The queen nodded lightly, finally calmed down, and then said to Mu Yun: "I will keep an eye on this palace in the future, I must keep an eye on it, she thinks that this palace can leave if she wants to, and stay if she wants to stay? In the five years outside the palace, many wonderful things may have happened. As long as I use it carefully, the concubine will be saved forever. I don't believe that the emperor will not have any suspicions in his heart.【 】”

Today's Old Summer Palace is destined to be a sleepless night, because of Wei Ning'er's sudden appearance, the situation in the palace is almost broken at once. Almost everyone in the harem is in danger, especially those who entered the palace after Wei Ning'er left.

These days, the emperor has been very kind to Ruoyan and Fukang'an. He not only gave Ruoyan a bedroom in the Old Summer Palace to live in, but also visited their mother and child every day. Although they never stayed overnight, everyone could see clearly that Fukang An is the emperor's son. The emperor did something that violated the rules of the ancestors. Naturally, the empress dowager and empress would not let it go, but the emperor was very protective of their mother and son. Here, he became a special existence, and the concubines in the harem did not dare to provoke him.

But as soon as Wei Ning'er came back tonight, she drove Ruoyan back to Fu Heng's side, let their mother and son leave the palace, and let the blessing feast go nowhere, and offended the two women the emperor cared about the most these days all at once. She was able to retreat completely, and the emperor threw his heart on her and chased her out.

Everyone understood that the harem was about to change.

In Zuixin Garden, Wei Ning'er sat quietly on the soft couch with a blank expression on her face, the emperor beside her was also silent, and all the servants had already retreated.

"Ning'er, how have you been these past few years? How is the child?" the emperor broke the silence and asked bitterly.

Ever since the emperor overheard Dai Jia playing and singing Wei Ninger's favorite song at the time, the emperor asked Dai Jia in detail to confirm that Wei Ning'er had given birth to a child.

"No, sleeping on the street, life is always at stake, you can't eat your next meal!" Wei Ning'er paused slightly when she said this, she also wanted to tell the emperor that she had a good life, but recalling the hardships of the past few years, recalling her She couldn't say anything about the hungry child with her baby in her infancy. Although she was told wisely that if she wanted to regain the emperor's favor, she had to please the emperor, but she didn't want to wrong herself and the child.

"Ning'er, it's my fault!" The emperor turned around and held her hand tightly. The touch was rough, and he was slightly stunned. When he saw the thick calluses on Wei Ning'er's palm and fingers, his eyes turned red. :"you……."

Wei Ning'er couldn't help but sneered: "The emperor must think that my concubine is lying to you!"

"No!" The emperor shook his head violently.

"The concubine also wants to tell the emperor that the concubine is doing well, but you are the emperor, how dare the concubine deceive the emperor? Since the emperor learned that the concubine was rescued by her from Concubine Xin, he should know that the concubine was rescued by her. What was the situation when she was rescued? You should know how the concubine escaped death and gave birth to the child? You should know how the concubine left with the child in the first place? The emperor wants to know how the concubine and the child have lived in the past few years Are you going to live?" Wei Ning'er's words were full of misery, even though she told herself to be strong, she couldn't hold back the tears.

"I'm sorry, Ning'er, it's because I didn't protect you well!" The emperor hugged her tightly.

"A weak woman, it's so hard to live with a child. Even the only valuable thing on her body was robbed. Although it was a property in the palace and could not be exchanged for silver, they even robbed me of the silver that Dai Jiashi gave me. I’m living on the street with my child, if it wasn’t for kind-hearted people to take them in and help them wash their clothes, I’m afraid that my child and I would be frozen to death in the snow that is rare in the south of the Yangtze River.”

"I'm sorry, Ning'er, I'm sorry!" The emperor felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart.

Wei Ning'er pushed him away with all her strength: "You are the emperor, the ruler of all the people in the world, but even you can't protect me and my children, who else can I rely on? I can only rely on myself, maybe the emperor will ask, why? I have not returned to the palace for the past five years? With your protection, the emperor, my child and I will be murdered and hunted down, so I dare to go back to the palace?"

"It won't happen in the future, and such a thing will never happen again!" The emperor blamed himself, hating himself for not arranging more people to protect her, but... who would have expected that someone would dare to risk the disgrace of the world? something like that.

"The emperor sent people to look for the concubine and the child, but do you know the concubine? When the concubine was desperate, he took the child to the state capital and told them the concubine's true identity. Unexpectedly, they said that the concubine was a fake and messed up." Beating the concubines out of the yamen, this is not over, at night, they chased them to the ruined temple to kill them, why? The concubines don't understand, is the emperor looking for the concubines or killing them?" Wei Ning'er said this His eyes were full of resentment, he hated that he had to go back to the palace, had to go back to this dirty place.

The emperor was shocked when he heard the words, and he was silent for a moment before he said: "Ning'er, how can you suspect that I am going to harm you. In the past five years, I have missed you and your child every day, and wished to find you soon, so why would I harm you!"

