"Jiaojiao, don't be afraid! Close your eyes!"
When Kangxi set out, he brought a dozen guards with him, and there were also secret guards around him, so he was not very scared at this moment. The brown bear looked silly and cute, standing not far away, looking at them with its head tilted.
Bears are born with great strength, and although they look clumsy, they are extremely fast.
People say the tiger is the king of the forest, but when it comes to a real fight, the bear is the truly brave one.
If this weren't a forest, they could simply gallop on horseback and the brown bear wouldn't have any chance of gaining any advantage. But this was a forest, and not only could the horses not run fast, but this was most likely the bear's territory, and it was very familiar with the area.
"Xuan Ye! Don't move, don't move. As long as we don't attack him, he won't attack us! If he comes, we hold our breath. Remember this!"
But Harigana forgot that people can indeed control their breath, but horses can't!
Soon, the brown bear came towards them. (National Class II protected animal! Protect! Protect! Protect!)
"Jiaojiao! Don't be afraid! I'm here! Hold me tight, okay? Don't think about anything, just cover your ears!"
As Kangxi spoke, he quietly turned Harigana's body around, and the two of them sat face to face, with Kangxi holding Harigana tightly in his arms.
The bear was getting closer and closer, and everyone held their breath waiting for instructions.
"Your Majesty! You and the Consort Chen will retreat first. I will lead the others to cover your retreat!"
Li Dequan asked Kangxi nervously in a low voice, while Du Lan beside him took out the bow and arrow in his hand and looked at the brown bear vigilantly.
"Okay! Be safe!"
If Kangxi hadn't had Harigana by his side, he would have definitely shot the bear. But with Harigana by his side, the first thing he had to do was to protect his little Jiaojiao from getting hurt.
Li Dequan breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that the emperor would want to show off his masculinity in front of Empress Chen, so he was unwilling to retreat.
Fortunately, the emperor was still rational and did not do anything to give them a headache.
But what Li Dequan didn't know was that the reason Kangxi was able to listen to the advice and go back was entirely because Harigana was by his side. If it weren't for Harigana, he would have had a headache.
The brown bear walked very slowly, sniffing the things around it as it walked. If it smelled something different, it would grab it with its claws and bring it in front of it. Some would be put into its mouth, while others would be thrown directly behind it.
Kangxi did not delay. After giving instructions to Li Dequan, he turned around and pulled the reins to prepare to go around the brown bear.
But just as the horses took two steps, the brown bear growled as if it knew what they were going to do. The sound was so deafening that it made the horses under the guards a little restless.
The birds in the woods suddenly flew into the sky, forming a black mass that was a bit scary.
The guards had to distract themselves from soothing the horses under their crotch, and also keep an eye on the brown bear to prevent the bear from hurting the emperor and Empress Chenfei!
"What about the emperor?"
The Empress Dowager felt a little stuffy in her chest. She drank some wine last night and her sleep quality had not been very good recently, so she thought drinking some wine would help her sleep more soundly.
Fortunately, drinking did work, and she slept until almost lunchtime.
"Replying to the Empress Dowager, the Emperor has taken the Consort Chen into the mountains!"
Su Malagu only found out about this because she saw them riding out on horseback. Otherwise, she would never have known about this.
The Empress Dowager looked worried. There were many unknowns in the forest. How could an emperor act so willfully?
Although his dislike for Harigana had reached its peak, he did not lose control and curse at him like he had done in the previous times.
After thinking for a long time, he just asked softly, "Are there many people with you?"
Su Malagu was a little surprised. She thought that based on her previous experiences, the Empress Dowager would be extremely angry after hearing the news. However, she never expected that the Empress Dowager would just calmly ask her a question.
"Grand Empress Dowager, I saw from afar that the Emperor brought about a dozen people with him. Don't worry, the Emperor will be fine!"
The Empress Dowager nodded and rubbed her brows: "Go and call Wujina over. I have something to tell her."
"Yes! I'll be right there!"
Su Malagu turned around and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Bumbutai: "Su Ma, just let others pass!"
Su Malagu paused and said, "Yes, I will obey the Empress Dowager!"
After a while, Wujina came.
"I pay my respects to the Grand Empress Dowager. May the Grand Empress Dowager be blessed!"
Wujina followed the Manchu etiquette and bowed to Bumbutai, which made her frown slightly, but she didn't say anything when she thought about what would happen after she returned.
"Get up!"
Bumbutai was very satisfied with Wujina's appearance. Although she was not as beautiful as Harigana, she was also a rare beauty on the grassland.
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
Wujina stood up and, with the help of her maid, sat on the stool below Bumbutai, holding the silk handkerchief in her hand nervously.
"Wurina, don't be nervous! I came to you today just to talk to you!"
Although Bumbutai liked Wujina's appearance, she was really not impressed by her petty appearance. She wasn't some monstrous creature, so why were her hands so nervous and clenched?
"Yes! I will obey the Empress Dowager!"
Su Malagu stood aside and watched Wujina's performance, secretly shaking her head in her heart. She knew that the emperor would not like such a character. She had also watched Xuanye grow up since he was a child. Xuanye had a domineering nature in his bones. He liked to rule over everyone and liked people to depend on him.
This kind of personality is obviously not the type that Xuanye likes. It is too petty!
"Wurina, have you met the Concubine Chen? How was it?"
The Empress Dowager's voice was very kind, as if she was chatting about family matters, but Wujina's mind was racing with thoughts on how to answer this question.
Yes, all of this is fake by Wujina!
Before following the main force south, her mother taught Wujina all her life experience, the most important of which was to disguise herself.
So from the moment she got on the carriage, Wujina had been acting carefree, and became cautious after seeing the person in a higher position.
The reason why she was able to ride a horse and chase Harigana that day was because the maid beside her said a few words to her. This maid was sent by the Empress Dowager to serve the Khorchin concubines!
She was originally wondering if she had misunderstood, but now it seems that her guess was correct!
