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

Chapter 314 General Zhao Returns to Beijing

I looked at Zheng Bang with a teachable look and said, "It seems that you are not completely stupid. Starting tomorrow, you have to run ten laps around the Du Mansion before breakfast every day. You can have breakfast only after you finish running."

Zheng Bang was so frightened by what I said that his eyes almost popped out of his head. He stammered, "Ten, ten laps? Wouldn't that kill me?"

I sneered and said, "You won't die if you run. If you don't run, it will definitely cost you your life! If you think it's too much, start with two or three laps, and then increase to ten laps. I'll ask my third sister to supervise you. If you don't run ten laps, you won't pass. I'll slowly deal with you when I come back."

Zheng Bang was not afraid of me dealing with him. No matter how stupid he was, he knew that he was a prince and no one dared to do anything to him. But he was really afraid that Yi Ping would not want her. If Yi Ping married someone else, she would have to cook for someone else, and he absolutely could not stand such a result.

So he puffed out his chest and said, "Don't underestimate me. I used to practice martial arts and horse riding, so I'm in good shape."

"Okay, okay, I won't look down on you. Can you read?" I asked.

The topic changed so quickly that Zheng Bang took a while to react. He rolled his eyes at me and said, "Your Highness has been familiar with poetry and books since childhood. Although I am not as proficient in the Five Strategies as the Crown Prince, and I am not as knowledgeable as him, writing a few words is not a big deal, right?"

I stood up and said, "That's good. Come with me and I'll read while you write."

Zheng Bang followed me happily.

I walked to the desk, ground the ink, and said, "Write now."

I read out a long list of drug names, and Zheng Bang picked up the pen and wrote very quickly.

It's true that Zheng Bang's handwriting is much better than Zhao Jinping's. Even though he is younger than Jinping, his handwriting has its own style. It's obvious that he has practiced calligraphy since he was a child. Moreover, he didn't make any mistakes in writing so many medicinal names. His handwriting is neat and tidy, which looks very comfortable.

Looking at Zheng Bang's beautiful handwriting, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that the education of wealthy families starts from childhood. No matter how hard a poor boy like Jinping works, he will find it difficult to catch up with others if he missed the enlightenment education in his childhood. It's really different fates for the same people.

Zheng Bang wrote the prescription and read it carefully again. He handed it to me only after he felt there was no problem.

I checked the name of the medicine and the dosage and found no mistakes. I returned the prescription to Zheng Bang and said, "This is your prescription. Drink one dose every day for 30 days in a row and your illness will be cured."

Zheng Bang took the prescription and asked in confusion, "What disease do I have?"

I glanced at Zheng Bang and said, "You have a disease that prevents you from marrying my third sister. If you don't treat it well, she will marry someone else in the future."

Zheng Bang's face turned pale after hearing this. He didn't expect that he had such a serious disease. This disease must be treated!

He held the prescription tightly and said through gritted teeth: "I understand. If this prescription can cure the disease, I am willing to take it for a year, not to mention thirty days!"

As they were talking, Yi Ping and Madam Du came in. Yi Ping saw Zheng Bang's face was pale, so he hurried over, touched Zheng Bang's forehead, and asked worriedly: "Seventh Prince, are you sick? Why is your face so pale?"

I said, "Yes, he is sick and needs medicine. If anyone in the mansion goes to buy supplies, please bring back his medicine as well. Bring at least thirty sets."

Zheng Bang quickly handed the prescription to Yi Ping, who took it and asked doubtfully, "You were fine this morning, how come you are sick now? And where did you get this prescription?"

Before Zheng Bang could speak, I quickly took over and said, "This prescription was given to me by Dr. Sun."

Yi Ping heaved a sigh of relief and said, "So it was Doctor Sun who asked you to bring it here. I think it must be correct."

Then Yi Ping looked at Zheng Bang with a straight face and said, "Then you have to take the medicine carefully. Don't pour the medicine out secretly without telling us like you did before."

Zheng Bang hadn't recovered from my lie yet, and said reflexively: "No, I will definitely take the medicine properly this time."

Yi Ping nodded in satisfaction, handed the prescription to Mrs. Du, and said with a smile, "I'm going to trouble you again, mother."

Madam Du took the prescription and said, "What's the trouble? Besides, it's an honor for us in the Du family to work for His Majesty the Seventh Prince."

At this time, the servants brought up the dishes one after another. The dishes were very rich, and some of them were made by Yi Ping himself. I don’t know if this fool Zheng Bang has opened his third eye, as long as the dishes are made by Yi Ping, he can tell at a glance, and he gathers all the dishes in front of himself, guarding them tightly, and no one is allowed to snatch food.

With two more people in the house, Mrs. Du did not feel bored. Instead, she felt that the boring days were finally filled with fun, and a smile never left her face.

He looked at Yiping, then at Zheng Bang who was eating like a pig, and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

While eating, I asked Yiping if she wanted Yingchun's maids to serve her. Yiping was worried about the wealth that was not looked after, so she hardened her heart and said no, and just let them stay at the house to look after the house.

After dinner, I left Du’s house with Zhang San and Li Si, who had been waiting for a long time.

Yiping didn't dare to see me off, for she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and would have to go with me.

It was getting dark. Zhang San, Li Si, I and I were afraid that we wouldn't be able to reach Xishan Royal Ranch before dark, so we whipped the horses desperately to get out of the city as quickly as possible. However, the faster we tried, the more troubles we encountered. Not long after we left Du's house, the street was blocked by people!

I looked at the people on the street and thought that the court had issued a decree on smallpox, so I dismounted, threw the reins to Zhang San, and followed the crowd slowly forward. Not long after, I suddenly heard a loud shout: "The mighty general has arrived at the South Gate."

Then the crowd cheered and rushed forward like crazy.

A mighty general?

The name sounds familiar.

I was thinking hard, and Zhang San next to me saw that I tilted my head and couldn't think of who it was, so he couldn't help but say, "The mighty general is Zhao Zhenyuan, General Zhao."

Zhao Zhenyuan? Isn't that my father? Ugh! Zhao Shengping's father!

He returned to Beijing so soon? Didn't he say it would take ten days? No matter how you calculate it, only seven or eight days have passed.

There were more and more people, squeezing me all over the place, so Zhang San had no choice but to say, "Second Young Master, why don't you get on the horse? This road leads out of the city anyway, so we can just ride slowly. There are so many people, I'm afraid you'll get hurt."

I know it's not a decree from the court, so I'm not in a hurry. What's so good about this scumbag father? If he hadn't returned to the city to block the way, we would have left the city long ago. He is simply a troublemaker and delayed our exit from the city.

I got on the horse while cursing in my heart. After getting on the horse, I felt much better. People were crowded together, but people didn't dare to push the horse. After all, horses are valuable, and horses will go crazy if people bump into them. It would not feel good to kick yourself.

I rode my horse slowly forward. Not long after, I heard the sound of a gong, followed by a loud shout: "Your Highness the Crown Prince respectfully welcomes the mighty general and his 3,000 cavalrymen into the city. Everyone stay out! Dangdangdang!"
