Chapter 277: Narrow Escape

At dusk, the sunset in the sky shines on the big trees beside the official road, emitting a golden light. In the afterglow, several carriages gradually drove forward. [ ]

"Miss, the weather is so good today, so warm, and it's so beautiful outside." The little girl reached out and lifted up the small curtain on the side of the carriage, looked outside, and her face was filled with a smile.

A girl sat in the carriage, wearing a light pink brocade flag suit, covered with a plain brocade cloak, and white fox fur on the collar, which made her face look even whiter and flawless. The girl was combed in a very simple bun, but the bun was wearing something extraordinary.

After hearing the little girl's words, the girl gently closed the thin hair on her forehead and smiled and said, "The sunset is so beautiful, it's just about dusk!"

"So what about dusk? I like it too!" the little girl laughed sweetly.

When the girl heard this, she laughed silently. The old woman sitting next to the girl looked at the little girl with some angriness: "Wu'er, you girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, it's a shame!"

"Mum, I'm biased towards Miss!" The girl called Wu'er stopped resigning and pulled the old lady's arm and shook it.

The girl looked at them and couldn't help but smile. With them by her side, it seemed that her family was forcibly forced to go to Jiangnan to recuperate.

"Miss is so beautiful!" Wu'er smiled blankly.

When the girl heard this, she couldn't help but blush on her face, pretty as peaches of spring and pure as chrysanthemums of autumn. She was talking about a woman like her.

"Miss, someone fainted on the side of the road in front!" A middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper ran to the carriage and reported.

"What?" The girl's face changed slightly when she heard this, and she said to the old lady beside her: "Madam Su, go and take a look, is there any help?"

"Yes, Miss!" Madam Su responded and immediately got off the carriage.

"Wu'er, go and have a look with me!" The girl ordered the little maid next to her again.

"Yes, Miss!"

"Miss, I'm fine, I just fainted and became pregnant. I don't know if I've had a fetal aura!" Madam Su said with some concern.

The girl looked at the person who was unconscious on the ground carefully, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Please carry her onto the carriage and go to the town in front to find a doctor!"

"Yes, Miss!" Madam Su responded and immediately ordered.

When Wei Ning'er woke up again, it was already late at night. When the little maid who was guarding her was awake, she immediately ran to the next door to find Madam Su.

"Mrs., are you awake? But what else is there to be discomfort?" Madam Su walked in and asked softly.

"You?" Wei Ning'er was slightly surprised.

"We found you fainted on the side of the road. The lady told us to rescue you. This is the inn in the town." Madam Su said patiently.

"My child!" Wei Ning'er suddenly touched her stomach, and she was relieved until she was sure the child was still there.

"Don't worry, the doctor said, you are just overworking, and the child in your womb is not seriously injured!" Madam Su said with a smile.

"I wonder if there is anything to eat?" Wei Ning'er felt hungry and felt a little painful after she felt hungry.

"Yes, the doctor said that you have hurt your stomach and can only drink rice porridge in the past two days!" Madam Su said this and instructed the little maid to bring the rice porridge to Wei Ning'er.

Wei Ning'er endured her hunger and slowly drank the rice porridge, then she felt much more comfortable all over her body.

"I don't know what my wife is called?" Madam Su asked with a tentative look.

Wei Ning'er's clothes were prepared by Xiao Xiazi for her. After escaping from the palace, she and Bingruo got on the carriage and changed into the palace maid's clothes and put on the Su embroidered flag suit. Although the escape was cut a little and covered with dirt, the value of the clothes could be seen, so Madam Su concluded that she was a little extraordinary.

"I..." Wei Ning'er pondered for a moment before saying, "I am Fucha, my husband's surname is Huang!"

"In this way, Mrs. Huang was also a Manchu nobleman. No wonder the flag dress on her body was particularly valuable!" Madam Su laughed when she heard this.

"Yes, something happened at home, and I had to take my subordinates out of the capital. Unexpectedly, I encountered robbers in the mountains, so I ended up like this!" Wei Ning'er said this and remembered Hu Shijie and the other two, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Mrs. Huang doesn't know if you can't walk casually in the mountains or if you walk on the official road, you don't know if Mrs. Huang wants someone to take you back to the capital?" Madam Su said with a smile.

Wei Ning'er was stunned when she heard this. Fu Heng and Ruoyan were both on the Western Tour, and Princess Hejing was the same. Even if she returned to the capital, who could she find? Will she return to the Wei Mansion? I am afraid that the Wei Mansion would have been secretly controlled at this time and entered the palace. That would have even become a self-sentenced person.

Thinking of this, Wei Ning'er shook her head gently: "My husband is not in the capital now."

"Our lady is going to Jiangnan. I don't know where you are going, Mrs. Huang. Our lady said that if it is convenient, I can send you a trip!" Madam Su smiled. Her lady has always been kind-hearted.

"That's how I'll be fine!" Wei Ning'er didn't know where to go now. She couldn't go back to the capital at this time. Now she was getting heavier and penniless, and she couldn't support her and her children at all.

