Chapter 29: Saving the Son
Grandmother Jia was filled with worry, secretly regretting that she should have told him last time.

But then I thought of his pedantic character and shook my head, thinking he probably wouldn't believe me even if I told him.

If Jia Hu was angered, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As for Jia She, she didn't even think of this person. In her eyes, only Jia Zheng was her son.

Jia Zheng turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, and the servants did not dare to tell him about these rumors.

So Jia Zheng was having a great time chatting with his guests in Mengpo Zhai.

Yuanyang saw Jia Zheng here and looked at his expression, and felt relieved. It seemed that this guy didn't know yet.

"Second Master, the old lady wants you to come over."

Jia Zheng was truly filial. He stood up immediately after hearing this.

"What's wrong with the old lady? Let's go, let's go quickly." His face was full of worry.

In Rongqing Hall, Jia Zheng was relieved to see his mother Jia was safe and sound.
"Ma'am, I'm glad you're okay."

Jia Mu felt very comfortable and smiled.
"I'm fine. I asked you to come here because I have something to tell you."

Jia Zheng hurriedly said respectfully

"You say."

Jia's face turned serious.

"Your Aunt Zhao is really outrageous. She actually tried to rob Tanchun's money.
As a result, she was caught by Hu Ge'er, who gave her a severe lesson."

"What?" Jia Zheng was startled, then frowned and said
"Brother Hu? Who is this person?" The last time he came, he happened to miss Jia Hu and did not see him.

Grandmother Jia sighed. It was hard to describe Jia Hu's presence.

"You forgot, he is your eldest brother's illegitimate son, born to the same mother as Yingchun, and his name is Jia Hu."

After this reminder, Jia Zheng had a vague impression in his mind.

"It seems there is such a person." Then he frowned and said
“Then he can’t teach either.”

"Zheng'er." Grandmother Jia immediately interrupted Jia Zheng with an extremely serious expression.

This expression startled Jia Zheng, and he stammered:

"What...what's wrong, old lady?"

Jia Mu said slowly

"I told him to do it, and no matter what happens, you can't bother him."

Jia Zheng looked at his mother in surprise.
"Why?" He could understand the first sentence, but he didn't understand the second one.

Grandmother Jia narrowed her eyes and said in a deep voice

"Because he is also my favorite grandson, and he belongs to the eldest wife. You have no right to make decisions." This was a bit harsh.
There was no other way. In order to save Jia Zheng's life, she had done her best.

Jia Zheng widened his eyes and looked at the old lady in shock. Wasn’t she the one who loved Jia Baoyu the most?
Feeling a little complicated, I nodded.
"Mother, my son knows."

Jia's mother breathed a sigh of relief and her voice softened.
"He usually doesn't leave his yard, so just ignore him."

Jia Zheng had one good point, that was he absolutely listened to his mother's words, and by now he had recovered.
"Yes, old lady."

In the imperial palace, in the imperial study, a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe, with a dark complexion and gloomy eyes, was sitting there.
There was an old eunuch kneeling below, and the atmosphere in the room was somewhat depressing.

"Your Majesty, I sent someone to check.
One thousand cavalrymen seemed to have completely disappeared. "Xia Shouzhong lowered his head and said in a trembling voice.

Emperor Qianwen, who was sitting at the top of the table, looked at Xia Shouzhong with cold eyes and asked, "Are you sure?" His voice was icy cold.

Xia Shouzhong couldn't help but shiver violently.
"I sent three groups of people to look for him, but they all found nothing."

"Where is the emperor now?"

Xia Shouzhong said quickly
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned to the Dragon Head Palace."

Emperor Qianwen narrowed his eyes
"Damn old thing, how much strength do you have hidden? Even this can't kill you." His face looked very ugly.

What a great opportunity this is! That old guy actually dared to leave the palace alone, but in the past he was always followed by a large number of imperial guards.

Xia Shouzhong, who was below, wanted to cover his ears. How could he hear this? He could only press his forehead to the ground and dared not raise his head.

"Huh" Emperor Qian'an let out a long breath, glanced at Xia Shouzhong coldly, and said lightly
"Go and investigate carefully what the emperor was doing outside the palace. If you make any mistakes again, you will lose your head."

Xia Shouzhong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His life was saved for the time being. He hurriedly said

"I obey your command." After saying this, he lowered his head and slowly retreated.

Emperor Qianwen was the only one left in the room, his eyes flickered.
"You old man should be able to guess that it was my handiwork.
But so what? He can't do anything to me without evidence." He thought about it carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.

There was a flash of resentment in his eyes. If the old man hadn't clung to power, would he have to do this?
The Dragon Head Palace seemed very peaceful, as if nothing had happened, and Emperor Qianwen was not summoned.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, as it was exactly as he had guessed.

In the Dragon Head Palace, the emperor was sitting on a couch, and an old doctor was carefully checking his pulse.

Suddenly his face changed, and he looked up at the emperor in disbelief.
"This this."

Dai Quan asked hurriedly
"What's wrong? Doctor Wang, is the emperor's body okay?"

Doctor Wang came to his senses and said
"The poison has been cured. I lost my temper. Please forgive me."

A hint of joy flashed across the eyes of the Emperor, and he laughed loudly.

"Haha, what crime have you committed? Isn't this a good thing?"

Doctor Wang said quickly
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me how to cure this poison?" He had no choice, because he had always been the one treating the Emperor.
Now that he saw that the unanticipated poison had been cured, it would be strange if he, as the imperial physician, was not curious.

"How dare you." Dai Quan's face changed and he shouted angrily.

"Plop!" Doctor Wang was so frightened that he fell to his knees, his face pale. He was really out of his mind to dare to ask such a question.
"Emperor, spare my life"

The emperor was obviously in a good mood and waved his hand.
"Get up, it's okay, back off."

Doctor Wang left with gratitude, secretly feeling lucky that he had saved his life.

When he left, the emperor's smile faded, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"He knows too much, Dai Quan, get rid of him secretly."

Dai Quan had known this would happen, and immediately said respectfully

"Old slave obeys the order."

The emperor's eyes became deep, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Next, I will teach my son how to be an emperor." The words made Dai Quan shudder.

Li Liang didn't expect Jia Hu to buy such a weird thing. He ran around for a long time.
I didn't buy everything until it was almost dark. Money makes things easier.

Soon, one by one, tightly covered wooden barrels were moved into Jia Hu's courtyard.

Jia Hu carefully checked it and was very satisfied. It was indeed an ancient time without pollution.
These poisonous insects are not only large in size, but also have stronger vitality.
