Listening to Winter Yinyin's cries, Zhao Ning's mind became clearer and clearer. Not many people knew that Autumn Yinyin and Winter Yinyin had arrived at the prince's residence. She believed that after she left, Mo Rongyi would seal the news even more. Otherwise, he would not have sent them away, and he would not have given Winter Yinyin the medicine. He would not have allowed Winter Yinyin to bear his child.
The two women said that Mo Rongyi had sent people to Nanyue to pick them up. Now, looking at Mo Rongyi's actions, it was obviously not him. In fact, she had thought about it carefully these past few days. They said that Wangye had sent people to pick them up. This matter was clearly strange.
If Mo Rongyi really wanted them to come to the capital, he would have brought them when he returned. He wouldn't have sent people to pick them up after a few months. Moreover, he wouldn't have done this without telling her. That would be slapping her face in front of all the servants in the fu. Even if he didn't like her, he couldn't have done such a thing. Someone had gone behind his back to pick them up.
Who was the mastermind behind all of this? If she guessed correctly, the person who had gone to pick up Autumn and Winter was the person who had asked Winter to come to the Zhuangzi to beg her.
Zhao Ning thought about all the people around her, but she couldn't think of anyone who would do such a thing. To be able to understand her and Mo Rongyi so well, it should be someone in the Wangfu.
"Wangfei." Zi Juan saw that Zhao Ning was in a daze and thought that she was too sad. She worriedly called out to her.
"I'm fine." Zhao Ning said lightly. Her eyes looked at Winter, who was still kowtowing and begging her. "Get up first."
Zi Juan heard that Zhao Ning's tone was a little soft. She thought that she wanted to make Winter stay.
"Thank you, Wangfei." Winter's face lit up. She knew that it was the right decision to come to beg Wangfei.
Zhao Ning looked at her indifferently. "I have something to ask you. You'd better answer truthfully. Don't hide anything."
Winter immediately said, "Wangfei, as long as this servant knows, this servant will not dare to hide anything."
She had nothing to hide now. She only wanted to give birth to the child in her belly. Even if the child was not the legitimate son of the Prince, he would at least have a noble identity. He did not need to be like her. Therefore, as long as she could live, she was willing to do anything. She was different from Yinqiu. Yinqiu's heart was too big, so she died very quickly.
"You said that it was His Highness who sent someone to bring you to the capital?" Zhao Ning asked calmly. "Do you still remember what that person looked like?"
Since Winter Song was pregnant with Mo Rongyi's child and had endured it until now, she was obviously not a fool. When she was driven out of the Prince's Mansion by Mo Rongyi, she knew that it was not Prince Rongyi who had sent someone to pick them up. As for the person who had brought them to the capital, she really had no idea.
"Princess, the man only said that he was sent by His Highness. He didn't say anything else. He brought them to the capital and we haven't seen him since," Winter Song said in a low voice.
Zhao Ning raised her eyebrows slightly. "What did that person look like?"
Winter Song thought about it carefully and realized that her impression of that person was very faint. Not to mention that he was a man of few words, he didn't seem to have any special characteristics. If he stood in a crowd, she would not be able to recognize him. "Replying to Princess, that person is about twenty-four or twenty-five years old. He looks … very ordinary. His eyes are not big or small, his skin is a little dark, and he doesn't like to talk much. He said that he was someone by His Highness's side."
"There are many servants like him in the Prince's Mansion. If you say it like that, who would be able to recognize him?" Zi Juan asked in a bad mood.
Winter Song said helplessly, "He looks like this. If you want this servant to find him again, I'm afraid that it will take a lot of effort."
Zhao Ning actually believed Winter Song's words. If it were her, she would definitely find someone with an ordinary appearance to do this. It would be the easiest to believe that they would not be easily recognized.
"You said that His Highness sent you away and even fed you drugs. How did you escape?" Zhao Ning asked again. "Could it be that the people that His Highness sent were not as good as you two women? How could you escape so easily?"
Winter Song said, "This servant originally thought that it was a dead end. We were taken out of the Prince's Mansion and sent away from the capital. We were locked in a small teahouse. Winter Song kept shouting and was taken out by someone with her mouth covered. Not long after, the teahouse caught fire. I took advantage of the chaos and ran out. I hid in the dark and heard someone saying that you can't let this servant find you. Otherwise, it will definitely spoil things. This servant heard them mention this place, so I came all the way here."
When Zhao Ning heard this, she was even more certain of her guess. Indeed, there was someone behind all of this. What was that person's purpose?
"Princess, this servant doesn't dare to have any extravagant hopes. However, this child belongs to His Highness. As long as this servant can safely give birth to the child, this servant doesn't want anything. This servant can return to Nanyue and never appear in front of you again." Winter Song knelt down again and said.
"Can you not see the child for the rest of your life?" Zhao Ning asked somewhat mockingly. She did not believe that Winter Song would not want anything after giving birth.
Winter Song's eyes were filled with tears, "This servant can do it."
A trace of a sneer appeared on Zhao Ning's lips. She ordered Zi Juan, "Take her away first. Let her eat something first."
"Princess?" Zi Juan looked at Zhao Ning in surprise. It can't be that she really wants to keep this woman, right?
"Go." Zhao Ning waved her hand. She didn't want to help this woman. Right now, only she could see the person who went to Nanyue to look for her. Only by keeping her alive would she be able to find out who wanted her and Mo Rongyi to become strangers.
Although Zi Juan was puzzled, she couldn't raise her doubts in front of outsiders. She could only take Winter Song away.
"Li Juan, send someone to the Prince's Mansion and invite His Highness to the Manor." Zhao Ning said, "Don't let anyone else in the Prince's Mansion know that I want to see His Highness."
"Yes, Princess." Li Juan replied in a low voice.
Zhao Ning's eyebrows were tightly knitted. She really couldn't figure out who was deliberately stirring up such a matter.
When Mo Rongyi, who was in the Prince's Mansion, heard that Zhao Ning wanted to see him, he was instantly overjoyed. Not long after he left, Zhu Shu appeared.
"His Highness, Autumn Song is dead, but Winter Song is missing. The people in the Manor sent news that Winter Song went to see Princess." Zhu Shu looked at Mo Rongyi nervously. Although he didn't directly mess up the matter, it was his subordinate who sent the two women out of the city. He was also responsible.
Mo Rongyi was completely shocked when he heard this. "What did you say?"
Zhu Shu knelt down. "His Highness, it's all this subordinate's fault. I didn't expect that Winter Song could actually escape from the hands of a few men …"
"What are the people in the Manor doing? How could they let Winter Song see Princess?" The veins on Mo Rongyi's forehead bulged. He thought that Zhao Ning was finally willing to listen to his explanation. It turned out that it wasn't like this. She knew that Winter Song was pregnant.
