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

Since the other party specifically mentioned the Tongjia sisters.

It was clear that they wanted him to show his sincerity first.

The relationship between Emperor Kangxi and Lady Tongjia was naturally not as strong as that between the Emperor and the Empress.

But the thought of having to compromise and offer them up fills me with an indescribable sense of frustration.

Unfortunately, the two are now at odds in terms of power.

He had no choice but to comply.

After all, Wutian doesn't necessarily need him.

They could absolutely seek cooperation with Prince Bao.

For example, oust him from power and then offer him all his women.

Kangxi only needed to put himself in Prince Bao's shoes.

I knew Prince Bao would definitely agree.

Therefore, he could only force a smile and say:

"Tomorrow I will take Tongjia's sister into the palace. I would like to invite Your Excellency to come and have a drink with me then."

The phrase "have a drink" was Kangxi's last act of dignity.

Gu Hanyuan didn't care about this.

A fleeting glint of amusement crossed his eyes.

He said calmly:

"Then I congratulate Your Majesty in advance. I will certainly attend the banquet on time tomorrow. Farewell."

After saying that, he casually turned and left.

Even though Gu Hanyuan had already gone far away.

He could still hear the sounds of things being smashed coming from the direction of the Imperial Study.

It was clear that Kangxi was in a state of impotent rage.

Gu Hanyuan's expression was somewhat subtle.

Even the Kangxi Emperor, who ushered in a golden age, was an example.

When circumstances force you to act against your will, this is the only way you can vent your anger.

Although it was a matter of enduring and compromising.

But the moment he agreed to the request.

His fate was already sealed.

After all, sunk costs are not so easy to give up.

And Kangxi's test will come soon.

As long as they learn a lesson from their failed attempt to steal a chicken and end up losing more than they gain.

From now on, they will only become more and more dependent on Wutian's help.

Inside the Imperial Study at this time.

Emperor Kangxi was breathing heavily, his eyes bloodshot.

Broken vases, tables, chairs, lampstands, and memorials were all scattered on the floor.

He would occasionally grit his teeth and mutter, "This is outrageous!"

The Kangxi Emperor in this world was not a powerless emperor.

He also practiced some martial arts.

Although one's cultivation level is low, one shouldn't be this tired after just a little activity.

Clearly, the psychological blow had a greater impact.

It took Emperor Kangxi a long time to calm down.

He muttered to himself, his face gloomy:

"We must learn a way to counter the immortals on land from the Empress Dowager, otherwise we will suffer this humiliation forever!"

Emperor Kangxi originally did not want to seek help from Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

After all, that would make me look incompetent.

Moreover, it was inappropriate to seek help from Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang due to the internal strife within the imperial court.

However, the situation is different now.

If Ao Bai is successfully captured and killed.

Therefore, Wutian was the first person he needed to deal with.

Chapter 567: The Fake Empress Dowager and the Real Empress Dowager

It was already dark by then.

Gu Hanyuan glanced at the imperial guards who were secretly following him.

In a flash, he disappeared from the spot.

He did not leave the palace immediately.

It transformed into a wisp of smoke and drifted deep into the palace.

Gu Hanyuan arrived at the Imperial Kitchen.

He quickly found his target.

An old eunuch is holding the wrist of a boy dressed as a eunuch.

He said in a deep voice:

"Little Gui, what does the Empress Dowager want you to do?"

The two were Hai Dafu and Wei Xiaobao.

Hai Dafu has a cold and sinister demeanor. He is blind and coughs frequently.

However, the force with which he gripped Wei Xiaobao's wrist was immense.

This caused Wei Xiaobao to cry out in pain repeatedly:

"It's broken! It's broken! Eunuch Hai, let go first!"

Wei Xiaobao's appearance was actually not bad.

However, having spent many years mingling in the streets, he carried a roguish air about him.

This inevitably makes him look somewhat sleazy.

He cried out in pain.

But his eyes gleamed with a cunning and clever light.

Clearly, the cry of pain was just an exaggeration.

013 Hai Dafu really did let go.

After coughing a few times, he said:

"You can talk now."

Wei Xiaobao said helplessly:

"The Empress Dowager asked me to go to the Imperial Study to find her some classic texts, such as the Four Chapters. Then she rewarded me with some candied fruit."

"The Forty-Two Chapters Sutra?"

"Yes, that's the name."

Hai Dafu asked in a deep voice:

"You gave her the scriptures?"

Wei Xiaobao rolled his eyes helplessly and said:

"Am I supposed to disobey orders?"

Hai Dafu coughed violently a few more times.

He looked like he was about to die.

His voice did indeed weaken slightly.

"Did the Empress Dowager say when she would summon you again?"

Wei Xiaobao casually replied:

"No, they didn't say that. It's always Sister Ruichu who asks me to go."

Just then, a palace maid walked by.