"Missing me and my child every day?" Wei Ning'er sneered: "Then what happened to Ruoyan and Fu Kang'an? What happened to Concubine Xin's blessing banquet? The emperor already has a beloved person and child, and there is more than one , will you still miss the concubine and the concubine's children?"

"Ning'er, listen to me..."

"Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er interrupted him: "The reason why this concubine entered the palace again and returned to this terrible place is to ask the Emperor, is Fu Kang'an your son?"

The emperor looked at her fixedly, his eyes were full of pain, and he shook his head in embarrassment after a while: "No!"

"Really?" Wei Ning'er couldn't believe it.

"When did I ever lie to you?" the emperor said bitterly.

Wei Ning'er was silent when she heard the words, and said after a while: "In that case, my concubine thanked the emperor for loving Fukang'an so much. After all, he is my concubine's nephew, but can the emperor tell my concubine, do you like Ruoyan?"

"I don't like it!" the emperor blurted out.

Wei Ning'er was finally relieved, and sighed: "I hope the emperor will remember what you said today!"

"Ning'er, I have been investigating what happened back then, and I will not let you and the child suffer for nothing!" The emperor said while hugging her gently.

"Really?" Wei Ning'er smiled wryly, and said after a while, "Your Majesty, my concubine has been outside the palace for five years. Although you arranged for Qingyan to pretend to be a concubine, but... no one in the palace knows what's going on. When I go back to the palace, there must be someone who will embarrass my concubine, make trouble for my concubine leaving the palace, and impose unwarranted charges on my concubine. Today, my concubine will uglify me first. If they dare to do this, the emperor will not believe my concubine , even if the concubine dies, she will not stay in the palace."

"No matter what happens, my trust in you will remain the same!" Thinking of Wei Ning'er's suffering with the child, the emperor felt very distressed. Now that she can come back, it is already a gift from heaven, so how could he not believe her? .

Although the years have not left traces on Wei Ning'er's face, she is still so beautiful, but due to long-term labor and poor nutrition, her skin is not as fair and delicate as usual, and her hands are covered with calluses, all of which are reminded all the time Emperor, how much has she suffered.

"Your Majesty, the concubine named the child Yongxuan, and the concubine placed him in a very safe place. The concubine does not want him to return to the palace for the time being, nor does he want more people to know his existence. Please agree with the emperor." !" Wei Ning'er said softly.

"Yongxuan... Yongxuan..." the emperor murmured softly, "I was overjoyed when I found out that you had a child. During the east tour, I kept thinking about the name of the child. Yongxuan is also my favorite. Ning'er, did you leave him outside the palace because you were afraid that I would not be able to protect him?" The emperor felt bitter in his heart, he was the emperor, but the person he loved didn't trust him.

"Your Majesty, for the past five years, Qingyan has remained in the palace pretending to be a concubine, but there has been no news of her pregnancy. The Emperor announced to the world that the concubine gave birth to a prince, and the prince is already five years old. Yu etiquette is inconsistent, not to mention, Yongxuan was not born in the palace, so it may be difficult to recognize the ancestors and return to the clan!" Wei Ning'er said and looked at the emperor with some concern: "The concubines cannot let the emperor be criticized for this."

The emperor blamed himself and felt heartbroken when he heard the words, and said after a while: "I promise you, Ning'er, don't worry, I will not let my child live among the people, I will definitely take him back to the palace, and I will not let you You mother and child suffer again."

Wei Ning'er breathed a sigh of relief, what she was most afraid of was that the emperor would take Yongxuan into the palace, although no one knew about Yongxuan being given to her brother, but she couldn't guarantee that it would be kept secret forever.

After sending the emperor away, Wei Ning'er was exhausted physically and mentally, so she took a rest very quickly. On the second day, she didn't even get up to go to Yimengxuan to pay her respects to the queen, and she didn't get up until the sun was high.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qing please see me!" Qing Yan came in and said respectfully.

"Concubine Qing!" Wei Ning'er was slightly taken aback, she couldn't think of such a person in her mind, and thought to herself, could it be that she is a newcomer to the palace in recent years.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Qing is Lu Guiren, and the Emperor has already promoted her to her position." Qingyan said in a low voice.

"Ask her to come in!" Wei Ning'er only caught a glimpse of Lu Yunxi among the crowd last night, and she was very excited when she heard her here.

"My concubine pays her respects!" Lu Yunxi bowed her knees and greeted her as soon as she entered.

"Did sister do it on purpose? I didn't see you salute me back then. I haven't seen you in a few years, but I'm so born!" Wei Ning'er said with some reproach.

"Ning'er, you're back!" Lu Yunxi hugged Wei Ning'er, shedding tears like rain, she wiped away her tears after a while, and said with a serious face: "Ning'er, it's not the best time for you to come back now, empress At the height of the sun, Concubine Xin is very favored, and there are several newly promoted concubines who are also quite favored, how can they bear it when you come back, I'm afraid it will be bad for you!"

"Sister, don't worry, I have my own opinion!" Although Wei Ning'er was also very worried, but now that things are overwhelmed, she can only face the difficulties.
