After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Chapter 144 Tell everything you know

There seems to be some kind of bond between her and Zhan Sijing, otherwise why would everything that happens be related to him?

"Leng Feng, you should go and rest. I'll take care of the prince here."

Ye Qingwu walked out of the house and saw that Leng Feng was still guarding there.

"Your Highness, please let me stay here. The Prince is currently unconscious, and I won't feel at ease even if I go back. Moreover, given the strange situation that just happened, I must ensure the safety of both the Prince and you."

Seeing that Leng Feng insisted on this, Ye Qingwu could not say anything more and could only let him do as he pleased.

Ye Qingwu returned to the house and then went into her spatial dimension to see if there was anything suitable that could help Zhan Sijing's situation.

But then they heard a noise.

She was somewhat surprised. Could it be that Zhan Sijing had regained consciousness?

Ye Qingwu then left the space and saw that Zhan Sijing, who had been unconscious, had opened his eyes at some point.

Looking at the cloak on his body, he realized that it was someone else who had put it on him earlier.

Ye Qingwu looked at him and said softly, "Your Highness, how are you feeling now? And what's wrong with that energy in your body?"

She thought Zhan Sijing, as the person directly involved, was the one who could best sense the changes in the gas.

Yet he was able to endure the pain without making a sound.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingwu felt both angry and helpless about Zhan Sijing's actions.

She really didn't know what to do.

"Your Highness, I was wrong."

The first thing Zhan Sijing did upon meeting Ye Qingwu was to come up to her and apologize.

"what?"

"I have concealed the matter of that energy." Zhan Sijing said, raising his hand, and a stream of energy rose from his palm.

Ye Qingwu was shocked by what she saw.

So much so that the way she looked at Zhan Sijing became somewhat incredulous.

"Your Highness, when did this situation begin?"

"Just a while ago."

Zhan Sijing told the truth.

While amazed, Ye Qingwu couldn't help but feel a bit curious, and said to Zhan Sijing, "Then try to see if you can use this energy."

After Ye Qingwu spoke, Zhan Sijing waved the air current in his hand, and the next second, a chair not far away flew out.

The chair, which was directly opposite the door, flew out of the yard with a loud bang, the sound particularly jarring in the quiet of the night.

Seeing this power, Ye Qingwu was even more astonished, knowing that the reason she was able to use talismans and unleash extraordinary power was entirely due to the spiritual energy in the space.

But Zhan Sijing was able to achieve such an effect without relying on this point.

Leng Feng, who was waiting outside, tensed up instantly upon hearing the commotion. He stood closer to the door and asked Ye Qingwu inside, "Your Highness, has something happened?"

"I just saw something fly out of the house."

"It's nothing," Ye Qingwu replied.

"Cold Wind, you may step back."

Leng Feng was shocked when Zhan Sijing's voice came.

Then Zhan Sijing appeared in his line of sight. Leng Feng quickly stepped forward and respectfully bowed in Zhan Sijing's direction, saying, "Your Highness, you're awake!"

Zhan Sijing simply gave a soft "hmm".

"Leng Feng, step back. I have something to say to the Princess."

Seeing that his master had regained consciousness, Leng Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Yes."

After Leng Feng's figure completely disappeared, Zhan Sijing re-entered the room and came to Ye Qingwu's side, "Your Highness just now..."

Unlike his indifference in the face of the cold wind, Zhan Sijing now looked pitiful and a little aggrieved in front of Ye Qingwu.

Seeing Zhan Sijing's change, Ye Qingwu felt a mix of emotions.

"Your Highness, please don't be angry with me anymore. As long as you're not angry, I'll do anything you ask."

Seeing Zhan Sijing's certain expression, Ye Qingwu questioned, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes," Zhan Sijing said firmly.

"Even if it costs me my life, I will not hesitate."

Ye Qingwu interrupted Zhan Sijing's next words.

For some reason, she sensed a treacherous feeling from Zhan Sijing's words—a desire to do anything just to make a beauty smile.

"The matter isn't actually that serious."

"I saved your life with great difficulty. You don't want it, but I do."

Ye Qingwu said to Zhan Sijing.

Hearing these words, Zhan Sijing's eyes lit up, and he looked at Ye Qingwu expectantly, "Your Highness, what do you mean...?"

"It's very simple, but you have to answer a few questions for me before that."

"Did you experience any discomfort when using this power?" Ye Qingwu looked at the person in front of her, her expression turning serious.

"Or rather, has anything unusual happened to you during this period?"

Before Zhan Sijing could answer, Ye Qingwu added, "Your Highness, I don't like being deceived by others, and I don't want anything superficial."

"To me, what you think is good is nonsense."

Many times, even white lies are just nonsense; they're nothing but self-righteousness.

Before taking those actions, did they ever ask the other person if they needed it?

Zhan Sijing nodded, "Your Highness, as long as you ask, I will answer whatever I know without reservation."

Seeing the determination in Zhan Sijing's eyes, it seemed as if he would go through fire and water for her if she said just one more word.

It seems that at certain moments, she exaggerated the situation.

However, facing Zhan Sijing like this, Ye Qingwu's heart softened a bit; it was impossible for her to be completely unmoved.

"At first, I didn't know where this energy flow came from. I only discovered its effect later. However, after using it, I experienced chest pain."

Hearing Zhan Sijing's answer, Ye Qingwu suddenly understood why, even though Zhan Sijing's condition had stabilized many times, the same situation would not last long before an anomaly would suddenly occur.

It turns out that all of this was traceable.

Ye Qingwu sighed softly, "Your Highness, do you know that although that power can play an extraordinary role in certain situations, it can also take your life without you even realizing it?"

"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, the power you used should come from the aura that envelops the Shadowless Poison."

"Did you use this power today as well?"

Under Ye Qingwu's questioning, Zhan Sijing nodded, a hint of shame on his face, "I wanted to use this power to find the whereabouts of the Princess, but I didn't expect..."

"But I never expected it to backfire, Your Highness. Do you know that if I had returned even a little later today, you would have lost your life?"

The gas originated from malevolent energy. Even though it had changed within Zhan Sijing's body, how could Zhan Sijing possibly withstand it?

Moreover, there is the unstable factor of Shadowless Poison.
