Chapter 176: Layer by Layer
After Li Qingze's wife Zhong and Princess Li left, Zhao Guifei lay back on the brocade couch.
There is a carved iceberg piled up in the red golden lotus pot next to it, braving the slightest cold, and the hall is unusually cool.
Zhao Guifei thought and touched her slightly bulging abdomen.
If nothing else, the child in her womb is His Majesty's only heir, the prince who will be sure in the future, but His Majesty actually set up Lin Jia as his heir, Lin Jia holds the military power, and her child will be born in the future, how can she fight Lin Jia?
It seems that he still has to listen to the Li family's words and wait for the opportunity to clean up Lin Jia, but now he can only slowly say bad things about Lin Jia on the pillow......
At this time, the Jade Hall Hall was very lively.
After Emperor Yongtai took Lin Jia to summon several important cabinet ministers, he collapsed on the imperial couch exhausted.
There are two large gold plates in the hall, and the icebergs in them are cold, making the hall a little clammy and cold.
Lin Jia silently put the splendid pillow behind Emperor Yongtai, let Emperor Yongtai lie down more comfortably, and then unfolded the thin brocade quilt on Emperor Yongtai, then sat on the side and began to massage Emperor Yongtai's head.
Emperor Yongtai has a headache, and every time he gets a cold, he will relapse.
The ice in this jade hall is used too much, I'm afraid that it will be cold at night!
As soon as Lin Jia ordered someone to move the ice tray out, Yang Wen came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, Imperial Doctor Xu has come to ask for peace pulse!"
Emperor Yongtai didn't want to speak, his eyes opened slightly, glanced at Lin Jia, and closed them again.
Lin Jia said, "Imperial Doctor Xuan Xu come in!"
Imperial Physician Xu is a middle-aged man with a thin face and quite elegant, and after reading the pulse of Emperor Yongtai, he hesitated and stopped talking.
Seeing him like this, Emperor Yongtai frowned and said, "I feel cold and panicked when I arrive in summer, but if I don't use ice, my palms and feet are hot, what's wrong?"
Imperial Physician Xu hurriedly got up and took a step back and knelt down: "Did Your Majesty have an injury to his waist more than ten years ago?"
Emperor Yongtai was helped by Lin Jia to sit up, and his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly at Imperial Doctor Xu: "Eighteen years ago, I was hunting in Songshan Mountain, and I fell off my horse and hit my waist on the rock, and I was indeed injured!"
Imperial Physician Xu's face was pale and he didn't say a word, but just kowtowed again.
Emperor Yongtai saw that something was wrong, and looked at Imperial Doctor Xu with cold eyes, and his voice was suppressed: "Say!"
Lin Jia hurriedly whispered: "Father, let irrelevant people step down!"
Emperor Yongtai knew from Imperial Physician Xu's attitude that things were not so simple, so he nodded.
Lin Jia made a gesture with an expressionless face, signaling the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting in the main hall to retreat, leaving only the big eunuchs Ding Gonggong and Yang Wen.
Only then did Emperor Yongtai look at Imperial Physician Xu: "Say, I forgive you for your innocence!"
Imperial Physician Xu raised his head with a pale face, and his lips were a little pale: "Your Majesty, the minister found that Your Majesty's kidney veins have long been cut off, and it should be caused by Your Majesty's safari injury eighteen years ago......"
Emperor Yongtai had already realized that something was wrong, reached out and held Lin Jia's hand, and said slowly: "What are the consequences of the severed kidney veins?"
Imperial Physician Xu kowtowed again, and then said: "The palms and feet are hot, the body is weak, and premature ejaculation ......."
Finally, his voice lowered significantly: "...... Infertility ......"
Emperor Yongtai's face turned blue, his hands were protruding, and he was about to faint: If I am infertile, then how did Zhao Guifei's pregnancy come about?
However, there are not a few beauties in my harem, why have the palace concubines never been pregnant in the past eighteen years? Eighteen years ago, there was a ......
He already understood in his heart, but he still said: "Ah Jia, let Imperial Doctor Xu go to the side hall to rest for a while, and announce another imperial doctor to come over!"
Lin Jia replied "yes" and went to make arrangements.
After Father-in-law Ding retreated, Lin Jia served Emperor Yongtai and lay back again.
Emperor Yongtai's face was already white and blue, and his lips were grayish-white, and the whole person seemed to be in his teens.
He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened his eyes and looked at Lin Jia.
Lin Jiafeng looked at Emperor Yongtai with clear eyes, and said softly: "Father, take a rest!"
Emperor Yongtai looked at Lin Jia and his very handsome face when he was young, and finally got some comfort in his heart: Anyway, it's good to have Ajia......
Soon Gonggong Ding brought another kind of imperial doctor.
Before he could speak, he heard Emperor Yongtai sigh and say, "Is my kidney pulse broken?"
The Imperial Physician was silent for a long time, and then replied "yes".
