Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Bold!" Defang shouted, "How dare you talk nonsense in front of the lonely king! You throw the lonely king again and see if you can fall like this!"

"I'm guilty of a humble job! I'm guilty of a humble job!" Ren Qing hurriedly kowtowed

"Don't tell the truth! If you dare to lie again, the lonely king will use your head to try the golden mace!"

Ren Qing had never seen the prince lose his temper before, but he only knew that killing someone with the golden mace was a serious matter, so he trembled in fright when he heard this, "My lord, please spare my life! I dare not lie to my lord! You can say anything!"

Concubine Di patted Defang's hand, "My lord, Ren Qing is just a bodyguard, don't make things difficult for him, just speak well."

"En." Defang nodded, "Ren Qing, get up and talk."

"Humble job. Stand.. Can't stand up. Still. Let's answer on your knees."

"Okay, go back on your knees, you'd better tell me in detail, if there is even a little bit of concealment, be careful of your head!"

"Yes. Yes. The humble job said it all." Ren Qing wiped off his sweat, calmed his frightened heart, and then cupped his hands and replied, "The injury of the humble job. Yes. It was beaten by the county horse."

"Why did he hit you?"

"Because... the humble job is... the princess's guard."

"What? What are these words? Why didn't the lonely king understand."

"My lord, please help the princess. The princess is having a bad time." Ren Qing started to cry, and Defang was shocked when she heard this, "What's wrong with her! Tell me!"

"My lord, the princess quarreled with the county horse more than a month ago. The county horse was drunk at the time and pushed the princess to the ground. The princess' arm was injured, and it's not recovering now."

"What! You bastard!" Defang slapped the table and stood up, "How did you protect the princess!"

"My lord, the little ones are protected. That's why they were beaten. Jun Ma was very dissatisfied with being reprimanded by the emperor and his elder brother several times. He didn't dare to beat the princess anymore, so he took out his anger on the people around the princess. In the past month, as long as I get drunk, I beat the little ones, my lord! I beg my lord to help the princess, save the little ones."

"Cao Jue! This bastard! Come here!" Defang was very angry, and Jia Jun ran over, "The last general is here!"

"Catch this bastard Cao Jue immediately! Now!"

"Yes! My lord!" Just as Jia Jun was about to turn around, Concubine Di stopped him, "Wait a minute! My lord, it's better to go and see how Jun Zhu is now injured before it's too late to arrest him."

"It's too late now! Junzhu is the daughter of the lonely king, Cao Jue dared to hurt her, he just didn't take the lonely king seriously!"

"My lord, no matter what, Cao Jue is also an official of the imperial court. If you use someone like this, you may attract criticism."

"The lonely king dares to criticize his son-in-law! The lonely king has tolerated him for a long time! It has only been more than four months since Old General Cao passed away, and he dares to do so recklessly!" De Fang pointed at Ren Qing, "He dared to beat the king Zhu, Gu Wang and Junzhu are nothing in his eyes!"

"My lord, don't be angry with your body. Let's go and see Junzhu first. Cao Jue can't escape the capital. If what the guards say is true, then we can punish him in any way."

"Okay! Jiajun, prepare the sedan chair, Xiaopeng, go invite Jin Guoshou to the Xingping County Lord's Mansion."

Defang and Concubine Di came to Xingping County Lord's Mansion in a sedan chair, and two guards stepped forward to salute in front of the door, "Kowtow to the prince and empress for a thousand years, our county horse is not in the mansion."

Defang ignored it and walked in directly. The two quickly got up and ran to the front to block the drive, "My lord, the county horse is really not in the mansion."

"Is the princess in the mansion?"

"Princess." The two looked at each other, "Not here either."

Ren Qing stepped forward and said, "My lord, the princess is in the mansion right now."
