Chapter 55 Follow-up
"Liang Jiugong, get in here!"
The next second, Kangxi's furious voice reached Liang Jiugong's ears.
Well, he should just worry about himself first.
Liang Jiugong flicked the whisk in his hand, took a deep breath, and walked into the hall with an attitude of being ready to die.
In the hall, Kangxi was standing in front of the desk with his back to him.
Liang Jiugong's heart skipped a beat when he looked at the beads of varying sizes on the ground.
He walked cautiously to Kangxi and said, "Your Majesty, I am here."
"Have you sent anyone to follow her?" Kangxi's low voice sounded.
"Ah?" Liang Jiugong was stunned by Kangxi's nonsensical question and was unable to react.
Kangxi was very dissatisfied with Liang Jiugong's reaction. He turned around and glanced at Liang Jiugong, "I asked you if you sent someone to follow Concubine Jin? Is it hard to understand what I mean?" Kangxi changed his tone and became dangerous, "Did you let her run back alone?"
It seemed that Kangxi would get angry as long as Liang Jiugong's answer did not satisfy him.
Liang Jiugong felt like he was about to break out in a cold sweat on this spring day. "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I will go and arrange for someone right away. I will go right away!"
He bent over and retreated out of the hall.
Kangxi looked at Liang Jiugong's hunched appearance, took two steps forward, and kicked him, "Go quickly! What are you dawdling about here? You have no manners! Send someone else to clean up the palace."
After saying this, Kangxi strode out.
The eunuchs guarding the door lowered their heads, fearing that they would incur the emperor's wrath.
When Kangxi walked away, Wei Zhu quickly slipped in, helped Liang Jiugong up, and patted the dust off his body, "Master, are you okay?"
Liang Jiugong picked up the whisk on the ground and said, "Didn't you hear what the emperor said just now? Hurry up and follow Concubine Jin. If you wait until Concubine Jin returns to Changchun Palace, we will be in trouble!"
"Yes, yes, Master. I'll go right away!"
Wei Zhu hurried out.
Not until Wei Zhu walked away did Liang Jiugong straighten up with a grimace.
Your Majesty's move was really heavy-handed.
Liang Jiugong patted the shoe prints on his body, straightened his clothes, put the whisk on his wrist, then raised his head and walked out of the hall.
When he is away from home, he cannot lose face as the chief eunuch of the Qing Palace.
After instructing the eunuch at the door to go into the hall and clean up, Liang Jiugong turned around to look for Kangxi.
Wei Zhu jogged all the way and finally saw Yuying's shadow at the gate of Yikun Palace.
Yuying turned a deaf ear to the greetings from all around her and just kept walking forward, wanting to return to Changchun Palace as soon as possible.
The palace servants were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
Wei Zhu followed Yuying quietly until he saw her enter Changchun Palace and then went back to report.
After Yuying returned to Changchun Palace, she went straight to her west side hall.
It was not until he saw Qingtao standing at the door that the tears that he had been holding back all the way finally fell from his eyes.
"Wow...Qingtao!" Yuying ran up and hugged Qingtao.
Maybe everyone has a fledgling complex. Qingtao is the first person Yuying meets after she travels through time. She can hold it back in front of everyone else, but she can't do it when she sees Qingtao.
"Wuwuwuwu... Qingtao, I want to go home."
Qingtao quickly brought her young mistress to the couch, asked Yuying to sit down, and took out a handkerchief to gently wipe away Yuying's tears.
"My lady, why are you back? Aren't you going to sleep with me today?" Qing Tao asked in confusion.
"Wow... No need to sleep with me anymore. Not anymore."
"Ah? My dear, have you displeased the emperor?" Qingtao thought that Yuying was driven out by Kangxi. "My dear, don't be sad. The emperor is just angry for a moment. When he calms down, you can admit your mistake and everything will be fine."
"I'm not wrong!" When the sensitive spot was touched, Yuying's voice suddenly became louder.
Qingtao had no choice but to comfort Mao: "Okay, okay, my lady, you are right. Don't cry, or your eyes will be swollen when you wake up tomorrow." Qingtao tried to wipe Yuying's tears, but she couldn't wipe them away.
"I was not wrong!" Yuying curled her lips, but at least she stopped crying.
Seeing that Yuying finally stopped crying, Qingtao asked Pei'er to get a basin of hot water to wipe Yuying's face.
After a while of busy work, Yuying finally calmed down.
She looked sad, "Qingtao, I miss home."
Seeing that Yuying mentioned missing home twice tonight, Qingtao thought she missed Juechan Mansion.
Qing Tao thought for a moment and said, "My lady, we are in the palace now and cannot leave at will. If you really miss Master Juechan, I will go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask if I can send a letter home."
Yuying didn't want to go back to this home, but she didn't know how to explain to Qingtao that her home was not here, not anywhere here.
It seemed as though she could not return home.
She looked at Qingtao and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Qingtao waited patiently beside Yuying, waiting for her to nod before she would go.
But in the end, Yuying shook her head and said, "Forget it, Qingtao, go down and have a rest. I'm tired."
"My lady, do you really not need me to accompany you?" Qing Tao looked worried.
"I'm really fine now, Qing Tao."
"Then I will go down first. I will sleep on the couch outside today. You must call me if you need anything." Qing Tao repeatedly reminded, "You should also go to bed early. Don't worry, my lady. The emperor dotes on you so much, he will definitely not blame you. Don't think too much."
Yuying nodded, not wanting to explain any further to Qingtao. She had challenged Kangxi's authority today, which was already a huge offense to Kangxi. She might be moved to the cold palace early tomorrow morning.
She just gave Qingtao a comforting smile to show that she understood.
Tonight, the noise coming from the west side hall startled Concubine An who was sleeping in the bedroom.
"Nianxue, what was that noise outside just now?"
"My lady, did I wake you up? I will go and ask Concubine Jin to be quiet."
"Noble Lady Jin? What happened to Noble Lady Jin? Shouldn't she be in the Palace of Heavenly Purity right now?"
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jin was probably driven out by the Emperor. She is crying non-stop in her own palace."
"What?" Anpin stood up and was about to get out of bed, "Nianxue, turn on the lamp."
"Your Majesty! Why did you get up? Be careful not to catch a cold." Nian Xue quickly put the cloak beside her on Concubine An and lit the candle.
"Nianxue, send someone to investigate and see if you can find out what happened in the Palace of Heavenly Purity tonight?"
"Yes, I will go right away. Madam, please lie back on the bed first. I will call you when I get the news."
"No need, I'm not sleepy. Just go and come back quickly."
Nianxue quietly left Changchun Palace.
Concubine An quietly looked at the flickering candlelight and waited in the hall.
"My lady, I'm back!"
"How is it? Have you found out?" Concubine An was like a puppet with a soul injected into it, and suddenly became lively.
Nian Xue shook her head, and Concubine An pursed her lips, "That's all."
"But I found out that when Concubine Jin came back, Wei Zhu from the Palace of Heavenly Purity seemed to have been following her until Concubine Jin entered the Palace of Changchun."
"It doesn't look like she was kicked out of the Palace of Heavenly Purity, does it?" Nian Xue concluded hesitantly.
"Really? That's enough." Concubine An regained her usual expression, "Of course she wasn't kicked out. Nianxue, let's wait and see. Concubine Jin will still be in favor for a long time."
"Empress." Nian Xue felt sorry for her own queen again.
