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

When Zheng Xian heard what I said, his frown immediately relaxed, and he said with a smile, "It's not that I don't trust Ah Man, but I think this acupuncture is so physically demanding, it would be good to have Doctor Sun and the Crown Prince to help."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he winked at Wei Yi.

Wei Yi immediately understood what he meant and said, "Your Majesty is right. I will send someone to ask the Crown Prince and Imperial Physician Sun to come and help."

After Wei Yi finished speaking, he walked out quickly and sent someone to invite the prince and Imperial Physician Sun.

After Wei Yi left, Zheng Xian and I were left alone, looking at each other in silence.

Zheng Xian saw that I was a little restrained standing, so he put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "Aman, please sit down, don't stand."

So I pulled over a stool and sat in front of Zheng Xian.

Zheng Xian looked at me and said, "A'man, you have grown taller and more beautiful. I remember that the eighteenth day of the first lunar month is your birthday. After your birthday, you will be fifteen years old. How do you want to hold your coming-of-age ceremony? I will agree to it."

I didn't expect that Zheng Xian actually remembered my birthday. This really surprised me.

I smiled and said, "Others only know that the general's mansion has a fat, crazy, and wild second daughter. Even if I hold a coming-of-age ceremony and let everyone know my true appearance, it is just to increase my own value and marry a good husband. But I am not interested in getting married, and I don't need my husband's family to support me and give me face. The life I want to live, from beginning to end, is just a plain life of a couple for life, growing old together and never leaving each other."

As soon as I finished speaking, Zheng Yan strode in and said loudly: "What a wonderful couple, who will be together for life and stay together till old age."

Zheng Xian glanced at Zheng Yan and said slowly, "Why did the prince come so quickly?"

Zheng Yan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, then said, "Father, I originally wanted to come to you to discuss something, but I didn't expect to meet the person you sent on the way, so I rode here as fast as I could."

Zheng Xian then said "hmm" and waved his hand to let Zheng Yan find a place to sit down and wait for Doctor Sun.

Zheng Yan moved a stool and sat next to me, whispering, "Ah Man, you will be fifteen after the Chinese New Year, and it is time to propose marriage. Do you have someone you like?"

Zheng Yan must have heard the last two sentences I said and thought that I had someone I loved.

I shook my head and said, "Your Highness, Ah Man hasn't found her ideal partner yet and doesn't want to get married so soon. Ah Man is planning to follow General Zhao to the frontier after the New Year and stay in the military camp for a few years before making any decisions."

"Go to the border?" Zheng Xian and Zheng Yan were both surprised and looked at me in disbelief.

They really couldn't understand why I would give up the wealth and glory of the capital and run to that remote border area.

I nodded and said, "Yes, the military camp is the best place to train people, and with General Zhao watching over me, I will learn even more."

Zheng Xian remained silent, but Zheng Yan said anxiously, "I have been in the military camp for more than a year. The food there was very poor, and we had to get up early in the morning for training. If we got up late, we would be punished. Sometimes, in order to track the enemy, we might have to run on horseback for several days. The skin under our crotch was all worn out and bleeding. Ah Man, you have never suffered such hardship. I am afraid you can't bear it."

I knew that life in the military camp was very hard without Zheng Yan telling me, but it was not because of what Zheng Yan said, but because I was a woman, hanging out with a bunch of men all day long, and what I feared most was getting into trouble.

Zheng Yan, this big head, doesn’t even know that I’m a woman. If he knew that I was a woman running into the military camp, he would be scared to death.

Zheng Xian looked at him and said slowly, "What if I don't let you go?"

I bit my lip and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't agree, Ah Man definitely won't dare to go. But Ah Man doesn't want to be a little flower in a greenhouse. What I yearn for is the vast world. I may not be able to become an eagle, but I believe that I will definitely not become a useless person who can only rely on others for everything."

After hearing my passionate words, Zheng Yan almost wanted to applaud me, but when he met Zheng Xian's gloomy eyes, he immediately lowered his head obediently and dared not speak anymore.

Zheng Xian seemed to sigh and said, "Let me think about it for a while. It's the end of the year and I have so many things to do that I can't handle them all. Your matter is not urgent."

I saw that Zheng Xian seemed to be a little impatient, so I didn't dare to say anything more, so I just said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Fortunately, Doctor Sun arrived at this time carrying a large medicine box.

Doctor Sun's back became more bent, and there were many more wrinkles on his face, as if he had aged a lot.

I quickly stood up and saluted Doctor Sun.

However, Imperial Doctor Sun held me down and prevented me from saluting, then he stepped forward and saluted Zheng Xian and Zheng Yan.

Zheng Xian saw Doctor Sun coming, so he said, "Okay, the prince and Doctor Sun are here, let's get started."

I nodded, stood up, holding the silver needle bag in my hand and said, "This time I will give you 108 needles. I may not have enough strength to last until the end. If I can't, I will trouble Doctor Sun to take over and finish the remaining needles."

Zheng Xian frowned and asked, "Is there any difference between the acupuncture used by Doctor Sun and yours?"

I nodded and said, "Of course, the acupuncture I use is guided by white light, so that the poison in your Majesty's body can be completely drawn out. Doctor Sun doesn't use white light, but ordinary acupuncture, so the effect will definitely be different."

Zheng Xian's face darkened. He certainly knew what the consequences of different effects would be, but I continued, "Even if the effect is a little worse, it won't have much impact, because the white light has been paved in front, and the toxins will be almost completely discharged by the end. If they can't be completely discharged, you can continue to take medicine to detoxify."

Zheng Xian really wanted me to finish the acupuncture treatment by myself, but he also knew that it could not be forced. It was not that I didn't want to have acupuncture, but to have 108 needles and to find each acupoint accurately, it would consume a lot of energy and physical strength.

Zheng Xian nodded helplessly.

Doctor Sun said hesitantly, "Ah Man, although I have been doing acupuncture for decades and my skills are quite sophisticated, I am afraid that if something unexpected happens, Your Majesty..."

Doctor Sun didn't dare to say anything more, but his intention was already very clear. If Zheng Xian died in an accident, he would be the culprit and his head would be chopped off even if he had a hundred heads.

In fact, Zheng Xian and the others thought the same. I poured a packet of Ma Fei San into a cup, dissolved it with water, handed it to Zheng Xian and said, "Don't worry, don't you still have me? How could I let Your Majesty get into trouble? I'm just worried that I won't be able to finish the treatment. It's not like I'm not watching you."

Doctor Sun looked at Zheng Xian with some fear. Zheng Xian thought about it, and finally took my cup of water, raised his head, drank the water in the cup, and said, "I believe in Ah Man."
