Chapter 342 Nan is a substitute? Online husband training
Shi Nanxi glanced at Kangxi and didn't move. She just stood there, lowered her eyes to look at Chen Da Ying who was knelt and begged for mercy, and asked only one question:
"Chen agreed, answer truthfully. Did you deliberately not reveal your identity when you entered the emperor's hot spring that day in the Rehe Palace?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Da Ying, who had just been kowtowing and begging for mercy, paused suddenly, then immediately shook his head to deny it, but everyone understood.
Kangxi's face became even darker. Shi Nanxi glanced at Kangxi indifferently and said nothing more. She waved her hand and asked the guards to take Chen Da Ying away.
Chen Da Ying was held up by someone again. She was dressed up specially and looked miserable. Looking at Concubine Xian who was so unattainable and seemed not to take her seriously, the hatred in her heart reached its peak in an instant and she was filled with malice.
"Noble Concubine Xian, do you think the emperor really loves you? You don't know, you got the emperor's supreme favor because you look like Empress Xiaocheng. You are just a substitute. Your current favor is fake. Don't... well..."
The guards who reacted after being shocked covered their mouths with their hands while the atmosphere at the scene suddenly froze.
Except for Kangxi and Shi Nanxi, the rest of the people knelt down silently, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.
Shi Nanxi's expression changed slightly. What did Chen agree to mean by this? Did she look a lot like the deceased Empress Xiaocheng?
I remember going to Kunning Palace once before, where there is a portrait of Empress Xiaocheng. Apart from the same oval face, I can't tell how they are similar? Maybe the painting is too abstract? Or maybe Chen Ying was unwilling to give up and deliberately alienated her from Emperor Kangxi?
Kangxi's face turned completely black now. He stepped forward and kicked Chen Shuren in the sole of his foot, knocking him to the ground.
"How dare you to sow discord in front of me and talk nonsense. You want to die, I will grant you your wish."
Chen Shu Ren was originally happy to see Concubine Xian's change of color, but the next moment she felt a pain in her heart and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. When she heard the emperor's words, her pupils suddenly shrank.
Die, no, she doesn't want to die!
Regardless of the pain in his body, Chen Shuren, whose face was pale, had an unprecedentedly active mind at this moment, and shouted before the emperor could speak:
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. Please spare my life as today is the auspicious day for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return home!"
Shi Nanxi was still thinking about the substitute. When she heard Chen Shuren's words, she raised her eyebrows slightly. It was indeed not a good day to get bloodstained on the day of the prince's return ceremony.
Thinking of this, she suddenly spoke slowly:
"Your Majesty, Chen Shuren was disrespectful in front of the emperor, but she also had a point. Today is a good day for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to return home, so it is not appropriate to stain her life with blood. Why not spare her life?"
Kangxi was so angry at Chen Shu that his face turned blue. It had been a long time since anyone dared to be so presumptuous in front of him.
After hearing what Shi Nanxi said, he regained his senses, suppressed his killing intent, looked at Chen Shuren with his phoenix eyes, and said word by word:
"Since Imperial Concubine Xian has spoken for you, I will spare your life."
Before Chen Shuren could show his joy, he changed the subject:
"But the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life cannot be avoided. I will punish you to clean the toilet in Yongxiang. This is the punishment. Drag you there."
"Wuwuwu..." Chen Shuren's mouth was covered tightly and she was dragged away. Her maid Yue'er also left with a pale face.
The whole pavilion suddenly became quiet and no one spoke for a while.
Liang Jiugong quickly gave a look to Nanny Yang and Hongying, and the three of them quickly and quietly retreated.
"Nanxi." Kangxi held Shi Nanxi's hand, wrapped her hand in his big hand, and looked down at her seriously.
"Don't listen to the nonsense I just said. You are not like Xiaocheng at all, and you are not a substitute. I don't do substitutes. I will openly pamper, love and protect the person I like. That person is you, Nanxi of the Guarjia clan."
Shi Nanxi looked at the big hand that was holding hers, and perhaps because she was holding it too tightly, veins were surging.
In fact, she also realized that she had confirmed in the main hall of Kunning Palace that Kangxi had a sense of responsibility and respect for the deceased Empress Xiaocheng. If it was a sense of responsibility and respect, why would he look for a replacement for Empress Xiaocheng?
It seemed that she was too nervous, and Shi Nanxi felt a little uneasy.
But looking at Shi Nanxi who lowered her eyes and remained silent, Kangxi's expression changed, and he subconsciously clenched his hands even tighter.
"Nanxi, what I said is true. I respect and feel responsible for Empress Xiaocheng, but I feel sorry for you and love you. I want to give you the best. I know this may not be fair to Empress Xiaocheng, but you are an unexpected surprise that I will never encounter again in my life. I..."
Before Kangxi could finish the rest of his words, Shi Nanxi suddenly interrupted him:
"Your Majesty, my hand hurts."
After saying this, Kangxi paused for a moment, hurriedly let go of his hand, then quickly held Shi Nanxi's small hand in his palm and looked at her.
Looking at the red marks on the little hand, Kangxi's eyes quickly flashed with a trace of annoyance. He lowered his eyelashes, raised his hand and gently rubbed the little hand, saying distressedly:
"I used too much force. Does it still hurt now?"
Shi Nanxi looked at Kangxi who was rubbing her hands carefully, and the corners of her mouth curled up subconsciously, but she said:
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much, it's all the Emperor's fault!"
"Yes, yes, it's all my fault." Kangxi said immediately.
Watching this scene, the knot in Shi Nanxi's heart that had just been caused by Chen's promise finally disappeared. She pulled her hand away, turned around and walked to the bench, complaining in a low voice:
"Your Majesty is strong and healthy, so you don't feel anything. But my weak body is exhausted after standing for such a long time."
He glanced at Kangxi who was standing there and snorted coldly:
"Your Majesty said that he likes me and loves me, but I think it's all fake. I didn't even notice that I was tired."
Kangxi was a little confused. They were talking about Chen Shuren, so why did they suddenly turn to the topic of him not loving her?
But Kangxi was Kangxi. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly reacted. Nanxi took the initiative to talk to him, which meant that she believed what he said.
He immediately walked over with big strides, sat next to the little girl, put his arm around her waist tightly, and apologized in a low voice:
"I know I was wrong. I forgot that Nanxi was weak and couldn't take care of herself. I will never make the same mistake again next time."
Weak and unable to take care of herself? Shi Nanxi glanced at Kangxi silently. She was so fake in her coaxing. She didn't even believe what she said. She was perfunctory.
Kangxi laughed softly:
"In my heart, Nanxi will always be a weak and helpless little girl that I will hold in my hands. Leave everything to me."
At this moment, Shi Nanxi admitted that she was a person who loved to hear sweet words. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and then she forced it to straighten, deliberately saying with a stern face:
"If Your Majesty encounters someone deliberately luring you here in the future, will you come here again?"
"No more."
“But when you want to punish someone, do you wait for him to finish playing the piano before you do it?
"No more."
"Next time another woman approaches the emperor, can the emperor avoid her in time?"
"can."
