Such a good person, Kangxi was even more reluctant to let go.
After staying in the Wutong Garden for more than ten days, Youqing returned, and Kangxi knew as soon as she came back.
After Youqing returned, the head manager came over.
"Master, you're finally back."
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
"There are no troubles, I just want to tell the boss about the profits of the past few months."
It's good that you're alright.
After the head manager finished speaking, Youqing was very satisfied with the profits of Wutong Garden. Before leaving, the head manager suddenly said, "By the way, boss, a few days ago, dozens of people came to Wutong Garden. They seem to be quite extraordinary. They have been staying for more than ten days. I wonder when they will be able to leave."
Wutong Garden is expensive, and it's not that there aren't people who particularly like this place, but usually, a few days is enough. Dozens of people stay for more than ten days in a row, and it seems like they want to stay longer. They come and go in the courtyard every day, acting mysteriously, which really makes people curious.
"Since they paid real money to stay here, it doesn't matter how many days they stay, as long as they pay the full amount."
“What the master says is true.”
That evening, Youqing was about to rest when there was a knock on the courtyard gate. She wasn't used to having people around, so she was alone in the courtyard at night. She went to open the gate, and the instant she opened it, Youqing thought she was seeing things. She quickly slammed the gate shut, muttering, "I'm dreaming, having a nightmare, it must be a dream."
Kangxi, who was separated from the emperor by a wooden door, heard the whole conversation and couldn't help but rub his forehead. Had he become a nightmare now?
"Youqing, open the door."
Upon hearing Kangxi's voice, Youqing hypnotized herself, telling herself it was a hallucination, a hallucination.
But it was clearly not a hallucination. Kangxi's appearance was not that of a standard pretty boy in the modern entertainment industry, but you can't say he was ugly, and his voice was also very pleasant.
"Youqing, open the door quickly."
Kangxi repeated it again.
Kangxi pounded on the door loudly, and only then did Youqing open it. She couldn't deceive herself any longer.
"Long live... Your Majesty?"
Seeing her uncertain tone, Kangxi laughed in exasperation: "What, you've only been away from the palace for a few years, and you've already forgotten what I look like?"
She certainly hadn't forgotten, it's just that it was really hard to recognize.
Kangxi went straight in, and Youqing followed behind him, step by step, like a little maid. She was afraid! Life was so good now, and she was really afraid that Kangxi would get angry and kill her.
In fact, she committed the crime of deceiving the emperor.
After Kangxi entered, he sat down directly. Youqing dared not sit and could only stand. Kangxi spoke: "You have been living quite comfortably these past few years."
It is indeed very moisturizing.
Youqing lowered her head, not daring to look up.
"Look up and look at me."
Youqing slowly raised her head and glanced at Kangxi out of the corner of her eye. He had no expression, so Youqing immediately lowered her head again.
He chickened out at this point, but faking his death to leave the palace was quite courageous.
"Tell me how you escaped?"
There's really no way to explain this about Youqing.
Seeing that she remained silent, Kangxi stopped beating around the bush: "I know you are somewhat unusual, but I didn't expect you to be thinking about leaving the palace. Haven't I treated you well?"
Good, how could it not be good? It's the best she could ever have in the harem. It's just that this kind of good isn't what she wanted, and she's not fortunate enough to enjoy it.
"Your Majesty, you are naturally very kind to me, but I simply do not wish to stay in the palace."
"What's in the palace that makes you so uncomfortable?"
Youqing fell silent. How could she tell him that she couldn't bear the lack of personal freedom, nor could she bear sharing a man with many women?
She accepted it, loathed herself, despised herself, and then thought about escaping; she simply made what she thought was the right choice.
"The palace is too small, and my heart is too big to contain me. Since His Majesty has found me, I only have one life. If His Majesty has the ability to take it, I will accept my fate."
With the system around, she can just keep running away. As for her life, she would never give it away so easily; she was just saying that.
"When did I ever say I wanted your life?"
Don't you want her dead?
"Come back to the capital with me."
Youqing immediately shook her head: "That's impossible, I won't go back."
"Why?"
"Since His Majesty was able to find me, he must have already investigated me. I am living a very comfortable life in Yunnan. I don't have to worry about being assassinated every day, I don't have to live in fear, I don't have to watch a group of women vent their resentment on me every day, I don't have to worry about the Imperial Household Department changing its mind, and I don't have to worry about losing favor and having my people bullied. Isn't this good?"
She lived her comfortable life and even generated some revenue for the Qing Dynasty, while he returned to his capital to be the supreme emperor, with twelve concubines to choose from.
"I can guarantee that you will not suffer any injustice."
Youqing couldn't help but chuckle to herself. A guarantee? Who would believe such a guarantee?
The emperor with the most children in history, would he guarantee she wouldn't be mistreated in the harem? That's ridiculous, you can't even joke about it.
"Your Majesty, please stop talking. Do whatever you want with me if you have the ability. Just go back to the capital."
At worst, we'll fight to the death; who's afraid of who?
Emperor Kangxi never expected things to turn out this way.
"I will not be leaving for the time being."
"Then I hope His Majesty will have a pleasant time here."
Youqing then kicked him out.
After Kangxi left, Youqing couldn't help but ask the system, "How did he find out I was still alive?"
