Sudden

  Mingyue and Amuru went to the Changchun Palace, Mingfei was a bit worried about Abao, that child had always been sticky with her, and hadn't seen her for such a long time, when she woke up she must be crying.

  Just then, Xiaoyu, the little palace maid, hurried over. Everyone was sitting in the pavilion resting when Xiaozhuang asked, "What's wrong?"

  Chang Yao bowed and said: "To report to Empress Dowager, Fourth Prince woke up and can't stop crying."

  Mingfei felt anxious in her heart: "What's wrong with looking at it?"

  Chang Yao said: "Nai Nai said that Fourth Brother was only crying and making a fuss because he couldn't see Master."

  Before Mingfei could speak, Xiaozhuang said: "Noble Consort, go and take a look. I'll chat with the other consorts for a while."

  Filial piety means Ming Fei's intention, Ming Fei got up and thanked her, then hurried back to the Changchun Palace.

  Ah Bao stopped crying as soon as she saw Ming Fei and instead snuggled into her arms, sobbing quietly. Her small hands grasped Ming Fei's clothes tightly, refusing to let go. The sight of her son was truly pitiful, so Ming Fei softened and played with Ah Bao for a while before dripping a few drops of spatial water into his mouth. She then called out to the wet nurse, "Has Second Miss come over?"

  "The second young lady entered the side hall, took a look from afar and left, without doing anything else."

  Ming Fei coldly said: "From now on, no matter who it is, I won't agree to let them in. Can you remember that?"

  Several wet nurses hurriedly knelt down and acknowledged it.

  Mingfei immediately returned to Changchun Palace and couldn't help but go see Amuru, after all, she was her own elder sister-in-law.

  She left the people around her to take care of Abao and only brought a few small palace girls into the Western Wing Hall.

  There was a faint scent of medicine in the Western-style building, and it seemed that Amuru had twisted her ankle. Mingyue was talking to Amuru about something, but when she saw Mingfei arrive, a flash of panic crossed her eyes.

  Mingfei furrowed her brow and let Mingyue get up, herself sitting down in front of Amuru's bed: "Sister-in-law, does it still hurt now?"

  Amu Ru lowered her head and said softly: "I've troubled Your Highness, the slave's ankle doesn't hurt much anymore."

  Mingfei glanced at Mingyue beside her and saw that her pale hand was tightly clenched into a fist, with even the veins on her hand bulging out.

  What's making her look so repressed?

  Mingfei didn't want to stay any longer, so she said to Amuru: "Today is my birthday banquet, I still have to go back and accompany them, sister will take good care of you first."

  Just as Mingfei was about to get up, Amuru suddenly lifted his head, opened his mouth but didn't say a word. Mingfei's bad premonition grew heavier and she turned around to leave.

  Mingyue's heart suddenly tightened, and she abruptly hugged Mingfei's leg and knelt down to the ground, looking up at Mingfei.

  Mingfei felt a sense of foreboding in her heart, and just as she was about to leave, Mingyue suddenly shouted out loud: "There will be a great earthquake in the capital city in July! I beg Your Highness to inform the Emperor!"

  Mingfei's anger flared up like a tongue of fire, and she slapped Mingyue twice, shouting: "Are you tired of living? I'm not, how dare you spread such words outside?"

  "She said sternly: 'If anyone dares to say a word about today's events, I will cut out her tongue!'"

  This sudden change left everyone below stunned.

  The bright moon wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, stood up and said stubbornly: "If there is a single false word in what this slave has said, may heaven strike me down with thunder and lightning!"

  Mingfei hadn't even had time to sneer inwardly when Mingyue suddenly turned around and crashed into the pillar. No one stopped her, so she really did crash into it. Although she didn't bleed, she really did get a big bruise. She herself sat down on the ground with a thud.

  Looking at this bright moon, how could Ming Fei not understand that what Ming Yue has been seeking for her whole life is power and status!

  Although it was just a flash, countless thoughts flashed through Mingfei's mind, and she had already calmed down. She looked at Mingyue sitting on the ground with disdain and said: "Are you really determined? Don't you think about what the consequences will be?"

  The bright moon is still pretending to be crazy: "I'm telling the truth! I've been through nine deaths and one life, and that's how I got this skill!"

