Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Madame Zheng Guo, you...why do you speak so lightly of yourself?"

"Speak lightly?" Mrs. Zheng Guo shook her head, "Your Highness, you don't need to comfort me. Your Highness must have heard about me. Isn't that why the Duke of the county gave up on himself in the first place?"

"This... Mrs. Zheng Guo... You have to take care of your health..." De Fang knew very well what kind of misfortune Mrs. Zheng Guo had suffered, and no amount of consolation would help.

"Take care of your body..." Mrs. Zheng Guo suddenly touched her stomach with her hand, "So what can I do if I take care of myself, I'm afraid it will be an even greater shame."

Defang looked at Mrs. Zheng Guo's stomach, and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Mrs. Zheng Guo, you are..."

"Nie Yuan, everything is fate..." Mrs. Zheng Guo looked up at the sky, "Why does God want me to suffer so much?"

"Could it be... Mrs. Zheng Guo, you... you... have... are you happy?" Defang looked at her in surprise

"There's no joy...everything is sadness..." Mrs. Zheng Guo looked sad

"This... Madam is pregnant with the Duke's child?"

Mrs. Zheng Guo smiled wryly and shook her head, "How can the Duke of the county have such a blessing..."

"What?" Defang was stunned when he heard this sentence, "Isn't this kid from the county magistrate? Then he is..." Defang's mind suddenly buzzed when he said this, and he immediately understood, Zheng Zheng Since the beginning of the year, Mrs. Guo has often been called to stay in the palace for a few days. If the child in Mrs. Zheng Guo's womb is not Li Yu's, then he must be Emperor Taizong's. Defang couldn't help but tremble when she thought of this. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the poor woman in front of him, but Mrs. Zheng Guo suddenly smiled and said, "Your Highness was frightened, I am here to apologize to His Highness."

"No, no, no." Defang came back to her senses and hurriedly said, "Mrs. Zheng Guo...this child...does His Majesty know?"

Madam Zheng Guo nodded, "That's why I was called into the palace today."

"Madame Zheng Guo, forgive me for being rude, how many months have you dared to ask?"

"It's been almost six months." Mrs. Zheng Guo sighed. "I heard that His Majesty's wife is about to give birth. It's really a happy event, but I... only have three words: sadness, shame, pain..."

"Mrs. Zheng Guo..."

"Your Highness" Mrs. Zheng Guo looked at Defang and said, "Your Highness, let's go quickly. If someone sees me talking with His Highness, I may bring disaster to His Highness. Your Highness treats me and the Duke sincerely. I have taken care of you for three years. I am very grateful to the Duke of the county, it is difficult to repay His Highness's kindness in this life, but I will definitely repay it in the next life."
