Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

While talking, Baili brought water into the room, but saw that there were several people in the room, "This...the prince...the lady...Jin Shangde? Song Duwei? Ning Hong? Why are you all here? How is this going?"

Defang waved, "Baili, come here."

Baili put down the bucket and ran to Defang's side, "My lord, what's going on?"

"Mr. Jin has been aware of everything for a long time, and now the empress also knows about it, and this maid was sent by Wang Jien to monitor the king. She heard about the fraudulent illness of the king, but fortunately, she was caught by Jia Jun."

"So it's you!" Baili pointed at the maidservant, "Ning Hong! How dare you spy on the prince! You don't want to live anymore!"

"My lord, spare my life! The chief executive, spare my life!" the maid cried, "I don't want to do this either, the lord is kind, if the slave and maid were not forced, they wouldn't do such an outrageous thing!"

"How did Wang Jien force you?" Defang asked

"Go back to the lord...the prince threatened the servant and the servant. If you don't listen to him, you will kill the whole family of the servant. And even if the servant doesn't do it, there will be someone who will do it. The servant doesn't want to die."

Defang sighed, "Yeah, what reason do you, a court lady, have to come to monitor the king? If it's not that your life is threatened, why is that so?"

"My lord, I beg my lord to spare my servant! I have concealed a lot of things that I told the prince before, and I don't want anything to happen to my lord, so I ask my lord to let me go!"

Concubine Di supported Defang and said, "My lord, I think what Ning Hong said is true. His Majesty gave the lord ten maids. They are all over the mansion every day. If everyone monitors the lord, every move of the lord will be censored." Your Majesty knows that Ning Hong and Zhang Yue can see the prince every day, if they really told Wang Jien what the prince said and did, then Wang Jien would have put you to death long ago, so the concubine feels that Ning Hong and Zhang Yue He is still a person with a conscience, and he did not intend to harm the people of Nanqing Palace, Wang Jien only knows about some trivial things done by the prince, so His Majesty has no way of knowing more."

"Then according to Madam's wishes?"

"Song Duwei just said that Ning Hong would meet with Wang Jien's people every other day, so if she is locked up, then Wang Jien will know that the prince has arrested his people, and must suspect that the palace has something to hide, and then he will go to the emperor. If there is slander, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no major incidents."

"Is the lady going to let Ning Hong and Zhang Yue go?"

Concubine Di thought for a while, and walked up to Ning Hong, "Ning Hong, this palace and the prince will not kill you, let alone your family, but if you still have a conscience, you should be loyal to the prince from now on, and stop doing things for Wang Jien." Work hard."

"The servant is willing to be loyal to the lord! The lord and empress want the servant to do whatever the servant does!"

"Your Majesty!" Song Jiajun said, "You can't trust her! Since she can be used by Wang Jien, she will definitely betray the prince in the future! Instead of letting her harm others in the future, it is better for my subordinates to kill her now!"

"Captain Song is not allowed!" Concubine Di said, "Although this palace and the prince are in a difficult situation, they will never kill anyone because of this. Captain Song is loyal and this palace understands, but if she dies, who will be with Wang Jien tomorrow?" How about meeting with your subordinates? There may be even greater dangers befalling the prince."

"But..."

"Captain Song, now we have no choice but this one way, both the palace and the prince are willing to go on."

Jia Jun looked at Concubine Di and De Fang, nodded, "I will obey the orders of the lord and empress, and swear to be loyal to the lord and empress." Then he put away the knife.