  In the past, in July, there will indeed be an earthquake in the capital. If Amuru wasn't here, even if Mingyue told her that there would be an earthquake in July, everyone here is under her control, and she can seal off the news completely.

  However, there is an Amuru here, and Amuru is Mingfei's elder sister-in-law and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tong family. Her status determines the weight of her words. In July, there was an earthquake in the capital city. Mingmingyue had already told the Imperial Concubine about it and even proved the truth of her words with her death. But the Imperial Concubine still remained silent and didn't tell the Emperor. What is the Imperial Concubine's intention?

  Amuru, how did you become so foolish? Opposing Minfei is no different from opposing the Tong family, and opposing Qingfu. Have you ever thought that you are already a member of the Tong family?

  Mingfei faintly swung her sleeves, Mingyue was walking a road of no return. She had never thought about what it meant to be able to predict the future. Indeed, the Emperor would take her into the harem, because without becoming the Emperor's woman, he could more properly and openly keep her confined.

  Ming Fei smiled faintly and looked at Ming Yue sitting on the ground: "I originally wanted to save you from hell, but you insisted on going your own way."

  She looked at Amuru, who was sitting on the couch with a sarcastic smile, and laughed. Amuru had boarded Mingyue's pirate ship, and from now on, she could only rely on Mingyue.

  She stood up and instructed the chess player: "Everyone inside has seen it clearly. Not one can go out. I'll be right back."

  Things have come to this, she can only invite Kangxi over. Whatever Mingyue has to say, she'll just tell Kangxi directly; she can't get involved herself.

  Kangxi was in the Yangxin Hall when he heard that Mingfei had come personally, and he felt a bit surprised. However, he still invited Mingfei to enter. As she looked at Mingfei's face, she saw that there was not even a hint of the joy from earlier that morning, but instead a pale complexion, and her expression seemed somewhat unstable.

  He pulled Mingfei's hand, which was also a bit cold, and rubbed it for her, saying: "What's wrong with you?"

  Mingfei pursed her lips and said: "Although this matter is somewhat absurd, I still implore Your Majesty to take a look."

  Kangxi frowned and said: "What's wrong?"

  "My second sister died to prove it, in July, Beijing had an earthquake."

  Kangxi's eyebrows rose high, and his body exuded an air of imperial majesty: "Is she gone?"

  "Still in the slave's bedroom."

  Kangxi stood up and said: "Since that's the case, I'll accompany you to take a look."

  The people in the side hall still maintained their appearance when Mingfei left, and all the servants were standing inside. Mingyue probably anticipated that Kangxi would come, and had tidied up her disguise, although her forehead was still bruised, but somehow it looked pitiful, Ahmu Ru also didn't know if he thought of something, trembling as he knelt on the ground.

  Kangxi looked at Mingyue kneeling on the ground and frowned: "Lift your head up!"

  The bright moon was taken aback for a moment, and slowly raised its head.

  Mingyue would be a fairly intelligent woman if she were placed in modern times, but when placed in front of the husband who is considered the most capable man under heaven, she is essentially nothing. Through Mingyue's eyes, Kangxi can almost effortlessly see through her thoughts.

  He sneered and sat down at the head of the table: "Everyone get up, the imperial concubine will also sit down."

  Mingfei thanked her and sat down, but Amuru's ankle twisted, and Kangxi wouldn't let her sit, so she could only stand. Her head was sweating profusely with pain, but she humbly lowered her head. Mingfei thought mockingly, "If I had known today, why bother in the first place? What use is being afraid now?"

  Kangxi's icy gaze was like a cold knife stuck to the bone, and just looking at Mingyue made her feel that death was so close, she was frightened with cold sweat dripping down her back, for the first time knowing what it meant to be an emperor.

  Kangxi said in a deep voice: "Tell me, how did you know that there would be a great earthquake in Beijing in July?"

  The moon was already gone, and the previous fluency and confidence were no longer there. She stuttered: "I... I had a serious illness some time ago... Miss Luo said that at that time, I didn't even have a breath left... But I... somehow managed to survive... Although I've forgotten many things from before... but I've gained an ability... to foresee future events..."

  Kangxi looked at Mingfei and Mingfei replied, "Sister indeed had a serious illness some time ago, saying that she woke up and forgot many things from before."

  Kangxi leaned forward with his hands on his knees, his eyes gleaming sharply as he stared at Mingyue: "Then how did you predict future events?"

