Chapter 110: Nan escapes on his own
"Second Princess, you're finally awake!" Hongying was squatting beside the bed, and as soon as she saw Second Princess wake up, she immediately rushed over.
Shi Nanxi only felt a dull pain in her head, her body was as soft as noodles, and her mouth was dry and burning. She opened her eyes with difficulty, mumbling:
"Water, water, I want water."
Water? Hongying immediately got up and poured a glass of warm water on the table. She quickly returned to the bed, helped Ergege up, and said anxiously:
"The second princess water is here."
Shi Nanxi lowered her head and drank the water from Hongying's hand. She drank three cups in a row before stopping. She felt that her dry throat had finally gotten better and she gradually became more awake.
"Hongying, why am I here?"
She looked around and found herself lying on an unfamiliar bed. She then looked down and realized that her Manchu dress had been changed without her noticing.
Upon hearing this, Hongying put down the empty cup, pursed her lips, glanced at Ergege cautiously, and whispered tentatively:
"Second Princess, have you forgotten what happened after taking the Chinese medicine?"
What happens after taking Chinese medicine?
Shi Nanxi shook her head, and the next moment, discontinuous images slowly emerged in her mind, and her face turned pale instantly.
At this moment, he discovered from the corner of his eye that his exposed arms were covered with red marks. He was immediately shocked, panicked, and embarrassed, and pulled up his sleeves to cover them.
Seeing the Second Princess's reaction, Hongying immediately understood that the Second Princess was recalling the Chinese medicine.
Thinking of this, I thought of the boldness and enthusiasm of the Second Princess when she took Chinese medicine, and when I was washing and changing clothes for the Second Princess, there were spots on her body, especially on her chest, with almost no space at all.
Her face suddenly turned red, and then she looked at Ergege nervously and explained in a low voice:
"Second Princess, I was originally going to help you to the pond as planned, but on the way I met Xiao Chunzi, whom you have met before. He is the emperor's man. When he saw your situation, he immediately asked me to go with him.
I saw that you were already confused and couldn’t make it to the pool, so I gritted my teeth and followed you for fear of being discovered. Then, the emperor arrived…”
There was no need to elaborate on what was said afterwards, Shi Nanxi understood it. Her face became paler, but her heart was extremely calm.
How could she allow herself to completely lose her mind before she met Kangxi? So she naturally knew about her encounter with Xiao Chunzi. She even deliberately pulled her clothes when Xiao Chunzi came to her, and she also knew what happened afterwards.
But she didn’t expect Kangxi to be so patient. She thought he would turn into a ferocious beast, but... thinking of Kangxi’s reaction when he lost control later, she licked her lips secretly - Tsk, old men are just good at flirting!
She was impressed by Kangxi's rich experience, but her hands were gripping the quilt tighter. At this moment, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked with trembling lips:
"So was there a last word? Was there a last word?" She couldn't say any more. She felt embarrassed and panicked, and the quilt cover was twisted into a knot.
"No, no! Second Princess!"
Hongying quickly replied:
"Finally, Court Judge Liu arrived and gave you acupuncture. He also asked the servants to wipe you with cold water. You fell asleep at that time. Court Judge Liu checked your pulse again and said that you were fine. He just said that the aphrodisiac was a bit harmful to your body. You need to take more supplements to recover."
After hearing this, Shi Nanxi loosened her hands slightly, but the next moment she thought of what she had done to the emperor after taking the Chinese medicine, and her hands tightened again. A blush appeared on her pale face, and then she struggled to lift the quilt and get up.
Seeing this, Hongying quickly held down Ergege's hand and said anxiously:
"Second Princess, what are you doing?"
"Go back, I want to go back..."
Shi Nanxi lowered her head and bit her lips tightly, repeating this sentence over and over again. However, because her body was still very weak, she collapsed on the bed the next moment. Hongying was shocked:
"Second Princess, are you okay?"
Shi Nanxi slumped on the bed, her hip-length black hair falling from her thin shoulders, making her pale face look even more pitiful. She seemed not to have heard Hongying's words, and she kept repeating absentmindedly:
"I'm going back, I'm going back."
Seeing Ergege like this, Hongying felt worried and anxious:
"But, but after the emperor left, he sent someone to tell you to wait for him to come. If you leave, the emperor..."
When Shi Nanxi heard Hongying mention the emperor, her body froze, and the next moment she suddenly raised her voice:
"I want to go back!"
"But Your Majesty..." Hongying was startled.
