Seneja had to say this, after all, she had been running around like crazy these past two days, all for this very reason! Fortunately, she had only been running around like crazy, without taking any real action.

Several girls from different tribes actually dared to volunteer, and last night they were given a sarcastic rebuke by that person.

Without even thinking, Baoli replied, "She still wants to fly to the sky? Does she even have the ability?" Only after saying that did he realize that his daughter-in-law was still there, so he coughed and explained, "What I mean is to tell her to give up that idea. The Harigana matter can't even be resolved, why is she getting involved?"

Saenja rolled her eyes at her husband. She wondered when he would ever get rid of this impulsiveness. He was over forty years old, and he really didn't have any self-control.

Emperor Kangxi was having a drink with the Empress Dowager and the envoys from Khorchin when Li Dequan heard about Harigana's affairs and wanted to go in to report.

But Su Ma La Gu, who was standing next to him, grabbed him and said, "The Empress Dowager is in a good mood right now, so it's best not to disturb her."

Li Dequan's face was grim. If he didn't speak up, the emperor would surely kill him when he found out.

"Aunt Su Ma, this—"

As Li Dequan spoke, he tried to free his arm from Su Ma La Gu's grasp, but Su Ma was old and he dared not use too much force, and for a moment the two were locked in a stalemate.

"You wait here! I'll take the imperial physician over to take a look! If it's serious, then we'll call the Emperor; but if it's not serious, we should prioritize the Empress Dowager's feelings."

Without waiting for Li Dequan's agreement, Su Mala Gu turned and left!

After hesitating for a while, Li Dequan decided to tell the Emperor about it. To keep quiet about something, to put it nicely, was to be filial to the Empress Dowager; to put it bluntly, it was deceiving the Emperor.

Sumalagu had the Empress Dowager backing her up, but Sumalagu had the Emperor, the ruler of a nation, behind him. What kind of person would he be if he didn't side with his master and listened to an old servant?

When Kangxi saw Li Dequan enter, he wanted to ask him what was wrong, but the Empress Dowager seemed to be doing it on purpose, holding his hand and talking nonstop.

“Xuan Ye! You’ve grown up now, and Bao Cheng and the others are big kids too! Even if your grandmother were to close her eyes now, she could stand up straight and talk to the ancestors of the Aisin Gioro clan!”

This interruption made Kangxi forget about Li Dequan's matter, and he quickly comforted the Empress Dowager. Although Li Dequan was anxious, he was no longer as worried as before.

At least, it wasn't that he didn't want to report it, but that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager wouldn't give him the chance!

After much coaxing and persuasion from Emperor Kangxi, the Empress Dowager's agitated emotions gradually calmed down.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Dequan quickly stepped forward and whispered in Kangxi's ear that he had told him everything about Harigana, including Sumalagu's recent actions, without hiding anything from him.

"When did this happen? You lackey, why are you only telling me now!"

Kangxi's expression was not good. He immediately stood up, looked at the Empress Dowager and nodded slightly, saying, "Grandmother, I still have some matters to attend to. Please don't worry about it. Let Wenduer and the others accompany you! I will take my leave now!"

The Empress Dowager, unaware of what was happening outside, assumed it was a matter of state and dared not delay: "Go quickly! Don't worry about me here, with Wenduer and the others here, you go and do your work!"

Emperor Kangxi hesitated, wanting to explain to the Empress Dowager that it was because of the Harigana incident, but he swallowed his words.

He thought to himself that his grandmother might be unhappy if she knew he wanted to go to Harigana, so the later she found out, the less angry she would be.

"Grandson takes his leave!"

"Respectfully seeing off His Majesty!"

Kangxi bowed to the Empress Dowager, and Wenduer and the others quickly stood up, stepped aside, and knelt on the ground to see him off.

Li Dequan was inwardly amazed. Fortunately, he made the right choice; otherwise, the emperor would have definitely made him clean the chamber pots.

"How is he?"

After leaving the Empress Dowager's tent, Kangxi hurriedly headed towards Harigana's tent.

"emperor!"

The guard appeared and said, "Her Highness the Princess is still unconscious, but the shaman has already gone to check on her."

Just as the guard finished speaking, Su Ma La Gu appeared not far from the tent. Kangxi suppressed his anger, but seeing how old Su Ma La Gu looked, he couldn't bring himself to be harsh.

"Your Majesty! This servant just came from the Second Princess's place. She has regained consciousness, so please do not worry! Moreover, the imperial physician took her pulse and said that the princess only needs to rest."

Su Mala Gu's handling of this matter did indeed seem to be a bit like taking advantage of her age, as if she was relying on the fact that Emperor Kangxi wouldn't punish her.

But even if the Empress Dowager really angered the Emperor, she would not regret what she wanted to do.

The Emperor has come all this way to be with the Empress Dowager, and there are so many people from Khorchin here. If the Emperor were to leave all of them because of a mere woman from Borchijin, what would become of the Empress Dowager's dignity?

Kangxi looked into Su Ma La Gu's eyes, but there was no emotion in them. If he was angry just now, he was sad now.

It turns out that no matter how much people care about him, when faced with a choice between two people, they all subconsciously choose the person who is most important to them.

Sumalagu felt a pang of sadness seeing the look in Kangxi's eyes, but everyone's pursuits were different. No matter how good she was to Xuan Ye, she could never forget that she was a Khorchin, and belonged to the Empress Dowager.

"I still have state affairs to attend to, so I'll return to my camp now!"

Kangxi's voice was deep, and he turned and walked towards the imperial tent.

Li Dequan shook his head inwardly. Why were the Empress Dowager and her servant doing this?

Not only are they getting old, but their married daughters are also devoted to their maternal families. However, the Emperor has already made concessions time and again. Why do this and erode the Emperor's feelings for them?

"This servant respectfully sees His Majesty off!"

Sumalagu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the Emperor didn't go to see the Second Princess. No one would tell the Empress Dowager about this; Kangxi's earlier statement that he needed to return to handle state affairs meant exactly that.

Sitting at his desk, Kangxi rubbed his temples. That evening, the Empress Dowager showered him with praise, saying that if he entered the palace, she would have more people from her hometown around her, and she wouldn't feel bored even in the palace. This truly exhausted Kangxi.

Don't they even look at those women? It's no exaggeration to say they're more robust than the average Han Chinese man. Those girls, who are clearly pretty, have been trained into huge burly men.
