Chapter 843: Startling Heart Mingyu 55
Kangxi's kiss became deeper and more passionate, as if he wanted to pour all his love into this kiss. His big hands gently stroked Mingyu's bulging belly, feeling the beating of the new life, his heart was filled with joy and expectation.
Kangxi restrained the lust in his eyes, and his gaze remained fixed on Mingyu's eyebrows, which were trembling slightly due to shyness. He took a deep breath, as if he was trying his best to suppress something, and finally, after a light sigh, he lay down beside her and held Mingyu in his arms.
"You girl..." His voice was slightly hoarse, but it was filled with endless doting.
"If I really listened to your words, the imperial physician would jump up and down and curse me. Although the fetus is stable, it is my flesh and blood after all. How can I not be cautious?"
Mingyu buried her head in his chest, letting her cheek touch his dragon robe, feeling the ironing warmth dispel the chill caused by the crampedness just now. She muttered softly: "You are the emperor, who dares to really scold you..."
There was a hint of soft complaint in her tone, but it was so cute.
Kangxi looked down at her like this, his heart softened, but he also felt helpless. He raised his hand, tapped her smooth forehead lightly, and said, "You are the only one who can give me such an idea. If you continue to act recklessly, I will have to punish you."
Mingyu raised her eyes and glanced at him, her lips slightly pouted, as if she was dissatisfied, but she couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Your Majesty, I am actually worried that you...will get bored." Her eyes were full of light, and her words were somewhat teasing: "After all, you are immersed in state affairs all day long, and you also need to relax and relieve your fatigue."
Kangxi was stunned at first, then burst into laughter. His laughter was low and hearty, making the palace even quieter in the night.
He stretched out his hand to hold the delicate woman in his arms tighter, bent down to sniff her hair, and said with a smile: "You outspoken little girl, if I really do what you say, won't you report me to the imperial physician in the future?"
Mingyu was immediately dissatisfied after hearing this, and raised her little face to refute: "I won't do that! I am devoted to protecting the emperor, why would I go and complain? Besides, if anyone really talks too much, I will be the first one to not let him go!"
Kangxi looked at her serious look of protecting him, and felt his heart filled with tenderness. He raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek, and said slowly: "Don't worry, with you protecting me, I am the luckiest man in the world."
Mingyu's heart trembled slightly when she heard his low and gentle voice, and her cheeks turned redder unconsciously. She spat, "Your Majesty is teasing me again..."
The moon was dim and the night breeze was cool. The two slept together, like a perfect match made in heaven.
……
The Ministry of Punishment was cold and damp. Ruoxi wrapped herself tightly in her thin prison uniform and curled up in a corner. In the past few days, except for the Eighth Master, almost all the princes she knew had come to visit her. Even the usually cold Fourth Master showed up for the first time.
Everyone was concerned and asked her, either openly or secretly, why she was punished.
Fourteenth Prince Yinzhen sneaked into the Ministry of Punishment and saw Ruoxi curled up in the corner. He felt so distressed. "Ruoxi, you have suffered!"
He lowered his voice, fearing that others would hear him. Fourteen took out a pack of snacks from his arms and carefully put it into Ruoxi's hand: "I brought this from the imperial kitchen. Eat it quickly, don't starve."
Ruoxi took the snack and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She had been wronged and tortured in the past few days. Now seeing Fourteen's concerned eyes, she finally couldn't help but tear up.
"Fourteenth Master..."
"Don't cry, Ruoxi."
Fourteen sat down beside her and comforted her softly, "Father Huang is just angry. He will be fine in a few days. Don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get you out."
Ruoxi nodded, but she knew in her heart that things might not be that simple.
She broke the dessert apart and ate it slowly, wondering how she was going to get out of this situation.
Seeing that she remained silent, Fourteen asked, "Ruoxi, what exactly were you punished for?"
Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her head. "Fourteenth Master, there are some things I cannot tell you right now. But I can assure you that I have not done anything to let your Majesty down."
Fourteen looked at her determined eyes and chose to believe her.
"Okay, I believe you. Take care of yourself, and I will find a solution as soon as possible." After saying that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Fourteenth Master!" Ruoxi suddenly called him.
"Fourteenth Master, how is Eighth Master...?"
These past few days, she was extremely upset. Apart from her own safety, what worried her even more was the situation of Mr. Ba.
Since she was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment, there has been no news from the Eighth Master, not even a letter or a verbal message. This has never happened before.
The Fourteenth Master was stunned for a moment, his expression flickering.
"Myna... is naturally fine. But the affairs of the mansion are very busy, maybe..."
He paused, as if looking for the right words: "Maybe I'm too busy to do that."
Ruoxi lowered her eyes to hide the uneasiness in them. The Fourteenth Master was evasive and obviously hiding something. The Eighth Master had always been very caring towards her. Now that she was in prison, how could he just ignore her?
Unless... he can't save himself.
Thinking of this, Ruoxi's heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She tightly grasped the snack in her hand, and her knuckles turned white.
Seeing this, the Fourteenth Master patted her shoulder gently and comforted her, "Don't let your imagination run wild. Eighth Brother was only temporarily confined by the Emperor's father. In addition, he and Eighth Sister-in-law have divorced, so it's normal for him to be a little depressed."
Ruoxi forced a smile and nodded.
The Fourteenth Master gave a few more instructions and then left the Ministry of Punishment in a hurry. Ruoxi looked at his departing back, feeling mixed emotions.
Life in the Ministry of Punishment was tough, and every minute and every second was like torture. Ruoxi forced herself to stay calm and analyze the current situation.
Mingyu's belly was getting bigger and bigger, and since she was carrying twins, she was often tormented and couldn't sleep or eat.
Kangxi felt very distressed and would gently massage her sore legs and feet every night and coax her to sleep with sweet words.
"Your Majesty, am I very ugly?" One day, Mingyu stroked her bulging belly, looking a little lonely.
Kangxi put down the memorial in his hand, walked to her side, and held her in his arms: "Silly girl, what are you talking about? My Mingyu is the most beautiful, and now she has a bit more maternal radiance, which makes her even more moving."
Mingyu nestled in his arms, feeling his warm embrace, and felt a little relieved.
"But I feel that my body is too heavy and it is not convenient for me to move. I am afraid that the emperor will dislike me..."
Kangxi kissed her forehead: "How could I dislike you? My Yu'er, even if you turn into a chubby little pig, you are still the cutest in my eyes." Kangxi gently scratched Mingyu's nose with a doting tone.
