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

I thanked him quickly as if I had just woken up from a dream.

At this time, Zheng Xian stood up and said, "I have nothing to do today, so I will accompany them to see Duoyuan."

I only found out later that Duoyu is Zheng Bang’s pen name.

Seeing Zheng Xian was about to leave, the Queen deliberately said, "Your Majesty, don't you want to play chess?"

Zheng Xian laughed again and said, "No more, no more. It's no fun to win too much."

The queen deliberately scolded: "Your Majesty is a bully."

Zheng Xian laughed again and led the way.

Yiping and I bowed to the queen and left behind Zheng Xian.

After we left, the Queen looked at the food on the coffee table, chuckled, and said, "Put it all away."

The palace maids hurried forward and cleared all the plates off the table.

Zheng Xian didn't walk very fast, and it was obvious that he was waiting for us.

I walked quickly to his side and asked, "I heard from Yiping that you took Ankang away. Where did you take him?"

Zheng Xian turned his head and looked at me, with anger in his eyes, and said, "You have been here for so long and have never asked me about my health. Instead, you asked me where I took your people. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

I was so confused by the scolding that I said, "Isn't your vitality slowly recovering? I won't ask if you are fine."

"My vitality is slowly recovering?" Zheng Xian seemed to feel better immediately after hearing this. A long-lost smile appeared on his face. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "It seems that I was overthinking. You can see it all."

Zheng Xian's temper became more and more weird, and everyone was afraid of him, so I couldn't provoke him at will.

I nodded quickly and said, "Yes, your vitality is recovering. As long as you don't get angry easily and rest peacefully, your health will get better and better."

Zheng Xian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Fortunately, I have Ah Man. As soon as I saw you, I felt much more relaxed."

I sneered in my heart. If I continue to believe you, I will be a hopeless fool.

After walking a few steps, Zheng Xian continued, "Ankang has an important task for him, so he can't go back to serve you."

"Important task? What task?" I asked quickly.

There were also eunuchs sweeping snow on the path in Jinxiu Garden. When they saw Zheng Xian, they quickly put down their brooms and knelt down to salute. Zheng Xian ignored them and continued walking forward, saying, "This is a secret of the court. I cannot tell you."

"Secrets of the court? Ankang is just a servant, how could he be involved in the secrets of the court?" I asked in disbelief.

Zheng Xian rolled his eyes at me and said, "It's a secret, so I can't tell you. If you feel that there aren't enough people to serve you, I can arrange for more people to go over there. Ankang can't go back anyway."

I panicked and suddenly had a bad feeling. I quickly walked up to Zheng Xian and asked excitedly, "Did you kill him?"

Zheng Xian glanced at the eunuch who was kneeling on the snow and shivering, and said with a little displeasure: "A'man is becoming more and more ignorant of the rules. I said I can't tell you, so don't ask."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he pushed me away and walked away.

Zheng Xian pushed me and I almost fell on the snow, but fortunately Yiping was quick to pull me up.

Yi Ping said angrily, "You silly fool, His Majesty said he couldn't tell you, so stop asking. If you keep asking, His Majesty will be annoyed."

I said a little uneasily: "But I am really a little worried about Ankang."

Yi Ping said, "Your Majesty and Ankang talked for a long time in the room that day. After they came out, Ankang looked for you everywhere. When he found out that you were not at home, he followed His Majesty with a sad face."

I quickly asked, "Did he leave any words for me the day he left?"

Yi Ping shook his head and was about to speak when Zheng Xian came up to him and said unhappily, "Why don't you leave?"

Yiping and I had no choice but to chase after him.

Jinxiu Garden is very large, several times larger than an ordinary family's house. Fortunately, the side hall where Zheng Bang was recuperating was not far from the main hall. Under the guidance of the palace maid, we quickly arrived at the gate of the side hall.

Zheng Xian walked straight in without any need for permission.

We followed Zheng Xian in.

Before he even entered the room, he could already smell a strong smell of medicine. There were many servants in the palace, coming in and out, and when they saw Zheng Xian, they all knelt down and saluted.

When Zheng Xian saw these servants, he didn't look as friendly as he did when he saw me. He didn't even bother to say hello and went straight into the inner room.

The inner room is very large and the furnishings are luxurious. It can be seen that the queen has put a lot of thought into accommodating the prince.

There were two imperial doctors waiting in the room. When they saw Zheng Xian come in, they hurried forward to salute.

Zheng Xian looked at his son lying motionless on the bed, frowned and asked, "How is Duoyuan?"

The two imperial doctors looked at each other, and finally one of them mustered up the courage to stammer, "Your Majesty, the situation is not optimistic."

"Huh?" Seeing Zheng Xian getting angry again, I quickly said, "Tell everyone to leave. Too many people are not suitable for the patient to recuperate."

In fact, it’s not that they are afraid of too many people, but that the imperial doctors are useless here.

Zheng Bang was depressed and easily attracted evil spirits. The dark air in the room was so dense that it formed into a ball. It was frightening to see it. With so many wronged spirits haunting him, it would be strange if he could be healthy.

Zheng Xian said with a dark face: "Get out of here!"

The imperial physician, palace maids, and eunuchs all fled away tumbling under the emperor's rage.

I said to Zheng Xian and Yi Ping, "You two should get out too. If you stay here for too long, your health will be affected."

Zheng Xian's face darkened and he said, "Did Ah Man see something again?"

I nodded and said in a trembling voice, "There are so many of them, so many that they have formed a group. You should leave quickly. Leave quickly."

Zheng Xian's face turned ugly. He grabbed Yi Ping's hand and walked out.

Yiping didn't want to leave because she was afraid that I would be scared alone, but Zheng Xian didn't give her a chance to speak. He dragged her out of the door and "thoughtfully" closed it.

I slowly walked to Zheng Bang's bed. Zheng Bang's face was as pale as if covered with a layer of white lime. There was also a hint of gray in the white. It seemed that he had almost lost all his vitality.

Fortunately, I entered the palace today. If I had come a day later, I would have had to collect his body.

I sat down on the stool in front of the bed and reached out to hold Zheng Bang's hand.

Zheng Bang's hands were colder than mine, and his five fingers were like chicken claws, dry, thin and weak.

I took a deep breath and said, "Seventh Prince, I am also scared, but if I don't save you, no one can. After you come back to life, you must remember my kindness and repay me well. Oh, just repay Yi Ping. I only have this one sister. Even if I am gone, I hope she can live a life without worries for the rest of her life."

I kept on chattering, urging the black bead as I spoke.

The reason why I was so weird was that there was a huge green-headed ghost floating above Zheng Bang's bed, which was a hundred times more terrifying than the one on Zheng Yan's body.

I have had this habit since I was a child. Whenever I feel panic or sad, I always like to talk to myself to distract myself from the anxiety in my heart.

This ghost had green eyes, a green tongue, and messy green hair. It also had no legs. It kept waving its two arms as thick as pillars above Zheng Bang and rolled its eyes at me coldly.