  Mingyue had underestimated the Emperor's thoughts, this man with the most power in the world was not someone who could be faced directly by anyone. She timidly hid behind, wanting to avoid Kangxi's intimidating gaze, but found it to be futile. She lowered her eyelids and said timidly: "This kind of thing is hard to say, suddenly a thought pops up in my mind, deeply rooted, I feel it's true, just like the last time Wu Sangui declared himself emperor, I knew about it early on too. Sometimes it's also small things around me, after many times, I know these aren't false."

  She looked at Kangxi through her eyelashes, but saw that Kangxi was still staring straight at her. Those deep eyes frightened her so much that she shuddered and hurriedly lowered her eyelids again.

  Kangxi no longer looked at Mingyue, but swept his gaze over the people in the hall. Mingfei suddenly felt a chill in her heart and called out in a somewhat pleading tone: "Your Majesty..."

  Kangxi turned his eyes to her, the murderous intent in his eyes instantly disappeared. Seeing Mingfei's eyes filled with thick pleading, he finally softened and sighed: "The Empress Dowager misses her sister, I allow the Empress Dowager's younger sister to accompany her in the palace."

  Kangxi may not believe Mingyue, but with his cautiousness, he won't let Mingyue return easily. If this earthquake is real, then Mingyue might not even need to go home anymore.

  Mingfei stood up and responded, then looked at Mingyue and said: "Sister still doesn't thank the Emperor, the Emperor is letting sister stay in the palace, isn't sister happy?"

  Kangxi heard Mingfei's sarcastic tone for the first time and found it somewhat amusing, his face not as dark as before.

  Xie En, who was a bit stiff under the bright moonlight, just hummed a faint response.

  Mingfei looked at the others in the hall, thinking of herself, and suddenly wanted to bite off a piece of Mingyue's flesh. What a damn unlucky star was she? Why didn't she think of stuffing her mouth shut back then! How could Kangxi let anyone in this place go, if this news really got out, the entire imperial court would be shaken. A king who knows what you're going to do every step of the way, you're probably not just afraid or terrified, but desperate, panicked, or making a last-ditch effort? But none of those were what the Emperor wanted.

  And what about Amuru? She will probably fall into a coma, unconscious until death, and as for herself?

  She stared blankly at Kangxi, Kangxi raised an eyebrow, had he scared himself again?

  He let out a sigh and beckoned Li Dequan over to give him some instructions before pulling Mingfei out of the Western Wing Hall.

  From the cold and gloomy side hall to the sunny courtyard, Mingfei's thoughts were still as heavy as ever. Kangxi rubbed her hands and looked at her sighing: "You've always been like this since you were a child, your courage is neither big nor small, it's just that you're used to scaring yourself, this matter isn't that serious, even if it's true, there's nothing wrong with letting out some rumors."

  He stroked her hair and sighed: "You are my woman, also my cousin, I..."

  Mingfei stared blankly at Kangxi.

  Kangxi looked at her moist, honey-colored lips, slightly parted, and involuntarily rubbed them with his thumb a few times. As he gazed at her pale face slowly turning red, like a ripe cherry, a smile finally appeared in his eyes.

  He pulled her along as he walked, explaining to her: "The people inside really did move things around, and so, Amuru, I won't take her life, but it can't just pass like this either. She'll probably be a bit crazy from now on." The palace maids and eunuchs followed far behind them.

  Mingfei's footsteps paused, Kangxi knew she had softened again. He sometimes regretted keeping this cousin, whom he had spoiled like a younger sister, in the palace. Her heart was too soft and kind, really not suitable for such a place. But he needed her help, needed the Tong family's full support on the court.

  She was lively and mischievous when she was young, but when did she become like this? Every day is dull, as if she has no interest in anything, only... He noticed that his thoughts were a bit biased, so he hooked the corner of his mouth.

  She turned around and looked at Minnie behind her, the little girl with a runny nose when she was young had grown up to be an adult, becoming a mother of children. She stood in front of him, just like a blooming lotus flower, quietly emitting a faint fragrance. He used to say that he had changed, but when he looked back, he found that she had also changed?

  The author has something to say: That's all for now, I'll put this chapter here first and see how you all react before making any changes. If everyone is still relatively satisfied with it, then that's how it'll stay~~
