When Li Si'er saw the person walking away and out of sight, she turned her head and whispered to Tao Hong: "You go, like this..."

After hearing this, Tao Hong's face changed: "Master, this..."

Li Sier glared at her and said, "What are you afraid of? No matter what happens, I will protect me."

At the same time, Wutong Courtyard.

Sheng Huan, who was reading a story to Yue Xing'an, paused for a moment, and a hint of interest flashed across his eyes.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Seeing his mother stop talking, Yue Xing'a was a little puzzled and turned to look at her.

"It's okay." Sheng Huan shook his head and pinched his nose gently: "Baby, now that we have finished reading this story, we have been reading for a long time, and our eyes can't bear it. Let's go out with mother to water the flowers and relax our eyes, okay?"

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Xing'a nodded excitedly and pulled Sheng Huan out of the room. When Nanny Li and the others heard that their master wanted to water the flowers, they acted quickly and brought buckets full of water in a short while.

Everyone felt guilty for not protecting their master yesterday, and they tried their best to do their best.

Sheng Huan didn't say anything. She looked at the colorful flowers in the yard, and a faint smile flashed across her eyes.

Since Li Si'er was going to do something, her original plan could be stopped, because Sheng Huan knew that Li Si'er was very brave and she would lure Kangxi here no matter what.

And she just needs to be innocent and clean.

However, in order to prevent deviation, she still has to add fuel to the fire.

"Mother, here's a water scoop for you." Yue Xing'a excitedly took two water scoops and handed one directly to Sheng Huan.

Sheng Huan touched his head and said, "Thank you, baby. You are so nice."

Yue Xing'a kept laughing, and the little guy seemed very carefree, not knowing what happened yesterday.

He put the scoop into the bucket, every move full of childishness.

Seeing this, Sheng Huan also started to water the flowers, but her way of watering was different from Yue Xing'a's. When the water in her ladle was sprinkled on the petals, it was faintly wrapped with an unknown fragrance.

The fragrance is very light and faint, hidden among the flowers, so it is inconspicuous and not afraid of being discovered.

"Mom, you're watering so slowly?" Yue Xing was watering the plants with great effort. He turned around to see his mother's progress and saw that she had only watered a little.

Sheng Huan was not aroused by the little guy's competitive spirit. Instead, he smiled and said, "Our Yue Xing'a is really amazing. He has already poured a lot of water. He is really strong."

Upon hearing this, Yue Xing'a raised his head proudly and said, "Yes, I am very strong, mother, look!"

Having said that, the little fellow started to move again with great interest.

In the sunshine, Sheng Huan looked at Yue Xing'a, his cold brows slowly relaxed, revealing a little warmth beneath the frost.

In the main courtyard, Tong Guowei, who was lying in bed recuperating, did not expect that Kangxi would come in person. He was shocked and tried to get up immediately.

Kangxi came over quickly and held his hand: "Uncle, there is no need to be polite."

Tong Guowei smiled weakly: "I am honored that you have come in person. Besides, etiquette cannot be abolished."

"I am leaving the palace incognito today, so I am not bound by those etiquettes."

Kangxi's thoughtfulness made Tong Guowei smile more and more.

At this moment, a maid came in with tea.

"Dear guest, please have some tea."

Liang Jiugong had been following behind Kangxi. Seeing this, he stepped forward to take the tea, tested it with a silver needle, and seeing that the needle did not change color, he calmly handed the tea over.

The maid didn't pay much attention to it and just went downstairs after bringing the tea.

Kangxi took the tea presented by Liang Jiugong, lifted the tea lid and took a sip, then spoke something to Tong Guowei and Longkodo.

"You finally came here, why don't you have a meal at home before leaving? At this time of year, there are spring bamboo shoots. When my sister was at home, she loved this fresh bite the most. You can stay and try some."

When Tong Guowei met Kangxi, no one knew what he was thinking. His eyes were dazed, as if he was recalling something.

Hearing him mention his biological mother, Kangxi did not refuse. After all, he had nothing to do today: "Then I'll trouble you, uncle."

"No, no, I am already very grateful that you can stay."

The wait for the meal was quite long. Tong Guowei was weak and felt a little tired even though he was holding on. Kangxi did not want to disturb him, so Longkodo took Kangxi for a few rounds in the mansion, especially to the place where Empress Xiaokangzhang used to live. On the way, he recalled some past events.

"Master, Madam Li is in trouble and is bleeding a lot!"

Halfway through, a servant ran over in panic and knelt down, looking terrified.

When Longkodo heard this, his face changed drastically and he was about to leave. However, when he saw Kangxi, he stopped.

Kangxi didn't know what had happened, but seeing the panicked look on the servants' faces, he knew what had really happened. It was useless to force Longkodo to stay, so he said generously:

"Go and do your work."

