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

Gongsun Wen looked at me anxiously, fearing that I might call out the ghosts and scare Cheng Dazhi to death. But the problem was that he was also scared, and I didn't know if Cheng Dazhi was scared to death. If he saw those ghosts one more time, he would die right there.

But Gongsun Wen saw that I was still sitting there calmly without any reaction, so he concluded that I must not know Cheng Dazhi's identity, otherwise I could be so calm sitting with this devil.

After Cheng Dazhi and Gongsun Wen greeted each other, he bowed to me and said, "I don't know this brother. May I ask who he is?"

Cheng Dazhi is Zheng Xian's favorite, so I have to give him some face, so I raised my hand and bowed, saying, "I am Zhao Man, hello, Lord Cheng."

When Cheng Dazhi saw me addressing him directly as "Master Cheng", his expression changed several times, but he finally said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, do you know me?"

I nodded and said, "Of course I know you, you are Shu..."

Before I could finish what I was going to say, Gongsun Wen was so scared that he covered my mouth with his hands and said, "Don't say it!"

When Cheng Dazhi saw that I could really call out his name, his expression became very interesting, but he was better at hiding his emotions than Gongsun Wen. He rolled his eyes and immediately smiled like a chrysanthemum, saying, "Master Gongsun, don't be too nervous. I didn't expect Brother Zhao to actually know me. It's rare, rare."

I pushed Gongsun Wen's hand away and said, "Of course I know you. You are a favorite of His Majesty."

After hearing this, Gongsun Wen wanted to slap me and kept rolling his eyes.

After hearing this, Cheng Dazhi, in order to hide his emotions, picked up the wine glass and filled it for Gongsun Wen, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao is really straightforward, haha."

Cheng Dazhi poured wine for Gongsun Wen and wanted to fill my glass. I quickly pushed away the wine jug that Cheng Dazhi handed over and said, "I don't know how to drink. You guys drink it."

Cheng Dazhi paused, then chuckled and said, "Okay, then Brother Zhao, let's drink tea instead of wine. Let's drink this cup!"

I picked up the teacup, but Gongsun Wen was not interested at all. I put his wine glass in his hand and said, "Lord Cheng is so willing to drink with you, you should not refuse his kindness."

"You!" Gongsun Wen held the wine glass, looked at me, then looked at Cheng Dazhi, and drank it all in a bad mood.

Cheng Dazhi knew Gongsun Wen's temper, so he didn't bother with him. After clinking glasses with me, he tilted his head back and drank the wine.

I took a sip of tea and said to Cheng Dazhi, "Master Cheng doesn't look very well. Don't overwork yourself, or it will affect your health."

Cheng Dazhi's face changed again. He had never dealt with a straightforward person in his life. No matter how cunning or sinister a person was, he would become extremely obedient in his hands. Now, he was caught off guard by someone as straightforward as me.

Cheng Dazhi looked into my eyes seriously, and in the end, he had to admit that I did not lie!

Cheng Dazhi couldn't help but ask me curiously, "Anyone who knows my true identity will only feel fear and hatred for me. Why aren't you afraid of me?"

I asked in confusion: "Why should I be afraid of you? I haven't done anything bad. Besides, even if I did something bad, you wouldn't dare to arrest me because your majesty wouldn't allow it, haha."

My fearless look made Cheng Dazhi raise his eyebrows and said, "No one has ever talked to me like this before. You are really interesting."

Cheng Dazhi, with his identity and status, has taken "evil" to the extreme, but he doesn't care what outsiders think of him. After all, he is a lonely man, without a father, a mother, a child, and a life without any ties. Now that the emperor relies on him, of course he must repay him with his life. He eats the emperor's salary and worries about the emperor. This has become his lifelong creed.

So no matter how arrogant I am, as long as His Majesty doesn't persuade me, he will never hurt me at all. This is his principle in life.

I know Cheng Dazhi very well, and that's why I'm not afraid of him.

The dishes were being served one after another. There were only three of us at our table. The other tables were packed and no one dared to squeeze in towards us.

I used the serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of green vegetable for Cheng Dazhi and said, "Master Cheng, I'm not saying anything, but you have too many problems. You need to take good care of yourself. Otherwise, when all the symptoms come out at the same time, even a great immortal can't save you."

Cheng Dazhi didn't expect me to bring this question back. He knew his own health very well. Not many eunuchs could live long. Even if he practiced martial arts, he could only live a few years longer than ordinary eunuchs. But I repeatedly raised the issue of his health. He didn't know how to answer. Gongsun Wen put a large piece of fish into my bowl and said, "So much food can't fill your mouth. Talk less and eat more vegetables."

I stuffed the fish into my mouth and said, "This fish is not tender enough. It's not as delicious as the one made at Wangyue Tower."

Gongsun Wen picked up the chopsticks and tapped me on the head, saying, "The host is talking, can't you just shut up and eat your meal?"

I turned my head and saw Du Feilong holding his wine glass and making an impassioned speech. Yi Ping was standing beside him, holding her teacup tightly and looking for me. When she saw me looking at her, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and raised her teacup towards me. I also raised my teacup towards her quickly, and then drank it all in one gulp. Yi Ping smiled with her lips pursed.

Cheng Dazhi saw everything Yi Ping and I did. He silently picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Gongsun Wen. Then he raised the glass and said, "Master Gongsun, I offer you a toast."

Gongsun Wen was a loner by nature and didn't like to talk to people. In addition, he didn't want to deal with people like Cheng Dazhi. But he couldn't let Cheng Dazhi down in front of him, so he raised his glass reluctantly and said, "I can't drink much, I'll do whatever I want, but Master Cheng, please drink to your heart's content."

Cheng Dazhi could of course see Gongsun Wen's dislike for him, but he just smiled and said, "I can drink quite well, so it seems that it won't be easy to find an opponent today."

As he was speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside the door: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Why is Zheng Yan here?

Before I could figure out what was going on, Gongsun Wen snatched the chicken leg from my hand and threw it back into the bowl, then picked me up and we both knelt on the ground to salute Zheng Yan.

Not long after, footsteps were finally heard, followed by Zheng Yan's cheerful voice: "Everyone, please get up. No need to be polite. I am late, and I hope Lord Du will forgive me."

Du Feilong led his husband, Du Changfeng and Yi Ping and hurried forward to greet them.

We all stood up, sat back in our seats and waited for the prince to take his seat before we started eating again.
