At Ningguo Mansion, Youshi was extremely busy. Not only did she have to deal with the official funeral, but she also had to deal with two patients, a half-grown child, and a stuffed doll.
Fortunately, her two aunts and two younger brothers and sisters-in-law from Xifu came to help, otherwise she would not dare to think about it.
"Grandma, the Madam is awake. She drank some water but didn't vomit. She even asked someone to bring the fourth daughter over to her for her to see."
"real?"
Yu was extremely surprised and got up and went to the yard over there.
After my father-in-law passed away, my mother-in-law collapsed and everyone said that she was going to follow my father-in-law.
She and Jia Zhen were both frightened and terrified.
Jia Zhen had a shoulder injury and was slightly ill after returning, but he was young and recovered quickly. However, when they were keeping vigil in front of their father-in-law's coffin, they sometimes thought of their mother and couldn't help crying.
They begged their father-in-law not to take their mother-in-law away as well.
Children without mothers are so pitiful, not to mention Yue'er, even they can't do it.
Normally, my mother was such a kind person, wasn't she? But that day, she brought a gun with her, and after saving herself, she followed the guards and rushed to rescue the old man regardless of everything...
The old man said that if his mother had gone a little later, he might have died.
There were also rumors that my mother killed five people with a rifle that day.
Five people!
The emperor was amazed when he saw the files handed over by Shuntian Prefecture.
He knew the strengths and weaknesses of the Jia family's guards.
The royal family didn't mind them sending lower-level officers into the army.
First, there aren’t many, and second, the ones that were sent are truly talented.
No matter which one of them arrives on the battlefield, he can stand on his own.
This is very rare.
There are talented people in the military, but talent alone is not enough.
The soldiers below need to be led.
But those who grew up from small soldiers to flag chiefs all had limited literacy, but the one sent by the Jia family was different.
They can quickly understand the intentions of their superiors and help train troops.
The method is simple, direct and practical.
The emperor once sent people to investigate Jiao Da, the instructor of Jia's guards.
This man was born a soldier. He once carried Duke Ningguo back from a pile of dead bodies on the battlefield.
This alone was enough to earn him a small flag officer position, but he did not join the army.
He is living in the Jia family in his old age, and the Jia family has lived up to their kindness in saving his life.
The treatment given is impeccable.
Mrs. Shen, Jia Zhen and others had four dishes and one soup, and the old man did the same.
He checks his pulse twice a month, and if there's anything wrong, he's either given some medicine or his diet is adjusted. They're really taking good care of him in his old age.
Even Liu An, who was by his side, said that when he got old, it would be great if he could live like a god.
Although that was said in jest, after all these years of companionship, the emperor could hear his envy.
He was also very emotional!
No wonder my father and the crown prince trusted the Jia family so much back then.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has woken up."
The third child came running over.
The emperor stood up at once and strode towards Shoukang Palace, asking, "What did the imperial physician say?"
"The emperor can't speak, can't move his body, and has no strength in his hands."
“…”
The emperor felt relieved, but he quickly shook off the feeling, "Does the emperor recognize me?"
"It seems that he can still recognize people."
Recognize someone?
The emperor's heart was slightly lifted again.
During the few days that his father was lying down, everything he did seemed to go more smoothly.
He has been the emperor for several years, but it seems that only now some people realize that he is the emperor.
The imperial brothers who once fought with him are now very friendly with each other.
The emperor likes the way it is now.
But my father can recognize people...
The emperor saw clearly that day. Although the old man cursed Prince Jin as a wicked creature, he seemed to feel sorry for him when he saw his appearance in the end.
He felt sorry for every one of his sons except him.
The emperor walked slower.
During the years when he was a prince, he was a nobody. If it weren't for the Crown Prince paying attention to him from time to time, he might not have grown up.
When he became emperor, his brothers...wanted to rush over and eat him alive.
Being an emperor was more difficult for him than being a transparent little prince.
At least when I was a transparent little prince, I could live a peaceful life behind closed doors.
But his father acted as if he had taken great advantage of him and would scold him whenever he was unhappy.
Even when I was in the court...
He didn't care about his face at all.
Everyone is richer than him, so during the holidays, he is extremely embarrassed.
He has no money to reward people, and he can't show mercy to people. How can he be an emperor...
The emperor turned around and went to the queen.
"Liu An, has Concubine Zhen been behaving well these days?"
"I asked someone to see her. She has been praying for the emperor in the small Buddhist temple."
People are really praying for the emperor.
After all, she can only be well if the emperor is well.
"Has the Prince of Jin's Mansion sent a letter to Jiangnan?"
