Chapter 837: Startling Heart Mingyu 49

The smile in Mingyu's eyes gradually faded, and her gaze became as sharp as a torch, as if she could see through Ruoxi.

She leaned forward slightly, her tone carrying a hint of danger: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Ruoxi's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, but she tried to stay calm and smiled calmly, "My Lady, why do you have to ask when you already know the answer? We are all... from the same place."

Mingyu didn't say anything, but just stared at Ruoxi quietly, her eyes were deep and cold, like a bottomless pool of water.

Ruoxi was a little frightened by this look, but she still continued to speak: "My Lady, please stop pretending. I know that you are also like me, you have traveled through time."

Mingyu really didn't understand what she was talking about.

"Travel through time? To the same place? Ruoxi, have you gone crazy?" Mingyu sneered and plucked the strings of the zither again with her slender fingers. With a clang, the sound of the zither stopped abruptly, just like her face that suddenly turned cold.

Ruoxi's heart sank when she saw Mingyu's reaction. She had thought Mingyu would be as eager to return to the modern world as she was, but she didn't expect Mingyu to not understand what she was saying at all.

Could it be that... Mingyu is playing dumb?

"Your Highness, you... don't remember what happened in the past?" Ruoxi asked tentatively.

Mingyu frowned impatiently, with a hint of warning in her eyes.

"Ruoxi, you've been behaving strangely today. If you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude!"

When Ruoxi retreated, there was a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth, but there was a fire in her heart, which kept burning her reason.

She gradually quickened her pace and left the Imperial Garden. The palace road beneath her feet was filled with fragmented sunlight, so bright that it almost hurt her eyes.

Mingyu was indeed playing dumb. She was certain that the woman with a noble demeanor and a look of disdain was just covering up.

But why did she hide it? She was supposed to be her companion from the beginning, so why was she now standing in a high position of opposition, looking down on her and warning her?

Walking back to her own room, Ruoxi suddenly opened the door, and a gust of wind blew away the dark atmosphere in the room. The teacup she had placed on the table before leaving was still wet, which was evidence of her loneliness, and seemed to clearly remind her of her humble status.

"Guo Luoluo Mingyu, you are so capable!" She gritted her teeth and whispered Mingyu's name, as if she wanted to vent all her resentment with these few words.

She closed her eyes, and Mingyu's smiling eyes kept revolving in her mind, as if every glance was mocking her stupidity and lowliness.

Ruoxi felt as if she had grasped Mingyu's vital point, and a sense of pleasure in control spread in her heart.

She seemed to see Mingyu's proud mask being torn apart by her, revealing her panicked true face. This feeling made her more excited than being favored by Kangxi.

After returning to her residence, Ruoxi carefully examined her appearance in the bronze mirror.

After traveling to this era, she has been living cautiously and treading on thin ice. She tried hard to learn the court etiquette and figure out people's hearts, but in the end, she was just a palace maid.

She was unwilling to accept this. Why could Mingyu become a royal concubine and enjoy wealth and splendor? Now, she had a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip that was enough to change her fate.

She began to plan how to use this "secret". Tell it directly to Kangxi?

No, without evidence, she would be doomed. She had to take her time, like a spider weaving a web, trapping Mingyu bit by bit, and eventually pulling her down from the altar.

In the next few days, Ruoxi deliberately hung around in front of Mingyu, pretending to casually mention "modern" words such as "computer", "mobile phone", and "high-speed rail", observing Mingyu's reaction.

Mingyu just smiled faintly every time, as if she didn't understand what she was saying. This made Ruoxi more convinced that Mingyu was playing dumb.

One day, Kangxi hosted a banquet for the princes and concubines. Ruoxi stood behind Mingyu and served her. When no one was paying attention, she whispered, "My Lady, how does the hot pot in your hometown taste? Is it better than the imperial meal in the palace?"

Mingyu has been really annoyed by Ruoxi these days, but this girl pretends to be so innocent that it is hard to find any fault with her.

She rubbed her aching forehead, and the fetus in her belly seemed to feel it and kicked her gently. Mingyu touched her abdomen and sighed in her heart: For the sake of the child, I have to bear it for a while.

Kangxi noticed Mingyu's discomfort and asked with concern, "My beloved concubine, are you feeling unwell?"

Mingyu forced herself to cheer up and said softly, "I'm fine, just a little tired."

Kangxi held her in his arms with a distressed look on his face: "I see that you don't look well, you should go back to the palace and rest early."

Seeing this, Ruoxi felt even more proud.

She was certain that Mingyu would not dare to expose her in front of Kangxi. After all, the identity of a time traveler was enough to ruin her reputation.

She deliberately took a step forward and said softly, "The Imperial Concubine is not feeling well. Your Majesty should send her back to the palace as soon as possible."

Mingyu took a deep breath. Ruoxi's relentless pressure made her unbearable.

She gently pushed Kangxi away, her face pale, her eyes slightly red, and she looked at Kangxi with a hint of grievance and stubbornness: "Your Majesty, I have a few words to tell you in private."

Kangxi was stunned, then looked at Ruoxi and motioned her to leave. Ruoxi was unwilling, but she could only bow and leave. Before leaving, she did not forget to glance at Mingyu provocatively.

After Ruoxi left, Mingyu could no longer hold back her tears and choked up as she told Kangxi everything about Ruoxi's strange behavior and words, including the unheard-of words she mentioned, such as "computer", "mobile phone", "high-speed rail", and the meaningful sentence "How does the hot pot taste in your hometown".

Kangxi was confused at first, but as Mingyu continued to narrate, his expression gradually became serious. He had never heard of such strange words before. Could it be that, as Mingyu said, this palace maid was... crazy?

"Your Majesty, I also find it unbelievable, but this palace maid's words and actions are really strange, I..." Mingyu said, and started crying again in grievance. Her tearful appearance made her look even more delicate and pitiful.

Kangxi gently embraced her in his arms and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, my beloved concubine. I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

Mingyu rubbed her temples irritably. "Your Majesty, I originally thought it would be better to leave her alone. But this Ruoxi is really too much! She has repeatedly tested me in a weird way. I...I am pregnant with your child!"

As she spoke, Mingyu's tears began to fall again, and each drop fell on the back of Kangxi's hand like drops of boiling oil.

Kangxi hugged Mingyu tightly with a distressed look, and his tone was so gentle that water could drip out: "Don't cry, my beloved concubine, I will definitely give you an explanation. This little palace maid dared to offend the concubine like this, I will not forgive her easily!"
