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

Zheng Xian stood outside the cell, holding his nose with a handkerchief and said in disgust: "What's going on? The cell stinks so badly and they don't clean it up. Where's Cheng Dazhi? Tell him to get out and see me."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he quickly turned around and walked out. If he stayed for another second, he was afraid that he would vomit.

This cell was not the same one where the two princes of Xihe were imprisoned last time. Even Wei Yi couldn't count how many cells there were in the Privy Council.

The official who had been following Zheng Xian closely received the order and ran to find Cheng Dazhi like the wind.

Cheng Dazhi was also a eunuch, but he did not need to serve the emperor and empress, so unlike Wei Yi, who had to walk with a bent back, his back was always straight, and his speech and movements were not affected. He looked no different from a normal person and you couldn't tell that he was a eunuch at all.

Wei Yi was the chief eunuch, and Cheng Dazhi was the head of the Privy Council. Logically, Cheng Dazhi should be under Wei Yi's jurisdiction, but Cheng Dazhi was a third-rank official and his position was higher than Wei Yi's, so Wei Yi had no control over him.

So in the end, no one cared about anyone else. When Wei Yi saw Cheng Dazhi, he had to respectfully call him "Lord Cheng"; when Cheng Dazhi saw Wei Yi, he also had to politely call him "General Manager Wei".

Cheng Dazhi soon walked in from another door, his body covered in blood, looking like he had just tortured someone.

Cheng Dazhi walked quickly to Zheng Xian, knelt down and saluted, saying: "I didn't know your majesty was coming, and I failed to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me, your majesty."

Zheng Xian covered his nose and frowned, saying, "What's going on here? Isn't it usually cleaned? Why is it so smelly?"

Zheng Xian did not ask Cheng Dazhi to stand up. He did not dare to stand up either. He still knelt with his head lowered and said, "Your Majesty, I have raised corpse worms on the prisoner, so there is a foul smell."

"Raising corpse worms?" Zheng Xian's hair went numb when he heard this and he couldn't help but want to vomit.

Cheng Dazhi replied: "Yes, the prisoner is too stubborn. I can only use this method to pry open the prisoner's mouth and make him spit out everything he knows."

After Cheng Dazhi finished speaking, he reached out from his chest, took out a stack of papers and handed it to Zheng Xian, and Wei Yi quickly reached out to take it.

Wei Yi handed the stack of papers to Zheng Xian. Zheng Xian took it and saw that it was the confession of the prisoner!

The more Zheng Xian looked down, the uglier his expression became. Finally, his face turned ashen and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

When Wei Yi saw Zheng Xian's frightening expression, he quickly came over to carry him on his back, saying, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. It's not worth it if you get yourself hurt."

Zheng Xian threw the confession in his hand to the ground and said, "Don't be lenient. I will give you a sword. You can kill first and report later!"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Dazhi was overjoyed. He knocked his head on the ground with a loud bang and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Even the crown prince would be wary of the imperial sword bestowed by the emperor, not to mention the ministers below.

Now that Cheng Dazhi has this imperial sword, he can almost walk sideways in front of all the ministers. How can he not be overjoyed?

Zheng Xian walked up to Cheng Dazhi and helped him up, saying, "Cheng Aiqing is my confidant and the person I trust the most. You are the only one I can rely on. You must work hard for me in the future. I will never treat you unfairly."

Cheng Dazhi was like a sinister and cunning mouse, doing some shameful deeds in the dark. Now he was lifted up so high by Zheng Xian that he almost floated.

Cheng Dazhi's face flushed with excitement, and he said with sparkling eyes: "Yes, Your Majesty, I will serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul until my death."

Zheng Xian nodded with satisfaction and said, "I came here today to see Old Man Bai. Bring him to see me."

Cheng Dazhi said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Bai has already used severe punishment, I'm afraid it's not good."

Zheng Xian said nonchalantly: "Then bring it up."

Anyway, everyone is going to die, so why does it matter how they die?

Soon, Bai Nanzhu was carried up.

There was no stretcher or sedan chair; he was just carried up by two people.

After being lifted up, they were thrown onto the cold floor, regardless of whether they were dead or alive.

The blood at the corners of Bai Nanzhu's mouth had not dried yet, his eyes were closed, his face was as pale as paper, and his breathing was weak. It looked like he would not survive the night.

Zheng Xian kicked Bai Nanzhu, and Bai Nanzhu slowly opened his eyes. He stared at Zheng Xian for a long time before recognizing who he was.

Bai Nanzhu shouted weakly, "Your Majesty."

Zheng Xian hummed and said, "I have been kind to you, why do you want to harm me? And the Crown Prince?"

Bai Nanzhu pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, made a sound of "Pooh", and said: "Not mean? Everything you do is just for yourself. In your eyes, other people are worse than dog shit."

Now that the relationship has been exposed, Bai Nanzhu doesn't want to pretend anymore. If he were able to move around easily now, he would have spit in Zheng Xian's face long ago.

Zheng Xian was not annoyed. He sneered and said, "You are a member of the Bai family. Unfortunately, you are not talented enough and were driven out by the Bai family. If the late emperor had not taken you in, you would still be a beggar on the street, living a life of hiding. But you only lived a good life for a few days and you completely forgot the late emperor's grace. You even dared to write a talisman to summon ghosts for my two sons!"

Zheng Xian got so angry when he said this that he kicked Bai Nanzhu hard. Bai Nanzhu vomited blood from the kick. Now he had no air to breathe in but only air to exhale.

Zheng Xian said: "Who do you think you are? How dare you covet my throne?"

Bai Nanzhu spat out a mouthful of blood foam and grinned, "Do you think I was really kicked out of the family?"

Zheng Xian frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Nanzhu wanted to laugh out loud, but his injuries were too severe. He could only laugh out loud before his trachea was blocked by blood, and he almost choked to death.

After finally catching his breath, he took a deep breath and said, "The Bai family also has many branches. In addition to witches, there are also male wizards. However, male wizards are not as powerful as witches, so they are not known to outsiders."

Zheng Xian stared at Bai Nanzhu for three seconds and said, "Are you the male wizard branch of the Bai family?"

Bai Nanzhu laughed twice and said, "Yes, I am from the male wizard branch of the Bai family. The male wizards have always been suppressed by the female witches, so they are naturally resentful. Bai Qianqian happened to be sent to the capital because she went crazy, so the family sent me to the capital to find an opportunity to kill Bai Qianqian. Unfortunately, Bai Qianqian was protected in the palace by the late emperor, and I could not find a chance to kill her."

Zheng Xian asked in confusion: "Why did you kill Bai Fei?"

Bai Nanzhu grinned with a blood-spurting mouth and said, "Why? Of course it's because of the White Witch's power in her!"

"White Witch's power?" Zheng Xian asked in surprise, "Can the White Witch's power be transferred?"

"Haha... cough cough cough..." Bai Nanzhu was too proud and almost choked to death by the blood he spurted out.
