Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"How is it? Where's Xian'er?"

"I searched all the trees, rooms and rockery, but I couldn't find the Second Highness."

"What about Neng'er and Ling'er?"

"In the study, the little princess has been crying."

Defang hurried to the study, and Wei Neng and Weiling ran over to hug Defang when they saw Defang, "Father!"

"Good boy, don't cry, don't cry, the father is back." Defang quickly patted the two children to comfort them, then hugged them and sat on her lap. Defang looked at Weiling, "Ling'er, where did the second brother go?"

"Go climb a tree, second brother... I can't get down..."

"Where's the tree?"

"It's a very tall tree, my second brother hangs it on it..."

"Where did he take you to climb trees? Gardens? By the lake or somewhere?"

"The yard...is very big...Grandfather Taizu..."

"Too... Grandpa Taizu? Ling'er, what are you talking about? Father Wang didn't understand."

"Grandfather Taizu is..."

Defang looked at Weiling, "Ling'er, aren't you scared? What grandpa?"

"Second brother took the child there..."

"Where did you go?" Defang was anxious, not knowing what Ling'er meant by hanging on a tree. "Ling'er, think about it carefully. Did the second brother really hang on a tree? Where is the tree? What's around?"

"There is a pool... a mountain... a lot of trees..."

"Is it by the lakeside of Mingfang Pavilion?"

Wei Ling shook her head, "There is Grandpa Taizu...and Uncle Wang..."

"What are you talking about, Ling'er? Which courtyard did you and your second brother go to play? What did you see?"

"Ya..." Wei Ling couldn't remember the name, "The door is open..."

"Don't worry, Linger, think about it slowly." Defang patted Weiling and thought to herself, "Ya... Baili, Yayi Loft, Yahan Pavilion on the rockery, have you looked for it?"

"I've looked for them all." Baili shook his head, "There's none."

At this time, Wei could say softly, "Father...Second brother said...to play in the backyard..."

"Backyard?" Defang looked at Wei Neng, "Second Brother said?"

"Well... the second brother said he would come back after playing for a while..."

Defang thought for a while after hearing this, "Ling'er, did my second brother take you to climb trees in the backyard?"

"Um..."

"Is it Yaxian written on the stone gate? You went to the Buddhist hall and saw the tablet of Grandpa Taizu?"

"Um..."

"Baili, have you looked in the backyard?"

"No... Your lord, you won't let people go..."

"Tell Jiajun to go to the backyard right away!" Defang handed Wei Neng Weiling to the servant, and ran out of the study to the backyard. On the way, he met Concubine Di who rushed over. Where are the concubines!"

"Ma'am...I...I'm afraid you're in a hurry."

"Aren't you more anxious now? I heard them say that they have searched everything inside and out." Concubine Di was very anxious, "Could it be that she ran out of the house again? It's so late, if something happens, it's okay, send someone out quickly Find it!"

Defang supported Concubine Di, "Ma'am, don't worry, Fang Cai'er said that Xian'er took Ling'er to the backyard, no, I'm going to look for it."

"Backyard? Buddhist hall?"

"Yes, Ling'er said that she saw the tablet of Emperor Taizu, there is nothing wrong with that."

As soon as Defang finished speaking, Concubine Di turned around and ran away, "Oh! Madame, please slow down!" Defang hurriedly chased after them, and when the two rushed to the Shimen in the backyard, Baili and Jiajun also arrived. "My lord, my lord!"

"Stop talking." Concubine Di pushed open the door, "It's important to go in and find Xian'er first."
