In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

For the vast majority of years, they have remained silent.

Today, however, the fact that Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang approached Dorgon sparked a discussion about sex.

Huang Taiji said helplessly:

“We’re all getting on in years now, and we even have to rely on the dragon vein to prolong our lives. How can you still not see through this?”

Dorgon said with a somber expression:

"If it weren't for Da Yu'er, do you think I would have chosen to live here in such a self-imposed confinement?"

Huang Taiji sighed:

"Back then, when I was attacked by a Mongol master and was on the verge of death, I moved the 'Qing Ancestral Temple' from Luding Mountain to the palace. This unexpectedly altered the course of the dragon vein and forcibly elevated me to the realm of a terrestrial immortal, allowing me to prolong my life here. However, I can never leave this place again. Otherwise, my terrestrial immortal realm will regress, and I will die in an instant."

Huang Taiji announced to the public that he had died of illness.

It turned out that they had been attacked by Mongol experts.

Dorgon said angrily:

"It's better to live without freedom than to live like this."

Huang Taiji said quietly:

"Back then, I specifically summoned you to warn you of the possibility of attacks by Mongol experts. But you ignored me completely, only caring about your love affair with Da Yu'er. In the end, you followed in my footsteps."

Dorgon's publicly stated cause of death was even more outrageous.

He fell from his horse and died while hunting.

Dorgon, who spent his life on the battlefield and achieved numerous military exploits, died in a fall from his horse—how ironic!

Especially since this is a martial arts world.

Royal families around the world have collected many martial arts manuals, so even if one cannot become a master, one will not be powerless.

And it also has various elixirs.

Life expectancy for members of the royal family has generally increased.

It turns out that Dorgon was also attacked by Mongol experts, which forced him to fake his death to prolong his life.

Dorgon felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this.

Enraged, he said:

"You make it sound so nice, but you clearly just want me to become the backbone of the nation. Back then, I imprisoned Hauge, and you brought him here too, but he couldn't withstand it and died from his body exploding."

Huang Taiji sighed:

"The Mongols are eyeing us covetously, and our Qing Dynasty has no powerful deity to protect us. Even if we were at the height of our power, we couldn't escape being assassinated. If you and I hadn't been seriously injured by the Mongols back then, how could Zhu Tiedan have launched a counterattack?"

Dorgon said mockingly:

"So over the years you've brought in quite a few members of the royal family, attempting to make them into immortals on land as well. But in the end, they all died from their bodies exploding. Perhaps you played a part in frightening Fulin into suddenly becoming a monk?"

The Fulin mentioned by Dorgon was none other than the Shunzhi Emperor.

As far as Gu Hanyuan knew.

His decision to become a monk was due to being troubled by love.

I never expected there was such a hidden layer.

Huang Taiji said with a grim expression:

"I never imagined that after all these years, only you and I would have survived. It's a pity about Fulin."

Dorgon said mockingly:

"It's a pity about Fulin, but what about Xuan Ye? Are you just going to watch him be bullied by Ao Bai, the general you trusted back then?"

Huang Taiji said calmly:

"Even if Ao Bai has a thousand faults, he would never usurp the throne. You are being too harsh on him."

He warned:

“I know that Da Yu’er will definitely come to beg you to kill Ao Bai, but I will not let you go.”

Upon hearing this, Dorgon said angrily:

"Back then, you used my attachment to Dayuer to force me to stay. Now that I want to help her, are you going to interfere too?"

Huang Taiji said indifferently:

"This is all for the sake of the overall situation of the Qing Dynasty."

Dorgon mocked:

"It's clear that you favor Hongli more, which is why you're ignoring Xuan Ye."

The Hongli he mentioned was none other than Prince Bao.

Huang Taiji said dismissively:

“It’s not that I have more faith in Hongli, but even if Xuan Ye fails to support the Qing Dynasty, there is still Hongli as insurance.”

There was a pause.

He said in a deep voice:

"As long as you are willing to follow my orders, I can agree to let you be buried with Da Yu'er after you and Da Yu'er die."

Dorgon fell silent upon hearing this.

He's quite old now.

Talking about love and romance is inevitably a bit ridiculous.

But he was still not satisfied.

Therefore, his greatest wish was to be buried with Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang in the future.

Huang Taiji saw that Dorgon remained silent.

I knew he had been convinced by himself.

He smiled contentedly and said nothing more.

Gu Hanyuan saw that the two had fallen silent again, and he could not hear any more information.

In a flash, he left the "Qing Ancestral Temple".

Gu Hanyuan moved ethereally through the palace.

He received too much unexpected intelligence tonight, and he needs to readjust his plans.

Gu Hanyuan's expression suddenly changed.

They turned toward a palace.

A resentful voice made his expression turn strange.

"Yuan Chengzhi! I absolutely will not agree to my brother, the Emperor, marrying me off to you!"

Chapter 558: Jianning: Good brother, can you hit me one more time?

Gu Hanyuan silently sneaked into the palace.

He looked at the two people in front of him with amusement.

One of them was his old acquaintance, Yuan Chengzhi.

The other was a girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old.

The girl was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, her attire luxurious.

She was beautiful, with bright and lively eyes, and a touch of heroism.

However, her fierce expression somewhat marred the beauty of the scene.

Yuan Chengzhi said helplessly:

“Princess Jianning, His Majesty is unlikely to retract his order easily. Tonight, His Majesty also instructed me to come and get to know you better.”

The woman was Princess Jianning.

The pairing of her and Yuan Chengzhi surprised Gu Hanyuan somewhat.

However, the reason can be guessed.

Gu Hanyuan spread rumors that Yuan Chengzhi wielded the divine weapon Golden Snake Sword, which attracted Emperor Kangxi to send people to take him away.

The purpose was naturally to deal with Ao Bai.

The reason for marrying Jianning to Yuan Chengzhi was naturally to win him over.

What surprised Gu Hanyuan was...

Yuan Chengzhi was surprisingly subdued by Emperor Kangxi so quickly.

In fact, this is exactly the case.

Yuan Chengzhi had previously been taken back to Yanjing by Emperor Kangxi.
