"Since you have made up your mind, I won't persuade you anymore, but I don't trust you to take the children alone. In the future, I will stay and protect you!" Hu Shijie said in a low voice after pondering for a moment

"No, brother Wenhao, I can't drag you down. Over the years, I owe you enough." Wei Ning'er shook her head violently.

"What are you talking about between me and you? Brother Wenhao won't let you suffer, whether it's inside or outside the palace!" Hu Shijie looked at her fixedly when he said this, and said seriously: "Really! Decided not to return to the palace for the rest of your life?"

"Yes! As long as I can watch Yongxuan grow up safely, I would rather no one in this world knows my existence with him!" Only Wei Ning'er knows what a child means to her. In the past four years, she has also I have hated and complained, and I have longed to return to the palace because of the hardships of life, and I have dreamed of her returning to the palace in countless dreams, exposing all the crimes of the Ulanara family, watching her drink The poisonous wine bestowed by the emperor is so satisfying.

But every time she wakes up from the dream and looks at Yongxuan beside her, she will suppress the hatred in her heart. It has been four years in a flash, and now that Ye Wenhao and E Ning are safe and sound, the hatred in her heart has gradually dissipated. It took a moment to completely dispel the idea of ​​returning to the palace.

"Ning'er... Now that you have made your decision, I respect your decision. I still have important matters to attend to, and I need to go back to the palace to report to the emperor. I will find a reason to leave the palace. It will only take three months at the most, and I will come back to you And children, take you out of here and find a truly safe place!" Hu Shijie said in a deep voice.

"Yeah!" Wei Ning'er nodded lightly, but in her heart she wanted to take the child and leave this place as soon as possible after he left.

She didn't want to drag Hu Shijie down, let alone her, Wei Ning'er knew that the only thing Hu Shijie couldn't let go of was his vengeance between Ama and Er Niang, she didn't want to drag him down anymore.

"Don't take the children away while I'm gone. Since I can find you once, I will find you a second time. I will find you all over the world!" Hu Shijie said seriously.

"Brother Wen Hao, don't worry!" Wei Ning'er sighed.

After seeing off Hu Shijie, Wei Ning'er went back to the house, only to find that Yongxuan had already fallen asleep on the kang, touching the child's immature smiling face, Wei Ning'er sighed, as long as she had the child by her side, she would be at ease.

A few days later, Wei Ning'er took her children and hired a carriage to leave Chun'an County with her burden on her back.

Since the emperor, Hu Shijie and others knew that she was in the south of the Yangtze River, she had to go north to avoid them. Maybe going to the capital would also be good. Although she couldn't go back to the palace and see the emperor again, at least it was very close to him, so she could know He can know about the princess and Fu Heng's affairs, and maybe he can secretly go to Wei Mansion to see Er Niang, so she will be satisfied.

On the way, Yongxuan, who was always in good health, fell seriously ill. Wei Ning'er had to stop to treat the child, and continued on the road after the child recovered. Because she was worried that the money would not be enough, Wei Ning'er did not even dare to hire a carriage. It was already April of the 20th year of Qianlong's reign when she and her child arrived in the capital.

After more than half a year, she finally arrived in the capital, the place she had been away for five years.

"Er Niang, is this the capital city?" Looking at the crowded streets with people coming and going, Yong Xuan gently shook Wei Ning'er's hand, his eyes were full of curiosity.

"Yes, this is the capital city, the largest and most magnificent place in our Qing Dynasty!" Wei Ning'er stopped and touched his small face and smiled.

"Then can we go to find grandma? Erniang said that grandma is in the capital!" Yongxuan couldn't help but feel a little excited. Although he was still young, he remembered what Wei Ning'er once told him that his grandma was in the capital. .

Wei Ning'er was shocked all over, and was stunned for a while, before she said bitterly: "Yongxuan, we just came to the capital, so we can't look for you, Ama, let's talk about it after we find a place to live!"

"Okay, Er Niang, I'm hungry!" Yong Xuan said softly, shaking her hand gently.

"Well, Erniang will buy you steamed buns!" Wei Ning'er laughed.

"Er Niang, today is my birthday, can I not eat steamed buns?" Yongxuan seemed to be afraid of eating steamed buns. Since leaving home with Er Niang, he has been eating steamed buns almost every day, and he got tired of eating them. .

"Yeah, my Yongxuan is five years old. Before you know it, you have grown up so much. Let's not eat steamed buns today. Look, there is a noodle restaurant over there. Erniang will take you to eat your favorite food." Braised noodles!" Wei Ning'er said, picked him up, and walked to the side of the road.

"Boss, have a bowl of braised noodles!" Wei Ning'er ordered a bowl of noodles for her son, and then sat down with him.

"E Niang, I can't finish eating such a big bowl of noodles, let's share half of it!" Yong Xuan was very smart, seeing that Er Niang only wanted a bowl of noodles, he knew that Er Niang was reluctant to eat it, and gave it to him alone.

Wei Ning'er looked at him, her eyes were slightly red. Although her son was still young, she was well-behaved and sensible. She couldn't help but secretly vowed in her heart that she would do her best to make her son live a better life.

"Okay... hurry up and eat!" Wei Ning'er smiled as she gently patted his head with tears in her eyes.

"Er Niang eat first!" Yong Xuan refused to move, gently took her hand and said with a smile.

