The saint was reviewing memorials in the imperial study. As soon as he finished reading Lin Ruhai's memorial, his face darkened.
After reviewing the evidence presented by Lin Ruhai one by one, the saint's expression became even uglier.
He slammed the memorial on the imperial desk: "Asshole!"
Eunuch Xia, who was serving nearby, quickly spoke to appease him, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"One by one, they are almost bullying me. How can I calm down?!"
Eunuch Xia lowered his head and dared not speak anymore.
Every day, the saint would be annoyed by the memorials from his ministers, and he was almost used to it.
No one paid any attention to him. The Saint was angry for a while, but then he suppressed his anger and wrote the word "appropriation" on the memorial paper. He handed it to Eunuch Xia.
"Write back to Lin Ruhai."
"yes!"
Eunuch Xia took the memorial and went out, intending to send it back to the cabinet.
As soon as I went out, I saw a guard standing outside.
Seeing him come out, the imperial guards bowed and saluted: "Eunuch Xia, the second master of the Jia family, Jia Zheng, wishes to see the saint."
Eunuch Xia had no choice but to turn around and go back to report.
When the saint heard this, a cold look flashed across his eyes: "Let him in!"
"yes!"
Eunuch Xia responded and went out to reply. A moment later, Jia Zheng arrived.
After Eunuch Xia let Jia Zheng in, he went to the cabinet next door and delivered the memorial.
It was common in the past to reply to a memorial separately.
But at that time, most of the matters were urgent.
Several ministers in the cabinet flipped through the memorial and looked at each other in confusion.
In the end, no one said anything. They just copied the emperor's reply as quickly as possible and wrote back to Lin Ruhai.
Not to mention how overjoyed Lin Ruhai was when he received the reply a few days later and how busy he was with the arrangements for his marriage.
At this moment, Jia Zheng stepped into the imperial study and felt that the atmosphere in the study was a little strange.
He didn't think much of it and knelt down to greet him: "Your Majesty, I, Jia Zheng Cunzhou, greet you."
The sage just lowered his head and reviewed the memorials without saying a word, as if he didn't hear his voice.
Jia Zheng was nervous, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
It was unknown how long it took before the saint finally raised his head.
"Huh? Who's kneeling?"
The sage sounded doubtful.
Jia Zheng became increasingly uneasy and acted more cautiously.
"Your Majesty, I am Jia Zheng, the second son of the Jia family."
I muttered to myself, the saint’s acting is so bad!
If he really didn't know who he was, shouldn't the first sentence he shouted be "Help, there's an assassin"?
However, he didn't dare say that!
"Oh! It's Uncle Daishan's son! Stand up and speak!"
"yes."
After kneeling for a long time, his legs became numb. When Jia Zheng stood up, his legs almost gave out and he knelt down again.
He just felt that at this moment, his heart seemed to be hit hard by someone with a hammer, making him more and more panicked and helpless.
"I rarely see you before. What brings you to the palace today?"
Jia Zheng was just a minor official of the fifth rank and had no power to attend court to discuss state affairs, so naturally he rarely saw the sage.
His face flushed:
"I dare not hide it from Your Majesty. I came to the palace today at my mother's request. I beg Your Majesty to make the decision for my sister!"
He said, kneeling down again.
However, his legs were still numb at the moment. As soon as he moved, his legs immediately went weak and he fell to his knees with a thump.
Jia Zheng: ?_?
It hurts so much!
My kneecap seems to be broken!
But in front of the Holy Chariot, he did not dare to shout and could only endure it.
The saint sneered, but his tone sounded calm when he spoke:
"Oh? Tell me first, what happened to your sister?"
If Jia Zheng looked up at this moment, he would definitely see the danger in the saint's eyes.
But he was not very courageous to begin with, and his knees were aching so much that he didn't even dare to raise his head, for fear of accidentally offending the saint.
"Your Majesty, my sister Jia Min was married off by the old sage a few years ago to Lin Ruhai, the current Imperial Salt Inspector. But Lin Ruhai favors his concubine over his wife, leaving my sister in tears every day!
"Now he's poisoning my sister, making her bedridden every day, hoping she'll die! Your Majesty, please help my sister! If Lin Ruhai doesn't like my sister, our family is willing to divorce! It's not like our Jia family can't afford to raise a daughter!"
The sage had not expected what Jia Zheng said.
He lowered his eyes and looked at Jia Zheng in front of him, wondering how credible Jia Zheng's words were.
Lin Ruhai was his confidant, so he naturally believed what he said.
But this Jia Zheng...
"How do you know that Lin Ruhai poisoned your sister?"
The saint's question made Jia Zheng stunned for a moment.
How did he know? Of course his wife told him!
But how did his wife know?
"this……"
Jia Zheng didn't know how to start for a moment.
The saint sneered:
"You haven't even investigated the truth of the matter, yet you dare to speak nonsense in front of me! Jia Zheng, do you know what the crime of slandering an official of the imperial court is?!"
In fact, he had been very dissatisfied with the Jia family in recent years.
After reading Lin Ruhai's memorial today, he was filled with anger.
The sage was filled with discontent and his aura frightened Jia Zheng so much that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"This is what my wife said! I believe she wouldn't just say it casually! Your Majesty, please understand!"
"I will naturally understand!"
The sage looked at Jia Zheng coldly, "You should withdraw first! I will thoroughly investigate this matter!"
Jia Zheng was so frightened that his mind went blank. Seeing that the saint had lost his patience, he did not dare to say anything more and kowtowed hurriedly to leave.
