Harigana's heart skipped a beat.
He glanced at Li Dequan, noticing his evasive gaze, and decided not to dwell on it any longer. He turned around and prepared to leave with Dulan.
She had just turned around when she was called back: "Your Highness, just give the things to this servant."
Harigana didn't even pause for a moment: "Your Majesty probably doesn't need it anymore. I'll take it with me. Eunuch Li, guard this place well and make sure no one disturbs Your Majesty's good time."
She didn't believe that Kangxi couldn't hear what was being said outside, but he hadn't come out yet; it would be strange if there wasn't something fishy going on.
Before she could speak, a woman's voice came from inside: "Your Majesty."
Harigana's face instantly turned ugly. He turned around and glanced at the tightly closed door, ultimately sacrificing his dignity.
Two weeks passed, and she hadn't even realized what was happening.
With a gloomy expression, he turned around and strode back to Qingxi Palace.
Before coming, she thought the sun was shining brightly, so she went through the main gate. Now, looking at the three characters "Qingxi Palace," she felt extremely ironic.
I walked in with heavy steps, feeling a sudden whim today; otherwise, I wouldn't have known that Kangxi would do such a thing in the Qianqing Palace.
Absolutely disgusting.
Thinking about how she had waited for him to come back just a few days ago, and how the two of them had made love for a long time, she felt utterly filthy.
"Dulan, I want to take a bath."
It's filthy, it's disgusting.
Dulan dared not delay and immediately turned around to have Xiao Li prepare water. She looked at Harigana with heartache, inwardly cursing Kangxi to the point of being furious.
Li Dequan was anxious; the Empress must be extremely worried.
It’s over!
Looking at the tightly closed door, Li Dequan felt like dying.
Harigana stood in the courtyard, gazing absently at the peach tree in the corner.
The peach trees were specially sent from the outskirts of Beijing to the palace by Emperor Kangxi some time ago, but out of the three trees planted, only one survived.
Now, it seems like it's becoming a joke.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
Somehow, the story of the Empress going to see the Emperor and being turned away spread throughout the palace.
The matter caused quite a stir, and some people even started to have ulterior motives, wondering if Emperor Kangxi had grown tired of it.
However, everyone has vivid memories of what Kangxi did for Harigana over the past three years, so even if he had ulterior motives, he didn't dare to actually do anything.
The Empress Dowager had naturally heard about this matter and intended to go and see, but for some reason, she sighed and did not set off.
"Princess."
Dulan was a little worried and stood next to Harigana, unsure of how to comfort her.
"Go pack your things. I'll wash up and move them to the front yard later."
Dulan responded and found a few maids. She only packed Harigana's clothes and left everything else behind.
Everything in front is new, so the princess certainly won't use those old things anymore.
The Emperor deserves to die; he's a heartless scoundrel.
Harigana looked very unwell. It was the first time the servants had ever seen the Empress like this, and they scolded her a lot while they were working.
Stepping into the bathroom, the thought of her being in the bathtub in front of me just a few days ago made me feel even more nauseous.
He didn't go inside; instead, he took off his clothes, grabbed a bucket of water, and poured it over himself.
Dulan didn't offer any advice. Although she didn't know why Harigana was acting this way, she should fully support what her master wanted to do.
I took two showers, and although I felt a little better, I was still sweating a bit, so I quickly put on clean clothes.
If Kangxi, who made a mistake, were to fall ill, wouldn't she be asking for trouble?
After getting dressed, I went straight to the front yard.
Fortunately, the children went to the Duke's mansion, otherwise she would have had to force a smile and play with them.
At this moment, in the Qianqing Palace, Li Dequan wanted to knock on the door but dared not. However, thinking of the living ancestor's expression, he was more worried than being scolded.
I don't know what possessed the Emperor to do such a thing.
The old man is stubborn; if we don't coax him soon, we won't be able to appease him.
Harigana lay on the bed, her mind in turmoil. She realized she really shouldn't fall for a man; otherwise, it was the woman who would end up heartbroken.
It's certain that Kangxi is hiding something from her, there's no doubt about that, but she can't guess what it is right now.
She hadn't noticed anything unusual these past few days and had no clue what was going on.
He started to think about what happened after her birthday banquet, and apart from saying that he was very tired, there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Whatever, let it be.
Harigana's mind was racing; perhaps she was plotting to assassinate the regicide.
I've said I liked him and loved him before, but that was only based on mutual liking and a clean relationship, both physically and mentally.
Since he broke his promise, he shouldn't blame her for being heartless.
Just as Li Dequan was about to knock on the door of the Qianqing Palace, it was opened.
"Was the Empress here just now?"
Li Dequan's hand, which was about to knock on the door, almost hit Kangxi.
Despite his murderous glare, I forced myself to say, "Yes, Her Majesty the Empress has arrived, bringing food."
Where are they?
Looking around, there was no sign of Harigana, and not even a trace of food in Li Dequan's hand.
He paused, his heart skipped a beat.
"Your Majesty, you said that no one can enter, no matter who comes. The Empress has already left."
Moreover, his face looked very pale, and he could hear sounds coming from inside.
Of course, this was just what he thought; he didn't dare say it aloud.
"idiot!"
Enraged, Kangxi kicked Li Dequan and hurriedly walked towards the back door.
They had only been gone a short while when a young eunuch announced an urgent report from Dai Zi.
He didn't know that Harigana had heard the shouts inside. He thought he would deal with the situation first and then go to comfort the person, but he ended up watching for two hours.
When he came to his senses, the sun was already setting.
"Li Dequan, bring some tea."
Kangxi sounded tired as he rubbed his temples and leaned back in his chair.
"emperor."
He placed a cup of tea on the desk, looking at Kangxi with a hesitant expression.
He was kicked in the morning, and he doesn't know if he should explain things now.
"emperor."
Emperor Kangxi was busy with state affairs, and as the chief eunuch, he had an obligation to remind him.
"Aren't you going back to Qingxi Palace?"
Emperor Kangxi, who had just taken a sip of tea, was startled and quickly put down his teacup to leave.
"Damn you, why didn't you say so sooner?"
Li Dequan got kicked again; he couldn't escape.
Seeing the emperor's anxious expression, she pouted and thought to herself that he deserved it.
The fact that they could forget about the Empress's affairs clearly shows that they didn't take it seriously.
The more smug you are now, the more miserable you will be later.
No, he had to hurry and follow them so he could eavesdrop and see what happened.
After exiting through the back gate of the Qianqing Palace, it took a short while to reach the Qingxi Palace.
However, there were very few servants in the courtyard, and only a few servants remained at the entrance of the main hall.
Not only was Xiao Li not around, but Du Lan was also nowhere to be seen, and the entire courtyard was eerily quiet.
