Seeing that her interest was so high, the emperor couldn't bear to offend her, so he ordered Bingruo: "Bring your master's cloak!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er beamed, not because she was happy to go to the imperial garden to see Zhang Sui'er's secrets, but... the emperor agreed to her so easily. [ ]

It was late at night, and it was a bit weird to take the emperor out to admire the moon. It might even be unreasonable in the eyes of others, but the emperor just relied on her. Recalling that when he and the emperor were together, the emperor seemed to rely on her for everything.

, a strange feeling slowly grew in Wei Ning'er's heart.

"It's cold, wear more clothes!" The emperor put the cloak on her with his own hands, tied it up, and then took her hand and walked out.

In mid-October, it was extremely cold at night, and the biting cold wind blew in her face, making Wei Ning'er shiver.

The emperor held her hand tightly and then asked: "Is it cold?"

"As long as the emperor is here, I won't be cold!" After saying this, Wei Ning'er leaned against the emperor tightly and shrank back.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh: "It seems that Ning'er's invitation to me to admire the moon was a lie, but asking me to protect you from the cold wind is true!"

"Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er squealed, her face turning slightly red, but no one could see it at night.

"How about I take you to the city wall to have a look?" the emperor asked with a smile.

Wei Ning'er shook her head: "Although we can see clearly from high up, the wind on the city wall is so strong and it's too cold. Your Majesty, let's go to the Imperial Garden."

"Okay, it's up to you!" The emperor patted her head and smiled.

Wei Ning'er looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, and looked at the emperor beside her who was shielding her from the wind. She felt slightly sad in her heart. The emperor really doted on her and accompanied her to admire the moon, but she... was taking advantage of the emperor.

A trace of guilt surged into her heart, but when she thought about the possibility that Zhang Sui'er might threaten the emperor one day, the guilt in her heart gradually dissipated.

Everyone walked slowly to the Royal Garden, but Wei Ning'er was a little out of breath and couldn't help but stop.

"Tired!" The emperor touched her sweaty forehead and asked.

"Well, Your Majesty, I can't walk anymore!" She was indeed tired. After becoming a concubine, she rarely walked this far, and she always sat on her shoulders wherever she went.

"Okay, not far ahead is Qianqiu Pavilion. I will carry you there!" The emperor said and stretched out his hand.

"Your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er was startled and embarrassed, and couldn't help but hide back.

"Your Majesty, I can still leave. With so many servants here, I..." Wei Ning'er couldn't help but lower her head.

The emperor turned around and told Wu Shulai and others: "You wait here, there is no need to follow!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" everyone responded.

The emperor pulled Wei Ning'er, slowed down his pace, and went to Qianqiu Pavilion not far away.

About ten feet away from the pavilion, Wei Ning'er looked up and saw the palace maid Yue Zhi next to Zhang Sui'er looking around. When she saw her and the emperor, she was obviously startled and ran towards the pavilion not far behind her.

"Stop!" Wei Ning'er shouted.

Yuezhi paused, stopped tremblingly, turned around, knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Good luck to the emperor, good luck to the concubine!"

The voice was not loud, but she seemed to be scared and trembling all over.

"The garrison time has passed. If you don't serve Zhang Changzai, why are you forgetting the rules of the palace in this imperial garden?" Wei Ning'er asked in a deep voice.

"No... slave... slave..." Yuezhi faltered and was speechless.

"Why did you rush to the pavilion just now?" the emperor suddenly asked.

"Slave... I've been standing here for a long time. It's cold... I want to go to the pavilion to take shelter from the wind!" Yuezhi turned pale in shock and immediately replied.

"You are talking nonsense. Can you take shelter from the wind in the pavilion? Your Majesty, I think this girl is acting weird!" Wei Ning'er looked at the emperor beside her and said softly.

"Yeah!" The emperor nodded slightly and pulled Wei Ning'er towards the pavilion not far away.

When she was only about three or four feet away from the pavilion, Wei Ning'er stopped abruptly, shrank into the emperor's arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, listen, there is crying!"

When the emperor heard this, his expression was full of solemnity, and he stopped. He indeed heard the crying, but it was just scattered by the wind. If you don't listen carefully, you won't listen carefully.

"Your Majesty, the crying seems to be coming from the pavilion!" Wei Ning'er held the emperor's hand tightly.

At this time, Wei Ning'er felt a little nervous. She had just seen Yue Zhi and knew that Zhang Sui'er must be in the pavilion, but... why was there crying?

"Don't be afraid, I want to see who is playing tricks late at night!" Even though the emperor said this, he was afraid that something dirty might scare Wei Ning'er, so he immediately stood in front of her and pulled her up the steps step by step.

, and went to the pavilion.

When Wei Ning'er saw the emperor in front of her stop and hold her hand tightly, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in her heart, and then she peeked her head out, and her whole body suddenly froze.

The bright moonlight shone on a corner of the pavilion, where a man wearing a guard uniform sat on a stone bench. Because his back was to Wei Ning'er and the emperor, they couldn't really tell who the man was, but the man sitting there

The person who was on the man's lap, hugging him tightly, leaning her head on his shoulder and crying, was none other than Zhang Sui'er.

