but also because of her mother's intention.

If it weren't for that, she would have kicked them out before she would have been satisfied.

"Where did these porcelain pieces come from?" Ye Qingzhu questioned Wang Shi.

"Of course I paid for it."

When facing Ye Qingzhu, Wang seemed a little guilty.

"You're paying?"

Ye Qingzhu snorted coldly and said irritably, "With Jiang Wenjin's meager amount of money, can he afford something like this?"

"You didn't steal things from the house to sell before buying this, did you?"

Ye Qingzhu's words seemed to provoke Wang Shi, causing her to become very agitated.

"Ye Qingzhu, you'd better watch your words. I'm your mother-in-law now!"

"And you are also a daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. What do you mean by stealing? You are clearly taking it, okay?"

She's just exchanging her own things for some money, what's wrong with that?

"Fine, you old hag, you've finally admitted it!"

Ye Qingzhu exploded instantly; she was only enduring it for her mother's sake.

But now, they even dare to take things from the house, which is really intolerable in writing.

Enraged, Ye Qingzhu rushed forward, snatched the porcelain from the maid's hand, raised it high, and smashed it all with a loud crack.

Still feeling unsatisfied, Ye Qingzhu smashed the rest of the items to pieces.
