Chapter 284: Trampled to Death
For some reason, ever since Jiang Yuanfeng exorcised the evil spirits for him, Ji Bozhou felt that he never got enough sleep.
I woke up in the morning, had breakfast, and slept until I was woken up for lunch.
Now, it was time for dinner again and I was called up again.
In my dreams, there is always the familiar shadow of the female ghost.
He had just put on his clothes with the help of Qing Mo when he saw Ji An rushing into Danbo Zhai, wiping his tears anxiously.
"Master, Master, something's wrong, Master..."
Ji Bozhou gathered his brocade robe and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
"Master, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it won't work..."
Hearing this, Ji Bozhou was shocked and asked hurriedly, "What's going on?!"
"How could such a big change happen in just one day?"
"My father just told me last night about some great news. I was so sleepy today that I didn't have time to pay attention. How could it be..."
He dusted off his clothes, spoke, and ran out with his men.
Ji An jogged behind and explained.
"Yesterday, the master went into the palace and was very happy when he came back. Today, the master said that he didn't wait for anything, and then asked me to follow him to the palace gate."
"After going to the palace gate to ask Lord Pei for information, I went to the Jiang residence. As a result, when the master was brought out of the Jiang residence, he was already unconscious. He was said to have vomited blood and kept vomiting, and then fainted."
"I understand. Let's go and take a look first!" Ji Bozhou listened to everything Ji An said, frowned and rushed in.
If you vomit blood, see a doctor first. It shouldn't be serious.
He believed in his father and believed that he would be able to get through it.
Unexpectedly, Ji An wiped his sweat and continued nervously, "Master, there's more, I haven't finished yet..."
"Later, on the way back, when we reached Yangliu Street, two people from Prince Jin's Mansion suddenly appeared. They were riding their horses at full speed on Yangliu Street. The horses hit our carriage, and the master was knocked out of the carriage and fell to the ground. The horses... trampled him!"
Ji An finished speaking in a hoarse voice, tears already rushing out in an instant.
Ji Bozhou turned around suddenly, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock, "Where did you step on, father?!"
"It should be...it should be the ribs and thighs! But..."
Before Ji An finished speaking, Ji Bozhou waved his hand and said, "Stop talking. I'll go take a look!"
Ji An swallowed the words and was indeed a little afraid to say them out loud.
The master was stepped on in the abdomen, whether he can survive is another matter!
In addition to Ji Xiangli's current injury, what Ji Bozhou found difficult to face was what Ji An said, "people from Prince Jin's Mansion."
Obviously, hadn't she promised him before that she would let the Ji family go?!
Why did he still attack his father?
After Ji Xiangli was carried back, he was placed in the master's courtyard.
As soon as Ji Bozhou arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw deep red bloodstains winding all the way from the outer courtyard to the bed.
"Father!"
Hearing Ji Bozhou's voice, the servants in the house immediately made way for him.
He hurried forward and the moment he stood in front of the couch, his eyes were filled with disbelief.
Ji Xiangli's eyes were closed, his face was sallow, and even his dry hands were bloodless.
Blood was still flowing from his legs and abdomen; his coat and trouser legs were soaked, appearing a glaring dark red.
Ji Bozhou used trembling hands to feel his breath, but it was as if he was pricked by a needle, and he withdrew his breath in an instant.
Fortunately, there is still a faint breath.
At this moment, Ji An behind him could be heard sobbing, "The groom, Lao Zhang, was trampled to death by those two horses while trying to save the master..."
"what?!"
Ji Bozhou looked at Ji An suddenly.
Then he could be heard sobbing intermittently: "All the way back, I was the one driving the horse to bring them both back. So, regarding Old Zhang's funeral, I also need the Young Master to make a decision..."
Ji Bozhou was overwhelmed at the moment. He didn't have time to care about anything else and immediately shouted at Ji An, "You can handle the rest. Now go find the best doctor in the capital, Dr. Cui. Yes, invite him over!"
"Take one of your men and run to the palace to report this. Have the Empress send a top imperial physician. Tell them that something's happened to our father and he needs help! Quick!"
"Yes Yes!"
Hearing Ji Bozhou's anxious words, the two servants Qing Mo and Ji Shan immediately hurried out of the door, one on the left and one on the right.
At this moment, waves of sadness and pain in his heart engulfed Ji Bozhou like a tide. He felt suffocated in his chest and didn't know where to grab onto to find a piece of driftwood that would pull him ashore.
The court doctor is currently trying to stop Ji Xiangli's bleeding.
Looking at the servants coming and going with disorderly steps, Ji Bozhou's legs became weak and it was with great difficulty that he managed to support himself and not fall down.
The moon gradually climbed up the night sky.
Lanterns were lit in every household in the capital.
Ji Bozhou sent Qing Mo to the palace, but when he reached Taihe Gate, he could no longer get in.
The Jinwu Guard raised their swords, majestically and proudly asking with a hint of resistance, "It's already the hour of the dog, and the palace gates are about to be closed. Who is coming here at night?!"
Qing Mo quickly saluted, his throat tinged with tears due to anxiety.
"My two elder brothers, please understand that I am the attendant of the young master of the Ji Mansion."
"Master is in critical condition today. Young Master sent me here to quickly notify the Empress and have her arrange for a royal physician to return to the palace to save Master's life! Human life is at stake, so please, two guards, please help spread the word!"
The Jinwu Guards looked him up and down, and seeing that he did look familiar, they sent one person towards the harem.
Recently, Empress Ji has been bedridden and has even reached the point where she cannot distinguish between day and night.
So at this moment, I went to bed early.
The emperor sat in front of the phoenix couch, looking at Empress Ji's increasingly withered face. His heart felt as if being tightly pinched by a big hand, and he felt very uncomfortable.
At this moment, He Yuanguang walked in from outside and whispered, "Your Majesty, there's a message from the Jinwu Guards outside saying that Young Master Ji has sent a message to the Empress, asking her to arrange for a royal physician to go to the Ji Mansion. Father-in-law Ji was seriously injured today and is in critical condition. His life is at stake..."
Hearing this, the emperor's heart skipped a beat.
Then, a pair of obscure eyes swept towards He Yuanguang inconspicuously: "Is Ji Guozhang ill?"
"How can that be? Quick, go to the treasury and find some of the finest Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, deer antlers, and other things to send to him. After all, he is the father-in-law of the emperor. How did he get injured? I must investigate thoroughly for me!"
As he spoke, he frowned again, "But I'm afraid this matter of the imperial physician is not easy to handle."
"The Imperial Medical Bureau has already been off duty, leaving only two imperial physicians in the palace, dedicated to the Empress and the Empress Dowager. Everyone knows that the Empress and the Empress Dowager are not in good health. If they were sent to the Ji Mansion..."
When He Yuanguang heard what the emperor said, he immediately understood.
"Your Majesty is so considerate of us, and the Imperial Medical Bureau is incredibly grateful. On one side is the Empress, and on the other is the mother. It's said that loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, but Your Majesty has done his best to be absolutely perfect in both. His filial piety to the Empress Dowager, his years of loyalty to the Empress, and his protection of the people and his subjects are truly remarkable."
"Father-in-law Ji is injured, and the Emperor has sent so many precious and nourishing things to him. He has done his part. How can anyone else have such a blessing as Father-in-law Ji..."
The emperor sighed, "Then let's have the storehouse staff search a little harder, have the servant wait, and try to gather twenty kinds of precious nourishing herbs before dawn. Maybe we can help Father-in-law Ji."
"Yes!"
