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

Chapter 460: What is the function of the white beads?

Yingchun said, "Concubine He was only scratched on the left arm by the arrow and was a little frightened. The imperial physician gave her medicine and said that she just needed to rest more."

Was it just a scratch? Seeing the way he was carried back, I thought he was going to die.

I asked, "Has the Ninth Prince been taken back by Concubine He?"

Yingchun nodded and said, "Yes, Concubine He said she was afraid of disturbing the Second Young Master's recovery, so she took the Ninth Prince over."

There were two more wounded people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Imperial Physician Sun was very busy. He already had a lot of work to do, and now he had to come to see patients every morning and evening. He couldn't even be lazy. He was so tired that he even had a lot of white hair.

It was a long time after dinner when Doctor Sun appeared in my room, looking cold. He didn't even bother to drink a sip of hot tea. He felt my pulse, prescribed several kinds of pills, and was about to leave with his medicine box.

I grabbed his medicine box and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Doctor Sun glanced outside the door and whispered, "Many people were injured during the sacrifice today, and several officials died. The scene was so chaotic that I am still terrified when I think about it now. Many of the injured were sent to the Imperial Medical Bureau, but many of the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau were sent out to treat the plague and have not returned to the capital. There are only a few doctors left in the capital, and I am so busy now that I have no time to rest."

I thought about it and said, "You can recruit more young, energetic, and hardworking doctors to help in the Imperial Hospital."

Doctor Sun shook his head and said, "It is not up to me to decide whether the Imperial Medical Office recruits new doctors. This requires the approval of Your Majesty. However, we are really short of manpower right now. When Your Majesty is in a better mood, I will bring it up with Your Majesty."

After Doctor Sun finished speaking, he pulled my hand away and turned away.

I haven't seen Zheng Xian since this morning, and I think he's still in Jinxiu Palace. I was more interested in what happened during the sacrifice, so with Yingchun's help, I went to He Wan'er's room.

He Wan'er was sitting on the bed drinking herbal medicine, while the Ninth Prince was crawling around on the bed. An old maid stood by the bed and looked at the Ninth Prince nervously, shouting, "My Lord, please don't crawl so fast. What if you bump into something?"

The one who served He Wan'er the medicine was a young palace maid who was acquainted with Yingchun. When she saw us come in, she hurriedly bowed to me with a smile, then pulled Yingchun over to stand aside and whispered to her.

When He Wan'er saw that it was me, she quickly put down the medicine and said with a smile, "Why are you here, Ah Man? You are so badly injured, you should rest well in your room."

I handed over the hundred-year-old ginseng that the prince had given me, and said with a smile, "I heard that you were injured, so I came to see you specially."

He Wan looked at the ginseng in my hand that was thicker than a baby's arm, and quickly pushed it away with her hand, saying, "My arm was only scratched by the arrow, and there was no vital injury. I don't want such a valuable ginseng, you can keep it to nourish your body."

I stuffed the ginseng into He Wan'er's hand and said, "It's freezing cold. Take it and ask someone to make you some ginseng chicken soup. It will warm your body."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, He Wan'er had to accept it with a smile.

He Wan'er patted the stool in front of her bed and motioned for me to sit down.

As soon as I sat down, He Wan'er asked, "Actually, you came here this time to ask what happened during the sacrifice, right?"

I was shocked. I didn't expect He Wan'er to be so smart.

I looked at He Wan'er and said awkwardly, "You figured this out."

He Wan'er patted the back of my hand and said with an expression that I understood: "In this deep palace, if you don't have some gossip to listen to, life will be so miserable, don't you think?"

I couldn't help but cough a few times and said, "Yes, yes, you are right."

Seeing that we two seemed to want to have a long chat, the old nanny quickly took the ninth prince away, saying that she was taking him to feed the cow. When Yingchun and the little palace maid saw the old nanny leave, they also walked out of the room hand in hand.

The room suddenly became quiet. He Wan'er looked at me and asked, "You reminded me last night to be careful today. How did you know that something was going to happen today?"

When He Wan'er came to chat with me last night holding the Ninth Prince, I did remind her that there might be accidents during today's sacrifice and asked her to be careful.

After I finished saying these words to He Wan'er, I forgot about them and didn't even remind Zheng Xian.

When He Wan'er asked me about it, I was confused for a long time. How did I know that?

It took me a long time to figure it out. At that time, some confusing images flashed through my mind. I seemed to see He Wan'er injured, Zheng Xian roaring, and Du Changfeng fighting with the enemy. But these images only flashed through my mind. At that time, I blurted out that He Wan'er should be careful when she went to the sacrifice, and then I forgot everything.

Now that He Wan'er asked me, I realized belatedly that those scenes were actually things that would happen in the future.

Unfortunately, the images flashed too quickly and were not continuous, so I couldn't remember what I saw afterwards.

Could this be the aftereffect of the bead Li Yan gave me to eat?

Last time, the black bead made me see ghosts. Can this white bead let me see the future?

It’s incredible to think about it.

I was lost in thought when He Wan'er suddenly tugged at my sleeve and called out softly, "Ah Man, Ah Man!"

I came back to my senses when she called me, and I quickly said "Oh", "I don't know either. I just felt that something was going to go wrong with the sacrifice, so I told you without thinking. I didn't expect that something would really go wrong. Even His Majesty didn't know about this, and I don't know how to explain it to His Majesty."

Indeed, this matter has become too big. If I really knew something in advance and reminded Zheng Xian in time, the Misty Rain Tower would not be stained with blood today, and even the sacrificial ceremony could not be held.

Seeing that I looked worried, He Wan'er could only comfort me, "You are not to blame for this. You don't need to blame yourself. But His Majesty is in a bad mood. You have to be careful not to anger him, or you will be scolded."

As soon as He Wan'er finished speaking, Zheng Xian's voice rang out from outside: "What trouble has Ah Man gotten into again?"

I was so scared when I heard that that I almost jumped up, but luckily I was still injured and my legs were not flexible, so I couldn't jump up.

Originally, I wanted to find He Wan'er to gossip about the sacrificial ceremony, but I didn't expect to run into Zheng Xian. This is not a good sign.

I quickly said, "I have been in the temple all day and behaved very well. How could I have gotten into trouble?"

At this time, the old nanny sent the Ninth Prince back and said softly, "My Lady, His Highness is going to sleep."

I had no choice but to stand up and said, "Your Highness, please have a good rest. Ah Man will take his leave first."

He Wan'er glanced at the door worriedly and whispered, "You should also go back to your room and rest. From what I heard from His Majesty just now, he seems to be in a bad mood. Don't let him get angry."

I nodded and said, "I understand."

After saying that, I put my hand on Yingchun's arm and walked out slowly.

As a result, as soon as I walked to the door, I saw Zheng Xian standing outside the door. He looked exhausted and his face was darker than the bottom of a pot, staring at me.
