Chapter 816: Startling Heart Mingyu 28

Mingyu lowered her head shyly and said softly, "I don't ask for any reward, I just ask that Your Majesty spend more time with me and my unborn child."

Kangxi felt warm in his heart, and he held her in his arms, saying softly, "I promise you that I will accompany you and the child well."

When the two were being affectionate, Concubine Xi suddenly asked for an audience. Kangxi was somewhat displeased, but it was not easy to refuse, so he had to call her in.

Concubine Xi came over and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you, Your Majesty, and to your Highness."

Kangxi asked calmly, "What's the matter, Concubine Xi?"

Concubine Xi glanced at Mingyu, who was nestled in Kangxi's arms, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. She then said, "I heard that the imperial concubine is pregnant and should not serve you in bed. I am worried that the emperor will feel lonely, so I came here to serve him."

Mingyu shook off Kangxi's hand without leaving a trace. The movement was as gentle as a feather brushing across the water, but it made Kangxi's heart skip a beat.

He stared at Mingyu blankly, the tenderness and doting in his eyes had not yet faded, but mixed with a hint of barely perceptible panic. Mingyu just smiled sweetly, as if the action just now was just an unintentional act.

There was a cunning light flashing in her watery eyes, like a kitten stealing fish, making her hard to figure out.

Concubine Xi saw all of this and was secretly delighted.

She bowed and spoke in a more humble tone: "I dare not disturb the love between the emperor and the imperial concubine, but I am sincere and worried that the emperor is ill. I hope the queen will sympathize with me."

She deliberately emphasized the word "loving" and looked up at Mingyu with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Mingyu didn't say anything, but just lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, covering up the deep light in her eyes.

Kangxi was panicked. He didn't expect Mingyu to suddenly shake off his hand. This subtle movement seemed like a huge crack to him, instantly tearing a hole in his heart.

Was she blaming him? Blaming him for not being considerate enough and not noticing her discomfort in time? Or was she... angry at Concubine Xi?

Kangxi was confused, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He looked at Mingyu for help, hoping to find a clue from her face, but Mingyu just smiled sweetly, as if everything just now was just his illusion.

Kangxi was extremely anxious. Mingyu's sudden action caught him off guard.

He didn't care about the presence of Concubine Xi, and grabbed Mingyu's hand: "Yu'er, what's wrong with you? But what did I do wrong to make you angry?"

Mingyu gently pulled her hand back and lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes hid the complex emotions in her eyes. She didn't say anything, but just shook her head slightly. Her weak appearance made Kangxi feel distressed.

"Yu'er, please say something and don't scare me." Kangxi's voice was almost pleading as he gently stroked Mingyu's back.

Seeing this, Concubine Xi was secretly delighted. She bowed and said in a more humble tone, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine is not feeling well. Let her have a good rest. How about..."

Before Xipin finished her words, Kangxi interrupted her harshly: "Xipin, you are overstepping your bounds! When is it your turn to interrupt me when I am talking to the imperial concubine?"

Kangxi's tone was cold, with a hint of unquestionable majesty, completely different from the gentleness he had shown when he was coaxing Mingyu just now.

Concubine Xi turned pale with fear and quickly knelt down to plead guilty: "I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Kangxi took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions that were surging in his heart. He gently stroked Mingyu's hair and said firmly: "Yu'er, don't worry, I won't touch anyone else. You are the only one in my heart, and I don't care about others at all."

Mingyu still had her head lowered, and her facial expression couldn't be seen clearly. She just said "hmm" softly.

Concubine Xi, who was standing by, turned pale. She didn't expect that Kangxi would say such words in front of her.

She had been in the palace for many years and knew that the emperor's favor was as fleeting as flowing water. Today's honor and favor might become a thing of the past tomorrow. She thought Mingyu's pregnancy was her chance, but she didn't expect Kangxi's love for Mingyu was so deep that she had no chance to take advantage of it.

Kangxi glared at Concubine Xi fiercely, with a look as if he wanted to eat her alive.

"Princess Xi, you are so bold! The Imperial Concubine is unwell, but not only do you not care about her, you are fanning the flames and stirring up trouble! Do you think I am blind and can't see through your little tricks?!"

Concubine Xi was so frightened that she trembled all over. She prostrated herself on the ground, her forehead pressed tightly against the cold ground, and replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I have no such intention. I am just concerned about your health..."

"Care about me?" Kangxi sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

"If you really care about me, you should behave yourself instead of stirring up trouble here! The imperial concubine is pregnant with the heir of the dragon, and I treasure her like a treasure. If she is harmed in the slightest, I will hold you responsible!"

Concubine Xi's body trembled even more violently, she knew that she had really angered the emperor this time. Kangxi's favor for Mingyu was known to everyone in the palace, and she had originally wanted to take this opportunity to sow discord and make Mingyu fall out of favor so that she could take the position, but she did not expect that she would be self-defeating and bring herself into trouble.

"Come here!" Kangxi gave an order, and two guards came in.

"Princess Xi has committed a crime of inciting trouble and disturbing the palace. She shall be fined for half a year, confined for a month, and required to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors!"

Concubine Xi turned pale, but she dared not beg for mercy. She could only kowtow and thank the emperor: "I thank the emperor for his great grace."

The guards took Concubine Xi away, and the bedroom suddenly became quiet. Kangxi turned and looked at Mingyu, the anger in his eyes had long dissipated, replaced by endless tenderness and pampering.

He gently took Mingyu into his arms and said softly, "Yu'er, I have already punished Concubine Xi. Don't be angry anymore. What if you get angry and make yourself sick? My dearest sweetheart, I can't bear to see you suffer any injustice."

Seeing Mingyu still silent, Kangxi thought she was still angry about Concubine Xi, so he coaxed her more gently: "Yu'er, I know you are kind-hearted and don't like to fight with others, but in this deep palace, kindness can sometimes become your weakness. I will always protect you and won't let anyone hurt you, but you also have to learn to protect yourself, understand?"

Mingyu raised her eyes slightly, with a mocking smile on her lips: "Your Majesty, how can I be kind? Concubine Xi just acted like that, I wish I could cut her into pieces to relieve the hatred in my heart."

Kangxi was stunned when he heard this, then he chuckled. He hugged Mingyu tighter and said, "Yu'er, are you acting like a spoiled child to me? I know you have a kind heart. Even if you are angry, you will not really do anything out of line."

Mingyu broke free from Kangxi's arms and glared at him, "Your Majesty is too confident. I am not a kind-hearted person. If someone offends me, I will definitely pay them back double."
