Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Oh, that's it. By the way, hurry up, you two drink the soup first, it will cool down later."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Concubine Defang Di filled a bowl and drank it alone. Taizong looked at the two of them with a smile, which made Defang somewhat uncomfortable. He said a lot of things like paying attention to his health, and gave a lot of advice, so he waited for two full hours before returning to the palace.

After Taizong left, Defang said, "Madam, why is your majesty a little different today?"

"Yes, the concubines also feel the same way. It's too strange that His Majesty would say that the concubine matter should be left alone."

"It's really strange. Although the decree has not yet been made, it is clearly a decree. Moreover, His Majesty mentioned it when the King was ill. Why did His Majesty change his original intention in just a few days?"

"My lord," Concubine Di supported Defang's hand and said, "Could it be that Mr. Jin did it?"

"Impossible, what ability does he have to change His Majesty's mind as a doctor? What's more, how could he tell His Majesty these things?"

Concubine Di thought for a while, "Your Majesty is right...but...Mr. Jin did say that he could help him out of his troubles. Today, His Majesty really gave up on this matter. Is this a coincidence?"

Defang tapped her finger on the table and shook her head, "I don't know... But this king can't think of the reason for this. Could it be that Jin Shangde is not only good at medicine, but also can count?"

"My lord, no matter what, your first problem has been solved."

"Yeah, this incident is the cause. I thought it was difficult, but it was solved so easily." Defang smiled, and suddenly thought of Concubine Di, "Ma'am, do you think Jin Shangde can really heal your old problems?" disease?"

"The concubine doesn't know..."

"Will there be any problem with what Kim Sang-deok said about fighting poison with poison..."

"My lord, Jin Guoshou is bold and careful. He can beat the imperial doctor, which shows his excellent medical skills."

"That's true, but...can't the imperial doctor use medicine to fight poison with poison?"

"My lord, they are imperial doctors, how dare they use poison on the emperor's body? If something goes wrong, the whole family will be lost."

"Ma'am, what do you mean, the imperial doctor also knows the method of using poison to fight poison, but he dare not do it?"

Concubine Di nodded, and Defang frowned, "The imperial doctor dare not worry about making a mistake, but madam, is Jin Shangde really okay? After all, this poison is going to be used on you, madam."

"The concubine trusts him."

"But I'm worried..."

"Prince" Concubine Di took De Fang's hand, "The concubine's life is not long, are you afraid of leaving a few days earlier?"

"No! Ma'am, you will be fine!"

Concubine Di patted Defang's hand, "My lord, my concubine said that I would not leave you. Didn't we decide to give our lives to him that night?"

Defang lowered her head and thought for a long time, "Madam... I only believe Madam's words, Madam said she would never leave me."

Concubine Di nodded, "The concubine never breaks her word."

"I will always be by Madam's side." Defang held Concubine Di's hand with both hands, "Just hold you like this, no one can take you away."

Two days later, Jin Shangde administered injections and medicines to Concubine Di, while Defang stayed in the room every day, for fear that something might go wrong. Concubine Di was sweating profusely after taking the medicine, her body looked weak, and she occasionally coughed up blood. Defang couldn't stand watching Concubine Di suffer so much, and asked Jin Shangde to stop taking the medicine, but Jin Shangde was very persistent.

On the sixth day of the treatment, Defang supported Concubine Di to sit on the bed, and Jin Shangde came in with the medicine, "Ma'am, it's time to take the medicine."