Wei Ning'er nodded, and was about to move her chopsticks, but she heard the noodle eater say to the people around her, "Have you heard that the youngest son of Master Fu Heng, a scholar of the Palace of Preserving Harmony, turned one year old a few days ago, and Lord Long Live personally In the palace, I gave the Zhou Catch Ceremony and gave it a name!" When the man said this, his voice lowered a bit: "I heard that the child is the illegitimate son of the Grand Scholar's wife and the Long Live Lord, and is a serious prince!"

"Yeah, I have a cousin who works in the palace, and this matter has caused a lot of trouble in the palace..."

"It's not just in the palace. Who doesn't know the city of Beijing now? Who doesn't know? It's the first time that the Lord Long Live gave the minister's son a Zhou ceremony, and he even gave him a name and ordered him to be raised in the palace. It's the first time, I only heard about the adopted daughter of the Long Live God, but never the adopted son, maybe that child is the prince, I heard that the wife of the Grand Scholar is as beautiful as a fairy!"

"Yeah, back then we were the number one beauty in Manchuria!"

"..."

Wei Ning'er listened to the discussions around her, only felt that her head was buzzing, and she didn't even notice that the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground.

"Er Niang, what's wrong with you, Er Niang?" Yong Xuan shook her hand lightly.

Wei Ning'er burst into tears. Although she knew that the words of the common people were not to be trusted, there were no waves without wind, and she understood that no matter how good the emperor was to Fu Heng, he would not personally perform the Zhou ceremony for Fu Heng's children, and Giving her a name and ordering her to be raised in the palace, all this is too abnormal.

If Ruoyan loves Fu Heng so much, how could she have an affair with the emperor and give birth to a child?Wei Ning'er didn't believe it, but... these rumors are not groundless.

Ruoyan's beauty is unmatched by the concubines in the palace. Could it be...the emperor really fell in love with Ruoyan?

What happened?Wei Ning'er was momentarily flustered.

If that child is really the illegitimate child of the emperor and Ruoyan, what should Fu Heng do in the future?I'm afraid that she will never be able to raise her head again in the court, and she can only live in endless pain every day. She must not let this happen, absolutely not, that is her brother, she cannot let his life be ruined .

"Yongxuan, Erniang will take you to see your grandmother!" Wei Ning'er stood up abruptly, pulled the child and started to leave.

"Er Niang, I haven't eaten the noodles yet, I'm hungry!" Yong Xuan's small face was full of longing.

"Er Niang will buy you a steamed bun first, and go to grandma's house, you can eat whatever you want!" Wei Ning'er picked up her son, but she didn't care too much, hired a carriage and went to Wei's mansion.

When she arrived at the Wei Mansion, Wei Ning'er still didn't dare to go through the main entrance, but went to the small gate outside the courtyard where her mother-in-law Huang lived.

"Er Niang, does grandma live here?" Yong Xuan asked, shaking Wei Ning'er's hand.

"Yes!" Wei Ning'er nodded lightly, looked at the very familiar place in front of her eyes, held back her tears and tapped lightly a few times.

After a while, the door was opened, and a young servant stood at the door and looked at them before asking, "Who are you looking for?"

"Wei Xiuyun!" This young man was very unfamiliar, he should be a servant who entered the mansion after she entered the palace, and Wei Ning'er breathed a sigh of relief before she didn't know her.

"Looking for Fourth Young Master?" The young man looked at her in surprise, and then said coldly, "Young Master, it's inconvenient to see guests!" Then the door was about to be closed.

Wei Ning'er couldn't help but feel a little bitter in her heart. Although the Wei family is not a wealthy family, they can be regarded as relatives of the emperor at least now. No matter how bad it is, it is much better than before. Even the gatekeeper's eyes are higher than the top. She and her son are dressed in shabby clothes, let’s all underestimate them. Seeing that the door was about to be closed, Wei Ning’er stepped forward and pushed the door, and shouted: “Wait a minute, go and tell Wei Xiuyun that I am his aunt’s cousin. .”

Hearing what she said, the young man was stunned, and he arrived after a while: "Wait, I'll tell the Fourth Young Master right away!" Then he closed the door with a bang.

"Er Niang..." Yong Xuan seemed to be so hungry that he couldn't help it, his eyes were full of grievances.

"Yong Xuan, good boy, wait a minute!" Wei Ning'er patted her son's head and laughed softly.

After about a quarter of an hour, the door was pulled open abruptly, and a familiar figure rushed out. Seeing him, Wei Ning'er's eyes became hot, and she shed tears: "Brother!"

"Ning'er..." Wei Xiuyun was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "I said that Erniang doesn't even have any sisters. Where did my cousin come from? It's you, you...you're back!"

"Brother, don't say anything!" Wei Ning'er pulled him and cried.

"Okay, okay..." Wei Xiuyun's eyes were slightly red, and he was very excited.

"Yong Xuan, this is uncle!" Wei Ning'er wiped away her tears and said to Yong Xuan beside her.

"Uncle?" Yongxuan looked at Wei Xiuyun curiously.

Wei Xiuyun was shocked. She looked at Wei Ning'er with horror in her eyes: "He...he belongs to the emperor...."

"Brother!" Wei Ning'er stopped him softly, and then said in a low voice: "I'll talk to you later, I can't let anyone know about my return, especially aunt and brother, take me to see mother."

Wei Xiuyun's expression changed suddenly when he heard the words, and he pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice: "Ning'er... Er Niang, she...she...."

"What happened to Er Niang?" Wei Ning'er asked tremblingly with an ominous premonition in her heart.
