Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Defang nodded and said, "Go to the East Palace."

"My lord, why don't you go back to the mansion to rest first?"

"The lonely king has been out of Beijing for several months, and he didn't inform his mother when he left. In addition, the lonely king went to quell the chaos later, and the queen mother must have been extremely worried. As a son of man, filial piety is the first priority, so he should go to the East Palace immediately to ask for forgiveness."

"Yes, my lord"

When the sedan chair team came to the East Palace, Defang took Tian Cheng into the courtyard, but smelled the decoction. At this moment, Defang's heart tightened. She knew that Queen Song must be ill in bed at this time. Thinking of this, Defang immediately ran to the hospital. In Empress Song's dormitory, she saw that Empress Song's personal lady, Fuer, was bringing medicine into the room, so she stepped forward to take the medicine tray. Fuer was very surprised when she saw that it was Defang, and was about to salute, Defang waved her hand to signal her There was no need to salute, and then gently opened the door and walked in. He saw Queen Song sitting on the bed, with her eyes slightly closed, and her complexion was not very good. Defang walked slowly in front of Queen Song, and put the medicine tray aside on the low table, and then knelt down on both knees, "Queen Mother, son-in-law is back."

Empress Song slowly opened her eyes, and turned her head to see Defang kneeling in front of the bed. She moved her body and said softly, "Defang, you... are you back?"

"Mother's queen..." Defang's tears rolled down, "My son's disobedience made my mother worry, and now he's sick, so my son's apology to my mother." After saying that, she kowtowed three times, Empress Song propped herself up and said, " Defang, get up, get up."

"The queen mother is sick, and the children and ministers can't wait around, please punish the queen mother."

Empress Song touched Defang's face with her hand, and said with tears, "You were ordered to go out of Beijing to quell the chaos, but for the sake of your homeland. How could the empress blame you? Seeing you return to Beijing safely, the empress will be relieved."

"Mother's queen..." De Fang held the hand of Empress Song and cried, "No matter how much the ministers contribute to the family and country, they will not be able to make the mother leave here. , My son is suffering in his heart, and he has begged the emperor's uncle for mercy more than once, but every time he mentions the matter of the queen mother, the emperor's uncle will leave his seat and never see him again... the mother... what should the son do to make her happy? The mother is free from pain..."
