Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Your Majesty, you are the ministers and his wife..." Defang was very panicked, this kind of thing is simply a shocking move.

"With the identities of the emperor's brother and the emperor's wife, I believe that no one will do harm to this child, and the emperor's son can grow up safely. I believe that the emperor's brother and sister-in-law will help me take care of the emperor's son and keep the blood for me." Zhenzong watched Defang and Di Fei

"Then what about Mrs. Li? There is also an imperial doctor who knows about this?" Concubine Di thought very thoughtfully, so she asked

"The only ones who know about this are me and the empress, the court lady and the imperial doctor. The empress has already agreed to this. The maid will follow Li and serve her all the time. The imperial doctor will also come to the palace together. I will issue an order to the public. Said that I have appointed an imperial doctor to stay in the mansion for the emperor's brother." Zhenzong said everything he thought.

Defang was very embarrassed, "Your Majesty, this matter is very important. If a prince is really born, the world will definitely recognize him as the prince of the minister. How will your majesty call the prince into the palace? Let alone canonize the prince"

"Emperor brother, Taizu and Zeng brothers passed on the throne, and I can follow suit," Zhenzong said.

"Your Majesty, this will be criticized by all the officials, not to mention that this child is the youngest, and he cannot enter the palace under any name."

"Brother, have you forgotten the [Alliance of the Golden Chamber] back then? The royal family must abide by the painstaking efforts of the Taizu and the late emperor for the country. In this name, I will choose the son of the emperor to enter the palace to inherit the great rule. Anyone who speaks falsely is questioning the legitimacy of the late emperor's ascension to the throne, and I will definitely punish him." Zhenzong said

Defang looked at Concubine Di, Concubine Di nodded, and Zhenzong looked at Defang and Concubine Di, "I know, this matter is difficult for the emperor's brother and wife, but for the sake of the emperor, I would like to ask you two to be able..." Zhenzong was very sad

"Your Majesty trusts the minister and his wife so much, the minister obeys His Majesty's will and must take good care of Mrs. Li and the newborn child."

Zhenzong held Defang's hand, "Brother Emperor, you are the person I trust the most"

The next day, Mrs. Li and the court lady were secretly taken to the palace by Jiajun and Baili. The imperial doctor also went to the palace to register and record the same day. Defang's palace has a relatively secluded house, where Mrs. Li and the maid lived Inside, they don't usually walk around with other people in the mansion. When necessary, Defang will send Jiajun, Baili or his bodyguard Chongming Shangen to go there. Concubine Di will go there in person if it is inconvenient.

Defang said that Concubine Di was happy again, and Zhenzong was very happy. Concubine Di was over [-] at this time, so Zhenzong visited the palace in person and gave many things.

In order to hide the truth from the people in the palace, Defang has been carefully handling the affairs of the palace. Concubine Di put a cloth bag on her abdomen, and gradually increased her size according to her previous pregnancy experience, even walking slowly. One night a month later, Concubine Di returned to her dormitory, and Defang closed the door, "Ma'am, it's really hard for you, take a rest."

Concubine Di was indeed a bit tired, she had to put a cushion on her abdomen, and she had to walk like a pregnant woman. She was a bit older, and it was really too much for her to sleep like this for seven months.

Concubine Di sat on the bed, leaning on the cushion behind her back, panting a little, "My lord, don't worry, it's fine."

Defang held Concubine Di's hand, "Ma'am, you have always been worried about the lonely king, and now you have to bear this kind of hard work. Hey, the lonely king doesn't know how to repay his wife."

"It can be repaid." The princess smiled

"Ma'am please tell me"

The princess raised her head and said word by word, "My lord will take care of my concubines for the rest of my life, and the next life, forever."

Defang looked at Concubine Di, her eyes turned red, "Madam, the lonely king will protect Madam forever and ever"

Defang and the princess held hands tightly, and they both looked at each other with love in their eyes.
