Inside the room, Mingxiu let Kangxi pull her to sit on the couch, looking at him with an expression of adoration.

When Kangxi looked down, he saw this scene. At first, he thought she was frightened, so he hugged Mingxiu and comforted her, "Did I scare you? It's alright now."

To everyone's surprise, Mingxiu shook her head, her eyes shining as she looked at Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty was so amazing today! I love Your Majesty so much." As she spoke, Mingxiu even moved her foot, mimicking the way Kangxi had kicked someone two meters away with a single kick that day.

Kangxi looked at Mingxiu with amusement: "Why did you only realize you like me today? Haven't you always liked me?"

Mingxiu grinned and placed her head on Kangxi's chest, tilting her little face up and showing her big teeth as she said, "Your Majesty, I have always liked you very much, but today I am even more impressed by your bravery."

Emperor Kangxi couldn't help but chuckle at Mingxiu's words. He shook his head and helplessly tapped Mingxiu's forehead with his finger: "You shameless person, how can you say such things so casually?"

Mingxiu snorted and sat directly in Kangxi's arms, hooking her arms around his neck: "What, does Your Majesty not like my appearance?" As she spoke, she gave Kangxi a flirtatious wink.

Kangxi glanced at her helplessly and grabbed Mingxiu's hand, which had somehow ended up on his back.

"Of course I like it! I just don't know if my beloved consort has any other way of showing it besides words."

Mingxiu paused for a moment, then tilted her head and nuzzled against Kangxi's face, preparing to kiss his cheek. But just as Mingxiu touched Kangxi's cheek, Kangxi jerked his head and kissed her on the lips, grazing her cheek.

Before Mingxiu could react, Kangxi pressed her head down and deepened the kiss.

"Waaah!" Mingxiu struggled to breathe, patting Kangxi's shoulder in protest.

When Kangxi finally released her, Mingxiu's face was flushed, she opened her mouth wide and gasped for breath, her lips were red and luscious from the friction.

Kangxi felt his chest churning at the sight before him. Before Mingxiu could recover, he picked her up and carried her into the bathroom.

Soon, the sounds of a woman's moans and a man's low groans could be heard coming from inside the room.

The next day, the weather was sunny.

Sunlight streamed in through the window. The woman, who had been sleeping soundly in bed, pouted in annoyance, rolled over, and pressed herself against the wall as she fell asleep.

When Kangxi entered, this was the scene he saw. Somewhat helplessly, he lifted the curtain and went in. Looking at Mingxiu, who was wrapped up like a sleeping bag, he reached out, pinched a corner of the blanket, and gently pulled it. He saw that the person who had been sleeping against the wall had turned over.

Mingxiu looked at the scene in a daze, somewhat annoyed at what Kangxi was doing.

Kangxi paused for a moment and then said, "Get up quickly, what time is it? Why aren't you up yet?"

Mingxiu looked at Kangxi with both eyes and moved her still sore body.

Seeing Mingxiu's expression, Kangxi coughed awkwardly twice. He had indeed been a bit impulsive last night and had gone a little too far.

Feeling guilty, she touched her nose and looked at Mingxiu: "Then it's time to get up. Don't you want to know how to deal with what happened yesterday?"

What happened yesterday?

Mingxiu tilted her head back and thought for a while before realizing that it was about the incident of a woman being forcibly taken from a villager that they had encountered yesterday.

"Wasn't yesterday's matter already resolved?" Mingxiu asked Kangxi with a puzzled look.

Kangxi looked at Mingxiu speechlessly, saying that she was stupid but she wouldn't admit it.

Kangxi didn't say anything, just waited for Mingxiu to get up. After she finished getting ready, Mingxiu looked at the guards standing in the hall and realized, "Oh, I don't think they said how to deal with this yesterday."

But this was only what she could hear, and Mingxiu looked at Kangxi with a puzzled expression.

Kangxi shook his head, gesturing for Mingxiu to wait in the back.

He said he could hear, so naturally he could only hear. Besides, it wasn't a big deal; it was just the son of a county magistrate abusing his position to do evil.

Mingxiu wasn't originally needed behind them, but Yu Chenglin came over as well.

After making arrangements for Mingxiu, Kangxi went straight out.

When Yu Chenglin and the others outside saw Kangxi come out, they quickly bowed.

Kangxi glanced at the person and asked, "How did yesterday's matter go?"

Yu Chenglin replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, this was collected by your humble servants yesterday. Liang Jiuheng has been bullying men and women for a long time, relying on his father Liang Tianqing's power. These are all victims from before."

As he spoke, he handed over what he was holding, and Liang Jiugong took it and passed it to Kangxi.

Kangxi glanced at Yu Chenglin but said nothing. He then took the things from Liang Jiugong's hands and began to look at them.

The room fell silent for a moment. Mingxiu, sitting behind the screen, quietly held her breath and nervously watched what Kangxi was holding.

I don't even know what I'm so nervous about.

Then Kangxi slammed his hand on the table and threw the memorial in his hand to the ground.

"How dare the son of a mere county magistrate be so arrogant and disregard the imperial court? Yu Chenglin, he's committing all sorts of evil deeds here, and none of you officials have noticed?"

Kangxi glared angrily at Yu Chenglin.

Yu Chenglin quickly knelt down and said, "It is all my fault. I had heard about it before and questioned Liang Tianqing, but he fobbed me off. I failed to investigate thoroughly. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Mingxiu, sitting in the back, was startled.

Kangxi closed his eyes to calm himself down and said, "Alright, this matter has nothing to do with you in the end. It was originally the magistrate's responsibility. Liang Jiuheng and Liang Tianqing will be imprisoned for now and dealt with later. You may leave now."

“Yes, but since Your Majesty has come, I’m sure everyone below is eager to see you. I wonder if Your Majesty would like to see them?” Yu Chenglin said softly.

"Let's do it in a couple of days. You can arrange it as you see fit," Kangxi said after considering it for a moment.

"Yes, then this humble subject will take his leave." After saying this, Yu Chenglin withdrew.

After everyone was out of the house, Mingxiu came out from the back.

She looked at Kangxi with some doubt: "Your Majesty, is this what you wanted me to see? Why don't you deal with those two people directly instead of waiting?"

Kangxi glanced at Mingxiu and then asked her to sit down before speaking: "I still have a use for him. I originally asked you to come here today so that you could handle him directly, but I suddenly had a different idea, so I'll put it aside for now."

Mingxiu nodded, indicating her understanding.

It's just that the big boss suddenly changed the plan, I totally understand.
