Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Hearing this, Defang knelt down again, "The matter arranged by the emperor is indeed not what the son wants, but if the son resists the order and deceives the emperor, he is disloyal, and if he disobeys the father's order, he is unfilial. The son cannot be disloyal and unfilial. But my son-in-law is going to get married next month, and I really don't want Miss Di to know about it."

"Don't worry, only the father, the queen, the queen and a few people in the side courtyard know about this matter."

"Then what will happen to the female test room officer?"

"According to the internal system, she will be assigned to work in the servant's house, and she will not leave the palace for the rest of her life, so no one will know about her and you."

Defang looked up at Emperor Taizu and said, "Father, that female official was originally innocent, but she was asked to sacrifice her virginity for the sake of my son's room test. My son couldn't bear it, and I was full of guilt for this female official. My son begged Royal Father kindly let her go out of the palace to live and no longer be a slave, if possible, please send someone to take good care of her, and let her be your minister's compensation to her."

Hearing this, Taizu sighed and helped Defang up, "My son is kind and kind. Well, my father promises to let her out of the palace, and will send someone to take good care of her, so that she will no longer be a slave and a servant girl, and she will live a lifetime of food and clothing." No worries."

Defang cupped his hands, "Thank you, father."

Defang returned to his side palace from the inner palace, and Baili hurried over, "Your Highness! You are back, why have you been there for three days?"

"It's nothing, Father and Queen leave me to talk."

"Say three days?"

Defang shook her head, "I'm tired and want to sleep."

"Your Highness, your complexion is not good, are you feeling unwell?"

"No, don't ask, I want to take a break." After finishing speaking, he returned to the dormitory.

Since she came back, Defang didn't go out of her room every day, and she didn't eat much food, and the strangest thing is that Defang didn't mention Miss Di's matter again for several days, and she didn't go to Di's mansion, nor invited her. When Miss Di entered the palace, Baili didn't know what happened to Defang, and Di's mansion also felt a little strange, why Defang suddenly didn't pay attention and didn't come, and Di Jixun didn't want to inquire about it. But Di Mingzhi was the most straightforward. He brought the embroidered sachet into the palace by himself. When he saw Di Mingzhi, he didn't dare to neglect him, so he quickly invited her to sit in the teahouse. gone."

"Eunuch Baili, is Your Highness up to date?"

"It's okay, our Highness is fine these few days, that's it."

"What is it?"

"Actually, I don't know. Our little Highness has been alone in the dormitory for the past few days. He also eats little food and doesn't talk much."

"His Royal Highness is sick?"

"The imperial doctor has seen it, and said that maybe he didn't sleep well at night, so he has a poor appetite, and he will be fine if he rests more."

Di Mingzhi thought for a while and said, "Eunuch Baili, can I go to the dormitory to see His Highness?"

"Dormitory." Baili thought for a while, since Miss Di is about to become a concubine, it's okay to go to the bedroom, so she said, "Okay, Miss Di, please come with me."

Baili brought Di Mingzhi to the door of Defang's bedroom. The door was open. Di Mingzhi looked inside, but did not see Defang. "Eunuch Baili, Your Highness is not in the room?"

"In" Baili said, and then pointed to the inside, "His Highness often sits on the bed and does not speak these days."

Di Mingzhi walked into the room and saw shoes in front of the bed, but he didn't see anyone lying there, so he went closer and saw that Defang was really sitting on the bed, but he was sitting in a corner inside, holding his arms Knees, eyes looking at his arms, expressionless, this is the first time Di Mingzhi saw Defang with such an expression, if he hadn't been informed of the imperial physician's diagnosis, otherwise he really thought that Defang was seriously ill, Mingzhi called out, "Your Highness."