Those who can hide poison in their teeth are all death warriors.
Prince Jin has some people on his hands, but if those men in black were really his own, he would definitely not be willing to kill them.
Anyway, the emperor has no money, and keeping a dozen secret guards is enough to make him want to eat dirt. He can't understand the mind of Prince Jin at all.
What can't such a good assassin do well?
Why do you have to fight the Jia family to the death?
The emperor was puzzled, he even suspected that those people were from the Zhen family in Jiangnan.
Or rather, it belongs to Concubine Zhen.
"I handed it over. She said it was from the princess to the old lady over there."
Liu An answered honestly.
The emperor stopped talking.
In those years, it was because of the favor of his father and the support of the Zhen family that Prince Jin surpassed his brothers and even had the strength to compete with the crown prince.
Of course, that was mainly because my father needed to suppress the crown prince.
now……
The emperor looked again in the direction of Shoukang Palace and finally decided to go with the queen.
There was nothing he couldn't say in front of the queen.
He also couldn't understand how the Zhen family and Concubine Zhen could allow Prince Jin to collude with the Japanese pirates and deal with the Ningguo Mansion.
"… Really? Why?"
Hearing the emperor's confusion, the queen understood a little, "I think it's because he thought of the key point that he keeps staring at the Jia family?"
"oh?"
The emperor was very curious, "Tell me, what is so special about the Jia family?"
If he were the Prince of Jin and wanted to seize the throne, he would definitely use the best steel on the blade! "Your Majesty..."
The Queen sighed in her heart, "When did you start to get lucky?"
emperor:"……"
He was stunned for a moment, his expression changed drastically, "You mean..."
"yes!"
The Queen nodded solemnly, "When you drink the water, don't forget the well digger. Your Majesty, I heard that Madam Shen is very ill!"
The royal family is sorry to the Jia family.
"Jia Jing's death must have been a huge blow to her."
“…”
The emperor sighed, "I understand, but we still have to take care of Father for the time being. At times like this, we must be more cautious."
My father is ill, but even a tiger dies and its power never fades, let alone the former ruler of Dazhao? The retired emperor lay on the couch, his eyes crooked, his mouth slanted, and he was drooling.
He regretted that he shouldn't have gotten angry that day.
What in this world is more important than his body?
How come he...
The retired emperor was lying on the couch, wondering which ministers he should summon, when he felt the clothes under him getting hot and starting to smell like urine.
he……
The emperor's eyes widened in disbelief.
He, is he incontinent?
How is that possible?
He is the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven...
"Your Majesty, don't get excited, don't get excited, it will be fine in a moment."
Dai Quan saw that his eyes were rolling up, so he tried to comfort him while signaling the young eunuchs to hurry up.
Two young eunuchs hurriedly lifted the quilt and took off the emperor's pants. Someone else washed his body. Soon, he was lifted up again, a new quilt was laid out, and he got into bed dryly again.
In the eyes of others, he was well taken care of. The eunuchs had their own division of labor and their movements were as smooth as flowing water, fast and good. However, in the eyes of the retired emperor, he was suffering a lot.
His face...
He made a few "hehe" sounds in his throat, but it seemed as if he had a lot of saliva in his throat and couldn't express what he wanted to say.
This this?
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please don't get excited or faint!"
Dai Quan was about to cry, "If you get excited again and faint again, your health will get worse."
The Emperor: “…”
He suppressed his surging emotions, "Zhen...Tai...Yi..."
"Do you want to call the imperial physician? He will be there right away. He will be there right away."
Before he finished speaking, the sounds of hurried footsteps were heard.
“Father…”
There was a strange smell in the room, but the emperor held it in, pretending nothing had happened. "You're awake, that's great. Imperial physician, imperial physician, come here quickly..."
The imperial physician came over, but the emperor's stomach rumbled and he felt something hot, runny, and sticky under his body.
The retired emperor was so ashamed and angry that he fainted from excitement.
The imperial doctors were busy again in Shoukang Palace.
After a while, Concubine Zhen, who was praying in the Buddhist temple, finally received the news that the emperor had woken up.
But……
Looking at the note that said she had aphasia, incontinence, and her hands and feet were not responding to her commands, and that she was paralyzed from then on, she collapsed to the ground.
The Prince of Jin was locked up in the Imperial Clan House that night. With the Emperor like this, what would happen to her son? The Emperor hated them both. When the Emperor could speak and act, outsiders didn't dare to do anything to the Prince of Jin. But now...
Concubine Zhen's tears fell. She suspected that there were many people who helped the emperor to abuse her son without him saying anything.
Ahhh~~~ Concubine Zhen covered her face and cried silently.
