Harigana was not surprised by Kangxi's remarks, but his face felt a little hot.

"Xuanye, can you please be more careful next time? It's daytime now!"

Harigana, who had recovered, looked at Kangxi with resentment in her eyes. Because of what she had just experienced, her voice sounded a bit coquettish, which was very alluring.

"Jiaojiao, you're still trying to seduce me? Hmm?"

Kangxi murmured the last word "hmm" softly in her ear with a nasal sound.

The heat sprayed on her earlobes, making her cheeks completely red, and even her neck turned pink.

"Xuanye, if you keep talking nonsense, I will ignore you."

I reached out and patted his shoulder gently, then thought of what I had prepared for the evening, and the heat that had just subsided crept back up my cheeks.

"Okay, okay! I won't say anything more, Jiaojiao, don't be angry."

Kangxi lowered his head and gently coaxed the person in his arms. He was in such a good mood that he forgot that he was almost going crazy in the imperial study just now.

On the other hand, after returning from the Qianqing Palace, the Empress Dowager directly sent people to catch the agate.

"Your Majesty, do you really not need to tell the Grand Empress Dowager about this?"

The Queen Mother's personal maid stood aside cautiously and reminded her.

"Qi Gen, how long have you been following me?"

The Queen Mother did not answer Qi Gen's question, but played with the armor in her hand without even looking at her.

"To answer your Majesty's question, I have been following you since you entered the palace. It has been almost thirty years now."

Qi Gen knelt on the ground and looked at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, I know that you are wary of me because I was sent to you by the Grand Queen Mother.

But after so many years, the only master I recognize in my heart is you.

"Your Majesty, I have followed you all the way and understand your hardships and sufferings. I will never betray you." Qi Gen said this and kowtowed.

The Queen Mother paused, then looked at Qi Gen and chuckled, "Really? Then what did you think every time you told the Grand Empress Dowager about my situation?"

Qi Gen raised his head, his eyes full of determination: "Your Majesty, whether you believe it or not, since the incident of deposing the empress, I have never told the Grand Empress Dowager anything about you.

Do you remember that year when I suddenly fell ill?"

How could the Queen Mother forget? It was because of that incident that she completely harbored a grudge against the Grand Queen Dowager.

"Ok!"

Qi Gen chuckled, tears streaming down his face unconsciously: "Because that year, I almost died in the Cining Palace, and it was Su Malagu's plea that allowed me to survive until now.

For so many years, I have never mentioned this matter.

Because this servant had indeed done something wrong to the Empress, the illness I suffered that year was a punishment from the Eternal Heaven."

The Queen Mother looked at Qi Gen and sighed, then walked over to her and helped her up.

She did find out that Qi Gen was the Empress Dowager that year, and since the matter of the Empress's dethronement was a big deal at that time, she didn't care about Qi Gen.

"Qi Gen, I believe what you said. I hope you won't let me down in the future."

Qi Gen nodded, his face full of joy. The secret that had been buried in his heart for decades finally saw the light of day.

"Thank you, Madam!"

The Queen Mother helped her wipe away her tears and didn't explain too much. She only said, "I know what's going on with the Grand Empress Dowager. You don't have to worry."

She did have a plan of her own, and the Grand Empress Dowager wanted to thwart it, not only because it seemed too late, but also because she wanted to see whose side the Emperor was on.

During this period of time, Manju always felt that something seemed to be wrong, and her body was getting weaker and weaker. Although the imperial physician prescribed medicine, there was no improvement.

I had just taken my lunch medicine and wanted to take a nap when I was startled by a few maids who suddenly broke in.

"Who are you? How dare you break into my inner palace? Are you really that brave?"

She was already feeling unwell, and now the loud noise made her feel even worse.

After hearing the Queen Mother's words, the maids told them not to be polite, so of course they would show no mercy.

"My lady, if you want to show off your power, you'll have to see if you still have the chance!"

Agate suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart. She panicked and grabbed the quilt beside her and huddled in the corner of the bed, looking at them with a wary face.

But no matter how she struggled, it was useless. Soon she was tied up and sent to Ningshou Palace.

"Grand Empress Dowager, Concubine Borjigit, something happened."

When Su Malagu got the news, she came to report it to Bumbutai. Although she didn't know why the empress dowager did that, she must have lost her life since she had arrested that person without informing the grand empress dowager.

"what?"

Bumbutai sat up straight, her eyes full of confusion.

"Replying to the Grand Empress Dowager, the Queen Mother just sent someone to take the person away directly."

"Bastard!"

Bumbutai stood up. Manju was the one she valued the most. Although she had not caught the emperor's eye for the time being, if her plan succeeded and that bitch from the Borchijin tribe was gone, the emperor would definitely favor Manju.

What's more, Agate is the daughter of Wendur!

If something really goes wrong, how will she explain it to Wendul?

Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager could no longer sit still: "Quick! Prepare the sedan chair. I want to see who dares to touch the agate."

Su Malagu immediately bowed and retreated. Although she didn't like the agate, the matter was of great importance and she had to be anxious.

The Queen Mother knew the Grand Empress Dowager, and while arresting the man, she also called all the concubines in the harem over.

The emperor's meaning was very clear. What he wanted was results. As for how to ensure foolproofness, it depended on her speed.

So when the Empress Dowager arrived at the gate of Ningshou Palace, she heard Qigen say, "Borjigit Manju, as a concubine in the harem, secretly met with the guards and defiled the harem."

"shut up!"

Everyone stood up to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager who had hurried over. The Empress Dowager's eyes flickered slightly, but only Manjush seemed to have seen a savior.

"Grand Empress Dowager, help me, I don't have any!"

She did it so secretly that there was absolutely no way anyone would know about it, not even the maidservants around her knew about it.

Thinking of this, she became much bolder and looked at the empress dowager with innocent eyes: "Grand Empress Dowager, as the emperor's concubine, how could I possibly meet with the guards in private? Please don't slander me, Your Majesty."

The Queen Mother gave the main seat to the Grand Empress Dowager and ignored the person kneeling on the ground.

"Why is the Empress Dowager here?"

Bumbutai was furious and wanted to curse, but she couldn't lose her composure in front of so many concubines.

He could only suppress the anger in his heart and said in a calm voice: "I heard that you had someone capture Agate, so I came to take a look."

The Queen Mother understood, is this a wish to protect him?

What a pity, not only will her wish not be fulfilled, but there will be even bigger troubles waiting for her in the future.
