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

I was so angry that I shook off Zheng Yan's hand and said coldly, "That was a life. Fortunately, my third sister is fine. If something happened, could the reward you gave me save a life?"

Zheng Yan looked at his empty hands and suddenly became angry. He said in a deep voice, "I am the Son of Heaven. I reprimanded the Queen for you. I also stayed here for most of the day because I was worried about your health. Is this how you treat me?"

My disgust deepened, and I suppressed my anger and said, "Your Majesty, please go back. I am not feeling well, and I don't want to pass on my illness to you."

Zheng Yan became even angrier when he heard this. He flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.

Wei Yi hurriedly went to pick up the memorials on the table, then ran out quickly to chase Zheng Yan.

At this time, Xichun also woke up, and hurried to my bed, saying with some guilt: "I accidentally fell asleep, please punish me, Madam."

I gritted my teeth and said, "Tell Fuyao to prepare the carriage. I want to leave the palace."

Xichun was shocked and said, "The palace gate is now closed. I'm afraid the guards won't let you in. How about you leave the palace tomorrow?"

I struggled to sit up and said, "If you don't want to leave the palace, then prepare a carriage to go to Fangfei Palace."

Fangfei Palace was the bedroom of Empress Zhao Fangping.

Xichun was shocked again after hearing this. She heard clearly what Zheng Yan said just now. His Majesty intended to protect his Queen and even had a quarrel with the Queen over this matter. If the Queen came to make trouble, she didn't know whether His Majesty would vent his anger on the Queen and punish her. What should she do then?

Your Majesty is so weak that she can't stand the hardship. If something happens and Your Majesty regrets it, then it will be these servants who will die.

Thinking of this, Xichun shuddered with fear. She could already foresee that if something happened to me, she would definitely die a miserable death!

She said quickly, "My Lady, I will go find Sister Yang right away."

After Xichun finished speaking, he ran out quickly.

I was confused by Xichun's running. Wasn't I going to Fangfei Palace? Why did you go to see Yang? At least you could find someone to prepare the carriage.

Not long after Xichun ran out, Yang and Fuyao ran in hurriedly.

Before Yang came to me, she knelt down and cried, "My queen, you can't go out. It just snowed heavily and it's the coldest time of the year. If you catch a cold, none of us can afford it."

I was so angry that my chest felt stuffy and painful, and my lips were trembling. I pointed at Yang and said, "What are you doing? You stopped me from leaving the house. Do you think my third sister's suffering is in vain?"

Yang knew that she was a servant of low status, so she naturally did not dare to contradict me. She was looking at me at a loss when Fuyao suddenly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I think it would be better to ask the Empress Dowager to intervene in this matter. The Empress Dowager is in a superior position. Your Majesty would not dare to vent his anger on her, and the Empress would not dare to disrespect the Empress Dowager."

He Wan'er?

What use could her soft nature have?

And what can't Zhao Fangping do? She dared to harm even her own sister, so why would she be afraid of a mere empress dowager?

But I thought of another better candidate, that is Zheng Bang.

Given Zheng Bang's protective character, he would not let Zhao Fangping off easily if he dared to hurt his princess.

Thinking of this, I said to Fuyao, "Go to Prince Wu's mansion and tell Prince Wu what you have found out. Then check on my third sister and report back to me in time."

Fuyao immediately understood what I meant, agreed, and immediately took my jade token and rode out of the palace.

I waited in the palace like crazy, but luckily Fuyao came back not long after. She said that my father and elder brother were in Prince Wu's mansion, and several palace doctors were on duty. Although Princess Wu was still having a high fever, she had fortunately woken up.

The female guard that Fu Yao introduced to Yi Ping also woke up with the treatment of the imperial physician, but her injuries were quite serious and she needed to rest for a while.

After Yi Ping regained consciousness, she asked Zhao Fangping why he wanted to harm her. It turned out that Zhao Fangping had set his eyes on her caravan and wanted Yi Ping to give it to her. Yi Ping was naturally unsure. This was the caravan she had worked so hard to build. In addition to earning money, the most important thing about the caravan was that all the people who ran the business were veterans who had returned from the army. These people had followed Zheng Bang, and Zheng Bang had feelings for them. The subsidies that the veterans received from the court were pitifully small. In addition, these veterans were more or less injured, and it was not easy for them to find work. Now that they had finally found a way to make a living, if Zhao Fangping took over the caravan, he might replace all these people, which would mean cutting off the livelihood of these veterans, so Yi Ping could never sign the agreement.

Originally, Zhao Fangping might not have intended to cause Yi Ping to fall into the water. The two of them argued for a while, and when Yi Ping was about to leave, he walked a little hurriedly, and the road was a little slippery, so it is possible that Zhao Fangping deliberately tripped him, and Yi Ping slipped into the lake.

There happened to be several holes dug on the lakeside for fish to breathe. When Yi Ping fell into the lake, she got stuck in the holes. Yi Ping's guards wanted to save her, but the ice cracked. Yi Ping fell into the water and dragged the guards down with her. Just as the guards were trying to lift Yi Ping up, a stick suddenly hit the guards' heads, almost breaking her head. Fortunately, the guards were martial artists with great skills. Even though they were dizzy from the blows, they still saved Yi Ping. At this time, Yi Ping's other guards also arrived in time and saved the two of them, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

In fact, there was no need for Fuyao to tell the three of them the information she had investigated, as they could already guess that Zhao Fangping wanted to kill Yi Ping.

Otherwise, Yiping wouldn't have been hit on the head when he went down to rescue people.

Fortunately, the guard was strong and protected Yiping and pulled him up. Otherwise, he would have sunk quickly in such a winter weather and would have been dead by the time the guard came to rescue him.

Zheng Bang was so angry that his teeth were clenched and he wanted to go into the palace to beat Zhao Fangping up. But Jinping grabbed Zheng Bang and said, "Prince Wu, Fuyao just said that my second sister argued with His Majesty, and His Majesty sided with the Queen and scolded my second sister. If you go into the palace now, I'm afraid you will only provoke His Majesty's wrath even more. Not only will it not help, but it may also cause trouble. We need to think carefully and not act rashly."

Zheng Bang was so angry that he threw away Jinping's sleeves and said, "I am just a rough man who only knows how to fight. I will punish anyone who dares to bully my princess. Don't stop me."

Zheng Bang was about to leave, but Zhao Zhenyuan stopped him and said, "Prince Wu, Jin'er is right. His Majesty is young and hot-tempered, and cannot stand any criticism from others. If you rush to the palace to argue with him, I'm afraid you will make His Majesty unhappy."

Zheng Bang still respected his father-in-law very much. He did not dare to push away Zhao Zhenyuan's hand. He just said bitterly: "Are you not going to take revenge for this?"
