Harigana didn't know what Kangxi was thinking. If she had known, she would have stopped him. How could someone who grew up on the grassland like such a restricted life?

On the grasslands, food and drink were free, and they could even sell their hunting in the mountains for silver! But if they were to go to the capital, not to mention the comfortable accommodation, they would have to find a place to ride their horses every day. They would be suffocating!

The carriage wobbled along the way. Because Harigana was pregnant, Kangxi ordered the troops to advance more slowly. The journey to the Mountain Resort, which should have taken four or five days, took Kangxi nearly ten.

Kangxi took Harigana to live in his own bedroom directly. The rest of the people who had been there before lived in the previous courtyard. Those who had not been there were all arranged by Tong Jia. After all, she had done such things many times and was already very familiar with it!

"Jiaojiao, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Harigana hadn't reacted in the past, but when she was eating lunch, she smelled the mutton soup and felt a little nauseous. Although Kangxi could see that Harigana was uncomfortable, he couldn't say anything because the Empress Dowager and the others were there.

After a quick dinner, he returned to his bedroom and immediately called the imperial physician to take Harigana's pulse. Fortunately, he was just nauseous and had no other symptoms.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is suffering from morning sickness. Just stay away from things you don't like! If it's really serious, I can prepare some medicine for you!"

Doctor Zhao knelt on the ground. Although he knew the empress's pulse was healthy, he was still very worried on the way here. Fortunately, it was just morning sickness and there were no other problems.

"Doctor Zhao, please help me! Please go down first!"

Harigana didn't want to take medicine. Ever since she met Kangxi, medicine had appeared in her life from time to time. She would never drink any of that bitter medicine soup unless it was necessary.

"Go down!"

Kangxi also didn't want Harigana to take the medicine. All medicines are poisonous, so it's better to be careful.

But he knew that Harigana was the one who was suffering, so he didn't know how to persuade her. After all, she was pregnant. If Harigana thought that he didn't take the medicine for the sake of the child, it would be too unfair!

He was really just worried about Harigana!

Fortunately, it was Harigana who brought it up, so he simply agreed with Harigana and asked Doctor Zhao to leave!

"Xuanye, I'm not feeling particularly uncomfortable, so I don't need to take medicine!"

Harigana thought she would have to spend some time talking, but unexpectedly Kangxi agreed directly. She didn't want to think too much, as long as her goal was achieved!

Others might not have noticed this abnormality, but the Empress Dowager had some suspicions in her heart.

If it was because of Harigana's injury at the beginning, now a month has passed and there is no need to be so cautious.

Moreover, they were waiting for Harigana's injuries to heal a lot before setting off, so there was no need to be cautious now!

And just now at the dinner table, Harigana frowned slightly, and Kangxi's worried look made her heart sink to the bottom.

Xuanye was raised by her, but now, for the sake of a woman, he not only doted on her for nearly two months, but he didn't even tell her about such a big thing.

Was he protecting Harigana, or was he afraid she might harm his great-grandson? She was the Dama of Xuanye's children! (According to Baidu Encyclopedia, the great-grandmother's name is Dama! If you have Manchu friends, please leave a message!)

"Su Ma! Go see where Xuanye is. If he's not busy, ask him to come over and tell him I have something to discuss with him!"

The more Bumbutai thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss. If it was really as she suspected, then these two people were really messing around. Regardless of whether Harigana was physically fit to receive the emperor's favor these days, the fact that she was monopolizing the emperor's bed and not allowing anyone else to sleep with him was simply a crime of jealousy!

What she is more worried about now is whether Kangxi will be another Huang Taiji and Fulin. If that is really the case, she doesn’t know what to do!

"Yes, slave, go right now!"

Su Malagu didn't think too much about it. The Empress Dowager hadn't said anything recently, so even if she wanted to guess, she didn't know where to start.

Kangxi was reading to Harigana's unborn child at the time, and when Suma Lagu came over, Li Dequan hurried to greet her. He didn't know why, but every time he saw Suma lately, Li Dequan felt that nothing good was going to happen.

"Aunt Suma!"

Su Malagu dodged Li Dequan's greeting and explained her purpose directly: "Please inform Eunuch Li that the Empress Dowager has something to discuss with the Emperor! The Empress Dowager asked if the Emperor has time!"

"Aunt Suma, wait a moment. I'll be right there!"

Li Dequan's mind was full of thoughts. Now that they were at the Mountain Resort, would the Empress Dowager force him to sleep with her? Besides, the Empress Dowager's words were very nice, asking if the Emperor had time!

She is the Grand Empress Dowager, the Emperor's grandmother. Even if she really doesn't have time, she has to squeeze out some time. What's more, the Emperor is accompanying the Empress right now, how could he not go!

Despite what he was thinking, Li Dequan quickly turned around and asked for help.

At this moment, Harigana was confused as he listened to Kangxi reading those complicated words. Kangxi's voice was originally very low and pleasant.

Especially after knowing that Harigana liked to listen to his voice, he could concentrate more when reading, so after a while, Harigana was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes!

"emperor!"

As Li Dequan entered the hall, he heard Kangxi reading. Although he didn't want to disturb the warmth of his two masters, he couldn't neglect the Empress Dowager, so he could only quietly report. Of course, he didn't delay and stood outside to report directly: "Aunt Suma is here. She said that the Empress Dowager has something to discuss with you. If you have time, please come over!"

Kangxi did not answer Li Dequan's words immediately. Instead, he looked up at Harigana and confirmed that the little girl was not woken up. Then he finished reading the remaining lines. He did not turn around and leave until Harigana fell asleep completely and covered her with a quilt.

"No need to follow me!"

Kangxi had a guess in his mind. He thought that the abnormal behavior during this period, coupled with Harigana's abnormal behavior during dinner and the imperial physician's consultation, the Empress Dowager should have realized the whole story.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Although it was wrong for him to hide it from the Empress Dowager, for the sake of Harigana and the dragon offspring in her belly, it was right for him to be careful!

"Xuanye pays his respects to the Empress Dowager!"

After Kangxi entered the inner hall, he politely saluted Bumbutai. Once this salute was made, the two of them understood each other tacitly, and there was no need to test or ask any more questions, as they were sure that their guesses were correct!
