Chapter 187
187. Bloody Battle in the Palace
"It's windy, I'll close the window." Wen Xi turned around and walked out of the west window.
But Kangxi stood up suddenly, hurried to catch up, and grabbed Wen Xi's hand, which was soft and cool, and asked, "Do you feel cold?" So, without waiting for Wen Xi's answer, she He took off the cloak on his body and put it on Wen Xi's shoulders.
Kangxi wrapped his arms around Wen Xi's waist from behind, "Tonight is the full moon, the evening clouds gather to overflow the cold, and the silver man turns the jade plate silently. This night will not grow well in this life, where will the bright moon next year be seen?"
But Wen Xi couldn't help squinting her eyes vigilantly and looking at the pitch-black distance, frowned and said: "It seems that someone is spying on this kind of thing!"
Kangxi didn't care about it at all, and said with a smile: "Who has the guts? Peeping at the emperor's daily life is a capital offense!"
Wen Xi frowned, "Thirty feet away... seems to be someone..." Thirty feet away was beyond the detection range of her mental power, and she could only vaguely catch a suspicious figure with her eyes. Gone, can't find it.
Kangxi couldn't help bursting out laughing, and said: "It's almost three o'clock, it's pitch black outside, and you can see things thirty feet away?"
Wen Xi patiently explained: "A person who cultivates immortals has six senses twice as much as ordinary people??? Obviously there was just now, but now it's gone!"
Kangxi snorted and said with a smile, "Maybe it's the patrolling guards."
Wen Xi paid too much attention to the outside, only to realize that being held in Kangxi's arms, her back touched the ribs under his clothes, which was a little annoying.Wen Xi wanted to push him away, but her movements froze for a moment.Forget it, just hold it, you won't lose a piece of meat.
"Do you know how much I miss you?" Suddenly.Kangxi said something in Wen Xi's ear, which sounded very sensational.
But Wen Xi rolled her eyes at the cold wind and bright moon outside the west window: While thinking about me, she created two pregnant women, fuck you!
Kangxi silently lifted up the horseshoe sleeve of his right hand, revealing a severe burn that had spread to the wrist covered by the sleeve. It was like a layer of skin had been cut off.It was on the way south.Kong Shangren once said that Kangxi's hands were burned.
"That day, Chengqian Palace was on fire, you really scared me. I thought you..." Kangxi's throat was full of sobs, "Later when I saw swans flying by in the sky, I thought it was your soul went."
Wen Xi continued to remain silent.No one has a heart of stone, but if they are moved by a little bit, they have to go back?Wen Xi shook her head fiercely in her heart, at worst, she should give him some compensation, it is absolutely impossible to use herself as compensation!
"Later, we searched the wreckage of Chengqian Palace and found that there were no remains at all. And Madam Fu reported that the original gold and silver objects in the warehouse of Chengqian Palace, things that should not have been burned in the fire were gone!" Said Seeing Kangxi, his teeth itch with anger.
The corners of Wen Xi's mouth raised slightly.It's not just things that are indispensable in the fire, those things that can be burned up in the fire, such as the high-quality silk in stock, the priceless leather, etc., were all packed away by her!
"I was almost mad at you!" Kangxi's chest heaved, "I swear that I will catch you back!" Then a smile appeared between his lips and teeth, and he blew warm air into Wen Xi's ear and said, "Now, you are in my arms Now, my anger is gone."
Wen Xi said nothing.Immediately push away his hands around his waist, don't push too hard, okay!Can't help but subconsciously looked outside again.Feeling that someone was peeping, he hurried to close the window.But just after closing half of it, Kangxi grabbed Wen Xi's wrist and said, "I have something for you to see." Without waiting for Wen Xi's rebuttal, he took her hand and walked to Yu An.
Kangxi lowered his head to search for the mountain of memorials, while Wen Xi watched silently from the side.Kangxi seemed to be in a hurry to find something, and murmured: "I remember it was put here????" The more he searched, the more messy the memorials on the table became, and the harder it was to find.
Unable to find it, Kangxi could only shout to the outside world: "Liang Jiugong, where is that letter?!"
Liang Jiugong belonged to the kind who was on call. He hadn't seen him for several years. Wen Xi could also see that the old eunuch was getting old. The wrinkles around his eyes were a little deeper. It seemed that he was getting closer to retirement.But the legs and feet seemed to be quite nimble, so he came in and called a thousand in a hurry, "Your Majesty, you said that you have to keep the letter yourself, but this servant doesn't know." He looked at Wen Xi again, and hurriedly saluted Qian'er, "Please, imperial concubine. Wanan!"
Kangxi looked at the messy memorials on the table, those that had been reviewed, those that had not been reviewed, those that had been drafted, and those that had not been drafted were all mixed up, and a little angry under anxiety, he swept away all the memorials that were full of satisfactory books to the ground.
Liang Jiugong hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor calm down!"
Wen Xi pursed her lips, what is there to get angry about? I couldn't find it, and you messed it up yourself. I was still a little curious: "What the hell is it?"
Kangxi put one hand on the table and said, "It's a letter written by your mother."
Wen Xi froze, unable to calm down any longer, blurted out and asked urgently: "Where did you put it?!"
Liang Jiugong raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, did you put it in the drawer?"