The two jade hairpins on their heads are both top-notch, but they are marked by imperial craftsmen on them. There is no pawnshop to dare to ask for them, and no one dares to sell them. If they are sold, something big might happen. Besides, it is the Phoenix Jade Pendant, but she is reluctant to let it go.

Now it’s better to follow the person who saved her first and make plans after she has recovered. Thinking of this, Wei Ning'er smiled and said, “I don’t know what you call her?”

"Mrs. Huang doesn't have to be too polite. Just call me Madam Su!" Madam Su smiled.

Wei Ning'er nodded gently and smiled, "Madam Su, I wonder which lady is from?"

"It's the lady of Dai Jia, but... our adults passed away last year!" Madam Su couldn't help feeling a little sad when she said this.

Wei Ning'er's mind flashed: "But the former governor of Zhili, Lord Su Tu?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Su suddenly raised her head and looked at her, her eyes full of surprise, but she nodded: "Madam is quite knowledgeable!"

It turned out to be him. Wei Ning'er was even more shocked. Su Tu was an important official during the late emperor. After the emperor ascended the throne, he still gave important tasks. He was all responsible for the ranks of officials who were striking the country. Wei Ning'er remembered that in the tenth year of Qianlong, when she and the emperor visited in private, she met Su Tu in the Zhili Governor's Office in Baoding. She never thought that the one who saved her today was Su Tu's daughter.

"It's not that I have a good understanding, but my mother's family is Fucha, and I am a distant relative of Empress Xiaoxian's mother's family. I also visit Fucha Mansion on weekdays, so I know something!" Wei Ning'er smiled.

When Madam Su heard this, her eyes lit up, but she didn't say much, and said with a smile: "It's getting late, Mrs. Huang should rest early. If you have any questions, call the little maid outside!"

"There is Madam Lao Su!" Wei Ning'er felt a little calmer after watching her leave. Perhaps she was too tired and gradually fell asleep.

On the sixth day of the third month, the emperor traveled westward and arrived at the Forbidden City in the afternoon. After the emperor got off the dragon, he came to Yanxi Palace desperately.

At this time, there was a silence in Yanxi Palace. The emperor staggered into the side hall. Looking at the coffin parked in the middle, the glimmer of hope in his heart over the past few days was suddenly shattered.

"Ning'er..." The emperor's eyes were red, and he rushed forward and rushed to the coffin. He reached out and wanted to push the coffin open, but was hugged by Wu Shulai behind him.

"Your Majesty, you can't look at it. Your Majesty, I heard from the person who restrained his bones. The Empress was burned and her whole body was charred, and she couldn't tell at all!" Wu Shulai said sobbingly.

But the emperor kicked Wu Shulai away and pushed the coffin away. When he saw the corpse inside, he shouted to the slaves behind him: "Where is there a corpse? Where is that Bingruo?"

Everyone was frightened and immediately took the emperor to see him.

"Wu Shu comes, I know she is not dead, I know!" After the emperor walked out of the palace maid's room, he pulled Wu Shu to shout.

Seeing the emperor's red eyes flashing with tears, Wu Shulai was stunned, and nodded vigorously for a while: "Yes, the auspicious image of the empress will not happen!"

"Yes, Ning'er has a child, but these two corpses are normal. Wu Shu comes and send someone to test it." The emperor shouted excitedly.

"Yes, the emperor!" Wu Shulai immediately sent the eunuch.

About an hour later, the emperor finally confirmed that both bodies were not Wei Ning'er. At this time, he also remembered that since he returned to the palace, he had no sign of E Ning and Hu Shijie. After sending people to search, he realized that since the fire in Yanxi Palace, the people in the Yangxin Palace had never seen Hu Shijie and Wu Shu again.

At this time, it had been more than half a month since the Yanxi Palace was burned down, and almost no clues were found. But unexpectedly, the emperor was sure that both bodies were not Concubine Ling, so he sent someone to search the palace.

"Emperor, how do you make sure that the person who died was not Concubine Ling?" The empress dowager felt that the emperor was just comforting herself.

"My mom, I looked at Ning'er before leaving. She was six months pregnant at that time, and now she is more than seven months old. However, none of the two corpses are pregnant. From this, I concluded that someone wanted to harm Ning'er and deliberately set fire. Both corpses were impersonated. I want to know where Ning'er is? Can she be safe?" When the emperor said this, he felt a heart-wrenching pain spread from his heart to his limbs and bones.

As the Lord of the Nine Five, he could not protect his beloved and their children, and he caused them to suffer such sins.

"This... she has a child!" The Empress Dowager was also stunned, and then said: "It's true that the corpse is not Concubine Ling, will she leave the palace?"

"Leave the palace?" The emperor was shocked when he heard this: "Even if she left the palace, she was just to save her life. Who... who forced her to do this? I sent E Ning, Hu Shijie and others to protect her. Now there is no one in them. Something must have happened!" The emperor's eyes were red when he said this.

"Emperor, calm down first!" The empress dowager felt an ominous premonition in her heart. She had never seen such a irritable emperor before, and her intuition told her that there would be bloody storms in the palace.
