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

Du Changfeng continued, "Although I don't know why Princess Mingzhu came to visit today, I guess it's definitely not a simple visit. Mingzhu looks innocent and lively on the surface, but in fact she is very scheming. His Majesty didn't want you two to have too much contact, so he agreed to let you leave the palace to recuperate, but I didn't expect her to follow you outside the palace."

I took a deep breath, and the anger in my chest slowly subsided.

I gritted my teeth and asked, "Mingzhu said that the queen will not live for many days. Is it true?"

Du Changfeng said, "Your Majesty was mindful that the Queen was the Prince's biological mother after all, so he didn't want to be too harsh. After giving her a bowl of poison, he finally sent Imperial Doctor Sun to detoxify her. If the mother and daughter could calm down in time, the Queen's poison could be cured."

I sneered and said, "So Mingzhu is a complete liar who has been deceiving me all along."

Du Changfeng glanced at me and said, "I don't know what Princess Mingzhu said to you that made you so depressed, but I can tell you for sure that you are His Majesty's Achilles' heel, and no one can touch you. If anyone wants to harm you, His Majesty will definitely not show mercy."

Why is Zheng Xian so nice to me? How could I not know it?

If he killed me, wouldn't that be the same as destroying his kingdom? How could he let go of the person who destroyed his kingdom?

But I will never let Mingzhu off the hook. Not only did she set her sights on me, she also came to me and acted pitiful to gain sympathy, causing me to waste so much time and energy on her. It was so despicable.

Seeing that I had regained some spirit, Du Changfeng happily patted the snow off his body and said, "Mother asked when you will stay at her house for a few days. She has been looking forward to your visit."

Mrs. Du's kindness to us is genuine and without any utilitarian purpose, which is why I feel at ease letting Yiping get reunited with their family.

I still understand the principle of returning a favor.

So I said, "I'll go there after I finish dealing with the things in this house in the next two days."

Du Changfeng said, "Okay." He patted my shoulder and said, "Go back to the house quickly and don't let your sister worry."

After Du Changfeng finished speaking, he jumped lightly off the tree, then raised his head, waved at me, and left in a cool manner.

When I saw Du Changfeng leaving, I jumped down. However, I didn’t expect that I had been sitting for too long and my legs were a little stiff. I lost my balance and fell flat on my face!

I climbed up with difficulty and heard laughter behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Gongsun Wen who was looking at me and laughing uncontrollably.

I was so angry that I grabbed a handful of snow and threw it at him, shouting, "You saw me fall down and didn't come to help me. Instead, you were just laughing. What the hell are you laughing at?"

Gongsun Wen shook his head and said, "Vulgar, indeed vulgar."

I stood up shakily and said, "Get lost, you vulgar man."

At this time, Yingchun and Yiping appeared from nowhere and supported me on my left and right.

Gongsun Wen said, "I am hungry."

Seeing his pitiful appearance, I wanted to kick him and said unhappily, "If you are hungry, can't you go back to the Taifu Mansion to eat?"

Gongsun Wen rolled his eyes at me and said, "I was just doing my errands nearby, and I ran back to the Taifu Mansion to eat. Do you think I'm as stupid as you?"

Well, arguing with him will only make you angry to death.

With the support of Yingchun and Yiping, I slowly walked towards the main house, not wanting to pay any attention to this idiot.

Gongsun Wen followed me, and when he saw that I ignored him, he couldn't help but shout again: "I'm hungry."

I still ignored him.

Yingchun couldn't help herself and tried to hold back her laughter, saying, "Don't worry, Lord Gongsun. We'll get you something to eat after we help the Second Young Master back to the house."

Gongsun Wen didn't respond. He didn't want to talk to anyone except me and always maintained his cool personality.

Back in the house, Yingchun went to bring food, and Yiping went to bring me hot water for soaking my hands.

Gongsun Wen sat next to me, glanced at me, and said, "Are you stupid? Why do you always jump up the tree in such a cold weather?"

I said angrily: "What do you care!"

Gongsun Wen snorted coldly and said, "If no one cared about you, you would have died hundreds of times earlier."

We were arguing when Zheng Bang walked in excitedly. He was about to call Yi Ping when he saw Gongsun Wen. He shrank back and wanted to run out, but then he thought it was inappropriate. He then walked up to Gongsun Wen, bowed, and called out, "Hello, Grand Tutor."

Gongsun Wen hummed, then said perfunctorily: "Hello, Seventh Prince."

After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something, looked at Zheng Bang and asked, "There will be a grand sacrifice tomorrow, why did you leave the palace?"

There will be a big sacrifice tomorrow?

I suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked, "What will happen if the Seventh Prince is not here to perform the sacrifice tomorrow?"

Gongsun Wen said, "Tomorrow the whole royal family will pay respect to their ancestors. Anyone who is still alive must go back, even the Fifth Prince and Yang Guifei must rush back from the villa. If the Seventh Prince is not there, it will surely incur the wrath of His Majesty, and the consequences will be disastrous."

"It's poisonous. Really poisonous." I murmured.

"What did you say was really poisonous?" Gongsun Wen asked in confusion.

I told him everything about Mingzhu.

Gongsun Wen smiled coldly and said, "Your Majesty is not in good health, but your brain is not bad. If you do bad things under your Majesty's nose, you will be courting death."

I glanced at Zheng Bang who was about to slip away, grabbed him and asked, "Why did you leave the palace with Mingzhu?"

Zheng Bang looked at Gongsun Wen timidly, and then whispered: "At that time, I was still studying and doing homework in my own palace. Sister Mingzhu came to my palace and told me to take me to find Sister Yiping. I followed her out of the palace."

Everyone knows that Yi Ping is Zheng Bang’s weak spot. If they want to deceive him, they just need to bring Yi Ping out.

Unexpectedly, Mingzhu was able to kill two birds with one stone quite well.

Gongsun Wen said, "Fortunately, the grand sacrifice is tomorrow. I will send the Fifth Prince back to the palace right away."

Zheng Bang was not happy when he heard this. He said, "I won't go back to the palace. How can I be as free as I am here? Besides, the food there is terrible. I don't have enough to eat every day."

I said unhappily, "It's better to be hungry than to have nothing to eat in the future, right?"

Zheng Bang looked at me in confusion and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

I said, "What I mean is, if you don't go back, the Lord of Heaven won't be able to find you tomorrow, and your head will have to be moved. What will you eat if you lose your life?"

When Zheng Bang heard this, it seemed to make sense.

He looked at Yi Ping aggrievedly and said, "After the sacrifice tomorrow, can you take me back?"

Gongsun Wen immediately said, "No, after the big sacrifice, there will be many small sacrifices. You can't leave the palace before the New Year."

Zheng Bang almost cried after hearing this.

Yi Ping, who was standing by, had no choice but to say, "Seventh Prince, I will make some delicious food for you every day and send it to the palace. You should stay in the palace and don't run around, otherwise it will anger His Majesty."
