Soon, the imperial edict spread throughout the palace.

Shocking!

Everyone was shocked!

Last night, everyone knew that the person who rescued the emperor would definitely enter the palace, but they never expected that she had that kind of identity before. Not only had she been married, but she had just become a widow today!

This widow hasn't even been a widow for a day! How, how did she enter the palace? Your Majesty is so confused! How can this decision be so absurd?

At the same time, she also felt that Hesheli was lucky, otherwise how could she have such great wealth and become a concubine in the palace even after her husband died, with such a high status.

It’s not enough to have a title, but she is also a royal concubine!

Everyone knows that His Majesty is very stingy when it comes to promotions. Over the years, no one has had this kind of starting point.

What does it mean to be conferred the title of Imperial Concubine for the first time?

Now she has risen to the position of Noble Consort, second only to the Imperial Noble Consort, and the other concubines in the palace cannot catch up even if they try their best.

Everyone was puzzled and alert, and they all thought of the Imperial Noble Consort in Chengqian Palace. They were filled with jealousy and disbelief, and couldn't help but watch the show with a sense of gloating, because the one who died was the Imperial Noble Consort's own brother, and the one who entered the palace was her former sister-in-law.

I don’t know what the Imperial Concubine thought after hearing the news, but she was more emotional than them...

Cheng Qiangong

With a "click", the book in the Imperial Concubine's hand fell, and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

"Master..." Yue Xin's eyes were filled with worry.

The Imperial Concubine grabbed her hand, her fingers trembling:

"Longkodo died, how could it be so sudden?"

Yue Xin held her hand, not knowing what to say, so she could only say with a bitter face: "My Lord, I am in mourning."

The Imperial Concubine was confused and her mind was blank:

"That person, that person is really Hesheli, Longkodo's wife?"

Yue Xin nodded with difficulty.

The Imperial Concubine had a dazed look in her eyes, frantically searching for Hesheli's information and appearance in her mind. She had only seen Hesheli once, not long after Longkodo got married. Her mother handed a name card to the palace and took Hesheli with her to let her recognize her. But it had been so long that she only remembered that Hesheli was a beauty, and had no impression of anything else.

The Imperial Concubine didn't understand: "The Emperor already knew her identity, why did he let her into the palace? Longkodo just died, can't he wait a moment longer?"

"Why, still with this position and this title!"

The title "Xi" makes me wonder what the Emperor is thinking.

Yue Xin knew that she was sad, but she could only comfort her: "My Lord, His Majesty didn't know that it was Young... Hesheli. What's more, His Majesty personally carried her into the palace and into the Qianqing Palace last night. They had physical contact, and that person saved His Majesty's life. His Majesty will not ignore it..."

If His Majesty doesn't intervene, won't Hesheli die?

All I can say is that Hesheli was extremely lucky. Not only did she save the Emperor, but her husband also committed suicide by running to the back mountain in the middle of the night and was taken away by a wild beast, leaving no trace of his body.

Ci'an Palace

Although the Empress Dowager did not intervene, she was also shocked. Especially after hearing that Kangxi had been assassinated, she became extremely anxious and quickly sent someone to invite him over.

"My son, I have met the emperor's mother."

"Emperor, come here quickly. I heard that you had an accident outside the palace. What happened?"

The Empress Dowager was so anxious that she stepped forward and grabbed him, looking him up and down. She also glared at Liang Jiugong with a cold look in her eyes: "Liang Jiugong, how could you not send someone to tell me about such a big thing!"

Liang Jiugong apologized repeatedly and knelt down.

Kangxi shook his head and helped the Empress Dowager to the couch: "Don't blame him, Empress Dowager. I'm fine. It was me who didn't let him come."

"What exactly is going on?" the Queen Mother asked.

Kangxi's expression was slightly gloomy: "We encountered an assassin, but it was resolved without any danger."

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief and began to ask other questions: "I heard that Hesheli saved you?"