After the imperial doctor retreated, Emperor Yongtai withdrew Yang Wen and Gonggong Ding, opened his eyes and looked at Lin Jia, his voice hoarse: "Ah Jia, what should I do?"
Lin Jiaxiu's long phoenix eyes were unfathomable, and after a while, his voice was clear and firm: "Father, immediately send someone to seal off Zhao Guifei's bedroom in the name of being infected with smallpox, detain the palace maids, eunuchs and female officials in Zhao Guifei's palace, and interrogate them separately."
Emperor Yongtai closed his eyes: "You can do this thing!"
Lin Jia was silent for a moment, replied "yes", but said: "Father, Yang Wen and Ding Dang are your cronies, let them preside over this matter!"
Emperor Yongtai naturally agreed.
At this time, Zhao Guifei was discussing with the female official how to murder Lin Jia.
The female official Shangguan said several ideas, but Zhao Guifei felt that it was inappropriate. She thought for a while, and said triumphantly: "This palace is so delicate, then Lin Jia must covet my beauty, why don't I follow Diao Chan and separate His Majesty and Lin Jia?"
The female official glanced at Zhao Guifei, and felt that this plan was inappropriate, but she didn't dare to say more: "Whatever Niangniang says, it's what it is!"
Just then, there was a commotion outside.
Zhao Guifei was furious, and immediately said, "Go and see what's going on?" Someone dares to be presumptuous here in this palace! ”
A palace maid staggered in: "Niangniang, Gonggong Ding and Gonggong Yang are here with people!"
Zhao Guifei's heart sank, and she raised her eyes to look over, only to find that Ding Dang and Yang Wen, two favored eunuchs, came in with a team of forbidden troops with full armor and sword in their hands.
She slumped to the ground.
Gonggong Ding and Yang Wen were interrogated until late at night, and how Zhao Guifei and those palace maids and eunuchs could withstand heavy punishment were all explained.
Lin Jia thought for a long time, and then took Ding Dang and Yang Wen to see Emperor Yongtai.
Emperor Yongtai didn't expect that Li Qingze's mansion was actually involved at this time, and he trembled with anger.
Seeing this, Lin Jia hurriedly said: "Father, according to the confession, this matter was presided over by Concubine Li, Mrs. Li, and Princess Li, and Li Qingze didn't know about it."
Emperor Yongtai lay back on the royal couch in a dejected manner, and said for a long time: "Ajia, raid the Li Mansion and summon your stepmother, Princess Li, you are responsible for all this!"
Lin Jia held Emperor Yongtai's hand and said softly: "Father, I should avoid this case!"
Emperor Yongtai was also afraid that Lin Jia would be embarrassed, so he pondered for a moment, and then said: "Let the Criminal Department Shangshu and the Internal Affairs Office jointly come to trial!"
Fu Yongzhen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has always been impartial and has never formed a party; And the head of the Internal Affairs Office is Han Xiwen, who is recommended by Lin Jia, and he is also a minister, which is also suitable.
At this time, Father-in-law Ding personally came in with a tray with a decoction.
Lin Jia took the decoction, scooped some and tasted it, and felt that the temperature was just right, so he went to feed Emperor Yongtai.
Emperor Yongtai couldn't help but smile when he saw that Lin Jia drank the bitter medicine but his face did not change: "You kid is really not afraid of hardship!"
Lin Jia smiled faintly: "After my mother died, I have been poisoned so many times, and I have been taking all kinds of bitter medicines, I have long been used to it!"
When Emperor Yongtai heard this, he immediately remembered the sins that Princess Li had made over the years, and said: "Ajia, you can't be cheap Li!"
Lin Jia smiled slightly, fed Emperor Yongtai a sip of the decoction, and then said, "Father, look at the result of the trial!"
The next day, when Emperor Yongtai's health improved, Lin Jia went back to his house to rest.
At this time, it was already evening, and the hollyhock flowers in the flower pond under the corridor were blooming, snow-white and bright red, and beautiful.
Yu Yu leaned on the red lacquer railing and reached out to touch a blooming snow-white double-petaled hollyhock.
Li Rui strode over, stopped at the foot of the steps, and replied: "Aunt Qiyu, the people from the Internal Affairs Office have gone to the Dark Fragrance Courtyard!"
Yu Yu raised his eyes and looked over, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's so good!"
She turned and went into the bright room, lifted the curtain of the bedroom door and looked inside.
The bedroom was quiet, the iceberg white smoke curled in the red golden lotus basin next to the dressing table, the white smoke was mixed with a light mint fragrance, and the Western gold self-striking clock placed on the dressing table made a "click" walking sound, and occasionally Lin Jia's very light breathing sound was heard.
Yu Yu walked over and kissed Lin Jia, who was sleeping soundly, on the lips.
Lin Jia opened her eyes, and her phoenix eyes were still a little confused.
Yu Yu smiled slightly: "Ah Jia, Princess Li was taken away by the Internal Affairs Office!"
Lin Jia suddenly came to her senses: she is finally going to start taking revenge!
There is a change at five o'clock in the afternoon~
