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

Yang said "yes" and retreated.

I said to Fuyao, "Go and arrange for a few people to go to the Laurel Palace and secretly monitor my fourth sister's every move, but don't let her find out that they are our people."

Fuyao immediately understood what I meant and replied, "Yes, Madam, I will go right away."

At this time, I saw Zhang Yan standing outside the door, standing very straight, more disciplined than my doorman.

I couldn't help but ask Yingchun with some amusement: "You have been with Zhang Yan for so many days, what do you think of him?"

Yingchun rolled her eyes and said, "This person is stubborn. He has to make some things clear. He can't think flexibly."

I finally laughed out loud and said, "You are lively and he is dull; you are eloquent and he is taciturn; you look sunny and bright and he looks honest and simple. You two seem to be a very incompatible match, but think about it carefully. You are looking for someone to spend your life with, not someone who is just a romantic person. You should feel how good Zhang Yan is to you. Don't let her down. A passionate relationship won't last long."

Yingchun lowered her head and looked at her toes and said, "I know."

I vomited two large mouthfuls of blood, felt a little weak, and went to bed early after taking some medicine.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Zheng Yan took the letter that Master Hui Jing wrote to me before his death and read it over and over again. Finally, he frowned and slammed the letter on the table and asked Wei Yi: "The secret guards have been searching for so long, but they can't even find a capable master. What's the point of me keeping them?"

Wei Yi glanced at the letter and replied, "Your Majesty, Master Hui Jing used his life to exchange for two years of life for the Concubine Dowager. This is not something that ordinary people can do. Your Majesty wants to find a master who is more powerful than Master Hui Jing, but I'm afraid it will be difficult."

After hearing this, Zheng Yan's face darkened. After a long while, he slowly said, "I want to take A Man as my queen..."

Before Zheng Yan finished speaking, Wei Yi said in a hurry, "Your Majesty, no, the Queen Mother is right. She is the concubine of the late emperor, and it is recorded in the jade disc. If you want to marry her as a concubine, it will violate the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, and you will be ridiculed by the world."

Zheng Yan's chest rose and fell after hearing this. After a long while, he slammed his fist on the table and growled, "Many people in the world marry their younger brothers' widowed sisters-in-law and their sons' widowed stepmothers. Why can't I do that?"

Wei Yi secretly rolled his eyes, but finally hid his emotions and whispered: "Your Majesty, many rumors among the people are just rumors, not true. Even if they are true, they will still be criticized. It's just that their words are not important, and they will be ignored after a few gossips. But you are the emperor, and you cannot afford to make the slightest mistake. Everyone in the world thinks you are the leader. If you don't abide by morality and law, how can you convince the people?"

Everything Wei Yi said made sense, and Zheng Yan understood it, but he just felt uncomfortable.

He said in a muffled voice: "I just want to be with her legitimately in her last two years, and let her become the most noble woman in the world."

Before Zheng Yan could finish his words, a secret guard came to report that Cheng Dazhi had met with an accident while investigating a salt smuggling case and was seriously injured and his whereabouts have been unknown since then.

Zheng Yan was shocked. He was the one who asked Cheng Dazhi to investigate the smuggling salt case in private. However, as there were many people involved and some of them were royal relatives, he did not dare to ask someone to investigate it openly. He did not expect that Cheng Dazhi would get into trouble!

Logically speaking, Cheng Dazhi has extensive experience in handling cases, is highly skilled in martial arts, and is also very cunning. There is no reason why he should get into trouble so easily, unless there is an insider who betrayed him.

Thinking of this, Zheng Yan could no longer sit still, and immediately ordered Wei Yi to summon Gongsun Wen and Zhao Zhenyuan to the palace to discuss countermeasures.

After being disturbed by this matter, Zheng Yan no longer cared about me. After all, he could tell the difference between me and his throne.

Ever since Zhao Fangping returned to the palace, I have felt like a mountain was pressing down on me. Even breathing causes pain in my chest.

So the next day I returned to the Duke's Mansion, and left the affairs of the palace to Zhao Fangping.

Because of the smuggling salt case, Zhao Zhenyuan suddenly became busy.

But they searched for several days and couldn't find Cheng Dazhi's whereabouts. Finally, I couldn't help but suggest: "Why don't you take Fourth Sister with you to look for him?"

My words awakened the dreamer, and Zhao Zhenyuan immediately applauded after hearing it.

Zhao Zhenyuan thought to himself that since I could save him, Zhao Fangping could definitely save Cheng Dazhi.

But he didn't expect that I was very skilled in martial arts and had deep internal strength. Although my strength was suppressed to a certain extent because I was far away from Dayu, I was still much better than Zhao Fangping, who was treated like a rich lady.

So, Zhao Zhenyuan immediately went to the palace to discuss countermeasures with Zheng Yan.

After hearing what Zhao Zhenyuan said, Zheng Yan did not hesitate at all. He immediately sent someone to summon Zhao Fangping and asked her to follow Zhao Zhenyuan to rescue people.

Zhao Fangping finally returned to the palace and lived a few days of peace and comfort, but before he had enough, he asked her to save people again.

Zhao Fangping's first thought was that Zhao Zhenyuan was deliberately trying to trick her, and her second thought was that her life was in danger, so should she escape halfway?

Zhao Fangping's thoughts were in turmoil, the only thing he didn't dare to do was to refuse the imperial order on the spot.

Under Zhao Zhenyuan's urging, she had to agree to go and rescue people tremblingly.

But no one knew where to rescue or how to rescue her, and the needle-in-a-haystack rescue method made Zhao Fangping feel extremely frightened. In addition, she couldn't ride a horse, so she had to be equipped with a carriage, which made Zhao Zhenyuan very annoyed.

Zhao Zhenyuan was used to being in a hurry, and saving lives was like putting out a fire, so taking a carriage on the road would seriously affect his actions. However, he was the one who proposed this to Zheng Yan, so he had to bear with it no matter how aggrieved he was.

But Zhao Zhenyuan was not a person who would swallow his frustration silently, so he vented all his dissatisfaction, disgust and disdain on Zhao Fangping.

Zhao Fangping was unwilling to endure the bumpy and hard work, and was also despised by Zhao Zhenyuan. She almost wanted to die. She cried all day long, and Zhao Zhenyuan was so angry that he wanted to strangle her to death.

The two of them tortured each other like this and traveled across most of Dayu. Finally, they found Cheng Dazhi in Zhun'an City and rescued him.

Huai'an City was the place where Grand Tutor Gui was hidden. Although it was wiped out by Zhao Zhenyuan, a thorough investigation revealed that the former city lord Qian Jingui had a close relationship with Yang Guifei, the mother of the fifth prince Zheng Hao. Under the instruction of Yang Guifei, Qian Jingui had been paving the way for Zheng Hao to seize the throne.

Qian Jingui accumulated a huge fortune by smuggling salt, mining and increasing taxes. He also stockpiled a large number of private soldiers, making full preparations for Zhou Hao's rebellion. Unfortunately, Zhao Zhenyuan accidentally destroyed this hideout that could have destroyed Dayu.

Although Qian Jingui is dead, many of his subordinates are still hiding in the dark and doing hidden things. The new lord of Zhun'an City is unable to suppress these people at all.
