Chapter 187 The Emperor's Concern
Understanding that Concubine Wusuli was showing her goodwill, Qinrou was also satisfied with this way of showing her goodwill. It was neither far nor close, and it was difficult to see the hint of reluctance. If it's too close, it will cause more unnecessary troubles.
On the way back to Zhenshunzhai, I was still thinking about going back to the palace and asking Aunt Chen.
It is not certain how much Aunt Chen will reveal, and how much is true or false, but she will always say something, and most of it will be true.
Unexpectedly, I returned to Zhenshun Zhai, and there was already an emperor waiting for me. Qinrou had something on her mind. Although it was not peaceful since she entered the palace, there were no major ups and downs.
I never thought that there would be such an arrogant person in the palace!
How much do you deserve to be loved?
So much trouble. She was quite curious.
Because Qinrou was very uneasy, she returned to Zhenshunzhai and did not notice that the emperor was already in the bedroom.
Emperor Kangxi was sitting on a soft couch, with bright eyes and good ears. He had long heard Qin Rou’s footsteps coming in from outside. As soon as she stepped into the door from outside the palace, the emperor discovered She looked restless.
"This servant is waiting to welcome the concubine." Fushun, Cangzi and Aunt Chen all said loudly. It was no longer strange for the emperor to come to Zhenshunzhai, but the concubine still had to serve her well.
Qinrou didn’t react for a moment. There always seems to be a time when the world seems to have blocked you from the noise of the world. Everything cannot be seen, words cannot be heard, and everything cannot enter the heart.
Qin Rou seemed to be at this moment.
Kangxi could not help but frown, the worry between his brows was unconsciously revealed, and he looked like he was not thinking. Was he wronged?
"What other grievances have you suffered? Tell me, and I will get it back for you." The original worry became even more serious, and the emperor unconsciously softened his voice and coaxed.
Emperor Kangxi's sudden touch made Qinrou suddenly frightened for a moment. The moment she raised her head, she couldn't suppress the shock in her eyes. It wasn't until she recognized the emperor that the shock eased.
“I’m scared.” Kangxi touched Qinrou’s face. The shock was so obvious that Kangxi could feel it even without eyes.
"A little bit." After seeing the person clearly, Qin Rou relaxed her mood, smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and blurted out the words of apology, "I was distracted, your Majesty, forgive me."
Seeing that she was suddenly frightened like that, Kangxi was worried. It was strange that he wanted to pursue her fault.
"What's going on? Tell me," Emperor Kangxi led Qinrou to the soft couch. He looked at the servants serving him as if they were nothing, and his voice was much softer, with a bit of temptation. He coaxed: "He looks like he's not in his mind."
In fact, in Kangxi's eyes, these servants could never be regarded as individuals. At most, they were just useful tools.
It would be strange to be able to talk to the emperor. Qinrou followed the emperor and sat on the soft couch. She originally wanted to reply, but when she turned around, she found that she was even more surprised, "Why is the emperor coming here?"
Although if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising that the emperor would come. But when she suddenly saw the emperor in his bedroom, she was not without surprise.
After all, this harem is such a large area that the emperor cannot go anywhere. The area that the emperor can go to is quite wide.
"I came here to see you," Qinrou asked, and Emperor Kangxi also remembered the purpose of coming to Zhenshunzhai, "I already know what Fushun went to report, you are You are too courageous, and you didn’t reveal a word. If Fushun’s servants hadn’t been careful and insisted on pursuing the investigation, you would have been able to act as if nothing had happened.”
Only then did Qinrou realize that she came because of the night of the New Year's banquet. Just as she said, if that slave jumped out of the darkness and gave her a sap, how many lives would she have saved? Not a word was mentioned about such a threatening situation.
"Didn't Fushun go check it out?" Qinrou replied: "I just thought that I felt wrong." There was no basis for what he said, even though Qinrou didn't care much about it. Take it to heart, but more importantly, it is unfounded and cannot be trusted.
Don’t talk nonsense without evidence. You can eat indiscriminately, but it may not kill people; you can't speak indiscriminately, as it may kill people.
She was too lazy to spend such effort.
"So it's nothing, and I just forgot about it. Who would have thought that there was really a bad person here." Qin Rou defended her, although this was also true.
Moreover, she wanted to scare Xiaoman even more at that time. Her extra timid appearance made Qinrou particularly dissatisfied. She may not feel afraid of anyone. On the contrary, when Xiaoman was trembling and terrified, Qinrou followed Maomao. It can be seen that fear is contagious.
"You can still forget it." Emperor Kangxi was also angry with her that she could hide and forget such a thing. "During the New Year's Banquet, the wind was strong, the night was dark, and there were bursts of sobbing. It was the right time to let people relax their vigilance. A stick was struck from behind, and there was such a strong wind to cover it up." The emperor simply could not imagine the consequences.
Emperor Kangxi’s appointment to the throne was not always smooth sailing. Kangxi breathed out a breath and said, “When you go out from now on, take more minions with you. You can’t be away from others.”
No one is disrespectful. The slaves are also afraid of ghosts and gods when they stay away from them. Aren't they also afraid of ghosts and gods? But if the two servants Fushun and Cangzi came later, she herself would not notice anything wrong, and she would be afraid that there would be another wronged soul in the palace.
The emperor really didn't care if there would be one more innocent soul in the palace; were there always fewer innocent souls in the palace? He just can't tolerate people, and it touches his heart.
This is a provocation, choosing the authority of the emperor. It is also a provocation, his majesty.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty." Qin Rou said: "I'm used to being with my servant, and I can't live without my servant."
If a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, Qin Rou will not be able to stand upright. in danger.
It was okay not to know before, but now that he knows, he naturally understands the principle of taking precautions in the bud.
"I will definitely not let you suffer in vain." The emperor said. Just because it's hard to act rashly now doesn't mean there won't be opportunities in the future.
He is an emperor. Since he can capture Obei and gather the imperial power, he must also be able to protect the people he wants to protect.
"It's not a grievance at all. It's been so long, and the servant rarely feels fear when it comes to mentioning it again." If she wasn't wronged, how could the emperor plan to compensate her? Qinrou speculated.
Then she couldn't accept it. After all, it was the emperor's compensation, and every extra point was worth it.
Qinrou shook her head slightly, not wanting to ask more questions. Since the things and people had been handed over to the emperor, Qinrou would not ask again. Emperor Kangxi had his own arrangements! She won't worry about it. To avoid being ignorant and committing any taboos.
"Xunzi said that in the beginning, human nature is evil. Li Zhi also said that everyone is selfish; I would rather you have a bad temper and a bad temper, at least you can live a wanton life." The emperor sighed.
"It's not good to be too kind! You can only suffer yourself. If you have a more domineering temperament, at least others will suffer." Her kind temperament made the emperor unable to help but worry.
It took Qinrou a long while before she realized that Kangxi had called her 'evil'.
