Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

A few days later, Baili was able to sit up, and the wound healed well. Except for the occasional headache, everything else was fine. Today, Xiaopeng had just finished feeding Baili the medicine, and Defang left with a paper bag Come in, "Xiaopeng, the lonely king wants to talk to your father, you go and ask the dining room to cook some delicious food for your father."

"Yes, my lord." Xiaopeng went out of the house, and Defang sat by the bed, "Baili, the lonely king bought you delicious food."

"My lord, how are you going to buy food for the little one?"

"This must be bought by the lonely king." Defang opened the paper bag, "Look, it's sugar cake."

Baili was about to cry looking at the sugar cake, and Defang pinched a small piece, "Gu Wang asked them to add more brown sugar, it's very fragrant, try it."

"My lord."

"Baili, try it."

Baili slowly opened his mouth, and Defang fed him, "Is it sweet?"

"Sweet. Delicious." Baili took the sugar cake and squeezed a piece. He stretched out his hand, "My lord, you eat."

"The lonely king doesn't eat it, this is for you."

"My lord eats."

Defang looked at Baili and choked up tears, "Eat it now. Do I need to call you?"

"My lord, isn't it already called?"

"Then are you still listening?"

"Wake up. I dare not listen anymore."

Defang opened her mouth to eat the sugar cake in Baili's hand, then reached out to cover Baili's eyes, "Baili, brother."

When Defang put down her hand, Baili's face was full of tears, "My lord."

"Don't cry." Defang wiped his tears for him, "Baili, get well soon, the lonely king is not used to you not being around."

"Yes. Baili will be ready soon. Serve the prince."

Defang reached out and rubbed Baili's ears, "I won't pinch my ears in the future, and I can still doze off, okay?"

"My lord, pinch it, it doesn't hurt at all. Baili won't doze off anymore."

Defang smiled, "My mouth is so sweet after eating the candy cake."

At this time, Jia Jun came to the door, "My lord, I will report something later."

Defang patted Baili, "Baili, eat more, there will be stew later."

"Thank you, my lord."

Defang walked to the yard, "Jia Jun, is there any news about the child?"

"Yes, lord, Eunuch Zhang just sent someone to say that there was indeed a servant in the palace who bought a boy, but it wasn't just one person, but four of them bought it, all of which belonged to the servant's private house."

"How old are they?"

"It seems to be about one or two years old."

Hearing this, Defang was very anxious, "It's not too late, prepare the sedan chair immediately, and the lonely king must ask him face to face."

Jiajun followed Defang to the palace, and Zhang Wenxi immediately ordered the servant who bought the child to bring the child to Defang. Defang looked at the four children carefully and asked, "How old are these four children?"

"Going back to the prince, they are all about one or two years old, and they were brought from other counties by relatives in the hometown of these four servants."

Defang looked at the four servants, "Are these four children really from your hometown?"

"Go back to the prince, yes"

"How much silver taels did you spend?"

"Back to the prince, 30 taels." "25 taels" "23 taels" 36 taels. ""

"No." Defang shook her head, "Eunuch Zhang, have no other servants bought children yet?"

"My lord, the younger one only heard about these four." Zhang Wenxi said, "However, there are still a few younger ones in charge who haven't asked. The younger one will inform the prince as soon as possible."

"Eunuch Zhang, the lonely king wants to know if they buy children, will they bring them into the palace for purification?"

"Returning to the lord, the servants buy children privately to keep incense for themselves, and they will not bring them into the palace to purify themselves. The selection of servants in the palace is handled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and only ten taels of silver will be given to the parents of the children."

"Okay, then please ask Eunuch Zhang to find out."
