Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Madam! If something happens to you, this king will never live alone!" Defang let go of her arms, and pulled out the short blade from her waist, "This king and my wife share the same life and death! If my wife breaks her promise, my life will die today!" Church!"

"My lord!" Concubine Di held Defang's hand, "What are you doing!"

"Madam promise me! Never leave!"

"My lord... I promise you, put down the knife quickly."

"Ma'am, you swear..."

Concubine Di was really afraid that Defang would hurt her, so she hurriedly said, "The concubine swears to the Emperor Taizu that she will never leave the prince."

"No, I want my wife to swear on my king's life. If my wife breaks her promise, I will take my own life!"

"My lord...why are you doing this...my concubines are not worthy of my lord's behavior..."

"It's worth it! It's worth it! Madame, swear!"

Concubine Di looked at the sad Defang in front of her. His eyes were full of helplessness and pleading, and the hand holding the knife kept shaking. Concubine Di couldn't bear Defang's behavior, so she nodded, "Concubine... swear..."

The short blade slipped from Defang's hand and fell to the ground, Defang hugged Concubine Di and cried, "Ma'am..."

After a long time, Defang's mood stabilized a little. He held Concubine Di's hand, "Ma'am, I want you to make clothes for Ling'er every year, not less than a year."

Concubine Di nodded, "The concubine will make clothes for every child and the prince, until the concubine is too old to see clearly."

"Well! I can't run around by myself like today, so I can't find it."

"My concubine remembers that I will stay in front of the prince from now on, and I will not leave." Concubine Di took out a towel and wiped Defang's sweat and tears. "My lord, you also promise my concubine not to hurt your body."

"Well." Defang nodded, "I still have to take care of my wife and children, it will be fine."

"My lord, let's go back quickly. The concubine really wants to hug Ling'er, as well as Xu'er, Xian'er and Neng'er."

Defang helped Concubine Di back to the dormitory, and brought her three sons. Weixu and Weixian sat looking at the bell in Concubine Di's arms. Defang hugged Wei Neng and said, "Ma'am, wait for the children." When we grow up, marry wives and have children, we can have grandchildren.”

"My lord," Concubine Di smiled, "It will take a long time, I'm afraid the courtiers and concubines are getting old."

"Don't be afraid, I will grow old with my wife, and I will see her smile every day."

"My lord..."

At this time, Jiajun outside the door came to report, "Your Majesty, there are people from the palace, and your Majesty is asking you to enter the palace."

"Go and tell the visitor that the king is not feeling well and cannot see you today."

After hearing this, Concubine Di hurriedly said, "My lord, you can't do this, you'd better enter the palace quickly."

"Ma'am, His Majesty's summoning must be for Pan Yuqiao's affairs. If I enter the palace, Your Majesty will definitely let me admit her into the palace."

"Your Majesty, you can't offend His Majesty because of this. If you refuse, His Majesty will be furious, and you will be punished if you implicate Your Majesty."

"I have made up my mind. No matter what punishment your Majesty imposes, I will bear it myself." Defang turned her head and said, "Jiajun, just reply to me like this."

"Yes, my lord." Jia Jun turned and left

For this reason, Taizong summoned Defang to enter the palace many times, but Defang prevaricated by saying that he was ill, and he took leave of absence from the palace for several days in a row. He sent an imperial doctor to make a detailed diagnosis and treatment. If he cheated and stayed in the government, he would be resisting the decree and deceiving the emperor, and he should be punished as a serious crime.

Concubine Di was very anxious when she heard this, and repeatedly asked Defang to enter the palace as soon as possible, but Defang comforted her, "Madam, don't worry, let Your Majesty send an imperial doctor."

"My lord! You are completely fine. Refusing to enter the palace is an act of rebellion. If the imperial doctor came, wouldn't you have committed a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"

"Ma'am!" Defang held Concubine Di's hand, and looked at her firmly, "This king will not deceive the emperor, nor will I resist the order. I have an arrangement in my heart. Madam, no matter what happens, Madam must remember." Sworn."

Concubine Di looked into De Fang's eyes for a long time, then she nodded, "The concubine will never leave the prince."