Kangxi nodded: "If it weren't for her, I would be the one lying in bed today."

"Hesheli has made great contributions, but Your Majesty, isn't this status too high, and isn't this title too grand?" The Empress Dowager only had confusion on her face, without revealing any other emotions.

Kangxi shook his head and said solemnly, "My Queen Mother, if it weren't for her, the thorn would have pierced my son's heart that day."

He pressed the jade ring in his hand, his eyes deep and serious: "The grace of saving my life is like a rebirth. It has already been wronged for her to be a good wife and cannot be. The character 'Xi' is the most suitable."

The Queen Mother was stunned and said nothing more.

After Kangxi left, the maid served tea to the empress dowager and seemed a little puzzled: "My lord, why are you..."

She thought that the Empress Dowager asked the Emperor to come because she was opposed to it, after all, Concubine Xi's initial title was too high. She didn't expect that the Empress Dowager just asked and that was it.

The Queen Mother knew what the maid wanted to ask and shook her head slightly: "The Emperor is the Emperor, and he is an emperor with great power. If he wants, no one can stop him."

Although she is the stepmother, not the biological mother. The emperor respects and honors her, so she should not lose her sense of propriety and dream of other things.

This has always been her way of survival, otherwise, she would not be the stable empress dowager today.

As for Concubine Xi's identity, although it was a little inappropriate, but as the emperor said, she was given a new life, so she didn't need to say anything more.

The Empress Dowager picked up the teacup and blew on it. Mist rose and obscured all the emotions on her face.

Sheng Huan woke up around noon. As soon as he woke up, the first thing he saw was a bright yellow gauze curtain.

She seemed dazed and confused, and suddenly sat up.

As soon as she stood up, she was pulled into the man's arms.

The man's forehead touched hers in a familiar way, and he said in a low voice: "Yeah, it's okay."

Sheng Huan pushed him away suddenly, only to find that the man was dressed differently from before. Today, he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, which made him look tall, handsome and majestic. However, she just glanced at him, her heart sank when her eyes quickly fell on the unfamiliar layout and various valuable, rare and royal ornaments.

"This, this is not Zhuangzi."

She opened her mouth, her mood was low and her voice was a little hoarse.

Kangxi did not answer, nor was he angry when he was pushed away. Instead, he picked up the teacup beside him and said, "Drink some water to moisten your throat first."

Sheng Huan didn't move, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she uttered a few words: "So, this is... the palace?"

She suddenly raised her head and looked at Kangxi. There seemed to be tears in her eyes, but they disappeared quickly, just like the plum blossoms in winter, never showing weakness easily. However, her fingers grasped the bed sheet, revealing a little unrest:

"Why am I here?"

Kangxi rubbed her eyes, and seeing her like this, he felt a little sad: "You had a fever again last night. The imperial physician in the palace is better."

"Your Majesty, I thank you." She lowered her eyebrows and thanked you politely. She bit her lip and said, "Your Majesty, I am now well. Please, please let me leave the palace first and pretend that I have never been here."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was suddenly pulled over by the man and held in his arms. Her chin was lifted up by the man and he kissed her with a dark and crazy look in his eyes.

"Pan Shu, I won't let you leave."

When Kangxi heard the word Pan Shu, his heart swelled. Now, he could openly call her by her maiden name.

"You're crazy!" She raised her voice unconsciously, her voice was dry, as if she was holding back her breath, and her eyes gradually frosted: "Do you know what you are doing? Have you considered how I would survive if the news got out?"

Kangxi felt her panic and anger, and this panic was mixed with resistance. At this moment, he knew that he had not given her enough sense of security. Perhaps, it was precisely because their beginning was not glorious that she had been resisting his approach.

His heart sank slightly, and he pulled her closer, letting her body press against his chest. He lowered his eyes to look at her and promised: "None of this will happen. No one dares to talk about you. If anyone wants to talk, they will talk about me."
