Dulan pouted and went back to Harigana's car. Although she tried hard to hide her emotions, she was a cheerful and upright child who grew up on the grassland. Most importantly, this matter concerned her master, so Harigana could tell that something was wrong with her at a glance.

"Dulan, what's wrong? Has someone been giving you trouble?"

Harigana thought that someone with ulterior motives had seen what had just happened, which was why he had made things difficult for Dulan.

"No! Your Highness, please have your meal first!"

Dulan was never good with words, and even her attempts to change the subject were so abrupt. Harigana sighed, then said quietly, "Dulan, if you don't tell me, I'll go see for myself!"

Dulan quickly said, "Your Majesty! I'm telling you, please don't go down! Going down will only make you angrier!"

Harigana wondered what had happened to make Dulan so angry.

"Okay! Go ahead and say it!"

"Your Majesty, it's the Empress Dowager!" Hai Ri was afraid that Du Lan might speak too bluntly in front of Xiao Li Zi, so he quickly took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager was just speaking with that noble lady from Borjigit, instructing her to serve His Majesty well!"

Dulan was about to say something when Hairi grabbed her hand and said, "The noble lady probably had some stains on her clothes, and the Empress Dowager helped her tidy them up."

Harigana was disgusted. She never imagined Kangxi would be so promiscuous. One second he was all lovey-dovey with her, and the next, she was rolling around with another woman.

His eyes darted around, and he whispered a few words in Su Rina's ear before nodding firmly in her astonished gaze.

Su Rina's face immediately darkened, but she still nodded in agreement to Harigana's request: "Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant understands!"

Harigana was satisfied. She didn't want things to turn out this way, but she was really worried! So taking precautions in advance should be fine, right?

Before lunch, the Empress Dowager finally understood why Emperor Kangxi was so angry today, and why he had summoned Borjigit to accompany him.

I initially wanted to call Harigana over and give her a scolding, but then I thought it would be better this way; the more ignorant she was, the more it would highlight Angel's obedience.

"Su Ma! You have to have the means to enjoy such immense wealth!"

Sumalagu did not think so. Although it looked like the people of Borjigit were accompanying the emperor, this scene was just like when Emperor Shunzhi was alive. In order to cover up the truth and prevent the Empress Dowager from causing trouble for Consort Dong'e, he had someone impersonate her!

"Yes! Empress Dowager, you can enjoy the scenery while waiting for the Borjigit girl to give you a great-grandson!"

Bumbutai's favorite saying now is: "Even if the children of Mongolian concubines cannot ascend to high positions, they can still become idle princes, and the Khorchin and the Qing Dynasty can maintain close ties!"

When Xiao Li heard what Du Lan said, he thought about it and found an opportunity to ask Harigana if he needed to ask his master, Eunuch Li, about the situation.

"Little Li! No need to go. What the Emperor does is his business. Since you've come to see me, I'll say a few more words."

Harigana never expected that Leonardo DiCaprio would side with her like this. Although she didn't completely believe him, she still had to say what needed to be said!

"Your Majesty, whatever you say is true, this servant will certainly remember it!"

"Hmm! If the Emperor needs you to inquire with Li Dequan about something, I will send you there if necessary. But if it's not something I request, don't ask, don't listen, and don't interfere!"

Li Dequan is your master, but he is also the emperor's personal eunuch. Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger; if something happens one day, not only Li Dequan, but we will all be implicated.

So, we're not really trying to forge ahead, but rather to protect ourselves wisely within the palace. I'm not like the others; I don't covet anything that doesn't belong to me, so I can only stay in this position from now on.

Do you understand what I'm saying? Would you like to reconsider? Would you like to stay and serve me?

As soon as Harigana finished speaking, Xiao Lizi knelt before her and swore: "Your Majesty, this servant need not consider! From the day I followed you, I swore in my heart that you would be my only master. No matter what happens in the future, Xiao Lizi will serve you wholeheartedly, just like Dulan and the others."

"Okay! I believe you! Get up. I told you yesterday, don't come back and forth like that again. Don't lose your manners in front of outsiders, and don't perform the big bow when no one is around."

Little Li quickly stood up: "Yes! This servant obeys!"

Having eaten and drunk their fill, and preparing to depart, Harigana quietly lifted the curtain and peeked out, just in time to see the nobleman from the Borjigit boarding Kangxi's carriage.

She pursed her lips, shivered, and quickly drew the back curtain, not wanting to look anymore.

But this scene was witnessed by Lady Tongjia. She was still angry that the noble lady had caught the emperor's eye, but when she saw Harigana lift the curtain, she was instantly happy!

A minor noblewoman can't do anything to her, as long as she's not that lowly woman from the Borchijin tribe who made the emperor make an exception and grant her the title of concubine.

"Min'er! Let's go! Let's go back!"

Tongjia walked gracefully to her carriage, glanced back at Harigana's carriage behind her, and smiled mockingly: "Crying sadly, aren't you? How wonderful!"

If Harigana knew what Tongjia was thinking, she would definitely say that she was delusional or blind. What could she possibly be thinking about that would make her sad?

Emperor Kangxi was having a headache at the moment. Just now, the Empress Dowager had been telling him, both openly and subtly, that this was the proper way for a monarch to treat women equally.

So even if he wanted to get this nobleman from Borjigit to leave, he couldn't do it now!

However, the thought of the woman who didn't come down for lunch still made him feel uncomfortable. Moreover, Li Dequan secretly inquired and found out that she was feeling unwell.

[Hasn't your body recovered yet? You're so uncomfortable, why didn't you call for a physician!]

Kangxi's mind was in turmoil, his eyes staring blankly ahead. Borjigit noticed the emperor's unusual behavior and gently called out, "Your Majesty, are you feeling unwell?"

Kangxi was almost able to figure out why he cared so much about Harigana, but he was awakened by Angel's voice, and then all that intuition disappeared.

"Shut up!"

Angel trembled. All she wanted to ask was if the Emperor was feeling unwell and if he needed to call the imperial physician. How could she be scolded for showing concern for the Emperor!

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! I was just worried about you!"

Emperor Kangxi was in a bad mood and was about to ask her to leave when a deafening thunderclap resounded in the sky.