Before Kangxi could open the drawer, Wen Xi took the first step, and opened the drawer of the imperial case closest to her. Sure enough, there was a slightly yellowish letter lying there, sealed with red wax, the book: Galo kisses me.Ga Luo kissed her???, it was Erniang Shu Shujue Luo's handwriting, Wen Xi could recognize it at a glance!Suddenly, his eyes became moist.It's been three and a half years since I saw Er Niang. This is her only regret after being out for so long.Although she knew that Linge was around and she was doing well, but when she was alone, she still couldn't help thinking about her. In her previous life and this life, she only had such a mother!Although there is a sense of guilt for stealing Jia Luo's mother's love, she still can't help stealing it, because she has never had a mother's love before, and once she got it, she couldn't bear to let it go!
With trembling hands, she tore open the new seal, inside was a thin rice paper as white as snow, with only a few words on it: Come back, Erniang misses you.
Just seven words, come back, Erniang misses you! ??? Mother, I miss you too!
Pat, a drop of transparent liquid fell on the rice paper, slowly smudged, like the texture of ink, slowly permeating.Wen Xi couldn't help covering her mouth to prevent herself from crying cowardly, but the two lines of pearls fell silently, blurring a short line of words.Wen Xi hurriedly wiped it with her sleeve, but the result became more and more blurred, and she couldn't see clearly, but the relationship with Er Niang became more and more clear, and the heartstrings became more and more trembling.
Kangxi handed over a dark blue brocade handkerchief embroidered with dragon patterns, and said: "Although Linge is filial, he is only a stepson. Although A Ling'a is motivated, she is not from her. You are the only daughter left of her." Ah is the youngest son of Ye Bilong. He broke his leg in his early years and invited a lama to have a short life. He said his name was not good, and he changed it later.Afterwards, as expected, even his legs gradually healed, and he had entered the Fengtai Camp for training, and rarely returned to Cheng'en Gong's Mansion on weekdays.
It doesn't matter whether it's Linge, Sabitun and Sabitu brothers, even if they have a family relationship with Wen Xi, their first consideration must be the family.Only Er Niang, Wen Xi believes that Er Niang will always consider her first!
Kangxi put his hands on Wen Xi's slightly trembling shoulders, and said softly: "Come back, I miss you too."
Wen Xi was silent for a while, and finally shook her head fiercely.
Xiao Quanzi from outside suddenly ran in scrambling, staggered and threw himself on the ground, shouting: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Rebels have sneaked into the palace again! There are hundreds of people coming towards this place." Come here!"
Wen Xi was startled, and under the keen detection of six senses, she really heard the sound of Jin Ge clashing and the screams of the enemy or the guards, getting closer and closer!
Liang Jiugong hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to retreat for a while! It's not safe here!"
Kangxi was furious and said: "What is Cao Yin doing? What about the defense of the palace?! Someone sneaked in?! Hundreds of people entered the palace, and they only found out now! Could it be that those people are all blind?!"
Liang Jiugong hastily reminded: "Your Majesty, you found traces of the crimes of the former Ming Dynasty outside the city yesterday. You sent the elder brother to take a part of the guards out of the palace to pursue him. The elder brother has not come back yet!" : "Your Majesty, let's move first!"
Kangxi snorted coldly and said: "I want to see how capable these remnants of the previous Ming are!"
Wen Xi frowned, was the power of the former Ming Dynasty really so powerful in the south of the Yangtze River, that they were able to kill Chenggong?The safety of Kangxi's royal driver, at least tens of thousands of guards, must be someone cooperating inside and outside?Otherwise, one hundred and eighty people will be thrown into tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and even a wave will not be able to break through!It's just that Jiangning Weaving Mansion is Cao Yin's territory, and it has been run for two generations. How can it be so easy to be co-operated by insiders and outsiders?Unless Cao Yin also betrayed, but I also know that it is impossible, not to mention that Cao Yin is also a diehard loyalist of Kangxi, and her family members are also in Zhizaofu, so don't they care about the lives of the whole family?
Wen Xi really couldn't figure it out, so she hurriedly followed Kangxi and went out to see what happened.
Kangxi lived in the core area of the Zhizao Mansion, and it was also the safest area. Even if the courtiers asked to see him, they had to go through layers of guards. Wen Xi was able to come in only with the invisibility talisman, but he also found a lot of guards who were in charge secretly. It's not easy for elite soldiers to approach, let alone a hundred people, they can't hide their behavior no matter what.
After coming out, I watched the escorting guards and the incoming attack from a closer distance. A strong smell of blood came to my nostrils, and I was only ten feet away from Wen Xi!All Wen Xi saw were people wearing guard clothes, as if their own people had fought with their own people, but some of the people who were killed had their hats knocked off, and what was exposed was the unshaven front crown hair.
Thanks to the guards who can recognize the enemy and us, the imperial guards have all removed their hats, and all of them have smooth moon heads, which can be seen very clearly even at night, while those who do not remove their hats or show strange hairstyles without their hats, It was the target of the guards' attack.Wen Xi immediately understood that it turned out that she was disguised as a guard and sneaked into the palace in the dark, and was discovered only when she got close to Kangxi's residence.

But Kangxi stood up suddenly, hurried to catch up, and grabbed Wen Xi's hand, which was soft and cool, and asked, "Do you feel cold?" So, without waiting for Wen Xi's answer, she He took off the cloak on his body and put it on Wen Xi's shoulders.
