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

Chapter 184 We meet again

Yiping put on a cloak trimmed with white fox fur for me, and then put on a white fox fur hat. I looked as gentle as jade, and looked like a handsome young man.

While tying the belt of my cape, Yi Ping said, "Second sister, you look really good dressed like this. Not to mention other girls, I would be moved when I see you."

I pinched Yiping's cheek and said, "You are very handsome. You must follow me closely when you go out next time, or you will be seen by some hungry wolves who will try to take you away!"

Yi Ping blushed, rolled her eyes at me, and said, "You are still a girl, but you speak like a playboy without manners."

I laughed out loud, but I laughed so hard that my throat started to itch. I lowered my head and started coughing violently. As I coughed, I actually coughed up a large mouthful of blood!

Yiping looked at the scarlet blood on the ground and was so scared that he couldn't help but scream.

Ankang, who was guarding outside the door of the main house, and Zheng Xian, who was sitting in the main hall, both rushed in.

When they saw the blood on the ground, they were also shocked.

Zheng Xian's face darkened and he shouted, "Quickly call the imperial physician!"

Wei Yi quickly responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then he walked out quickly.

Ankang rushed over to help me, but the wound on his shoulder was touched and the blood quickly stained the clothes on his shoulder red. However, he didn't care and looked at me with concern.

I pulled a white handkerchief out of my sleeve, wiped my mouth, and said to Yiping, "Ask Yingchun to pack up, we're leaving soon."

Zheng Xian held my hand and said, "Don't go out today. It's snowing outside and the road is slippery."

I smiled and pulled my hand back, saying, "I'm craving for the shabu-shabu mutton at Wangyue Tower. It's just right to eat hotpot on such a cold day."

After saying that, I strode out.

Zheng Xian had no choice but to walk out with me with a gloomy face.

I took a few steps and suddenly turned around and said to Ankang, "Your wound has burst open. Go back to your room and rest well while the imperial physician comes to bandage you. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back. Don't follow me today."

Ankang's eyes were red, and he finally nodded and watched me leave.

Zheng Xian had already asked someone to light a charcoal fire in my carriage, and also spread a thick fox fur blanket and a thin rabbit fur blanket in the carriage, so it would be warm enough to sit in the carriage.

My carriage was not big, just enough for Yi Ping and I, so Zheng Xian had to travel in his carriage.

The location of this house is a bit remote, surrounded by farmland and the mountain behind it is planted with fruit trees. Farmers live at the foot of the mountain, working from sunrise to sunset and returning home at sunset.

At this time, the land was not frozen hard yet, and farmers were busy harvesting cabbage and radishes in the fields. There were a few cows grazing leisurely on the grass beside the fields. After the farmers finished harvesting the cabbage and radishes, they harnessed the oxcarts and drove the cows to transport the vegetables back home. The trees on the distant mountains had lost all their leaves and were covered with a thin layer of snow, like a white hat. When the sun came out, the snow melted and the mountains returned to their bare and gray appearance.

I looked at everything outside the window, and I finally wondered why Zheng Yan placed me here.

It is quiet and peaceful here, with fresh air. It is indeed a good place to recuperate.

The carriage moved forward slowly and soon arrived at Chang'an Street. The carriages of Zheng Xian and I were ordinary and would not attract anyone's attention.

We soon arrived at Wangyue Tower, which also served breakfast, but the price was too expensive so not many people came to eat there.

I found a seat in the lobby that was relatively out of the way but still had a good view of the main entrance and sat down. Zheng Xian felt that the lobby was too conspicuous and would easily expose our identities, so he insisted that we go to his exclusive VIP New Year's Eve room, but I didn't indulge him because I came here today to see Gui Lannuo. What else could I see if I hid in the room?

Seeing that he couldn't persuade me, Zheng Xian had to sit down with me and sent Wei Yi to the Zhengyue Room, because Wei Yi's appearance was too special and no one who had seen him would forget him.

Wei Yi didn't want to leave, but was finally glared at by Zheng Xian and left.

I didn’t expect the breakfast at Wangyue Tower to taste so good. It seems the high price is justified.

Although I didn't have a good appetite, I still ate several crab roe dumplings, shrimp steamed buns, and half a bowl of fish skin wontons, which made my stomach feel uncomfortable.

I was drinking tea to help digestion when suddenly a figure appeared beside me. I looked up and saw a man in a black coarse cloth, with a black silk ribbon tied around his hair and a pair of black cotton short shoes on his feet. He was looking at me with a smile and said, "Long time no see, Shengping."

Everyone calls me Zhao Man, and no one ever calls me Sheng Ping.

I looked at the man in front of me in astonishment. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and two thin lips that were grinning, revealing a few big white teeth. Although he was wearing rough black clothes, he looked pretty good.

I'm pretty good at recognizing people, but I searched through all my memories and just couldn't remember where I'd seen him before.

When this man appeared beside me, I suddenly felt the temperature drop by several degrees. I couldn't help but pull my cloak closer and said with a stuttering voice, "Excuse me, who are you?"

The man pursed his lips and said aggrievedly, "I didn't expect Sheng Ping to forget me. Didn't I say we would meet again? Did you forget me so quickly?"

When I heard this, I instantly thought of a person, that is Li Yan, the river god of the underworld!

I looked at the man in front of me in disbelief, my eyes widened, and I spoke even more incoherently: "You, me, it's impossible."

Li Yan said awkwardly, "I missed Sheng Ping, so I came up secretly to see you. Are you okay?"

Now I am finally sure that he is Li Yan.

When in the underworld, Li Yan's face was like a plaster face, white, stiff and creepy. But now, although the facial features are still somewhat similar, the whole face seems to have been replaced and is completely unrecognizable.

I swallowed hard and said, "How could you leave the underworld and come to the human world?"

Li Yan smiled again and said, "I am already a divine body. I am not bound by the Three Realms and can travel freely through the Three Realms. But I am afraid of scaring you, so I have to enter your dream to meet you."

"Entering a dream? This is my dream? Not reality?" I was surprised again.

Li Yan smiled and nodded, saying, "I just wanted to come up to see you. I didn't expect your soul to be so broken. Fortunately, I came in time, otherwise I'm afraid you would really go to the underworld to meet me soon."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he took out a black bead from his pocket and said to me, "Come on, open your mouth."

I was stunned by his actions. I couldn't help but think of when Jigong was saving people, he also reached out his hand from his arms and rubbed it into a big mud ball to treat people.

I was so scared that I quickly shook my head and said, "What is this? I don't want it!"
