Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

When Dezhao returned to the room, he saw Defang sitting beside Weixu's bed with a sad face, and stepped forward to persuade him, "Defang, everyone in Nanqing Palace is counting on you to take charge of the overall situation. You can't do anything." Dezhao Holding Defang's shoulders

"...Yes, Brother Wang" Defang replied softly, without taking his eyes off Weixu. Seeing this, Dezhao sighed, then went to understand the situation with the imperial doctor, and went to deal with some things, and accompanied him I kept busy until the evening.

In the early morning of the second day, a group of imperial guards stood outside the Nanqing Palace, "The emperor is coming." Hearing a loud noise from the servants, everyone knelt down. The emperor came suddenly, and Nanqing Palace was completely unprepared. "Kowtow to Your Majesty, long live long live long live long live"

"Pingshen" Taizong said

"Your Majesty, go and inform His Highness to pick you up." Jia Jun got up and was about to pass the message.

"No need, don't disturb, let me come to see Defang, don't scare him." Taizong stepped off the imperial sedan chair and went straight into Nanqing Palace.

Taizong waved to the guards, motioning them to stop and wait. He quietly came to the door of the inner room and saw Defang feeding Concubine Di medicine. Kneeling and prostrating, "My nephew kowtows to Your Majesty, my nephew... I don't know if Your Majesty is coming, my nephew..." Defang was a little flustered

"Emperor's nephew, don't be scared." Taizong stepped forward to help Defang up, "Did I scare you?"

"No...no..." Defang sweated on his forehead

"Concubine...to pay homage to Your Majesty" Concubine Di also quickly stood up

"My concubine, lie down quickly. I'm sick. Don't do this big gift. I'm scaring you." Taizong said, "Defang, go outside with me, so that my concubine can rest well."

"It's Your Majesty" Defang replied, turned around and helped Concubine Di lie down, "Madam, rest well."

Defang walked out of the house with Taizong, Taizong said to Defang, "I learned that my nephew and Weixu were both sick, and I was very worried. Dezhao asked me for root ginseng, and I learned what happened to the emperor's nephew here. Damn the bastard! He didn’t even notify me!”

"Uncle Huang calmed down, maybe the people in the mansion were too anxious, didn't think about it, and didn't want to disturb His Majesty"

"It is dereliction of duty for my dear nephew's family to fail to report such a matter, and I will deal with it severely!" Taizong said angrily, "Come here! Bring the manager!"

"Observe the order!" The forbidden army immediately escorted Li Guilu, the head of the Nanqing Palace, who was appointed by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"Bold, why didn't you report such a major event to me!" Taizong asked

"Damn the villain! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!" Li Guilu begged for mercy.

"Damn you!" Taizong said coldly, "Drag him out and chop him up!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, spare me! Your Highness, save me..." Li Guilu was dragged out

Seeing Li Guilu being dragged away, Defang was terrified. Although he was not his own, it was really uncomfortable to watch him being dragged out and beheaded. Taizong supported Defang's shoulder and said, "If someone comes again If you ignore the imperial nephew like this, I will deal with him!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Defang replied helplessly

Taizong said to the people below, "Listen well, from now on, if anyone dares to ignore the emperor's nephew and cause the emperor's nephew and his family to suffer any harm, I will definitely punish him severely!"
