Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

【Three years later】

In March 979, the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo, Concubine Di had a sudden emergency and fell into a coma. The medical officer Wen Qi was busy diagnosing and treating decoctions. He was haggard, and he looked listless when he went to court. Seeing this, Emperor Taizong asked him not to go to court for the time being, and to discuss court affairs after Concubine Di's condition stabilized.

Concubine Di occasionally wakes up for a while, opens her eyes and sees Defang, and calls her name softly, Defang holds Concubine Di's hand, "Ma'am, you are awake"

Concubine Di moved her mouth, but couldn't speak. Defang hurriedly fetched water and fed it with a small spoon. Concubine Di made a slight sound, "Where are the children?"

It was only then that Defang realized that she hadn't seen the two children for a few days, but she couldn't let Concubine Di worry, so she said, "Xu'er and Xian'er are both fine, Madam don't need to worry."

Concubine Di gasped, "I want to see them."

"Ma'am, let's take a break."

Concubine Di closed her eyes and shook her head, Defang had no choice but to call the medical officer Wen Qi, and hurried to find Weixu and Weixian, and saw the second wife Fu Shi holding Weixian in the corridor of the courtyard, leading Weixu away Come, Defang hastily greeted her, and when Fu Shi saw Defang, she hurriedly saluted, "Concubine sees Your Highness"

"Second lady, don't be too polite, what are you?" Defang asked

"I just brought Wei Xu and Wei Xian back from dinner"

Defang hugged Weixian and said, "Madam just woke up, and I want to see Weixu and Weixian, I'm going to take them there"

"The concubine and His Highness will visit the madam together."

Defang looked at Fu Shi and thought for a while, "Okay, let's come with the second lady."

The two brought their children to Concubine Di. Concubine Di's face was flushed and sweat was dripping from her forehead. She looked very weak. Concubine Di was very happy to see the two children. Concubine's bedside, because she was just over one year old, she didn't know why her mother was lying down, so she just sat obediently, keeping her eyes on Concubine Di, Concubine Di touched Weixian's face and smiled, Xiao Weixian Lie on Di Fei's body.

Medical officer Wen Qi called De Fang aside and said, "Your Highness, the concubine's condition is very serious, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Defang was very anxious seeing the medical officer's expression of hesitation.

"Your Highness, Concubine Di is in a hurry and has not improved in the past few days. If the fever does not subside, the officials may not be able to treat her."

Defang froze there, he never thought it would be like this, after a while, Defang took the medical officer's hand, "Medical officer Wen, please cure Madam, I can't look at Madam... " Defang was very sad

"Your Highness, I understand that I will do my best," said the medical officer.

Concubine Di lying on the bed seemed to know what the medical officer was going to say, with tears in her eyes, she looked at the two children reluctantly, Fu Shi also wept quietly when she saw this, and at night, Defang sat in front of Concubine Di's bed. Beside the round table, I felt very sleepy, and fell asleep on the table after a while. Suddenly, the door of the house was gently pushed open, and it was the second wife, Fu Shi, who walked in. She looked at Defang and gave him Putting on a piece of clothing, she came to Concubine Di's bed, wiped off the sweat on her forehead and body, and changed the towel and water. Concubine Di woke up at this moment and was surprised to see Fu Shi, and asked softly, "Is it my sister?" ?"

Fu saluted, "Ma'am, Your Highness has been very tired for the past few days. He just fell asleep, and the children just fell asleep, so I came to see Madam."
