Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 334

Jia Rui pretended not to see this, and then turned to Xue Baochai.

This sight shocked Jia Rui. It turned out that Xue Baochai was pale at this time and was trembling in the corner of the bed.

Jia Rui hurried forward and sat beside the bed.

At this time, Xue Baochai's numb eyes glanced at Jia Rui. She threw herself on Jia Rui as if she had found a savior, and cried "Wow".

Jia Rui felt that Xue Baochai's body was shaking in his arms, and his body temperature was also very low.

Jia Rui sighed, hugged Xue Baochai and patted her back.

With Jia Rui's comfort, Xue Baochai finally slowly fell asleep.

Xue Baochai had not slept soundly for several days. Today, with Jia Rui by her side, Xue Baochai finally felt at ease.

Jia Rui looked at the clock on the table, and then quietly waved to Ying'er, "Ask Wangcai to go to the cabinet and tell me that I have something to take off today."

After Ying'er heard this, she quickly went out to deliver the message.

In this way, Xue Baochai slept until three o'clock in the morning, and then opened his hazy eyes.

The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to look for Jia Rui. It wasn't until she saw Jia Rui sitting next to her that Xue Baochai let out a sigh of relief.

When Jia Rui saw that Xue Baochai was awake, he quickly ordered Ying'er to prepare food for Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai was lying on the bed, staring at Jia Rui and saying, "I'm not hungry, so tell them to stop working."

"How can you not eat? Your body is already weak. What will you do if you collapse if you don't eat?"

Saying this, Jia Rui winked at Ying'er and asked her to quickly prepare the meal.

Ying'er glanced at Xue Baochai and had nothing to say when she saw her, and then went out.

Without even a stick of incense, four or five side dishes were already placed on the round table.

Jia Rui lifted Xue Baochai, who was leaning in his arms, and then helped her to the table.

Xue Baochai couldn't resist Jia Rui, so he could only take a few bites.

After eating, Xue Baochai went back to bed and told Jia Rui what had happened in the past few days.

Jia Rui frowned, feeling a little weird.

Unexpectedly, the other party was so capable that he could control the ghost into Xue Baochai's dream.

But Jia Rui is not afraid of this. If he didn't want to follow the clues to find the other party's lair, Jia Rui would have dealt with this kid when he entered the door just now.

"Baochai, don't worry. I think you just think about it day by day and dream about it at night. What you experienced in the past two days is something you have never seen before, so you have been keeping it in mind these past two days. Only then have you been able to have these few days." Nightmare." Jia Rui tried his best to comfort Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai became anxious after hearing this. She showed her white hands and neck, "If it's a nightmare, what is this?"

Jia Rui had not noticed Xue Baochai's hands and neck since he entered the room. Now he only saw a purple and green mark on Xue Baochai's hands and neck, which looked like he had been bitten.

Seeing that Xue Baochai was injured, Jia Rui was completely annoyed.

This is really disturbing Tai Sui's head. I wonder how many eyes Lord Ma has.

No matter who the other party is, you must find him out this time and let him know how powerful your Uncle Jia Rui is.

Otherwise, if others follow suit, you will really be treated as a soft persimmon.

Jia Rui touched Xue Baochai's wrist and comforted him with a smile: "Maybe it's because I didn't sleep at night and it hurt my hand. It's nothing. It will be fine in a day or two."

Although Xue Baochai judged that this could not be what Jia Rui said, she was still willing to believe Jia Rui, so she leaned her body against Jia Rui again, closed her eyes and nodded.

Jia Rui held Xue Baochai and glanced sideways at the corner. After thinking for a while, he felt that this matter should be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, if he was not afraid, his family would also be troubled by this kind of thing.

But looking at Xue Baochai's appearance now, holding her arm tightly and not letting go, even if she wanted to find someone to do something, she couldn't do anything.

Jia Ruiyu rolled his eyes and had an idea in his mind.

He smiled and said to Xue Baochai, "I'll go out and find a famous doctor for you. You stay at home."

Xue Baochai didn't say anything, just stared at Jia Rui, like a cat about to be abandoned.

Jia Rui touched Xue Baochai's face and said with a smile: "If you are not worried about this, just stay in the ancestral hall for a few hours and wait until I come back."

The reason why Jia Rui asked Xue Baochai to stay in the ancestral hall was because he knew that there were gods in the world of Dream of Red Mansions.

And the founder of Ning Rong's Second Mansion can show up and even deal with various gods in the sky, so he naturally has some abilities.

Therefore, as long as he was hiding in the ancestral hall, no matter what kind of witchcraft the other party wanted to do, he had to get over the spirit of Ning Rong and Duke Ning Rong first.

Xue Baochai nodded reluctantly.

Seeing that Xue Baochai agreed, Jia Rui quickly ordered the maid to change Xue Baochai's clothes.

Soon Xue Baochai finished dressing up, and then Jia Rui and Xue Baochai took seven or eight maids, four or five women, and walked across the garden to the ancestral hall.

