Chapter 266
Kangxi's eyes widened, his face filled with anger as he said, "Divorce? Don't even think about it! I'm telling you, don't even think about divorcing me in this lifetime! Even if you go to the underworld, the only way out is to be a widow. Unless I die, there's absolutely no way I'll let you leave me!"
Qingyao's beautiful eyes flashed with determination. She bit her lower lip tightly and said in a cold voice, "Then go! Before leaving the palace, I clearly made three rules with you, but now you are the first to break them. I also told you clearly that if you ever break any of these rules, I will immediately return to the capital. From then on, there will be no connection between you and me, and I will never see you again!"
After she finished speaking, her body trembled slightly, and it was clear that her heart was not as calm as she appeared. However, she still suppressed the pain and reluctance in her heart, straightened her back, and looked directly into the other person's eyes without flinching, as if to use this method to strengthen her determination.
Seeing Qingyao's resoluteness, Kangxi's anger gradually melted into helplessness and pity. He sighed and said, "It's my fault, but I also care about you too much. I didn't mean to violate those three agreements. It's just that I really didn't know she would put drugs in the soup. I couldn't help myself." Qingyao sneered, "Your Majesty, your words are golden. How can you say they don't count just because you had no choice?" Kangxi stepped forward and took Qingyao's hand. "I know I was wrong. Give me a chance to make amends." Qingyao tried to shake his hand off, but failed.
Tears welled up in Qingyao's eyes: "Your Majesty, please don't bother me anymore. Your Majesty is a king. Since you have broken your promise, I will never turn back easily." Kangxi held her hand tighter: "I swear in the name of the Son of Heaven that I will never make the same mistake again. If I make another mistake, you can deal with it as you wish." Qingyao's expression relaxed a little, but when she thought of the grievances she had suffered before, she shook her head.
At this time, Liang Jiugong came running over: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager knows that you and the Empress Dowager have returned to Beijing and want to see you." Kangxi frowned and looked at Qingyao: "I will go to see the Empress Dowager first, you wait for me here, I will definitely give you an explanation." After that, he left quickly.
Qingyao stood there, feeling a mixture of emotions. She actually still had feelings for Kangxi, but she just couldn't get over it.
Ningshou Palace
Kangxi entered the magnificent gate of Ningshou Palace with the gait of a dragon and a tiger. His posture was as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were vigorous and powerful. When he approached the main hall of the palace, Kangxi bowed slightly, clasped his hands together, and respectfully bowed to the person in the lead. He said in a loud voice: "Your son greets the Empress Dowager!"
The Grand Empress Dowager, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sat at the head of the table with a kind and concerned smile on her face. She said softly to Kangxi, "Get up quickly! I heard that the Emperor had said that he would stay abroad for a while longer. Why is he returning to the capital so early now?" As she spoke, she gently raised her hand, indicating that the other party should stand up and dispense with the formalities.
Kangxi said respectfully to the Grand Empress Dowager, "Mother Empress, I have hurried back to the palace this time because I have good news to report to you. That is, Qingqing is pregnant now. I am worried that she has no one to take care of her outside. What should I do if something goes wrong? So I quickly brought her back to the palace. After all, there are experienced doctors in this palace who can diagnose and regulate her body at any time. This way, I will feel more at ease." After speaking, Kangxi slowly walked to the side and sat down.
The Empress Dowager's smile deepened upon hearing this. "This is great joy! I can't help but feel a surge of joy upon hearing this news. I'm going to have another grandson! How is Qingqing doing now? Are you feeling any discomfort? How could you be so careless as not to bring her here for me to see! Now that Qingqing is pregnant, you must take extra care of her. Don't let her overwork herself, and make sure her diet and daily routine are carefully arranged. What if something unexpected happens? Tell me quickly, how is Qingqing doing?"
Kangxi: "Madam, I will bring Qingqing to pay my respects to you in a few days. I just returned to the capital and was a little tired, so I didn't bring her with me."
