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

Zheng Yan sneered and said, "Of course he is in trouble. He is the one who hid the thieves from Xihe Country in the ranch. How could he be fine? It is not too much to execute all nine generations of his clan."

"What? General Chen is actually a traitor?" I looked at Zheng Yan in disbelief.

Gongsun Wen said in dissatisfaction: "Didn't His Royal Highness bring soup to Ah Man? The soup is almost cold."

"Oh, yes, Ah Man, drink the soup first." Zheng Yan said, then sat on my bed, holding the bowl and said, "You are injured, let me feed you."

I always feel that something is wrong with Gongsun Wen and Zheng Yan today. A person who usually argues with me when he sees me actually comforts me; and a high and mighty Prince actually said he would feed me soup!

Either I was hallucinating or I was still dreaming.

In order to prove whether I was dreaming or not, I pinched my face hard, and it hurt so much that I couldn't help but cry out "ouch".

Gongsun Wen and Zheng Yan shouted together: "What are you doing?"

With tears in my eyes, I said, “I want to see if I’m dreaming.”

Gongsun Wen rolled his eyes and said, "What a fool."

Zheng Yan scooped a spoonful of chicken soup and held it in front of me, saying, "You have done a great deed this time. Not only can I feed you the soup myself, I can even wash your feet for you."

I shrank my feet, reached out to push the bowl away, and said, "Haha, Your Highness, you are joking. I'd better do it myself. How dare I ask Your Highness to feed me soup?"

Gongsun Wen looked at Zheng Yan and wanted to kick him twice for stealing his credit, otherwise the bowl of soup should be in his hands now.

At this moment, Zhang San and Li Si came in and bowed to me. Zhang San said, "Second Master, there was a riot at the ranch last night. Your horse, your horse is missing."

"Ah?" I spat out a mouthful of soup. Fortunately, I blocked it quickly with my sleeve, otherwise it would have all sprayed on Zheng Yan. "My, my Little Huihui is missing? Then where are my axe and bow and arrow?" I was so anxious that I was a little tongue-tied.

Zhang San said quickly, "I have kept the axe and bow in safekeeping, please rest assured, Second Young Master."

I felt relieved after hearing this.

Zheng Yan said quickly: "Don't worry, Ah Man, I will definitely send someone to help you find the horse."

At this time, Qin Feng also came in, squeezed in front of me and said, "Sir, those cows were frightened last night, and eight of them died today."

Now I can't even drink my soup. Troublesome things keep happening one after another, leaving me exhausted.

I handed the soup to Zhang San and said, "You guys go down first. We can talk about the horse later."

"Yes, Second Young Master." Zhang San and Li Si stepped back.

I said to Qin Feng, "Drag the dead cows to the mountain and burn them, then bury the burnt area. Make sure to handle it thoroughly, otherwise these sick cows will easily cause big trouble."

"Yes, sir." Qin Feng took the order and left.

Gongsun Wen tucked me in and said, "Okay, stop worrying about these meaningless things. Are you hungry? I see you didn't drink much of the chicken soup just now. How about I ask them to cook you a bowl of noodles?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't want to eat anything. I just want to cry. How about you hold me for a while and let me cry first?"

Before Gongsun Wen could say anything, a burst of chuckle came from behind him. I quickly turned sideways to look, and unexpectedly it was Zhao Zhenyuan!

Zheng Yan saw Zhao Zhenyuan coming over and quickly stood up and said, "Is General Zhao here?"

Zhao Zhenyuan bowed to Zheng Yan and said, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince is polite."

Zheng Yan smiled and said, "General Zhao, there is no need to be polite."

Zhao Zhenyuan bowed to Gongsun Wen again and said, "Master Taifu is polite."

Gongsun Wen really didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Zhenyuan. After all, his official rank was higher than his. Even if he ignored him, he wouldn't dare to say anything. But Zhao Zhenyuan was an important minister of His Majesty, and even His Majesty had to be polite to him. If he put on airs and ignored him, and His Majesty found out, he would be in trouble again.

After thinking a few hundred times, Gongsun Wen decided not to give Zhao Zhenyuan a cold shoulder and said politely, "General Zhao is polite."

Zhao Zhenyuan has guarded the border for many years, and he has made the people of Xihe tremble with fear. He relies not on his martial arts, but on his strategies. Although he looks tall and mighty, and looks like a fool, he is actually a very smart person, otherwise Zheng Xian would not rely on him so much.

Zhao Zhenyuan saw that Gongsun Wen greeted him reluctantly, but he didn't bother with him, because he knew Gongsun Wen's character a little bit. This guy usually didn't like to talk to people. Sometimes, even His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be turned away by him without any rules at all.

Zhao Zhenyuan said: "Your Highness, Grand Tutor, I have a few words to say to Ah Man alone, I wonder if it is okay..."

Zhao Zhenyuan didn't dare to directly ask Zheng Yan and Gongsun Wen to leave, but they were all smart people. When they heard it, they naturally understood that Zhao Zhenyuan didn't want them to hear some of his words. Zheng Yan quickly said, "There are still some things I need to deal with at the ranch. You two can talk."

Zheng Yan was about to leave when he suddenly turned around and asked, "A'man, do you need to go back to Beijing to recuperate? I'll go and tell my father."

I shook my head and said, "The cowpox vaccine has been grown and can be collected in the next few days. I can't leave. If I leave, all my efforts will be wasted."

Zheng Yan nodded and said, "That's good. In the past few days, someone has maliciously spread rumors in the capital, saying that the smallpox virus was brought back from the border by the imperial physician and deliberately endangered the civilians. Many people have gathered in front of the palace and asked the emperor to make a decision for them. In addition, many grain merchants in the city have raised the price. Many ordinary people can no longer afford rice. There are complaints and public anger."

After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he sneered and continued, "Just as my father expected, the capital will soon be in chaos."

I think Zheng Yan can still laugh, which means the problem is not serious. I have seen Zheng Xian's methods, and no one has ever let him suffer. Those who dare to let him suffer will report to the King of Hell.

But I still had to say something polite, so I pretended to be worried and said, "Then you better be careful and don't fall into the trap of those with ulterior motives."

Zheng Yan nodded and said, "You have made great contributions this time. Father will definitely reward you handsomely. Is there anything you want?"

I thought about it and said, "Buy me some more high-quality incense and candles, as well as lots and lots of paper gold, silver, treasures, and paper clothes. I want to burn them for the ghosts who saved me."

Zheng Yan was silent. Even if he said he didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world, General Zhao actually shot and killed a ghost king. Even if he said that he had never seen one in his life.

Zheng Yan had no choice but to say, "That's easy. I'll send someone to deliver it after I return to Beijing."

I said sincerely: "Thank you on their behalf."

Zheng Yan smiled without saying anything, then turned and left.

Gongsun Wen didn't leave. He looked at me, as if asking if I needed him to stay. I shook my head. He looked disappointed, but he quickly said, "I'll go cook noodles for you."

After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
