Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Mother's Empress" Wei Xu knelt in front of Concubine Di, "Baby."

"Ma'am" Kou Zhun said, "The establishment of the forum this time will be handled by the eighth governor of Yeluge, and he sent envoys to invite the prince to go to the Liao Kingdom, but the prince is seriously ill and cannot make it, so I think that this trip is only for His Highness." He and Mr. Sun only can take on this important task. His Highness is the son of the prince, and Mr. Sun is the disciple of the emperor who is most respected by the prince. If you send someone else to go, if there is a verbal conflict or a lack of courtesy, the minister may hinder the two countries just now. We have established friendly diplomatic relations, so I insisted on letting His Highness go."

Concubine Di nodded, "I understand Prime Minister Kou's intentions, Xu'er, the prime minister is also your father's close friend, and now that the state affairs are at hand, the prime minister will not arrange this if it is not a last resort."

"Mother's Empress" Wei Xu nodded, "My child understands. The child will follow the prime minister's wishes and live up to his mission."

The next day, Emperor Zhenzong ordered Tuiguan of Kaifeng Mansion, Prince Zhongyun, and grandson of Zhiji Xianyuan to serve as envoys for Liao's mother's birthday. Go to Liao State to attend the Liao State Mother's Birthday Ceremony.

Before leaving, Wei Xu knelt in front of Defang, held his hand and said, "My lord, my son is not filial, and he will leave Beijing for a long time. You are seriously ill on the couch, but my son can't serve you. Please, father, you must get better, my son." This trip will definitely fulfill the emperor’s order and return.”

Concubine Di on the side touched Weixu's head, "Xu'er, your father and king can hear you. I must be very pleased that you can bear the emperor's order and make contributions to the country."

"Mother's Empress" Wei Xu looked at Concubine Di and said, "Please take care of yourself, Father will definitely get better."

Concubine Di nodded, the tears still didn't stop, Wei Xu lay on Di Concubine's lap to comfort her, and then went out of Beijing with her guard Tian Cheng and Sun Zhi.

It has been more than half a month since Defang's old injury recurred, and the high fever has subsided, but her body temperature is still high, and she has not woken up. The wound is swollen and hard to go away, with occasional pus and blood oozing out. Defang's complexion is slightly pale at this time, and breathing has begun Become weak, the situation is not optimistic, Jin Shangde and all the imperial doctors are helpless.

Concubine Di cooks some clear soup every day, and then feeds Defang to drink a little. Seeing that he is getting thinner, there is nothing he can do. Concubine Di fainted twice because she stayed at the bedside to take care of him all day. Several children persuaded her Rest well, but she couldn't resist Concubine Di's insistence, so the children stayed with her every day, for fear that Concubine Di would have something to do.

When Zhenzong learned of Defang's situation, he was very anxious, and summoned Jin Shangde and the imperial doctor to ask, "National player, how is the injury of the emperor's brother? Why haven't you woke up for more than half a month?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the prince has a fever all over his body, the wound is swollen, and there is pus and blood oozing out. So far, using decoction, acupuncture, or dressing is of no avail. I, I should be damned!" Jin Shangde knelt down, and several imperial doctors also They all knelt down and said, "The minister waits to accept the crime."

"What?!" Zhenzong was shocked, "Is there nothing you can do?"

"Your Majesty" Jin Shangde said, "Your Majesty is currently weak, and you cannot take supplements due to the swelling of the wound. If you use more medicines, you may not be able to support your body. I can only relieve a little pain, but... there is no way to cure it."

"What does that mean?" Shinzo asked

"Chen. Chen means..." Jin Shangde was a little afraid to say

"Could it be." Zhenzong immediately understood, "No! Let me listen to you! If there is something wrong with the emperor, I want your heads! Get out!"
