Since they are all worn by the Qing Dynasty, you might as well be bold and choose Kangxi!
Chapter 51: Nan framed, no way to defend himself
"You said my eldest sister, Princess Shi, has been looking for me. Were you sent by her?"
When Shi Nanxi said this, her eyes seemed to casually sweep across the ear of the young eunuch opposite her, on which there was a large black mole.
She remembered that day when she was tricked into going to Kunning Palace, a young eunuch bumped into Hongying and splashed water on her. Although the eunuch kept his head down and her face could not be seen clearly, she noticed that he also had a big black mole on one of his ears.
The young eunuch lowered his head and said respectfully:
"Yes, Princess Shi saw that you had not returned to the banquet yet, so she not only sent servants to come, but also came out in person to look for you. She is now waiting for you in the lotus pavilion in the back garden."
It is indeed possible that Shi Rongyue would look for her, but he could not order Ninth Prince's people around, so Shi Nanxi withdrew her gaze without leaving a trace.
It seemed that she had not expected that her elder sister would not only send someone to look for her, but also come in person. She looked surprised, happy, and ashamed:
"After I changed my clothes, I met a Persian cat on the road. It was so beautiful that I couldn't help but stop. I didn't expect that I lost track of time and made my elder sister worried. It's not me. Let's go find my elder sister now."
Hearing this, the young eunuch in front of him immediately let out a sigh, but still did not look up. He just turned sideways and led the way.
Seeing this, Shi Nanxi's eyes darkened and she suddenly stretched out her hand. Hongying beside her was stunned for a moment before she stepped forward and stretched out her arm.
The next moment, Shi Nanxi put her hand on Hongying's arm, but pressed it down with imperceptible force. Hongying felt something strange and subconsciously looked up, and met the eyes of the Second Princess, motioning to look at the young eunuch who was leading the way in front of her.
She was startled and immediately thought of the incident in Kunning Palace. However, seeing how calm and composed the Second Princess was, she suppressed her fear and panic.
Shi Nanxi saw that Hongying understood, and glanced behind her without stopping.
Liang Jiugong, who was standing behind him, was surprised when he saw this scene: "Where is Shi Ergege going?"
After saying this, he suddenly frowned, his tone a little hesitant:
"Why didn't that little eunuch look like someone from Yuqing Palace?"
Hearing this, Kangxi, who had been silent, suddenly remembered the time when Shi Nanxi was tricked into going to Kunning Palace.
His heart sank, and he quickly put away the sachet and followed him. Liang Jiugong was not stupid, and seeing this he remembered that incident. His expression changed slightly and he quickly followed the emperor.
Here, Shi Nanxi and his servant followed the young eunuch through many twists and turns to the back garden. After that, they saw a pond with green lotus leaves in it. It should be the lotus pond.
However, there was no one in the pavilion beside the pond, and Shi Rongyue was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this, Shi Nanxi stopped and looked puzzled:
"Eunuch, didn't you say that my elder sister was waiting for me in the Lotus Pavilion? Why is there no one there?"
This kind of pavilion has no shelter on all sides, and one can tell at a glance whether there is anyone approaching. The young eunuch kept his head down and replied:
"The person was still there before I left. Maybe it's been a long time, and Princess Shi couldn't wait and went to look for him somewhere else."
Shi Nanxi glanced at the young eunuch seemingly casually, but she was always on guard. She noticed that the place where the few people stayed was two steps away from the lotus pond. The water in the pond in March was freezing cold. If you fell into it, you would be skinned alive even if you didn't die.
She immediately understood what was going on, but on her face she looked as if she had suddenly realized something. She clutched the handkerchief tightly and said anxiously:
"I see. If that's the case, then hurry back to the banquet. Who knows, my elder sister might go back to see if I've returned to the banquet."
While speaking, his other hand secretly pinched Hongying's arm.
Hongying was always alert, feeling the movements of the Second Princess. She raised her head slightly and followed the Second Princess's peripheral vision to see the lotus pond nearby, and immediately had a guess.
His body tensed up in defense immediately, but his face showed no sign of it.
The master and servant had a tacit understanding. At this time, Shi Nanxi turned around with the help of Hongying. The little eunuch who had been lowering his head behind him had a ferocious look on his face. At this moment, he suddenly looked up and pushed Shi Nanxi hard on the back.
