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

When these ministers saw me, they all came forward and saluted me.

I hadn't adapted to this change in status for a while, and I didn't know how to react when I looked at these ministers.

Yang quickly looked at my sleeves and whispered, "Madam, it's time to tell the nobles to waive their formalities."

I just woke up from a dream and said, "No need to be polite, gentlemen."

After I said this, these ministers dared to straighten their backs and step aside.

I think it’s not a good idea for these ministers to stay here every day from morning to night. The palace doesn’t provide meals, so they will either starve to death or die of exhaustion.

I thought about it and said, "You are not doctors, and staying here will not help. Go back. You all should have official duties to attend to. Doing your job well is the best way to repay the emperor."

These ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to move first.

Since ancient times, when the emperor was seriously ill, the ministers in the court would come to guard him spontaneously, and it seemed to have become a habit. Now I ask them not to guard him, it seems to be against the authority of heaven, and no one dares to do it.

At this time, Zheng Yan came out and saw that the ministers were all standing still. He frowned and said, "You don't even want to listen to what Madam Shufei said?"

One of the ministers stepped forward and bowed to Zheng Yan, saying, "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules."

Zheng Yan's eyes widened and he said, "Rules are made by people. If they are unreasonable, they should be abolished. Why not? And what the Concubine Shu said is right. You are not doctors. Staying here will not be helpful. It will only waste time. Have you had too few official duties recently? Do you want me to give you some more?"

When the ministers heard this, they hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am actually quite busy. I will go back to my duty and handle official business."

Soon, all the ministers guarding the palace left without a single one left.

I bowed to Zheng Yan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for speaking up for Ah Man."

As soon as I said this, Yang pulled my sleeve hard.

But Zheng Yan didn't care much about my self-proclaimed title, and said: "In fact, I also think that it is unnecessary for them to guard here, but it has been like this since ancient times, so I don't want to drive them away. Now that I hear what you say, I feel that they are wasting their time here and not doing their duty properly."

I had no choice but to flatter him and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Unreasonable rules should be abolished. They are too troublesome."

Just as Zheng Yan was about to say something, a servant from Gongsun Wen's mansion hurriedly walked up to Zheng Yan with a token, knelt down, and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your Majesty, please save my master!"

Zheng Yan recognized the servant as one from Gongsun Wen's residence. He asked in confusion, "How is the teacher?"

The servant said quickly, "My master has been drinking non-stop since last night. He refused to listen to anyone's advice. He drank all night and started vomiting blood this morning. After vomiting blood several times, he fainted and has not woken up yet."

Zheng Yan frowned and said, "Teacher is sick and you have to go and ask for a doctor. Why are you begging me for help?"

The servant said quickly, "Your Majesty, I went to invite doctors, but several doctors said they were unable to help. Steward Bao had no choice but to let me take the token to the palace to find the imperial physician, but half of the imperial physicians were out on duty, and the remaining half came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I couldn't find an imperial physician, so I had to come to Your Majesty for help."

Zheng Yan thought about it and knew that this was the truth. There were not many imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau, only a dozen or so. Now more than half of them had come to the Palace of Supreme Harmony. Once the remaining few went out to see patients, the Imperial Medical Bureau really had no one to send.

But Gongsun Wen was his teacher, so he couldn't just stand by and watch him die, so he said, "I understand. I'll send someone to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion right away. You go back first, and the Imperial Physician will be here soon."

After hearing this, the servant kowtowed happily to express his gratitude.

Watching the servant leave, I thought about it and felt that Gongsun Wen must be suffering from a mental illness, and mental illness needs to be treated with a mental illness, so I said to Zheng Yan: "Your Majesty, how about I go to the Taifu Mansion to take a look?"

Zheng Yan knew that I had some medical skills, but it didn't seem reasonable for me to go, so he said, "The emperor must have something important to tell you when he urgently summoned you. You should go see the emperor first."

Regardless of whether Zheng Xian had any important business or not, he must have sent me here to see him first, so I nodded in agreement and followed my eunuch to Zheng Xian's bedroom.

At this time, only Zheng Bang and Zheng Hao were left guarding Zheng Xian's bedroom.

When Zheng Hao saw me, his eyes seemed to be filled with poison and he stared at me viciously.

I don't know how I offended him, but his eyes seemed like he wanted to eat me alive.

When Zheng Bang saw me, he walked up to me happily, took out a beautifully crafted gold hairpin from his bosom and handed it to me, saying, "I ordered someone to make this for you as a gift for your canonization as a concubine. Do you like it?"

I took the hairpin and said, "You sent a lot of gold and silver jewelry yesterday, why are you sending me a hairpin today?"

Zheng Bang said: "This one is different. I made it specially for you. Look at the pattern. It is a phoenix that has just risen from the flames and is now soaring into the sky. I hope you can be like it, not bound by the present, and not trapped by the future."

I looked at Zheng Bang, who was dark and thin, and a head taller than me. My eyes were red. I held the hairpin tightly and said, "You have really grown up and are teaching me a lesson. Don't forget that I am much older than you."

Zheng Bang touched his head and said embarrassedly: "These are all taught to me by Marshal Zhao. I have learned a lot from Marshal Zhao. I saw that you were unhappy these days, so I thought of giving you something that would make you happy."

I picked up the hairpin and waved it in front of Zheng Bang, saying, "I like it very much, thank you. Before, I was still hesitating whether to marry Yi Ping to you, but now it seems that this worry is completely unnecessary. You are a responsible man, and it will definitely be a blessing for Yi Ping if she can marry you in the future."

Zheng Bang is only a boy of twelve or thirteen now, but people in ancient times matured early, and many of them had concubines in their teens. When I said this, Zheng Bang not only did not feel embarrassed, but his whole body seemed to glow, his mouth was almost grinning to his ears, and he kept rubbing his hands and said, "I knew you wouldn't object, Ah Man, but I still have to work hard to make achievements in the army, so that I can be worthy of Sister Yi Ping."

I gently patted Zheng Bang on the shoulder and said, "You are a person of strong character. You will definitely achieve great success in the future. Yiping's future happiness depends on you."

Zheng Bang's face flushed with praise, and he said excitedly: "Don't worry, Ah Man, I will definitely make Sister Yiping happy."

Zheng Hao watched coldly from the side. He just thought that his younger brother was a fool who was fooled by me and even forgot his own last name.

After I finished chatting with Zheng Bang, I took a few steps and suddenly turned around to look at Zheng Hao. I sneered and said, "Your two dog eyes are annoying to look at. If you don't want them anymore, I can have someone dig them out for you."
