After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Chapter 154 It Should Disappear

Inside the Regent's Palace.

Ye Qingwu, who was in the space, suddenly noticed the unusual movement of the bead.

She remembered that the last time the beads had a problem was in the village. Could it be that the evil spirit has reappeared?

Thinking of this, Ye Qingwu took the bead and left the space. As soon as she stepped out of the courtyard, she saw Leng Feng rushing over.

"Your Highness, the guards patrolling the capital just reported that a large amount of black gas has been found gathering in the east of the capital, which is very similar to the situation we encountered in the village."

Ye Qingwu nodded. It seemed that the unusual phenomenon of the bead was due to the black mist that had appeared.

She has to go.

"Where is the prince?"

Halfway there, Ye Qingwu suddenly thought of Zhan Sijing, especially whether the mysterious power within him would be affected by the appearance of the baleful aura.

"The prince has gone to the palace."

Ye Qingwu didn't think much of the answer. At least the palace was different from other places, and it could offset some of the damage from the evil energy.

"Leng Feng, you stay at the Prince's residence, I'm going there."

As soon as Ye Qingwu finished speaking, she was about to walk out of the Prince's mansion. Leng Feng immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly followed her. "Your Highness, the reason why the Prince didn't let his subordinates follow you is to protect your safety."

"It is too dangerous for you to go alone. Please allow me to accompany you."

"Then hurry up and catch up."

Hearing Leng Feng say this, Ye Qingwu didn't linger any longer. Even without anyone to guide her, she could immediately pinpoint the source of the black energy based solely on the bead's directions.

When Ye Qingwu arrived with Leng Feng, a large crowd had already gathered around the courtyard, including not only onlookers but also government officials.

"Leng Feng, have the government officials evacuate these people."

Ye Qingwu commanded, "There is only one possibility for this level of black energy: the user has suffered a backlash."

If this continues, the black energy will go completely berserk and attack people in the surrounding area, which will inevitably cause some casualties.

As Leng Feng went to have the officials disperse the people, Ye Qingwu had already headed towards the courtyard.

"Aunt, it's dangerous inside."

A hurried voice came from behind her, and a young man rushed forward, trying to stop her from moving forward.

"Something always needs to be solved by someone."

After Ye Qingwu finished speaking, she walked into the courtyard. When she came outside earlier, she vaguely felt that this place was somewhat familiar, as if she had been here before. But when she entered the courtyard and saw the people inside, Ye Qingwu realized it.

This was Jiang Wenjin's original courtyard, and at this moment Jiang Wenjin was lying on the ground covered in wounds, while a woman was bound by black energy in mid-air.

An old woman lay motionless on the ground, her condition unknown. Chun'er, trembling with fear, hid in the corner. When she saw someone enter, her eyes involuntarily turned towards that spot.

When I saw the person coming, it was as if I saw hope.

"Your Highness, please, I beg you to intervene and quell this."

Chun'er shouted in Ye Qingwu's direction.

These words seemed to have completely enraged Ye Qingzhu, and her scarlet eyes became even more terrifying.

"Chun'er, you, as my maid, actually dare to ask that vile woman Ye Qingwu for help. Since that's the case, then neither of you should live."

As Ye Qingzhu attempted to attack Chun'er with black energy, Ye Qingwu silently chanted an incantation, and an invisible force formed a barrier in front of Chun'er.

"Ye Qingzhu, I didn't expect you to still not know how to restrain yourself."

Ye Qingwu's gaze was icy. Strangely, this time, the black mist accompanying Ye Qingzhu was not the same as before. It was as if Ye Qingzhu had forcibly activated this power through a contract.

However, while this power was devouring the people around him, it was also constantly consuming Ye Qingzhu herself.

The aura of fortune that originally belonged to her rebirth disappeared from her body.

Ye Qingwu narrowed her eyes slightly.

It's true what they say, you reap what you sow.

Now that the luck has disappeared, the peaceful coexistence that Ye Qingzhu has enjoyed for so long has also vanished.

Ye Qingzhu tried to strike Ye Qingwu, but no matter what she did, the power vanished in an instant just before it was about to hit Ye Qingwu.

"How is this possible, Ye Qingwu? How could you possibly possess such power?"

After facing failure after failure, Ye Qingzhu felt incredulous.

"Ye Qingzhu, it's not too late to stop now."

Ye Qingwu's expression was icy. "This is your last chance."

"Stop? Absolutely not!"

Ye Qingzhu burst into laughter, accompanied by surging black energy around her.

"If that's the case, then you'd better lie down!"

Ye Qingwu took out a talisman from her spatial storage. With the combined power of spiritual energy and the bead, the black energy sensed the danger and began to flee in all directions.

However, when Ye Qingwu entered, he had already set up a small array around the area.

The black mist, enveloped by the needle technique, vanished completely, and the woman who had been bound fell to the ground with a thud, completely unconscious.

Ye Qingzhu's eyes widened, never expecting that the powerful force she thought she possessed would be completely ineffective against Ye Qingwu.

Until her last bit of strength disappeared, Ye Qingzhu suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, feeling completely powerless.

She glared at Ye Qingwu with hatred, "Ye Qingwu, what did you do to me?"

"This is the Imperial Aunt..."

Zhan Chenyi and Leng Feng entered almost at the same time.

"Have someone tie her up with this rope."

Ye Qingwu took out a bundle of rope from her sleeve and handed it to Zhan Chenyi.

Leng Feng was shocked by what he saw.

Each time, she watched as the princess took things out of her sleeve, wondering just how many things she had hidden inside.

There were ropes included.

After binding her, Ye Qingwu came to Ye Qingzhu, cut her finger, and let the blood drip onto Ye Qingzhu's brow.

In an instant, the black mist that had disappeared reappeared.

"princess!"

When Leng Feng saw this scene, he instinctively rushed forward, but was stopped by Ye Qingwu.

"do not come."

Bound up, Ye Qingzhu seemed to sense something and was in great pain.

"Ah, Ye Qingwu, what exactly did you do to me?"

"I will sever that contract for you."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingzhu's face instantly showed a look of horror.

"No! Ye Qingwu, you can't do this."

Without that power, wouldn't all the things she had done before be in vain?

With ropes binding her, Ye Qingzhu was unable to resist at all.

A cloud of black mist flew out from Ye Qingzhu's body.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qingwu smiled and said, "They've finally shown up."

However, this time they weren't as lucky as before.

"Ye Qingzhu, you idiot! Who gave you permission to use my power without authorization!"

When the black mist felt its power almost completely exhausted by Ye Qingzhu, it was furious. It had already been severely injured in the village, and now it had completely lost its ability to resist because of Ye Qingzhu.

"Now is the time for you to disappear!"
