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

The Queen and Zheng Yan were speechless after listening for a long time.

They hoped from the bottom of their hearts that this was a lie, but they were also afraid that it was true. If something really happened to His Majesty, no one would be able to take the responsibility.

After a long while, Zheng Yan said with guilt: "It was my fault for not considering the matter. I made the decision to let them leave the palace without informing my father."

Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "It's not your fault. You never thought that your teacher would team up with Ah Man to deceive you."

Zheng Yan quickly raised his head and said, "What if they are not lying to me and really went to the West Mountain to pay homage to the Queen Mother? Maybe they will be back in a few days."

Zheng Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "I really understand Ah Man's character. She must hate me for not helping her deal with Madam Zhao and for tacitly approving your marriage with Zhao Fangping. Although Ah Man is usually carefree, she is a person who holds grudges. Madam Zhao once plotted to kill her grandmother, and she has never gotten over this hurdle in her heart."

"Fang'er?" Zheng Yan murmured, "Fang'er was the prince that my father chose for me among all the noble ladies in the capital. I believe she must have good character and talent. Why did her mother, Madam Zhao, do such a vicious thing and plot to kill Ah Man's grandmother?"

Zheng Xian glanced at Zheng Yan coldly and said, "The affairs of the harem are no less complicated than the schemes of the ministers in the court. When you become the ruler of a country, you will understand how difficult it is to strike a balance."

Zheng Yan looked at his father, then at his mother, and said, "I am willing to listen to your teachings."

Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "Get up. Little Weizi has been gone for so long and hasn't come back yet. I guess he can't catch up. Hurry up and tell Du Changfeng to come see me. Don't let Ah Man leave the capital."

Zheng Yan quickly stood up, bowed to Zheng Xian, and said, "Yes, my child will obey your order."

After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he turned and left.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around, looked at Zheng Xian's face steadily, and asked, "Is your kindness to Ah Man sincere?"

Zheng Xian's face darkened, and he said in a low voice: "If you can't find Ah Man, I will break your dog legs."

Zheng Yan gritted his teeth and turned away.

The queen looked at her son's fleeing figure and said, "The prince is still young and needs to be taught slowly. He has not experienced the vicissitudes of the court, so how can he understand your painstaking efforts?"

Zheng Xian sighed again and said, "Slowly? Queen, you know how bad my health has become. Without Ah Man's strong luck to suppress my bad luck, I am afraid I won't be able to wait until the day when I can pass on the throne."

When the queen heard this, tears rolled down her cheeks. She took out a white handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't say such unlucky words. Your Majesty will surely live a thousand years, as long as the heaven and the earth."

Zheng Xian smiled, stood up, patted the queen's hand, and said, "I don't want to live a thousand years or ten thousand years. If I can see the prince get married and lead me, I will be satisfied."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he walked out.

After Zheng Xian left, the queen twisted her handkerchief and called out, "Ling Xiao."

Ling Xiao walked out from behind the tent, bowed to the queen, and asked, "What do you want, Queen?"

Ling Xiao replied, "Her Majesty, Gui Gui has closed her door to visitors and no longer shows up everywhere. According to the informant, Gui Gui reads storybooks in the palace every day and occasionally listens to operas. She has no suspicious behavior. As for Yang Guifei, she is still living in the Royal Villa and refuses to return to the palace. I don't know how the Fifth Prince is doing. As for the other concubines..."

We hurried all the way to the main gate of the palace. Since Gongsun Wen was a first-rank official and often went in and out of the palace, the gatekeepers knew him and did not make things difficult for us. We left the palace smoothly.

Gongsun Wen's carriage was parked in the large square in front of the palace gate, but Gongsun Wen did not leave in his carriage. Instead, he hired two carriages, one for him and me, and one for Yi Ping and the others, and left towards the west gate of the imperial city.

I was very confused as to why I had to share a carriage with Gongsun Wen. Gongsun Wen said expressionlessly, "It's boring to ride in a carriage. It's easier to kill time if I have someone to chat with."

Damn it, who wants to argue with you? You are such a jerk, who can win an argument with you? If I quarrel with you, won't I just be angry?

But before I could resist, Gongsun Wen directly asked Ankang to carry me onto the carriage. As soon as the curtain was lowered, the carriage started to roll away. I was so angry that I almost wanted to hit someone, but I was too weak and could only gasp for breath.

As for my little Huihui, I don’t know what Gongsun Wen and Wei Chang said, but Wei Chang rode my horse away and disappeared.

I was a little curious about why Zheng Xian let me go. Before I could ask, Gongsun Wen said, "I didn't go to see your majesty at all. I went directly to your highness the crown prince and said I would take you to the Queen Mother Temple in Xishan to pray for blessings."

After listening to this, I opened my mouth wide and was speechless for a long time, and silently gave Gongsun Wen a thumbs up.

Gongsun Wen ignored my thumbs up and said, "Now I'm afraid that His Majesty already knows that you have left the palace, and he will not let you go. The pursuers will arrive soon, and it will be impossible for us to escape. I think we should find a place to hide first and wait until you get better."

I leaned against the carriage sickly and said, "You have the final say. You will be my big money sponsor from now on, so I will listen to you."

"What does the big money boss mean?" Gongsun Wen asked in confusion.

I tried to suppress my laughter and said, "You heard me wrong. I meant the big golden pig. The big golden pig means I'm very rich. I eat your food and drink your drinks, so of course I have to listen to you."

Gongsun Wen snorted coldly and said, "Don't think I don't know what you have up your sleeve. You have turned a first-rank official like me into a fugitive. I have no money now, but I have my life. If you want it, take it."

When I heard this, I sat up straight and said with shining eyes, "Are you telling the truth?"

Gongsun Wen was startled by the wolfish look in my eyes, and could not help but move back and asked, "What do you want?"

I laughed and said, "Since you have nothing to repay me, then pledge yourself to me. I will treat you well in the future and will never take a concubine. I am willing to be with you for the rest of my life."

Gongsun Wen rolled his eyes, turned his head away and didn't want to pay attention to me, saying: "You are sick physically, and I didn't expect that your brain is also in trouble. If I had known, I would not have shared a car with you, and I would have enjoyed peace and quiet."

The more Gongsun Wen avoided the question, the more I wanted to tease him.

I moved my weak body and crawled to Gongsun Wen's side, saying, "Tell me what kind of woman you like, and I will find her for you."

Gongsun Wen moved to the side again. He had already moved to a corner and had nowhere to retreat.

Gongsun Wen said angrily: "Stay away from me. What kind of woman I like has nothing to do with you. Why are you so enthusiastic?"
