Wei Yaer couldn't bear to leave her son behind. After thinking for a while, she said, "Ali, go take him with you. Let's go together."
"Okay, then, Auntie, please go to the west corner gate and wait for me. I have already sent the maid away."
After Ali left, Wei Yaer packed her bags and went to the west corner gate of the backyard to wait. She tried her best to avoid people along the way, but when she was about to reach the west corner gate, she still bumped into someone.
"Aunt Wei? Where are you going?"
Shen Nian staggered after being bumped into, and when he saw the bundle behind Wei Yaer, he immediately frowned and asked.
Soon she thought of what the maid had just reported, and her eyes sharpened: "You want to escape?"
Wei Yaer subconsciously glanced around and saw that there was only Chen Nian and her personal maid, and no one else. Her hand quietly touched her waist and she said, "Sixth Miss, you misunderstood. I just..."
Next second.
She raised her hand.
The powder was sprinkled directly at Shen Nian, and Shen Nian fainted in the blink of an eye. However, the little maid standing behind Shen Nian was smart. When she saw this situation, she ran away...
Wei Yaer had no time to chase after him.
She hurried to the west corner gate, ready to wait for Ali to bring Xuan Ge'er, but not long after she arrived at the west corner gate, she saw the little maid who had just run away chasing after her with her maidservant.
"Hurry, that concubine Wei wants to escape and has knocked the Sixth Miss unconscious. We have to catch her quickly." The little maid's voice came from afar.
Wei Yaer's face changed drastically.
Ever since the last birthday banquet for Old Lady Shen, she had been forced to become a slave concubine of the Shen family. If she were caught now, she would definitely be among those who would be implicated when the Shen family was raided and beheaded.
“Damn it!”
Wei Yaer finally escaped on her own.
When Ah Li brought Xuan Ge'er to the west corner gate, he heard the old woman guarding the west corner gate spitting in a loud voice: "That concubine Wei is really a piece of shit. She didn't even want her own son and ran away for her own life."
"Oh! How can a woman who is given to others as a concubine be a good thing? She gave birth to a son just to use it as an opportunity to ascend to the throne. Now that she knows something happened at home, any son would become a burden. How could she take him away? Not to mention that the young master was burned into such a horrible state, he would have been useless long ago."
"What little prince? He's just a concubine."
"Madam is such a kind person. She always treated him like her own son and did so much for him, but in the end, she was plotted against like that. I heard that the concubine even lied and gave false testimony. She is not a good person at such a young age. She deserves to be abandoned by her own mother..."
The two old women spat and talked.
Corner.
The half of Xuan Ge'er's face that was intact was extremely pale.
His mother... abandoned him?
Ah Li's face turned pale as he said, "Why did Aunt Wei leave? All my jewelry and money are with her. She clearly said that as long as I bring you, young master, here, she will take me with her. How could she leave alone..."
Xuan Ge'er's body trembled slightly.
Tears welled up in his eyes, and a lot of emotions were vaguely welling up, including hesitation, fear, terror, and resentment...
"Young master, I know a dog hole. How about we go out through that dog hole? Maybe the aunt is still waiting for us outside!" Ali pulled Xuan Ge'er to a hidden dog hole.
He went out through the dog hole.
No one noticed that after they got out, a sneaky figure also arrived in front of the dog hole...
The imperial palace.
In the imperial study.
Emperor Wenyuan's gaze fell on the man in black brocade robe standing beside the empress dowager.
