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

Zhao Fangping nodded quickly and said, "It tastes good. The taste of this wine is really tempting."

I said, "Then drink a few more glasses. This kind of wine is not often available."

Zhao Fangping drank three more cups in one breath. At this time, her maid Chuchun hurried forward and held Zhao Fangping's hand, whispering: "Miss, don't forget the business."

But Zhao Fangping was already a little drunk and couldn't think of anything important.

Besides, she is still a young girl. Even if she pretends to be deep, her intelligence is still far inferior to that of an older woman like me.

I glared at Chuchun and said, "Your lady is celebrating the New Year here, and you blocked her from drinking a few glasses of wine given by the emperor. Are you dissatisfied with His Majesty?"

Chuchun was so frightened by the big hat I put on her that she immediately knelt down and shouted, "I dare not, I dare not."

I rolled my eyes at her and said, "Go away. Don't come here unless you're summoned. I want to have a good drink with my sister."

Chuchun quickly retreated with several other maids.

We said we were going to drink to our heart's content, but in reality only Zhao Fangping was drinking, and I didn't drink a drop of alcohol.

This silver pot is a pair of mandarin ducks. I filled one side with fruit wine and the other side with tea. The colors look the same and it is almost impossible to tell the real one from the fake one. You can only taste the flavor when you put the drink in your mouth.

I poured all the wine to Zhao Fangping. Zhao Fangping drank it to his heart's content and got drunk quickly.

I looked at Zhao Fangping who was grinning the whole time and asked in a low voice, "Why did you ask me to come here tonight? How do you want to harm me?"

Zhao Fangping touched my face with a smile and said, "I asked you to come here tonight just to frame you for stealing the gift given to me by Concubine Gui. Am I smart?"

I rolled my eyes and said, "You are indeed very smart. What good will it do you to hurt me?"

Zhao Fangping snorted and said, "There are so many benefits. If you are sentenced to death by Concubine Gui, I will be helping her to avenge her. My chances of becoming the ruler of the Eastern Palace will be much better in the future."

Although he is so young, he has a very vicious mind.

I took out a bag of croton powder, which I had specially asked Yingchun to buy. I poured some croton powder into the wine glass, filled it with fruit wine, handed it to Zhao Fangping, and said, "This is the last glass, don't drink too much. Tomorrow is the second day of the Chinese New Year, and you have to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Gui Gui. It would be bad if you are late for entering the palace."

Zhao Fangping took my glass and drank it all, saying loudly: "Not enough, this glass is not enough, I want to drink more."

I picked up the wine jug and stood up, saying, "It's not enough and you can't drink anymore. The wine is all gone. You should rest early."

After saying that, I took the wine jug and left.

When the maids in early spring saw me leave, they hurried into the house and saw Zhao Fangping was so drunk that he was unconscious. He kept talking nonsense and laughing foolishly, but he was drooling.

Chuchun stamped her feet in anger, shook Zhao Fangping, and said, "Miss, didn't you say you framed her? Now that everyone is gone and you are so drunk, what should I do?"

Before Chuchun could finish speaking, Zhao Fangping let out a long fart, followed by a "pop" sound, and then a foul odor.

Chuchun looked at the lady in front of him in disbelief, covering her nose with a horrified expression. The lady, actually, actually pooped? !

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, Zhao Fangping held his stomach and said, "Oh, my stomach hurts."

After Zhao Fangping finished speaking, he actually stood up, took off his pants in front of everyone, squatted on the ground and started to poop!

what! ! !

Several maids were so frightened that they screamed and hurried to pull Zhao Fangping, but Zhao Fangping defecated all over the floor. Everyone was nauseated and the place was in chaos.

I limped out of the courtyard and saw Yingchun waiting outside the gate.

I looked at Yingchun, whose hat was covered in snow, and said unhappily, "Didn't I tell you not to follow me? Why are you here?"

Yingchun silently put the cloak on me and said, "I was worried about the Second Young Master, so I came to pick him up."

I sighed and said, "It's cold outside, why don't you wait inside?"

Yingchun said, "They wouldn't let me in."

I paused and felt that feeding Zhao Fangping croton oil was too kind. I should give her arsenic instead.

Yingchun supported me and walked me step by step towards my own yard.

When I returned to my yard, I was surprised to see Gongsun Wen drinking tea leisurely in my room.

I looked at Gongsun Wen and asked in confusion, "Shouldn't you be in the palace? Why are you here again?"

Gongsun Wen put down his teacup and said slowly, "You promised to make me something delicious."

I'm just eating. It's already this late and I'm still busy eating.

I said anxiously, "My father has not returned since he was summoned to the palace. How could you leave the palace?"

Gongsun Wen said, "Please ask someone to serve the meal. I'm hungry."

There was no choice but to ask Yingchun to set the table.

After the food was served, Gongsun Wen said, "I heard that His Majesty gave you a lot of fruit wine. Why don't you give me some to try?"

I had no choice but to ask Yingchun to get some wine and bring up a pot of each flavor.

Gongsun Wen drank a sip of fruit wine and ate a bite of hot food. He felt comfortable and then said, "Do you know why General Du and I were able to return so quickly after going to the fishing village to suppress the bandits?"

I shook my head in confusion.

Gongsun Wen put down his wine glass, frowned so hard that a fly could be pinched to death, and paused for a long time before saying, "In fact, there are only a few tens of thousands of rebels left in that fishing village, and some of them are disabled and can no longer go to the battlefield."

I was shocked when I heard this and asked, "Could it be that Grand Tutor Gui had already moved the people away?"

Gongsun Wen nodded and said, "This is exactly what your majesty is worried about. Grand Tutor Gui had noticed this long ago, so he transferred some of the strong rebels who could fight in the battlefield to other places. Now that we have torn our faces with Grand Tutor Gui, your majesty is afraid that Grand Tutor Gui will start a mutiny, so he summoned me and Marshal Zhao to the palace to discuss this matter."

I thought about it and said, "No wonder I didn't see Grand Tutor Gui when I went to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to cause trouble a few days ago. Could it be that he left the capital?"

Gongsun Wen nodded and said, "According to the spies' report, Grand Tutor Gui is very likely to have left the capital. And Grand Tutor Gui's hasty departure from the capital is closely related to your constant presence at my house to cause trouble."

I rolled my eyes and said, "Don't talk nonsense. He might have left the capital because his plan was exposed and he was afraid that His Majesty would make trouble. That's why he had to leave."

Gongsun Wen ate his food and drank wine with great relish.

I didn't get to eat anything at Zhao Fangping's place, and my stomach was growling with hunger, so I picked up the bowl and started eating.

After Gongsun Wen drank a glass of wine, he said, "The capital is not peaceful right now. His Majesty is so worried that he even cancelled the fireworks display on New Year's Eve. I'm afraid your father won't be able to return home for a long time."

I bit my chopsticks and said, "No wonder all the cavalry troops in the mansion disappeared."

Gongsun Wen said: "The Imperial Guards have been reorganized. Marshal Zhao's 5,000 cavalry have been assigned to the Imperial Guards. Some of the cavalry have even entered the Privy Council. Your Majesty vows to guard the entire capital like an iron barrel and prevent Grand Tutor Gui from making any moves."
