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

Zheng Xian wouldn't let me leave the palace. Now that I'm well again, I'm so bored in the palace that I almost feel like going crazy.

I wanted to go to the riding arena, but Zheng Xian was afraid that I would fall off the horse if I rode a fast horse, so he asked me to ride Xiao Huihui and stroll slowly in the large square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He also sent a dozen eunuchs to follow me, for fear that I would fall off the horse.

I was riding a horse, with a long line of people running around to protect me. I couldn't bear the thought of it, so I gave up.

I wanted to go to Fengyi Palace to chat with He Wan'er, but Zheng Xian said that the Queen was busy and it would be inappropriate to disturb her all the time. If I was bored, I could go to the Imperial Garden to relax. It was spring now and the flowers and trees were beginning to bloom, so the scenery was very nice.

I have visited the Imperial Garden countless times, and I can almost memorize the location of every tree and every stone. No matter how beautiful a garden is, it will become boring if you visit it every day.

When Zheng Xian saw that I was depressed, he suddenly remembered that I had a younger sister in the palace. However, my sister had to go to the East Palace to accompany the prince every day, firstly to enhance their relationship, and secondly to learn how to be a crown princess. It was not very convenient to summon her to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but I could go to the East Palace to play with her, so that I would not feel bored.

I really want to thank Zheng Xian. Although Zhao Shengping and Zhao Fangping are half sisters, they are at loggerheads with each other. Whenever they meet, they want to bite each other. So you want me to go find Zhao Fangping to relieve my boredom? I don't think that's pushing me into a fire pit, right?

But since Zheng Xian had spoken, I had to obey. After breakfast, I took a carriage to the East Palace.

Although Grand Tutor Gui had fallen, Imperial Concubine Gui was not implicated and still held the honorable title of Imperial Concubine. Therefore, Zhao Fangping could continue to rely on Imperial Concubine Gui, cling to Zheng Yan, and firmly hold on to the good card of the future Crown Princess.

Seeing that I looked listless and not as happy as I was about to meet the Third Young Lady, Yingchun couldn't help but ask curiously, "Second Young Master, don't you want to meet the Fourth Young Lady?"

Yingchun has served me for quite a while, but I have never told her about the feud between Zhao Shengping and Zhao Fangping. When she asked me this, I slammed my hand on the coffee table, causing the teapot and teacups on the table to bang. I gritted my teeth and said, "It's weird that someone who hurt you wants to see you."

Yingchun was shocked and asked quickly, "Did the fourth young lady harm the second young master? How did she do it?"

I sneered and said, "I was still a fat and stupid pig at that time. One time, Zhao Fangping tricked me into the garden, saying that there was delicious food waiting for me. As a result, I left the garden excitedly, but there was nothing to eat. There were only a dozen maids and old women waiting for me. They grabbed my hands and pressed me to the ground to crawl like a dog. They also pressed my head to the ground to eat mud, kicked me and beat me at will, and finally pushed me into the rockery. A big hole was knocked through my head and a lot of blood flowed. Zhao Fangping watched from the side and laughed happily. I was unconscious in bed for many days, and no one asked the queen to come and see me."

This is how Zhao Shengping died, but I can’t say this.

Yingchun opened her mouth wide for a long time and couldn't say anything. After finally coming to her senses, she murmured, "The nobles in the palace are not as cruel as the fourth lady in their quest for favor."

I glanced at Yingchun, snorted coldly, and said, "Why would I want to meet someone like this?"

Yingchun said, "When we were at the general's mansion, I noticed that you three brothers and the fourth young lady were not getting along. I thought it was because you had different mothers, but I didn't expect there was such a deep reason."

At this point, I punched the tea table again, causing several teacups to fall down. Yingchun was so frightened that she rushed to catch them. Fortunately, the tea table was low and the teacups did not break when they fell on the wooden floor, otherwise this set of priceless teacups would have been ruined.

I said bitterly, "Gui Lanting is a thousand times more vicious than Zhao Fangping. My grandmother was killed by her. The evil deeds done by this mother and daughter are too numerous to list."

Such a vicious person is actually the future crown princess. If she ascends to the throne of empress in the future, how can they have a good life? Just thinking about it makes me shudder.

Yingchun couldn't help but shudder and said, "Second Young Master, why don't we go back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony? We shouldn't mess with people like her. If she becomes the Queen in the future, our lives will be difficult."

I rolled my eyes at Yingchun and said, "Do you think I'm a coward?"

Yingchun didn't dare to retort, but thought to herself, yes, you are not a person who is afraid of things, you are a person who is only afraid that there are not enough things to do.

The carriage soon arrived outside the gate of the East Palace. The carriage I was riding in had a sign of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. When the East Palace guards saw the carriage, they all knelt down in unison even though they didn't know who was sitting in it.

I got off the carriage and whispered, "Everyone, get up. Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace?"

I have been in the palace for so long and live in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I am with Your Majesty every day, and there is almost no one in the palace who doesn't know me.

One of the guards quickly stepped forward and replied, "Your Excellency, the Crown Prince has just returned from court and is in the palace."

I nodded and said, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you to lead the way."

Although the Eastern Palace is not as big as the Hall of Supreme Harmony, it is the largest palace besides the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I have never been here before, and if I were to go in by myself, I would probably get lost.

When the guard heard me being so gentle and polite, he immediately smiled happily and said, "Please, sir."

The guard led the way in front, and Yingchun and I followed behind. Maybe the guard knew that I was seriously injured, so he didn't dare to walk too fast, and he would stop and wait for me after walking a few steps. The service was really thoughtful.

After living in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a long time, I seem to have become immune to the luxurious furnishings of the Eastern Palace. In my eyes, the huge night-shining pearl seems to be just a plastic bead that does not cause any waves.

The East Palace is just like the Hall of Supreme Harmony, with guards every three steps and five steps. When I walked over, all the guards saluted me with their fists clasped. I must have been very uncomfortable with it before, but after living in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a long time, I have long been accustomed to it. As expected, habit is a terrible thing.

The guard took me to Zheng Yan's study. The guard in front of the study door went in to report. I thought I had to wait at the door for the report, but Zheng Yan ran out in a hurry not long after the guard went in. When he saw me, he shouted happily: "Aman, why are you here?"

I didn't expect Zheng Yan to be so generous, and I couldn't help but say cheerfully, "I was a little bored in the Imperial Palace, so your father asked me to come and play with you."

Of course I didn't dare tell Zheng Yan that I was here to see Zhao Fangping. Seeing how excited he was, he must have thought that I was here to see him.

As expected, Zheng Yan was even happier when he heard that I came to see him on purpose. He grabbed my hand and dragged me into the study, saying as we walked, "Come on, come on, eat something with me."

Ah? He was so happy to see me, so he wanted me to have dinner with him?
