"How about it?"
After Li Dequan entered, Kangxi asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, the owner of this shop is very mysterious."
The servant sent someone to the Prefect of the Capital to investigate. The Prefect said that the name registered with them was that of the manager, but the owner was not mentioned.
Moreover, when I went out just now, I noticed that someone was secretly watching me.
Kangxi's expression tightened: "Continue to investigate secretly, and settle down first."
Harigana sat to one side, his brow furrowed, as if something was amiss.
At first, she thought this person was in a hurry to open a shop in order to make money from the students who came to the capital.
But now it seems that it's definitely not that simple.
Leaving aside whether those people coming to Beijing have the money or the ability to afford such high-class restaurants, the imperial examinations have only been going on for a short time, so such a large investment is inappropriate.
Emperor Kangxi should have suspected a connection to the previous dynasty, but she felt it was impossible.
Even if the actions taken a few years ago had apprehended most of those people, and even if some had escaped, they wouldn't have been able to launch a counterattack in such a short time.
It's still done in this high-profile way.
Harigana felt like there was something she hadn't figured out, and for a moment she was in a daze, but she just couldn't remember it.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"
Looking at the solemn-faced woman, Kangxi dared not ask loudly, for fear of frightening her.
"Xuan Ye, I'll talk to you later, let me think about it."
Harigana got up and sat on Kangxi's lap, leaning against his chest and closing his eyes to begin his recollection.
From the moment I stepped inside, memories flooded back, frame by frame.
Kangxi held her without disturbing her memories, gently protecting her.
Sometimes he felt that Harigana really came to save him and help the development of the Qing Dynasty.
"Li Dequan!"
Harigana suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and called out to Li Dequan.
She seemed to have a guess, but she didn't know if it was true.
She felt a surge of excitement, but what if she was wrong?
She swallowed hard. If what she thought was true, wouldn't she be in great danger?
"lady!"
Li Dequan walked to the door but did not come in.
"What did the restaurant originally do?"
Kangxi sensed her nervousness and tightened his grip on her.
"Madam, it used to be a restaurant, but it was two separate establishments."
Harigana clutched the man's collar, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
She had truly lived in a comfortable environment for too long and had forgotten her own identity.
"Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"
The tension in the person's arms was so obvious that he also became frightened.
"Let me calm down, let me think about it, and think about it some more."
I closed my eyes, replaying the memory again and again, confirming it over and over, and the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became.
The marble entrance, the partitions and furnishings of the private rooms, and the cabinet displaying drinks at the entrance on the first floor all convey one message.
The owner of this business is a modern person.
Like her, he is a modern person.
But that doesn't make sense!
If they were modern people, how could they have hidden masters following them?
Most importantly, wouldn't it be better to live a good life elsewhere?
Why come to the capital?
Are you coming to see her?
Because of smallpox? Because of the cake?
Harigana's mind is in a mess.
Her identity must absolutely, absolutely not be exposed. She will take this secret to her grave, and she will never admit it, nor can she ever admit it.
She truly likes Emperor Kangxi now, she really likes him.
However, they still have their own calculations for the sake of the children.
If Kangxi knew that she knew the entire course of events from the very beginning, and even interfered with the development and future of the Qing Dynasty.
He would definitely not be able to accept that, and might even doubt her sincerity now.
At that point, things might get out of control.
Back then, when Yinzhen had a dream, she not only didn't admit it, but also allowed Kangxi to imprison her.
If the truth were to be exposed, she would be seen by Emperor Kangxi as someone who was scheming to seize the throne.
At this moment, Harigana's mind was undergoing a violent brainstorming session.
Suddenly, she seemed to know who it was.
Yinzhen!
But that doesn't make sense either. He was surrounded by secret guards. If it were him, Kangxi wouldn't have known.
"Xuan Ye, no matter how I think about it, something doesn't feel right, but I just can't figure out what's wrong."
She looked at Kangxi with a nervous expression, clutching his clothes: "I can't think of anything."
Her intuition had been right before, and the Imperial Observatory had also said that she could listen to her, so it was understandable that she was a little nervous at this moment.
Emperor Kangxi wouldn't ask; if he did, he'd have a bad feeling, but he couldn't figure it out.
"Jiaojiao, when we get to the house later, have Wei Yi and the others go out on their errands. It's not appropriate to call them out on the street right now."
Harigana nodded, leaning against Kangxi with a dejected expression.
"Don't worry about it if you can't figure it out. We'll find out eventually."
Harigana knew that Harigana was obviously nervous, so he hugged Harigana's waist, tilted his head back, and told him the two points he had been thinking about.
Kangxi instantly understood the reason for her nervousness. It was probably because the events of the previous years had left her with a great shadow, which was why she was still running away.
"Jiaojiao, don't be nervous, be good!"
He patted her back gently: "Even if they are from the previous dynasty, I'm not afraid. I'll handle it."
Harigana breathed a sigh of relief, finally making things right.
Emperor Kangxi had a very good thought process; sometimes he didn't need her to say anything, he could use his imagination to his advantage.
"Okay, fine."
After saying that, she snuggled into his arms and said, "Xuan Ye, am I really useless?"
Kangxi chuckled, his initial worries vanishing thanks to Harigana's actions.
Regardless of whether it was something done by people from the previous dynasty, the fact that they've discovered it now is the best solution.
In any case, it's better to find out than to find out after things have spiraled out of control.
"What are you saying? My darling is the best."
As he spoke, he pulled the person out of his arms and looked at the dejected little face: "Leave it to me, I don't want to think about it anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, he gently kissed her forehead and then pulled her into his arms again.
The carriage swayed and rattled for a while, and then stopped in front of a house about 15 minutes later.
"Master and Madam, we have arrived."
Kangxi led Harigana out of the carriage, got off the carriage first, and then turned around and carried him down.
She did not struggle and let Kangxi carry her through the gate.
Although the courtyard was clean and tidy, I didn't see any servants.
Kangxi, on the other hand, carried her to the backyard as if he knew the way well, and it was obvious that this was not his first time there.
“Jiaojiao, this was bought by my mother when she was alive.”
Before Harigana could ask, Kangxi explained to him: "That year I contracted smallpox. My mother thought the estate was too far away, so she wanted to keep me in the palace. Later, she bought this house."
Finally, the Emperor said he couldn't stay in the capital for fear I would infect others, so he sent me directly to the estate.
"Since we've already bought the house, we'll just keep it."
