Harigana didn't understand Kangxi's meaning at first, but she wasn't stupid. He was clearly talking about Haburi, so why would he say something that had nothing to do with her for no reason?

"Xuan Ye, no, no way!"

Harigana really didn't want to believe it was true!

It wasn't that she believed Habril, but rather that she couldn't accept the consequences if this were true.

Habril was only exiled; she was not expelled from the Borchijin tribe. If it is found that this matter is related, then that would be a real catastrophe.

Thinking of this, she looked at Kangxi nervously!

What kind of mess is this?! She'd just gotten a little bit of a lead on Kangxi, and now there's someone dragging her down!

What she truly couldn't understand was that dislike was simply dislike! Especially when a woman pursues a man, if the man doesn't like her, no matter what the woman does, it's all in vain, and might even annoy everyone.

Habur had already been rejected by Kangxi. Knowing that Kangxi didn't like her, she should have stayed quietly and obediently!

But she did something else entirely. Not only did she drug Kangxi, leaving him with no way out, but now she's actually running away regardless of the lives of her entire clan! Even if she's not familiar with the laws of the Qing Dynasty, she still knows about the punishment of nine generations of relatives!

"Jiaojiao, whether it's true or not, for your sake, for the sake of your tribe, your Egeqi cannot be left behind!"

Kangxi spoke with absolute certainty, leaving no room for negotiation. He also wanted to know Harigana's choice. It wasn't that he didn't trust her, but rather that he wanted to know if, after all that had happened, his beloved had truly matured.

Harigana was stunned for a moment. She really hadn't thought about killing Haburi, but now that the facts were clear, if it really was Haburi who did it, then this matter couldn't be kept secret at all.

Whether it's the Empress Dowager, the Tongjia clan, or even those on the grasslands who have been eyeing their Borchijin tribe for a long time, none of them will let them off easily.

"Xuan Ye, have you already discussed this with Abu and the others?"

Harigana did not express her thoughts, after all, that was her sister, and no matter what decision she made, Kangxi would be unhappy.

If I plead for leniency, he might feel he lacks foresight and thinks too simply. If I don't plead, he might feel cold-blooded.

So no matter what she said, she felt it was wrong, and thought it better to listen to their decision first before deciding how to answer.

Kangxi originally wanted to put pressure on Harigana, but considering that she was pregnant, he worried that if she said something harsh for the sake of the overall situation, the worries might become even more serious.

"Jiaojiao, you can just leave this matter alone." Kangxi couldn't bear to tell her the cruel truth. "Don't worry, no matter how this matter is ultimately handled, I will definitely tell you!"

Harigana opened his mouth, but in the end he just nodded.

Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief. He had feared that Harigana would press for answers, as the way things were handled would surely make her uncomfortable. But there was no other way; if they had chosen Habril, even more people might have died.

"Jiaojiao, your mother is very busy these days, so she might not be able to take care of you! Don't worry about it!"

Harigana nodded. She knew that Saenjiya and the others must have been extremely stressed during this time, and probably hadn't yet conducted the experiment according to her instructions. But that was fine too. Regardless of whether Habril's story was true or not, once Baoliri figured it out, he would definitely seize the time to conduct the experiment. Although he wouldn't receive the honorary reward, he could definitely make amends!

Thinking of this, Harigana's worries lessened.

"Xuan Ye, don't you think I'm a big problem?"

Harigana nervously clutched at Kangxi's collar, his eyes darting away, not daring to look at Kangxi.

Kangxi felt a pang of sadness. Was his beloved Jiaojiao afraid that he would abandon her? But how could that be?

Harigana was indeed a little uneasy. It wasn't that she was really worried that Kangxi would dislike her, but rather that she was afraid that this matter would affect her and her son, and that Kangxi would harbor resentment.

Don't call Harigana cold-blooded. Habu Ri never cared about their lives. At this point, Harigana's concern for her own future was perfectly understandable. Whether she was found by Baoli Ri or killed by Kangxi, it ultimately had nothing to do with her.

But she'll be living in the palace from now on, so she has to think about herself!

Kangxi was thinking about how to tell Harigana about his feelings, especially about the argument he had with the Empress Dowager a few days ago. He didn't want to keep it from Harigana anymore!

It wasn't that he wanted to use this incident to win over Harigana's heart, or to make Harigana reborn as Kuiju. He simply wanted Harigana to know his determination; he had gone to such lengths, so his darling no longer needed to be so careful!

Harigana had no idea what Kangxi was thinking. Already feeling uneasy, she felt her heart sink even further when she saw Kangxi's silent demeanor.

All the careful maintenance we've done has been completely ruined by Habrj!

By the time Kangxi was trying to figure out how to bring this up, Harigana's hand had already slowly loosened, and she was so dejected that Kangxi felt she was about to break!

Harigana was indeed very sad. She could dislike Kangxi, and Kangxi could not like her as much as before, but what about the child?

"Jiaojiao! What's wrong?"

Kangxi reached out to hug Harigana, but the little girl who had been sitting in his lap pushed him away and lay back on the bed, reaching out to bury herself in the blankets.

Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Harigana's emotions came on very quickly. In just a short while, her face was covered in tears, and her body was trembling. She looked so pitiful.

"Jiaojiao! What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Li Dequan, go and call the imperial physician!"

At this moment, Kangxi could not care about anything else. After shouting, he carefully picked up the person.

Harigana let him do as he pleased, watching Kangxi with his eyes closed, but tears kept flowing from the corners of his eyes.

"Jiaojiao, say something! If you don't want anything to happen to your father, then I'll listen to you, okay? Don't cry, don't make me worry!"

Although Harigana was saddened, she did not lose her composure. Only after hearing Kangxi say that he would spare Habur did she open her eyes and look at him.

"Am I really that incapable of distinguishing right from wrong, and a woman without a sense of the bigger picture in your eyes?"

As Harigana spoke, tears continued to fall. Kangxi hurriedly tried to wipe them away, but no matter how he wiped, the tears just wouldn't stop flowing.

This truly stumped Kangxi. If it wasn't about Habril, then why was Harigana crying so bitterly? They were just having a good chat a moment ago, how did it suddenly turn out like this?
