Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Yes, Your Majesty" Defang and Yuan Xi bowed

"Brother Emperor" Zhenzong looked at Defang, only to find that he had a wound on his forehead, "Brother Emperor looks not very well, is the injury still unhealed?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I do feel a little unwell, and I occasionally feel pain in my body."

Shinzong nodded, "I must have been seriously injured falling from such a high mountain. Brother Huang, go back to the mansion to recuperate and wait for Brother Huang to recover before going to court. I will visit Nanqing Palace later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Defang bowed

Later, Zhenzong asked the Imperial Medical Office of Taichang Temple to send many precious medicinal materials to Defang, and also sent several imperial doctors to accompany Defang back to the mansion. Mrs. Zhang and her two children temporarily lived in Kaifeng Mansion, and then returned to Nanqing Palace with Jiajun. As soon as they entered the empty field, they were stopped by guards. Defang was also taken aback because he was still wearing casual clothes. Although he looked like a gentleman, After all, it is not a royal costume, so the guards didn't see it for a while, Jiajun shouted, "Bold! The prince doesn't even know him!"

The guards saw that it was Song Jiajun, and then looked at Defang, their eyes widened, "My lord...you, you are back"

Jia Jun went up and patted the back of the guard's head, "Why are you so stupefied, you still haven't greeted the prince!"

"My little one, please greet the lord! The lord is a thousand years old!" The four guards quickly knelt down

Defang smiled and said "get up" and walked into the palace. Everyone was very surprised when they saw Defang's return. Originally, all the people in the mansion were sad because of Defang's disappearance, thinking that he really couldn't come back. When Defang returned to the mansion intact, they were all very happy and told each other.

Defang came to the main hall, and saw the eldest son Weixu sitting on the side frowning, and Weixian was fidgeting back and forth, leaning on the pillar, holding a sword in one hand, and covering his face with the other, Defang Fang called "Xu'er"

The three children looked forward and were stunned, but Xu quickly got up and ran to Defang, "Father! You...you are back! You are back!"

Weixian and Weineng were also very happy. Defang patted the three children, "Well, the father is back! Look at you, you look haggard. How long have you not slept?"

"Boy...it would be nice to see my father come back." Wei Xu was a little excited

Defang touched Wei Xu's face, "Xu'er, you are the eldest son, it must have been hard work these days."

Weixu shook his head, his eyes flushed, Defang suddenly saw that Wei Neng's face was turning blue, and asked, "Neng'er, what's wrong with your face?"

Wei Neng touched his face, looked at Wei Xian subconsciously and said, "My child is fine, it's really great that you are back, father."

Defang looked at the sword in Wei Neng's hand, and recognized it as Wei Xian at a glance. Wei Xian next to him lowered his head and did not speak. Defang sighed and asked, "Xu'er, where is your mother?"

Wei Xu rubbed his eyes, "Mother... is not feeling well, rest in the room"

Defang was startled, turned around and ran to the dormitory. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Concubine Di half lying on the bed, her face was very bad, the nurse next to her was hugging Yiyi, and the third and fourth wives were sitting there in a daze. The madam and the nanny saw Defang opened her mouth in surprise, Defang stretched out her palm to signal them to be silent, then walked over and sat by the bed, calling softly "madam"

Concubine Di slowly opened her eyes and saw that it was Defang in front of her. She couldn't believe it. She raised her hand to touch it. Defang took Di Concubine's hand, put it on her face and said, "Ma'am, I came back"
