"Jiaojiao!"
Harigana was dreaming of eating beggar's chicken, but just as she held the big chicken leg in her hand, before she could even touch it, she heard someone calling her name.
They not only called her name, but it seemed like they also wanted to steal her chicken leg.
"Ah~~!"
Kangxi initially thought she was unwell because of her furrowed brows. Just as he touched her forehead, Harigana grabbed his hand and stuffed it into her mouth. Caught off guard, Harigana bit him hard and couldn't help but cry out.
Li Dequan instinctively tried to push the door open and go in, and Du Lan was also ready to rescue him. However, Li Dequan only took two steps before stopping, and the two of them bumped into each other.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Jiaojiao!"
Ouch!
"careful!"
"Bang!"
Five voices rang out simultaneously.
Then the two people on the ground and the two people on the dragon throne stared at each other, creating an extremely awkward scene.
Harigana was startled awake by the sound of the door being banged on. He was smiling because he was eating a chicken leg when the noise woke him up.
Kangxi's forehead veins were throbbing, and there were twenty neat teeth marks on his hands. In short, he was in pain all over.
"Li Dequan! Dulan! Get out!"
Looking at the two people on the ground, he wanted to curse, but he couldn't actually do anything. All he could do was shout to express his anger.
"Your servant obeys!"
"This servant obeys the decree!"
Li Dequan was the first to react, stood up, and pulled Dulan out of the Imperial Study as if they were fleeing.
The two people standing outside looked at each other in disbelief. Who would have thought they would fall right in?
Harigana glanced at Kangxi secretly, especially at the large hand he was still holding, with two rows of teeth marks clearly visible. Without a doubt, it was the giant chicken leg from her dream.
"Xuan...Xuan Ye!"
I grabbed his hand and checked it. Luckily, there was no broken skin, otherwise his hand wouldn't be able to process memorials for several days.
"Jiaojiao, is the dragon claw meat delicious?"
Kangxi spoke through gritted teeth, but Harigana couldn't help but burst out laughing.
I knew he was petty, but I didn't expect him to be this petty.
What I said this morning is now being applied to her.
"Xuan Ye, I... hahaha, I didn't... I didn't mean it! Hahaha!"
Dragon claws, hahaha! That's absolutely hilarious!
Her smile didn't last long. Kangxi said quietly, "I remember now. You said your feet hurt when you were sleeping, so I massaged them for a while."
Snap!
Harigana's heart seems to be broken.
Do you know which hand it is?
Kangxi looked at her with a half-smile, and under her expectant gaze, slowly raised his right hand.
"Jiaojiao, what are you thinking about? I'm holding you with my left arm, how can I massage your feet?"
*Splat!* It shattered completely!
Struggling to get off him, she needed to rinse her mouth; it was dirty.
But Kangxi deliberately held her tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
"Put it down quickly, ugh!"
Before Harigana could finish speaking, Kangxi leaned down and kissed her lips, and the famous scene of them exchanging glances appeared again.
She never expected that Kangxi would kiss her. Didn't he mind?
"Jiaojiao!"
He gently bit her lip, and Harigana shrank her neck in pain, trying to get away, but the space was limited and there was nowhere to escape, so she could only let Kangxi bully her.
"pain!"
Her voice was soft and gentle, filled with a melancholy tone.
"I don't mind you! Close your eyes!"
Harigana instinctively closed his eyes, but when he realized why he should listen to his arrangements, his lips were sealed again: "Don't make eye contact anymore, I want to laugh."
boom!
Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she clung to Kangxi's robes, letting him take her as he pleased.
"Jiaojiao!"
He wiped the glistening tears from the corner of her mouth, his voice tender and affectionate, as if a thousand words of love were gathered in that sweet, gentle voice.
"Um!"
Harigana responded, having already forgotten how Kangxi had teased her earlier, and tugged at his dragon robe as she looked at him.
"good!"
He held her tightly, his lips landing on her forehead, not leaving.
The Qianqing Palace was warm and cozy, but the Cining Palace was like the calm before a storm; apart from Sumalagu, no one dared to go in to serve anymore.
"Su Ma, what time is it?"
Bumbutai felt sleepy as she thought about it and decided to rest for a while, but ended up falling into a deep sleep.
Seeing that it was getting late, they summoned Sumalagu for questioning.
"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, it is already three-quarters past Shen Shi (3:45 PM)!"
"What?"
As soon as Su Ma La Gu finished speaking, the Empress Dowager looked at her in surprise: "Three quarters past Shen Shi? I slept for almost two hours?"
She sat up, wondering if Emperor Kangxi had already come, but Su Ma said no.
"Empress Dowager, please be careful!"
Sumalagu supported Bumbutai, who was almost unable to stand, her eyes filled with worry.
"Su Ma, since the Emperor is busy, I will go to see him myself. It's been a long time since I've been to the Qianqing Palace!"
Sitting in front of her dressing table, looking at the person in the bronze mirror, she was momentarily stunned; she seemed to have really aged a lot.
The former high spirits are gone, and now all that's left is scheming and calculation. Even the bond between grandfather and grandson seems to be on the verge of collapse.
Why did things come to this?
He reached out and touched his cheek, as if it all started when he went to the borderlands, from the moment the emperor met that lowly woman from the Borchijin tribe.
Xuan Ye was a filial son, and even if he was dissatisfied with her behavior, he would not treat her like that.
So the reason he hasn't come to see her today must be because that bitch in the Imperial Study is bewitching him and preventing Xuan Ye from coming to see her.
Bumbutai grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her features in the bronze mirror turned fierce. She felt she couldn't drag things out any longer.
As long as that bitch is no longer in this world, everything will go back to the way it was before.
"Su Ma, let's go!"
The Empress Dowager stood up, having made her decision, and felt much more relaxed.
She was able to kill the Hesheli clan and the Niohuru clan back then, but now she's just a lowly woman from the Borchijin tribe without any family support. She has plenty of ways to deal with her.
"yes!"
Sumalagu, supported by Bumbutai, walked out of the palace gate and boarded the sedan chair, heading towards the Qianqing Palace.
At this time, Kangxi had already received the message from his secret guards and was sitting firmly on the dragon throne waiting for the Empress Dowager, while Harigana had already gone to the Empress Dowager's side.
Each family should resolve its own affairs; she doesn't have the time to waste on old demons and snakes.
Moreover, she always felt that the visitors had ill intentions, and she was not going to suffer any injustice here.
You can't hit them, you can't scold them, and you can't even talk back, so why bother meeting them?
"Li Dequan, how's the back gate setup going? Have you found someone to guard it?"
Emperor Kangxi noticed that it was getting late and called Li Dequan in to inquire about the progress.
"Your Majesty, the door is already being pressed, and it should be finished in about fifteen minutes."
The guards have been arranged; in addition to eunuchs, there are also Imperial Guards on duty to ensure that no one other than the Emperor and Empress can enter or leave.
