Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Defang bowed and kowtowed, exited the Chongzheng Hall, and rubbed the tears in his eyes in front of the door. At this time, Wang Jien walked up and asked, "My lord, what's wrong with you?"

"I... the king is fine..." Defang was very reluctant to see Wang Jien, "the king has to rush back to the mansion."

"My lord," said Wang Ji'en, "I heard that the princess is ill. I wonder if she is feeling better now?"

"Eunuch Lao is concerned, the princess is fine..."

"Then why is the prince crying?"

"This king didn't cry!" De Fang looked at Wang Jien, "This king is just blinded by the sand."

Wang Ji'en smiled, "Who doesn't know that the prince is a wife-loving man, I'm afraid it's the princess' illness..."

"Elder-in-law! This king is still rushing back to the mansion, let me say goodbye!" Defang cupped her hands and walked straight out of the palace.

Wang Jien looked at Defang's back with a sinister smile, and said to himself, "A person who has lost the throne, even if he is a prince now, in my Wang Jien's eyes, he is no different from a useless person. Wasn't the life of your mother and child in my hands back then? Zhao Defang, as long as I take good care of Empress Song, see what else you can do, hehehe"

Defang took the imperial doctor back to the Nanqing Palace, came to the bedroom, and whispered on the pillow a few times, seeing that Concubine Di was fast asleep, she asked the imperial doctor in the palace to take the pulse of Concubine Di quietly. Slowly frowning, Defang was very anxious seeing this, but did not dare to ask, the imperial doctor slowly got up and stretched out his hand to ask Defang to talk outside, the two of them went out of the room and Defang asked, "The imperial doctor, how is the condition of the princess? Why did you frown?"

"My lord," the imperial doctor looked around, "Please turn off the left and right screens."

Defang was stunned for a moment, and immediately felt ominous in her heart, "Doctor, what happened to the princess? Tell me quickly."

"My lord..." The imperial doctor looked at Baili, Ke'er and Jiajun.

"They are all my confidantes, imperial doctor, please tell me quickly, how is my wife's condition?"

The imperial doctor frowned and pursed his lips for a while, then invited Defang out of the courtyard of the dormitory, and several people came to the garden and said, "My lord, I have seen the medical records of the princess before I came to the palace. The princess broke out three years ago. Suffered from an emergency and almost died, but got better after the treatment, but his constitution became weak and cold, fortunately Wangfu decoction and diet were taken care of in time, so the condition did not worsen, but..." The imperial doctor paused.

"But what?" Defang was very anxious

"Although the princess's health is improving, but...but it is not suitable to conceive again..."

"It's not suitable to conceive again?" Defang was confused. "What do you mean? Didn't the concubine just give birth to the princess? How could it be inappropriate to conceive again?"

"My lord, this is what made the concubine's condition worse, and..."

"Imperial doctor! This king wants you to speak clearly, don't keep saying nothing! How is the princess! Tell me straight!"

"My lord calm down, I really don't want to tell the truth."

"No matter what kind of emergency my concubine suffers from, this king will guard her. Imperial doctor, please tell this king quickly, what's wrong with my princess? I beg you." Defang looked at the imperial doctor pleadingly. Looking at Defang, she sighed deeply, "Your Majesty, I'll forgive you for speaking bluntly."

"Please tell the imperial doctor."

"Three years ago, the princess was seriously ill and had an emergency. Her body was severely damaged, and her constitution was weak and cold. It was not suitable to conceive again. Losing the child, the princess could have been in better health, but the princess decided to conceive and have a child, so the lives of both mother and child may be lost."
