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

Seeing that all the ministers had left, He Wan'er was about to turn around and leave, when Zheng Yan suddenly said, "Empress Dowager, can you please move into the palace? I have something to tell you."

Does He Wan'er dare to say no?

The reason why she is here today is because when she came to visit me in my palace yesterday, she heard me say that His Majesty was crazy and mentally confused, and he actually favored a witch queen who harmed people! At this time, He Wan'er remembered that Zheng Xian had given her a secret decree before his death, asking her to give it to Zheng Yan at the critical moment.

Since Zheng Yan was already insane, it must be the most critical moment. So she quickly changed into the empress dowager's palace clothes, hurried to Fengtian Hall, and personally presented the secret decree to Zheng Yan.

But she never expected that after reading the secret decree, Zheng Yan's face turned pale and his body swayed, as if he had suffered a major blow.

The destructive power of this secret decree was so great that He Wan'er regretted it. Why didn't she secretly open it and take a look before sealing it back?

But it was too late to regret, so she had to follow Zheng Yan to the inner hall.

Zheng Yan sat behind a large desk, looking somewhat dejected. Wei Yi stood behind Zheng Yan cautiously, not daring to raise his head for fear of getting into trouble.

He Wan'er just stood there quietly. She didn't dare to sit down until Zheng Yan offered her a seat.

After a long while, Zheng Yan finally said, "In your eyes, am I just a joke?"

He Wan'er was startled, her legs went limp, and she almost knelt down, but fortunately she remembered that she didn't have to kneel down to Zheng Yan, so she straightened her back and asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why do you say that?"

Zheng Yan smiled, but his smile was extremely sad. Then he sighed deeply and said, "I have been studying and writing hard with the Grand Tutor since I was a child. I also practiced hard in the Martial Arts Academy. I dare not slack off for fear of disappointing my father's expectations. Unexpectedly, I still disappoint him."

After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he closed his eyes tightly, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.

He Wan'er spoke after careful consideration, "Your Majesty, you were made the Crown Prince when you were born. You were the future Emperor in the eyes of the late Emperor, so he was naturally a little strict with you, but you are different from other princes in your father's heart. Your mother committed treason, but your father did not implicate you. Your position as Emperor was still strong, and he even paved the way for you to ascend the throne. In your father's eyes, you will always be the most perfect prince, and he will never be disappointed in you."

Zheng Yan suddenly opened his eyes after hearing this, but he did not look at He Wan'er. Instead, he stared at the osmanthus tree outside the window, which had long become bare.

He suddenly remembered that when he was a child, his father would often take him to the morning court. After the morning court, his father would sit behind this large desk, and he would stand beside his father and tell his father what he had seen and heard during the court session.

When he spoke well, his father would nod his head continuously to show his approval; when he spoke poorly, his father would analyze with him in detail the shortcomings of his own views.

Whenever the sweet-scented osmanthus smelled fragrant, and whenever he discussed court affairs with his father, there would be a plate of osmanthus cake on the table. After the discussion between the father and son, his father would let him sit down and eat the osmanthus cake and drink tea together.

This is a treatment that no other prince has ever received.

After hearing what He Wan'er said, all the details came to his mind one by one. It turned out that although his father never expressed his love for him, it was all shown in a plate of osmanthus cake.

Zheng Yan swallowed his saliva, and Wei Yi immediately came forward and brought him a cup of tea with great tact.

Zheng Yan took a sip of tea, and Wei Yi quickly took the empty teacup.

Zheng Yan thought for a moment and asked unconfidently, "Is Ah Man still angry with me?"

He Wan'er shook her head and said, "The Concubine Shu is not a stingy person, and she is never angry with you."

Zheng Yan finally understood what He Wan'er said.

He Wan'er continued, "The Concubine Shu is not feeling well. She even vomited blood yesterday. When I went to visit her, she was already very angry, but she smiled and told me not to worry."

When He Wan'er said this, her eyes began to redden. She paused and continued, "Your Majesty, you should go and see her more often if you are fine. Don't make her angry again."

Zheng Yan heard the two fists in his sleeves clenched tightly and his head buzzed.

After He Wan'er finished speaking, she sighed and said, "If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will take my leave."

Zheng Yan didn't say anything, and He Wan'er didn't care. Anyway, she was a transparent person in the palace. The lower her presence, the higher her survival rate. This was the experience she had summed up after living in the harem for decades. If it wasn't a last resort, she wouldn't want to show her presence in front of Zheng Yan. Now that the letter was sent, it was time for her to leave.

After He Wan'er left, Zheng Yan still sat upright on the large dragon throne without moving.

After a long while, Wei Yi asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty has not had breakfast today. Can I ask someone to prepare breakfast?"

Zheng Yan finally came back to his senses with difficulty. He shook his head and said, "Let's go to Shengping Palace."

"Ah?" Wei Yi thought he had misheard, but he immediately realized that he was just a servant, how could he question his master's decision? So he immediately shouted, "Come here, prepare for Shengping Palace."

After the court was dismissed, Zheng Bang, Zhao Zhenyuan and Zhao Jinping walked together.

Zheng Bang felt that he had not yet used all his strength, and had not used half of the tricks he had agreed upon with Zhao Zhenyuan, but he was forced to withdraw from the court. The anger in his heart could not be vented, and he really wanted to beat someone up!

Seeing Zheng Bang's bad face, Zhao Zhenyuan comforted him, "Prince Wu, I should have realized something from your Majesty's expression just now. Don't rush it. Wait and see. Maybe there will be good news soon."

Zheng Bang was still angry after hearing this. He was a man who would not suffer any loss. His princess was bullied, and the feeling of not being able to fight back made him extremely angry.

Jinping looked up at the sky and said, "Prince Wu, father, I have something to do and need to go see Concubine Shu. I will not accompany you two out of the palace. Goodbye."

Jinping wanted to leave after he finished speaking, but Zhao Zhenyuan quickly stopped him and said, "It has been two days since I last visited your second sister. I will go with you."

Jinping was unwilling to go with him to find me. He didn't want so many people to know about this. Zhao Zhenyuan had a loud voice. If he knew that Ah Man was leaving soon, he might shout to His Majesty, and then the whole family might be killed by His Majesty!

Jinping quickly refused, saying, "Father, don't you have to go back to the barracks for training today? I have already arranged the itinerary yesterday. I can't break my promise in front of all the generals."

Before Zhao Zhenyuan could speak, Zheng Bang said, "I am not in a good mood today, so I will go to the barracks with the Duke."

When Zhao Zhenyuan saw that Zheng Bang wanted to follow him back to the barracks again, he was so scared that he wanted to refuse, but Zhao Jinping ran away quickly without giving him a chance to speak.

Zhao Zhenyuan was so angry when he saw his son running faster than a rabbit, but he had no choice but to take Zheng Bang away.
