"It's much better." Concubine Di closed her eyes slightly and said weakly, "My lord, what time is it now?"

"It's almost Chen's time, ma'am, just lie down a little longer."

"I won't lie down anymore, the concubine wants to get up and walk."

"Ma'am is especially weak, you should rest more."

"I've been lying in bed for almost a month, and I feel dizzy every day in the inner room. My lord, my concubine wants to sit in Mingfang Pavilion."

"Okay, I'll let them prepare." Defang pushed aside the bed curtain, "Baili!"

Baili hurriedly opened the door and came to the inner room, "My lord, the little one is here."

"Let people go to Mingfang Pavilion to prepare some refreshments, hang up the curtain, and the lonely king and empress will leave in half an hour."

"Yes."

"Baili, let Ke'er instruct the dining room to prepare lighter breakfast, and then invite the national players."

"Yes, my lord, the national player is already waiting outside the door."

Several ministers persuaded him, but he was pushed to the ground. His Majesty sent someone Advised him to go back to the mansion, but General Huyan ran to the gate of the Chongzheng Palace again, sat on the stone steps and refused to leave, no one dared to approach him now, His Majesty could not even get out of the gate of the palace, so he ordered someone to call the prince urgently Relief."

Hearing this, Baili hurried into the inner room, saw Defang was asking Jin Shangde, so he had to stand aside first, Defang said, "National player, how is it?"

"Your Majesty's health has improved, but she still needs to recuperate for a few days, and she should use as much food as possible."

"National player, madam still doesn't have much food, so it's not good to always drink medicine like this?"

"The lower officials will reduce the soup and medicine, and order people to cook some soup that nourishes blood and nourishes Qi, so as to nourish the body of the empress." Jin Shangde closed the medicine box and asked Defang to go to the outer room, Defang asked quickly, "National player, what's wrong? Ma'am she."

Jin Shangde shook his head, and said softly, "My lord, your mother's physical illness is not a serious problem, just be at ease."
