As for Concubine Liu, she was imprisoned in the clan house together with the empress dowager, and would be executed together on a certain day.

After experiencing the palace coup, the seventh prince Zheng Bang became a little crazy and always went to the cold palace to find his mother in the middle of the night. Zheng Xian felt sorry for him and kept him in the Taihe Hall, saying that he was taking care of him, but in fact he imprisoned him.

Fortunately, we all lived in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Yiping often cooked some food and brought it to Zheng Bang. Zheng Bang was normal only when he saw Yiping. As soon as Yiping left, he became crazy again.

Zheng Xian had no choice but to let Yi Ping visit Zheng Bang more often, and he also rewarded Yi Ping with a lot of good things.

Yi Ping, a money-loving man, almost fainted with joy because he had his own property for the first time.

From the day she received the reward, Yiping said it dozens of times every day by my bed. If I hadn't been unconscious, I would have rolled my eyes at her.

During the day, Yiping would bring Zheng Bang back, cook him delicious food, and let him study with Zhao Jinping, looking like nothing had happened. But at night, when he was about to send him back to the palace where he lived, he would make all kinds of noises. Yiping also regretted "letting the wolf into the house", but for the sake of the huge reward, he had to swallow the broken silver teeth and blood.

When I woke up that day, I saw Yiping and Yingchun sitting beside my bed, talking and laughing in low voices while sewing shoe soles.

Zheng Bang held a big peach and sat next to Ankang, listening to Ankang telling him stories.

That’s right, when Yiping didn’t have time to take care of Zheng Bang, he usually left Zheng Bang to Ankang.

Ankang didn't dare to stay too far away from me, nor did he dare to disobey the Third Miss, so he had to keep Zheng Bang by his side. When Zheng Bang was too noisy, only food could calm him down.

So the only way to get Zheng Bang to sit still and not make any noise is to give him food.

Later, Ankang was bored and took some miscellaneous books to read. Zheng Bang also wanted to read, but he couldn't understand many words, so he kept clamoring. Ankang had no choice but to read to him. In this way, Zheng Bang could calm down and Ankang could read, which was the best of both worlds.

I slept for too long, and even when I woke up, my eyes were half open.

After a long time, no one noticed that I woke up, so I shouted with great effort: "I want to drink water."

The first person to react to what I said was Zheng Bang.

As soon as I finished speaking, Zheng Bang threw away the peach in his hand, jumped up to me and shouted, "Ah Man, wake up! Ah Man, wake up!"

Yi Ping was afraid that Zheng Bang would disturb my sleep, so he quickly pulled Zheng Bang and whispered, "Seventh Prince, don't shout so loudly, you will wake up my second brother."

Zheng Bang pulled my eyelids hard and said, "A-Man, wake up. I just heard him talking."

Yiping and Yingchun were frightened when they saw Zheng Bang pulling my eyelids. They dropped the soles of their shoes and threw them on the ground, then hurried to pull Zheng Bang.

Zheng Bang yelled, "Ah Man, wake up! Ah Man, wake up!"

Ankang also hurried over to help, picked up Zheng Bang and wanted to walk out.

I struggled to open my eyelids and said breathlessly, "Your Highness is right. I am really awake."

Now Ankang heard it clearly, and without even putting down Zheng Bang in his hand, he rushed to my bedside to see me.

Yi Ping and Ying Chun saw that I really opened my eyes, and they couldn't help but glance at Zheng Bang who was still clinging to An Kang. Yi Ping said, "Could it be that the Seventh Prince has damaged my second brother's eyelids? They can't even open anymore."

Ankang quickly said, "No, I also heard the second young master talking just now."

Zheng Bang clapped his hands proudly and said, "Great, Ah Man is awake, someone will take me out to play."

I blinked, took a breath and said, "I'm really awake, I want to drink some water."

Ankang quickly put Zheng Bang down and said helplessly, "Little man, I, I'll go get some water."

Yiping touched my face and said, "It seems not so cold anymore. Hurry up, tell my eldest brother that my second brother has woken up."

Yingchun nodded quickly, turned around and ran to inform Zhao Jinping.

Not long after I woke up, Zheng Xian hurried over.

Zheng Xian now intends to delegate power and has handed over many important tasks to Zheng Yan.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still purging rebels during this period, Zheng Xian would have probably passed the burden to Zheng Yan and lived out his life as a free and easy king.

When Zheng Xian rushed into the room, he saw me half lying on the bed and Yingchun was feeding me some rice soup.

Zheng Xian saw that my face was not as pale and ugly as when I woke up last time, and said happily: "Aman, you look much better. Have you sent for Doctor Sun to see you?"

Ankang quickly replied: "Your Majesty, I have sent someone to summon him."

Zheng Xian nodded and said, "Very good."

Soon, Doctor Sun also rushed over. After examining me, he finally said with a smile: "Ah Man's pulse is much stronger this time when he woke up than last time. It seems that the decoctions and medicines you took during this period were not in vain."

Zheng Xian said coldly, "If your medicine doesn't work anymore, I'm going to dismiss you."

Doctor Sun rolled his eyes secretly and muttered quietly: "I prescribed a decoction, not a miracle drug, how can it work immediately?"

But he didn't dare to say it loudly, for fear that Zheng Xian would hear it and expose his past.

After Doctor Sun left, Zheng Xian handed me Hua Wushuang's letter, and Ankang took it for me.

Zheng Xian sat on the stool where Yi Ping had sat just now, looked at me and said, "I heard from Wushuang that you wanted to go to the Southern Qin Kingdom for a trip?"

I think I mentioned this, but I was in a coma for so long that I forgot about it.

But I still nodded. I had been trapped in this city for too long and I was really eager to go out for a walk.

Zheng Xian smiled and said, "After I hand over all the matters in my hands to the prince, I will take you there."

Zheng Bang, who had been hiding outside the door, stuck his head in and said loudly, "I want to go too."

Zheng Xian turned around and glared at Zheng Bang, who quickly retracted his head but still shouted, "I'm going."

Zheng Xian said helplessly: "Xiao Qi is too noisy, so let's send him back to his own palace so as not to affect your rest."

I shook my head and said, "This palace is his home, but there are some places he doesn't like. And here, he happens to like it. Why should we send him away?"

Zheng Xian didn't say anything after hearing this, but Zheng Bang, who was hiding outside the door, suddenly had red eyes. He secretly turned around and looked at the sky without saying a word.

Zheng Xian sighed and said, "I have been very busy with official duties recently. In addition to eliminating the remaining thieves, I have also been electing ministers in the court. In the spring, there will be an imperial examination. I often lament that I cannot do everything. Fortunately, I have Ah Man, otherwise Xiao Qi would be so crazy that I would not even recognize him."

I smiled and said, "I don't dare to take credit for this. It's my third sister who accompanies him every day and makes delicious food for him. If you want to thank someone, then thank my third sister."

Zheng Xian laughed and said, "Ah Man is right. The Third Miss has indeed made an invaluable contribution. I will definitely reward her well."
