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

Zheng Yan, who was sitting next to me, almost spit out his food. Zheng Xian glared at him and said unhappily, "As a prince, you should pay attention to your words and actions."

Zheng Yan quickly swallowed his rice and said, "Yes, father, I was wrong."

Zhao Zhenyuan kept staring at me and drinking silently. I pretended not to see his gaze and continued to eat my food in big mouthfuls.

Zheng Xian glanced at Zhao Zhenyuan and said, "Changguang, is the food not to your taste? Why are you only drinking and not eating?"

Zhao Zhenyuan put down his wine glass, smiled and said, "I haven't been back to Beijing for three years. A lot of things have happened in Beijing. I just feel that things and people have changed."

Zheng Xian smiled and said, "I heard that your second daughter got lost and has not returned home yet. Have you found her?"

Zhao Zhenyuan shook his head and said, "No, I sent someone back to Yongcheng, but there was only one empty room left, and the eldest son and the youngest daughter were missing. I heard that my mother-in-law also died of illness. I am really unfilial. My mother-in-law only had Yue Niang as her child, and I was not able to be there to mourn for her and see her off at the funeral."

Zheng Xian glanced at me quietly and saw that my hand only paused for a moment before continuing to eat.

Zheng Xian said: "Chang Guang, don't worry. Good people will be blessed by heaven. The child will be fine."

Zhao Zhenyuan looked at me and said, "Your Majesty, could you please tell me about Ah Man's life story?"

No one expected Zhao Zhenyuan to ask such a straightforward question. A military commander is indeed a military commander, speaking directly and never beating around the bush.

Zheng Xian looked at me in embarrassment and said, "Of course, I have to ask Ah Man about her life story. If she refuses to tell me, I can't be such an ugly person."

I didn't expect that Zheng Xian would actually help me hide it. I couldn't help but look up at Zheng Xian. My mouth was full of rice grains. Gongsun Wen, who was a mysophobe, couldn't stand it anymore. He picked up a white towel and wiped my mouth twice. I couldn't push it away, and I was so angry that I rolled my eyes.

Zheng Xian looked at him and smiled, then said, "Ah Man, do you have anything to say to Chang Guang?"

I glanced at Zhao Zhenyuan, lowered my head quickly, and said, "No, but I borrowed three pass tokens from the Iron Cavalry today. I hope General Zhao will not punish them."

Zhao Zhenyuan said with a little disappointment: "I have ordered that the pass tokens cannot be lent out. They have violated the military order. Military orders cannot be violated. Since they have violated them, they must be punished. You don't need to ask about this matter anymore."

"You!" I glared at Zhao Zhenyuan angrily.

Li Jin, this shrewd man, raised his cup and said to Zhao Zhenyuan: "Your Majesty held a banquet in the palace last time to welcome General Zhao back to the capital. Because there were too many people, I didn't toast to the general. I will punish myself by drinking three cups. The general is free to do as he pleases."

After Li Jin finished speaking, Gululu quickly drank three glasses of wine.

Du Feilong laughed and said, "Master Li, are you trying to trick me into giving you some wine?"

Li Jin said unhappily, "Go away, go away."

Zhao Zhenyuan smiled and said, "Mr. Li, you are too polite. One cup of such fine wine is not enough. I will drink three cups myself."

The drinking atmosphere immediately became lively, and Du Changfeng also raised his glass and said to Zhao Zhenyuan: "General Zhao, I will toast you a glass."

Zhao Zhenyuan raised his glass and drank it all.

Zheng Yan was the first to start the commotion, saying, "General Zhao really has a good alcohol tolerance. Quick, quick, fill General Zhao's glass."

For a while, the table was filled with clinking glasses, the wine was drunk, and everyone was having a great time. It looked like a picture of the emperor and his subjects enjoying themselves together.

I ate three bowls of rice in a row and felt a little full, so I said to Zheng Xian, "Your Majesty, I am full and want to go to the Imperial Physician's Office."

Zheng Xian nodded and said, "Go ahead."

I quickly stood up and ran away quickly.

I really don't want to attend such a banquet at all. I only ate white rice and didn't eat a single bite of the dishes.

As soon as I walked out, everyone put the cups in their hands back on the table and looked at Zheng Xian with serious expressions.

Zheng Xian's expression was no longer as gentle as before, but gloomy.

Zheng Yan said: "Father, there are many cases of smallpox in the capital. If we let it continue, the whole capital will be infected soon."

Zheng Xian said, "Didn't they say that a large amount of smallpox vaccine has been extracted? Pass on my order. Starting tomorrow, you can go to the Chang'an government office with your identity token to get vaccinated. After the vaccination, you can be issued a pass. With this pass, you can enter and leave the capital freely."

Zheng Yan was overjoyed and said, "It turns out that my father has already thought of a solution."

Zheng Xian said: "This is just the first step. Don't they want my country to be in chaos? How can I fulfill their wish? Now we can proceed to the second step of the plan."

Zheng Yan quickly replied: "Yes, Father."

Zheng Xian sneered and said, "The big show is about to begin, Changguang, are you ready?"

Zhao Zhenyuan said quickly: "Your Majesty, I will follow your orders."

Zheng Xian nodded and said, "If you want to hit the target with one strike, it's best to bring Ah Man with you. Although she may not necessarily increase your chances of success, she will definitely defeat the enemy!"

Except for Gongsun Wen, everyone looked at Zheng Xian with confusion.

Zheng Xian rolled his eyes at everyone and said, "Hasn't what I said been clear enough? Wherever Ah Man goes, trouble will happen. Don't you know how to take advantage of the chaos?"

Everyone then remembered that the Xihe assassins in the Royal Ranch were hiding so deeply. I only went there once and wiped them all out. It was just as Your Majesty said, as long as I appeared, no enemy could escape.

Zheng Xian looked at the people who had suddenly realized something and couldn't help but snorted and said, "What a bunch of idiots."

Everyone was scolded by the emperor, but no one dared to resist. They could only take it obediently, and even pretended that the emperor was right to scold them, and that his scolding was wonderful and that they enjoyed it.

Gongsun Wen suddenly felt very tired. He wanted to roll up his sleeves and go out to find me, but he was afraid that His Majesty would be angry and implicate me. So he had to endure it and watched everyone laugh with a look of despair.

I didn't know what Zheng Xian and the others were plotting after I left, so I rode my horse all the way to the Imperial Medical Office.

The Imperial Physician's Mansion was quieter than ever before. Even the doorman was gone, and all around was utterly silent.

On ordinary days, the Imperial Physician's Mansion is bustling with people, and the noise can be heard from far away, but now the door is closed and there is no one in sight.

I got off the horse, tied the reins to the big stone lion's feet, walked to the gate, and knocked on it hard.

After a long time, an old voice was heard: "Who is it? The Imperial Physician's Office is closed to visitors. If you have anything to ask, please come back in three days."

I recognized the voice of Doctor Sun, and I quickly called out, "Doctor Sun, it's me, Ah Man."

The small door on the side was opened with a creaky sound, and a head popped out. It was Doctor Sun!

When Doctor Sun saw me, he asked in surprise, "Ah Man? Shouldn't you be in Xishan? Why are you back?"
