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

Zheng Xian glanced at Zheng Bang and found that his little boy looked much better. He was no longer as sickly as before, looking as if he was about to die.

But Zheng Xian still deliberately said with a stern face: "Put down the porridge and hurry back to your palace. Read more books. The Imperial College will open for examinations after the new year. Don't embarrass me."

Zheng Xian originally thought that Zheng Bang was cheating. In the past, asking him to read books was like asking his life to die. He was always the last in the class in every exam, which was so embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Bang nodded and said, "Father is right. I still have ten pieces of calligraphy to do today. I have to go back and practice calligraphy."

Zheng Bang handed the porridge to Yiping, turned around and ran away quickly.

Zheng Xian looked at his son who seemed to have changed into a different person, and was a little overwhelmed. He turned his head and asked Wei Yi: "Little Wei, has my son been switched?"

Wei Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it is a good thing that the Seventh Prince has changed his personality."

At this moment, a guard walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, there is urgent news from the border."

When Zheng Xian heard this, his face immediately darkened. He threw his sleeves away and strode out.

After Zheng Xian went out, He Wan'er came in holding the Ninth Prince.

After two days of careful care, His Highness the Ninth Prince is now able to open his eyes wide and babble.

He Wan'er walked to my bedside, bowed to me, and said, "Second Master Zhao, are you feeling better?"

I touched my forehead and said, "My fever has gone down. I'm fine now."

He Wan'er smiled and said, "When Lord Gongsun brought Mr. Zhao in yesterday, I was terrified. I thought he was seriously injured, but later I found out he had a fever and fainted."

I didn't expect that Gongsun Wen would carry me in. That was really embarrassing.

I took the bowl from Yi Ping, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm fine, you're so thoughtful, how is His Highness the Ninth Prince now?"

He Wan'er held the Ninth Prince in her arms and came closer to me, saying, "The Ninth Prince is so well behaved, he even smiles at me, Second Young Master Zhao, look at that."

His Highness the Ninth Prince was indeed grinning at us.

I couldn't help but reach out and touch his face, saying, "What an angel baby, he actually smiled at me."

He Wan'er smiled and said, "I heard that the Ninth Prince was rescued by the Second Young Master Zhao. The Ninth Prince is expressing his gratitude to the Second Young Master."

My face changed. This was the past event I least wanted to recall.

I vowed to save Concubine Yu and her son, but Concubine Yu died of heavy bleeding and only the Ninth Prince survived. This was the most embarrassing experience in my medical career. I felt sorry for Zheng Xian and Gongsun Wen, and even more sorry for Concubine Yu.

If He Wan'er hadn't mentioned it, I would have lied to myself and said that I had forgotten about it.

He Wan'er was shocked to see my face suddenly turn ugly, thinking that something was wrong with my body, and asked hurriedly: "Second Master Zhao, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call the imperial physician?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm hungry. Let me eat something first."

Yiping had been standing beside me silently, but when he saw that I suddenly looked weak, he quickly took the bowl and said, "I'll feed you."

He Wan'er said tactfully, "Then I will take my leave first. I will come back to visit you when you feel better."

I nodded without saying anything.

After He Wan'er left, Gongsun Wen came in. Seeing me eating porridge, he sat down at the tea table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "You've been sleeping all day. After I sent you back to the palace, you've been busy by His Majesty until now. I'm tired and hungry. If this continues, I'm afraid I'll really have to report to the King of Hell soon."

I swallowed the porridge and said, "You are very strong. No matter who dies, you will not die."

There were snacks on the tea table. Gongsun Wen picked up a piece of milk cake, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it before asking, "Who is He Yifei?"

I was so scared that I almost spit out the porridge in my mouth. I swallowed it with great effort, coughed violently a few times, and asked, "How do you know He Yifei?"

Gongsun Wen smiled coldly and said, "From your appearance, it seems that you have a close relationship with him."

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "Of course, he was the only person I wanted to marry in my previous life. Do you think the relationship is superficial?"

Gongsun Wen didn't expect me to be so straightforward, and he almost dropped the tea bowl in his hand.

He calmed himself down, stood up as if nothing had happened, and said, "That's very good, very good."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

After he left, Yi Ping said, "Second sister, do you think Lord Gongsun is weird? He just left and took the tea bowl with him."

I looked at the table and found that a tea bowl was missing.

I said, "That tea bowl is not ours, why should we care about it?"

Yi Ping fed me the last mouthful of porridge and said, "You are right. Are you tired? Why don't you take a rest first? A palace maid will bring medicine later. I will call you then."

I did feel a little weak, so I nodded and said, "Then I'll sleep for a while. Call me when the medicine is ready."

I lay down, Yiping tucked the quilt in for me, took the bowl and went out.

As soon as I lay down, I heard a shouting in my ears. I opened my eyes and saw that everything around me was white and I couldn’t see anything clearly.

I stretched out my hand to drive away the white mist and walked forward carefully. Not long after, the view in front of me suddenly became clear, and what appeared before me was a large field of red spider lilies!

Looking at the familiar endless fields of red spider lilies in front of me, my heart couldn't help but skip a beat. Am I going to the underworld again?

Before I could figure it out, two ghost messengers floated in front of me and looked me over carefully. One of them said, "This new ghost is quite self-aware. He came down to the underworld to report before we could catch him."

Another ghost officer said, "Really? There have been too many deaths recently, and we brothers have been running around all day catching ghosts. We are exhausted."

"Stop talking and get to work. This ghost seems to have died of old age and can be reincarnated first. We just need to lead her to the Forgotten River and send her on the boat." After the ghost said this, he picked up the black chain in his hand and wanted to tie me up.

I quickly shouted, "I'm not dead, don't arrest me."

A ghost sneered and said, "I have seen many ghosts like you who are greedy for the world. Come with us quickly, or you will miss this ferry and you will have to wait for many years for the next one."

After the ghost said this, he picked up the chain and put it on me.

I was so scared that I ran away, shouting, "Li Yan, please save me! Someone is trying to catch me."

The red spider lilies flew away from me so quickly that I didn't step on a single one as I ran past them.

When the two ghost messengers heard me shouting, they stopped and looked at each other, saying in unison, "She actually knows the river god?"

At this moment, Li Yan's figure floated down from the sky, and his voice came slowly: "Who dares to shout by the Forgotten River?"
