Rebirth of His Royal Highness Prince Chenghu

Qingyao gently rubbed her eyes and said in a gentle voice, "My husband, you should go find Lord Cao. I'm suddenly feeling a little sleepy and I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer. I'd like to rest here for a while."

Kangxi gently picked up the thin blanket lying nearby, carefully unfolded it, and gently covered her delicate body. His movements were so gentle, as if he was afraid to disturb her deep sleep. After confirming that the blanket was completely covering her, Kangxi slowly stood up. He paused for a moment, gazing lovingly at her peaceful sleeping face. Then, with a soft sigh, he turned and walked towards the door.

Wang deliberately dressed up and brought a bowl of drugged soup to the courtyard, saying, "My dear, this is the soup prepared by the kitchen. My Lord has asked me to bring it to you."

Kangxi took the bowl of soup and drank it. Soon the effect of the medicine took effect. He picked up the person in front of him and walked into the next room. Soon, the air was filled with the faint moans of a woman and the low gasps of a man.

After a long time, the effects of the drug finally wore off, and Kangxi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze dazed and bewildered. He gathered his thoughts, stared at the strange woman before him, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Who...who are you?!"

Wang lowered her head slightly and replied respectfully, "Your Excellency, I was sent by Lord Li to serve you." Her tone was soft and gentle, revealing a hint of nervousness and awe.

Kangxi frowned and asked, "Lord Li? Which Lord Li? Li what?" His eyes were fixed on the woman, as if trying to find the answer from her expression.

Wang took a deep breath and said softly, "My lord, this Lord Li's name is Li Xu."

Hearing this name, Kangxi's face instantly turned gloomy. He gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, "Li Xu? What a Li Xu! I want to see what he wants to do!" After that, he stood up, put on his clothes, and left the room. He saw Liang Jiugong returning with his belongings and a midwife.

Liang Jiugong bent down respectfully, holding a tray with some items in his hands. He whispered, "Master, I spent a lot of effort to find the most famous and experienced midwife in Hangzhou. In addition, here are the best medicinal herbs that you specifically asked for! These are all carefully selected and of high quality. They will definitely keep my madam safe." After speaking, Liang Jiugong held the tray carefully and waited for instructions.

Kangxi stood there with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy. His hawk-like gaze stared straight ahead, as if it could penetrate any obstacle. After a long moment, he slowly spoke, "Liang Jiugong! Quickly tell Cao Yin that I want him to pass on a message to Li Xu, ordering him to come to Cao's house and see me immediately!" With a cold snort, Kangxi turned and returned to his room, leaving Liang Jiugong standing there in silence. He didn't dare to delay even a moment, and hurriedly followed his orders.

Liang Jiugong hurriedly found Cao Yin and conveyed Kangxi's will. Cao Yin was shocked and did not dare to delay and immediately sent someone to find Li Xu.

After Li Xu got the news, he was so scared that he trembled all over, but he had no choice but to go to Cao's house.

Kangxi sat quietly in the room. At this moment, Qingyao slowly woke up from the bed. She gently opened her eyes and called out tenderly, "Husband~"

Hearing the call, Kangxi quickly turned around, his eyes full of concern and love. He quickly walked to the bedside, leaned over and asked gently, "Qingqing, you're awake. How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell?" As he spoke, he reached out and gently stroked Qingyao's forehead, feeling her body temperature to see if it was normal.

Qingyao frowned slightly, her nostrils twitching slightly as she keenly caught the faint, almost imperceptible scent of powder emanating from him. This scent was like a fine needle, gently pricking her heart.

"Husband, you..." Qingyao raised her head and looked straight at his face, her eyes full of confusion and disbelief. She opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to start.

The faint scent of powder filled the air, as if mocking her current anxiety and confusion.

Kangxi: "Have a good rest. I have something to take care of. I will explain it to you later." He stood up and left the room and went straight to find Cao Yin.

Soon, Li Xu entered the study, trembling. He dropped to his knees with a thud, kowtowed, and begged for mercy. Kangxi angrily exclaimed, "How dare you plot against me?" Li Xu wept and pleaded, explaining that he had been instructed to do so. Kangxi refused to listen and immediately ordered Li Xu's dismissal and investigation, and his property confiscated.

After dealing with Li Xu, Kangxi left and returned to his room. Cao Yin looked at his brother-in-law and said, "You are so bold! You actually took the initiative to send someone to the emperor. You are really fearless. The emperor has the empress by his side, and you dare to send someone." If the emperor had not sent Liang Jiugong to convey the oral order, he would not have known that his brother-in-law had done this.

When Kangxi returned to his room, he saw Qingyao sitting by the bed, crying silently. Feeling guilty, he went forward and hugged Qingyao.

Qingyao struggled for a few times, but was ultimately no match for Kangxi's strength: "Let me go. We clearly agreed in the palace that we wouldn't get involved with other women. If you can't do it, then don't agree. I just found out I'm pregnant, and you can't wait to be with another woman."

Kangxi hugged Qingyao tightly and explained anxiously, "Qingqing, I was framed. I drank the drugged soup and was confused, so I did something wrong. I have severely punished the person behind this."
