"Go ahead and talk!" Wei Xiuyun brought Wei Ning'er into the yard. 【 】

Wei Ning'er walked into Huang's bedroom with ease, but found that there was no one there. She panicked: "Brother, where's Er Niang?"

Wei Xiuyun asked the servant beside him to take Yongxuan to the outside of the courtyard, then looked at Wei Ning'er, said with a choked voice, "Ning'er, Er Niang...she passed away last year!"

"No... no, Er Niang has always been in good health, how could that be? Brother, you lied to me, right?" Wei Ning'er shook her head in disbelief, tears streaming from her eyes.

"Ning'er, I didn't lie to you!" Wei Xiuyun shook his head with red eyes.

"No, Er Niang... Er Niang..." Wei Ning'er was heartbroken, she never expected such a thing to happen, she would never see Er Niang again.

"Five years ago...the news of your disappearance was blocked by the emperor. The emperor even sent someone to live in the palace instead of you, looking for you in secret. This is not a secret among the royal family. Gradually, my mother and I also heard about it." On the news, Er Niang personally went to the Fucha Mansion to ask Mr. Fu Heng. After returning, she became seriously ill, and her spirit became more and more in a trance. She always called your name every day, saying that she was sorry for you...for hurting you .” Wei Xiuyun’s words were choked with sobs, and he couldn’t continue.

"Er Niang..." Wei Ning'er almost fainted.

"Ning'er, Erniang was sober a few days before she died, and left you a letter!" Wei Xiuyun took out a wooden box from a closet beside him, opened it carefully, took out the letter inside, and said solemnly : "Emiang made me swear, except you, no one is allowed to read this letter, including me, if I can't find you in my lifetime, I must destroy this letter"

Wei Xiuyun knew that there must be a big secret in this letter, so Er Niang was so careful that even he had to hide it.

Wei Ning'er took the letter with trembling hands, and took a while to open it. She recognized it at a glance. It was written by her mother-in-law Huang. These few pages were the last thing that my mother left her. Wei Ning'er Sobbing softly, reading the contents of the letter carefully, his face became paler and paler.

"Ning'er, what did Erniang say?" Wei Xiuyun couldn't help asking.

Wei Ning'er wiped away the tears on her face, and said in a deep voice, "Brother, bring me the torch!"

"Okay!" Wei Xiuyun nodded lightly, and ordered his servants to bring it.

Wei Ning'er took the fire folder and burned the letter, but her face became even more ugly, and she said bitterly after a while: "Brother, I can't tell you the contents of the letter, otherwise it will bring you a disaster of death, I think For the time being, please take care of Yongxuan, brother, naturally...you can't leave him in the Wei Mansion, if aunt and elder brother find out, maybe something will happen."

"Don't worry, I'll take the child there. I bought a house outside two years ago, and I have everything inside. I originally planned to move out of the Wei family with your sister-in-law in the next few days and set up my own house!" Wei Xiuyun said with a serious face.

"Brother, although Yongxuan is the prince, I don't want him to go back to the palace now, so I can only entrust him to you. Don't even tell your sister-in-law about this. The less people know about it, the better!" Wei Ning'er said in a low voice.

"Don't worry!" Wei Xiuyun nodded heavily: "I'll take you and the child to my new house right now!"

"En!" Wei Ning'er, with tears in her eyes, reluctantly looked at the place where Mrs. Huang lived before leaving with Wei Xiuyun.

When they arrived at Wei Xiuyun's new house, Wei Ning'er stayed with Yongxuan for a few days to let him get to know and accept Wei Xiuyun as his uncle before deciding to leave.

After all, Yongxuan was only five years old, and he had never been separated from Wei Ning'er when he was urinating. He naturally refused to allow Wei Ning'er to leave, and he dragged her to cry for a long time, but he did not agree.

"Erniang, I will be good, and I will never make Erniang angry again, Erniang, don't leave..." Yong Xuan hugged Wei Ning'er's leg tightly, crying and shouting.

"Yongxuan, promise Erniang, listen to uncle's words carefully, Erniang will come back to pick you up!" Wei Ning'er couldn't help but leaned down and hugged him in her arms, holding back tears, and said softly.

"No, I don't want to be separated from Er Niang, don't..."

Hearing the child's cry, Wei Ning'er felt like a knife was twisting in her heart, the child was reluctant to part with her, so how could she be willing to part with the child, but now the situation is pressing, she has no choice but to return to the palace, to the side of the emperor.

For Er Niang, for Fu Heng, she had to do this.

"Brother, take him back and let the servants watch him!" Wei Ning'er made up her mind and wanted to push the child away, but the child was holding on tightly to her dress.

"Er Niang, don't go, Er Niang, don't go..."

"Brother, take him away!" Wei Ning'er shouted in a low voice.

Wei Xiuyun sighed, and had to forcibly carry Yongxuan into the house and hand it over to his servants.

"Ning'er, are you really determined to go back?" Wei Xiuyun walked out of the room, looking at the heartbroken Wei Ning'er, his heart was full of distress.

"Brother, let's go!" Wei Ning'er said with tears in her eyes when she heard the cry of a child coming from the room.

Wei Xiuyun nodded slightly, and left with her.

Gu Lun's and Princess Jing's Mansion are located in Iron Lion Alley, far away from Wei's Mansion, Wei Ning'er sat in a sedan chair for more than half an hour before arriving.

