The favored imperial concubine

Chapter 247

Kangxi took Nian Xilan's little hand and held it tightly. After a moment of silence, he said: "I was enthroned at a young age, and I have made countless decisions. Although there are many wrong decisions, but, I However, I seldom have any regrets. However, now that I think of the fact that when you first entered the palace, I ordered you to serve me in the side hall of Chuxiu Palace despite the fact that you hadn’t recovered from the cold. I have really wronged you. ...It's true that I have some regrets... At that time, Lan'er also blamed me in her heart, right?"

Nian Xilan raised her head in panic, and was about to explain, but Kangxi gently pressed her lips with her fingers, "It's just that I never gave you a chance to choose, and almost forced you to become my woman. If you have resentment in your heart, it is also human nature. If I gave you another chance to choose, what kind of life would you want to live?"

Disturbed by Kangxi's melancholy sigh, Nian Xilan felt a little dumbfounded, secretly wondering, listening to what Kangxi said, could it be that she had already included herself in the harem, and now that she had given birth to two sons for him? After the daughter, you plan to give her a chance to choose instead?
Nian Xilan concentrated her attention, and only listened to Kangxi's slow words: "I was in the Yonghe Palace today, and I took the secret medicine of Concubine De by mistake. Although this medicine doesn't have much effect on me, it may affect you. A lot of damage."

Under Nian Xilan's shocked gaze, Kangxi explained to Nian Xilan the history of the traditional Chinese medicine in Yonghe Palace and the effects of this medicine.

Nian Xilan was terrified when she heard that, looked Kangxi up and down carefully several times, and suggested worriedly: "Does the emperor feel uncomfortable somewhere in his body? Could it be that the emperor just had a fever because he took this medicine by mistake? Your majesty Have you invited Imperial Physician Liu to come to check your pulse, if this medicine is not good for the emperor's health, what should I do?"

Seeing that at this moment, Nian Xilan still cares most about his body, Kangxi couldn't help feeling a burst of warmth in his heart. However, in order to truly get Nian Xilan's sincerity, Kangxi reluctantly suppressed the woman in his heart who wanted to hug her tightly. Eager to kiss and linger with her, he said in a deep voice: "If I were any other concubine, I wouldn't feel unbearable, but when facing you, I always don't want you to be wronged and hurt in the slightest. Now I I will give you a chance to choose. You can withdraw as soon as possible when I can let you go. From now on, you are still my noble concubine Xi, and I will not order you to serve me. Wait until I On the day of the great trip, I will make arrangements for you, so you can change your identity and go out of the palace to live the life you want."

Nian Xilan trembled at Kangxi's words, and looked at Kangxi in disbelief. At some point, crystal tears had already rolled down her cheeks.

Kangxi sighed softly, took out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom and carefully wiped away the tears on Nian Xilan's face, and persuaded softly: "Silly girl, I was just discussing something with you, why are you crying?"

Nian Xilan, through her tearful eyes, suddenly discovered that the brocade handkerchief Kangxi took out from her bosom was actually the royal blue brocade handkerchief she embroidered with her own hands when she first entered the palace.

Nian Xilan looked at the green mountains and green waters and the valley of Zhilan on the Jinpa, and couldn't help but hugged Kangxi's shoulders tightly, sobbing: "Your Majesty, why do you say these strange things to my concubine? You don't want to Are you a concubine?"

Kangxi lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "According to the rules of the Manchus, it is not an unforgivable sin for a woman to remarry. I make such a suggestion just to hope that you can live a happier life in this life. There is absolutely no humiliation or contempt for you. Meaning. And if you choose another path..."

Kangxi paused for a moment, caressing Nian Xilan's back, his deep voice contained some kind of frightening obsession, "If you choose another path, from now on, you can only belong to me. Even if I pass away before you ten or twenty years later, you must keep the chastity for me all your life. Although I may only give you 20 years of happy time, in these 20 years, I will only love you A woman will never get close to other women. I will use this unique favor to make up for... the regret that I can't accompany you to grow old together..."

Nian Xilan stared blankly at Kangxi, still unable to believe that Kangxi just gave her such a shocking promise.

"emperor……"

Nian Xilan came back to her senses and was about to answer, when she called out to the emperor, Kangxi gently pressed her lips with her fingers, and stopped her softly: "Lan'er doesn't need to answer my question right now. It's about your life's happiness, so you should think it over carefully before answering me. I'll give you three days, and after three days, if you choose to stay by my side, come to Qianqing Palace to see me again."

After Kangxi finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to pin the strand of hair hanging down Nian Xilan's cheek behind his ear, caressed Nian Xilan's fair and pretty face pitifully, and then sighed softly, ordering Li Dequan to send Nian Xilan back to Yi Go to Kun Palace.

Nian Xilan walked out of the dormitory in a daze. Because she was thinking about something, she suddenly staggered. Fang Wan hurriedly grabbed Nian Xilan's arm, and Nian Xilan was able to stabilize her body, almost twisting her ankle.

When Li Dequan returned to Qianqing Palace to report to Kangxi, Kangxi was frowning slightly, pacing back and forth in the bedroom.

Seeing Li Dequan coming back, Kangxi asked bluntly: "When Noble Concubine Xi just left Qianqing Palace, what was her face?"

Li Dequan replied respectfully: "My Majesty, the imperial concubine has been in a daze since she left the bedroom, and she almost sprained her ankle just now."

Kangxi frowned even more, and told Li Dequan: "I ordered Fangwan and Nanny Sun to take good care of Concubine Xi these few days without any mistakes. If Concubine Xi has any abnormal emotions, she must report to me immediately. .”

Li Dequan quickly bowed to promise, but he couldn't figure out Kangxi's intention in his heart.

Kangxi waved Li Dequan back, took out the royal blue brocade handkerchief embroidered for him by Nian Xilan, looked at the orchids swaying in the wind on the brocade handkerchief, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and murmured: "If you want to take it, you must first give it... ...Little girl, don't make me wait too long..."
