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

I said, "Never mind all that. Just listen to me."

I told Gongsun Wen exactly what happened today.

After hearing this, Gongsun Wen clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "You actually ran away today, and you were dressed like this. It seems that you ignored my words. Come on, send the second young master back to the capital."

Huo Ming and Qian Li, who were following behind him, stepped forward quickly. Huo Ming looked around and asked, "Master Gongsun, where is the second young master?"

Gongsun Wen's face darkened immediately when he heard this.

I shook Gongsun Wen's hand and said, "Forget it. I promised Jun Lingfeng that I would go to Shuiyuefang to play a song for him tomorrow."

Gongsun Wen was so angry that he closed his eyes, his fists clenched into a crackling sound, and he suddenly wanted to hit someone. What should he do?

I didn't want to pay attention to Gongsun Wen's murderous expression, and continued, "Jun Lingfeng is a pervert, and he still pretends to be elegant. Apart from him, I can't think of where to start."

Gongsun Wen said bitterly: "I have many ways to deal with this. I don't need you to seduce him at all."

I smiled and said, "I will go to Shuiyuefang to play for him tomorrow and I will take you with me."

Gongsun Wen said angrily: "If you don't take me with you, do you want to die alone?"

After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked in confusion, "Can you play the piano?"

I shook my head and said honestly, "I can't."

Gongsun Wen felt the veins on his forehead throbbing, and he clenched his fists tightly again, gnashing his teeth and asking, "Since you can't play the piano, why did you agree to go to the water workshop to play the piano for Jun Lingfeng?"

I rolled my eyes at him and said, "You are so stupid. If I don't agree to him, how can I catch him alive tomorrow?"

Gongsun Wen came to his senses instantly. He didn't expect that he, who was always so calm in front of others, would lose his composure like this.

He asked angrily, "Are you doing this just to capture him alive tomorrow?"

I said proudly: "Of course, you didn't see how wonderful my performance was today. My expressions and movements were perfect..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Gongsun Wen hurriedly called for a halt, saying, "We have to think carefully about tomorrow's affairs. Don't act rashly. I have gathered more than 30 people today and have made a plan to force my way into the palace. Now the plan has changed, and I have to think of a countermeasure."

Before Gongsun Wen finished speaking, a waiter's voice came from outside: "Sir, the Crown Prince has sent someone to deliver medicine."

When I heard this, I quickly pulled Gongsun Wen onto the bed and said, "You are my father now, lie down and pretend to be sick."

Then I said to Huo Ming and Qian Li, "Hurry up and leave. Don't let the prince's people see us."

Huo Ming and Qian Li quickly jumped out of the window.

Seeing Huo Ming and the others leave, I walked over and opened the door.

In addition to the waiter, there were two strangers standing outside the door, each holding medicine in their hands.

I asked, “What are you doing?”

The waiter said quickly, "This one is the imperial physician sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. He brought medicine to your door and said he wants to treat your father. This one is a waiter from Qingchun Hall, and he is also here to deliver medicine."

I said, "Oh," and said, "Just give me the medicine. My father is too ill to see anyone."

The waiter from Yingchuntang quickly gave me the medicine and went back to report, but the imperial physician sent by Jun Lingfeng insisted on seeing my father, so I had no choice but to bring him in.

I led the imperial physician to the bedside, and saw that Gongsun Wen had a beard, his face was pale and he looked very sick and was about to die.

The imperial physician didn't even need to take Gongsun Wen's pulse; just by looking at his face he could tell that things were not going well.

The imperial physician then pushed the medicine in his hand to me and said, "Miss, your father's illness may not be cured. If he can drink these medicines, boil them in water and give them to him. If he can't drink them, well, we'll just do our best."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, he turned and left.

As soon as the imperial physician left, I quickly closed the door, and Huo Ming and Qian Li, who had jumped out of the window, climbed in through the window again.

I walked to the bed, pulled off Gongsun Wen's beard, and said with a smile, "Of course, I didn't expect that your disguise skills could even fool the imperial physician."

Gongsun Wen sat up, snatched back his beard, and said, "Wei Chang and I are from the same school, so I am naturally good at disguise."

As we were talking, we suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves outside the window, followed by the sound of copper-clad gongs, accompanied by a burst of shouting. I couldn't understand it, but Gongsun Wen said, "The curfew has begun."

There was no curfew in Beixiang Kingdom before, but since Jiang Qianqiu was killed, the king of Beixiang had no place to vent his anger, and after Zhao Zhenyuan and his cavalry were captured, a curfew was imposed.

Gongsun Wen glanced at the window and saw that it was getting dark, so he said to Huo Ming, "Have someone serve the meal. We have to go out again after dinner."

"Yes, Lord Gongsun." Huo Ming took the order and left the guest room.

I asked curiously, "Where are you going?"

Gongsun Wen said, "Don't ask anything. Go to bed and have a rest."

After Gongsun Wen finished speaking, he ignored me, got up, sat at the table, took out his pen and ink, and started drawing and writing again.

When he finished writing, the food came up. He was about to call me to eat, but he saw me sleeping on the bed.

Gongsun Wen looked at me with half of my body lying on the bed like a bear and the other half under the bed, without even taking off my shoes.

Gongsun Wen shook his head helplessly. Seeing that I was not ready yet, he fell face down on the bed and fell asleep.

Gongsun Wen turned me over, took off my shoes, carefully carried me to the bed, covered me with a quilt, and let me fall into a deep sleep.

Huo Ming filled a bowl of rice for Gongsun Wen and asked, "Master Gongsun, are there any changes to tomorrow's plans?"

Gongsun Wen took out the paper he had just drawn, pointed to the picture on it and said, "According to the report from the spies, the structure of the palace is roughly like this. Marshal Zhao may be imprisoned in this place. Let's do this..."

Gongsun Wen explained the plan to Huo Ming in detail. Huo Ming said, "We still have too few people. I'm afraid the rescue will not be easy."

Gongsun Wen shook his head and said, "As long as Ah Man doesn't fall asleep tomorrow, our chances of winning are very high."

Huo Ming glanced at the bed and said, "We have already thought of the retreat plan. If the plan changes, please ask Master Gongsun Wen to take the Second Young Master away, and the two of us will stay behind to cover your retreat."

Gongsun Wen said as he ate: "Everything should be done according to the plan, don't act on your own."

Huo Ming and Qian Li looked at each other, said nothing more, and started eating in silence.

The next day, I slept until dawn and Gongsun Wen, Huo Ming and the others were not in the room.

After a quick wash, I asked someone to bring me breakfast. After I ate, I changed into a new dress and asked the waiter to prepare the carriage to go to Shuiyuefang.

Shuiyuefang is one of the few two-story houses in Beixiang State. The first floor is a tavern and the second floor is a private room, which is specially used for dignitaries to drink and have fun.
