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

Zheng Xian put his hands behind his back, and intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Li Jin who didn't dare to straighten his waist in front of him, and then glanced at me who was carefree, and said: "I am very curious about the country you live in. When you have time, you can tell me in detail. If you are not used to the etiquette here, you can skip the king's etiquette in front of me. This is my greatest tolerance for you."

As soon as Zheng Xian finished speaking, Li Jin stretched his neck several inches in anxiety and shouted, "Your Majesty..."

As soon as Li Jin said the word "彈", Zheng Xian stared at him, which frightened Li Jin so much that he dragged out the word "下" and dared not to say another word.

Not having to kneel is the greatest tolerance?

No no no, this is not the result I want!

I quickly said, "Kill me!"

I looked at Zheng Xian pitifully and almost pulled his sleeve.

Zheng Xian looked down at me and said, "Are you trying to test my bottom line?"

I said sincerely, "No, I want to go home."

Of course Zheng Xian understood that the "home" I was talking about was not the general's mansion.

Zheng Xian said with an unchanged expression: "Even if I kill you, can you guarantee that you can go back?"

“I…” “Of course I can’t be sure.

Seeing my bewildered expression, Zheng Xian patted me on the shoulder and said, "I have been in power for more than 20 years, and every day is like walking on a knife edge. If I am not careful, the regime will fall and people will lose their heads."

When Li Jin heard this, his legs softened and he fell to his knees with a "pop". He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, be careful with your words."

Zheng Xian sighed softly and said, "But I still have to protect this land and don't want to become a sinner for all eternity."

Zheng Xian paused, then said, "Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Jin lay on the ground and dared not speak.

Of course I understand that he doesn't want to die, so I naturally can't die before him.

I don’t know whether I am Zheng Xian’s lucky person or not, but with this golden ticket of immunity from death, I don’t have to worry about being beheaded from now on.

My mood right now is very complicated, mixed with joy and sorrow.

With Zheng Xian as my big tree, my life will be easier in the future. But there is no free lunch in this world, and Zheng Xian is not a good person. He is kind to me with a purpose.

I am afraid that I will be trapped in the cage that Zheng Xian has woven for me for the rest of my life, with no chance of escape.

I swallowed hard and said, "I understand."

Zheng Xian nodded happily and said, "Very good, I knew Ah Man was a smart person."

But I couldn't be happy at all, and even felt like crying.

I really want to go home.

I like my job, I like watching TV series, I like eating kebabs, I like...

But now I’m not even free to die, what else can I do?

Seeing that I looked depressed, Zheng Xian comforted me and said, "Once Ah Man's case is settled, I will take you to go hunting in autumn."

Is this a slap in the face followed by a sweet date?

I could only respond with "OK".

Zheng Xian then said, "I have one more thing to ask of you."

I didn't expect the topic to change so quickly. I looked at Zheng Xian in confusion, pointed at my nose and said, "Beg me?"

Zheng Xian nodded solemnly.

I said with some amusement: "If the emperor can't handle it, how can I solve it?"

Zheng Xian looked at me steadily and said slowly, "You do, because you are a lucky person. I believe you can definitely help."

In response to Zheng Xian's mysterious trust, I could only say, "Okay, tell me."

Zheng Xian was silent for a while before he said, "My father was poisoned to death by a slow-acting poison. Before he passed away, he executed all the eunuchs and palace maids who served him, not wanting to leave any hidden dangers for me. But not long after the late emperor passed away, I suddenly vomited blood and passed out during the morning court session. After careful diagnosis by the imperial physician, it was discovered that I had been poisoned, and the poison was exactly the same as my father's!"

I exclaimed "Ah!" This scene didn't appear in the TV series.

How come the plot is becoming more and more different from the TV series!

Zheng Xian saw me looking at him in surprise, he smiled bitterly and said, "You will never guess who poisoned me."

"Who is it?" I couldn't help but ask.

Zheng Xian's face darkened, and he uttered three words softly, "Madam Lu."

I exclaimed again, "Your diet is so strict that you have to test for poison before eating. You can only eat if there is no problem. How could you still be poisoned? Besides, isn't Lu Ma your wet nurse? The prince's wet nurse must go through layers of selection and be approved before she can enter the palace. How could she sneak into the palace and poison you and your son?"

Zheng Xian said, "This poison is colorless and tasteless. It is mixed in the food, and the eunuchs' silver needles cannot detect it. Moreover, it is a chronic poison. Even if the eunuchs try the poisoned food, they will not have any problems for a year or two. Lu Ma was selected by the late queen mother, but before we were poisoned, the late queen mother had passed away. The maids and eunuchs around her either left the palace or were secretly executed. We can't trace her at all."

I thought about it and said, "Hasn't Madam Lu been under your control the whole time? Are you afraid that you won't be able to find out the truth now that you've captured her?"

Zheng Xian said: "Madame Lu is very stubborn. No matter how much I torture her, I can't get any useful information out of her. Moreover, she is determined to die. For so many years, I have no way to deal with her."

After hearing this, I couldn't help but blurt out: "The only person who can make a woman suffer so much and still not want to betray her is either her lover or a child."

Zheng Xian's eyes narrowed, and a gleam of light appeared in his eyes. He said to Li Jin who was still lying on the ground: "Li Jin, do you understand?"

Li Jin quickly said, "I understand."

Zheng Xian said, "Ah Man, you are indeed my lucky star. I have something else to do and need to go back to the palace. Zi Yan also knows a little about your background, so you can talk to him if you have anything to say."

Zheng Xian thought for a moment and said, "Madame Lu is already on her last legs, and it will be even harder to get any useful information from her. I want to send her to Zi Yan's residence, hoping that with your luck I can get some information from her."

After Zheng Xian finished speaking, he left in a hurry without waiting for my response.

I cried "Ah", but failed to stop Zheng Xian from leaving.

I glanced at Li Jin, who was still lying on the ground. This poor guy had been kneeling for hours, right? When Zheng Xian left, he didn't even call him to get up. Now, given his personality, he really had to kneel until the end of time.

I thought about it, picked up Li Jin, and said, "Everyone has left, why are you still kneeling?"

"Hey, hey, hey, okay, stop pulling my clothes, you're going to break my neck." Li Jin shouted.

I quickly let go.

Li Jin had been kneeling for too long and his legs were sore, weak and numb. When I let go of him, he almost fell to the ground again. I quickly caught him and forced him to sit on the stool.
