Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Seven
"Yes, I have a cousin who works in the palace, and this matter has caused a lot of controversy in the palace..."
"It's not just the palace, but no one knows Beijing now. It's the first time that the Lord Wansui held the Zhou rituals for the minister's son, and he gave a name and ordered to raise it in the palace. That's the first time. I've only heard of the Lord Wansui's adopted daughter, but I haven't heard of the adopted son. Maybe the child is the prince. I heard that the wife of the Grand Secretary is as beautiful as a fairy!"
"Yes, I was the number one beauty in Manchuria at the time!"
“….”
Wei Ning'er listened to the discussion around, and felt a buzzing sound in her mind, and the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground without even notice.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Yongxuan shook her hand gently.
Wei Ning'er's tears suddenly fell. Although she knew that the people's words were unreliable, there was no wind and waves. Moreover, she understood that no matter how good the emperor was to Fu Heng, he would not personally capture the Zhou rituals for Fu Heng's children, and gave him a name and issued an order to raise them in the palace. All this was so abnormal.
If Yan loves Fu Heng so much, how could she have an affair with the emperor and give birth to a child? Wei Ning'er doesn't believe it, but... these rumors will not be groundless.
Ruoyan is beautiful and no one can match the concubines in the palace. Could it be... The emperor really likes Ruoyan?
What happened? Wei Ning'er was confused for a moment.
If that child is really the illegitimate son of the Emperor and Ruoyan, what should Fu Heng do in the future? I am afraid that he will never raise his head in the court and can only live in endless pain every day. She must not let all this happen, she must not, that is her brother, she cannot let him be destroyed in this life.
"Yongxuan, my mother takes you to see my grandmother!" Wei Ning'er stood up suddenly, pulled the child and was about to leave.
"Mom, I haven't eaten the noodles yet, I'm hungry!" Yongxuan's small face was full of desire.
"My mom bought you a steamed bun first. I went to my grandmother's house and you had everything you wanted!" Wei Ning'er picked up her son, and didn't care about so much. She hired a carriage and went to the Wei Mansion.
When she arrived at the Wei Mansion, Wei Ning'er still did not dare to go to the main entrance, but went to the small door outside the yard where her mother Huang lived.
"Mom, does grandmother live here?" Yongxuan asked, shaking Wei Ning'er's hand.
"Yes!" Wei Ning'er nodded slightly, looked at the familiar place in front of her, held back her tears and knocked her gently a few times.
A moment later, the door was opened, and a servant stood at the door and looked at them before asking, "Who are you looking for?"
"Wei Xiuyun!" The servant was very polite. It should be the servant who entered the mansion after she entered the palace. If she didn't know her, Wei Ning'er breathed a sigh of relief before whispering.
"Look for the Fourth Young Master?" The servant looked at her in surprise, and then said coldly: "Young Master is not convenient to see guests!" He was about to close the door.
Wei Ning'er couldn't help feeling a little bitter. Although the Wei family is not a wealthy family, they are now considered relatives of the royal family. No matter how bad it is, they are much better than before. Even the people guarding the door were more jealous. They probably looked at her and her son's dressing very shabby. They looked down on them. When the door was about to be closed, Wei Ning'er stepped forward and pushed the door, shouted: "Slow up, tell Wei Xiuyun that I am his aunt's cousin."
The servant was stunned when he heard her say this, and then he arrived for a moment: "Wait, I'll tell the Fourth Master now!" Then he slammed the door.
"Mom..." Yongxuan seemed so hungry that she couldn't help it, her eyes full of grievances.
"Be good to Yongxuan, wait a little longer!" Wei Ning'er touched her son's head and laughed softly.
After about a quarter of an hour, the door was suddenly pulled open, and a familiar figure rushed out. Seeing him, Wei Ning'er's eyes heated up and shed tears: "Brother!"
"Ning'er..." Wei Xiuyun was stunned and then was overjoyed: "I said my mother doesn't even have sisters. Where did I come from? It's you, you...you are back!"
"Brother, don't say anything!" Wei Ning'er pulled him and said sobbingly.
"Okay, okay..." Wei Xiuyun's eyes were slightly red and she was very excited.
"Yongxuan, this is my uncle!" Wei Ning'er wiped away her tears and said to Yongxuan 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 is the emperor..."
"Brother!" Wei Ning'er whispered and then whispered: "I'll tell you in detail later. I can't let anyone know about my return, especially the aunt and the elder brother. Take me to see my mother."
Wei Xiuyun's expression changed suddenly when she heard this. She pondered for a moment before she said in a deep voice: "Ning'er...mother...she...she..."
"What's wrong with her mother?" Wei Ning'er asked in a trembling voice with an unknown premonition.
"Let's talk about it first!" Wei Xiuyun brought Wei Ning'er into the yard.
Wei Ning'er walked into Huang's dormitory with a familiarity, but found that there was no one inside. Her heart suddenly panicked: "Brother, where is the mother?"
Wei Xiuyun asked the servant beside him to take Yongxuan outside the yard, then looked at Wei Ning'er and said with a choking feeling: "Ning'er, mom... she passed away last year!"
"No...No, mom, she has always been healthy, how could she be? Brother, are you lying to me, right?" Wei Ning'er shook her head in disbelief, and tears burst out from her eyes.
"Ning'er, I didn't lie to you!" Wei Xiuyun shook his head with red eyes.
"No, mom... mom..." Wei Ning'er's heart was as if she was shattered. She never expected such a thing to happen. She would never see mom.
"Five years ago... the news that you disappeared was blocked by the emperor. The emperor also sent someone to live in the palace on your behalf, looking for you secretly. This is not a secret among the royal family. Gradually, my mother and I also heard the wind. My mother went to Fucha Mansion to ask Lord Fu Heng. After returning, she became seriously ill and became more and more dazed. She always called your name every day and said that she was sorry for you... and she hurt you." Wei Xiuyun's words were full of sobs and could no longer say anything.
"Um..." Wei Ning'er was about to faint.
"Ning'er, my mother woke up for a few days before she died, and left you a letter!" Wei Xiuyun took out a wooden box from the cabinet beside her, carefully opened it and took out the letter, and said with a serious look: "My mother asked me to swear that no one except you are 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 my mother was so careful that she even wanted to hide it.
Wei Ning'er took the letter with trembling hands, and after a while, she opened it apart. She recognized it at a glance. This was the handwriting of her mother Huang. These pages were the last thing left to her by her mother. Wei Ning'er sobbed in a low voice, looking at the contents in the letter carefully, her face getting paler and paler.
