Chapter 121 What is hidden
Why would this happen when everything was fine before?
"Your Highness need not worry about me; it's just a minor incident."
Seeing Ye Qingwu's furrowed brows, Zhan Sijing felt a pang of pity and gently comforted her.
"What's the big deal?" Ye Qingwu's expression suddenly turned serious. Judging from Zhan Sijing's tone, this wasn't the first time something like this had happened.
"Your Highness, didn't you promise me that you would tell me if you felt unwell? Now..."
Ye Qingwu looked at Zhan Sijing, feeling both angry and helpless. How could she not know that he was hiding it from her to avoid making her worry? But this was not a solution.
"Your Highness..." Zhan Sijing lowered his eyes, and seemed a little anxious after calling out softly without receiving a response from Ye Qingwu.
"It's my fault."
"Your Highness, you may punish me as you wish, but could you please stop ignoring me?"
Zhan Sijing's gaze was fixed on him, his tone pleading.
Ye Qingwu was taken aback, and when she met Zhan Sijing's eyes, she was touched.
She admitted that it was difficult for her to remain indifferent in the face of Zhan Sijing.
"Your Highness, I'm not angry. I'm just worried about you."
Ye Qingwu sighed softly and said to Zhan Sijing.
"Although the curse has been broken, the Cold Shadow Poison in your body is no ordinary poison. I don't want anything to happen to you, do you understand?"
She went to great lengths to change Zhan Sijing's ending in the book. Because of this change, what was originally set in stone became variable, and the future became unknown.
She came into this world with no ties whatsoever; if there was anyone she was bound to, it was Zhan Sijing.
Hearing Ye Qingwu's words, Zhan Sijing blushed slightly, as if he were a little embarrassed. "Your Highness is concerned about me."
Ye Qingwu was surprised; why was Zhan Sijing still "shy" at this point?
Although she didn't know why this situation had occurred, it was definitely not a good thing for the moment. Ye Qingwu took out a bottle from her spatial storage, using her sleeve as cover.
She poured a pill from the bottle and handed it to Zhan Sijing, saying, "This pill was specially made for the poison in your body. Taking it will help suppress it."
The Cold Shadow Poison that Zhan Sijing was poisoned with was not as simple as ordinary poison. It also contained a special power and a ball of energy that enveloped the poison. To cure it, it was not as simple as an ordinary antidote.
Her pills, both in their preparation and the medicinal ingredients used, all came from her space. She also added spiritual spring water and the unique spiritual energy of the space. Without these effects, it would be difficult for them to work against Zhan Sijing's poison.
"it is good."
Zhan Sijing took the pills from Ye Qingwu and said softly.
"Your Highness, is there something you're hiding from me?" Ye Qingwu looked at Zhan Sijing, sensing that something was amiss.
After saying that, she added, "For example, have you experienced any unusual symptoms recently?"
The airflow was strange in itself; anyone else would have been unconscious long ago, but Zhan Sijing only felt pain. Coupled with what he had just said to her, it was hard for Ye Qingwu not to think about other possibilities.
Zhan Sijing paused for a moment, and a flicker appeared in his eyes as he looked at Ye Qingwu.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, we have arrived at the Duke's Mansion."
Just as Zhan Sijing hesitated, the sound of cold wind came from outside.
Ye Qingwu was interrupted by the sound of the cold wind and looked at Zhan Sijing again. Was it just her imagination? Why did she feel that Zhan Sijing seemed to have something on his mind?
"If Your Highness doesn't want to talk about it, then so be it. No matter what you do, Your Highness, ensuring your own safety is the top priority."
Ye Qingwu spoke earnestly to Zhan Sijing. Although she was worried about Zhan Sijing's safety, she was not yet at the point of digging up secrets that others did not want to tell.
She got off the carriage first. Outside the Duke's mansion, the steward, having already received the news that the guards he had sent out had disappeared, was already waiting there. When he saw Ye Qingwu come out of the carriage, he quickly stepped forward to greet her.
"This humble servant greets the Regent's Wife."
The steward had barely finished speaking when Zhan Sijing emerged from the carriage, his eyes widening in surprise. "Your Highness... Regent, you've arrived too."
"How is Ye Yuanfeng doing?"
Since she had chosen to come, Ye Qingwu needed to find out what had happened, especially regarding Ye Yuanfeng.
Because of Zhan Sijing's appearance, the butler became even more respectful towards Ye Qingwu.
"Your Highness, the Second Young Master woke up several hours ago, but the doors and windows of his room are tightly closed, and black smoke is emanating from it."
"Black aura?" Ye Qingwu hesitated, then asked the butler, "Has Ye Xuan done anything about it? Or sent someone to break down the door?"
"Of course the master did do that." Ye Xuan said with a helpless expression.
"But no matter whether they were servants or guards in the mansion, as soon as they got close to the second young master's courtyard, they all fell to the ground before they could even break down the door. When the master realized that something was wrong, he didn't dare to send anyone else."
The housekeeper briefly recounted what had happened to Ye Qingwu.
Hearing this, Ye Qingwu seemed to be deep in thought. Based on her previous understanding of evil energy, anyone who came into contact with it would become its puppet, but the steward's description clearly showed that things were not like that.
Especially when she entered the Duke's mansion, she found that everyone had a trace of black energy on them, but there were no other abnormalities. This alone was enough to make people feel strange.
It seems this matter is not as simple as she thought.
Ye Qingwu thought for a moment and then looked at Zhan Sijing beside her, with Leng Feng following closely behind.
Leng Feng had the talisman she had given her, so she wasn't worried about the black energy. However, Zhan Sijing was different. He had a special constitution and the Cold Shadow Poison. If he encountered a black shadow like the one that appeared that night, the talisman wouldn't be very effective against him.
"You will follow me from now on and do not act on your own."
Ye Qingwu addressed Zhan Sijing and Leng Feng, then, worried about any unexpected events, she looked at Leng Feng and asked, "Did you bring those talismans with you?"
"Have."
Leng Feng quickly replied, "Your Highness, rest assured, I have never let these things out of my sight for a moment."
Whether it was a misperception or not, Leng Feng felt a chill as soon as he finished speaking.
"Your Highness, what about me?"
Zhan Sijing looked at Ye Qingwu with a hint of resentment, feeling somewhat disappointed that she wasn't asking him at this moment.
"The same goes for Your Highness."
Seeing this, Ye Qingwu stepped forward and said in a tone that only Zhan Sijing could hear, "Besides, I'm here too."
With her by his side, she would never allow any accident to happen to Zhan Sijing.
"Mm." Zhan Sijing nodded slightly, and perhaps because of Ye Qingwu's words, the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.
Does this prove that in Ye Qingwu's heart, she is a special existence?
As they were talking, the butler led them to the outside of Ye Yuanfeng's courtyard.