After entering the ancestral hall, Jia Rui held a stick of incense and silently came to the portrait of Duke Ning Rong in the middle.

First, he prayed and then placed the incense candle in the incense burner. After doing all this, he turned to Xue Baochai and said: "You stay here well, I will come back as soon as I can."

I don't know if Jia Rui's words had an effect or if it was his own misunderstanding. Xue Baochai only felt that the coldness on his body had disappeared since entering the ancestral hall.

Moreover, she felt a stream of heat flowing through her body, making her feel warm and very comfortable.

"My husband just goes to do some business. I am here to recite sutras and pray for the two ancestors." Xue Baochai said with a forced smile.

Jia Rui nodded, then gave some instructions to Ying'er and Brother Ying, and then turned and left the ancestral hall.

After coming outside, Jia Rui lowered his head and thought for a moment. The other party had quite a lot of magical powers. If he asked ordinary people, he might not be able to find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

Jia Rui didn't know much about these gods and ghosts, so it seemed that he could only go to the palace for help.

Jia Rui really didn't believe it anymore. In this world of gods and ghosts, the Supreme Emperor who rules the world has no back-up plan.

After making up his mind, Jia Rui quickly changed into his official uniform and hurriedly left the Dingxi Hou Mansion.

This time, he did not sit in a sedan, but rode directly to the palace gate with his servants and guards.

The guards guarding the palace gate and the eunuch guarding the palace were a little surprised when they saw Jia Rui coming.

Among them, the eunuch in charge came to Jia Rui with a little trot. He first gave him a thousand dollars, and then asked flatteringly: "Master Marquis, didn't you ask for leave today? Why are you here again?"

Jia Rui forced a smile, and then said: "I have something to see the Emperor."

The eunuch didn't dare to neglect and quickly ordered a young eunuch to follow Jia Rui.

In this way, Jia Rui hurriedly came to Longshou Palace.

Jia Rui dismissed the eunuch at the entrance of the palace, and then led the eunuch from Longshou Palace to the entrance of the side hall.

As soon as Jia Rui stood up, a message came from inside, asking Jia Rui to go in.

After Jia Rui got the words, he immediately entered the side hall with small square steps.

At this time, the Supreme Emperor was leaning against the pillow with his eyes closed, resting there.

Jia Rui quietly came to the side of the Supreme Emperor and bowed to him first. Seeing that the Supreme Emperor didn't respond, he simply stood up and moved to the side of the Supreme Emperor, and gave him a leg lift.

The Supreme Emperor opened his eyes slightly and looked at Jia Rui. There was a smile on his lips, and then he closed his eyes again.

After half an hour, the Supreme Emperor said: "It's almost done. Let's talk about anything."

Jia Rui stood up awkwardly, and then said: "Isn't I in trouble? I'm here to ask the Supreme Emperor for help."

The Supreme Emperor said with a smile on his lips: "Is there anything that can be difficult for our Grand Prime Minister?"

Jia Rui said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, you are so humble. How can a humble minister be called 'big' in front of you?"

"Hahaha." The Supreme Emperor burst out laughing. Then he pointed at Jia Rui and said to Qin Shun, who was waiting on the side: "Your Lord Jia has such a mouth. Even if he is dead, he can still live."

Other people in the hall quickly joined in and laughed a few times.

Afterwards, the Supreme Emperor sat upright and asked Jia Rui: "Tell me, if you have anything to ask me for."

"Your Majesty, you don't know that my house is now haunted by ghosts." Jia Rui said very aggrievedly.

The Supreme Emperor was stunned for a moment, then his face became serious.

Others don't know, but the Supreme Emperor knows these secrets very well.

Although there are these ghosts and ghosts in this world, Jia Rui, as the first rank of the dynasty and his own celebrity, these ghosts and monsters cannot reach Jia Rui.

But now that Jia Rui said that their home was haunted, this was no small matter. You must know that the means to do these things in the home of the current chief minister are extraordinary.

"What's going on?" The Supreme Emperor asked with concern.

Jia Rui pretended to be helpless, and in a cowardly and aggrieved manner, he told the Supreme Emperor everything that had happened at home in the past two days.

The Supreme Emperor frowned after hearing this.

Sure enough, as I thought, there was someone behind it. Otherwise, how could an ordinary kid enter the Dingxihou Mansion?
  After thinking of this, the Supreme Emperor fell in love with Jia Rui again. When he saw this guy, he now looked like a loser, with a sad look on his face.

Seeing this, the Supreme Emperor felt both ridiculous and pitiful.

Who is Jia Rui? He was an invincible general on the battlefield, and he was also the chief minister in the court, and he kept his word.

But such a character was left helpless by a kid.

"Don't worry, this is not a big deal. I will send someone to your home right now to find out who is behind the scenes so that you can sleep peacefully in the future." The Emperor comforted Jia Rui.

Then the Supreme Emperor, like Qin Shun on the side, said: "Go and invite Zhenren Li from Daolu Division."

Qin Shun agreed and trotted out quickly.

　My blood pressure reached [-] today, and I felt a little scared.
