As soon as Harigana finished speaking, Kangxi pulled him into his arms and had him straddle his lap.
"Jiaojiao, the mastermind is a Southeast Asian."
When Emperor Kangxi saw the dossier that Wei Yi and Li Dequan had given him, he was so angry that he threw a huge tantrum in the imperial study.
If we weren't afraid of alerting the enemy, we would have already raided the homes of several officials.
"Southeast Asians?"
Harigana paused, if he remembered correctly, this name should refer to Southeast Asia.
Have foreigners already infiltrated this early?
"Yes, they are from Southeast Asia."
They entered from the Vietnamese border and slowly infiltrated various parts of the Qing Dynasty, not only to earn money but also to capture many beautiful women from the Qing court.
Speaking of this, Kangxi's anger, which had finally subsided, flared up again.
Because the women of the Qing Dynasty were obedient, they tried every means to capture them.
Yesterday I considered many possibilities, but I never imagined they came for Harigana.
"ah?"
This goal seems a bit beyond her scope; she doesn't quite understand it.
"Jiaojiao, I'll tell you when we get back. I'll handle it."
This could potentially trigger a war. After returning tomorrow, do not leave the palace for a while.
Harigana nodded: "Oh, okay."
If she doesn't want to come out, then she doesn't have to. Anyway, Seneca and the others aren't here, so there's no point in her coming out.
Seeing the obedient woman, Kangxi finally felt at ease.
"Jiaojiao, from now on I'm going to keep a close eye on you."
After saying that, he tightened his grip on her waist, then kissed her neck.
Those people are incredibly audacious; they actually dared to plot against the Empress of a nation. They're practically courting death.
As for Vietnam, it was just a vassal state, yet it dared to collude with those people.
Since they're courting death, he'll grant their wish.
Harigana seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to.
"Hmm!"
Kangxi's kiss was very domineering; she was almost suffocating.
"Jiaojiao, you are mine."
He released the person from his arms, and seeing her panting heavily, his possessiveness was practically overflowing in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're mine. Not just in this life, but in the next life too, for all eternity."
She finished speaking in one breath, then leaned obediently against Kangxi's chest, afraid that he would continue later.
He said, "Why are there such modern things here, and it's those people who are in charge?"
When Kangxi heard her say "forever and ever," the corners of his mouth lifted slightly: "Jiaojiao, it means we'll be together for all eternity."
He was ten years older than her in this life, and they had to go together when they died, so that in the next life they wouldn't be so different and could be together with Harigana much earlier.
The next day, after returning to the palace, Kangxi got busy again, and she also saw the dossier.
Is this tiny, run-down place already harboring such grand ambitions?
"Jiaojiao, I'm going to call directly."
Vietnam couldn't possibly be unaware of those people's situation, and without their help, it would have been absolutely impossible to take so many people away.
"We must fight! We must fight! And we must fight them to the death!"
She knows history; that war was brutal and had a long timeline.
If we can take them down now, we may be able to avoid that war in the future.
With Dai Zi there, they had a significant advantage in weaponry.
Besides, they've bullied her like this, how can she not get revenge?
"Okay, I'll listen to Jiaojiao."
Seeing Harigana's angry expression, Kangxi quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Jiaojiao, you will definitely win."
"I'll provide the silver, is 500,000 taels enough?"
Emperor Kangxi was speechless after hearing her words and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Even an emperor wasn't this domineering!
"Isn't that enough? How much do you need?"
Receiving no reply, Harigana looked at him in confusion: "Seventy? One hundred?"
Emperor Kangxi quickly shook his head, saying that there was no need for her to contribute so much; the national treasury should also contribute a portion.
"Jiaojiao, that's enough."
He knew she wasn't short of money, but to casually mention a million taels of silver like that, did he even care about his reputation?
Harigana didn't press the issue further, but bit her lip and asked, "Xuan Ye, why didn't anyone report this to the authorities for so long?"
Logically speaking, if someone goes missing, shouldn't it be reported to the authorities?
No matter when, you should always look for someone who has disappeared, right?
When word spreads like wildfire, it will naturally gain attention as more people participate.
Even if women's chastity is valued at this time, there are always leaks, so why is there no news at all?
Furthermore, Harigana immediately sat up straight and looked at Kangxi: "Xuanye, isn't it a bit too easy to find out the truth after just one night?"
Kangxi tapped the tip of her nose: "Jiaojiao, Wei Yi and the others' information is accurate."
If it's something as in-depth as what Uya did, taking many years, then it might take them quite a while.
But these people aren't worth investigating at all; I feel like I'm wasting even a whole night in the capital."
Harigana pursed his lips and didn't say anything, but he was secretly thinking to himself.
Kangxi regretted it as soon as he finished speaking; why did he have to bring up Uya at this time?
He glanced at her cautiously, and judging from her darting eyes, he knew she was definitely making fun of him.
But let them make up whatever they want; it's better than getting angry with him because of Uya.
However, his secret guards weren't as capable back then as they are now, and since this Nanyang envoy had just arrived in Beijing and didn't have any connections, it was inevitable that he could find out the truth in such a short time.
