Chapter 407: The Original Agreement

In the afternoon, Wei Ning'er took a short nap. After getting up, she wanted to see Yongxuan and Yonghuang. Unexpectedly, Bingruo walked up to her and handed her a jade hairpin, whispered: "Empress, this is sent by Empress Xin!"

"Pin Xin." Wei Ning'er was shocked when she heard this. It had been two years since Xin's confinement was ordered by the emperor and was almost forgotten by everyone. Now she is holding this jade hairpin to find her, which is indeed a bit strange.

Wei Ning'er naturally remembered that when she gave Xinpin the jade hairpin, she promised Xinpin that whenever she saw this hairpin in the future, she would do Xinpin a favor to repay her life-saving grace.

But why did Concubine Xin never ask her for her in two years, but now she comes to her? What's more, Wei Ning'er has not forgotten the real reason why Concubine Xin was confined.

Although Wei Ning'er didn't believe that Xinpin privately ordered people from Hangzhou to ask her and Yongxuan for their lives, this was learned from the emperor after all, and the emperor must have sent someone to investigate.

"Has the person sent by Concubine Xin left a word?" Wei Ning'er thought for a moment, then turned around and looked at Bingruo and asked.

"Princess Xin wants to see you, Empress, I hope you will go to Qinghetang!" Bingruo replied in a low voice.

Wei Ning'er looked at the jade hairpin in her hand and couldn't help but remember the situation when Concubine Xin saved her when she was desperate.

No matter how Xinpin treats her later,... if Xinpin had not been Xinpin, she would have died long ago with Yongxuan, who had not yet been born in her womb. She would have paid back this kindness, otherwise she would not have been at ease in her life.

"Bingruo, please go down and go to Qinghetang. I want to go to see Concubine Xin!" Wei Ning'er took a deep breath and ordered Bingruo beside her.

"Empress, the emperor said that Concubine Xin was unconscious and issued an order to let her rest. I am afraid there will be danger when you go there!" Bingruo said tremblingly.

After the emperor ordered Xin to rest in Qinghetang, everyone returned to the Forbidden City. Xin was left in the Old Summer Palace and no one cared about it. Even though the emperor led everyone to visit the Old Summer Palace, he never issued an order to let Xin leave the bedroom half a step, which showed that Xin had completely lost his favor.

Qinghetang was already like a cold palace. Bingruo had heard from the servants privately that there were only Aunt Huifang and Wu'er around Xin, and life was extremely sad. I heard that Xin Ping often had illnesses, which was extremely terrible.

"Let's go and have a look. I don't believe she is really crazy, otherwise I wouldn't have someone to send a hairpin!" Wei Ning'er said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Bingruo naturally did not dare to trample his master's intentions, so he had to ask Xiao Yizi to bring more people, and called a few guards from the inner court to come over, so he felt a little relieved.

When they arrived outside Qinghetang, everyone was immediately stopped by the guards guarding the palace gate. Xiao Yizi walked up and smiled and said, "We Concubine come to see Concubine Xin. I both want to open the palace gate and let us in!"

"This..." The two looked at each other and said with a look of distress: "I have reported to the Empress, no one can enter Qinghetang without the emperor's will!"

When Xiao Yizi heard this, her face changed. She was about to speak, but Wei Ning'er said impatiently: "Xiao Yizi, please send someone to ask the emperor for his decree!"

"Yes!" Xiao Yizi responded and immediately ordered the servants around him to go.

"The Imperial Concubine has sent someone to ask the Emperor for the decree. I believe you know that as long as it is our Emperor's request, the Emperor will be sure. Now that the Empress is pregnant, we can't let the sun shine like this!" Bingruo looked at the guards guarding the gate and said with a smile.

"Yes, please, Empress!" The two guards did not dare to stop them anymore, and immediately opened the gate of Qinghetang and let Wei Ning'er and his group enter.

Today, Qinghetang is no longer the same as before. The courtyard is overgrown with weeds, but no one takes care of it, and it looks particularly dilapidated everywhere.

Wei Ning'er slowly walked forward with the help of Bingruo and Qingyan, and saw Concubine Xin under the tree outside the hall.

At this time, she was sitting under the tree for embroidery. Her clothes had been washed a little white. Wei Ning'er even saw the patch on her cuff. It was already May and the weather was hot, but Xinpin was wearing spring clothes, which was a bit thick, and sweat couldn't stop coming out of her forehead.

Seeing her now in a embarrassing manner, Wei Ning'er sighed in her heart. Once the concubines in the palace were out of favor and were unable to go out after a long time, this was the situation. However, it was much easier than the cold palace. Although they were a little more miserable, no one came to bully them.

"Miss, you are in poor health, let me embroider!" Wu'er came out of the house and squatted down and smiled at Xinpin.

"No, this is for the Eighth Princess. I have to do it myself!" Xinpin raised his head and smiled, then saw Wei Ning'er and his group, and his smile froze on his face.

"Let the Imperial Concubine be blessed with great blessings!" After a while, Concubine Xin woke up and stood up from the ground with the help of Wu'er to salute Wei Ning'er.

Wei Ning'er looked at Xinpin. Although she was dressed simply and looked very embarrassed, her eyes were clear. This look seemed to be pleasing to the eye when she first saw her. It seemed that Xinpin had completely washed away the glitz since she entered the palace in the past two years and had returned to the natural state.

"Pin Xin is not a gift. I haven't seen you for many days. How good is Pin Xin's sister?" Wei Ning'er asked with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm very good, I'm a heavy person, please rest in the hall!" Xin Ping stepped forward and smiled.

Bingruo and others were afraid that Xin would hurt Wei Ning'er, so they saw her leaning over, and they all stood in front of Wei Ning'er with some vigilance.

"Don't be rude, help me in!" Wei Ning'er said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Bingruo responded softly and helped her to follow Xinpin in.

"You invite me to come, what's the matter?" After entering the hall, Wei Ning'er sat on the couch and asked with a smile.

"Empress, I didn't know the identity of the Empress, and accidentally saved the Empress and the Young Prince. After entering the palace, the emperor favored the Empress because he was kind to the Empress. It was because the Empress was confused and made mistakes again and again, which angered the Empress. But I swear that I asked the people from Hangzhou Prefecture to find your whereabouts, but I didn't want you to go back to the palace, but I didn't let someone kill you and the Young Prince." Xin Ping looked at Wei Ning'er and said word by word. She was full of uneasiness. She didn't know if Wei Ning'er would believe what she said.

"This matter was investigated by the emperor, and I don't know much about it." Wei Ning'er looked at her and said lightly.

"Empress, I really have never sent anyone to kill you. Please take a look!" Xin Ping said respectfully.

"You are here to come to me because you want me to go to the emperor to plead for you!" Wei Ning'er said with a smile.

"Yes, I wonder what the Empress said at the beginning can count?" Xin Ping asked cautiously.

"Of course, in order to repay your life-saving grace, I will ask the emperor to let you go, but... I will investigate the matters of Hangzhou Prefecture. If it is really what you do, I will not be ruthless at that time. I promised you what I asked today, and I will not owe you no more from now on!" Wei Ning'er looked at her and said in a deep voice.
