Xia Lu and the others quickly arrived at Rongguo Province.
The imperial physician that Jia Zhen had invited also arrived.
The imperial physician took Jia Daishan's pulse.
He frowned.
"Imperial physician,
Is my master in any danger? "Jia Zhen's mother looked at the imperial physician with a frown.
She had a bad premonition in her heart and quickly asked.
The imperial physician took back his hand and sighed, "Anger attacked the heart.
There are signs of a stroke. "
"What?" Jia Zhen's mother almost fainted.
Jia Xie also became worried and quickly asked, "Imperial physician, is it serious? Can he be cured? "His father had galloped on the battlefield for so many years.
He was indeed an unyielding man.
If,
Because of his physical condition,
He could only lie on the bed and need someone to serve him.
It would be more painful than killing him.
"We have to wait until the Duke wakes up. However,
No matter how serious it is,
He can only recuperate in the future.
If he is too happy or angry,
His condition will worsen.
Once it reaches the point where the Duke cannot bear it,
There will be no way to save him. "The imperial physician sighed.
He continued, "This old man will go and brew the medicine first. There shouldn't be so many people guarding this room to disturb the Duke's peace."
"Yes, thank you, imperial physician," Jia Xie quickly said.
"Since that's the case, we'll take our leave first. Duke Rongguo, please send someone to inform us of your final situation. If you need anything, please send someone to inform us." The men from the Shi family and the Wang family were very perceptive. Previously, they thought that Duke Rongguo was just pretending to faint to send Prince Zhongshun away. They didn't expect that he really fainted from anger. Thinking about it, if it was their own son, not only did he want to drag down the entire family, he also schemed against other relatives and friends. They were afraid that he would faint from anger.
"Thank you." Jia Xie didn't urge them to stay. After all, the Wang and Shi families were separated by a layer. They couldn't help even if they stayed.
"What exactly happened? How did Old Master suddenly become like this?" After the Wang and Shi family left, Jia Xie's mother finally couldn't hold back and asked Jia Xie.
Today, he actually invited Prince Zhongshun. Father said that our Jia family will only be royalists and will not participate in the struggle for the throne. Women are not allowed to enter the palace as concubines. But what about him? Not only did he rely on Prince Zhongshun, but he also wanted to pull the Jia family, the Wang family, and the Shi family to his side. He simply doesn't know what he's talking about. "This time, Jia Xie was really angry. It was the first time she spoke to Jia Daishan like this. She looked at Jia Daishan, who was still lying on the bed, and her whole body was about to explode.
Jia Xie's mother opened her mouth and habitually wanted to defend Jia Zheng. However, looking at the angry Jia Xie and the angry Jia Daishan lying on the bed, she swallowed the words that she wanted to defend Jia Zheng.
"Jing Da Ge, I'll have to trouble you to take care of this place. I still have other things to take care of." His father was ill, and the Retired Emperor would definitely send someone to inquire about it. If he heard that it was because of Prince Zhongshun's arrival, he was afraid that the Retired Emperor would have a problem with it. No matter what, Prince Zhongshun was the Retired Emperor's biological son.
"En, you can go." Jia Jing sighed.
After Jia Xie left, Jia Jingdao said, "Zheng 'er, Ruhai, you two must be tired today. Take your wives to rest. I'll keep watch here."
"No, Jing Da Ge, I want to keep watch over my father." Jia Min shook her head, expressing her refusal.
Jia Jing looked at Jia Min, sighed, and said, "Alright then, you stay here. Zhen 'er, bring your wife back. Bring the little ones back too. The children are too young, it's easy to disturb Second Uncle."
"Yes." Jia Zhen did not refuse. Although he was unfilial, the children were still too young. If his father's illness passed, Second Uncle would be even more worried.
Xia Lu followed Jia Zhen back and asked, "What will happen today?"
Jia Zhen shook his head. "I don't know. I think we'll have to wait until Second Uncle wakes up." Jia Zhen faintly felt that Second Uncle might split the sect. Uncle Zheng had really gone too far this time.
Xia Lu could only go with Jia Zhen and wait for news in Ningguo Province.
In the evening, Jia Daishan woke up at a quarter to nine. He could not move and could not speak clearly.
"Father, father, don't be agitated." Jia Min and Lin Ruhai, who were guarding Jia Daishan, sensed the movements of the Jia Daishan and hurriedly surrounded the Jia Daishan's bedside. At this time, the imperial physician who was brewing medicine outside heard Jia Min's cry and quickly came in. He reached out and took the Jia Daishan's pulse.
At this time, Jia Jing, Jia Xie, and Jia Daishan's mother also came in. They looked worriedly at the Jia Daishan who was lying on the bed.
The imperial physician carefully took Jia Daishan's pulse and carefully examined him. After the examination, the imperial physician said, "There's nothing wrong with him anymore. Duke Rongguo, you have to take care of yourself. You have to remain calm and not be too happy or sad."
Jia Xie was relieved. Jia Jing looked at the imperial physician and then followed him out.
"How is Duke Rongguo's health?" Jia Jing asked.
