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

The old lady was wiping away her nonexistent tears again, sobbing and saying, "I only have one son, and he didn't even know when I died. I just wanted to go see how he is doing now, and by the way, tell him the news that I'm dead."

I said hesitantly, "You can't leave this house, can you?"

The old lady said, "Before I died, I saw them bury our identity plates under the osmanthus tree in the front yard. Please dig out my identity plate so that I can attach myself to it. As long as you carry my identity plate, I can go out."

"Okay, old lady, can you tell me your name? I'll go dig out all the identity tags later," I said.

The old lady said, "My name is Li Hao. Thank you for your help."

I told Gongsun Wen about the old lady's wish, and he wrote it down carefully.

After saying that, I stood up and walked out to ask Zhao Zhenyuan for help in digging out the identity badge.

Zhao Zhenyuan knew that the identity plates of the dead were buried under the osmanthus tree. Without saying a word, he called in a few cavalry soldiers to help dig them up.

I went back to the room and saw Gongsun Wen sorting out the written materials. I walked over and counted them. He had only written about thirty copies. It would be dawn in three or four hours, so we had to hurry.

Looking at the long line of ghosts, I had to ask all the questions I needed to ask in a few words, because the old lady said that their identity tags were buried under the osmanthus tree. As long as I wrote down their names and matched them to the identity tags, it would be easy for Li Jin to check.

We finally finished registering the grievances and wishes of these ghosts before dawn, and Gongsun Wen was so tired that his hands were almost broken.

He kept whining and saying that he had to take a day off starting today because his hands hurt and he couldn't do anything.

I had no choice but to roll my eyes and ask for leave from His Majesty for him so that he could have a good rest.

As expected, Zhao Zhenyuan dug out a lot of identity plates under the osmanthus tree. We gave him the written paper together with the identity plates and asked him to send someone to deliver them to the Chang'an government office and give them to Li Jin.

The mission has been completed. Zhao Zhenyuan had other things to do, so he left a small team of cavalrymen to escort us back to the palace, and he hurried away with the other cavalrymen.

There was no charcoal tray in the room, and we had been cold all night. Now we were cold, tired, and hungry. We could hardly bear it anymore, so we huddled together in the carriage, shivering.

I said groggily, "Don't say you can't go to work. I can't stand it either. Please tell the dean that I need to take a leave and I won't go to work today."

Gongsun Wen reached out and touched my head, and it was indeed burning hot.

He quickly put his cloak on me, hugged me tightly and said, "Stop talking nonsense. We will go to the palace soon. I will call the imperial physician to treat you then."

I huddled tightly in Gongsun Wen's arms and said, "Sun Yifei, don't send me flowers in the future. Flowers are too expensive and will make my classmates laugh at me. It would be more practical to buy me some food instead."

Gongsun Wen frowned and thought for a while, then finally asked with courage: "Who is Sun Yifei?"

"You don't even know who Sun Yifei is? You're so out of date. He is the son of the dean of my medical school. He is handsome, rich, and most importantly, smart. He always ranks first in the grade in every exam. Oh, I am always ranked second but he always outdoes me. It's so infuriating. The most infuriating thing is that he confessed his love to me before he graduated from graduate school. He said that he liked me, but he had to go abroad for further studies and asked me to wait for him. I have never been in love in my life, but for this promise, I waited for him for almost four years. I have graduated with a doctorate and even started working, but he still hasn't come back." The more I talked, the more wronged I felt, and I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Gongsun Wen's face turned dark when he heard this. He didn't expect that someone would get there first and get there before him. Fortunately, Ah Man traveled through time, otherwise she would have become someone else's wife long ago.

The more Gongsun Wen thought about it, the angrier he got. He hugged her tighter and tighter, angrily saying, "A man like that is not worth waiting for. When you reach the age of marriage, I will ask His Majesty to grant us a marriage. How about that?"

I twisted my body and said, "Sun Yifei, you said in your last message that you would be returning to China soon. So when will you be back? I miss you."

Gongsun Wen almost vomited blood when he heard this. He said angrily, "Don't think about other men. You are mine and only mine."

I was delirious due to the fever and had no idea what I said. After Gongsun Wen sent me into the palace, I refused to leave the palace no matter how Zheng Xian tried to drive me away.

I only had a fever for one night and it went away the next day.

When I woke up, I saw Yiping wiping my face with a towel.

I thought I was dreaming, and murmured, "Whatever I thought came true, Third Sister, I actually saw you again."

Yi Ping said angrily, "You were delirious due to the fever and kept shouting that you wanted to see me, so His Majesty had no choice but to send someone to bring me to the palace."

At this time, Zheng Bang came in with a bowl of shredded chicken porridge and said to me, "Ah Man, my father asked me to bring me some porridge."

I quickly sat up and reached out to touch Yiping's face. It was warm!

I'm not dreaming!

I hugged Yiping and said, "I really miss you, Third Sister."

Yiping reached out and patted me on the back and said, "I know, so I came."

After Yi Ping finished speaking, he gently pushed me away and said, "You must be hungry. Have some porridge first."

I looked at Zheng Bang and said, "Seventh Prince, there are so many servants in this palace, why do you need to serve porridge?"

Zheng Bang said embarrassedly, "The imperial kitchen just sent me some shredded chicken porridge. I thought it tasted good, so I ate it all. When my father found out, he almost beat me up, saying that this porridge was yours, Ah Man. I had no choice but to ask the imperial kitchen to cook you another bowl. To make up for my mistake, I had to bring it to you myself."

Yi Ping rolled her eyes at Zheng Bang and said, "You're eating my second brother's porridge secretly. You're really greedy."

Zheng Bang touched his head embarrassedly and dared not speak.

I saw that Zheng Bang's face had become much rosier and his body had become much stronger. I smiled and said, "Your Highness has been exercising well recently. It's normal to be hungry. Keep going."

When Zheng Bang heard this, he said proudly, "That's right. Not only do I practice martial arts every day, I also take the medicine you prescribed. Now I feel like I have endless energy and I feel refreshed."

Before I could say anything, Zheng Xian came in from outside, pacing. Seeing Zheng Bang holding the bowl, he snorted and said, "Is your father giving you less food or drink every day? You are like a starving ghost every day, and you can never be full no matter how much you eat?"

Wei Yi followed behind Zheng Xian and smiled secretly.

I smiled and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. Your Highness is now in much better health, all thanks to his good appetite. Your Majesty should feel relieved."
