Harigana returned to the hall, pulled the blanket over himself, and most importantly, covered his head completely.
How could she have said such a thing in a moment of madness? It's so embarrassing.
[Waaaaah! I'm never looking at those awful picture books again! They're so dirty, so incredibly dirty!]
Kangxi quickly regained his composure; after all, he was the emperor, and he simply hadn't expected Harigana to say such a thing. However, remembering that she had just run back, he immediately stood up and chased after her.
"Jiaojiao!"
Seeing her burying herself in the blankets like an ostrich, Kangxi wanted to scold her but couldn't bring himself to say it. He quickly coaxed her, "Jiaojiao, let's get this case out, okay? Covering yourself up like this will only hurt you!"
Harigana had already mentally prepared himself. Thinking of how Kangxi had acted just now, he figured that Kangxi liked talking to him like that! However, instead of immediately letting go of the blanket, he tightened his grip, as if he really didn't want to communicate with anyone.
Kangxi knew that Harigana was easily embarrassed and that she had probably spoken without thinking because she was angry with him. So now he had no intention of scolding her, and even felt a little guilty for teasing Harigana, thinking that she wouldn't have said those things that made him feel so bad!
"My dear, it was Xuan Ye's fault!"
Now, Kangxi really takes admitting his mistakes as a daily routine. At first, he felt very awkward saying this, after all, he was the emperor, and even if he really said or did something wrong, who would dare to say anything?
But ever since I started liking something on HariGana, I've not only learned to apologize, but now I've also learned to reflect.
Harigana relaxed his grip on the blanket. Kangxi quickly scooped him out and held him in his arms.
"Jiaojiao, why are you just like that rabbit outside? You want to crawl under the covers whenever you're unhappy!"
Kangxi held her in one arm and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead with the other. He felt a pang of heartache but dared not scold her. He could only tell her in another way that her habit was not good.
Harigana had completely prepared himself mentally by this point, but when he heard Ka mention the rabbit again, that strange feeling almost resurfaced.
"Stop talking!"
Harigana reached out and covered Kangxi's mouth, afraid that he would say something else.
Kangxi was also afraid that Hariga would be angry and embarrassed, so he immediately nodded to indicate that he would not say those things again.
"Xuan Ye, didn't you say you sent a letter to my mother? Have they replied?"
Harigana was indeed puzzled. She had left them a letter before leaving, mentioning the smallpox vaccination. Regardless of whether they knew she was pregnant, they should have replied! But almost two months had passed, and there was still no news!
Kangxi's eyes were dark. He had planned to tell Harigana about this after returning to the palace, but he never expected that his darling would ask this question now.
Harigana, seeing Kangxi's expression, knew something must have happened. His heart tightened, and he quickly asked, "What happened? Has something happened to my mother and Abu?"
"No, don't make wild guesses!"
Kangxi quickly embraced the person in his arms, sighed, and stopped hiding anything: "Jiaojiao, I'm only telling you about this, but you can't let anyone else know for now, understand?"
Harigana initially wondered if the two of them had some kind of illness, but seeing how cautious Kangxi was, it seemed that things were not so simple.
"Hmm, I won't tell you, just tell me quickly!" Harigana hugged Kangxi's neck, his face full of worry.
"Jiaojiao, it's your Egeqi! Your Egeqi escaped while the guards weren't looking during the escort!"
Harigana's eyes widened. Did Haburi really have such great abilities? How was he able to escape right under the guards' noses?
"Where is she?"
Harigana was a little nervous. After all, Haburi's expression that day, as if he wanted to kill her, didn't seem fake. It wasn't that she wanted to kill everyone, but if Tongjia and the others found out about this person, who knew what irreversible things might happen.
Most importantly, because Baoli Ri and Saienjiya have a very good relationship, these children know a lot of things! If Habri harbors resentment and reveals some of the tribe's secrets, then the Borchijin tribe will face a great disaster!
Kangxi didn't want to tell Harigana about this because he was afraid she would be heartbroken and worry too much, which would hurt her.
But since the words had already been spoken, he had no choice but to make everything clear. After all, he absolutely would not let Habril live!
"Jiaojiao, listen to me first, don't let your mind wander!"
Kangxi called out to Harigana, who was still lost in her thoughts. Once she looked at him, he told her everything that had happened recently.
Habril was indeed daring. Taking advantage of the fact that the guards couldn't follow her while she was relieving herself, she quietly ran away into the deep mountains and forests! By the time the guards realized what was happening, she had already disappeared into the woods!
Logically, someone like Habril should wear bracelets or anklets, but the silver given to him by Baoliri and the others proved invaluable at this moment. Habril took out several silver notes and gave them the only condition: that they not wear those things.
The guards, greedy for money, didn't take any precautions because Habril was a girl.
"Has it been found yet?"
Harigana looked at Kangxi nervously. It had been almost two months. He needed to see her alive or dead! She knew Haburi; since he had dared to escape, he wouldn't put himself in danger again.
Emperor Kangxi shook his head, wondering how capable this Habril was, as he hadn't shown his face for two months.
Suddenly, he remembered the brown bear attack on them and was somewhat shocked.
Harigana had been keeping a close eye on Kangxi, so she noticed even the slightest change in his expression!
"Xuan Ye, has something come to mind?"
Kangxi nodded. Although he didn't want to upset Harigana, if this were true, not only Haburi, but also Baoliri and even the Borchijin tribe would suffer.
Therefore, for the sake of Harigana, regardless of whether things turned out the way he thought, Haburi's life could not be spared.
"Jiaojiao, have you ever wondered why that bear turned around and ran towards us?"
