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

Zheng Yan was a little flustered by the question, but then he reacted. This is Dayu, his world. Why should he be afraid of an outsider?

Zheng Yan snorted coldly and said, "Why should I explain to you what I am going to do? We still have some details to discuss on the contract, so today is a good time to get this done. Once it is done, you should go back to Xihe Kingdom as soon as possible. A country cannot be without a king for a day, so don't let someone with ulterior motives take your place if you are away for too long."

Ankang was neither angry nor refuted after hearing this. He was much older than Zheng Yan. In his eyes, Zheng Yan was just an immature child and not to be feared. What he was really afraid of was the regent behind Zheng Yan - Gongsun Wen.

Ankang gathered his sleeves, stood up and said, "If it weren't for the cooperation between Marshal Zhao and I, would you have been able to take over Xihe so easily? Don't be a good person and act nice, as this will easily bring disaster upon yourself."

After Ankang finished speaking, he turned around and left without paying any attention to Zheng Yan's face which had turned dark due to rage.

Zheng Yan was so angry that he wanted to chase him, but Gongsun Wen stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. What he said does make sense. Without his help from inside and outside, it would not be so easy for us to take Xihe. Besides, he has made great contributions to the governance of Xihe. He can also pay tribute to our country with cattle, sheep, horses, and fruits from Dali every year, which can fundamentally solve our problem of insufficient productivity. Anyway, he will not stay here for long, so we should give him the face he deserves."

Wei Yi had a habit. Whenever he accompanied the emperor on a trip, he would search every place carefully to prevent an ambush. At this moment, he had just finished searching and walked in.

Wei Yi was so frightened when he saw the furious Zheng Yan that he subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but Zheng Yan flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "Anyway, he can't take Ah Man away."

After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he left angrily.

Wei Yi had no choice but to follow, and this time he didn't even have to kneel.

Gongsun Wen looked at Zheng Yan's hurriedly leaving back, smiled coldly, and said: "Did you see that? This is what is called "serving the emperor is like serving a tiger."

Zhao Jinping quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, teacher, for your guidance."

Gongsun Wen said, "Let's go too. I don't think we can continue the contract negotiation today."

After Zhao Jinping won the top spot in the imperial examination, he had been following Gongsun Wen and had a good understanding of Gongsun Wen's character. He knew that Gongsun Wen was very angry at the moment. The angrier he was, the calmer the situation would appear. However, someone would be in trouble soon, but he didn't know which minister it would be.

Zhao Jinping responded, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will go get the horse right away."

Gongsun Wen waved his hand and said, "No need, let's go get the horses together. After we get the horses, you and I will go to the same place."

Zhao Jinping never dared to ask Gongsun Wen the reason, so he responded obediently: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After hearing footsteps next door, it soon became quiet.

It is really inconvenient not having a mobile phone in this era. They are all gone and I haven’t got the antidote yet. What should I do with Fuyao and Xichun?

In the past, I had no problem carrying one person back in each hand, but since I lost my martial arts, although my strength has not decreased much, my body has become much weaker. I have to gasp for air after taking two steps, let alone carrying someone back.

Since I returned to the Duke's Mansion, I have sent all the Black Feather Guards back. Gongsun Wen didn't say anything when he found out. He probably knew that I wanted to cut off ties with him. He has always been a person who pays the most attention to etiquette. Even if he knew that I didn't want to have anything to do with him, he wouldn't come to my mansion to ask for clarification. He endured everything silently.

I was so bored waiting that I was thinking whether I should go out and find someone to help send Fuyao and Xichun back home. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open quietly and a head stuck in. It was Ankang! He actually came back.

When Ankang saw that I hadn't left yet, he narrowed his eyes with joy, rushed in with a "whoosh", and quickly closed the door.

Ankang sat down next to me and said happily, "I knew the Second Miss would not leave."

I rolled my eyes and said, "It's not that I don't want to leave, but I can't leave without the antidote. Didn't you leave? Why are you back?"

Ankang smiled and said, "I am thinking about you, so I came back."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes again and said, "Thank you so much, you made it so hard for me to leave. Please don't do this again in the future."

Ankang smiled innocently and said, "I won't do that again. I came to see you in private, and it would be bad if outsiders saw us, so I thought of knocking them out so they wouldn't gossip about me."

I said angrily: "I only keep people around me because I trust them. Don't do this kind of thing again. If you don't control the dosage of drugs, it will harm your body."

When Ankang heard this, he said nervously, "I'll give them both the antidote right away."

After Ankang finished speaking, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, unscrewed the cap, and shook it gently under the noses of Fuyao and Xichun.

Not long after, Xichun and Fuyao woke up slowly from their coma.

Fuyao was the first to wake up. Seeing Ankang beside me, she shuddered with fear and quickly jumped up to protect me behind her. She said angrily, "How dare you drug us? That's too abominable. I'll teach you a lesson!"

After Fuyao finished speaking, she raised her fist and was about to hit Ankang. I quickly held Fuyao's hand and said, "Don't worry, he is the king of Xihe."

Fuyao was stunned for a moment, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Your Majesty is actually an old acquaintance of the King of Xihe?"

Fuyao was a dull person, and if she hadn't been extremely surprised, she wouldn't have said such a thing.

I nodded and said, "Not only is he an old acquaintance, he is also my servant."

Fuyao was even more surprised after hearing this. She looked at Ankang intently, but pursed her lips tightly, not knowing which question to ask.

Ankang was angry with Zheng Xian and Gongsun Wen, blaming them for taking him away without mercy and causing him to be separated from me for so many years. However, he did not mind the fact that he had once been my servant. Instead, he felt that he was very lucky to be my servant.

Ankang admitted openly, "Yes, I was once the second young lady's servant."

Xichun's drug effect had not worn off yet, and he felt dizzy and his eyes were blurry.

Fuyao quickly poured a cup of tea for Xichun to drink, and Xichun finally sobered up a little.

As soon as she woke up, she saw a man she knew in the room. She was so scared that she was about to scream. Fuyao quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Don't talk nonsense."

Although Xichun was afraid, he nodded obediently.

Ankang glanced at Fuyao and Xichun and said, "Second Miss, it seems that we can't have this meal today. Let's make an appointment next time."

I smiled and said, "There is a long way to go. There will be many opportunities to treat you to a meal. There is no rush."