She thought that Ergege might be shy for a while after waking up, but she would be more happy afterwards, because a few days ago she clearly saw Ergege peeking at the emperor with a red face, and kept saying that the emperor was very good, so she thought that Ergege liked the emperor...
"emperor?"
At this time, Shi Nanxi's eyes turned red and she could no longer hold back her tears, which began to fall.
"The Emperor is the Son of Heaven, the father of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and my elder. I have offended him boldly. If this gets out, the Emperor's holy name will be affected, and I will not be able to atone for it even if I die."
It turned out that she was worried about affecting the emperor's reputation, not because of the emperor... Hongying breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, Xiaochunzi, who heard the noise and came in thinking something had happened, paused.
Then he stepped forward again, bowed and said:
"Shi Ergege, are you okay?"
Hearing the noise, Shi Nanxi hurriedly wiped her tears, shook her head, and then told Hongying again: "Hongying, let's go back, let's go back quickly."
Seeing that the Second Princess insisted, Hongying no longer hesitated and helped her leave. Xiaochunzi wanted to stop her but failed. In the end, he could only watch the Second Princess Shi and her servant leave. He quickly asked someone to notify the Emperor.
On the other side, Kangxi and Tong Jiawan returned to the stage one after another, attracting everyone's attention.
Everyone's eyes seemed to have X-ray vision and they kept looking at the two of them. Of course, no one dared to look at the emperor for too long. After taking a look, they moved their gaze to Tong Jia Wanru.
Tong Jia Wanru's red cheeks had already been flushed, and now they became even redder.
This reaction seemed to confirm some kind of guess. Everyone immediately beat their chests and stamped their feet, hating themselves for not following Tong Jia Wanru's example and going out. Otherwise, wouldn't they have been able to be alone with the emperor?
Concubine Niu, Concubine Hui and others had been the masters of the palace for a long time, and they couldn't help but feel their hearts tighten when they saw this scene. Their first reaction was that they had finally managed to get rid of Empress Xiaoyi Ren, and now, were they going to have another one, Tong Jia, to come and put pressure on them?
The watery eyes of Concubine De also darkened at this moment, and her eyes were fixed on the lilac purse on the emperor's waist. She remembered that the emperor's purse was hung on the left side of his waist before, but now it was hung on the right side. Could it be...
The hands on the knees were tightly clenched in the palms, and the eyes looked at Tong Jia Wanru's rosy face again. It was Tong Jia again?
Although Kangxi had arrived at the stage at this moment, his heart was still on Shi Nanxi in the warm room, and he didn't pay any attention to the reactions of the people on the stage.
He sat back in his original seat, put one hand on his lips, and seemed to be watching the show seriously, but the scenes with Shi Nanxi just now kept appearing in his mind, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.
Concubine De has been keeping an eye on the Emperor. She rose from a palace maid and was more cautious than others. She also understood the Emperor better. When she saw the Emperor's expression, her heart suddenly sank. The Emperor was in a good mood at the moment.
The play on the stage was still going on, but the people in the audience had become absent-minded. Only the Empress Dowager was still listening to the play attentively.
At this time, there was another noise outside the door. It was Shi Rongyue who came back with the prince. The prince who was walking in front had his hands behind his back. He looked normal, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, and he looked very proud.
Previously, because of that Suochuolo Gege, Shi Da Gege had misunderstood him. He chased after her and explained everything, but Shi Da Gege was still angry and ignored him. It was not until he became anxious and couldn't help but confess his feelings that Shi Da Gege looked up and asked him:
"you like me?"
Although he felt embarrassed at the time, he was a real man and liked her, not to mention that she was the future Crown Princess chosen by his father, so he replied openly:
"like very much."
Shi Da Gege didn't answer after hearing this. She just looked at him and asked word by word:
"How much do you like it?"
He said without even thinking:
"I like you so much that I can get you anything you like."
After hearing this, Shi Da Gege finally stopped being angry with him, and the two of them went back to the stage together. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly glance at Shi Rongyue behind him.
At this moment, Shi Rongyue looked at Sisi's seat first, but found that Sisi was sitting upright and did not turn back when he heard the noise. She could not help but clench her hands, with emotions surging in her eyes.
She really likes Si Si. She has liked her since the modern times, and she likes her even more after seeing the real person in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the play "The Matchmaker" was being performed on the stage.
This play tells the story of Cui Yingying and the scholar Zhang Gong. Women in ancient times could do everything they could to pursue true love, so how could she, a modern woman, be inferior to a mere ancient woman?
A gleam of determination flashed in her eyes. Time was running out, and since Shi Nanxi could not be relied upon, she would do it herself.
