Chapter 389 Step by Step Shocking Jade Tan 11
He imagined the surprised and touched expression on Yu Tan's face when she heard the news, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.
"Yutan, look what I have done for you..." Kangxi pushed open the door of the bedroom, but found that Yutan, who was supposed to be resting on the bed, was nowhere to be seen.
"Where are the people?" Kangxi's heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
"Your Majesty, the girl... has gone back to her room." The maidservant on the side answered timidly, fearing that she would anger the moody emperor.
Kangxi's face instantly turned gloomy. He pushed away the palace maid behind him and strode towards Yutan's room.
Kangxi came to Yutan's door angrily, but suddenly stopped.
He thought of Yutan's weak character. If he went in at this time, he would definitely scare her. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a slow tone: "Yutan, are you in there?"
Kangxi's voice became much softer, with a hint of flattery that he himself was not aware of.
There was silence inside the room, no response. Kangxi's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and his breathing became rapid.
"Yutan, if you feel uncomfortable, just tell me, okay?" Kangxi patiently spoke again, with a barely perceptible nervousness in his tone.
After a light sound of footsteps, the door was slowly opened. Yu Tan lowered her head, revealing her neck as white as jade.
She was wearing a plain white nightgown, which made her look even more pitiful. I felt even more sorry for her.
"Your Highness..." Yu Tan's voice was as thin as a mosquito, with an almost imperceptible tremor.
When Kangxi saw her like this, his anger immediately dissipated. He suppressed his temper and asked in a softer tone, "Why did you come out wearing such thin clothes? Did I scare you?"
"No, I... I just feel a little bored and want to go out for a walk." Yu Tan lowered her head, not daring to look into Kangxi's eyes.
"Bored? Are you worried about the ninth brother's affairs?" Kangxi keenly caught the strangeness in Yu Tan's words, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
Yu Tan's body trembled slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Kangxi was more certain of his guess. He grabbed Yutan's wrist and pulled her in front of him, with a hint of nervousness and jealousy in his tone that he himself did not notice: "Yutan, tell me, are you still thinking about that rebellious son, Lao Jiu?!"
Yutan was startled by Kangxi's sudden action. She tried to break free from Kangxi's grip, but he held her tighter.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing? I don't understand what you mean." Yu Tan forced herself to calm down. She knew that at this time, she must not anger Kangxi.
"Don't understand? I think you know it very well!" Kangxi was furious. He pulled Yutan into his arms and kissed her lips hard with a sense of punishment.
"Well..." Yu Tan was caught off guard and could only passively endure Kangxi's anger. His kiss was overbearing and passionate, as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
"For you, I am willing to make enemies with everyone in the world, but you are still thinking about other men. Do you have a heart or not?!" Kangxi let go of Yu Tan's lips and asked with gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, you misunderstood. I only feel gratitude towards Master Jiu... and have never had any improper thoughts." Yu Tan explained.
"Gratitude?"
She raised her downcast eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to make her voice sound firm and sincere.
"When my mother was sick, she had no money to treat her illness. It was Master Jiu who gave me money, so I could buy medicine for her."
Yu Tan took a deep breath and tried to control her trembling voice. She knew Kangxi's suspicious personality. She saw veins bulging on the back of Kangxi's hand holding her wrist, and she felt even more uneasy.
"Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you. I will always remember the kindness of Master Jiu, but that is just gratitude." Yu Tan bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, a trace of tears welled up in the corner of her eyes, and I felt pity for her.
Maybe I had some unrealistic thoughts before, but that was only in the past...
Kangxi looked at the delicate girl in front of him with tears in her eyes, and the anger in his heart seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water, leaving only a heart full of heartache.
He hugged Yu Tan into his arms, gently stroked her silky hair, and said in a gentle tone that almost dripped water: "I know, I know everything. I wronged you, I shouldn't have doubted you."
Yutan's tears were like pearls that had broken off a string, falling one by one on the back of Kangxi's hand, burning his heart and making it tremble.
He hated to see Yu Tan looking so weak and helpless, like a frightened deer, which made him want to hold her in his arms and cherish her.
"Okay, stop crying. It's my fault. I shouldn't have been so mean to you." Kangxi clumsily wiped Yu Tan's tears, his tone so gentle that it could drown someone.
He gently helped Yu Tan up, let her sit on his lap, and carefully tidied her messy clothes.
"Yutan, remember, you are my woman and will be for the rest of your life. I will not allow anyone to hurt you, including yourself." Kangxi declared his sovereignty domineeringly, with undisguised possessiveness in his eyes.
Yu Tan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her cheeks flushed with shame. Kangxi's words made her feel both scared and excited.
"Your Highness..." Yu Tan wanted to speak, but Kangxi gently pressed a finger against her lips.
"Shh, don't say anything. I just want to take a good look at you." Kangxi's eyes were scorching, as if to melt Yu Tan's whole body.
He slowly lowered his head and kissed Yu Tan's lips. This time, his kiss was no longer as overbearing as before, but was filled with infinite pity and tenderness, as if he was tasting a rare treasure.
Yu Tan only felt numb all over, as if an electric current was running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, making her want to sink into this gentle whirlpool.
Kangxi picked up Yutan and carried her sideways, and walked towards the West Warm Pavilion with big strides. Yutan screamed, and subconsciously hugged Kangxi's neck, her cheeks blushing so much that they were about to bleed.
"Your Highness, I can walk by myself..." Yu Tan's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, ringing in Kangxi's ears, bringing a tingling sensation.
Kangxi looked down at the shy person in his arms, with a doting smile on his face: "Do I need a reason to hug my woman?"
Yu Tan was suddenly speechless and could only bury her head in Kangxi's chest, letting him hold her.
Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs bowed their heads and saluted, not daring to make a sound. Everyone knew that Miss Yutan was now the treasure of His Majesty, so who would dare to offend her?
Yutan's heart was beating fast, and the scent of ambergris on Kangxi surrounded her, making her a little breathless. She didn't know what was waiting for her, a violent possession or a gentle and affectionate love?
