He even brought Consort Tong to the palace early in the morning for this purpose.
Gu Hanyuan saw through Kangxi's thoughts.
In order to ensure the smooth progress of subsequent plans, it was decided to put more pressure on Kangxi.
He said in a subtle tone:
"Is Your Majesty planning to drug Tongjia's sister?"
Emperor Kangxi was taken aback upon hearing this, but readily admitted it.
After all, it's too shameful to give your woman to another man.
For this reason, she even refused to see Consort Tong.
Anyway, after being drugged, Consort Tong let Wutian do as he pleased.
He could also pretend he didn't know.
Unfortunately, Gu Hanyuan exposed Kangxi's self-deception.
He said with amusement:
"I asked Your Majesty for concubines in order to practice my martial arts, but the effect of using drugs would be poor. I have no choice but to shamelessly ask Your Majesty to persuade them personally."
This is naturally Gu Hanyuan's nonsense.
However, upon hearing this, Kangxi felt a rush of blood to his head.
A strong sense of humiliation filled my heart.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice:
"This is outrageous..."
"What did Your Majesty say? Your voice was too soft, I couldn't hear you."
Gu Hanyuan's cold voice rang out.
Emperor Kangxi, whose mind was clouded by rage, immediately regained his senses.
Looking at the cold, dark eyes revealed behind that Asura mask, I couldn't help but shudder.
Having grasped the situation, Kangxi said dejectedly:
"I...I understand. I will personally persuade her."
Kangxi eventually gave in.
However, Gu Hanyuan still did not let him go.
He said meaningfully:
"Your Majesty would be better off sending her to the Tongjia clan's palace. This would allow the sisters to reunite and also avoid any trouble."
Upon hearing this, Kangxi's eyes twitched, and his face turned extremely ugly.
But the situation is stronger than people.
At this point, he also had a bit of a "what's the use" attitude.
He gritted his teeth and said inwardly:
"Your Excellency is right."
Gu Hanyuan smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.
In reality, the two sisters who were about to become Kangxi's concubines were not something to be too proud of.
What truly concerned him was Kangxi's attitude.
There are only two kinds of concessions: zero times or countless times.
Especially after Kangxi witnessed his unparalleled skills, he would only become more and more accommodating.
It is extremely unreasonable for an emperor to suffer such humiliation.
However, this was precisely due to the situation in the Qing Dynasty at that time.
Externally, the Mongol Yuan dynasty was eyeing the throne covetously; internally, Prince Bao coveted the throne; and Wu Sangui was too powerful to be controlled.
The strongest ally of the entire Kangxi regime was none other than Ao Bai, whom they had to eliminate.
Without capturing and killing Ao Bai, he will never be able to seize power.
The current Kangxi Emperor not only lacks military power, but his political power is also constrained by the regents.
Besides Wei Dongting, the only other expert under his command was Yuan Chengzhi.
It was precisely this uniqueness that allowed Emperor Kangxi to be manipulated at will by Gu Hanyuan.
At this point, even Emperor Kangxi could not help but feel disheartened.
He felt that being an emperor was utterly uninteresting.
He even had a slight idea of giving up his position to Prince Bao.
However, he quickly dismissed this idea.
He still has so many ambitions that he hasn't fulfilled.
Compared to the incompetent or foolish emperors of other countries, Kangxi was one of the few who made unifying the country his goal.
Such lofty ideals forced him to compromise, all for the sake of obtaining Wutian's power.
Even if it comes at a great cost.
Kangxi then took Gu Hanyuan to Tongjia's palace.
The entire journey was speechless.
The two arrived at their destination.
The faint sounds of women talking could still be heard coming from inside the door.
It was Lady Tongjia and the young Consort Tong who had been summoned.
A clear, melodious female voice, like a nightingale's song, asked in confusion:
"Sister, why did His Majesty send me here?"
The voice belonged to Xiao Tongfei.
A dignified and elegant female voice said with difficulty:
"I don't know what Your Majesty is thinking, after all, it's against etiquette."
Tongjia also expressed extreme confusion.
She was actually quite favored by Emperor Kangxi.
However, in recent years, Emperor Kangxi has taken concubines very frequently.
So much so that even though he was favored, he would only see her a few times a month.
Her father, Tong Guowei, deliberately sent her younger sister into the palace in order to unite them in vying for the emperor's favor.
Tongjia clan members harbored ambitions for the position of empress.
Now that she is a Noble Consort, the next step would be to become an Imperial Noble Consort.
Above the Imperial Noble Consort is the Empress.
However, she has not yet conceived a child, which inevitably makes her feel less confident.
They had originally planned that after Consort Tong entered the palace, the sisters would work together to try and keep Kangxi's attention on them.
Consort Tong did not enter the palace through the imperial selection process, and was immediately bestowed the title of Consort Tong upon entering the palace.
According to proper rules.
With the assistance of palace maids, Consort Tong would wash and dress up, and then be wrapped in a quilt and carried to the emperor's bedroom by eunuchs from the Imperial Household Department.
But how could one send Consort Tong to one's own palace before she has even had a chance to serve the emperor?
Suddenly, Tongjia had a flash of inspiration.
Somewhat astonished, he thought:
"Could it be that His Majesty intends for us to serve him in bed together?"
She wasn't just making random guesses.
After Consort Tong was sent, the eunuchs ordered that all the palace maids who served her be taken away.
After all, don't be fooled by the emperor's seemingly perfect life with his many concubines and harems.
In reality, there are many rules.
Let alone sisters being of one mind, even if they served the emperor for too long, they would be reminded by the eunuchs.
This was not only because it was necessary to ensure the emperor's health, but also because it was necessary to follow etiquette.
If you act recklessly, your reputation will be damaged once you are exposed.
