Chapter 192: Nanxi Awakens 3 Eagles
Shi Nanxi's hand on the bed suddenly moved slightly. Kangxi, who was sitting beside the bed, noticed it at the first moment. He held the girl's hand in surprise.
"Nanxi." The voice was soft and gentle, for fear of scaring Shi Nanxi who had just woken up.
Shi Nanxi's eyelashes trembled, and the blurry ceiling of the bed slowly came into view. She slowly opened her eyes and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.
"……emperor?"
Just as he finished speaking, his brain gradually regained consciousness. He recalled the scene he saw before he lost consciousness, Fanghua and the emperor... His already pale face suddenly became transparent.
Kangxi knew that she was thinking of the misunderstanding before she fell into a coma, and he felt pity for her. He immediately explained:
"It's me. I have nothing to do with Fanghua. You misunderstood. I came to see you today and you happened to be away, so Fanghua had the audacity to think of something wrong. I was anxious to find you and just told her to get out. I didn't expect her to say that she was serving me on your orders. I was shocked and didn't have time to get rid of her. As a result, you happened to come back at that time."
Kangxi still feels angry and scared when he thinks of the scene that happened not long ago. If it weren't for the fact that Fanghua accidentally uncovered the secret of Musk, she would not only die, but her family would also have to apologize.
In addition to Kangxi and Shi Nanxi, there were Liang Jiugong and three others who had just heard the noise and were waiting outside the bead curtain to serve, as well as Liu Yuanpan who rushed over from the side hall for a follow-up examination after hearing that the empress had woken up.
The four of them did not expect such words and were shocked. Since when did the emperor need to explain his actions?
Liu Yuanpan couldn't help but think of his father's instructions to him, asking him to take good care of Concubine Xian without violating any principles. After a lot of thoughts in his mind, he instantly decided to listen to his father.
Shi Nanxi was a little flustered and sad because of Fanghua, but after listening to Kangxi's explanation, she realized that she had misunderstood everything.
"Your Majesty, my concubine..."
She bit her lip lightly and wanted to explain, but then she remembered her "shameful" thoughts, and her mouth opened and closed, not knowing how to explain.
Kangxi saw through the little girl's thoughts and smiled slowly.
"I know that Concubine Xian is a jealous person..."
He said casually:
"But I just like to see Concubine Xian jealous."
It seemed like just a joke, but among the people present, only Liu Yuanpan, who was unaware of the situation, secretly sighed that Empress Xian was indeed favored.
The other three people understood that the emperor was personally promising to allow Concubine Xian to be jealous.
Liang Jiugong lowered his head even lower, his heart shaken. The emperor was taught by the Empress Dowager herself!
After being stunned for a moment, Nanny Yang and Hongying clenched their fists excitedly. If there hadn't been outsiders around, they would have almost cried for joy.
Shi Nanxi's body stiffened at first, and then he looked at Kangxi in disbelief.
"emperor……"
Feeling the strength in the girl's hand, Kangxi turned around and clasped the girl's fingers together.
Shi Nanxi stared at the two people's interlocked hands in a daze, but a smile flashed in her eyes when she lowered her eyes.
If you want to be the only one favored, you need to do it step by step. How can you ask for it right away? That would make you seem too greedy and insatiable in front of Kangxi.
It would be better to start with the woman's jealousy and let Kangxi know her possessiveness of him and that she doesn't want to see him favor other concubines. As time goes by, Kangxi will gradually get used to her jealousy and possessiveness, and by then he will have already favored her alone without realizing it.
It would take a long time to get to that point, but she was in no rush. If she wanted to get what she wanted, she had to take her time and be patient.
The misunderstanding was resolved and Kangxi didn't want to mention Fanghua again.
"You just woke up. I'll let Liu Yuanpan take another look at you."
After saying that, he looked outside the bead curtain.
"Xuanliu Court Judgment."
Outside the pearl curtain, upon hearing the order, Liu Yuanpandiao calmed down, followed Liang Jiugong, bowed, and took Empress Xian's pulse again.
"How is Empress Xian?" Kangxi asked. Even though he knew that the little girl would be fine after waking up, he was still a little worried.
Liu Yuanpan withdrew his hand.
He bowed and replied:
"Your Majesty, Empress Xian will be fine once she wakes up, but she is still a little weak, and was damaged by the musk..."
"Damaged by musk?" At this time, Shi Nanxi on the bed came back to her senses and looked at Liu Yuanpan with some confusion.
Judge Liu immediately stopped talking. Kangxi held the little girl's hand and said soothingly:
"It's okay, it's just..."
After hesitating for a while, Kangxi still told her everything that had happened before. With so many concubines present, everyone knew about it, and the girl would know it sooner or later. Rather than hiding it from her and letting her have wild thoughts and hurt her body, it would be better to tell her.
Besides, the little girl had a blessing in disguise and was not seriously injured.
After hearing what Kangxi said, Shi Nanxi looked stunned, as if she had not expected such a thing to happen after she woke up from a faint.
Looking at the silent little girl,
Kangxi An said:
"Don't worry, I will give you an explanation about Musk..."
Shi Nanxi came back to her senses, a little confused:
"I am not afraid as long as the emperor is here, but I never thought that Caiguo, Fangzi, Xiaoxinzi and the others would harm me. I am always very kind to them, so why would they betray me..."
Seeing the little girl's confused look, Kangxi said distressedly:
"You are fine. It is their evil intentions that have nothing to do with you. There are countless servants in Changchun Garden in this palace who want to serve you. They are all ungrateful servants. No matter how well you treat them, they will not be grateful. When you are fine, you can personally select the servants you like to serve you."
Hearing this, Shi Nanxi's eyelashes trembled. With Kangxi's words, she could fill the positions of Caiguo and the others with the servants she had chosen before.
She pursed her lips and asked hesitantly:
"Really? It's not that I'm not good enough?"
Kangxi nodded affirmatively:
"Of course it's true. You are fine. You don't have to worry about taking up a disloyal slave."
He didn't want the little girl to feel sad for those traitorous servants, so he changed the subject:
"Also, the Imperial Concubine's improper management of the harem has caused rumors to spread all over Changchun Garden. I have removed her power from the harem. You should take good care of yourself. When you are well, I will hand over the power to you."
Palace power, Shi Nanxi's heart moved, of course she wanted it, but she had been in the palace too recently, had little experience, and had too few people to use. If she rashly managed the harem, she would probably be cheated. However, this opportunity was rare...
His mind was racing, but he was stunned for a moment, then he quickly shook his head:
"Your Majesty, I have just entered the palace and have never learned how to manage palace affairs. I am unable to take on such a heavy responsibility. Let Concubine Hui and her sisters take charge. They have assisted the Imperial Concubine in managing the harem for many years and are very experienced. They can better manage the harem and not cause trouble for Your Majesty."
Hearing the words of Concubine Hui and others assisting in managing the harem, Kangxi's eyes darkened. It was because they had assisted the Imperial Concubine in managing the harem for many years and had great power, otherwise why would today's case have ended in such a whimper.
Although the little girl was Empress Xian, she didn't even have a few servants to use. He let the great Empress Xian be murdered without anyone knowing. Thinking of this, he became more determined.
"It's okay. When you're better, you can learn slowly. There's no rush."
"Your Majesty..." Shi Nanxi pursed her lips. Knowing that the emperor was doing this for her, she had to change the subject:
"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, I mentioned before that musk has damaged my body. Wait, musk has damaged my body..."
As Shi Nanxi was talking, she finally reacted and a look of horror suddenly appeared on her face.
