Jia Jing invited the doctor who was consecrated in the mansion over.
He asked, "Do you know if there is anyone in this world who doesn't wake up for a few days in a row?"
"Master, you're talking about the Duke, right?" The doctor immediately understood when he heard what Jia Jing said.
"The Duke is tired from the palace, and he's old.
He was originally supported by a string in his heart. Now,
After returning to the mansion,
This string suddenly loosened, and he fell ill and fell into a coma.
Of course,
In this case,
He would wake up after the old duke had a good rest.
However,
The human body was very complicated. It was possible that the Duke didn't want to wake up.
The human subconscious didn't want to wake up.
I've seen this kind of patient before. "
Jia Jing was silent for a moment.
With his uncle's personality, he was definitely not the kind of person who didn't want to wake up.
From this, it could be seen.
The Emperor really made it impossible for his uncle to participate.
When the dust settled,
He would wake his uncle up. This way, the matter would be settled without hurting his relationship with his uncle. It was really an Emperor's scheme. Heh.
"Is there any way to make a person fall into a coma for a few days?" Jia Jing asked.
"It's not that there isn't any. It's possible to use medicine, but it has to be used continuously. Otherwise, it won't have any effect," the doctor said.
"Tomorrow, go to Xi Province with me. Tell uncle if someone gave him medicine," Jia Jing said.
"This..." the doctor hesitated.
"Is there a problem?" Jia Jing asked.
"Isn't the Duke being treated by the imperial physician? Isn't it inappropriate for me to go again? "The doctor hesitated. He was thinking about one thing now. If the Duke's coma was really caused by someone, then it could only be done by the imperial physician. If the imperial physician could do this, there must be someone behind the scenes. No matter who it was, it was not something a small doctor like him could participate in.
"Don't worry, no one will blame you. If you're really worried, I can change your household registration and let your family leave. Is that okay?" Jia Jing asked.
The doctor sighed and nodded, indicating that he would go to Xi Province with Jia Jing tomorrow to treat Jia Daishan. With his medical skills, choosing to rely on Jia family naturally offended them. Since he wanted others to protect him, he had to pay something.
Before the doctor followed Jia Jing to Xi Province, bad news came.
"Master, Young Master, Grandma, something bad happened. The He family and the Zhang family have been punished by the Emperor." Chen Er ran over and reported.
"What did you say?" Jia Jing felt dizzy. Fortunately, he was sitting in a chair, so it was not a big deal. Jia Zhen was in a daze when he heard the news. Xia Lu also felt a little dizzy.
"Today, the imperial censors jointly reported to the Emperor that the Crown Prince had no choice but to abdicate. Moreover, the Crown Prince forced the Emperor to abdicate because it was his own doing and it had nothing to do with others. The Emperor should release the He family, the Zhang family, and the other families. They didn't do anything wrong." Chen Er quickly told the news he had heard. "After the Emperor heard the report, he was so angry that he directly ordered the Zhang family, the He family, and a series of families on the Crown Prince's side to be beheaded.
"Oh, bastard." Jia Jing heard the news from Chen Er and directly smashed the teacup in his hand.
Xia Lu listened at the side. She felt that something was wrong. Did the imperial censor really want to save these people who had been arrested? Xia Lu felt that something was wrong. If he really wanted to save them, he definitely wouldn't report to the Emperor so rashly. The Emperor had just been forced to abdicate and his mood was unstable. If he really wanted to save them, he could only do it slowly. He shouldn't add oil to the fire and directly admonish them. This would only make the Emperor angrier.
If Xia Lu could understand, how could Jia Jing not understand? After all, this battle was too tragic. The Crown Prince was indeed ruthless and directly killed the other three princes. It should be known that the supporters behind the three princes had invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the three princes. When the Crown Prince killed them, he directly cut off all their efforts over the years. How could they not hate him? The Crown Prince was already dead. If they wanted to vent their anger, they could only vent it on these people who used to support the Crown Prince.
"Master, what, what should we do now?" Jia Zhen looked at Jia Jing. He was at a loss. He also understood that the He family could not be saved.
"It's too late. The imperial edict has already been issued. Even Uncle can't reverse it." A monarch didn't joke. These were not empty words. Jia Jing suddenly felt a little tired. He was tired of these days. He didn't know when this kind of tragedy would return. In the next battle for the throne, Jia Jing didn't know if the Jia family would be able to escape unscathed.
Jia Zhen sat in the chair. He was completely dispirited. He covered his face with his hands and began to cry.
