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

Yingchun glared at Zhang Yan again and said unhappily, "Just shut up."

Zhang Yan quickly covered her mouth with her hands and nodded desperately.

Seeing that Zhang Yan couldn't even stand up as a husband, Yang couldn't help but shake her head. She was afraid that the couple's future would be difficult.

Yingchun weighed all the herbs, put them into a clay jar, added the peeled chicken, and then put it on the stove to simmer over a slow fire.

After doing all this, she washed her hands, wiped them with a white handkerchief, and said, "Today, during dinner, I also carefully looked at those nobles. Some of them are indeed not very peaceful. If we keep such people, we can't guarantee that they won't learn from Concubine Li to oppress the good people and cause chaos in the harem when they ascend to the throne. Most importantly, the queen is afraid that these people will bully the empress dowager and His Highness the Ninth Prince like Concubine Li did."

After Yingchun finished speaking, she looked at the fire in the stove and continued, "The Queen is not someone who loses her sense of propriety. Don't worry, Sister Yang. We'll talk about it after the Queen wakes up tomorrow."

Yang had no other choice but to do this.

Before leaving, Yang glanced at Zhang Yan and said, "It's getting late, Team Leader Zhang, please go back early."

Zhang Yan still covered his mouth. He glanced at Yingchun, who rolled her eyes at him and said, "Didn't you hear what Sister Yang said? Why don't you leave now?"

Zhang Yan covered her mouth, turned around and ran away at full speed.

When Yang saw Zhang Yan leave, she said to Yingchun, "Yingchun, Zhang Yan is a simple and honest child. You should stop bullying him."

Yingchun was a little speechless and said, "I bullied him? He comes every day and it annoys me to death. If the queen hadn't told me to get along with him first, I would have chased him away long ago."

Yang sighed and said, "If you don't like Zhang Yan, you should tell him clearly. This kid is stubborn. Don't let him wait for you all his life."

Yingchun didn't say anything after hearing this. She bit her lower lip tightly, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The next day, while I was still having breakfast, Fuyao handed me a booklet containing the investigation results of the concubines.

These concubines all have prominent backgrounds, some are the daughters of city lords, and some are the daughters of powerful people in the capital. Touching any of them would cause considerable trouble.

I was just thinking about what to do when Zhao Zhenyuan and Gongsun Wen came to my palace together after leaving court.

Seeing them talking and laughing, I was surprised to find out when they became so familiar with each other.

Zhao Zhen saw that I didn't look very well, so he blamed me a little, "I told you to rest at home, but you insisted on going to the palace. Look at your face, it's as pale as if it was covered with dust. Why don't you listen to my advice?"

I touched my face. Although I couldn't see my complexion, I knew it wouldn't look good.

The sound from the bracelet is like being engraved in my mind, buzzing all the time, making it impossible to fall asleep. How can I look good if I can't sleep all night?

Gongsun Wen glanced at me casually and said, "Your complexion is indeed bad. Have you called the imperial physician to see you?"

I nodded and said, "The imperial physician prescribed some medicine for me, and I take the medicine on time every day, but I still have trouble falling asleep, so my face looks a little ugly."

Gongsun Wen frowned and said, "I know a quack doctor who is very skilled in medicine, but he is elusive and hard to find. I will send someone to find him to treat you immediately."

I know it's useless to ask anyone for help. My time is almost up and I'll just have to hold on for the rest of my days.

But I still said, "Thank you, Prince Ming. I will wait for good news."

Yue Zhenyuan said: "My father sent people to look for a hundred-year-old ginseng, but this kind of medicinal material is hard to come by. So far, we have spent countless silver coins and only found one. My father brought it to you today."

After Zhao Zhenyuan finished speaking, he took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to me.

Yang took it for me, held it in front of me and opened it. I saw an old ginseng as thick as a baby's arm lying quietly in the box, and a rich and refreshing fragrance wafted into my nose.

I took a deep breath and said, "It is indeed a good ginseng. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Zhao Zhenyuan waved his hand and said, "Money is not a problem, it's just that this thing is hard to find. But don't worry, Ah Man, your father has already spread the word that as long as there is a ginseng that is over a hundred years old, I will definitely pay a large sum of money to buy it. I believe that we will receive the top-quality hundred-year-old ginseng soon."

I knew very well that no amount of century-old ginseng could repair my broken body, but I couldn't bear to reject Zhao Zhenyuan's kindness, so I smiled and said, "In this case, I'll have to trouble you, father."

I thought about it and said to Gongsun Wen, "My elder brother has been disturbing you a lot. If Prince Ming feels it is inconvenient, just send him back home. Prince Ming does not need to worry about anything."

Before Gongsun Wen spoke, Zhao Zhenyuan said anxiously, "A'man, what are you talking about? Your elder brother is very well behaved in the Ming Palace. On the way here just now, I talked to Prince Ming about your elder brother. Prince Ming kept praising your elder brother for being studious and motivated, saying that he was a good candidate for study. But Prince Ming felt that as a general who had guarded the border for many years, his son could not just study and be lazy, and become a weak and incompetent person. So he suggested to me that I find a powerful master to teach your elder brother martial arts. I think this suggestion is very good. Although your elder brother is a little old and it is a little late for him to learn martial arts, it is not afraid of being late if you have the will. My son, Zhao Changguang, must not be a man with strategy but no courage."

I was stunned. Asking Zhao Jinping, a weak scholar who couldn't even lift a chicken, to practice martial arts? The scene was too beautiful to imagine.

But seeing Zhao Zhen's high morale, I could only agree, "Father is right. How can a man of such dignified character be like a soft-legged crab and have no ability to protect himself? Please, we must ask the best master to teach us."

Zhao Zhenyuan was very happy to hear this, he laughed loudly and said, "Ah Man, what you said is exactly what I want."

Gongsun Wen saw that although I looked bad, I still looked energetic and lively, and his cold eyes also showed a hint of smile.

Seeing that both Zhao Zhenyuan and Gongsun Wen were there, I told them about the concubines. They are both smart people, so if I can't think of a solution, maybe they can.

As expected, as soon as I finished speaking, Gongsun Wen frowned and said, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and has not yet appointed a queen. You simply do not have the energy to take care of the affairs of the harem. The empress dowager is so soft and can protect herself. If the harem is in chaos, then Dayu will be in danger."

Zhao Zhenyuan also echoed, "Prince Ming is right. In fact, judging from the way Ah Man dealt with Concubine Li this time, she is more than capable of managing the harem. But Ah Man's body really cannot be overworked. Otherwise, how about bringing my rebellious daughter back to the palace and letting her learn to manage it?"

Zhao Fangping has been sent out of the palace for several months. She must have suffered enough in these months. It would be a good idea to bring her back and use her as a weapon to eliminate those disobedient concubines.
