"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

Harigana looked at the unconscious Kangxi and helplessly tried to stand up, but unexpectedly her hand was grabbed!

He subconsciously looked down and saw that Kangxi had already regained consciousness.

"Xuan Ye!"

Harigana had never wished for Kangxi's well-being as much as she did at this moment; she had just been prepared to die!

We want the power of the palace!

She suddenly had this idea.

After all, with palace power, she would be protected if she wanted to confront the Empress Dowager and others in the future!

"Jiaojiao!"

Kangxi tried to sit up, but he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to hold Harigana's hand.

"You're finally awake! You scared me to death!"

Harigana, with her pregnant belly, wanted to hug Kangxi, but her belly prevented her from doing so.

Li Dequan, with his keen insight, went up to help Kangxi up, and then led the beaming Dulan out to wait.

As for what's happening outside, the Emperor has already woken up, so even if the Empress Dowager really breaks down the door, they won't be afraid!

Holding the person in his arms, Kangxi finally felt at ease.

Although he has been in a coma for the past two days, he can still occasionally hear clearly the people and things around him, as well as what they are saying.

"Jiaojiao, you've had a hard time these past two days!"

Harigana shook his head, too excited to speak, which made Emperor Kangxi feel a pang of heartache.

"Xuan Ye, I... I forged an imperial edict! You... you'll take my life!"

Emperor Kangxi felt heartbroken looking at the woman who looked so wronged.

"Jiaojiao did a great job, I don't blame you! Don't be afraid, okay!"

Harigana could no longer hold back her tears, which fell in a continuous stream, soaking Kangxi's clothes!

He was still very weak, and he got tired after just a short while.

"Xuan Ye, you lie down first. I'll have Li Dequan bring the Empress Dowager in!"

Harigana hiccuped, and hearing the noise outside, quickly pulled away from his embrace.

Kangxi's eyes were unfathomable, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

"Li Dequan, go open the door!"

Her voice was a little weak, but it was much better than before.

While Li Dequan was out, Harigana poured Kangxi a glass of water to moisten his throat.

Outside the gate, the Imperial Guards were at a loss for what to do, with the Emperor on one side and the Empress Dowager on the other.

The emperor's decree could not be disobeyed, but the Empress Dowager was pressing them relentlessly, insisting on personally opening that door, and they couldn't really do anything about it.

Just as they were about to reach out and stop the Empress Dowager, the gate opened.

"This servant greets the Empress Dowager!"

Li Dequan's voice was like heavenly music, and the guards were almost overjoyed to tears. They quickly stepped aside, figuring that since it was the emperor's personal eunuch, the emperor must have some new instructions.

"Open the door! I want to see what the Emperor is up to!"

At this time, the Empress Dowager was determined to take advantage of this opportunity to give birth to Harigana. Now that the child had not yet been born, the Emperor was already disregarding the affairs of state. If the child was born, wouldn't she be in charge of the entire Qing Dynasty in the future?

Moreover, she felt that something was amiss this time. As the Empress Dowager of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor's grandmother, she should know the truth and could not allow Xuan Ye to continue his reckless behavior.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, his face filled with solemnity.

Looking at the Empress Dowager, Li Dequan thought to himself: As expected of a woman who has served three emperors, she can be quite intimidating when she is serious!

"Yes! His Majesty has instructed this servant to invite the Empress Dowager in!"

Bumbutai's heart skipped a beat. Could she have guessed wrong?

Li Dequan just said that Xuan Ye invited her in, which means that the person lying on the bed now is really that woman from the Borchijin tribe.

However, she trusted her intuition, which had never been wrong over the years.

"Xuan Ye, should I admit my mistake first?"

Harigana held Kangxi's hand tightly and told him everything that had happened in the past two days while he was drinking water, including what he had said to Sumalagu yesterday morning.

After speaking, he glanced guiltily at Kangxi, then lowered his head and dared not utter a sound.

"Oh!"

Emperor Kangxi never expected that this little woman he loved would save his life at crucial moments and even take the opportunity to retaliate.

He's not stupid. If he couldn't tell that while most of what she said about Su Ma La Gu yesterday was mimicking his tone, a good half of it reflected her own thoughts.

She rarely had the chance to speak ill of her grandmother, so she took advantage of her unconscious state to retaliate.

Although Harigana knew he wouldn't be angry, she immediately burst into tears with red eyes after hearing him chuckle dryly.

There was no crying, only his shoulders trembling, and his fingers were already clenched so tightly they turned white.

"Jiaojiao!"

"I was wrong! I won't do it again!"

The voices of Kangxi and Harigana rang out simultaneously.

Before Kangxi could speak again, Harigana stood up and walked out.

"Jiaojiao, where are you going?"

Kangxi was anxious, but fortunately he managed to grab her hand.

"I will go to greet the Empress Dowager and apologize to her. I will accept any punishment or beating she may impose. Xuan Ye, please do not make things difficult for me!"

Harigana's voice was very soft. Although Kangxi could not see her expression, he could still hear her trembling and fear.

"Jiaojiao, come back! When did I say I was in a difficult situation? Come back!"

"Didn't I tell you? You've done a great job these past few days!" He then pulled her hand and continued, "Sit down quickly, we can talk about this later. I'll back you up now, okay?"

Harigana didn't dawdle. She turned her head and looked at him with bright eyes, then slowly sat down next to him with her pregnant belly sticking out.

"Xuan Ye, I love you just the way you are!"

Kangxi reached out and pulled the person into his arms without saying a word, but he looked at Harigana with great affection.

It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but rather that he was mentally calculating how to deal with the Empress Dowager.

Regardless of whether Harigana falsely conveyed the imperial edict or not, if the matter of her coming to storm the palace gates today and trying to force her way into Qingxi Palace is not resolved properly, Harigana will completely lose face in the future.

Even if he wanted to crown her empress in the future, some people would still bring this up. He needed to find a way to ensure that Harigana's reputation was not tarnished in the slightest.

Moreover, he could also guess why Harigana did not immediately summon the Empress Dowager, and even kept it from her as well.

Looking at this petite woman, he felt a mixture of pride and shame. The young girl was finally capable of standing on her own, becoming his right-hand woman!

When the Empress Dowager entered, she saw the two of them being very affectionate!

She was so angry she almost fainted.
