Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Concubine Di was shocked when she heard Taizong say that she was barren, "Your Majesty... you... what did you say? Why are you barren?"

"Ma'am, no." De Fang hurriedly explained, "You are just in poor health, not infertile."

"Prince" Concubine Di looked at Defang, "Did you know about this before?"

"No...not...I..."

"Nephew" Taizong said, "Defang doesn't want to see you sad, but I have to think about Defang and my Zhao family. Now that I have brought Yuqiao here, I might as well talk to you about this matter today." It means that if it drags on, there may be no time to talk about it."

"Your Majesty... what does this mean?" Concubine Di also felt that the situation was serious and related to herself after listening to Taizong's words, but she didn't know about it. This made Concubine Di, who had always been calm, panicked.

"Nephew, Defang went to the palace half a month ago and asked me to send an imperial doctor to Nanqing Palace to treat you. The imperial doctor reported back to me after returning to the palace, saying that your body is weak and cold, the poison is difficult to clear, and the fetal chamber has been damaged. , it will be difficult to have another child in the future, so I told Defang that I would take another concubine for him, and let him come back to discuss this matter with you."

Concubine Di slowly turned her head and asked, "My lord... When did you invite the imperial doctor?"

"I... invited you here while you were sleeping, madam... I didn't expect it to be like this..."

"My lord, didn't the concubine say not to ask the imperial doctor..." Concubine Di choked up

"Madam, I wanted Madam to get better soon, but I didn't expect...Madam..."

"Nephew" Taizong said, "I know it's very sudden for you to say these things now, but this matter should not be delayed for a long time, why don't I give you a few more days, you and the emperor's nephew can think about it, I just want Defang to be more Children, and it's good for more than one person to take care of my nephew."

Taizong saw that Defang and Concubine Di were sad and silent at this time, and he couldn't bear to let them say something now, so he said, "I will bring Yuqiao back first, you can discuss it carefully, and if you have a decision, send someone to tell I."

Defang didn't want to think about it at all, so he said, "Your Majesty, the minister and his wife don't need to be taken care of by the concubine. I only want to stay with the princess. I will find a folk expert, and I will definitely cure the princess' illness."

"Defang, the imperial doctor is one of the best in ten thousand, and the medical officers in your palace are also very skilled in medicine. If they can't do anything, do you think they will really find strange folks?"

"Persevere!" Defang had already decided not to accept the concubine at this time, what's more, Taizong suddenly told Concubine Di about infertility, and he didn't know how to appease Concubine Di later, his mind was already in chaos.

"Nephew, don't rush to answer." Taizong stood up and said, "This matter is not something that the nephew can decide alone. Although I don't want to force you and the concubine to make the decision to accept the concubine, but the nephew, you have always regarded filial piety as the first good, you should Knowing that inheriting an heir is the responsibility of a person's children, isn't it the same when the late emperor chose Fu family for you?"

"But Your Majesty..."

"Okay, concubine nephew, your health has just improved, and I don't want to see you so sad, but after all, this is related to the important affairs of the royal heirs, so I have to mention it."

"Chenqie...Understood..."

"Nephew, you have given birth to two sons and one daughter for Defang, and you have made great contributions to our Zhao family. No one can replace the status of princess and concubine, so don't worry about anything else."

"Yes, Your Majesty, my concubine...all understand..."

"Well, then I'll go back to the palace first, you don't have to see each other off, just have a good rest." Seeing that both Defang and Concubine Di looked lonely, Emperor Taizong couldn't help sighing softly, then walked out of the pavilion and ordered someone to call Pan Yuqiao to Go outside the house.