"Chen Er, you take good care of those sent to the northwest. Take good care of them along the way." Jia Jing could only do so much at this moment.
Xia Lu heard that the streets were flooded with blood. The smell of blood did not dissipate for a month.
Jia Daishan woke up. When he heard about the outside world, he only sighed heavily and said nothing. The only thing was that he used the excuse of his old illness to resign from the position of Commander of the Imperial Army. He handed over all the matters in the mansion to Jia Xie and moved to Pear Garden. He no longer cared about the outside world.
Xia Lu held Jia He and Jia Jing's youngest son and sighed. This child fell ill again. Xia Lu's mother-in-law was already very old when she was pregnant with this child. In addition to the difficult birth, this child was born weak. Even if he was taken good care of, he fell ill twice in just one month. This was not what worried Xia Lu the most. What worried Xia Lu the most was the attitude of the other two masters in the mansion towards this child. Xia Lu was very frightened.
Since the child was born, Jia Jing did not ask about him again after holding him once. Jia Zhen, every time she played with this child, Jia Zhen would turn around and leave. He would use the excuse of going to the study or somewhere else. He was unwilling to leave the same room with this child. Fortunately, this child was still young and did not know anything. If he grew up and became sensible, what would happen when the other two masters in the mansion did not like him? Xia Lu suddenly thought of Xichun in the book.
"Madam, Master said that he would personally bring Madam's coffin back to Jinling. I think we should also …" Jia Zhen walked in and was stunned when he saw the child in Xia Lu's arms.
"What did Master say?" Xia Lu walked towards Jia Zhen with the child in her arms.
"Nothing. I suddenly remembered that Master still has something to tell me. I'll go first. I'll come back later." Jia Zhen turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop right there!" Xia Lu shouted angrily.
Xiao Fei, Xiao Cui, and the nanny who served this child were stunned.
"Xiao Fei, Xiao Cui, take them away first." Xia Lu saw Jia Zhen stop and sighed in her heart. She felt that she really should talk to Jia Zhen, so she asked the other maids to leave first.
Jia Zhen turned around and found a place far away from Xia Lu to sit silently.
Xia Lu's eyes reddened when she saw Jia Zhen in this state. Then, she lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms. She saw that the child had actually woken up. He opened his grape-like eyes and revealed a toothless smile. Then, he looked around as though he was curious about everything.
Xia Lu smiled at the child, then looked at Jia Zhen. She walked over to Jia Zhen with the child in her arms. Xia Lu felt that because of her approach, no, because of the child in her arms, Jia Zhen's body suddenly stiffened.
"Let's talk," Xia Lu said.
"Talk about what?" Jia Zhen was a little uncomfortable.
"Talk about this child." Xia Lu went straight to the point.
"What's there to talk about?" Jia Zhen subconsciously tried to avoid this topic. He instinctively felt that this topic was dangerous.
"Do you hate this child?" Xia Lu would not allow Jia Zhen to continue avoiding the topic.
"What's so annoying about it? Our mansion is big, we can't afford to feed his mouth, right?" Jia Zhen's eyes didn't even look at the child in Xia Lu's arms. Her whole body was talking about him.
"It's been a month. This child has been born for a month. Although Madam is in her mourning period, you and Master have not done anything for this child. You don't even want to look at this child, let alone give him a lock of safety. I know what you're thinking. You all think that Madam's death has a lot to do with this child, but is that really the case? If it weren't for this sudden change, would this child be like this now? He would be Madam's most precious son. She would take good care of him, and not me, her sister-in-law, would take care of him. "
Jia Zhen was silent and did not say anything.
The corners of Xia Lu's eyes turned red. He continued, "There were many people who had high hopes for this child, such as Master and you. However, disaster happened. Can you blame him? He was so young. At that time, he was in Madam's womb and didn't know anything. He was born before it was time for him to be born. Didn't he feel wronged? Did he want to harm Madam? Why did you blame him for Madam's death? "
"If Madam wasn't pregnant with him, Madam would definitely be fine." Jia Zhen finally said what was in her heart.
"You can't avoid calamities just because you want to. Even when you're eating, you can choke to death. You can't just think about the cause, you have to think about the effect. Tell me, who was Madam most worried about before she died?"
Jia Zhen did not say anything. He looked at the child in Xia Lu's arms.
"To be honest, it wasn't Master or you. You're all grown up and can take care of yourselves. Madam was most worried about this child. He's still so young and doesn't know anything, right?"
After Xia Lu finished speaking, Jia Zhen reached out and hugged Xia Lu's waist. He rested his head on Xia Lu's stomach and did not say anything.
