Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Jiajun brought Princess Chai and Chai Zongrang into Defang's bedroom. Defang was not surprised to see that it was Chai Zongrang, but Concubine Di was very angry. Baili beside him didn't know what was going on because he had never seen Chai Zongrang.

"Baili," Defang said, "Close the door, and you stay outside."

"Yes" Baili was puzzled, but he still withdrew and guarded the door.

"It's you, why do you dare to come here!" Concubine Di questioned

"Ma'am, don't worry." Defang sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Chai Zongrang, clutching his wound, and said, "The lonely king knew you would come again, but he didn't expect you to come in so openly."

Chai Zongrang pulled out a dagger from his waist. Seeing this, Jia Jun drew out his saber and pointed it at Chai Zongrang. Defang said, "Jia Jun, put the knife away."

"My lord!" Jia Jun was puzzled

"If he still wants to kill the lonely king, he won't let Master Cheshire bring him in. He must have something to say when he comes."

Jia Jun slowly put away the knife, and Defang asked, "Chai Zongrang, did you want to say something to the lonely king or ask something? Or, do you want to know whether the lonely king is dead or not?"

Unexpectedly, Chai Zongrang knelt down slowly, "My lord, I admit, this is far from what I thought before. The princess said that day, why is the lord so innocent? None of this is the lord's fault. I think the lord has been with the lord since he was a child." Living in the imperial palace, she is loved and cared for. That day the princess wanted to block the sword for the prince, but the prince couldn't bear the princess's injury and got himself stabbed. It can be seen that the prince and the princess' brother and sister have a deep relationship. This is by no means a fake. Come on, I have inquired about a lot of things in the capital. The prince is a benevolent man, and the people are all called virtuous kings, but I almost did something wrong. My lord, I have thought a lot these days, the princess will not lie to me, then The descendants of my Chai family are still alive and living a stable life, and my so-called hatred has become nothing." Chai Zongrang looked very lonely when he said this, "The princess said that day, if something happens to the prince, even if I am Her relatives, she will not forgive me, so today I kneel in front of the prince to plead guilty." Chai Zongrang raised the dagger, "As long as the prince has a word, I, Chai Zongrang, will die without regret, and will never be greedy for life!"

"Brother Wang!" Princess Chai also knelt down and said, "Yun Qing is also a descendant of the Chai family, and Yun Qing is willing to bear all these mistakes."

"Princess!" Chai Zongrang said, "This is my fault. How can I implicate the princess? The princess already has a noble status, and the descendants of the Chai family can live in peace. I know this enough now."

Princess Chai shook her head, "After you and I are both members of the Chai family, how could Yun Qing have the heart to see her relatives die?"

"Yunqing, Chai Zongrang." Defang looked at the two of them and said, "You all get up."

The two looked at Defang and did not get up. Defang said, "Chai Zongrang, since you know everything, you won't do anything wrong. Why did the lonely king kill you? You know, Emperor Taizu once swore to To protect the descendants of the Chai family, there will be no additional punishment for crimes, and the lonely king will not disobey the emperor Taizu, so get up."

The two stood up, and Chai Zongrang said, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness...forgive me for my words, but there is one thing I would like to ask my lord."

"Ask," Defang said.

"I want to know where the two younger brothers are now?" Chai Zongrang asked, "I have inquired, but as the Princess said, I only know that they are not dead. Since this is the case, the prince must know where they are now."

"Gu Wang can't answer this question for you," Defang said, "but Gu Wang assures you that Chai Xijin and Chai Xijiao are still alive, right here in the capital, they have status and positions, and they have never suffered or been bullied. It's you, it's best not to know each other, do you understand what the lonely king means?"
