Harigana immediately shook his head: "Of course I don't want to, you're mine."
If you find someone else, I will be very, very sad.
Her hands had been released, and as soon as she finished speaking, she hugged his waist tightly.
The sound grew louder and louder, from silent tears to loud sobs.
Kangxi's eyes were also red, and his voice trembled slightly: "Jiaojiao, then why did you write those things?"
At first, he thought that Harigana was genuinely angry with him and was giving him the cold shoulder.
Looking at her now, I understand that she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself and would reveal her reluctance to part with him, which would make him sad.
If something unexpected were to happen that day, he might blame himself.
His darling is so wonderful, what has he done to deserve her?
"Xuan Ye, I...I am...I am..."
Harigana's voice choked with emotion as she looked up at him with her little head: "When you like someone, what you want most is for them to be happy. I want to make you happy."
Without the slightest hesitation, Kangxi kissed those red lips that he loved so much, with great force, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
The person, who was already having difficulty breathing from crying so hard, now had no chance to breathe at all.
Her limbs felt weak and her head was spinning. She leaned limply against Kangxi, letting him bully her.
"Jiaojiao!"
He released the person in his arms and waited until her breathing became even before saying, "From now on, don't think about leaving me alone. I can't live without you."
Harigana gasped for breath, nodded groggily, and then said in a daze, "Xuan Ye, I think I'm going to faint!" After saying that, he fainted in Kangxi's arms.
"Jiaojiao!" Kangxi shouted, "Li Dequan, call the imperial physician, quickly, call the imperial physician!"
Having just finished discussing matters of life and death, the person had now fainted, causing Kangxi's heart to clench.
With trembling hands, she carried the person towards the bed, her steps unsteady, barely managing to stay upright and not fall to the ground.
Li Dequan and Du Lan listened to the crying inside with worried expressions. They were fine just a moment ago, but suddenly they started crying.
Just when the noise finally subsided, they heard someone calling for the imperial physician.
Dulan was even more anxious. He turned around, fetched a basin of water, took a clean handkerchief, and went straight into the inner hall, regardless of whether Kangxi had called for anyone.
"emperor!"
He wrung out a cloth, intending to wipe Harigana, but Kangxi snatched it away.
"Jiaojiao, don't scare me!"
Dulan was also anxious, but could only watch helplessly.
Fortunately, the imperial physician was in the next courtyard and arrived very quickly.
Zhao Rongxi hadn't been this nervous in a long time. He walked into the inner hall and, as usual, went straight to the bedside to take the patient's pulse.
At this moment, Kangxi could hardly notice that he hadn't bowed and greeted him. He was nervously squatting by the bedside, waiting for the imperial physician's diagnosis.
Zhao Rongxi thought that the lady's old illness had relapsed, but he found that her pulse was actually very good.
He withdrew his hand and knelt on the ground, saying directly without Kangxi asking, "Your Majesty, the Empress just couldn't catch her breath and fainted."
She'll wake up in a little while; she'll be fine.
As Li Dequan just said, this lady cried very loudly. Now, looking closely at her swollen lips, it's easy to guess what happened.
Kangxi paused, looking down at Harigana, and waved for them all to leave.
"Jiaojiao! You scared me to death!"
His face only started to turn red when no one was around.
He wiped her face with a handkerchief, and looking at her swollen lips, he felt extremely guilty.
After seeing Zhao Rongxi off, Li Dequan returned to continue his duty, but seeing Du Lan looking unhappy, pouting and drawing circles with her head down, he sighed inwardly.
What a day it is!
Harigana woke up very quickly, in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Jiaojiao, you're awake. Are you feeling unwell?"
Kangxi's expression was somewhat unnatural.
"Xuan Ye!"
Her voice was a little hoarse, and her lips hurt a little when she spoke: "I don't feel unwell, I just want to drink water."
He tried to get up, but Kangxi stopped him, saying, "I'll get you some water. You stay lying down and don't move."
Harigana obediently stayed still, and indeed, he did not feel any discomfort.
After drinking some water, her throat felt better, and she leaned against him: "Xuan Ye, what's wrong with me?"
Kangxi paused in his arms, his face turning red again: "Jiaojiao, the imperial physician said you've been a little tired lately. Just get some rest, there's nothing seriously wrong."
Harigana looked at him suspiciously, and his guilty look clearly indicated that he wasn't the person he was talking about.
She stared intently at him, determined to find out why.
"Jiaojiao!"
Helpless, Kangxi pulled her into his arms and said, "Jiaojiao, the imperial physician said you couldn't catch your breath, which is why you fainted."
"I'm not lying to you. Dulan and the others were all there when Zhao Rongxi said those things."
Harigana was taken aback, and his expression immediately became unnatural.
"It's all your fault!"
He muttered to himself, "No wonder he didn't say anything. She's probably the only person in history to faint from a kiss."
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. I'll be gentler next time."
He thought it was just an accident, but later, every time he felt uncomfortable from Kangxi's soft and lingering kisses, Harigana hated himself for fainting. Why didn't he hold on a little longer?
Li Dequan and Du Lan looked worried, but the two people inside were very happy.
Time flew by and it was just a few days before Yinreng's birthday. Harigana had already spoken with the Empress Dowager and asked her to take charge of these matters.
After all, he was the crown prince, and their relationship was not good. If something went wrong, it wouldn't be a matter of whether Kangxi believed her or not, but rather that outsiders would have many speculations about the mother and her two children.
To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, it would be best for the Empress Dowager to preside over the proceedings.
"Harigana, are you really not going to hold a 100-day celebration for the two children?"
The Empress Dowager now thinks she's increasingly foolish.
If it were someone else, they would definitely try to throw a grand 100-day celebration for their child.
But this silly girl, in order to avoid suspicion, refused to do it.
“Mother, it’s just a banquet. What difference does it make whether we hold it or not? The child is too young to remember it. It’s just a fun time for adults.”
Not only is it a waste of time and money, but neither of them seems to appreciate it. What's the point?
The Empress Dowager shook her head, then asked in a low voice, "Wouldn't giving it to the Crown Prince be a waste of resources and manpower?"
Harigana glared at her quietly and replied in a low voice, "Mother, the prince is almost a ten-year-old boy already."
Moreover, he is the crown prince of the country, representing the face of the Qing Dynasty. How can this be considered a waste of money?
Besides, his mother is gone. If they don't even celebrate his birthday, wouldn't he be heartbroken?
Harigana's words warmed the Empress Dowager's heart, but thinking of what Yinreng had done, she sighed softly, "Alas!"
He looked at the Empress Dowager, puzzled, but did not ask any further questions.
As for the reason, it's easy to guess, but let them think what they want.
The more they think she's a fool, the more advantageous it is for the mother and her two children.
The real enjoyment is yet to come; let's not dwell on this fleeting pleasure.