She didn't know how the prince whom she had taught with so much effort could be so stupid.
They even colluded with the Japanese pirates.
No, no, no, even if her son wanted to find the Japanese pirates, he had nowhere to go!
It must be Big Brother's...
Concubine Zhen pounded her chest several times.
She regretted so much! She shouldn't have given that team to her son.
He has great ambitions but little talent, is self-righteous, and thinks he is the second smartest person in the world...
Concubine Zhen was very sad.
She once mocked the Shi family of Rongguo Mansion for raising two useless sons.
But now look...
It's just the same as if you were taking 80 steps and then laughing at someone who is taking 100 steps. We are all the same.
What should I do? Looking at the kind-hearted look of the Bodhisattva, two words suddenly popped up from the bottom of Concubine Zhen's heart.
Is it retribution?
Impossible.
It was not her wish to come to this point!
If the emperor hadn't repeatedly given them the illusion that they were mother and son...
No, he not only gave the mother and son a misconception, he also gave Prince Cheng and the others a misconception.
"Retribution! It's really retribution..."
Concubine Zhen covered her face and cried bitterly, murmuring to the emperor in a low voice, murmuring retribution...
But now, the person who was punished is still her so-called support. How cruel is God?
Concubine Zhen is here, worrying about her son who is imprisoned in the clan house. She prays to the Bodhisattva to bless the retired emperor to get better and release her son. In fact, Lady Jia of Rongguo Mansion is also worried about her son.
What to do? Lan Zhi returned to Beijing.
He also brought people with him and killed many Japanese pirates and men in black.
She went to the East Palace several times, looking around, was she looking for Zheng'er? Grandmother Jia was panicked and scared! In this family, Min'er and Jia'er, including Xing and the two granddaughters-in-law, all praised Lanzhi.
If nothing had happened back then, she would have wanted to be Lanzhi's most loving grandmother! She was willing to treat her well.
The Duke was very regretful that his descendants were mediocre in talent and none of them inherited their ancestor's great power.
If he knew that Lan Zhi looked like his ancestor...
Grandmother Jia was in the room, looking extremely worried.
She felt that she should be sick, too.
If she was ill, would Lanzhi be able to treat her son leniently because of her age? Alas, she sighed and thought of a solution, while Jia Zheng in Lixiangyuan was also trying to think of a solution.
In order to avoid Lan Zhi, he even stopped going to the East Palace. But if he could avoid the first day, could he avoid the fifteenth?
"Master~"
Aunt Zhou thought of a solution for him, "The eldest lady of the East Mansion was not feeling well a few days ago. I'm afraid my cousin didn't have the energy to look for the lady and you."
She mentioned Wang first.
"But I just heard that the eldest wife can take medicine without vomiting, and she even asked someone to bring the fourth girl to her for a look."
This is definitely a relief.
As long as she calms down, with the Fourth Young Lady around, the First Wife will basically be fine.
"Now that she's fine, my cousin won't have time to worry about her."
Aunt Zhou said, "If she doesn't come today, she will definitely come tomorrow...or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
This? Jia Zheng looked very depressed.
"Master, instead of waiting for her to come and we are passive, it is better for you to carry the thorns on your back and take the initiative to find her while she is still in the East Palace."
This? Jia Zheng dare not!
I heard that she chops people like cutting vegetables and melons.
Even though the numbers were clearly unequal, they turned the tables and chopped down all the Japanese pirates and the men in black.
Jia Zheng's calves were twisted and his buttocks were extremely painful.
"The eldest master is gone, she can't let the Jia family have another funeral."
Hmm? Jia Zheng raised his head suddenly and looked at Aunt Zhou.
"You didn't actually know much about what happened back then. You just followed my wife's wishes and wrote that letter."
Aunt Zhou taught him, "If she asks again, you can tell her that the mistress has been locked up in the small Buddhist hall. If she is dissatisfied, she can just tell her."
“…”
Jia Zheng was moved.
He wanted to go over right away.
If you stick your head out, you will be killed; if you hide your head, you will be killed. Just like Zhou said, the eldest brother has just died, and no matter how much hatred Lan Zhi has, she cannot really kill him.
If only he were sincere...
"Go! Go and prepare the thorns."
He finally made up his mind, "I'll go talk to the old lady again."
The mother couldn't just watch him die!
Jia Zheng left in a hurry.
Aunt Zhou went out and told the maid to get some more rattan sticks, then she knocked on the door of the small Buddhist hall, "Madam, the master is going to the East Palace to apologize to cousin Lan Zhi. If you are willing, wait for the master to come back and then quickly beg!" (End of this chapter)
