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

When Hua Wushuang and I were together, she was the one talking and I was listening most of the time.

Hua Wushuang has been in Dayu for several years, but he still speaks with a Southern Qin accent. People from Southern Qin speak softly, just like the people from the Jiangnan water town. They always unconsciously add an "oh" sound at the end of every sentence, which sounds very pleasant.

I laughed for no reason when I heard what Hua Wushuang said. Hua Wushuang looked at me in confusion and asked, "Is what I just said ridiculous?"

I smiled and shook my head, saying, "Now you have also learned to gossip about other people. It is hard to believe that you were once a feared female general."

Upon hearing this, Hua Wushuang waved his hands generously and said, "Let's not talk about the past. My husband and the old lady are watching me closely now. I need someone to help me get into the carriage, let alone ride a horse by myself. I feel like I am no different from a useless person now. It's really embarrassing."

I rolled my eyes at her and said, "Are you trying to embarrass yourself or show off?"

Hua Wushuang laughed loudly and said, "It's still fun to chat with Ah Man. He never beats around the bush and I like him very much."

I asked Yang to take out the brocade boxes that I had prepared long ago. There were three in total. I took one and gave it to Hua Wushuang, saying, "This is a jade bracelet made of the finest jade that I asked Xingyaoxuan to find. One for you, my sister-in-law, and Yingchun. We will have fewer opportunities to meet in the future, so this jade bracelet is a reminder of our memories."

Hua Wushuang took the brocade box. She thought that I would live in the palace for a long time in the future, so it would be inconvenient for us to meet, so she didn’t think much about it.

But Yang, who was standing by, couldn't help but have red eyes. She turned around quietly so that I couldn't see the tears rolling down her eyes.

Yang was so smart, how could she not know that I was saying goodbye to these people? She just didn't say it.

Hua Wushuang opened the brocade box and looked at the jade bracelet inside. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen such pure white jade. You must have spent a lot of money on it."

I smiled and said, "Money is meant to be spent. You can't take it with you if you don't spend it all. Why bother feeling sorry for it?"

Hua Wushuang didn't understand the hidden meaning of my words. She took out the jade bracelet and put it on her wrist, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really beautiful. This can be a family heirloom."

I smiled and didn't say anything. At this time, the doorman came to report that Mrs. Li and Mrs. Du had arrived.

Yang hurried out to greet them.

Mrs. Li Jin and Mrs. Du Feilong walked in together.

When they saw me, they hurried forward to pay their respects. I quickly asked Yang to hold them back and said, "There is no need for you two ladies to be polite now that there are no outsiders."

Yang welcomed him to sit on a chair and ordered people to serve him tea and snacks.

Mrs. Li had no children. It was said that she adopted a son from a side branch, but this adopted son was not seen with her.

Mrs. Du often comes to the Duke's Mansion, so she is more familiar with me and is not so reserved when speaking. Mrs. Li, on the other hand, is more reserved.

Since the room was full of women, it was very lively and chattering, but I fell asleep while they were talking enthusiastically.

But Yang knew clearly that I was not really asleep, but had fallen into emptiness again.

She couldn't tell everyone that I had a health problem, so she could only apologize and say, "Your Majesty is not in good health and often falls asleep while talking. Now the dinner is almost ready. Please move to the front hall and sit for a while. Let Your Majesty rest for a while. I will take Your Majesty there before the dinner starts."

Hua Wushuang, Madam Li, and Madam Du all knew that I was not feeling well. After Yang said so, they naturally couldn't stay here any longer, so they all got up and went to the front yard.

When Yang saw that Hua Wushuang and the others had left, she hurriedly asked Xichun whether Princess Wu had arrived.

Xichun was a little curious as to why Yang was so anxious to find Princess Wu at this time, but she still answered honestly that she had not.

Yang told her to quickly send someone to wait at the gate, and to invite Princess Wu to the inner courtyard immediately when she arrived.

Although Xichun was confused, she still did as she was told.

Zheng Bang was a little jealous of me, so he didn't want to attend the dinner, but he couldn't persuade Yi Ping, so he had to dilly-dally and come just in time for dinner.

As soon as the carriage of Prince Wu's mansion arrived at the gate, Yi Ping was immediately invited to my yard.

Zheng Bang also wanted to come along, but was rudely sent to the front hall by Yi Ping.

Yi Ping came to my room in a hurry, and seeing that I was fast asleep, he said in confusion, "You were looking for me so anxiously, I thought something happened to my second sister."

Before Yang could say anything, tears started to flow. She said, "Princess Wu, something has indeed happened to the queen. Once she falls into a coma, it will be difficult for her to wake up. Now, only Princess Wu can wake her up when she is asleep."

"Ah?" Yi Ping looked at Yang in confusion and asked, "I didn't know I had this ability?"

Seeing that Yi Ping didn't believe her, Yang didn't want to waste any more words, because the dinner preparations had begun, but the host who was preparing for the dinner fell into a coma. How could the dinner go on?

Yang said hurriedly: "Princess Wu, you just need to cry loudly in front of me, and I will wake up."

Yi Ping looked at Yang in disbelief and said, "How can you make me cry for no reason?"

Yang choked up and said, "It's not for no reason. The queen, the queen, she won't live for many days."

"What?" Yi Ping got anxious when he heard it and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yang shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "I did not lie to Princess Wu. One time, I was combing your hair and she fell asleep on the table. Before she fell asleep, she kept mumbling, 'There are only a few days left, I can't sleep, I still have things to do.'"

After hearing this, Yi Ping's body softened and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Yang was quick to catch her.

Yiping sat softly on the stool, looked at me sleeping soundly on the toffee chair, and asked softly, "Did my second sister really say that?"

Yang nodded and said, "Could it be that Princess Wu hasn't figured it out yet? Ever since her health suddenly improved, the Queen's behavior has become very strange. Not only does she like to talk to herself all the time, she also likes to look at the sky alone. Her expression is lonely and sad."

Since Zheng Bang didn't like Yiping to have too much contact with me, it became very difficult for Yiping to come see me, and Yiping really didn't notice these details.

When Yiping thought that I was about to die, he could no longer hold back and clinged to me and burst into tears.

Yiping had just started crying when I actually woke up slowly.

When Yang saw that I was awake, she said in surprise, "Princess Wu, Your Majesty, Your Majesty is awake."

Yiping raised her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes, looking aggrieved.

I said with some amusement: "Did Lord Wu bully you again?"

Yi Ping snorted and said, "He dares!"

I reached out my hand and gently wiped Yiping's tears, saying, "Silly girl, don't cry. It won't look good if you cry."

When Yiping heard this, his tears flowed even more happily.
