One of the guards replied: "Master Jade Guard is still in Jiangnan. Although the other guards followed Master Thirteen back to the capital, they were sent back home by Master Du Thirteen to celebrate the New Year."

I see.

Jia Rong scratched his head and then remembered that guards and bodyguards were different. He happily gave a few pieces of silver to the guards guarding the door, and then asked: "Master Thirteen, can you get up?"

A guard replied: "I have sent someone to inform you that the prince is going to the front hall to wait for a while to rest. The prince just returned to Kyoto a few days ago and has to stay in the palace until late at night before returning. Yesterday was New Year's Eve.

, the prince and his wife were having a banquet in the palace, and they came out of the palace only when they were busy."

It's midnight, isn't it midnight?

Jia Rong asked the prince again when he returned to his residence yesterday and when he took a rest.

The guards were unwilling to say anything, and said with a smile: "Master, please don't embarrass me. How can I dare to reveal these secrets of the prince?"

Seeing that they were unwilling to say anything, Jia Rong stopped asking. He walked straight to the front hall, passed the Yimen, and met a small eunuch.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were seeing relatives.

"Hey, those servants couldn't tell clearly. They thought who came to the palace so early in the morning. It turns out to be our Lord Rong. Come on, come on. Sir, please go sit in the hall for a while. We will go to the backyard to report.

"

Jia Rong asked with a smile: "What? Could it be that the Thirteenth Master hasn't gotten up yet?"

The little eunuch said: "I shouldn't have said those words in the first month of the year, but the Thirteenth Master has never treated the Lord as an outsider. We can only complain in front of the Lord. Alas, the Thirteenth Lord has always been in poor health.

It's even more uncomfortable in this cold weather. There was a big banquet in the palace yesterday, and the prince couldn't leave early, so he suffered from such pain all night. When he came back from the palace, he invited some imperial doctors to take a look, and he worked for an hour or two.

Then let the prince sleep."

That's it.

Jia Rong said nervously: "Is the prince okay?"

"There are no big problems, they are all old problems. Your Majesty also knows that Thirteenth Master has worked hard these years, and the roots of the diseases left by the past are still there today," the young eunuch replied.

Jia Rong sighed. When he went to the Lema Lake Palace to complain that day, he found that King Zhongshun's legs and feet were not very agile. It seemed that the problem had recurred there. He said: "Since the prince is not feeling well, it is not appropriate for me to come here."

I made a quarrel, Your Majesty."

The young eunuch asked: "What do you mean, Sir?"

Jia Rong put down the gift in his hand and said, "When the weather is fine and the prince is feeling better, I will come and visit you at noon."

The young eunuch thought for a moment and thought it was feasible. He said: "Then when the prince wakes up, we will send these things over for him."

"I'm sorry."

Jia Rong cupped his hands and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. King Zhongshun's health was getting worse and worse. He even suspected that if this continued, King Zhongshun wouldn't be able to survive for a few more years.

Sad!

Jia Rong's feelings towards King Zhongshun are complicated. Firstly, he admires King Zhongshun for his conscientiousness. Secondly, he admires the royal family for being considerate of the people. Thirdly... Ningguo Mansion is now under the protection of King Zhongshun.

He knew very well that without the protection of King Zhongshun, Ningguo Mansion would not have reached this point.

Jia Rong really couldn't imagine what the relationship between Ningguo Mansion and the royal family would be like if King Zhongshun suddenly disappeared one day.

After leaving the front hall, he was about to leave the ceremony door.