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "Just now, I was afraid that Duke Rongguo would be agitated. Duke Rongguo's health has always been poor. Because he did not take good care of himself when he was young, he was covered with internal injuries. Originally, these officials had already suppressed them. However, this time, Duke Rongguo was angry and agitated, causing internal injuries. I'm afraid that this year …" The imperial physician hesitated. Jia Daishan's health was already very poor, and this time, he had a stroke. He was afraid that he would not be able to survive this year.
Jia Jing was a little dizzy. These years, his second uncle's health had always been poor. Jia Jing was already mentally prepared. However, when he heard the imperial physician say that his second uncle would not be able to survive this year, he did not dare to believe it.
"Is there no other way?" Jia Jing asked.
The imperial physician shook his head and said, "Duke Rongguo's health has already been depleted. Now that this situation has occurred, unless there is an immortal in heaven, there is no way to save him." The imperial physician could not bear to do so. Duke Rongguo had spent half his life in the military and had followed the Retired Emperor through fire and water. He was an unyielding hero. However, this could not change the fact that a hero had reached the end of his road. Duke Rongguo was old.
"Thank you, imperial physician. However, I hope that you can keep this a secret from my second uncle," Jia Jing said.
"Don't worry." The imperial physician sighed.
Jia Jing returned to the room and looked at Jia Min, Lin Ruhai, Mother Jia, and Jia Xie who were all asking about Jia Daishan's well-being. He did not know how they would react when they found out the truth.
Jia Daishan saw Jia Jing through the gaps in the crowd. He stretched out his hand and waved at Jia Jing, indicating for Jia Jing to come over.
Everyone hurriedly made way for Jia Jing to come to Jia Daishan's bedside.
Jia Daishan grabbed Jia Jing's hand and said with difficulty, "Split, split, split the clan."
"Master!" Before Jia Jing could say anything, Mother Jia exclaimed. Splitting the clan was just a name. Master was abandoning Zheng 'er. "Master, no, absolutely not. Zheng' er is just temporarily confused. He has a good heart. He wants the Rongguo Province to be good. He wants to have a backer in Rongguo Province. He did not do it on purpose …" Mother Jia quickly explained to Jia Zheng. Splitting the clan meant that Jia Zheng had been abandoned by the clan and would be despised in the future.
Feeling Jia Daishan gasping for breath, Jia Jing said loudly, "Min 'er, take your mother out first."
Jia Min was shocked and hurriedly said, "Mother, mother, let's go out."
"That's right, Mother-in-law. There will be plenty of time in the future. Father-in-law can't be provoked now," Lin Ruhai also persuaded.
"Jia Jing, I am the wife of the Duke Rongguo, a first-rank noble lady. You have no right to do this." Mother Jia was angry and angry, but she was also a little scared.
"First-rank noble lady? Haha, our Ningguo Province is the clan, and Zheng 'er is the clan leader. Even if you are a first-rank noble lady, the wife of the Duke Rongguo, it can't change anything. You are just a woman of a Jia family. If you go too far, Zheng' er, as the clan leader, has the right to divorce you on behalf of Second Uncle. You know that Second Uncle can't be provoked now, so don't be presumptuous here." Jia Jing's face was cold, and he held Jia Daishan's hand tightly with both hands.
Mother Jia was frightened, and she looked at Jia Jing in horror, not knowing how to react.
Jia Min took the opportunity to come to Mother Jia's side, and she pulled and pushed Mother Jia away from Jia Daishan's bedroom. In fact, Jia Min was also a little scared of Jia Jing. Logically speaking, Jia Jing was a scholar, so Jia Min should be very fond of her. However, Jia Min was a little scared of Jia Jing, not only because Jia Jing was much older than her, but also because she saw a shadow of her father in Jia Jing.
"Mother, don't be stiff with Big Brother Jing," Jia Min persuaded softly.
"It's not that I'm stiff with him, it's just that he bullied me too much. He actually said that he would take your father's place to divorce me. I've been married into the Jia family for so many years, and I've raised children, served my in-laws, and managed the inner residence. What have I not done well? Even now, he still treats me like this, it's simply as if he wants to gouge out my heart." Mother Jia couldn't stop crying. Now, what she was most worried about was Jia Zheng. If by any chance they really separated from the main family, what would happen to her Zheng 'er?
"Did you forget? The imperial physician just said that Father can't be too happy or sad. You kept crying inside and making Father upset, what if his illness worsened? Big Brother Jing only said such things in a moment of desperation. Mother, you don't have to be sad, "Jia Min comforted her.
At this point, Mother Jia cried even harder. She took Jia Min's hand and said, "Min 'er, Min' er, your father's favorite child is you. Go in and beg your father, okay? This time, it's Zheng 'er's fault. He's still young and will always be confused by petty people. He didn't do it on purpose. Go and beg your father, please don't separate from the main family."
Jia Min didn't know what to do. She glanced at Lin Ruhai at the side and felt very awkward.
"Mother-in-law, let's wait for Father-in-law to finish talking with Big Brother Jing before we go and beg for mercy. Father-in-law is now in a fit of anger, so it's not appropriate to bother him. But Big Brother Jing is different," Lin Ruhai helped Jia Min out of her predicament.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'm so anxious that I'm confused. Let's wait, let's wait for Jing 'er to come out first," Mother Jia thought of Jia Daishan's health and the imperial physician's advice. She looked at the door of the inner chamber and waited for Jia Jing to come out.
