Chapter 386

Kangxi was still hesitating whether to tell Ji Nai the truth. Ji Nai had already lay down and advised him to lie down quickly as well.

After Kangxi lay down, he habitually wanted to hold Ji Nai in his arms, but he found that this time, Ji Nai was lying very far away from him.

Perhaps feeling Kangxi's hand reaching out, Ji Nai explained, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well. I am worried that I will not sleep well in the second half of the night. I would rather not stay next to you. You go to sleep first."

Ji Nai's tone was respectful and polite, yet strange and distant.

How could Kangxi tolerate this? If he and Ji Nai were to get along in this way, they should have been very close. It had been like this in the past and would not change in the future.

Kangxi turned over and pressed Ji Nai under him.

Before she could say anything, Ji Nai's cautious voice came from below, "Your Majesty, I am not feeling well and cannot serve you in bed."

Kangxi laughed angrily, "In your heart, I am such a beast. I knew you... but what else could I do to you?"

"Then why are you suppressing me?"

Kangxi held Ji Nai's earlobe in his mouth and closed his eyes. "When no one is around, especially when we are intimate, you always call yourself mine."

Even though Ji Nai knew Kangxi's temper well enough and was aware of the emperor's arrogance and dominance, she was still angered by Kangxi's words, "I dare not."

"Ah!" Ji Nai exclaimed.

Kangxi actually bit her!

No, such actions are fun when they are in a relationship, and can be seen as intimacy with a sense of punishment in normal times, but now, they are in a cold war.

"It's my fault for treating you like that just now." Kangxi apologized dryly.

He knew that he had overreacted, and in the eyes of Ji Nai, who knew nothing, this was an extremely hurtful and cold act. He wanted to explain and tell Ji Nai that he did not care about her or that he no longer paid attention to her.

But Kangxi didn't know what to say. After all, the truth of the matter was even more cruel than what happened tonight.

He was not sure if he could bear the consequences after Ji Nai knew the truth. Could Ji Nai understand him? Would Ji Nai be willing to accept it? Could his relationship with Ji Nai remain the same as before?

The fear of the unknown made the young emperor stop in his tracks.

In the darkness, Ji Nai, who had been waiting, had the light in her eyes completely extinguished. She knew that her relationship with Kangxi would end tonight.

Her heart began to ache again, but Ji Nai gritted her teeth and endured it without making a sound. Even though her nails had dug into her flesh, the wet touch made her realize that she might be bleeding, but she just pulled her hands back into the quilt.

The man's body was wrapped around Ji Nai, emitting heat continuously, but Ji Nai still felt very cold.

The next day, even though Kangxi really wanted to know Ji Nai's mood and whether what happened last night was over, he still had to go to court and Ji Nai hadn't woken up yet, so he moved very quietly when he got up to wash.

Kangxi thought that since they stayed up so late last night and Ji Nai was not in good health, he should rest more.

But it was this action that made Kangxi miss his last chance.

After the court session, Kangxi subconsciously walked towards the back hall, but after a few steps, he suddenly stopped and went to the imperial study. Kangxi did not dare to see Ji Nai, but was worried about her health, so he told Liang Jiugong:

"Tell the Imperial Hospital that I have handed over Rongpin's body to them and ask them to cure her heart disease. If they need any medicine, go directly to my private storehouse and get it, and then send it to the Imperial Hospital."

Liang Jiugong agreed. He could already imagine the expressions of the people in the Imperial Hospital after receiving this decree. The world is so unpredictable. Who would have thought that the Rongpin, who had always been smooth sailing, would suffer from a heart disease because of a dream.

It can’t be a witch... No, no, no, I can’t think about it any further.

Liang Jiugong, who had a hidden chatterbox nature, was muttering to himself and was about to go to the Imperial Hospital in person. Since this matter concerned Master Rongpin, it would be more reassuring for him to go and do it in person.

Then, Liang Jiugong, who had just walked out of the imperial study, saw Wei Zhu rushing over. Without even having time to inform anyone, she rushed into the imperial study like a gust of wind.

Liang Jiugong's face turned black. Although they were both the stewards of the Qianqing Palace, they were at least the chief and the deputy. But this kid didn't take him seriously at all.

Besides, what big deal could it be? This kid actually didn't even follow the rules. If he is reprimanded by the Emperor, even he, his superior, will be implicated.

Liang Jiugong complained angrily and glanced in the direction where Wei Zhu came from. It was this glance that made Liang Jiugong's eyes widen.

Could it be that something happened to Master Rongpin? No wonder Wei Zhu looked unhappy, as if she was being chased by a ghost.

Fortunately, he followed the Emperor to court. Even if something really happened, it had nothing to do with Liang Jiugong. Instead, that old guy Wei Zhu would be in trouble.

Before Liang Jiugong could gloat over his misfortune, he was kicked by Kangxi.

Seeing His Majesty running to the back hall in a hurry, Liang Jiugong, who had just gotten up, scratched his ears and asked the person next to him, "Did I hear it right?"

"You heard it right. His Majesty said that if anything happens to Concubine Rong, you'd better watch out for your head." The one who answered was Liang Jiugong's godson, who was almost crying with anxiety.

"Oh, my godfather, Eunuch Wei has already gone far away with His Majesty, why aren't you anxious?"

Liang Jiugong knocked on the young eunuch's head, venting all his anger at being kicked by the Emperor on his godson, and then said unhappily:

"Hurry, is it any use to be anxious? We don't know anything right now. If we don't clarify the matter, and rashly approach His Majesty, what if we get tricked by that old guy Wei Zhu?"

At this point, Liang Jiugong got angry, "It's because you guys are useless. Even if you put them together, you are no match for Wei Zhu. I follow His Majesty to court, can't you help me look after the Palace of Heavenly Purity? Regardless of what you do, at least don't leave me in the dark, right?"

"Grandpa Liang, I know what happened."

Liang Jiugong looked at a skinny eunuch in the corner, seeing him facing the unfriendly eyes of his godsons, and said:

"Empress Rong asked the imperial physician again, who said that the pain from the nightmare was so severe that her nails cut the palm of her hand. The wound was a little deep, and no one noticed it at first, so she bled a lot.

It was only when Nanny Li saw that Concubine Rong had not woken up for a long time and went to check on her that she noticed that her face was too pale, and that’s when she discovered it. Most of the imperial doctors who came last night have arrived.”

Although the young eunuch spoke haltingly, perhaps because he was a little nervous, he was clear and organized, and quickly explained the whole story.
