Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Ma'am, it's nothing, don't listen to rumors." De Fang persuaded, "Brother is fine."

"Really?" Di Fei asked

"Yeah." Defang avoided Concubine Di's eyes, "It's okay."

"The prince is lying to my concubine, please tell my concubine, what happened to my brother?"

"Don't ask, ma'am, I'm also confused now." Defang asked Concubine Di to sit down first. "I'll go and ask again. It's very tricky now. My brother... he's missing."

"Missing?" Concubine Di stood up all of a sudden, "How could this happen?"

"Madam, don't worry, brother will be fine, and His Majesty is also sending people to look for it now."

"Life or death?" Concubine Di looked at Defang, and Concubine Defang nodded, Concubine Di pulled Defang, "Brother will never collude with the enemy and betray the country, and will never steal military amulets, he will never do that."

"I know, I absolutely believe in my brother's character, but now that my brother is missing, and there are captured Liao soldiers and letters to prove it, if my brother doesn't show up, then everything will be unclear."

"How about that?"

Defang shook his head, "I don't know, things are moving too fast now, the lonely king doesn't understand what's going on at all, the Ministry of War has sent people to Xingren Mansion to look for it, and there are ministers in the court who are constantly participating in this matter, His Majesty is also very concerned now." Difficult."

"My lord, can we do something?"

"Madam, let me handle this matter, please don't worry too much."

"How can you not worry, my lord, there is only such an elder brother in my concubine's family now, please help my brother no matter what."

"Madam, I will definitely help my brother. As long as I can find him, I believe things will become clear soon." Defang comforted. The order was issued, and almost none came back alive.

A few days later, Defang was talking to Kou Zhun about Di Shoujie in the mansion, when Jia Jun came running suddenly, "My lord, something has happened, Mr. Wang from the Ministry of War sent officers and soldiers to search Lord Di's mansion."

"What!" Defang was startled, "Master Kou, what's going on?"

"The lower official has not received this order, the lord is safe and don't be impatient, the lower official will go and have a look." Kou Zhun immediately left the mansion

"How could this be?" Defang couldn't figure it out, "What's going on here?"

"My lord," Nan Gongwen walked in, "It has been rumored that Master Di is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and the evidence is all there, but it is impossible to find out why Master Di went to Xingren Mansion."

"The Ministry of War has not reported it. I am afraid that only His Majesty will know about it," Defang said.

"Didn't the prince go to see His Majesty?" Nan Gongwen asked

"During this time, Your Majesty has not seen the lonely king at all." Defang shook her head

"That's strange. His Majesty usually talks to the prince. Why did His Majesty avoid the prince when something happened to Lord Di?"

"I don't know, the lonely king is puzzled."

"My lord, I heard that Lord Di came to the palace before leaving Beijing, what did you say?"

"It's nothing. I just miss my sister. I went to the house to see my mother." Defang said, suddenly remembering Di Shoujie's unusual behavior that day, "Wait a minute. The elder brother was indeed different that day. He repeatedly told his mother to take care of himself, and said There are many guards in the palace, there are countless loyal generals, and the prince plays an important role in the court, so nothing will happen, the lonely king didn't understand what it meant at that time."

Nan Gongwen thought for a while, "My lord, maybe Mr. Di knew this would happen a long time ago."

"Know it long ago? Know what?"
