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

It is said that those ministers whose property was confiscated were once subordinates of the Fifth Prince. Although Zheng Hao and his mother were executed, Zheng Hao had an illegitimate son. These people had always wanted to support Zheng Hao's illegitimate son to ascend the throne.

After Zheng Hao's death, these old subordinates lay dormant, waiting for the opportunity to overthrow Zheng Yan. Unfortunately, the Regent Gongsun Wen was too ruthless, and for a time they were suppressed so hard that they dared not raise their heads. Who knew that the news of the discord between Gongsun Wen and Zheng Yan came out not long ago, and these people were ready to start making trouble again. They were afraid of the Regent but not Zheng Yan. They had finally waited for the two of them to fall out, so when would they make trouble if not now?

But what was unexpected was that Zheng Yan was so smart that he was able to identify those ministers who wanted to rebel with just a booklet. Those who should be killed were killed, those who should be exiled were exiled, and a lot of property was confiscated, and the national treasury was immediately filled up a lot.

I don’t know who came up with this plan, and they even included me in it.

Every time Zheng Yan summoned ministers to the palace to discuss important matters, he deliberately ignored Gongsun Wen. I thought that Zheng Yan and Gongsun Wen had a falling out because of me, but I didn't expect that they were using me as a trigger to put on a show for outsiders.

Zhao Jinping must also know about this. He is with Zheng Yan every day, so maybe he also contributed to this plan.

I am so stupid. I was still worried that Gongsun Wen’s life would be in danger if Zheng Yan disliked him.

The funniest thing is that even Zhao Zhenyuan and Zhao Jinping treated me like a fool. They clearly had the opportunity to tell me all this, but they said nothing and kept it a secret from me. They watched coldly as Zheng Yan and Gongsun Wen quarreled in front of me, making me misunderstand that there was a rift between them.

When I figured it all out, my already depressed mood became even more unhappy.

After I woke up, Zheng Yan received the news quickly and he had almost finished the things he was doing, so he hurried to see me.

Of course, after knowing that Zheng Yan was coming, he immediately lay down and pretended to be asleep. He also asked Yang to tell the guard that I was not in good health and did not want to see anyone. No one was allowed to enter the hall, not even Zheng Yan.

Of course the guard didn't dare to stop Zheng Yan, but he couldn't disobey me, so he had to tremblingly relay my words to Zheng Yan, saying that although the queen had woken up, she was not feeling well and didn't want to see anyone.

In the end, I dared not say the words "Your Majesty, please go back" no matter what.

But when Zheng Yan knew that I didn't want to see him, there was a look of surprise on his face, but he was a smart man and he immediately understood what I should know.

How could the Ling family have kept the news about the Hall of Supreme Harmony from Zheng Yan? Zheng Yan thought it was no big deal to let me know these insignificant news, but he didn't expect me to be so smart and guess the whole story based on just a few words from the Ling brothers.

Zheng Yan got angry when he thought of this, and said in a cold voice: "Go back to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and tell the Ling brothers to come to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to see me immediately."

Wei Yi quickly ordered his guards to find the Ling brothers.

After I refused to see the guest, Gongsun Wen, who had come several times, finally realized that something was wrong with me. When he learned that even His Majesty refused to see me, he finally understood what I knew.

He knew very well that I hated concealment and deception the most. Letting me know that he and His Majesty were deceiving her would undoubtedly be sentencing myself to death!

Thinking of this, Gongsun Wen's heart finally grew colder inch by inch.

But what he didn't expect was that, although he had been unable to meet me, I actually returned to the Duke's Mansion on the 28th day of the lunar year and held a banquet at the Duke's Mansion to entertain all the people I knew.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, I brought Yang and Xichun back to the Duke's Mansion.

Fu Yao still refused to follow me. I don’t know what Zhao Zhenyuan said to her that day, but now she avoids me like the plague and won’t appear in front of me easily.

What's even more strange is that the Ling brothers are also missing. I sent people to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to summon them, but the Hall of Supreme Harmony replied that the two brothers had returned to their hometown to celebrate the New Year and could no longer be my bodyguards.

I don't have much time left, so I can't care about these things. If you don't want to be my bodyguard, then don't do it. You won't be able to do it for a few more days anyway.

When Zhao Zhenyuan and Zhao Jinping knew that I was going to return to the Duke's Mansion to host a banquet, they both sensed something was wrong.

Like Gongsun Wen, they went to the palace to ask to see me several times, but were blocked at the palace gate and not allowed in. They thought I was seriously ill and went to find Zheng Yan to find out the situation. When they learned that Zheng Yan would not let them in either, they all fell silent.

I am such a stubborn person, but I suddenly lowered myself to return to the Duke's Mansion to host a banquet. Any normal person would feel that something was wrong.

But I really came back and brought a lot of things with me. The several carriages full of gold, silver and treasures made Zhao Zhenyuan and Zhao Jinping think that I had emptied the palace.

I had all the things on the carriage moved into my yard, told Yang to take inventory of the main warehouse, and then gave the booklet to Zheng Yunyan for safekeeping.

Zheng Yunyan held the thick book in her hand, and then looked at the treasures in the room, and felt that the book in her hand was very hot. She wanted to pass the book to Jinping, but Jinping just talked to me and ignored her. Zheng Yunyan realized that as long as I appeared, Jinping would pay all his attention to me, and the people around him would not even bother to give me a glance.

Zheng Yunyan suddenly felt a little sad when she thought of this, but she thought that I was her sister-in-law after all, and it was impossible for a sister-in-law to be jealous of her sister-in-law, right?

After Zheng Yunyan successfully brainwashed herself, she returned to her yard with the booklet in her hand in a depressed mood. It was not until she saw Aqiao squatting in the corner of the yard playing in the mud that Zheng Yunyan's mood improved.

Since I was going to hold a banquet at the Duke's Mansion, the servants in the mansion started to get busy.

It was impossible to have a rich menu and high-end ingredients for a banquet at the last minute. In addition, it was Chinese New Year and many merchants had gone home to celebrate the New Year, so it was almost impossible to buy meat. The servants ran all over the capital and finally bought some ingredients for the banquet.

The servants ran themselves nearly to pieces but they dared not complain, because as soon as I returned home, I gave each servant a big red envelope. The money in this red envelope was enough to cover their wages for half a year. The saying "money makes the world go round" is absolutely true. After taking the money, these servants did their work efficiently and willingly.

While the servants were busy preparing dinner, I was leisurely lying on the toffee chair in the room and chatting with Hua Wushuang.

Hua Wushuang is now pregnant again, and has been pregnant for five or six months. As it is her second child, her belly looks particularly big and her legs are swollen. Now she is asking the maid to help her massage her legs.

Yingchun also came with her son. Because several children gathered together were really noisy, Yingchun simply took the children to another room to play and did not let them come around in front of us.
