It’s so late, is someone coming from Prince Duan’s mansion
Mrs. Wei was stunned for a moment, then she immediately raised her voice and said, "Please go to Bi Yuxuan in front!"
She went back to change her clothes before taking Wei An to Bi Yuxuan.
As soon as they reached the corridor, Mrs. Wei winked at Wei An and said, "Go to the side hall next door and wait. I'll ask first."
First, let's ask why we came to Prince Duan's Mansion.
Lights were lit everywhere, and from afar one could see the servants of Prince Duan's Mansion holding lanterns, lighting up the entire corridor like a fire dragon spitting flames, ready to swallow people up at any time with its mouth wide open.
Wei An nodded, coughed, and led Nanny Wang and Lan He and the others quickly around the corner into another corridor, where they sat down in the side hall and waited for news.
The side hall was very quiet, so quiet that one could hear the rustling of the wind outside. The shadows of the trees were reflected on the window. Madam Wang listened carefully and turned to look at Wei An, saying softly, "Miss, can you hear someone talking over there..."
The Wei family's mansion is an old house from the previous dynasty, which was later bestowed by the previous emperor. It has been a hundred years. Even if it is well maintained on a daily basis, there are inevitably some places that are overlooked.
I think it was for this reason that Mrs. Wei chose Bi Yuxuan on purpose.
Wei An walked forward, sat on a chair against the wall, and gently gestured to Nanny Wang and others.
On the other side of the wall, after the visitor from the palace had paid his respects, Old Madam Wei politely asked, "It's so late, I wonder if the princess has anything important to tell you?"
The one who came was the old nanny beside Princess Duan. She had dealt with Old Madam Wei and Wei An many times before. She used to act like a person from the palace, but this time she lost all her airs. She hurriedly bowed to Old Madam Wei and begged her in a tearful voice, "Old Madam, please save me!"
Old Madam Wei was startled by her and quickly winked at Aunt Hua. After Aunt Hua helped the man up, she asked carefully, "I don't understand what you said, Aunt. The princess is a daughter of gold, and you are an old man by her side. What do you need from me?"
The old lady really cried: "To be honest, our princess is in trouble..."
She wiped her tears and breathed a sigh of annoyance, and told Mrs. Wei everything in detail: "Our princess has been coming to the palace often to talk with the queen recently..."
Old Madam Wei knew this. After Princess Duan's face healed, she liked to go out and walk. When she was young, a fortune teller told her that she would meet a lucky star in the future. The legend of good fortune after bad luck was widely spread and everyone knew it. Empress Fang liked this story and thought Princess Duan was a lucky person, so she often summoned her to the palace to chat with her.
The old lady's voice was trembling: "Our queen accompanied the queen to the Imperial Garden to appreciate the plum blossoms today. Who knew that the weather was cold and the roads were slippery, and our queen accidentally... accidentally failed to protect the queen, and the queen slipped in the snow. The imperial physician said that she had a miscarriage..."
No wonder Princess Duan was so frightened that she sent someone to the Wei family overnight.
Empress Fang is the apple of Emperor Longqing's eye, and now she is pregnant with his child. It is not excessive to say how precious she is.
Besides, this matter could be a big or small one. If someone with ulterior motives accuses you of a crime, you're done for.
Old Madam Wei frowned and said, "In that case, please ask the imperial physician to take good care of her. Why did Madam come to our house and ask for help?"
The old nanny straightened up quickly: "Our princess would like to ask Miss Seven to accompany her to the palace..."
Princess Duan was terrified when something happened to her. When the imperial physician gave the conclusion that she had a miscarriage, she was even more timid. After thinking about it again and again, she felt that Wei Qi was actually a lucky star, and must be blessed.
At this point, he was desperate and even thought of letting Wei Qi enter the palace.
No matter what, no matter whether it is useful or not, it is good to have peace of mind.
Old Madam Wei raised her eyebrows: "How can this be possible? The Queen's miscarriage is no small matter. A seven-year-old girl is too young to be in the spotlight..."
But in his heart, he had already vaguely guessed the King of Chu's purpose.
Perhaps they wanted Wei An to enter the palace to accompany Queen Fang. If Queen Fang lost her pregnancy, even if Wei An escaped being held accountable by luck, his reputation as a lucky star would be ruined.
Everyone in the capital thinks that she is a fraud.
What's more, the King of Chu would definitely blame Wei An for Queen Fang's miscarriage.
She refused without hesitation: "Besides, the Queen has a miscarriage and must rest... She is a child and it is really not appropriate for her to enter the palace to accompany the Emperor."
There was a gust of cold wind outside, and the old nanny's voice was like falling snow, sending chills down one's spine: "This is also what the Queen meant..."
In order to make up for her mistake, Princess Duan told Queen Fang early in the morning.
Queen Fang naturally agreed.
Old Mrs. Wei didn't speak for a long time.
The old lady knelt on the ground: "Miss Seven is a lucky star, and she will be blessed by God... If this is accomplished, Miss Seven will also have endless benefits..."
Queen Fang had already given the order, and Princess Duan was just here to inform them. There was no point in being angry at them. Old Madam Wei had a cold smile on her face, and after a while she nodded calmly: "Since it was the Queen who gave the order, there is no reason for us to disobey."
After Aunt Hua sent the people out, Old Madam Wei sighed to Wei An who had just come in: "Did you hear everything?"
She frowned and shook her head: "Why not go and tell Old Madam Fang?" She looked at Wei An: "No matter how capable you are, you can't use it in the palace. If they really want to do something to Queen Fang, what can you do?"
As long as they said without any evidence that she didn't deserve the title of lucky star, she would have no way to defend herself.
Besides, it is not that simple to think about it. How could those people let go of such a good opportunity easily
Aunt Hua had come in to reply. Old Madam Wei asked someone to tell the Third Madam to go to bed early. Then she helped Wei An stand up and walked out: "Given what happened with the Yang family before, the Fang family should give us this face. Let's tell them to remind Queen Fang to be careful..."
The lanterns hanging on both sides of the corridor swayed violently in the wind. Wei An supported Old Lady Wei's hand as they walked down the stairs and said to her softly, "Actually, they may not want to attack me from the Empress..."
Mrs. Wei looked back at her: "These things seem to be within your expectations?"
It was indeed expected. Wei An lowered his head with a smile: "Grandmother, it was not expected. It was probably because I was very familiar with the King of Chu, so I guessed their actions a little bit."
When Mrs. Wei heard her say that, she knew that she was definitely going to the palace. After a pause, she didn't say anything to stop her. She just patted the back of her hand and said, "In that case, you should be careful."
