As a servant, he was kicked by a second-generation ancestor, how could he have the right to feel wronged?
Kou Ji watched Kou Zhong hunched over and left the courtyard where his bedroom was, and sighed slightly.
Wang Yuan did go a bit too far.
Kou Zhong was an old servant who had been with Kou Zhun for many years. I can't say that the relationship between the two was as close as brothers, but they had long since broken away from the category of master and servant.
On weekdays, if Kou Zhong did something wrong, Kou Zhun would not even scold him, but would just casually tell him to be careful next time.
Now he was actually kicked by Wang Yuan.
How could he feel comfortable?
When Wang Yuan kicked Kou Zhong for the first time, he could still understand it.
Perhaps because he was anxious to see Kou Zhun, he couldn't hold back his emotions and kicked Kou Zhong.
But the second time Wang Yuan kicked Kou Zhong, this excuse could not be explained.
Both Kou Zhong himself and Kou Ji could feel that in Wang Yuan's heart, Kou Zhong was just a servant.
A servant of the Kou Mansion.
Only he knows how uncomfortable Kou Zhong feels.
Kou Ji could sense that Kou Zhong was unhappy, so he spoke to comfort him.
When Kou Ji returned to the bedside, the imperial doctor who was waiting on one side to watch the show looked at Kou Ji seriously for the first time and said with emotion: "Master Kou is reasonable but not deceptive. He has the demeanor of a gentleman...
"
Kou Ji glanced at him and said calmly: "I made you laugh..."
The imperial doctor waved his hand and said: "I can understand, I can understand, there is no one whose parents are short-lived."
The imperial doctor wanted to talk to Kou Ji, but Kou Ji was reluctant to talk to him.
The two of them chatted wordlessly.
The imperial doctor kept talking, and Kou Ji only spoke occasionally to deal with it.
Kou Zhun didn't wake up for a moment, so Kou Ji and the imperial doctor had to stay in front of the bed and wait.
In a blink of an eye, the night passed.
The officials who were guarding the Kou Mansion did not leave and were waiting for news.
Several times I tried to force my way in to see Kou Zhun, but Kou Ji stopped me.
The next day.
early morning.
When the sky is bright.
Li Di barged into the bedroom.
After entering the door, he cried out: "Brother Kou, if you don't wake up, there will be chaos in the court."
Kou Ji squatted in front of Kou Zhun's bed. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Judging from Li Di's words, it seems that a lot of things happened in the court in just one day and one night.
"Brother Kou, wake up!"
Li Di threw himself in front of the bed and shouted loudly.
Kou Ji tried to dissuade him, but he pushed him aside arrogantly.
Li Di lay on the bedside, tugging on Kou Zhun's sleeves, and wailed: "Brother Kou, that guy Ding Wei jumped out again. In just one day, Wang Zeng was dismissed as the third commander. The third commander was dismissed by Ding again.
It is said that the villain was robbed.
If you don't wake up, the court will be controlled by that villain Ding Wei."
"He dares!"
Kou Zhun woke up.
Without opening his eyes, he yelled two words domineeringly. It was obvious that he heard what Li Di said.
Kou Ji and Li Di both happily came to the bed.
"grandfather!"
"Brother Kou!"
"..."
Kou Zhun opened his eyes, which were a little cloudy. After a brief moment of confusion, he slowly came back to his senses.
Kou Ji quickly called the imperial doctor, "Hurry and take a look at my grandfather."
The imperial doctor rushed forward to help Kou Zhun take a pulse.
Kou Zhun raised his hand to push him away, but he didn't.
He found that his hands were weak and weak.
He lay on the bed and murmured: "I... what is... wrong?"
Kou Ji quickly recounted everything that happened after Kou Zhun fainted.
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Kou Zhun was stunned for a while, and then slowly said: "I actually... fainted?"
Kou Zhun struggled to get up, but couldn't.
Kou Ji quickly stepped forward to help him up.
Kou Zhun pushed Kou Ji away and tried to stand up with his own strength, but he couldn't stand up no matter how hard he tried.
Finally angry, he beat the bed with his weak hands.
The imperial doctor whispered advice on the side, "Kou Xiang, you have worked too hard and your body is weak. You need to stay in bed for a long time..."
Kou Zhun clenched his fists, then unclenched his fists, and then clenched his fists again.
This went back and forth a dozen times.
Kou Ji could see unwillingness from his actions.
But in the end, Kou Zhun still released his fist.
It seems like a compromise.
Kou Zhun let out a long sigh and said quietly: "Help me get up..."
Kou Ji stepped forward and helped Kou Zhun up.
Kou Zhun relied on Kou Ji's strength to sit up and sighed: "I had already guessed that I would fall down, but I didn't expect that I would fall down so early."
Li Di opened his mouth, wanting to talk to Kou Zhun about government affairs.
But when he saw that Kou Zhun couldn't even sit up now, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.
However, just because he didn't say anything, it didn't mean that Kou Zhun wouldn't ask.
Kou Zhun glanced at Li Di weakly and asked in a low voice: "After I fainted, what did the Queen and Ding Wei do?"
Li Di hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
Kou Zhun frowned, "Didn't you just say that they were just Wang Zeng's third envoy?"
Li Di hesitated again and again and said, "Yes! The Queen and Ding Wei joined forces to kill Wang Zeng's three envoys."
Kou Zhun said in a deep voice: "What's the reason?"
Li Di gritted his teeth and said: "Jiangning Prefecture's salt collection is insufficient. It is twice as low as last year. It is found that the supervision of the third department is poor, and Wang Zeng is implicated."
Kou Zhun narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "It seems that the queen and Ding Wei have been prepared for this, waiting for me to fall."
Li Di said angrily: "Who says otherwise? It takes six days to go from Jiangning Mansion to Bianjing City at a high speed. Just as you fainted, something happened in Jiangning Mansion. How could the news reach Bianjing City in just one day? This
It would be strange if there wasn’t something fishy in it.”
An angry look flashed across Kou Zhun's face, and he said in a deep voice: "I just fainted, but I'm not dead. They are so bold and reckless, and they really don't take me seriously.
I want to enter the palace and talk to them."
Hearing this, Kou Ji quickly spoke to persuade: "Grandpa, you need to rest now..."
Kou Zhun said angrily: "If I rest for a few more days, won't they turn the world upside down?"
"Help me get up, I want to enter the palace!"
Kou Ji couldn't resist Kou Zhun, so he helped Kou Zhun stand up.
Kou Zhun staggered a few steps, then suddenly his eyes widened, his head tilted, and he fainted again.
Kou Ji and Li Di were startled and quickly helped Kou Zhun back to the bed and lie down.
The imperial doctor rushed forward to diagnose and treat him.
After checking the pulse carefully, Li Di and Li Di said to the anxious Kou Ji: "Don't worry, Mr. Kou only fainted after not eating a grain of rice for a day and a night, and because of his physical weakness."
When Kou Ji heard this, he let out a sigh of relief.
He immediately left the bedroom and asked Kou Zhong to prepare some food and send it over.
Kou Zhun didn't faint for long this time, and he faintly woke up after burning a stick of incense.
After waking up, Kou Ji immediately fed him some rice porridge.
Seeing that Kou Zhun was struggling to eat, Li Di said with a sad look on his face: "Brother Kou, it seems that you can't enter this palace."
When Kou Zhun heard this, he felt a little absent-minded. After a long time, he sighed.
"My body..."
Li Di sighed and asked, "What should we do now?"
Kou Zhun frowned and said nothing.
He couldn't think of a good countermeasure either.
Kou Ji hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively: "How about... write a memorial begging for the bones and send them to the palace?"
