Harigana, recalling the unusual events of the previous night, gently shook Kangxi's hand and said, "Your Majesty, after I returned last night, I felt something was wrong. Later, I got sleepy and then fell into a deep sleep."

After hearing this, Kangxi had a guess in his mind. "Imperial Physician! Thoroughly examine the contents of the princess's tent!" After saying this, before anyone present could react, he picked up Harigana.

"Baoliri, I'm leaving this to you! Harigana, go and rest with me first!" He turned and left without giving anyone a chance to object.

Harigana shook her head desperately, but Kangxi's arms were tightly wrapped around her, and she was completely blocked by him, so no one else could see Harigana's refusal.

"emperor!"

Harigana's voice was soft and gentle, but he had barely uttered those two words when Kangxi said, "Listen to me, this place might not be safe! I want to see if that person dares to make a move on my territory!"

Senja watched helplessly as her daughter was taken away. Although she was somewhat prepared, she still felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

The imperial physicians acted swiftly, and in no time they found the sap of the wolfsbane flower on Harigana's pillow, and immediately went to report to the emperor.

"What audacity!"

Kangxi looked at the girl sleeping on his bed after taking the medicine, and felt a pang of heartache. Wolfsbane flower! If she had taken it, she would have died within two days.

The news that the Emperor had taken a girl from the Borchijin tribe spread like wildfire, reaching everyone's ears.

Su Ma La Gu looked at the Empress Dowager with a hesitant expression, unsure of how to address the matter, since the Empress Dowager's wishes might not be fulfilled!

"Auntie! The Emperor actually brought a girl home with him!"

Before Sumalagu could even begin to explain, the Empress Dowager lifted the curtain and entered, speaking as she did so.

Su Ma La Gu's heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked at the Empress Dowager and found that the old lady's face was unusually ugly. She thought to herself: Oh no!

"What did you say?"

The Empress Dowager asked the Empress Dowager, then turned to look at Sumalagu and asked, "Sumala, do you already know?"

Su Ma La Gu immediately knelt on the ground to beg for forgiveness, "Your Majesty, I only just found out myself. I was just about to report to you when Your Majesty came in! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The Empress Dowager covered her mouth, not daring to speak. The current situation seemed very inappropriate. Although she didn't know why, keeping quiet was always the best course of action!

"Ah! He really is Fulin's son!"

The Empress Dowager sneered, her dislike for Harigana growing even stronger.

In her mind, Emperor Kangxi wasn't the type to be so intimate with his concubines in broad daylight. It must have been that woman from Borchijin who seduced him, causing him to act so out of line!

"Summon Xuan Ye to me!"

The Empress Dowager said in a deep voice, showing no intention of asking for the reason. Whatever the reason, a woman who caused the Emperor to lose his composure in front of the Khorchin must absolutely not enter the palace.

Sumalagu tried to persuade her, but the Empress Dowager seemed to know what she was thinking and coldly said, "Don't forget who your master is!"

"Yes! This servant will go right away!"

Su Ma La Gu felt heartbroken, realizing that people who stay in high positions for too long can really forget what their true nature is.

She wasn't upset because the Empress Dowager said those things about her; she was just a servant, so it was understandable that she was being spoken to like that.

However, the Empress Dowager could not forget how she had struggled to survive in the palace at the beginning, and how she had gotten to where she was today!

Although she is now the Empress Dowager, there is still an emperor above her! She is just an Empress Dowager, a married woman from the Khorchin.

Bumbutai had truly forgotten those bitter days before. When Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, she ruled from behind the curtain. Later, her ambition remained undiminished, and she still wanted to control Kangxi.

Because of this, there was a rift between the grandfather and grandson. They had finally recovered in the past few years, but then they relapsed into their old habits.

"Auntie! Maybe I should go back first!"

Bumbutai waved her hand, having no hope whatsoever for this Empress Dowager.

Imperial tent!

Kangxi watched as Harigana vomited violently, unsure whether it was due to poisoning or the imperial physician's medicine. In any case, after a bout of nausea, he couldn't stop vomiting.

Dulan held the basin that Kangxi used to wash his face and caught Harigana's vomit. His hands were trembling and he couldn't keep them steady.

Dulan: Who would have thought that their princess would have the honor of vomiting in the emperor's washbasin? I guess there is no one like her before or after!

Kangxi wanted to step forward, but Harigana's words, "Don't come any closer," froze him in place.

This shout of "Turn away!" was delivered with all her might; the voice was loud and the warning was clear. However, Kangxi was not angry and obediently stood still, not daring to take another step.

He didn't expect the little rabbit to actually bite; it could get angry if pushed too far.

What's even funnier is that Kangxi felt that Harigana wasn't actually that averse to him. He had sneaked into her room twice and kissed her on the lips, but she hadn't shouted at him as loudly as she was now!

If Harigana knew what Kangxi was thinking, she would definitely say that Harigana was overthinking things. In her mind, he was an emperor who could take lives, and she was afraid of losing her head.

I understand the saying that serving a ruler is like serving a tiger, no matter when. And aren't the men of the Aisin Gioro clan most famous for loving someone to the point of wanting them to live and hating them to the point of wanting them to die?

Who knows when his affection might turn into hatred or disgust? If that happens, not only her life, but the entire Borchijin tribe could be in danger.

"Imperial Physician!"

The imperial physicians hadn't been driven away in the first place. Although he had taken medicine, the poison hadn't been neutralized, so they had been waiting outside the imperial tent. Upon hearing Kangxi's voice, they rushed in to take Harigana's pulse.

"Your Majesty! Congratulations! The princess's poison has been largely neutralized. After three more days of medication, she will be completely cured!"

Kangxi's face lit up with joy. Regardless of whether Harigana wanted him to come closer, he went over and wiped the stains from the corner of her mouth, gently coaxing her, "Harigana, did you hear me? You're alright now. You'll be fully recovered after a few more days of medicine. Don't be afraid!"

Harigana was completely exhausted and knew nothing. He could only nod to indicate that he had heard, and then close his eyes to rest.

"Li Dequan! Go and tell Bao Liri!"

Emperor Kangxi still had some conscience; after taking the girl away and confirming that there was no problem, he still knew to inform the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty! This servant will go personally right away!"

"Um!"
