Wutongyuan

Sheng Huan sat leaning against the head of the bed, with obvious marks of strangulation on her fair neck. Apart from a period of emotional ups and downs when she was rescued, she hadn't uttered a word since then, and a gloomy and dead air lingered around her.

"Madam, you..."

Feng Qi and Feng Hua were worried and wanted to say that a concubine committing suicide was a capital crime, but they quickly realized that the lady in front of them was not a concubine, but she was already the emperor's person, and whether she lived or died depended on the emperor's order.

I could only compromise and advise: "Madam, the wound on your neck needs to be treated, otherwise your throat will hurt. Also, you haven't eaten for too long, your stomach will not be able to bear it..."

Eunuch Li stood aside, so anxious that he didn't know what to say. He had just arrived and had already messed up his job. He didn't know how to tell his master, and it was even more difficult to explain to the Emperor.

So much time has passed, and he didn't know whether the master's letter had come back. Thinking of this, he gave Feng Qi and Feng Hua a look and quietly retreated.

Sheng Huan ignored them and was too lazy to speak. He even turned his head to face the bed, as if he was in a world of his own, isolating all of them from the outside.

Feng Qi and Feng Hua were helpless, but even so, they didn't dare to leave, for fear that Sheng Huan would do something stupid again.

The two of them stayed by the bed. They didn't know how much time had passed, but no one noticed that Sheng Huan's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly.

Not long after Eunuch Li came out, he found that his master had come. Not only that, the Emperor had also come.

He was shocked and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Long live the Lord, good luck to you."

Kangxi's eyes fell on the tightly closed door. He already knew everything and his eyes were deep:

"how?"

Eunuch Li looked embarrassed and shook his head: "Madam has woken up, but she is in a bad mood and has not said a word. Fengqi and Fenghua also said that Madam has not drunk a single grain of rice and water today, so no matter how we persuade her, it will be useless."

Kangxi's eyes darkened, and he stroked the ring in his hand. Thinking of something, he said, "Where's her child? Bring him in."

Eunuch Li was startled and bowed quickly: "Yes."

Liang Jiugong stood silently behind Kangxi. Hearing this, he was a little surprised that the His Majesty was so patient with that woman. It would have been fine if he had just let her leave the palace, but he even sent the child in to persuade her.

Yue Xing'a was tense all over when he was brought here. He hadn't seen his mother for a whole morning and couldn't go out. Now that he was out, he kept staring at Kangxi vigilantly. The little guy clenched his fists, his eyes were full of defense, and he glanced into the house from time to time. The worry in the eyes of the little guy who couldn't hide his emotions was obvious.

Kangxi was relatively gentle to the little wolf cub: "Go in."

Yue Xing'a did not move, fearing that the enemy was plotting a trick.

Although the child was young, he did not know the difference between superiors and subordinates. Liang Jiugong wanted to step forward and scold him, but was stopped by Kangxi.

He said, "Your mother is in there, she is injured."

The little guy's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately rushed in and shouted:

"Eniang!"

In the room, Sheng Huan finally moved when he heard Yue Xing'a's voice.

Before he could turn around completely, the little guy jumped into his arms.

"Mother, wuwuwu, I was locked up this morning and couldn't find you!" The little guy was complaining about his grievances. When he looked up, he saw the marks on Sheng Huan's neck and burst into tears immediately: "Mother, why are you hurt? Did that person bully you again? Mother, it's my fault. It's all because I'm too young and useless. Mother, don't worry, I'll go and avenge you right away!"

Sheng Huan finally stopped being indifferent when she saw Yue Xing'a. She hugged him and saw him crying like this. She looked distressed and said, "Baby, Mom is fine. It wasn't that person. Mom accidentally fell down."

Her voice was hoarse and a little dull, obviously because her throat was choked, or perhaps she had shouted for too long yesterday and her voice was very dry.

“Mother, your voice, why, why is it like this…” Yue Xing’a didn’t understand, he felt worried, scared and anxious.

"Baby, mommy is fine, don't worry."

She rubbed Yue Xing'a's head. Her voice was soft and gentle like water. Her cold eyebrows were also touched by the warmth and gradually broke the ice.

Outside the house, Kangxi listened to the woman's hoarse but gentle voice and how she coaxed the child. Her gentle motherly heart moved his heart slightly. He thought of the cold voice that scolded him last night and his heart suddenly felt hot for some reason.

Thinking of Yue Xing'a's words, that person bullied others? Was it Longkodo?

"Young master, the lady is thirsty. She will feel better if she drinks some water." Feng Qi saw this and immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to Yue Xing'a.

Yue Xing'a didn't know Feng Qi, but after hearing what she said, she thought it made sense. She took the teacup and handed it to Sheng Huan obediently: "Mother, drink some water."

"Thank you baby."

Sheng Huan did not refuse Yue Xing'a. He nodded and took it. He drank a sip of water, but looked at him without blinking. Tears filled his eyes unconsciously. He choked uncontrollably, but tried his best to smile at him.

"Mother, why are you crying?" Yue Xing'a looked at his mother like this and also wanted to cry.

"Something fell into your eye just now. It's okay, baby. It's out now." She put down the teacup, hugged the little guy tightly, patted his back, but her cheek was buried deeply in his shoulder.

At this moment, a slight "creaking" sound came from outside the house, and the door of the inner room was quickly opened again.

Then, a tall man in a black robe walked in with his hands behind his back. There was no emotion on his dignified face at this time. Liang Jiugong bowed and walked in behind him.

Feng Qi and the other man were about to salute and speak when they saw the man looking at them.

They understood and retreated quietly.

After everyone left, Kangxi raised his eyes and looked at the happy mother and son on the bed.

They apparently did not notice his arrival.

Looking from this angle, he found that the woman's eyes and eyebrows were even colder than when they first met, and even had a hint of sadness and gloom.

"I heard that you wanted to die."

He spoke lightly. If he didn't speak, he didn't know when the mother and son would find him.

Sheng Huan, who was sitting motionless on the bed holding Yue Xing'a, finally moved after hearing the voice. He turned around stiffly, and when he saw that it was Kangxi, his eyes suddenly narrowed for a moment.

She hugged Yue Xing'a even tighter in her arms.

At that moment, Kangxi saw many, many emotions in her eyes, so complex that they were difficult to distinguish.

"You want to die? What do you mean by death? Mother, mother, I don't want you to die!"

Yue Xing'a looked up when he heard the voice, and became alert when he saw Kangxi. When he heard his words, he immediately hugged Sheng Huan in fear, with tears in his little eyes.

There was a hint of bitterness between Sheng Huan's eyebrows and he was speechless.

Kangxi raised his hand.

Liang Jiugong understood and walked straight to the bedside: "Young Master, Madam and His Majesty have something else to do, let's go down first."

Yue Xingabuyi wanted to say something, but his mother gently touched his head and passed him away.

"Be good, baby, go out first, okay."

"Okay." Yue Xing'a stopped making trouble after hearing that, but he was a little unhappy. Liang Jiugong immediately bowed, picked up the person and left, closing the door.

Kangxi discovered that after Yue Xing'a left, the gentleness between the woman's eyebrows and eyes quickly faded, replaced by a distant and cold look, as if everything just now was an illusion.

The contrast was so strong that I instantly returned to last night's state.

When their eyes met, her clear eyes met the man's deep eyes.

After a long while, she finally seemed to react. She stood up and got out of bed. When her toes landed on the ground, she felt obviously uncomfortable. They were so soft that it seemed like something hurt. She frowned slightly but soon regained her composure. She knelt down while resisting the pain.

"I am sorry for your disrespect. I bow to your Majesty."
