Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!

"Where is Shi Yiyao now?" Shi Nanxi asked as they walked. Xiao Ruzi followed beside him and replied in a low voice, "She went to the ear room in the back hall." That was the place for changing clothes.

After hearing this, Shi Nanxi walked straight towards the back hall. Just as she turned a corridor, she met a young eunuch.

When the young eunuch saw the person coming, he quickly stepped aside and knelt down with his head bowed. Shi Nanxi glanced at the young eunuch and walked straight past him.

The young eunuch kneeling on the ground had a flash of doubt in his eyes. Wasn't this Imperial Concubine Xian? Where was she going?

It looks like the back hall from this direction, but I clearly haven't led it there yet?

Shi Nanxi withdrew her gaze and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. The little eunuch's first reaction when he saw her was astonishment.

He was surprised why she appeared here at this time, but how could a little eunuch have such an expression? It was obvious that the other party was the one who was supposed to lead him to see Kangxi and Shi Yiyao.

"Remember him."

After walking away, Shi Nanxi calmly said this. Xiao Ruzi looked back at the little eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground, and immediately assured:

"Don't worry, my lady, I have memorized that face just now."

……

On the other side, Kangxi changed his clothes and was about to return to the birthday banquet. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the ear room, he heard a female voice behind him:

"emperor!"

Kangxi paused and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a woman in a palace maid's costume looking at him excitedly. He looked at the other person's face, squinted his eyes, and recognized her. This was not the little girl's concubine sister.

His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes suddenly darkened. How did this person get to the Qianqing Palace, wearing the clothes of a palace maid? Are all the imperial guards dead?

Shi Yiyao became even more excited when she saw the emperor turn around. She didn't notice the change in his expression, and quickly stepped forward, kneeling in front of him, and said tearfully:

"Your Majesty, I am the concubine Shi Yiyao. Have you seen me? I am here to ask you for help. You must save me!"

Kangxi looked at Shi Yiyao, his eyes becoming increasingly heavy. Asking for help? What kind of help was this person asking for?

Could it be that she was recuperating in the Tiyuan Palace? He knew it clearly. He even felt that the girl had been lenient towards her because of their blood relationship and that she was just recuperating temporarily. If it were him, he would have directly extended his stick and kicked her out of the palace.

Besides, she thought the Qianqing Palace was a place where she could be so scheming and unruly as she wanted!

Although the emperor hadn't spoken for a long time, the oppressive power from his presence made Shi Yiyao tremble with fear, and she even retreated for a moment.

However, the next moment, she thought of Shi Nanxi's domineering behavior that day, and she became resolute again, and kowtowed and said:

"Your Majesty, what I said is true. Some time ago, Imperial Noble Consort Xian locked me up in the back room of the Tiyuan Palace for no reason, saying that I was sick. She did not allow anyone to contact me and planned to send me out of the palace directly after the re-election. But I am not sick!

I am really not sick. I can ask the imperial physician to diagnose my pulse on the spot. What I said is true. Please save me!"

As she spoke, she began to sob, her delicate body trembling slightly. She looked helpless and pitiful.

The guards, palace maids and eunuchs around couldn't help but look over. Kangxi looked at Shi Yiyao, stroking the jade ring quietly with an unpredictable expression.

After a while, he finally spoke, but the first sentence made Shi Yiyao stunned in place, and she even forgot to perform.

"You are indeed ill, and your illness is not mild." Kangxi said in a light tone: "It should be madness."

Shi Yiyao stared blankly at Kangxi. When did she become ill? Or was she crazy?

Facing Shi Yiyao's stunned expression, Kangxi remained calm:

"You are not crazy. You have been locked up and cannot contact others. How did you know about the promotion of Imperial Concubine Xian? You predicted it?"

Shi Yiyao's stunned expression suddenly turned into a stiff one. At this time, Kangxi asked again:

"Or, who told you that?"

Hearing this, Shi Yiyao's body trembled, tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said:

"Your servant... I don't know what the emperor is talking about. No one told you. I just... I just heard the palace servants talking about it on the way here."

"Really."

Kangxi's tone remained calm, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he did not believe it, and he asked again:

"Then tell me, where did you get the palace maid's clothes, how did you get out of the Tiyuan Palace, and how did you sneak into the Qianqing Palace? And finally..."

At this moment, Kangxi suddenly took a step forward, and Shi Yiyao stepped back in fright.

Kangxi took another step forward, and Shi Yiyao retreated again. This cycle continued until Shi Yiyao retreated to the edge of the flower bed. With nowhere to retreat, she had no choice but to stop and looked at Kangxi in panic.

Kangxi then stopped and looked down at Shi Yiyao, his eyes as deep as the abyss.

"How did you know my whereabouts?"

This short moment was enough for him to know that the so-called carelessness at today's birthday banquet was premeditated. And the fact that Shi Yiyao could appear here must have the involvement of the imperial guards, and the person behind the scenes must be highly powerful if he could get the imperial guards involved.

Thinking of this, his expression became calmer, but Liang Jiugong, who knew him well, knew that this was the eve of a storm for the emperor.

Meeting the emperor's gaze, Shi Yiyao subconsciously turned her head away and argued with the last bit of her rationality:

"Your servant... I really don't know what the emperor is talking about. The clothes I'm wearing belong to Xiao Ai. Xiao Ai was a maid who served me. I knocked her out while she was delivering food, changed into her clothes, and left the Ti Yuan Palace. As for entering the Qianqing Palace..."

Shi Yiyao clenched her hands tightly.

He bowed his head and said:

"That was because I happened to meet a maid from the imperial kitchen on my way here. I stole her token and came in. I just wanted to ask for help and tell my grievances. Your Majesty's whereabouts were just a coincidence. Please understand, Your Majesty!"

However, Kangxi did not believe a word of these words.

A pampered noble lady knocked out a palace maid who was doing odd jobs so easily, and was not recognized under the noses of so many people in the Tiyuan Hall. She successfully left the Tiyuan Hall and happened to meet a palace maid in the imperial kitchen. She stole the other party's token and used the token to enter the Qianqing Palace, where she met him again by coincidence.

This one can be considered a coincidence, two can also be considered a coincidence, but when so many coincidences are combined together it is no longer a coincidence. Kangxi's eyes became increasingly gloomy.

Who is behind this? What is the purpose? To ruin the girl's reputation? Or is there some other secret?

No one spoke, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Shi Yiyao felt uneasy, frightened, and panicked, but more than that, she felt resentful and jealous.

Why did the emperor react like this? This was completely different from what he thought. Shouldn't he think that Shi Nanxi was vicious, harming her sisters and suppressing the concubines?

Do you really trust Heather Creek? Or does it not matter even if Heather Creek is vicious?

She didn't know yet that Kangxi had just announced at the birthday banquet that no one would be allowed into the harem in the future, and she was completely confused at the moment.

I just wonder why Shi Nanxi can get all this, why she can make the emperor love her so unconditionally, all these should be hers, and the emperor is also hers.

Shi Yiyao, who was kneeling on the ground, had a flash of madness in her eyes. She was still a little hesitant at first, but now she could no longer hold back and suddenly snapped her nails. The next moment, she stood up abruptly and was about to hug Kangxi.

Kangxi didn't expect Shi Yiyao to be so brave and was about to retreat. At this moment, a fragrance suddenly came from the air, and he paused for a second.

Shi Yiyao's eyes flashed with excitement when she saw this, and she was about to hug Kangxi's waist with both hands. At this moment, Shi Nanxi's voice suddenly came from behind her.
