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

Chapter 540: Leaving the Palace to Welcome the Emperor

I gritted my teeth and said, "Can't you just let me rest for a few days? My butt is still hurt."

Wei Yi had long been accustomed to my straightforwardness, so he automatically ignored the words "injured butt" and said directly: "No, tomorrow is the day when His Majesty returns to the palace, and you should go to meet him."

I covered my butt with one hand and pointed at Wei Yi with the other, saying angrily, "I am nothing, why do you want me to go and help?"

Wei Yi said slowly, "Given your tendency to easily cause trouble, you will definitely be able to lure out the remaining rebels."

I......

There was no room for me to resist.

I had no choice but to say, "Okay then. I'll send someone to tell you tomorrow after I leave the palace."

Wei Yi said: "No, I will come to pick you up from the palace tomorrow."

This doesn't even give me time to delay.

I was very angry but couldn't say it. I turned around and asked Yang to count the number of people and prepare to return to the hall.

I brought more than a dozen eunuchs and palace maids with me, but now there are only seven or eight left. The palace maid who was shot by an arrow for me was abandoned to the side, lying face down on the ground, and I didn't know whether she was alive or dead.

I covered my butt which was burning as if it was burned by fire and asked someone to drag the palace maid over. I took her pulse and luckily she was still alive.

Two soldiers of the Black Feather Army died, and the remaining six were all injured and sent to the Imperial Medical Office for treatment.

Our group went straight back to Shengping Palace and sent someone to invite the imperial physician to the palace for a consultation.

Yingchun and I injured our buttocks, but luckily it wasn't serious. After applying some medicine, the burning sensation finally disappeared. But it's embarrassing to have an injury in such a part of the body. We couldn't sit down or lie down, so we could only sleep on our stomachs.

Early the next morning, before I got up, Yang came running to me and said that Chief Steward Wei had sent someone to deliver a message and that we would set off in a quarter of an hour.

I glanced out the window and saw that it was just getting light. It was summer now, so if it was just getting light, wouldn't that mean it was four or five in the morning?

Damn it, are you going to let me live?

I pushed Yang away and said, "I won't get up. Don't call me. My butt hurt all night. I didn't sleep well. If they want to leave, let them go first. I'll come right after."

Yang was extremely anxious, but she didn't dare to pull me up by force, so she had to run out again to pass on the message.

But this time Wei Yi directly sent a eunuch over. Although the eunuch did not dare to enter the room, he stood guard in front of the door, as if he would not leave until I got up.

The status of this eunuch is not low, second only to Wei Yi. He is the deputy chief eunuch, in charge of the personnel and affairs arrangements of the eunuchs in the harem. If you offend him, your life in the harem will probably not be easy.

I had no choice but to be woken up with sleepy eyes, changed clothes, combed my hair, and washed up. I didn't even have time to eat breakfast before I was pushed into the carriage.

We were going to Shili Pavilion to welcome Zheng Yan back to the palace. It would take about half an hour to get from the imperial city to Shili Pavilion by carriage. I fell asleep as soon as I got on the carriage. When I woke up, I pulled open the curtain and saw that the sun was already high in the sky!

I......

He left home early in the morning and rushed to Shili Pavilion to welcome Zheng Yan, but Zheng Yan and his companions didn't arrive until noon. I really wonder if Wei Yi was out of his mind.

When Yang saw that I woke up, she hurried over to help me off the horse.

There is a real pavilion called Shili Pavilion. It is built next to the official road. There is a plaque hanging on the pavilion with three big characters "Shili Pavilion" inscribed on it.

There is wilderness all around Shili Pavilion. Looking around, there is no one living there. There are a few trees here and there in the distance. When the wind blows, a few birds occasionally fly up from the trees, giving a feeling of "endless smoke and endless sand".

I got angry when I saw Wei Yi and Cheng Dazhi sitting in the pavilion drinking tea, looking so leisurely and contented. They woke me up so early in the morning. I was starving, but they were having a lot of free time.

I turned around and asked Yang: "Did you bring me anything to eat?"

Yang said quickly, "Your Majesty, the food is on the carriage. I will get it for you right away."

Yingchun was injured, and I didn't let her follow us. The palace maid who blocked the arrow for me was seriously injured, so I asked Yingchun to take care of her.

Soon, Yang carried a food basket down from the carriage, and it looked quite heavy as she was carrying it.

I saw Yang was carrying the food basket and trying to go to the pavilion, so I quickly held her down with one hand and said, "Eat here."

Yang handed me the food basket suspiciously. I took the basket, then lifted the curtain of the carriage and put the food basket back on the carriage.

I opened the food basket and found cakes, food, and a bowl of chicken soup inside.

I stood there, took out the chicken soup and drank it all in one gulp.

Then I took out two bowls from the food basket, put one bowl in Yang's hand, and said, "Eat quickly, you must be hungry too."

Yang quickly put the bowl back into the food basket and said, "No, no, I cannot eat with you, Your Majesty. Please eat quickly, Your Majesty. I brought some dry food."

Seeing that Yang refused to eat, I did not force her. I took a bowl and filled it with a large bowl of rice, then started eating with the dishes in the food basket.

The way I ate was really indecent, but Yang didn't dare to say anything to me, but her expression was a little hard to describe.

Cheng Dazhi took a sip of tea and said, "It seems that Concubine Shu is so angry that she even refuses to enter the pavilion."

Wei Yi picked up a peanut and put it into his mouth, chewed it, and said, "If it were you, would you not be angry?"

Cheng Dazhi sneered and said, "Didn't you plan all this? You still have the nerve to say that!"

Wei Yi glanced at Cheng Dazhi and said, "I know you killed Cheng Dayong with your own hands and he is very angry with himself, but he is unwilling to be a pawn of Gui. Can he die?"

Cheng Dazhi took a deep breath and said, "Why should I be angry? He has brought all this upon himself."

Wei Yi chuckled and said, "If you didn't know that Cheng Dayong had a successor, would you have killed him yourself?"

Cheng Dazhi knew that he was not good at quarreling and he would always lose if he quarreled with Wei Yi, so he turned his head and didn't want to pay any attention to Wei Yi.

Cheng Dazhi found me eating so adorable that he couldn't help but say, "I heard that the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family are all very capable. The eldest, Zhao Jinping, is very smart in studying and is said to be a top scholar. The third, Zhao Yiping, is very talented in business and is very good at making money at a young age. As for the fourth, Zhao Fangping, he is proficient in all arts, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has become famous in the capital at a young age."

Wei Yi asked curiously: "Why don't you comment on Ah Man?"

"A-Man?" Cheng Dazhi looked at me again, thought for a moment, and said, "A-Man is able to hide and endure. Although he may seem rude and stupid, he is actually the smartest of the four siblings."

Wei Yi laughed and said, "The late emperor was right about you. You are really good at judging people."

While Wei Yi and Cheng Dazhi were talking, I had already finished my meal. There were a few pears at the bottom of the food basket. I took one out and took a big bite. The pear was juicy, crisp, sweet and delicious. I couldn't help but praise it for being delicious.

Yang was packing the food basket swiftly. When she heard me say that the pears were delicious, she said happily, "These are the pears that Miss Yiping sent to the palace. She said you like them, so she kept them for you."
