Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"As long as the lord and empress like it, father will be satisfied." Jin Nian'en knelt down and kowtowed again, "Nianen thank you, lord and empress."

"You child." De Fang helped him up, "Why do you always kneel, sit still, otherwise the prince and empress will be angry."

Nianen stood up, still smiling shyly, and had lunch in the palace, but the three of them took him and his entourage to wander around the inner city of Bianjing for a long time, and practiced for him together until late at night, Defang wrote Good reply, prepared a lot of items for Jinhu's family and Xingyuan's generals, when Nian'en left, Defang ordered someone to open the city gate to send them out of the city, Nian'en and his party did not dare to delay, and returned to Xingyuan overnight.

At Maoshi the next day, Baili ran to the door of the dormitory in the inner courtyard and knocked on the door, "My lord, my lord"

Defang in the room frowned and opened her eyes, Baili yelled twice, Defang pushed aside the bed curtain and asked, "Come in."

Baili opened the door and walked in, came to the bedside and bowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has called you into the palace urgently."

"No." Defang put down the bed curtain with sleepy eyes, turned over and went back to sleep, Baili hmm didn't know what to say, Concubine Di asked, "Baili, what is your majesty's urgent need to call the prince into the palace?"

Upon hearing Concubine Di's question, Baili quickly said, "Go back to your mother, someone from the palace said that His Majesty will not be able to go to court for a few days, and let the prince take the court."

"Is there something wrong in the palace?"

"I don't know yet, but someone said that His Majesty went to Wan'an Palace, and also said that Zhi Zhigao is drafting something."

After listening to this, Concubine Di pushed Defang, "My lord, my lord, wake up quickly."

"Huh?" Defang went to bed very late because she sent Jin Nianen off, and she was still a little dazed at the moment, "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

"There is something going on in the palace, my lord, go and have a look."

"In the palace? What's the matter?"

"His Majesty won't go to court early these days, so you are asked to go to the court, and you have also gone to Wan'an Palace."

"Wan'an Palace." Defang closed her eyes and hummed, then immediately opened them again, quickly sat up and opened the bed curtain and asked, "What's wrong with the Empress Dowager?"

Baili replied, "I don't know yet. The people in the palace said that His Majesty has rushed over, saying that he won't go to the early court for a few days, and let you take the place of the court, and I heard that Zhi Zhigao is still drafting some edicts."

"What? An imperial edict?" Defang was very worried about what was going on in the palace when she heard this, so she immediately got out of bed, "Hurry up, prepare the sedan chair! No, let Jia Jun prepare the horse!"

Defang put on her horse with a golden mace and galloped to the gate of the palace. Defang dismounted and walked to the court hall. Just as Huangfu Jiming and Hua Tiangang were talking, Defang stepped forward and asked, "What happened in the palace?" ?”

"See you, my lord." The two saluted, and Hua Tiangang replied, "Your lord, there is nothing wrong in the palace."

"Nothing? How did the lonely king hear that Zhigao was drafting an edict?"

"My lord, it's like this," Hua Tiangang said, "The empress dowager has been unwell for more than a month, and the imperial doctor's diagnosis and treatment has not been effective for a long time. Last night, her condition worsened. Your Majesty stayed on guard all night. You must know that an imperial edict has been ordered to seek medical treatment. "

"So serious? Your Majesty has been guarding the place all night. Will it still be in Wan'an Palace?"

"Yes, my lord."

"The lonely king, go and have a look." Defang was about to go to the inner palace, Huangfu Jiming cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has an order, and you are going to go to court, so you should go to the Chongde Palace first. "

"Does Your Majesty have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty asked the prince to approve the memorial."

Defang sighed, turned around and said, "Jiajun, go back to the mansion immediately to invite the national soldier, Baili, to go to court with the lonely king."
