If memories served right, Zhao Zhang was Noble Consort Ning’s son.
Was the Emperor’s mind blinded by love, letting go of the perfect from head to toe legitimate son, and insisting on backing up the illegitimate one?
Wei Luo had a few words of silent critique in her mind, the secrets of the royal family were too many and too complex, she couldn’t possibly grasp it all in such a short time. In any case, as far as she could remember, Zhao Jie would later become someone, who would overturn all levels of society.

After sending off Zhao Jie, Wei Kun took Wei Luo along to return to Pine courtyard.
As for Ginkgo courtyard, it was still restless. Madam Du couldn’t see Wei Kun, so she thought of a method and got in touch with the third madam Liu. Weeping loudly, she poured out her great sufferings in front of Madam Liu, then asked her to go to Pine courtyard and persuade Wei Kun to bring her back, as she couldn’t go on living in this place anymore.
Wei Kun flung his sleeves and remained unmoved: “If she can’t go on living there, then let her return to Count Zhongyi’s residence!”
Returning to the maternal home divorced and pregnant, how big of a disgrace was that? What would other people think? They would certainly assume Madam Du had had an affair with someone, that the child wasn’t Wei Kun’s, so Wei Kun couldn’t put up with her. At that time, not only would Madam Du’s reputation sweep the floor, the rest of the young ladies in Count Zhongyi’s residence wouldn’t be able to marry.
