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

I gritted my teeth and spat out three words: "General's Mansion."

Su Bowen said, "There are several generals in the capital. Which one are you talking about?"

I thought about it and said, "The Mighty General's Mansion."

Su Bowen said, "Oh, it turned out to be the residence of General Zhao, the national defender. General Zhao is famous. Our Dayu country has enjoyed such a peaceful and beautiful life thanks to General Zhao's guarding of the border. General Zhao is a good general loved by the whole country. Why did you go to scare the people in his residence? I regret taking this job too early."

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "There's nothing wrong with Zhao Zhenyuan. The problem is his second wife Gui Lanting. So the person I asked you to scare is that evil Gui Lanting."

"Mrs. Zhao?" Su Bowen was even more puzzled and said, "Mrs. Zhao is beyond reproach. She is kind and generous, and has opened many schools. She has sponsored countless people. How can she be a bad person? Are you mistaken?"

I was almost pissed off after hearing this. This hypocritical Gui Lanting actually acts like a good person in public. No wonder Zheng Xian didn't dare to do anything to her. He was afraid that if he didn't handle her well, not only would Zhao Zhenyuan rebel, but the people would also spit on him and drown Zheng Xian.

I yelled, "Ever since Zhao Zhenyuan married that woman, he has driven his two children to the countryside and left them alone. He also allowed that woman to spoil his eldest daughter, raising her fat and stupid, and making her the laughing stock of the entire capital. What's even more vicious is that after the eldest daughter escaped from her control, she wanted to kill her! If it weren't for the eldest daughter's good fortune, she would have reunited with you in the underworld long ago."

Because my voice was too loud, Yiping muttered a few words, turned over and fell asleep again.

I covered my mouth and whispered, "You damned bastard, you almost woke up my sister."

Su Bowen also whispered, "What does your excitement have to do with me? From the look of you, you want to peel Madam Zhao's skin and tear her bones apart. Why do you hate her so much?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "Because I am the eldest daughter!!"

Su Bowen...

Su Bowen was speechless for a moment, and after a long while he said, "Excuse me, I thought you were a man, but I didn't expect you were a pretty girl. After hearing what you said, I would like to meet this two-faced and beastly Madam Zhao. Don't worry, sir, I will definitely do everything you ask me to do."

After Su Bowen finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared without a trace.

Only after I saw Su Bowen leave did I sit down on the bed.

At this time, there were a few roosters crowing outside the house. It seemed that dawn was about to come. I didn’t expect that I would chat with a ghost all night. I was really exhausted.

I lay back on the bed, covered myself with a thick quilt, and slept so soundly that I didn't even notice Yiping got up.

I slept until noon when Yiping came to call me. I looked at the sun outside the window and slapped my head. I almost missed something important.

I promised Zheng Xian that I would have lunch with him at noon. Now the lunch time is almost over and I haven't gotten up yet. Zheng Xian must think I lied to him.

I got up quickly, washed up briefly, grabbed the big meat bun handed to me by Yiping, jumped onto the carriage that Zhang San and Li Si had already driven, and rushed towards the palace.

The horse driving the carriage has been changed. It is no longer Little Gray. Maybe Zhang San or Li Si went out early in the morning to buy it. I haven't had time to ask about it.

Zhang San drove the carriage all the way to the main gate of the palace, and I showed the token given by Zheng Yan and successfully asked for a horse. I thought the carriage was too slow, and Zheng Xian was in a state of being dizzy from time to time. I was really afraid that he would give me a good beating if I went too late, so it was faster to ride a horse.

The gatekeeper brought me a horse with nice fur and a gentle temperament. I climbed onto the horse's back with difficulty and ran towards the Jinxiu Palace with all my might.

I thought Zheng Xian was still in the Jinxiu Palace, but when I got there, the guards told me that His Majesty had returned to the Taihe Palace.

I had no choice but to rush to the Hall of Supreme Harmony again. When I arrived there, it was already past noon. Before I even entered the gate, I saw the palace maids and eunuchs leaving the hall with plates of food that had not been eaten yet!

I was shocked and knew that something bad had happened, so I quickly called out to the palace maids and asked them to quickly send the food back to the palace.

The golden token around my neck was quite intimidating, but these palace maids and eunuchs only obeyed His Majesty and Wei Yi. They looked at me with some embarrassment and did not obediently send the food back to the palace.

At this time, Wei Yi hurried out of the palace. Seeing me, he almost smiled like a chrysanthemum. He said anxiously, "Aman, you are finally here! Do you know that His Majesty has been waiting for you to eat for more than an hour, but you didn't come. His Majesty was so angry that he asked people to take away the food and didn't eat a single bite! His Majesty is still secretly angry in there, you should go in and persuade him."

I bowed to Wei Yi and said, "Thank you, Chief Steward Wei, for the reminder."

After I said that, I ran in quickly.

Wei Yi shouted at the palace maids and eunuchs who were holding the food, "What are you still standing there for? The food is cold. Take it down quickly and ask the imperial kitchen to make it again and bring it up."

"Yes!" The palace maids and eunuchs hurriedly half-knelt and saluted in return, then hurried away with the food in small steps.

I walked quickly into the dining room and found that Zheng Xian was not there, so I turned into the imperial study and saw Zheng Xian sitting in front of the large desk, holding a memorial and reading it quietly, circling and making notes as he read.

Since Wei Yi went out to pick me up, there was no need for me to be informed when I came in.

I tiptoed to the desk, lay down in front of it and watched Zheng Xian reviewing memorials.

After a while, Zheng Xian couldn't stand it any longer and put down his pen. He said unhappily, "Have you seen enough?"

I shook my head, held my chin and said, "Isn't this brain-intensive work left to the Crown Prince? Why are you still working so hard reviewing memorials?"

Zheng Xian rolled his eyes at me, picked up the pen again, and said, "I like it, what's it to you?"

I curled my lips and said, "You are the prince, you can do whatever you like, who dares to control you?"

Zheng Xian said without even looking up: "I can't control you. You said you would come to have lunch with me today, but it's already past noon and you haven't shown up yet!"

Zheng Xianzhao became angrier as he spoke, and he almost slammed the table and stood up.

I sighed and said, "You may not believe this, but I've been suffering from insomnia lately. I didn't sleep all night last night, and I didn't fall asleep until dawn. I overslept."

I didn't dare tell the truth to Zheng Xian. He was a suspicious, fickle, and thoughtful person. If he knew that I could communicate with ghosts without any obstacles, he would be afraid that I would harm him. I guess I would never be able to leave the palace in my life.

"Insomnia?" Zheng Xian looked at me doubtfully and asked, "Why do you suffer from insomnia?"

I thought about it and said, "Maybe the disease hasn't been completely cured yet, and the root of the disease has been left behind."

I had two panda eyes and a sallow complexion. Even if I wasn't suffering from insomnia, I looked very ill.

Zheng Xian put down his pen and memorials and said, "I was wrong. I thought you didn't come on purpose."
