Harigana hugged Kang's neck: "Xuan Ye, I'll be here for you no matter what happens."

Her voice sounded a little weak as she spoke, so she quickly tried to comfort her.

It must have been a very profound experience for Emperor Kangxi; even after thirty years, he still remembered it so clearly.

"Okay, sure."

Harigana stopped clinging to him and released his arms from around his neck: "You get busy, are you going to call Li Dequan in? I'm going out for a walk, okay?"

She sat up straight and looked at him: "Xuan Ye, are you staying here tonight?"

Kangxi released the person in his arms and helped her straighten her clothes after she regained her balance: "Stay here, you won't be going back tonight."

Take Dulan out for a walk, but be careful.

He did have things to take care of, and since she didn't want to stay here, then she shouldn't stay, so as not to worry if she heard anything.

Harigana wanted exactly the same mentality as Emperor Kangxi.

Whether or not it's really what she thinks, the important thing now is to extricate herself from the situation.

As for the smallpox vaccine and the cake, she needs to think about it some more.

Besides, what if she's wrong?

Therefore, what we need to do now is not to panic, but to think clearly about what to do in advance.

She needed to think alone, which also gave Kangxi the illusion that she had nothing to do with him.

"Okay, I understand."

I'll just walk around the house and get some food.

After finishing speaking, Harigana kissed him on the cheek and ran out the door before Kangxi could react.

Seeing her playful appearance, Kangxi chuckled and then called Wei Yi out.

"emperor."

In the study, Kangxi sat in a chair: "What have you discovered?"

Wei Yi remained hidden and received no signal, so it shouldn't be anything too difficult.

Or perhaps the situation just now wasn't difficult.

"Your Majesty, there have been four people on the side of the private room the whole time. We've confirmed that their kung fu skills are not very good."

Wei Yi paused for a moment, then continued, "That shopkeeper seemed very strange. After talking to Eunuch Li, he didn't go to the other private rooms, but went downstairs to the backyard."

The servant followed at a distance and discovered there were still people there, but one of them was very skilled in martial arts and almost spotted the servant.

Wei Yi said his kung fu is very good, which proves that he is definitely above many people.

These are secret guards!

"Go investigate, you must find out who's behind this."

Kangxi believed Harigana; if she said something was wrong, then it was definitely wrong.

Besides, what restaurant would secretly observe its customers or keep martial arts masters around?

"Yes, this servant will go right away."

After Wei Yi left, Kangxi summoned Li Dequan and arranged some more things before going to find Harigana.

Meanwhile, in the backyard, Harigana sat in the pavilion, drinking hot tea and lost in thought.

Dulan did not disturb them, and looked around at the surroundings.

Upon hearing the hem of a garment appear around the corner, she quickly whispered a reminder: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."

Harigana snapped out of his daze, picked up the snacks on the table and started eating, showing no signs of having just been lost in thought.

"This servant greets Master!"

When Dulan saw Kangxi approaching, she quickly knelt down to pay her respects.

"Go ahead and think about it!"

I sat down next to Harigana, took her hand and checked its temperature; it wasn't very cold.

"Third Brother, I'm not cold, you should drink some water."

She reached out to pour him some tea, but Kangxi took the water she was half-drinking and drank it all in one gulp.

"Eat less, we'll have hot pot for dinner."

Seeing that Harigana had eaten another pastry, Kangxi also ate two.

"How about we have dinner early tonight, in this pavilion?"

Harigana naturally agreed, as hot pot was her favorite food.

She nodded quickly: "Okay, I want it spicy."

Emperor Kangxi agreed, but secretly instructed Li Dequan that the spice level should not be too high.

Harigana wasn't unaware that he was up to something behind the scenes, but he pretended not to know.

Perhaps because of her age, although she likes spicy food, she doesn't dare to eat anything too spicy anymore.

They had intended to take her out of the city to see the sights, and planned to visit the Hanlin Academy, but after what happened at noon, the two of them didn't go anywhere. Instead, they explored every nook and cranny of the house.

"Xuan Ye, if those people keep following us, how will you attend court tomorrow?"

After dinner, with nothing else to do, the two began to paint in the study.

He glanced outside, then turned to ask Kangxi.

"Don't worry, Jiaojiao, I have a plan."

Emperor Kangxi put down his pen and looked at the woman in the portrait, feeling that something was missing.

He turned his head to look at Harigana carefully, then looked at the portrait, but didn't find anything wrong with it.

"Xuan Ye, are you sure this is a painting of me?"

Harigana watched him compare back and forth, then looked at him with hostility: "Third brother, look closely, is this me?"

Emperor Kangxi nodded; the painting depicted her.

After nodding, he realized that his original intention was to paint a teenage Harigana, but he had never seen him.

Therefore, this portrait now looks more like Bayalig.

"Jiaojiao, the drawing really is you. It's a pity I didn't get to see what you looked like when you were little."

Harigana rolled his eyes, walked over to the opposite side of him, carefully examined Kangxi, and then picked up a brush to start drawing.

Before long, a face that looked remarkably like Emperor Kangxi appeared on the drawing paper.

However, the more Kangxi looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Harigana!!!"

After she finished drawing the hair, Kangxi was so angry he laughed.
