Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Your Majesty is so ill that your Majesty can't sleep or eat. These few days, the court has sent ministers to take over the court. Your Majesty even issued an edict to find a famous doctor for you."

"I know Aijia's body best. My lord, don't let the emperor do this. If it hurts the dragon's body, wouldn't it be a sin for Aijia."

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty regards you as your own mother, benevolent and filial. As long as your body feels a little uncomfortable, Your Majesty will show sadness even when you go to court. Today, you are sick on the bed, and Your Majesty is very disturbed."

"My lord, you are the emperor's elder brother, please persuade him more, for the sake of the people of the Song Dynasty, you must also take care of the dragon's body."

"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I heard from your majesty that you've been having a hard time this night, so you should take some rest."

Mrs. Li looked at De Fang sadly, "My lord, I'm sorry for my family."

"Queen, what are your orders?"

"Aijia just heard it all."

"Queen. Are you talking about Jin Guoshou's words?"

The queen mother nodded, and De Fang said, "The queen mother. He is the national champion. It's not like that."

"My lord, there is no need to comfort the Ai family." The queen mother sighed. "The prince of the Ai family died early. I thought I was not blessed. I never thought that I could have such filial care from the emperor. The Ai family is content."

"My queen. You will be all right."

"My lord. Over the years, I have been mourning my family. There is one more thing that I can't let go of."

"What did the Queen Mother say? Can I do anything?"

"My lord. Aijia almost did something wrong back then. Every time I see the emperor, Aijia feels guilty all the time."

"Queen Mother. What happened back then is over. Your Majesty is extremely filial and never blamed you."

"A mistake is a mistake. What the Ai family did back then also violated the imperial edict of the Taizu Emperor. The harem is not allowed to do politics, and the Ai family almost fell into danger in the Song Dynasty." Empress Dowager Li said with tears in her eyes, "When we arrived at the Nine Springs Next, the Ai family don't know how to go to see Emperor Taizu and the late emperor."

"The Queen Mother."

"Back then. If it wasn't for the prince and Lu Xiang, I don't know what the Song Dynasty would be like today."

"None of those things happened. It's been years, so why bring it up again."

"Although the matter has passed, it has been recorded in the history books, leaving it to future generations to comment. I mourn my family. I am a sinner."

"Queen! Please don't say that."

"My lord." The queen mother looked at Defang, and slowly stretched out her hand, "Aijia. Although he is the same age as the lord, the lord has always been filial and respectful to the lord. Now before the sick bed, the lord can comfort her. I really feel at ease. But I don't know Can I call you nephew one last time?"

Defang knelt down on both knees and lightly shook Queen Mother Li's hand, "Queen Mother, my nephew will always be your imperial nephew. Please get well."

"Imperial nephew. It turns out that if a person does something wrong, it will be unforgettable for a lifetime. Aijia will never be able to get forgiveness from others. But I don't know if I can ask the emperor's nephew to forgive me today."

"Queen Mother." De Fang looked at her with tears in her eyes. Queen Mother Li has always been kind and generous. What happened back then was also conspired by Wang Jien and other idiots. For Zhenzong, Defang's eyes and words before Taizong's death suddenly appeared in Defang's heart, and he couldn't help feeling sad, Defang looked at Queen Mother Li and said softly, "What happened back then was not the Queen Mother's fault, my nephew never blamed you. "

Empress Dowager Li smiled slightly, "Thank you. Thank you, nephew, for making Ai's family feel better before leaving."