Wei Ning'er couldn't help but her eyes widened, and she understood everything in an instant. It turned out that Concubine Jia wanted her to bring the emperor to catch the adulterer. Wei Ning'er immediately regretted it, but everything was irreversible. Adultery was a capital crime.

Even if the two of them just hugged each other like this, it would still be a capital offense.

In the middle of the night, although she could not clearly see the emperor's expression at this moment, she knew that the emperor was furious at this moment, because he held her hand tighter and tighter, and it hurt so much that she couldn't help but frown, and gently

After shaking the emperor a few times, the emperor relaxed his grip, but did not let go of her.

"Brother Liang, the only person I can rely on now is you. Ever since you saved me in Baoding, I have secretly sworn in my heart that I will repay you with my life. Unfortunately, the emperor fell in love with me.

How dare I say no...Brother Liang, this harem is too terrible, I really regret it..." Zhang Suier said while crying.

"Sui'er, please stop crying. I promised you, don't you? Get up first. If others see you like this, they will misunderstand you!" At this time, although Liang Jing had a beautiful woman in his arms, he started to sweat all over his body.

Zhang Sui'er just said a few words to him before she threw herself into his arms and started crying, which made him confused. To be fair, he did feel pity for Zhang Sui'er and even thought about one day sending Zhang Sui'er to him through his brother Liang Jing.

Sui'er wanted to get out of the palace, but... ever since she became a concubine, he had no other thoughts. Now he helps her because he feels pity for her.

Zhang Sui'er did not let go of Liang Jing, but hugged him tighter.

"Sui'er!" Liang Jing couldn't bear it anymore and had to push her away and stood up. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the emperor and Wei Ning'er standing at the entrance of the pavilion through the moonlight and knelt down suddenly.

"Your Majesty...Empress..."

Zhang Sui'er was shocked when she heard this. When she turned around, her whole body instantly collapsed to the ground.

The emperor didn't say anything, and pulled Wei Ning'er out of the pavilion. Although he never cared about Zhang Sui'er, but... she was a concubine in the harem after all, and she was his woman. She betrayed him in front of him. How could he feel calm in his heart?

down.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Wei Ning'er held the Emperor's hand tightly.

The emperor suddenly stopped and held Wei Ning'er tightly in his arms. He let her go after a while and said softly: "Ning'er, have you ever lied to me?"

The emperor's extremely gentle voice sounded a bit eerie to Wei Ning'er, and she felt a shock all over her body, and she felt cold from head to toe.

"Your Majesty... I have never deceived your Majesty!" Wei Ning'er tried her best to calm herself down. She understood that as long as she hesitated for a moment at this moment, maybe... she would get burned.

"I heard that you lived in Fucha Mansion for a year before entering the palace!" The emperor gently touched Wei Ning'er's face and smiled.

The emperor's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Wei Ning'er feel dizzy for a moment. Fortunately, she was leaning on the emperor's arms at this moment, so she would not lose her composure.

The emperor actually asked this question. It can be imagined that there are some things that the emperor has known for a long time, but the emperor never mentioned it in front of her, and he doted on her in every possible way... To a woman who had doubts about himself, the emperor

Why is he so obedient? Maybe he is afraid that if this matter is revealed, Fu Heng and the Fucha family will be ruined, and the Empress will be miserable.

Then...the emperor's kindness to her is all fake...

For a moment, Wei Ning'er felt heartbroken, but she had to think of something to say to frustrate the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's because I was homeless at the time and had no way to go. My mother-in-law begged Aunt Hui from the Fucha Mansion. Later, after the empress agreed, I stayed in the Fucha Mansion.

"Wei Ning'er said softly.

"Ning'er seems to be very scared, and she is sweating on her forehead!" The emperor gently wiped away her sweat and said with a smile.

"I am afraid that the emperor will misunderstand me, so I am naturally afraid. Could it be that the emperor thinks that I have an affair with Master Fu Heng?" Wei Ning'er raised her head and asked.

"Why do you think so?" The emperor held Wei Ning'er's hand tightly.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed true that I lived in Fucha Mansion for a year, but...the garden where I lived was deep in Fucha Mansion, and...Master Fu Heng was working as an errand with the Emperor at that time, and it was difficult to return to the mansion.

It seems that I have only seen him from a distance once or twice a year, and I have never even seen his face clearly." Wei Ning'er paused slightly when she said this, with a hint of crying in her words: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, then...

Deal with this concubine!"

The emperor caressed her face and said with a smile: "Of course I believe in you!"

When Wei Ning'er heard this, a smile appeared on her face: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wei Ning'er originally thought that after this incident, the emperor would return to Yangxin Palace tonight, but she never thought that he would follow her back to Yanxi Palace.

At this moment, Wei Ning'er has not yet woken up from what happened just now, and has no intention of serving the emperor, but she cannot shirk it.

On the second day, the emperor left early, but Wei Ning'er never got up. Bingruo waited outside the tent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but whispered: "My lord, it's getting late. If you don't get up, you will miss the queen."
