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

The letter addressed to "Aman" was definitely from Zhao Jinping.

I took the letter and found it was still written in a sloppy manner, but at least I could understand a small part of it.

In the letter, Jinping complained that we hadn't visited him for so long, asking if we had forgotten him. He spent his days in the Jokhang Temple as if he were dying. Every day he ate either vegetables or tofu, and the rice was brown rice, which he couldn't even swallow. What he hated most in his life was eating tofu. Now he had to eat tofu every day and couldn't eat any meat. He was almost sick from craving for it.

He also asked Yiping and I to visit him on the Mid-Autumn Festival. We must go and bring him meat, lots of meat, otherwise he would ignore us.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I saw it. Yi Ping also guessed that it was a letter from Big Brother to us, and couldn't help asking: "What did Big Brother write to make you laugh like this?"

I told Yiping the contents of the letter. Yiping rolled his eyes and said, "Eat, eat, eat. All he does is eat. He doesn't even mention how well he's learned."

I took out the second letter and unexpectedly it was from Ankang.

I mentioned to Gongsun Wen that I wanted to send Ankang to take care of my eldest brother, and I didn't expect that Gongsun Wen actually sent Ankang over.

Ankang's handwriting is much better than Jinping's. Every stroke is neat and tidy. Although it cannot compare with calligraphy experts, it at least makes people feel happy when reading it. Unlike Jinping's handwriting, which looks like chicken claws crawling across the ground, making people doubt their lives after reading it.

Ankang told me not to worry in the letter, he would take good care of Jinping and not let him slack off. But Jinping was really playful, often running to the back hills to pick wild fruits, take bird eggs, catch rabbits, and fish in the river before finishing his homework. He would play for most of the day and didn't want to go back even after dark. Sometimes I couldn't do anything about him.

At the end of the letter, he said he missed us and hoped to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with us. He would make the best jujube paste cakes and grilled beef skewers for me.

This ordinary letter made my eyes wet.

It turns out that being remembered by others is such a warm thing.

Yiping saw my eyes were filled with tears, and came over to ask, "Who sent you this letter?"

I stuffed the letter back into the envelope, handed both letters to Yiping, and said, "This one is from Ankang. He also hopes that we can celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival together, and said that he would make me some jujube paste cakes and grilled beef skewers."

Yi Ping thought about the letter and said, "Why don't we go to the Jokhang Temple on the Mid-Autumn Festival to visit my elder brother and Ankang? I miss them too."

"Okay, I'll ask Master for a day off on the Mid-Autumn Festival and take you to the Jokhang Temple to see your elder brother. If he really can't adapt there, you can just take him back to the Taifu Mansion. Kang An said that he goes looking for food every day and he looks very hungry." I said as I drank the chicken soup in big gulps. It took a lot of time, so I had to eat breakfast quickly and go to the training ground.

At this time, Wei Chang was already standing outside the house, and his face showed displeasure when he saw me moving so slowly.

I put down my bowl and said, "I have to go to the riding grounds. Please look after Gongsun Wen."

Yi Ping quickly cleared the dishes and said, "Master Gongsun went out early in the morning. I wanted to call him for breakfast, but I didn't see him in the side room. The doorman said he went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

I was stunned for a moment. Going to the Hall of Supreme Harmony so early, could something have happened to Zheng Xian?

I quickly asked, "You got up early, did you hear the death knell?"

"What is the death knell?" Yiping asked in confusion.

I said, “It’s the sound of the bell.”

Yi Ping shook his head and said, "No, it has always been quiet."

I thought to myself, when the funeral bell rings, it has to be struck 30,000 times, and these 30,000 times have to last for several days. I didn't hear the bell, which meant that Zheng Xian was not dead yet, and Gongsun Wen just went to take care of him.

The emperor was ill, and even if the ministers could not enter, they had to stand guard at the door to show their loyalty. As a high-ranking official, Gongsun Wen naturally had to set an example.

No wonder he left in such a hurry without even having breakfast.

I touched Yiping's head, smiled, and said, "It's okay." I picked up the food basket and walked out.

Wei Chang said with a gloomy face outside: "I was late for half an hour. I will make up for it today."

I thought about it and said, "I don't want to go to the training ground today. I want to go to the main hall to accompany His Majesty."

When Wei Chang heard this, he pulled me by the collar and dragged me out without saying a word, saying, "You are not a doctor, nor a guard, what's the point of you guarding here? Don't think about being lazy and not practicing."

He pulled me backwards, and my neck was in pain. I quickly shouted, "I'm not going anymore. Let go."

But Wei Chang still dragged me to the gate before letting me go. He snorted coldly, and his eyes were fierce enough to kill people.

This life is so depressing. I'm thirty years old and I have to be dragged around by someone who is younger than me. It's embarrassing just to think about it.

But I didn't dare to resist. I couldn't beat him back, and I couldn't scold him back. I could only endure it.

After leaving Chang'an Palace, I found that there were many more patrolling guards, one team after another, running past me continuously.

Looking at these guards, I couldn't help but get nervous, as if a storm was about to come.

Wei Chang pushed me and said, "What are you looking at? Let's go."

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Don't push me, I'm not a prisoner."

As soon as I finished saying this, the guards who were running towards us suddenly stopped, turned around and trotted towards us. The one in front shouted at us, "Show us your tokens!"

I touched my neck and my face changed. I forgot to bring my token.

My behavior was completely seen by the guard. His face suddenly turned cold and he thrust his spear at me. I stepped back a few steps, looking at the gleaming silver spear head that was less than an inch away from me, and stabbed, "Master, do you have the token?"

At this time, Wei Chang was also surrounded by several guards. If he couldn't produce the token, we might be pierced into pieces by spears immediately.

Wei Chang slowly took out a black token from his arms and handed it to the guard.

After the guard took it and looked at it carefully, he returned the token to Wei Chang and said coldly, "Hang the token in a conspicuous place so that it can be checked."

Wei Chang responded "yes" obediently.

Only after the guards left did Wei Chang hang the token around his waist.

I looked at the black token and laughed with my hands covering my mouth.

Wei Chang said unhappily, "If you want to laugh, just laugh. Being sneaky is annoying."

I finally couldn't help laughing so hard that my stomach hurt. I held my stomach and said, "Yours is actually a black iron brand, hahahaha."

Wei Chang rolled his eyes at me and said, "I am just an ordinary guard. What's so funny about the black iron badge?"

Wei Chang ignored me and walked away.

I still thought it wasn't exciting enough, so I chased him and said, "Mine is a gold medal, according to the level, shouldn't you call me Lord Zhao?"

Wei Chang sneered and said, "Don't forget that you are still my disciple, Master Zhao!"

It was clearly a threat that if I continued to act recklessly, I would be in trouble.

But when I thought about how I could use my level to suppress him in the future, I wanted to laugh out loud.

We walked and talked to each other all the way until we reached the main hall, and sure enough, we saw a large group of ministers sitting in a circle in front of the main hall door.

Yes, these ministers have learned their lesson. They all moved a chair over and sat comfortably, unlike yesterday when they stood until their legs were about to break.
