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

Zheng Xian looked at the people kneeling on the ground and couldn't help but sigh, saying: "Why isn't Ah Man like you guys? No matter what you do or say, you always look righteous and confident, and you don't fear me at all?"

No one dared to answer this question.

Zheng Xian said slowly, "Get up. The ground is covered with snow. Isn't it cold?"

How could the ground not be cold?

But even if their legs were numb and swollen from kneeling, no one felt sorry for them, because they were just servants, and kneeling was the most normal thing for them.

Zheng Xian didn't know what was wrong with him. He actually blurted out such a sentence and was stunned after he said it.

Wei Yi was also stunned for a moment, but he still stood up obediently, walked slowly behind Zheng Xian, and said: "Your Majesty, the wind is blowing, let's hurry back to the palace."

Zheng Xian hummed, but continued walking forward, with no intention of taking the sedan chair.

The eight eunuchs had no choice but to carry the sedan chair and walk slowly behind Zheng Xian.

Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "You guys go back first, I can walk back."

The eunuchs and palace maids all stood there, not daring to move. Wei Yi had no choice but to say, "His Majesty asked you to go back first, so go back first, don't waste time."

Only then did the eunuchs and palace maids dare to say, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then they carried the sedan chair away in an orderly manner.

Zheng Xian waved his hand and the secret guards left.

Even Wei Yi didn't know how many secret guards Zheng Xian had.

When Wei Yi saw that everyone had been sent away and he was the only one left, he was shocked and panicked, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had to endure it.

After walking for a while, the crunching sound of stepping on the snow stopped again. This time, Wei Yi learned his lesson. When he heard the footsteps in front of him, he immediately stood firm and did not dare to take another step forward.

It turned out that Zheng Xian saw the flowers of the plum tree in the corner had bloomed, and he just stared at the flowers and didn't leave.

Although the color of the plum blossoms cannot be seen under the hazy light of snow, the faint fragrance of the plum blossoms is refreshing and makes people stay.

Zheng Xian reached out his hand and plucked a plum blossom, shaking off the snow on it. He said, "The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The colder the weather, the heavier the snow, and the more plum blossoms bloom. Even plum blossoms know to face the sun in adversity. Why should I be afraid of what I have encountered?"

Wei Yi didn't know what Zheng Xian was worried about, but he still followed Zheng Xian's meaning and said, "Your Majesty is a man of great blessings, so of course you have nothing to fear."

Zheng Xian chuckled and said, "The one who is blessed is Ah Man. If I had not relied on Ah Man's good fortune, I would have followed the late emperor long ago."

Wei Yi was so frightened that he wanted to kneel down and apologize, but Zheng Xian said angrily, "No, stand up and talk properly."

Wei Yi said timidly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zheng Xian continued walking forward holding the plum blossom.

From time to time, patrolling Royal Guards passed by, but when they saw the lantern in Wei Yi's hand from afar, they stopped and saluted Zheng Xian. Only after Zheng Xian walked away did they continue their patrol.

Zheng Xian put the plum blossom under his nose and sniffed it, then said, "Little Weizi, do you think Ah Man has any intention of rebelling?"

An extremely pale face involuntarily emerged in Wei Yi's mind. The face was getting thinner and thinner, with a pair of big eyes blinking, making him look silly and cute, but not very smart.

This face has delicate features, but he has never dressed up, and his hair is casually tied up, most of the time without even a hairpin; what he wears is also quite casual, and those clothes are no longer fit, but he still wears them, and does not care that they are loose; he does not care about the style, fabric, or combination of the clothes. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, he looks like a decadent young man with no aspirations!

So Wei Yi shook his head and said, "Ah Man is lazy by nature. He would rather sit than walk, and would rather lie down than sit. How could he have any improper thoughts about the dragon throne?"

After hearing this, Zheng Xian suddenly laughed, and after a while he said, "If Ah Man really has unrealistic ambitions for the throne, with her luck and intelligence, it should be a piece of cake for her to achieve it."

Intelligence?

Wei Yi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out where Ah Man's intelligence was. He looked like an ordinary person, so he couldn't be considered smart.

But Wei Yi did not dare to speak too bluntly, and said tactfully: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. In terms of intelligence and talent, who can compare with Your Majesty!"

Zheng Xian took a plum blossom and tapped Wei Yi on the head, saying, "Don't flatter me all the time. I'm almost overwhelmed by your praise."

Wei Yi touched his head gently and grinned foolishly.

Zheng Xian picked a plum blossom and pinned it on Wei Yi's head, smiled and said, "Little Wei, don't underestimate Ah Man. People who are born with great luck are not stupid. It's just that she is like Concubine Bai, both of them are rare and kind people. They miss the people of the world in their hearts, so they are not obsessed with the throne."

Wei Yi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

Zheng Xian said self-deprecatingly: "I want to see her, but I am afraid to see her, because in front of her, I am a despicable villain, stealing her luck, borrowing her life, watching her get hurt again and again, and her life is getting shorter and shorter, and I have to pretend to be indifferent. I am afraid I am the worst person in the world, right?"

Wei Yi was horrified when he heard this and quickly said, "Your Majesty, please be careful with your words. Everything you do is for the sake of the world. How can you say such mean words?"

Zheng Xian picked another plum blossom and pinned it on Wei Yi's head, saying, "Those who covet my throne also do all kinds of evil things under the banner of serving the world; those who covet my treasures also do all kinds of evil things under the banner of serving the world. What's the difference between me and them?"

Wei Yi was confused by the question and didn't know how to answer.

Zheng Xian sighed and said, "There is no difference between us, because we are all robbers, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he actually burst into laughter, but the laughter sounded so sad.

Wei Yi secretly swallowed his saliva and thought to himself, His Majesty is really crazy, what should I do?

Zheng Xian stuffed the plum blossom in his hand into Wei Yi's arms and said, "Let's go, let's go see Old Man Bai. This damn old man actually wants to rebel. Haha, he's really bold."

Wei Yi secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Bai Nanzhu was imprisoned in the Privy Council and was tortured by Cheng Dazhi to the point of being unrecognizable and hanging on by his last breath.

With the speed of Zheng Xian and Wei Yi, they soon arrived at the fake gate of the Privy Council.

This fake door was located in the stable in the backyard of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After moving a few haystacks, one could see the door that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.

Wei Yi walked forward and knocked five times, three long and two short. Soon someone opened the door from the inside. The person who opened the door was about to say the secret signal, but when he saw it was Zheng Xian, he was so scared that he opened the door without saying a word and welcomed Zheng Xian in.

After entering the door, there is a secret room with torture instruments hanging on all sides, which looks very scary.

Going further inside, there are prison cells.

There were not many prisoners in the cell, but it was filled with a strong stench, a mixture of blood, rotten meat, feces and urine, which was disgusting.
