"Alright! It's getting late, let's keep going!"
Kangxi was getting annoyed by Harigana's silence. After waving his hand and speaking to Li Dequan, he pulled Harigana into the carriage, regardless of her consent.
Emperor Kangxi disliked the Tongjia clan. He hadn't settled accounts with them for the previous two incidents, but now they were stirring up trouble with Harigana.
"Tongjia Shi, you go back first!"
Tongjia's hands were clenched into fists, her nails digging into her palms, and bright red blood was flowing out.
Despite the pain in his hand, he showed no sign of it on his face. He smiled and said goodbye to Kangxi, and only after the two of them got into the carriage did he turn and leave.
"Your Majesty!"
Min'er supported Tongjia Shi, and seeing her face turn dark instantly, she began to worry that she might be punished again soon.
"You bitch! Shut up!"
Tongjia roared at Min'er, struggling to control her urge to hit her. After all, they were outside, and she couldn't lose face.
As soon as Harigana got into the carriage, she saw a food box placed where she had just been sitting. She frowned slightly, ignored Kangxi's gaze, and sat in the place furthest away from him.
"Jiaojiao! Come here!"
Emperor Kangxi had never seen a woman like this before, so he found her appearance quite novel. After speaking, he reached out to pull her.
"Your Majesty! May I return to my own carriage?"
Harigana didn't mean to anger Kangxi; it was just that the carriage smelled terrible, and she had a headache.
Kangxi's face darkened instantly: "Harigana, that's enough!"
Harigana looked at Kangxi with a half-smile, and did not insist any further. Even when Kangxi picked her up and placed her in the spot where Tongjia had just sat, Harigana did not react at all.
"Jiaojiao! Can't you be a good girl?"
Kangxi's words left Harigana speechless. She had been obedient enough; what more did she want?
"Your Majesty is right, I was wrong!"
Kangxi was instantly angered by Harigana's emotionless words!
"Harigana, have I been too lenient with you? Don't forget you're just my concubine!"
Harigana's tears flowed instantly, as if this position was what she wanted.
After Kangxi finished speaking, he realized that his words had been too harsh, especially when he saw Harigana's tears, all his anger dissipated.
"Jiaojiao! Don't cry!"
Harigana felt a slight aversion to Kangxi; if he neither liked nor disliked him before, now he felt disgust.
He was gentle and kind when he didn't have her, but after he got her, he treated her like a cat or dog, summoning her at will and dismissing her at will!
Harigana struggled, wanting to get down, but the physical discomfort and psychological aversion made her so uncomfortable that she didn't want to stay there.
The woman's fragrance, especially that emanating from Emperor Kangxi, made her want to vomit.
"Harigana!"
Kangxi held her tightly, and seeing Harigana still struggling, he kissed her without thinking.
"Let me go!"
Harigana felt like vomiting, but before she could explain that she felt unwell, Kangxi grabbed Harigana's chin and kissed her very hard, making her feel not only physically and mentally uncomfortable, but also causing her mind to go blank.
Gradually, her mind went blank, and she slumped into Kangxi's arms. Kangxi thought Harigana was being obedient, but as he kissed her, he realized something was wrong. Not only was she not struggling, but her breathing had also become weak.
"Jiaojiao!"
Emperor Kangxi called out to Harigana, only to discover that the man had already fainted sometime during the night.
"Li Dequan! Summon the imperial physician! Quickly!"
Kangxi's voice was anxious, and Li Dequan's heart tightened. He hadn't missed the argument between the two, but he hadn't expected that his ancestor would faint!
"Yes! Your servant obeys!"
As soon as Li Dequan responded, Little Li had already run out!
Kangxi's heart tightened as he looked at Harigana's deathly pale face. The little girl who had just been chatting and laughing with him was now limp and bloodless in his arms, like someone on the verge of death.
"Jiaojiao!"
Kangxi called Harigana again, but she still did not react.
"Your Majesty! The imperial physician has arrived!"
When Li Dequan's voice rang out, Kangxi immediately sent someone up to take her pulse.
Because of the incident in Harigana, the entire team has stopped.
"How is Consort Chen?"
Kangxi held Harigana in his arms, and after the imperial physician withdrew his hand, he quickly asked him a question.
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty must have suffered some kind of shock, which caused her to faint. Moreover, Her Majesty seems to have had a heart condition before, and although it has improved a lot in the past two years, there are still some signs that it may relapse."
Kangxi was now completely filled with regret, and he even harbored resentment towards Lady Tongjia for coming to see him for no reason. If it weren't for her appearance, how could Harigana have turned out this way?
She had been so coquettishly asking him if it would interfere with his plans, but now she was in such pain, and her old ailment was even about to flare up. You can imagine how angry she was.
In that instant, Kangxi thought of many things. He even thought that he would gradually let Harigana get used to the fact that he had other women, but he had to do it step by step and not provoke her like that!
"When will you wake up?"
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty should regain consciousness in about half an hour! But she must not be subjected to any further agitation at that time!"
Kangxi nodded, wanting to ask if she wanted to take any medicine, but before he could ask, he heard the imperial physician ask, "Your Majesty, does the Empress usually use rouge and face powder? Those things have a strong smell and are not suitable for the Empress's health! Please persuade the Empress not to use them anymore!"
"No need! Consort Chen never uses those things!"
After Kangxi finished speaking, he was stunned. He finally understood why Harigana wanted to go back to her carriage. Tongjia had a strong fragrance on her body, and the carriage must have left a smell, which made her uncomfortable!
The imperial physician was also a great help to Harigana. After Kangxi finished speaking, he sniffed lightly and then asked doubtfully, "Your Majesty! It may be a problem with my nose. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The imperial physician had been in the palace for many years, and just by looking at Kangxi's slightly changed expression, he knew that there must be something he couldn't say, so he quickly confessed.
"It's alright! But Consort Chen needs to take her medicine!"
The imperial physician wanted to shake his head, saying that Harigana had just been stimulated and would recover once she calmed down. However, just to be on the safe side, he still prescribed a calming herbal decoction for her to drink.
"Go quickly, bring it over after it's cooked! You oversee the cooking process yourself!"
After Kangxi finished speaking, he sat down with Harigana in his arms and opened the windows on both sides to try to make the scent of Tongjia less noticeable. However, he couldn't tell what the rouge was made of, because he could always smell a faint, lingering scent.
