Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 616 Getting into trouble
When Jia Xuan heard that he was going to be slapped twenty times, of course he refused to do it.

He was able to endure it just now because he thought his mother would not punish him too severely. But now that he heard that he was going to be beaten, how could he endure it with his domineering personality?

So Jia Xuan pushed away a eunuch beside him, jumped up, ran out of Kunning Palace and headed straight for Longshou Palace.

Jia Xuan is very smart. He knows that the only person who can protect him in the entire palace is the Emperor of Longshou Palace.

As long as the great grandfather said a word, even his father and mother had to listen obediently.

Therefore, Jia Xuan now went to Longshou Palace to seek refuge.

But Xue Baochai was stunned in Kunning Palace. She didn't expect her eldest son to be so unscrupulous.

You know, although they are mother and son, they are also monarch and subject.

Jia Xuan's action was simply disrespectful to his superiors.

"What are you still standing there for? Bring the prince back to me as soon as possible."

After hearing Xue Baochai's words, the palace maids and eunuchs ran out of Kunning Palace to chase Jia Xuan.

Although Jia Xuan had been running for a while, he was after all a child under ten years old and could not outrun an adult, so he was quickly caught up.

However, these palace maids and eunuchs did not dare to take action against Prince Jia Xuan, and could only run with Jia Xuan and persuade him.

"Your Highness, the Queen is already angry, you should go back immediately."

"Yes, yes. Now go back and apologize to the Queen, maybe the punishment can be reduced. Otherwise, you will suffer."

But Jia Xuan had a righteous mind. How could he go back to Kunning Palace to be punished just because of a few words of persuasion? He lowered his head and ran all the way to Longshou Palace.

Jia Xuan was very familiar with the Dragon Head Palace. He had lived here since he entered the palace. Therefore, he ran directly to the door of the emperor's bedroom with ease.

The eunuchs guarding the palace gate had actually heard the chaotic noise outside and were wondering who was so desperate as to make a scene in the Dragon Head Palace.

Now that I have met Crown Prince Jia Xuan, I finally understand what is happening outside.

In the entire imperial palace, the only one who dared to act so unscrupulously in the Dragon Head Palace was Crown Prince Jia Xuan, who grew up in the Dragon Head Palace.

"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."

An elderly eunuch kowtowed to Jia Xuan on the surface, but in fact he was blocking Jia Xuan's way into the bedroom.

Jia Xuan said impatiently, "Get out of my way quickly. I want to go see my great grandfather."

"Oh, Your Highness, the Emperor just took some medicine and closed his eyes for a while. If you go in and startle the Emperor, I will lose my life."

Jia Xuan didn't care about all this. He kicked the eunuch aside and finally entered the emperor's bedroom as if no one was around.

After coming in, Jia Xuan went straight into the small room next to it, which was where the emperor rested.

Don’t think that the emperor’s resting place is very big. It is actually just an ordinary small room.

Feng Shui is emphasized everywhere in the imperial palace. The royal family believes that the resting place should not be too big. Once it is too big, it will leak the luck. On the contrary, a small resting place can store wind and gather energy.

Therefore, whether it was Jia Rui or the former emperor Jia Dairu, the room they rested in was only about ten square meters.

At this time, Jia Dairu had just taken medicine and his illness had not relapsed, so he could rest for a while. However, he was awakened by the sound of Jia Xuan coming in.

Jia Dairu coughed, and the eunuch serving beside the bed hurriedly patted his back gently.

After a long while, Jia Dairu stopped coughing, and then he spat into the spittoon. Although Jia Xuan was lawless, he still cared about his great grandfather who had watched him grow up. Seeing him in such pain, his eyes turned red.

"Great Grandpa, are you feeling better now?" Jia Xuan's voice was tearful as she said this.

When Jia Dairu saw that it was Jia Xuan, he knew that he had gotten into trouble and had come to him to seek refuge.

However, seeing Jia Xuan's sincere tone, Jia Dairu was still very relieved, feeling that it was worth it that he had taken care of him for so many years.

Jia Dairu sat up with the help of the eunuch, then asked with a heavy breath: "What trouble have you caused?"

Jia Xuan moved to Jia Dairu's bedside, sat beside him, took his great grandfather's hand, and said shyly:

"I didn't study hard these past two days, and my mother found out. She wanted to slap me, so I ran over here."

After listening to this, Jia Dairu sighed. He now didn't know whether making his eldest grandson the crown prince would help him or harm him?
In fact, according to Jia Xuan's personality, it would be best for him to be a peaceful and idle king.

"You, if you don't read, how can you know the etiquette? If you don't know the etiquette, how can you govern the world?"

Jia Xuan lowered his head and said nothing.

At this moment, another eunuch came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the eunuchs from Kunning Palace are here to take His Royal Highness back."

Jia Xuan immediately became nervous when he heard this. He grabbed Jia Dairu's hand and shook it gently.

Jia Dairu couldn't bear to see his grandson so nervous, so he could only sigh and say to the eunuch below:
"Tell Kunning Palace that I left the prince here for dinner."

After eavesdropping, the lady immediately went out to reply.

After the people outside left, Jia Xuan became lively again. She started telling jokes in front of Jia Dairu's bed, just to help Jia Dairu relax.

Although Jia Dairu was very tired, he still forced himself to stay awake and talk to his grandson. He did not continue until he could not hold on any longer and then let Jia Xuan play outside by himself.

However, Jia Xuan had just left the bedroom when Jia Dairu fell asleep.

Jia Dairu's fainting frightened the eunuchs who were accompanying him, and they quickly ordered someone to call the imperial physician who was resting in the next room.

When the imperial physician arrived, he was shocked to see Jia Dairu's condition. The emperor was very normal this morning, but how could he have fallen into coma in a short while?

There was a flurry of activity afterwards, but Jia Dairu still did not wake up. Everyone knew that the matter was serious, so a eunuch hurried to find Jia Rui to report it.

At this time, Jia Rui was still handling official business in the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

The world was relatively peaceful during this period. Although some remnants of the previous dynasty would pop up from time to time, they were quickly wiped out by Jia Rui's powerful military strength.

As for other common people, they still welcomed Jia Rui's series of policies, such as the land tax and other policies, so it can be said that the weather was good and the harvest was good.

Because of this, Jia Rui didn't have much to do. When the eunuch came to report Jia Dairu's situation, he had already finished dealing with the memorials and was about to go to Xue Baoqin in the harem.

Now when he heard that Jia Dairu had fainted again, Jia Rui became extremely anxious.

So he didn't even bother to change his clothes and hurried to the Dragon Head Palace with his men.

As soon as I arrived at the Longshou Palace, I saw Prince Jia Xuan circling anxiously there.

Jia Rui, who didn't know the inside story, was still very pleased to see Jia Xuan's look. Although this child was naughty, he was still filial.
