Chapter 393 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 15

"Your Majesty, you are the emperor, with three thousand beauties in your harem, and I am just..."

"I don't care!" Kangxi suddenly interrupted her with a hint of annoyance in his tone.

"What I want is never the beauties in the harem..."

Yu Tan was stunned. She had never seen Kangxi lose his composure like this. Normally, he was always able to plan and plan, and he remained calm even when faced with a huge crisis. But now, for her sake, he showed some childish willfulness.

Kangxi sighed: "I know you don't believe me..." He paused, as if he was organizing his words. It took him a while to speak again, but there was a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

"I am the emperor, what do I want? But..."

He paused again, his deep eyes locked onto Yu Tan, as if he wanted to suck her in. Yu Tan felt uneasy when he looked at her, but she couldn't help wanting to know what he hadn't said.

"But getting a true heart is harder than climbing to the sky." Kangxi smiled self-deprecatingly, his tone full of bitterness.

"Your Majesty, what...what do you mean?" Yu Tan tried to pull her hand back in panic, but Kangxi held it tightly.

"Isn't my meaning clear enough?" Kangxi stared at her with burning eyes, with a hint of grievance in his tone.

"I want you, I want you to stay with me."

Yutan was stunned. She had never seen Kangxi so childish before. He was like a child who couldn't get his favorite toy, and was a bit willful and stubborn.

"I...had a dream before..."

Kangxi's breathing became rapid, and he held Yutan's hand tighter, as if he wanted to embed her into his bones and blood. He suddenly pulled Yutan into his arms and hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to crush her in his chest.

"I dreamed of you..." Kangxi's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fear that was difficult to conceal.

Yu Tan was startled by his sudden action and struggled to push him away: "Your Majesty, what are you doing..."

Kangxi turned a deaf ear to her. He buried his head in Yutan's neck, greedily breathing in her scent, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"I dreamed that you... were steamed to death..." Kangxi's voice trembled, as if he was trying hard to suppress something.

Yu Tan's body stiffened instantly, and she stared wide-eyed in disbelief. Steaming torture...

Kangxi felt the stiffness of the person in his arms, loosened his grip a little, and held Yutan's face, forcing her to look at him. His eyes were panicked and helpless, like a lost beast seeking salvation.

"I saw it... You were trapped in a huge steamer, surrounded by white steam... You were struggling and shouting in pain... But... But no one... No one could save you..."

Kangxi's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally turned into painful sobs. He hugged Yutan tightly, as if grasping the last straw to save his life.

"Yutan, don't leave me... don't leave me..." He repeated this sentence over and over again, his tone full of despair and pleading.

Yutan's heart seemed to be hit hard by something. She had never seen Kangxi so vulnerable. The emperor who was usually high above and in control of everything was now like a helpless child, holding on to her tightly for comfort.

Yutan gently stroked Kangxi's back, trying to comfort him.

"Your Majesty, it was just a dream. Dreams are always the opposite of what they actually are..."

Kangxi suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of fear and suspicion.

"No! It can't be just a dream..."

Yu Tan had never thought that Kangxi would be so panicked because of a dream. She originally thought that the imperial family was the most ruthless, but the fear and helplessness in Kangxi's eyes were so real that she was shocked.

"Your Majesty, dreams are illusions. You don't have to take them to heart." Yu Tan comforted softly, trying to pull Kangxi out of his fear.

Kangxi, however, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He suddenly raised his head with burning eyes, "Really? Yutan, are you telling the truth? You won't...you won't leave me?"

He held Yu Tan's hand tightly, with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her.

Kangxi’s fear was so real that it frightened Yutan.

She patted Kangxi's back like coaxing a child, again and again, trying to pull him out of the shadow of the nightmare. Kangxi's body gradually relaxed under her patting, and his breathing gradually became stable.

"Your Majesty, you see, dreams are the opposite of what they actually are. Am I not fine now?"

Yu Tan spoke softly, like coaxing a petty animal, and Kangxi gradually calmed down, but he did not relax his grip on her hand. He was like a drowning man grabbing a piece of driftwood and refused to let go.

"Yutan, you won't leave me, right? You won't be like in the dream..."

Kangxi's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of fragility, completely different from the majestic emperor he usually was.

Yu Tan felt mixed emotions, but she could only comfort him softly, "Your Majesty, I promise you that I will never leave you."

Kangxi then revealed a sincere smile. He pulled Yutan's hand to his lips and kissed it gently.

"I believe in you, Yutan."

His eyes were as gentle as a pool of spring water, causing Yu Tan's heartbeat to speed up a little.

On the other hand, the residence of the Ninth Prince Yinzhen was in an uproar.

"What?! The Emperor has put me under house arrest?!" Yinzhen suddenly threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. The fine celadon teacup shattered and the tea splashed everywhere, scaring the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving on the side to kneel on the ground and tremble.

"In reply... to Master Jiu, the Emperor... has given an oral order, saying... that you... must reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors, and you are not... allowed to go out without his permission..." The young eunuch was so frightened that he could not speak clearly, and he wished he could bury his head in the ground.

On the other hand, Yinzhen, upon learning that he was under house arrest by Kangxi, was so angry that he smashed everything in the study.

"Damn it! It must be Yu Tan! No one else would dare to gossip in front of the Emperor!"

Yinzhen roared in frustration. He originally thought that even if Kangxi knew about the incident, he would turn a blind eye to it because of his dedicated work over the years.

But he never expected that Kangxi would make such a big fuss this time and directly put him under house arrest, which clearly showed no mercy to him!

The more Yinzhen thought about it, the angrier he got. He overturned the tea in front of him and said, "This is too much! This is too much!"

As a prince, when had he ever been treated so humiliatingly?! Being confined to his house was fine, but what he was most worried about was that Kangxi really fell in love with Yu Tan!

No, he had to think of a way and couldn't just sit there and wait for death!

Yinzhen paced back and forth in the room, thinking quickly about countermeasures in his mind.

On the other side, after Yu Tan served Kangxi dinner, she stepped aside and quietly ground the scented ink.
