"Your Majesty, I went to Yonghe Palace to celebrate the Fourth Prince's birthday!"
Harigana's voice was very normal, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with it!
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, not entirely satisfied with her answer.
She hadn't wanted to get involved in Kangxi's affairs, since the two of them hadn't seen each other since their conversation that day. But after hearing what Uya-shi said today, and seeing that he had gone to Yonghe Palace yesterday, she felt a glimmer of hope.
If they truly desired exclusive favor, they wouldn't have gone to Yonghe Palace; they could have easily held a banquet elsewhere.
But the Emperor went there yesterday, and even had dinner there, so he must have had other ideas.
Thinking about it this way, she felt a little more confident.
"My dear Consort! Your belly is already so big, you should take good care of yourself during this time! There are so many people in the harem, there will be someone to serve the Emperor well! As a Consort, you should set an example and abide by the palace rules!"
Harigana chuckled inwardly. He hadn't expected that this Uya clan member would actually complain. Fortunately, she hadn't softened her stance yesterday. Presumably, that petty emperor had already sent someone to investigate secretly!
Despite her thoughts, she tightened her grip on Granny Hu's hand, then replied with a pale face, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will certainly follow Your Majesty's teachings!"
"Okay! Get some rest when you get back. The roads are slippery in this snowy weather, so taking good care of the dragon offspring is the most important thing, understand?"
The Empress Dowager's words were a disguised form of confinement, and everyone was secretly watching her, wanting to see how she would respond.
As a result, the latter's face turned even paler, as if he had suffered some kind of blow!
"Yes, Your Majesty. I will rest and recuperate in Qingxi Palace. Thank you for your concern."
His voice trembled slightly, but it was clear he was holding on and not losing his composure!
Bumbutai stopped looking at her. Her delicate appearance was just too similar to that bitch Hailanzhu. She was afraid she would say something nasty!
People present had different thoughts; some saw this as an opportunity.
It goes without saying how much the Emperor respects the Empress Dowager, so now that the Cining Palace has taken action, it is unlikely that the Emperor will object!
Granny Hu was a little anxious. She knew about what happened last night, and the Emperor had specifically instructed her to take good care of the Imperial Concubine before he left.
Now, not only has the Emperor failed to appease the person, but the Empress Dowager has also effectively placed the person under house arrest, which is truly adding fuel to the fire!
When Kangxi woke up this morning and saw Harigana's obedient sleeping face, he felt a little annoyed with the Uya clan. He wouldn't have gone there if he didn't want someone to investigate the Uya clan!
The matter is still not cleared up, and his beloved Jiaojiao has become much more distant from him, and she doesn't even call him Xuan Ye anymore!
"Oh! Jiaojiao! What should I do with you?"
But after he went to court, he didn't know what was going on that day. Officials kept submitting memorials, and they were all about the people. Although he was flustered, he could not ignore the affairs of the court.
To his utter surprise, when he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he not only did not see Harigana, but he also did not receive a single letter or a single word.
"emperor!"
Just as Kangxi was about to open the door and go out, Li Dequan pushed him, causing him to stumble.
"Li Dequan!"
The two people, one trying to push the door open to go in and the other trying to open it to go out, bumped into each other.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, they've been confined to their quarters!"
Li Dequan wasn't unaware of the Emperor's furious shouts that he wanted to kill him, but he also knew that the other person was the most important in the Emperor's heart. Therefore, as long as the Emperor knew that his agitation was due to that person, he would be absolutely safe.
really.
"What?"
Kangxi did not understand the meaning of his words for a moment. He had not issued an edict, so what was she confined to her quarters?
"Your Majesty, just now, Granny Hu brought news that as soon as Your Majesty went to court today, the Empress Dowager sent someone to wake up the Consort and then summoned her to Cining Palace for a reprimand."
Li Dequan was also anxious. What kind of mess was this?
Kangxi's expression tightened, and his heart jumped into his throat.
"Is Jiaojiao alright? Why didn't anyone report it?" He said, walking outside, wanting to go and check on her himself!
"Granny Hu said that someone had been sent before, but Her Majesty said there was no need to disturb the Emperor and simply closed the palace gates."
Hearing this, Kangxi felt even more uneasy.
He said he would protect her, but he broke her heart just yesterday, and now the Empress Dowager has placed her under house arrest.
My anxiety intensified. What if Harigana did something rash, or never forgave him again?
The distance from Qianqing Palace to Qingxi Palace was not far, but it was the longest road that Emperor Kangxi had ever traveled. Even though it was the dead of winter, he was covered in sweat.
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to let the Emperor in?"
Granny Hu wanted to persuade her, but Harigana nodded and said, "Granny Hu, you may all leave! I want to be alone!"
Having received a hint from Harigana, Su Rina took Granny Hu downstairs!
Lying in bed, I wanted to continue sleeping, but remembering the guards around me, I picked up the blanket next to me and covered myself up completely before closing my eyes for a short rest.
At the entrance of Qingxi Palace.
"Little Li, open the door!"
Looking at Kangxi's ashen face, Li Dequan truly wanted to beat his disciple to death.
He usually seems quite clever, so why is he being so stubborn right now?
"emperor!"
Leonardo DiCaprio wanted to say something, but in the end he withdrew.