After Wei Xiuyun invited the guards of the Princess Mansion to report, he waited outside for a while, and then saw the chief steward of the Princess Mansion greet him in person.

"Fourth Master Wei, the princess invites you in!" the butler said with a respectful laugh.

"Thank you, Steward Fu!" Wei Xiuyun returned the gift before following Steward Fu.

"Fourth Master Wei, you are here, the princess is waiting for you inside, please!" Chu Xia came out and smiled.

The servants of the Princess Mansion are so polite to Wei Xiuyun because he is Wei Ning'er's elder brother, and Wei Xiuyun has business contacts with the Princess Manor, and will visit the Princess and the consort several times a year, so everyone is very familiar with him.

Looking at Chu Xia, Wei Ning'er was stunned, her eyes were slightly red. After Empress Xiaoxian passed away, the aunt Chu Xia and Nanny Cui who were beside the Empress all left the palace to serve the princess. Wei Ning'er hadn't seen them for many years.

Chu Xia also looked at Wei Ning'er in surprise, not understanding why Wei Xiuyun brought a woman to meet the princess, and it was a woman wearing a veil, so she naturally did not recognize Wei Ning'er.

"Slave pays respects to the princess!" Wei Xiuyun stood still from a distance and slapped him a thousand times. He was born in Baoyi, so he was naturally a servant of the royal family. When he met the princess, he had to salute.

Princess Hejing has been overwhelmed by many things in the past two days. Although she was a little irritable at this time, she did not show it. She looked at Wei Xiuyun and was about to make him stand up, but she suddenly saw the woman standing behind Wei Xiuyun.

"Girl, I have to give a big gift when I meet the princess!" Chu Xia walked to Wei Ning'er and said in a low voice.

Wei Ning'er stretched out her hand to take off the veil on her face, looked at the dumbfounded Princess and Chu Xia, and said with a smile, "Do you really want me to salute?"

"Ning... Ning'er...." Princess He Jing stood up abruptly from the chair, ran to Wei Ning'er staggeringly, and hugged her: "Ning'er... really you are, you are still alive, You're back, you're finally back!"

"Princess!" Wei Ning'er patted her on the back lightly, and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and the princess is still so childish!"

"I already have two princesses, I am no longer a child!" The princess couldn't help laughing when she said this.

"The empress is really back!" Chu Xia was also very excited.

"Yes, I'm back!" Wei Ning'er nodded lightly, and said with a smile, "I took the risk to come here this time to ask the princess if the rumors are true?"

"Are you talking about Fukang'an?" Princess Hejing's face suddenly changed.

"Yes!" Wei Ning'er said seriously.

The princess waved her hand lightly, motioning for Chu Xia and Wei Xiuyun to kneel down, and then said solemnly: "I'm not sure about this, since my little uncle and aunt brought their eight-month-old child into the palace on New Year's Eve. After paying her respects, Huang Ama left the child in the palace, and asked her aunt to also stay in the palace to take care of the child. She often visited their mother and child. Rumors arose in the palace. A few days ago, Huang Ama even ordered the child to go Grab the Zhou ceremony and personally give the name."

"How could the emperor...can do such a thing?" After hearing what the princess said, Wei Ning'er was heartbroken. She didn't even dare to connect the person the princess said with the emperor. The current emperor is still the same as before. Is that a loving and righteous person?Wei Ning'er felt that her heart was going to be broken. It was only at this moment that she clearly knew that she actually cared so much about the emperor.

"I can't believe it either. After Fukang'an performed the ceremony of grasping the Zhou Dynasty, I went to see Huang Ama's bedroom. Naturally... maybe it was because of concern that it was messy. I was a bit rushed when I spoke. Huang Ama was furious and scolded me." Let me say a few words and order me to back down, Ning'er, Huang Ama has never treated me like this, I have been his favorite since I was a child, this is the first time he scolded me, because of that brat!" Princess Speaking of this, I couldn't help but redden my eyes, and my heart was full of grievances.

"Princess, arrange for me to enter the palace!" Wei Ning'er said in a deep voice.

Princess Hejing nodded slightly when she heard the words: "Huang Ama issued an order to pray for the child in Xin's womb in three days, and Queen Ulanara ordered me to go to the Old Summer Palace. I didn't want to go, but since you are back, I will I can't wait for that day to come soon." The princess paused slightly at this point: "Concubine Xin is Huang Ama's favorite person now, and the child in her womb is only seven months old, so Huang Ama ordered to give it to her. Her child prays for blessings, and even entertains all the concubines and princes and ministers in the palace, this kind of pampering, even the Queen Mother never had it before!"

When Wei Ning'er heard this, her heart sank a bit, but she never gave up the idea of ​​returning to the palace.

"Of course, Huang Ama also loves you, otherwise, in order to protect your name and status, she would risk the world's disgrace and let your court lady Qingyan pretend to be you to live in the palace." Princess Hejing laughed.

Wei Ning'er nodded lightly: "There is no order yet, let's talk about it when we return to the palace!"

On April 20th, the [-]th year of Qianlong, the emperor held a banquet in the Old Summer Palace with all the concubines and princes and ministers in the harem, praying for the child in the womb of the concubine Xin.

Wei Ning'er pretended to be the maid next to the princess, and followed her to the Old Summer Palace early on. The princess did not go to rest in the palace specially prepared for her by the emperor, but took Wei Ning'er to Zuixin Garden to get back everything that belonged to her.
