After I got into the drama, I led the plot astray
Chapter 524: Ankang's Whereabouts
After Wei Yi walked out, Zheng Xian said, "Get up. Aren't you tired of kneeling?"
I quickly stood up, rubbed my knees, and said, "I'm tired."
Zheng Xian coughed a few more times and said, "Girl, you come to complain at this time, aren't you afraid that I will be mad at you? That's my son, what will you do if I don't believe you?"
I tilted my head and thought for a while, then said, "If the emperor doesn't believe me, I'll find another way to deal with that thing."
Zheng Xian was so angry that he laughed and said, "Do you think you are arrogant because of your favor?"
I shook my head and said, "I am doing this to help the people get rid of harm."
After hearing this, Zheng Xian fell silent.
In my eyes, Zheng Hao has become a scourge, which Zheng Xian could never have imagined.
At this time Wei Yi came in, followed by Cheng Dazhi.
Cheng Dazhi was not surprised to see me, and he bowed to me respectfully.
Zheng Xian did not let me avoid it and said directly to Cheng Dazhi: "Go and check Yang Guifei for me."
Cheng Dazhi was stunned for a moment, but didn't dare to ask anything, and replied: "Yes, the emperor."
After Cheng Dazhi finished speaking, he turned and left.
I was stunned looking at Cheng Dazhi's back.
That's it?
Why does it feel like the two of them are playing a puzzle? Does Cheng Dazhi understand what Zheng Xian wants to do?
At this time, Zheng Xian waved to Wei Yi, and Wei Yi brought a stool.
Zheng Xian said: "Please sit down. I have something to tell you."
I sat down obediently.
Zheng Xian covered his mouth with a towel and coughed for a while. I saw that the towel was covered in blood.
I just felt my heart tighten, and blurted out: "Your Majesty, can I take your pulse?"
Zheng Xian glanced at me, then obediently stretched out his hand.
I quickly put my hand on it.
After a long while, Zheng Xian asked, "How is it?"
I let go of Zheng Xian's hand and said word by word, "The oil is running out."
As soon as I finished speaking, Wei Yi's face changed and he shouted, "How dare you! The Emperor's orders are as high as the heavens. How can you speak nonsense?"
Zheng Xian waved his hand and said, "You know Ah Man speaks frankly, so why deceive yourself?"
When Wei Yi heard this, tears welled up in his eyes and he choked up, "Your Majesty, it's my fault that I'm useless and can't save you."
Zheng Xian sighed deeply and said, "I have been able to survive until today because Ah Man has done her best. So after I leave, you must treat Ah Man the same way you treated me. Don't let her suffer any injustice."
Wei nodded while crying.
Zheng Xian felt a little tired, so he closed his eyes and rested for a while, then opened his eyes and said, "Ah Man, I don't have much time left, and I have something to say to you before I die."
I said, "Your Majesty, please speak."
Zheng Xian said: "I want to take you as my concubine for your own good. Only when you become the Queen Mother, those people will not dare to touch you because of your status. The future Queen of the Crown Prince can only be Zhao Fangping. Don't ask me why, you will know the reason in due time."
I asked in confusion, "Is it because Zhao Fangping is more scheming and resourceful than me?"
Zheng Xian shook his head and said, "No, you are so smart, you will definitely guess the reason. This is a secret of heaven, I cannot tell you in advance."
I lowered my head and thought without saying anything.
Zheng Xian continued, "Haven't you always been curious about where Ankang went?"
"Are you well?" I quickly raised my head and looked at Zheng Xian.
Zheng Xian coughed a few more times and said, "Ankang replaced the prince of Xihe and went to Xihe State."
"What?" I was so shocked that I almost jumped up. Ankang disguised himself as the Prince of Xihe and was sent to the Kingdom of Xihe?
This move is really cruel. Is it an attempt to subvert the Xihe Kingdom from within?
But Ankang was just a servant, who was neither good at literature nor martial arts. How did Zheng Xian come up with the idea of sending him to Xihe Kingdom disguised as the Prince of Xihe?
Seeing my puzzled face, Zheng Xian covered his mouth with a towel and coughed a few times, then said, "Ankang has a special skill that ordinary people can hardly achieve."
Zheng Xian stopped talking here, as he was tired.
How come I don't know what special skills Ankang has besides being a little stronger?
I looked at Zheng Xian in confusion.
Zheng Xian was obviously exhausted, so Wei Yi quickly brought a bowl of ginseng tea to feed Zheng Xian. After Zheng Xian drank a sip of the ginseng tea, he took a breath and continued, "Ankang has a strong ability to imitate. He has been with Prince Xihe for several months and has almost learned Prince Xihe's language and demeanor. In addition, Prince Xihe's neck was seriously injured. Even if Ankang's voice is a little different, he can just say it was caused by the injury. Therefore, it is not easy to arouse suspicion if Ankang is sent to Xihe State."
Ankang has been with me for so long, but I didn't know he had such ability. I have to say that Zheng Xian is really capable. Even a servant can't escape his eyes.
At this moment, I couldn't help but think of the last time I saw Ankang. His eyes were filled with thousands of words but he couldn't express his sadness to me. I still can't forget it.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Zheng Xian continued, "I tell you this because I know that Ankang has different feelings for you. If one day in the future Ankang appears in front of you in a different identity, you should be mentally prepared."
If Ankang can successfully seize the throne of Xihe State, the thorn in Xihe State will be removed. Zheng Xian's move is really powerful. It turns out that he had thought of a way to deal with Xihe State a long time ago. It seems that the assassination of the Prince of Xihe was also his work, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence?
Zheng Xian talked too much and took a long break before continuing.
At this time, Zheng Yan walked in, bowed respectfully to Zheng Xian, and then said, "Father, there are several ministers outside the door who want to see you."
Zheng Xian nodded and said, "I still have something to say to Ah Man, let them wait for a while."
Zheng Yan received the order and went out to pass on the message.
Zheng Xian looked at me and asked, "Ah Man, is there anything you want?"
I thought about it and said, "I have offended the Fifth Prince, and I am afraid that this cannot be resolved peacefully. I want a bodyguard with great skills."
Zheng Xian knew that I had lost all my martial arts skills after returning from Beixiang with serious injuries, so it was necessary to arrange guards for me.
So Zheng Xian said to Wei Yi, "I remember there is a female secret guard named Qingniao in the secret guard camp. Call her here and let her guard Ah Man from now on."
Wei Yi was stunned when he heard Qingniao's name. Qingniao was a trump card of the Dark Guard Camp. His martial arts were unfathomable and even he himself was a little afraid of him. This trump card should have been reserved for the new king, but now it was given to me.
But Wei Yi certainly didn't dare to object to Zheng Xian's decision, so he waved his hand, and a figure floated out from the darkness. Wei Yi gave a few instructions, and the shadow took his orders and left.
After the black shadow left, Zheng Xian said, "In addition to the blue bird, I have also assigned two other guards to you to protect you when you travel. I know you don't want to be trapped in the palace, so I have given you a token so that you can leave the palace at will without restrictions."
As soon as Zheng Xian finished speaking, Wei Yi took out a black token from his arms and handed it to me.
