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

I quickly raised my head and said, "No, no, no, I'm just thinking of some "past events"."

After those people brought the tables and chairs over, they disappeared without a trace, and there was not even anyone to pour tea or water.

Zheng Xian personally poured me a cup of tea, and poured himself another cup. After taking a sip, he gently put the cup back on the table and said, "Li Jin's courtyard is well built. Every time I come here, I can truly experience the joy of being an ordinary person."

My mind was completely focused on these plates of pastries.

The cakes of Yongfangzhai were photographed in TV dramas in a very beautiful way, which made people drool. Although the appearance of the cakes in front of me was a little different from that in TV dramas, I still couldn't help but put a piece of green, soft and mint cake in my mouth. I just took a bite and couldn't help but spit it all out!

"Pah, it's so disgusting. It's the most famous pastry shop in Beijing. Where we are, it will probably close down after just two days!" I quickly picked up the tea and gulped down several mouthfuls before I suppressed the bitter and astringent taste in my mouth.

"Is it unpalatable?" Zheng Xian picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, chewing it for a few times and said, "It's not unpalatable. It's bitter at first, then sweet, and then sweet again. It tastes good."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he grabbed another piece and threw it into his mouth.

I curled my lips and said, "I really doubt whether you own this pastry shop, otherwise how could you say such terrible pastries taste good."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Xian burst into laughter and said, "Ah Man, your guess is correct. This shop is really owned by me."

I looked at Zheng Xian in surprise, then looked at the cakes on the table and said, "You are still short of this little money, and you even go to the cake shop."

Zheng Xian smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I am not short of money. But I am interested in everything except being the emperor. But my father will not let me do anything except being the emperor."

I understood and said, "So no one is watching you now, you can do whatever you want. Psychologically speaking, your condition is also a disease, called childhood deprivation disorder. When you grow up and have independent financial ability, this deprivation disorder will make you do a lot of crazy things. For example, you will try your best to eat things you were not allowed to eat when you were a child, and you will try your best to buy things you were not allowed to buy when you were a child. Anyway, you will try your best to do things you were not allowed to do when you were a child."

Zheng Xian thought for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said: "It seems that I have this symptom without a doubt."

I grabbed another piece of pink, which was made like a small peach, crystal clear, bouncy, and not too bad. I didn't expect this piece of cake to have a faint peach fragrance, soft and delicious, and not too sweet.

I couldn't help but praise: "This is what people eat."

Zheng Xian pointed at the green cake and said, "This cake is called Yougan Cake. Yougan grows in the deep mountains of the south and is not easy to pick. I spent a lot of money to send people to buy it and make it into cakes. It tastes bitter at first, but has a sweet aftertaste. It has the effects of aiding digestion, moistening the lungs and clearing the throat, and promoting the production of body fluids and quenching thirst. The piece you just ate is called Taogao, which is made of peach blossoms and peach meat. It has a cute shape and has the fragrance of peaches. It should be the type of food that women like."

I looked at Zheng Xian in surprise. I just thought he was greedy, but I didn't expect him to know every dish by heart. As he said, he was interested in everything except being the emperor!

Zheng Xian saw me looking at him in surprise, smiled, and said, "Do you think I am not a good emperor, that I am not doing my job and wasting my time on eating, drinking and having fun?"

I suddenly had an illusion that the person sitting in front of me was not a ruthless and murderous monarch, but a poor child with a fragile heart, waiting for self-salvation, but unable to find it.

I am not a psychiatrist, but Zheng Xian exposed his weakness in front of me, which was an extremely dangerous thing for him.

I believe Zheng Xian’s IQ is definitely not that low. What is his purpose in doing this?

I knew I shouldn't have come to chat with him. The more secrets of the emperor he knows, the faster he'll lose his head, right?

I was just thinking about it, feeling troubled and not knowing how to respond, when Zheng Xian poured some tea into my cup and said, "What is your world like? Can you tell me about it?"

"What?" I was so shocked that my tongue almost got tied. I stammered, "What did you say?"

Zheng Xian chuckled and said, "Don't panic. Master Ming Yin had predicted your arrival ten years ago."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he took out a neatly folded piece of yellow paper from his sleeve and placed it on the table.

Zheng Xian pushed the paper in front of me and said, "This is the fortune-telling book that Master Ming Yin gave me ten years ago when he was about to pass away."

I quickly pushed the yellow paper back in front of Zheng Xian and said, "A'man has limited literacy and cannot read such a profound fortune-telling book. Your Majesty, please take it back."

Are you kidding? No matter how stupid I am, I know that after reading the emperor's fortune-telling book, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life.

Zheng Xian picked up the fortune-telling book, opened it gently, and said, "It doesn't matter if Ah Man doesn't understand. I will tell you."

I was so frightened that I almost covered my ears. I looked around and saw only a few birds flying by. I didn't know where Zheng Xian's guards were hiding. I didn't know if it was too late to escape now!

Zheng Xian ignored my panic and said, "Master Mingyin said that I belong to the killing star. Because of too much killing, the heaven will punish me. There is no way to avoid the punishment. I will not stop until I die."

Zheng Xian suddenly stopped talking here.

I could see the fear in his heart because his hands holding the paper were shaking.

Zheng Xian calmed down and continued, "But if we can find someone with great luck, with the blessing of his great luck, the punishment from heaven may be alleviated."

Having said this, Zheng Xian stopped talking.

I don't understand why Zheng Xian told me all this. I only know that if you want someone to keep a secret for you, the person must be either dead or someone over whom you can control life and death.

I don't want either of these.

After being bound for 30 years, I just want to be a free person, free to do what I want.

I gave a fake laugh and said, "Haha, you are so capable, you will definitely find someone to help you out."

Zheng Xian slowly folded the yellow paper into a small tofu block, and slowly put it into his sleeve, saying slowly: "I found it."

I had just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea when he said that. I was so scared that the tea sprayed out and I quickly wiped my mouth with my sleeve.

Looking at the calm Zheng Xian in front of me, I suddenly had a bad feeling in my heart. I just hoped that I was overthinking it, so I agreed and said, "Congratulations on finding this person so quickly."
