Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Princess Qin approached the white mantle and helped Defang up, "Defang...the queen mother heard..."

"Sister... Mother Empress He Gu... why..."

"Defang, it's all over... My mother doesn't want you to be so sad..."

"elder sister..."

"Defang" Princess Qin wiped away Defang's tears with her hands, "My empress loved you the most during her lifetime, and it is her greatest wish that you, Defang, be safe and sound."

"Sister... my mother has suffered so much for me...but I... can't do anything for my mother, I... just a weak and unfilial person..."

"Don't say that about yourself, Defang, you can do and say what you can, you have done your best."

"But I didn't do anything!" Defang took the official hat in Baili's hand and threw it on the ground. "What eight virtuous kings! I am nothing! I don't want anything!"

"Defang!" Princess Qin hurriedly pulled Defang back, "Don't do this! Think about Mingzhi, think about the children!"

Defang slowly knelt on the ground, and Princess Qin knelt down to support him, "Defang, are you alright?"

"Sister" Defang looked at Princess Qin with tears in her eyes, "I miss my father...the queen mother...brother..."

Princess Qin patted Defang's head, and slowly hugged him, "Defang, there is still my sister here, and my sister will not leave, and will always be with you."

"Sister..." Defang burst into tears, and Princess Qin also shed tears, stroking Defang's back "Defang, the queen mother once told her sister that it is very gratifying to see you stand firm in the court. In the past, you had to live well, for everyone."

Defang cried and nodded. Princess Qin comforted him for a long time before Defang calmed down a little. Baili hurriedly helped him up and sat on the chair, "My lord, drink some tea."

"Don't drink anymore." Defang slowed down, stood up and said, "It's my younger brother's fault to make my sister worry, and my younger brother will apologize to my sister."

"Defang, my sister doesn't blame you, as long as you're fine." Princess Qin patted Defang, "Let's go to the teahouse with my sister and talk."

"Okay, sister please."

Defang and her sister, Princess Qin, talked for a long time, and she felt a little better. Outside the door, Princess Qin's guards walked in, "See you, my lord and princess."

"What's the matter?"

"Back to the princess, someone came from the mansion just now, saying that the son-in-law has returned to the mansion, and sent someone to pick you up."

Hearing this, Defang said, "Sister, it's getting dark too, my little brother will take you back."

"No need, Defang, you should go back home quickly, Mingzhi is still waiting for you."

Defang helped Princess Qin out of the mansion of Princess Yan, "Sister, go back and have an early rest. My younger brother will visit you and brother-in-law at the mansion some other day."

"Okay, Defang, take care of yourself."

"Yes, I remember." Defang watched the Qin Princess sedan chair team go away, and then got on the sedan chair by herself, and it was already dark when I returned to Nanqing Palace. The sky was already dark, Defang stepped out of the sedan chair, and Guangxiang ran over." See my lord."

"Well, it's free."

"My lord, Lord Li came here again after you left the mansion today, and said that he would come to see you tomorrow."

"Master Li? Are you here again?"

"My lord," the goalkeeper said, "It's Li Zuoning, Lord Li. When Lord Li came at Chenshi, Baili Gonggong said that you hadn't gotten up yet, and that you would come back in the afternoon, but you have entered the palace again."

Defang looked at Baili, "Why didn't you tell Gu Wang that Mr. Li is coming today?"

"Small... forgot..."

"What's on your mind all day long?" Defang nodded Baili's head, "either dozing off or forgetting things."

"The little one made a mistake, my lord, please punish the young one."
