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

There was always a charcoal stove burning in the carriage, and it was silver charcoal. There was no smoke and no odor. It was indeed much better than here.

So I didn't refuse and returned to the carriage with Yang and Xichun.

The Ling brothers brought enough ingredients, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and even invited the Ling brothers to join them.

I thought the palace banquet would be over soon, but I didn't expect that after I took a nap in the carriage and woke up, these ministers came slowly in groups of three or four.

The person in charge of the record book was a young man who was said to have passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. He wrote quickly and beautifully.

The young man pulled up the tarpaulin at the observation port and went over to record the time each person left the palace.

Every time I passed someone, the captain of the guards would whisper to me what the person's name was and what his rank was.

After listening and looking at the man for a few times, I asked the young man to add a sentence when leaving the palace, such as "This person has kind eyes and a kind heart." Or "This person has a fierce look in his eyes, so use him with caution." And other similar comments.

The young man looked at me puzzled, but didn't dare to ask anything. He obediently wrote what I asked him to write.

Zhao Zhenyuan and Jinping were the last to appear in front of the palace gate. They were covered with snow. Although they had drunk wine, they still walked lightly.

The two of them left the palace, but I didn't say a word.

The young man couldn't help but look at me again. I said unhappily, "Do I need to comment on my father and elder brother? They are definitely good people."

The young man smiled as he heard this, but the chief of the imperial guards sighed, "The Duke and I were both candidates for the military examination in the same year. He won the first place, and I won the second place. After the Duke won the first place, he followed the army to the border. After so many years, the Duke became a marshal, but I am still a member of the imperial guards. It's really embarrassing to talk about it."

I glanced at the captain of the imperial guards and said, "I didn't expect you to be the runner-up."

The chief of the imperial guards waved his hand and said, "I am ashamed to bring up the past again."

I picked up the booklet and said, "Send this booklet to His Majesty now. Although I cannot guarantee that you can become a high official, it should be possible to promote you."

"Ah?" The captain of the guard looked at me in confusion.

No wonder Zhao Zhenyuan could become a marshal. This guy has been around for so many years but has only become a captain of the imperial guards. It would be difficult for him to move up even if he has such a stupid head.

I pretended to give the booklet to the young man and said, "If you don't go to claim this credit, I'll let him go?"

The chief of the imperial guards finally understood what was going on. He snatched the booklet and said hastily, "Go, I'll go right away."

I patted the young man on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, and you will be promoted to the position of Chief of the Royal Guard. The position will be yours."

After saying that, I took Yang and Xichun away, leaving the young man thoughtful.

I returned to my own palace and had a good night's sleep.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Yan came early the next morning.

Since I recovered, I have been eating well and sleeping soundly. No one would bother me even if I sleep until noon every day. But I didn’t expect that Zheng Yan didn’t have to attend the morning court, but still came to my house before dawn.

When Zheng Yan arrived, I was still sleeping soundly. Yang was shocked to see Zheng Yan and wanted to wake me up, but Zheng Yan stopped her with his hand and said, "No need to wake me up. Serve me breakfast first. Ah Man is not feeling well, and sleeping late will be good for her."

Yang had no choice but to go downstairs and ask someone to prepare breakfast.

Zheng Yan used to have breakfast in my palace often. He was not picky about food and had no dietary restrictions, so breakfast was easy to prepare. Buns, dim sum, porridge, noodles and the like were all fine.

After Zheng Yan finished breakfast, I still had no intention of waking up, so Zheng Yan sat down in front of my desk and quietly looked at the booklet submitted by the Chief of the Imperial Guards.

I don’t know if it was because there was one more person in the room, but I woke up for no apparent reason.

I opened my eyes and quietly watched Zheng Yan sitting at the desk, looking at the booklet intently.

I felt a little tired after watching it, so I turned over and fell into a deep sleep again.

This time, Zheng Yan waited until noon but I still didn’t wake up.

At one point he thought I had passed away in my sleep, and he checked my breathing several times. Fortunately, my breathing was still smooth, and there was no sign of death.

The ministers were on holiday, but Zheng Yan couldn't sit still. He couldn't wait for me to wake up, so he had to go back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. He summoned several ministers that day, including the left and right prime ministers, the six ministers, Zhao Zhenyuan and Zhao Jinping, but he didn't call Gongsun Wen.

As for why I know all this, it was naturally because the Ling brothers told me.

When I have nothing to do here, the two brothers go back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to work during the day and help me find out some information.

Since Zheng Yan sends people to monitor me all day long, it is fair that I can also send people to monitor him.

I always feel that Zheng Yan is plotting something big, but what I don’t understand is why he abandoned his teacher and regent Gongsun Wen, who had accompanied him all the way growing up?

It is unknown what the fate of Gongsun Wen, who was abandoned, would be. If it were Zheng Xian, he would definitely be eliminated without hesitation, but as for Zheng Yan, it is a little hard to say.

Zheng Yan's temperament was kinder than Zheng Xian's, and he had never killed innocent people. Although he was somewhat attached to women, he was still a good emperor who worked hard for the country and the people.

I slept until noon and woke up leisurely.

When I woke up this time, I felt something was wrong with my body.

I always felt a roaring sound in my ears, which made me uneasy; then my body movements became uncontrollable. I clearly wanted to move forward, but my body fell to the ground crookedly. I clearly wanted to reach out to grab the chopsticks, but my hands were out of control. Not only did I not grab the chopsticks, I also grabbed a cup of hot tea and poured it directly into my mouth, which almost scalded me to death.

I knew that they were trying to separate my soul and body.

My condition was worse than before, which scared Yang and Xichun. After helping me back to the bed from where I had fallen to the ground, they immediately sent someone to call the imperial physician.

The imperial physician was shocked when he felt my pulse, because my pulse was sometimes fast and sometimes slow. When it was slow, it was almost undetectable, and when it was fast, it seemed like it was about to break.

Batch after batch of imperial doctors came, but none of them had ever seen such symptoms and had no idea where to start, let alone prescribe medicine.

Zheng Yan was originally discussing state affairs with ministers in the imperial study when he heard the secret guards report that I had fallen to the ground and none of the doctors in the imperial medical office could find out what was wrong with me. Now I can only lie in bed, unable to move.

Zheng Yan became anxious when he heard this. He left his ministers and ran straight to Shengping Palace, not caring about anything else.

When Zheng Yan saw me, there were imperial doctors surrounding my bed, but my hands and feet were tied, and even my mouth was stuffed with a cloth strip. I stared with my big eyes and roared continuously, like a fish about to be slaughtered.

When Zheng Yan saw me being tied up, he shouted angrily, “What are you doing?”

Zhou Tianming stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the queen suddenly became very irritable. She kept pounding the bed and biting herself. She bit her wrists so hard that we had to tie her up."
