Chapter 289 Back
What the seventh prince hated even more was that the fireworks he had painstakingly prepared had been overshadowed by that slave boy.
Now everyone praised him for his wit, saying that he was indeed very intelligent, befitting a prince.
But all the fireworks he had painstakingly prepared for his father's pleasure are now gone, and people might even suspect that his preparation of the fireworks tonight was intentional.
Sure enough, that Jia family brat is a jinx; nothing good ever happens when you're around him!
Jia Daishan held Jia Hu in his arms, looking at his grandson's pale face. The heart that had been pounding in his chest finally returned to its normal position. The cool breeze blowing across the water helped him clear his mind and think about what would happen that night.
At first, someone shouted that someone had fallen into the water, and then there was a scene of Hu'er falling into the water. It was even said that Zhen'er was drugged. If Zhen'er wasn't thrown into the water, then this must be aimed at Hu'er.
Jia Daishan's mind was in turmoil. Why had Hu'er and Zhen'er been separated? He would have to ask his grandsons after they woke up to find out.
Tonight, the Seventh Prince prepared fireworks, claiming it was a surprise for the Emperor, which caused the chaos and led to the subsequent events. However, Jia Daishan thought that the Seventh Prince was not responsible for this.
The Seventh Prince's goal tonight is to please the Emperor. If he were to interfere with the matters he is handling, it would displease the Emperor regardless of whether he succeeds or fails, which would defeat the purpose he originally intended.
The person who did this must have known about the Seventh Prince's plan in advance to be able to make the arrangements ahead of time.
In this way, if Hu'er really gets into trouble, the Jia family will definitely not let the Seventh Prince off the hook, even if they know that it is not the Seventh Prince, they will still take their anger out on him.
No matter what the Jia family does to retaliate against the Emperor, it will inevitably sow discord between the Emperor and the Jia family; it is truly a vicious scheme.
As the boat approached the imperial ship, the emperor, who had been waiting by the side, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the return of the people.
Regardless of the benefits that Jia Hu's mentor would bring to the entire court, simply put, if Jia Hu really got into trouble, Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua would probably go insane.
Jia Hu was placed on the bed, his clothes were removed, and he was wrapped in a quilt. The imperial physicians immediately began to treat him.
The Emperor noticed that Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan were both soaked to the bone.
"I'll be here watching over you two. Don't worry, go and change your clothes quickly."
Just as Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua were about to refuse, the Emperor said again:
"Aren't you at ease with me here?"
Jia Daishan replied:
"With Your Majesty here, I am at ease. However, all I wish to do now is to stay by Hu'er's side. I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission."
Prime Minister Ji was old and had not attended the banquet that evening. He had been resting in his room and had gone to bed early. He was only awakened by the fireworks and learned of the great event that had occurred. Upon seeing the Emperor and Jia Daihua, Jia Daishan hesitated and then instructed his servants:
"Go and bring over the clothes of the two dukes. You can change here; it's the same."
At this moment, the imperial physician finished taking the emperor's pulse, and the emperor asked, "How is it?"
The imperial physician replied:
"Young Master must be a regular health enthusiast, and he's in good physical condition. He was rescued in time. He only swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, but he was still suffering from wind-cold invasion after being soaked in cold water for so long."
"What medicinal herbs are needed?" the Emperor asked, then continued:
"Dai Quan."
"The slave is here."
Dai Quan quickly replied.
"Keep an eye on the medication."
After the imperial physician wrote out the prescription and handed it to Dai Quan, he prepared to give Jia Hu acupuncture.
Jia Daishan had also changed his clothes.
When will Hu'er wake up?
"After the acupuncture, the young master was given medicine. If he doesn't have a fever tonight, he can wake up. If he does have a fever, he will need another acupuncture session and will wake up tomorrow."
