Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang is 25 years old, the princess is 26 years old, the eldest son is 8 years old, the second son is 6 years old, and the youngest son is 4 year old

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------

Ever since the news of Wang Tingmei's death in Fuling reached the capital, not only Defang was depressed, but even Taizong's eldest son Yuanzuo was always depressed. Thinking that as the eldest son of the emperor, he could not protect Uncle Wang, he felt sorry for Degong and Delong. The younger brother has no father to accompany him, and he is sad every day. Now Uncle Wang is still dying alone in Fangzhou.After Taizong heard about it, he immediately asked the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but he didn't want to be beaten out by Yuan Zuo.Taizong was very concerned and often sent people to visit.

Defang was very anxious when she heard that, one day after the court, she took a sedan chair and rushed directly to Yuanzuo's mansion. When she came to the door, she found a mess. The guards and gatekeepers were not at the door. The big lantern also fell to the ground. Defang got off the sedan chair and entered the gate of the mansion, and turned around to let the accompanying guards and imperial guards guard the door. Jia Jun gave an order, and the imperial guards quickly stood at their posts and were well-trained.Defang walked in and saw the servants and maids running around one by one, and Yuan Zuo could be heard arguing from a distance, Defang stopped the servants and maids who were able to run, "Stop!"

Everyone was stopped by this cry. When they saw that it was the virtuous king Defang, they immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old!"

"What are you doing! This is the mansion of the eldest son of the emperor, the gate is unguarded, and the mansion is so chaotic, how decent! It's ridiculous! How do you protect His Highness? If there is anything wrong with His Highness, I will definitely not spare you!" Defang scolded angrily

Unexpectedly, Taizong had also arrived at this time. He saw Defang's sedan chair in front of the door, and the Imperial Guards from Nanqing Palace were guarding the door, and they were still helping to clean it. It was very strange. He asked all the guards not to report. Walking in by himself, he saw and heard what Defang had just said to his servants. He didn't make a sound, and Defang didn't know Taizong was standing not far behind him. He continued, "Hurry up and return to your duties!"

"Yes, yes, Your Highness." The servant girl and the guards quickly returned to their respective positions, and the only sound left in the mansion was Yuanzuo's shouts. Defang walked quickly to Yuanzuo's room, and Taizong followed. He signaled to the others to keep silent. Defang entered the room and saw three servants supporting Yuan Zuo, Yuan Zuo threw things like crazy, and cursed, "They are not good people! Get out!"

Defang pushed aside the servant and supported Yuanzuo's waving wrists. Yuanzuo looked at Defang, and Defang shouted, "Yuanzuo! Wake up! It's me, it's me!"

Yuan Zuo panted heavily, looked straight at Defang, slowly lowered his hands, hugged Defang, and cried loudly, "Brother Wang! Uncle Wang is dead, he is dead!"

Defang was also very sad in his heart, he patted Yuan Zuo on the back, "Your Highness has a kind heart, but you must not hurt your body, you are the eldest son of the emperor, and you bear the great trust of your majesty."

Yuan Zuo was crying all the time. He hadn't cried like this for a long time. Taizong who was standing at the door also felt sad. Seeing Yuan Zuo was so sad, and thinking that his son was sad for his own brother, he couldn't help but feel sad. Irreversible, this is the struggle for imperial power.

Yuan Zuo cried for a while and calmed down a lot. Defang helped him to sit down, touched his forehead and said, "Lie down for a while, I'll talk to you"

Yuan Zuo said desolately, "Brother Wang...I don't want to be a prince..."

Defang was startled, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you can't..." Before Defang finished speaking, Emperor Taizong walked in at the door and said, "Nonsense!"
