Mingxiu was terrified. Thank goodness she saw it this time. If she hadn't, these young children might have encountered something terrible.
"What are they trying to do by arresting people?" Kangxi still didn't understand. They let people from other countries bring them in, but after they came in, they didn't do anything else but arrest the children of the Qing Dynasty. Didn't they have people in their own country? Why go through all this trouble?
"Your Majesty, according to that man, they said that a large family in their homeland needs a lot of people for some unknown reason, but they don't have enough local people, so they want to use people from other countries." The guard trembled as he spoke.
Kangxi was furious, and Mingxiu, who was listening nearby, was also fuming. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "Whatever they're doing, it's definitely something good. These people should be thrown into the deepest hell. They're inhuman!" Mingxiu was furious. The guard's words immediately reminded her of the experiments they conducted on people during the War of Resistance against Japan, where people were tortured to the point of being neither human nor ghost.
Kangxi waved his hand, dismissing the crowd. Looking at the furious Mingxiu, he withdrew her hand from the table, saying, "Alright, stop torturing yourself. I will make them pay the price." Kangxi's words were also laced with murderous intent.
I was furious when I watched the video before, especially when I saw the bacterial bomb at the end and how the experiments tortured people to the point of wishing they were dead. Kangxi was so angry that he wanted to crawl in and kill them all.
However, they were helpless because their navy was still training and they didn't have a suitable reason to take action. Now, they have a ready-made reason.
"Tell me, what are you going to do with them? These people are just too infuriating!" Mingxiu was so angry that even the emperor stopped shouting.
Kangxi comforted Mingxiu while explaining his plan: "They had actually written to us before, wanting to do business in the Qing Dynasty, but because of their poor tone, I refused them outright. Later, after I learned everything, my dislike for them only grew stronger."
So later, they didn't actually agree, but they hadn't found an opportunity to attack. Besides, the people of the Qing Dynasty had only enjoyed a few years of good fortune, and the navy was still training. I thought I'd wait until the people had recovered and were able to rebuild their lives. Now is the perfect time. I will arrange for someone to expose these people's crimes, then instigate hostility towards the Japanese, and finally send troops to conquer them.”
Kangxi quietly explained his plan. As Mingxiu listened, she gradually calmed down, nodded, and agreed. "That's how it should be done. We should just attack Japan directly. I don't believe it won't work."
"That works too. So what are you going to do with that Spaniard?" Mingxiu thought of the Spaniard who brought the person in directly. If it weren't for him bringing the person in, none of this would have happened.
"Don't worry, I won't let him off easily. I'll write a letter and have their people send it back. As for what to do next, we'll see what their Pope does."
However, doing so would expose Kangxi's identity, so Kangxi directly revealed his identity, quickly dealt with the matter, and then returned to the palace with Mingxiu.
Mingxiu had no choice but to go back. Although the area was prosperous, it was also a mixed bag, and Kangxi's status meant he couldn't stay there for too long.
They arrived at a leisurely pace, but returned at breakneck speed. By the time they returned to the capital, the weather had already begun to turn cold.
Mingxiu returned to the palace amidst the first snow of the year.
Wearing a fluffy cloak, Mingxiu stood in front of the gate of Yonghe Palace, announcing that she had finally returned.
The palace servants at Yonghe Palace rushed to greet Mingxiu when they saw her: "Your Highness, you're finally back! Was it fun outside? Was it dangerous?"
Everyone gathered around Mingxiu, chattering away. Mingxiu watched with a smile and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, I brought you quite a few gifts this time. They're all with Yulan. Go and distribute them yourselves later."
"Yes," Mingxiu said, and everyone went to find Yulan with smiles on their faces.
Chenghuan happened to be off today. Upon hearing that Mingxiu had returned, she immediately abandoned her playmates and came back to the palace. Looking at Mingxiu sitting on the throne, Chenghuan's aggrieved eyes turned red.
Mingxiu was talking to the palace servants when she looked up and saw Chenghuan standing in front of her with red eyes. She quickly got up to greet her.
Looking at Cheng Huan in front of her, Mingxiu was momentarily dazed. She didn't realize when the child had grown taller than her. Now, Mingxiu had to look up slightly to see her.
Cheng Huan was originally waiting for her mother to coax her, but instead, her mother just stared at her blankly.
Cheng Huan pouted. Ming Xiu snapped out of her daze and, seeing Cheng Huan's expression, quickly tried to comfort her. "Really, no matter how tall she is, she's still just a child."
"I'm so sorry, baby. It's mainly because you still have to go to school. We were afraid of delaying your studies. Also, Dad told you in advance that you would cry, so we didn't tell you. I apologize to you, Mother." Mingxiu apologized to Chenghuan first, adhering to the idea of apologizing no matter what.
After all, they were wrong in this matter, and that must be acknowledged.
"You always say that, but you never take me with you." Cheng Huan's pitiful look made Ming Xiu feel guilty for a moment.
"That's because you still have to go to school. Besides, it's not like it'll happen every time. Last time we took you on the tour, and we'll definitely take you again next time. Don't be angry," Mingxiu coaxed Chenghuan.
It turned out that Chenghuan was easy to coax. Mingxiu just said a few sweet words and then handed the gift to Chenghuan.
Having managed to appease Cheng Huan, Mingxiu felt even more guilty seeing her happy.
I feel guilty, but I should still go out and have fun. However, I'll take her with me next time I go out.
Mingxiu has been appeased, but Kangxi's situation is not so easy to resolve. Kangxi looked at Yinreng, who was standing in front of him complaining about how long he had been gone, with a dark expression and a helpless look on his face: "Just tell me straight, what exactly do you want? Let me tell you, if you want to rest for a while, that's definitely not allowed."
Yinreng grinned and looked at Kangxi: "Then, Father Emperor, I wish to personally go and conquer Japan."