Shi Nanxi knew that the other party would take advantage of the opportunity when she turned around to attack her, and she sneered in her heart. The next moment, before the eunuch's hand touched her back, she suddenly screamed and pretended to throw herself forward. However, from behind, it seemed that it was the eunuch who pushed Shi Nanxi.
Kangxi had just turned a corner and heard Shi Nanxi's scream. He looked up and saw this scene. His pupils suddenly shrank, and the next moment he burst into laughter:
"Be bold!"
As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, two guards rushed out from an empty place and rushed towards the young eunuch.
At this time, Shi Nanxi was about to fall into the pool, but Hongying beside her reacted quickly. She stretched out her hand and pulled Shi Nanxi. Shi Nanxi fell towards Hongying under the force, and finally the two of them fell to the ground together.
There was a loud bang, and it hurt just to hear it, but Hongying groaned and ignored everything else, checking the Second Princess on her body with a panicked look on her face.
"Second Princess, Second Princess, how are you? Are you okay?"
As he said that, he stood up and was about to help Shi Nanxi. Shi Nanxi had calculated the angle, so it would be fine.
But the Ninth Prince tried to plot against her again and again, and she would not let it go just because she saw through his plots. In the end, she would take advantage of the situation and achieve her own goal.
On the contrary, she was very vengeful and decided to teach the other party a "small" lesson this time. So when she saw a small stone on the ground, she deliberately bumped her arm against it.
At this time, she raised her hand to cover her right elbow, her face full of pain, and she didn't even bother to reply to Hongying. Seeing this, Hongying thought that something was wrong with the Second Princess' arm, and she was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Second Princess, Second Princess, what happened to your arm? Did you bump it somewhere? It's all my fault for being useless. Come and take a look at me..."
Before he finished speaking, Kangxi came over and shouted:
"Don't touch her."
After saying that, he looked at Shi Nanxi, who was lying on the ground in so much pain that she couldn't speak, and without saying a word, he bent down and picked her up.
Shi Nanxi's body suddenly flew into the air, and she subconsciously wanted to struggle, but Kangxi's voice immediately came from above her head:
"do not move."
After she finished speaking, she immediately dared not move and lay obediently in Kangxi's arms. Kangxi pursed his lips and looked at her, then moved even more gently.
Hongying, who was standing by, watched the Second Princess being carried away by the Emperor. She wiped away her tears and quickly followed.
Liang Jiugong, who stayed behind, first arranged for someone to call the imperial physician, then flicked his whisk and looked at the young eunuch who was being held on the ground with a dazed look on his face. He sneered:
"How dare you commit a crime in the Yuqing Palace in broad daylight. Someone, take him to the Ministry of Punishment for a thorough interrogation."
Hearing this, the young eunuch finally came to his senses, broke free from the guards, knelt on the ground and kowtowed:
"I am innocent! I am innocent!"
"Unjust? My family and the emperor saw it with our own eyes, and you still dare to cry out for injustice? It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin, and you won't be detained anymore!"
Seeing that the emperor was about to disappear from view, Liang Jiugong made a gesture and chased after him with his whisk in his arms.
"Bang——" Kangxi kicked the door open, then he quickly walked into the house holding Shi Nanxi and carefully placed her on the nearest couch.
After putting it down, he looked at Liang Jiugong:
"Why hasn't the imperial doctor come yet?"
Liang Jiugong bowed and said:
"In reply to your Majesty, I have already sent someone to invite him immediately. I think he will be here soon."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi's thin lips suddenly formed a straight line. The atmosphere immediately became tense and solemn, and Liang Jiugong was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
At this time, Shi Nanxi, who was lying on the couch, put down the hand that was supporting her arm and pulled Kangxi's sleeve. Kangxi noticed it and looked over.
Seeing Shi Nanxi looking up with her pale face, she was still trembling with fear but whispered:
"Your Majesty, there is no need to mobilize the troops. I just fell down and my arm accidentally hit a stone. The pain was so severe that I couldn't speak for a while. Now I have recovered. There is no need to trouble Chief Steward Liang to call for the imperial physician."
At this moment, Kangxi thought of the time in Kunning Palace when Shi Nanxi was locked in the main hall. She was almost frozen to death at that time, but she said that she had long been accustomed to it and that she just needed to endure it and take it easy. Now it seems that she has become accustomed to it.
But he inexplicably disliked it, so he remained calm but said in an unquestionable tone:
"I have already asked someone to call you, be obedient."
After hearing the words, Shi Nanxi pursed her lips and dared not refuse anymore.