Longkodo was a little hesitant, but it was the first time he saw the servants who took care of Li Si'er like this, so he was a little panicked and worried that he had neglected Kangxi:

"Then you..."

"Nothing, just call me when it's time to eat... I'll be fine."

Kangxi did not want the servants of the Tonggiya Mansion to know his identity, so he used a roundabout way to hide his title.

"Minister, I will be back in a moment."

Longkodo finally bowed, turned and left.

Kangxi looked at his back and saw that he did not look back. His eyes were dim, his hands behind his back were motionless, and he looked dignified and calm.

Liang Jiugong was somewhat surprised by Longkodo's behavior and couldn't help secretly glancing at his back. He never expected that he would really leave like this and leave the Emperor here?

Do you know what it means that the emperor’s heart is hard to predict?

Kangxi withdrew his gaze and was about to leave. At this moment, he saw a servant with an ordinary face coming over: "Dear guest, the meal is ready, Master and Madam, please go over first."

"Where's Longkodo?"

Kangxi asked casually. Although he was cautious by nature, he did not think that anyone in Tongjia Mansion would harm him. After all, there were so many people in the dark.

"The master is coming."

Kangxi nodded.

It was not until he was brought to a yard by a servant that he suddenly underwent some drastic changes all around him.

His eyes also turned scarlet instantly.

"Long live the Lord!"

Liang Jiugong didn't know what happened to Kangxi suddenly, but when he saw his flushed face and dazed eyes, his heart skipped a beat. Before he could do anything, he saw the Emperor rushing into a room.

"Ah! You, who are you? How did you get in? Get out!"

In the room, a woman's scream was heard. Liang Jiugong's face changed drastically. When he followed into the room, he saw that Kangxi had already pushed the person onto the bed regardless of the resistance of the person in the room.

With a "rip!" sound, some cloth was torn open, revealing a glimpse of spring scenery.

Liang Jiugong narrowed his eyes and lowered his head, then quickly retreated. When he came out, he noticed the woman's bun from the corner of his eye, and his expression finally changed completely, but he closed the door lightly with his hands.

"catch him!"

After coming out, Liang Jiugong pointed at the servant who brought them here with a sinister look and then quickly ran away.

Seeing that the matter was exposed so quickly, the servant ran even faster, but he was soon caught by the guards hiding in the dark.

"Tell me, who ordered you to do this? Did you drug the emperor and murder him? Your crime is punishable by nine generations of your clan. Come here and confess your crime immediately!"

Kangxi looked like he had been drugged, and the woman in the room must be someone else. She might be the woman of a master in the mansion. Moreover, the courtyard is very large, so her status should not be low. If that is the case, it would be unreasonable for her to drug someone and ruin her own innocence. No one knew in advance that His Majesty was coming today.

Liang Jiugong thought about how Longkodo was called away by some Madam Li just now, his face darkened and an idea flashed through his mind.

Could it be that His Majesty was caught up in the dispute between Longkodo’s wives and concubines, and became the “adulterer” who was framed by one woman against another?

If it were someone else, it would be easy to handle, but this is Tongjia Prefecture. His Majesty has always shown some preferential treatment to Tongjia Prefecture. Under the current circumstances, Liang Jiugong doesn't know how to handle this matter.

When the servant heard Liang Jiugong calling him "Your Highness", he was stunned and quickly knelt on the ground, frightened to the point of peeing.

"It's not me, it's not me, it's not me! I, I was just following Madam Li's orders, it really wasn't me!"

His Majesty is all-powerful and the servant dare not hide anything from him. Besides, how can Li Si'er compare with His Majesty?

Liang Jiugong thought to himself, "Sure enough, it's Madam Li's fault. She calls herself Madam, so she's the legitimate wife? But the layout of this courtyard doesn't look like a concubine's residence. Who is this person in there?" The more he thought about it, the more annoyed Liang Jiugong became:

"Who's in there? Tell me!"

The servant kowtowed: "Yes, it's the young lady!"

Liang Jiugong's expression finally changed. Tong Guowei had four sons, and the only one who could be called the young lady was Longkodo's wife.

But who was the woman who claimed to be Madam whom he met when he followed His Majesty into the palace not long ago?

Madam Li? I call myself Madam? How dare you!

The person inside was really the young lady. Liang Jiugong thought about it and beads of sweat quickly appeared on his forehead. He was still struggling for the last time: "You are not lying?! Is she really the wife of guard Tong Jia?"

The servant was trembling with fear. He thought it was just a small matter and that he would hurt Madam Li. He did not expect that it would involve His Majesty. His face turned pale. "My servant, I dare not lie. It is really our master's wife, Hesheli!"

"Mrs. Li is a concubine?"

"It's my concubine."

Liang Jiugong staggered and ordered someone to arrest the servant. Fearing that he might make a sound, he stuffed his mouth with a rag.
