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

Yiping’s best dish is tofu.

Fried, deep-fried, boiled, stewed, one kind of tofu can be cooked in dozens of ways.

Today she was making a dish of crab roe tofu. The catering department sent a basket of crabs. At this time of year, the crab roe was yellow and plump, fresh and delicious, and Yiping immediately thought of using it to make tofu.

This authentic crab roe tofu has the fresh fragrance of beans and the sweetness of crab meat. It is fresh, tender and a little spicy. I can't stop eating it.

I stuffed a big spoonful of crab roe tofu into my mouth, and it was so hot that I immediately opened my mouth to spit out air.

Gongsun Wen said with disdain: "It's rude and unbearable to look at."

I swallowed the tofu with great difficulty, stuck out my scalding red tongue, and said, "This is how I eat. If you don't like it, you can go back home and eat."

Seeing that we were about to quarrel again, Yi Ping quickly said to Gongsun Wen, "Master Gongsun, these young pea leaves are fragrant and delicious. They taste good. You should try them."

Gongsun Wen rolled his eyes at me and said, "I'm eating the food prepared by Miss Zhao San. What does it have to do with you?"

"You!" I was about to run away when Zheng Yan actually walked in from outside the door!

Seeing Zheng Yan, everyone stood up and saluted.

When Zheng Yan saw the food on the table, his eyes lit up and he strode over, forgetting even to say hello.

Yi Ping was very considerate and ran to get another set of bowls and chopsticks and handed them to Zheng Yan.

Zheng Yan took his bowl and chopsticks and sat down without hesitation. He took a few big mouthfuls of food and said, "I'm starving to death."

Zheng Yan didn't ask everyone to sit down, so no one dared to sit down.

Yiping was afraid that there wouldn't be enough food, so he quietly went to the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes.

Gongsun Wen and I stood there, swallowing our saliva while watching Zheng Yan eat with relish.

After eating a bowl of rice, Zheng Yan touched his stomach and felt like he was alive again.

Only then did he realize that Gongsun Wen and I were still standing, and he quickly said, "Teacher and Ah Man, please sit down. You're welcome."

Gongsun Wen and I then sat up, picked up our bowls and started eating.

After eating for a while, Gongsun Wen couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, how is His Majesty's condition?"

Zheng Yan's expression darkened and he said, "It's not optimistic."

Gongsun Wen silently put down his bowl, stared at Zheng Yan and asked, "What's the reason?"

Zheng Yan's eyes became dark and his expression turned cold. He said, "Last night, my father went to the cold palace to see Concubine Liu. When he came back, he started vomiting blood and then had a high fever. All the doctors were summoned to the palace in the middle of the night. Doctor Sun said it was caused by the poison. But the poison in my father's body had been suppressed very well. Why did it suddenly break out? Doctor Sun estimated that my father must have come into contact with something he shouldn't have."

I couldn't help but stop eating when I heard it.

The scene of Zheng Xian vomiting blood last time was still vivid in my mind. His pale face and strange purple-red lips were shocking.

Gongsun Wen's hands were shaking slightly, and he felt that something was wrong.

Gongsun Wen asked: "Your Majesty, do you suspect Concubine Liu's actions?"

Zheng Yan shook his head and said, "Father didn't say anything. But Father issued one secret decree after another, and from today on, the whole city is under martial law and a curfew is imposed. The west, north, and south gates are closed, and only the east gate is open, and people are only allowed to leave but not come in."

Gongsun Wen's heart sank when he heard this.

The Imperial City is the most prosperous city in Dayu Kingdom, with people coming and going, and it is extremely bustling. The four major city gates are rarely closed, but now three are closed and only one is left, and people are only allowed to leave but not come in. It seems that a storm is about to come to the city.

I emptied the rice in the bowl, wiped my mouth with my sleeve, and said, "Can I go see His Majesty?"

Zheng Yan shook his head and said, "Father refuses to see any outsiders. Even when the Empress Dowager and Mother came, Your Majesty refused to see them because he was afraid of the spread of the disease."

I looked at Zheng Yan and said with certainty: "His Majesty will definitely meet me. Take me to see him."

Zheng Yan stared at me for a long time, frowned and said, "I think you look familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you before."

At this time, Zheng Yan was still thinking about this problem.

I stood up unhappily and walked out.

Gongsun Ning grabbed my sleeve and asked, "Where are you going?"

I sighed and said, "Of course I will go to see His Majesty. Although I don't think my medical skills are very good, I still want to do my best."

Gongsun Ning frowned and said, "Don't go. The imperial physician is here, so you don't need to worry. If you go now, no matter the result is good or bad, you will not end up well."

Of course I understand Gongsun Ning's worries. If I cure Zheng Xian, I certainly cannot claim it as my credit to the outside world. If Zheng Xian dies, all the blame will be put on me, and I will definitely be the first to die.

I shook off Gongsun Ning's hand and said sternly, "Your Majesty has saved me time and again. My life belongs to him. He can take it if he wants."

I said, and turned and left.

Zheng Yan and Gongsun Ning looked at each other, then quickly got up and chased after him.

Yiping had just cooked two dishes and was about to bring them over, but when she saw that we had all left, she said "Oh", but the three of us ignored her.

Yi Ping pouted and said, "You are in such a hurry. If you don't want to eat, I will give it to Uncle Wei."

After Yi Ping finished speaking, he brought it to Wei Chang's house. At this time, Wei Chang was like a ghost, with half of his body hidden in the darkness beside the door and the other half leaning on the threshold. When he saw Yi Ping coming, he hurried to greet him.

Yi Ping was startled when he saw Wei Chang suddenly appear, then he said happily: "Uncle Wei, I just cooked two dishes. They have all left, so I thought of giving them to you to go with your wine."

Wei Chang took it, smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss San."

Yi Ping clapped his hands and said, "Uncle Wei, you're welcome."

Just as Yi Ping was about to leave, Wei Chang suddenly asked, "Miss San, do you know when your father returned to Beijing to report on his work in previous years?"

Yi Ping tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "I don't know. I've only been in the capital for a short time. I used to live in Yongcheng."

Yi Ping paused, then continued, "My second sister told me not to get involved in the affairs of the General's Mansion, so when he returns to Beijing is none of my business."

After saying this, Yiping jumped and ran away.

Wei Chang looked at the two dishes in his hands, one was fried peanuts, the other was stir-fried pork slices with peppers. It just so happened that he hadn't had dinner yet, so he would just make do with it.

Wei Chang brought the dishes into the house and closed the door, leaving everyone outside in darkness.

Although the Chang'an Hall is integrated with the main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it still takes more than ten minutes to walk to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In front of the main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers had already dispersed, but some of them were still unwilling to give up and left some servants in front of the main gate waiting for news.

At this time, there were more guards in front of the main gate of the hall, and they were more strict. There was a layer inside and a layer outside, surrounding the main hall like an iron barrel. Not even a mosquito could fly in.

Fortunately, we were with the prince, so the guards did not question us too much or make things difficult for us, and quickly let us in.

Without the need for a servant to lead the way, Zheng Yan led us all the way to the door of the inner room.

At this time, there were more than a dozen imperial doctors standing outside the inner room, gathered in a group and discussing in low voices. When they saw the prince, they hurried forward to pay their respects.

Zheng Yan looked around but didn't see Doctor Sun. He couldn't help but ask, "Where is Doctor Sun?"

At this time, an imperial physician stepped forward and replied, "Your Highness, Imperial Physician Sun just said in a hurry that he had to go back to the Imperial Hospital to check the information. He has been gone for almost half an hour."

Zheng Yan frowned and asked, "How is Father doing now?"
