"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi's voice was very soft. Harigana heard it, but he didn't want to talk to Kangxi, so he pretended not to hear it.
"You all go out first!"
Kangxi shook off Li Dequan's arm and swayed as he walked towards Harigana, making everyone who saw him tremble with fear.
"Slow down!"
Harigana wasn't worried that Kangxi would fall and get injured, but rather that if something went wrong with her, she would be in serious trouble!
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi embraced Harigana, his hands tightly gripping her waist, his head burying itself in her neck and nuzzling against her.
The force of Kangxi's sudden pounce almost made the two of them fall to the ground. After finally managing to stand up, their necks started to itch.
"Your Majesty, please get up!"
Harigana couldn't smell alcohol on Kangxi, but her behavior was just too abnormal!
"Jiaojiao!"
The moment Kangxi held Harigana in his arms, his reason wavered, and the force in his hands tightened.
Harigana felt the heat emanating from him and, recalling what he had just witnessed, made a bold guess in his mind.
"Your Majesty! You?"
She couldn't bring herself to utter the words "traditional Chinese medicine." What if she guessed wrong? She'd be too ashamed to face anyone afterward! Even though she only knew about it from novels, it was still incredibly embarrassing to actually say it!
"Jiaojiao! I can't take it anymore!" After saying that, Kangxi picked up Harigana around the waist and staggered towards the bed.
"No! Go and see the imperial physician! Li Dequan, Dulan! Go and fetch the imperial physician!"
Harigana began to struggle, but even though Kangxi was already delirious, he still held onto her tightly.
Li Dequan had no intention of leaving at all. If the emperor wanted to call the imperial physician, he would have already sent him in to see him. Why was he suffering for so long?
Dulan wanted to invite the imperial physician, but Li Dequan stopped her as soon as she took a step.
“Miss Dulan! You should not meddle in the affairs of the Emperor and the Empress! The Emperor has not given the order. Even if you summon the imperial physician, it will only let more people know that the Emperor is in the Empress’s tent.”
Dulan was furious! She and Li Dequan were truly incompatible; every time they met, she suffered in silence. She wasn't stupid; Li Dequan's words were clearly a warning to her not to meddle, or it would be their princess who would lose face.
Seeing that Du Lan had stopped walking, Li Dequan hurriedly went to arrange the guards around the area.
"Little Li! You personally go and keep an eye on that Habril. Remember, absolutely nothing can happen to him! Unless ordered by the Emperor, no one is allowed to approach him!"
Li Dequan felt that today's events were not simple. The Imperial Tent was so heavily guarded, how did that woman get in? And how did the Emperor get the medicine?
"Yes! Don't worry, Master, I'll go right away!"
Little Li left after receiving his orders, leaving only Du Lan and Li Dequan at the door. One was leisurely, while the other was as angry as a pufferfish.
Li Dequan looked at Du Lan's chubby cheeks and couldn't help but laugh, which earned him a fierce eye roll from the girl.
Su Ma La Gu looked at the Empress Dowager, who was already furious, and shook her head inwardly, lowering her eyes and remaining silent.
"You good-for-nothing! I've already placed an opportunity right in front of you, and you just come back like this!"
The girl on the ground was none other than the Khorchin woman who had just wanted to bring Emperor Kangxi a midnight snack. But now, she was no longer the same woman who had spoken to Li Dequan; her face was trembling and covered in tears.
"Your Majesty, that eunuch Li Dequan won't let me get close, I really can't get in!"
Sigil was extremely aggrieved. She had never intended to enter the palace, but the Empress Dowager had approached her mother without asking her wishes, which led to tonight's events.
She's only sixteen, why does she have to get married so early? Besides, what's so great about that emperor? He's nothing compared to the men of the grasslands, all fair-skinned and not attractive at all.
"Useless! You can't even intimidate a mere servant with my decree! You're utterly useless! Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough!"
Bumbutai was furious; after cursing, he started coughing incessantly.
"Empress Dowager!"
Sumalagu stepped forward to help her catch her breath, and Xijier, being very perceptive, poured her a cup of tea and offered it to her.
"Sigil! Since it didn't work out, let's pretend it never happened. Go back and tell your Eqige to keep what happened tonight to himself, do you hear me!"
Bumbutai was full of hope that she could succeed tonight. After all, although the medicine would not harm Xuan Ye's body, it would not solve the problem if she did not find someone to help her!
But to their utter surprise, the women in their family were so useless that a woman from Borchijin got a great deal out of them.
But this is good too. By controlling a brainless woman, we can make things even more disgusting for that Harigana, making things easier to deal with later.
Thinking about it this way, Bumbutai's mood improved a lot.
"Su Ma, do you think that Harigana will become completely different when she finds out that her Egeqi is stealing her husband?"
Su Ma had become numb to the Empress Dowager's sudden whims during this time. The Empress Dowager always thought she could scheme against everyone, but she forgot about the Aisin Gioro clan's nature. If the Emperor really liked that Harigana, even if she was completely different, she would still be the Emperor's favorite concubine!
"Your Majesty is right! But it's getting late, Your Majesty should rest early! We'll be heading south the day after tomorrow, so you must take care of yourself!"
Bumbutai sighed deeply, "Have the people been dealt with?"
Sumalagu nodded quickly and said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, the person has already secretly returned to Khorchin. His Majesty will not find out!"
"Yes! I sent him back yesterday. No one expected that the man who had already returned to Khorchin would come back to help me!"
Bumbutai's eyes gleamed, and he immediately instructed again, "Tell Wenduer to keep a close eye on him. This matter must not be known to anyone!"
"Yes! This servant understands!"
Bumbutai felt that Haburi had succeeded, so she lay down on the bed in a good mood and fell asleep in no time. But what she never expected was that Harigana, whom she looked down on, was being coaxed by Kangxi.
"Jiaojiao! Please give it to me! I feel so bad!"
Kangxi's breathing grew heavier, and Harigana was completely at a loss for how to react. This step was inevitable, but would giving it to him so easily make Kangxi feel it was too casual?
She dodged his lips as he tried to kiss her, not letting him touch them at all.
"Jiaojiao! I didn't touch her! Don't worry, I'm clean and healthy!"
