After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray

Zheng Bang called her "mother" instead of mother. Concubine Liu certainly understood how much grievance, anxiety and fear were contained in her son's call of mother.

Concubine Liu also squatted down, hugged Zheng Bang tightly, and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have grown up. Don't be afraid. Although your father is decisive in killing, he is definitely not a person who kills indiscriminately. I pretended to be crazy and stupid just to arouse his fatherly love, which can save you from death."

Concubine Liu sighed and said, "Mother knows that your grandfather made a mistake, but they are my father and mother, the ones who gave birth to me and raised me. I don't want them to make the same mistake again, so I wrote a letter to remind them. It's a pity that your grandfather didn't repent, and he ended up like this. I can't blame anyone."

After a pause, Concubine Liu continued, "So you should not blame your father. As the ruler of a country, he worries about the people of the country day and night, but my father took advantage of the ruler. Not only did he not share the ruler's worries, he even thought about rebellion and courted his own death. This is truly unforgivable."

Zheng Bang did not have much affection for his grandfather's family, because women in the deep palace could not always bring their children back to visit their maternal family, and the number of times Zheng Bang saw his grandfather could be counted on ten fingers. But he also understood his mother's feelings, after all, they were his parents, just like his father and mother, and that kind of affection could not be cut off even with a knife.

Zheng Bang said, "Mother, I understand. I will study hard in the future, just like my brother, the crown prince, and master both civil and military strategies. Then, no one will dare to bully me and mother."

Such "treasonous" words made Concubine Liu break out in a cold sweat. She quickly covered her son's mouth and whispered, "My good child, please don't say such nonsense. It's not good to compare with someone else, but with which prince. If someone hears it, you will end up like your grandfather, lying dead in the Meridian Gate."

Zheng Bang pulled Concubine Liu's hand away and said, "I also told this to my father. He didn't scold me, but praised me and said I was making progress."

Concubine Liu thought of Zheng Xian's face, whose moods could never be guessed, and she shuddered. She asked in disbelief, "Are you serious?"

Zheng Bang said proudly, "Really? Why would I lie to my mother?"

Concubine Liu was still worried. It wasn't that she didn't trust Zheng Xian, but she didn't trust the royal family's behavior.

Zheng Bang was the last support of her belief. If her son died, she would not want to live anymore. So she could do more for her son.

While Concubine Liu was pondering, Zheng Bang said pitifully, "Mother, I am tired and hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Concubine Liu then noticed that her son's thigh was wrapped in thick gauze. Her eyes tightened and she asked, "Did His Majesty injure your leg?"

Zheng Bang shook his head and said, "No, it was because I went to the wrong place and was kicked in the back by my fifth brother."

"Zheng Hao? That guy who is evil to the core?" Liu Fei gritted her teeth and spat out the words viciously.

Zheng Bang said "hmm".

Concubine Liu picked up Zheng Bang and gently put him on the bed.

Zheng Bang was already quite heavy, but Concubine Liu picked him up without any effort. It was true that a mother is strong.

Concubine Liu ordered the maid to prepare some food. She sat beside the bed and comforted Zheng Bang, saying, "My child, you look so skinny and your clothes are dirty and old. You must have suffered a lot of grievances. Tell your mother what happened these days."

Zheng Bang lay in his mother's bed. Although the quilt was a little rough, the warmth and the unique body fragrance of his mother made Zheng Bang feel very safe. He hadn't said a few words to Concubine Liu, and before the little palace maid brought him the food, Zheng Bang had already fallen asleep.

Zheng Xian walked out of the door and the guard immediately locked it.

Wei Yi opened the curtain of the sedan chair for Zheng Xian, and Zheng Xian got into it.

The four bearers grunted and carried the sedan chair, turned around and walked towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

After walking for a while, Zheng Xian's voice came from the sedan chair: "Little Weizi, do you have something to ask me?"

Wei Yi shrank his neck, chuckled twice, and said, "Your Majesty, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Concubine Liu is pretending to be crazy and stupid, so why did Your Majesty spare her life?"

Zheng Xian pondered for a while and said, "The man who wants to harm me has woven a net that is too big and has too many fish. Concubine Liu is just a small fish. I have already killed the big fish of the Liu family. I am afraid that man will soon be unable to restrain himself. As for the small fish, Concubine Liu, keep it for now. Maybe it will be useful in the future."

When Wei Yi heard this, he quickly said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

Zheng Xian smiled coldly. Wise? If I were really wise enough, I'm afraid the imperial city would have been a river of blood.

Zheng Xian didn't say anything, and Wei Yi didn't dare to say anything more, and the group returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in silence.

But after Zheng Xian returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he fell ill!

It was not until I came back from the horse training ground the next day that I saw officials of all ranks gathered in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, all with anxious expressions. Only then did I realize that Zheng Xian was ill.

The emperor is seriously ill, which is not a good thing for the Dayu Kingdom.

The crown prince is not yet capable of governing, and too many people are eyeing the throne. Once something happens to Zheng Xian, a storm will come and the country will be shaken.

I saw Gongsun Ming among the ministers, but everyone was blocked outside the gate and was not allowed to go in to visit.

I took a look from a distance and turned away. It wasn't that I didn't want to join in the fun, but I was just too tired.

Wei Chang’s training on me became more and more harsh.

The whole day was spent with almost no rest except for eating. They practiced running, jumping, archery, horse riding, and various weapons, almost training themselves to death.

After the training, I was completely exhausted.

When I returned to Chang'an Palace, Yiping had already prepared food and was waiting for me.

Yiping decided not to go out with me anymore, for she was afraid that meeting a pervert like Zheng Hao again would cause her psychological trauma.

I let her do what she wanted. It would be useless to just wait at the horse training ground anyway. It would be better to stay in the palace. If she got bored, she could go to the Imperial Garden for a stroll.

I was just picking up my bowl of rice when Gongsun Wen walked in from outside the door.

When he saw the food on the table, he smiled and said, "What a blessing! We have food to eat right away."

When Yi Ping saw Gongsun Wen, he hurriedly got a set of bowls and chopsticks and filled a bowl of rice for Gongsun Wen.

Gongsun Wen was not polite and picked up the bowl to eat.

After eating more than half a bowl of rice, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I've been standing outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony for most of the day. I'm hungry and tired. I think I can eat as much as a cow now."

Yiping smiled quietly and said nothing.

I also drank a bowl of rice vigorously, and then I said, "I have been training in the horse training field for a whole day and I didn't complain about being tired. You are standing there and complaining about being tired. How can you be ashamed?"

Gongsun Wen took a piece of sweet and sour fish with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and said: "I went to the palace to teach the prince early in the morning. I didn't have time to eat breakfast. I was hungry for a long time. After school was finally over, I was about to go back to the mansion for lunch, but the eunuch came and said that the emperor was seriously ill and asked the prince to go and take care of him. The emperor was ill, and as a minister, I couldn't help but care about him, so I followed the prince to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I don't know where the news leaked out, and all the civil and military officials in the court rushed to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and waited outside the door earlier than the prince and I. Finally, the prince went in and we were blocked outside the door. Alas. I haven't eaten all day, how can I not be tired?"
