The two women were lost in thought.

The sound of the door being pushed open could be heard.

Then Kangxi, whose face was dark, walked in.

Lady Tongjia and Consort Xiao Tong hurriedly bowed.

Compared to the naive young Consort Tong, Lady Tongjia was extremely uneasy.

It wasn't because of my previous overthinking.

It was because she could tell at a glance that Kangxi was in a very bad mood.

It's understandable that Emperor Kangxi was in a bad mood.

After all, what man would willingly offer his woman up to him?

They even had to persuade him personally.

This is undoubtedly a great humiliation for a man.

Especially since this man is the emperor, the supreme ruler of a country.

Looking at the Tongjia clan, whom he had once favored, Emperor Kangxi felt increasingly complicated.

Although Tongjia had been in the palace for several years, she was only in her early twenties.

This is the most beautiful age for a woman.

She was beautiful, dignified and elegant, and her exquisite and luxurious clothes accentuated her graceful figure.

Xiao Tongfei is even younger.

A young girl in her late teens is youthful and romantic, pretty and delicate, with fair skin and a pair of bright and gentle eyes.

In terms of appearance alone, she surpasses Tongjia.

Kangxi felt increasingly heartbroken.

If it weren't for Wutian, he would definitely have fallen in love with Xiao Tongfei.

However, now they have no choice but to reluctantly part with it.

He recalled the scene before he entered the door.

He humbly begged Wutian to let him in only after he had persuaded the two women.

After all, persuading the two women in front of Wutian was not only more difficult, but also more humiliating.

But what surprised him was.

Wutian did not make things difficult for him in this matter.

He readily agreed to his request.

This even stirred a sense of gratitude in the heart of Kangxi, who had suffered countless humiliations.

Although the degree of affection in Kangxi's heart was not great.

But for Gu Hanyuan, it was a good omen.

He grasped the right balance in pressuring Kangxi.

Some minor concessions can reduce Kangxi's resistance.

Just like now.

Even though Kangxi was heartbroken, he tried his best to persuade the two women.

It didn't take long.

Emperor Kangxi walked out with a gloomy expression.

I could faintly hear sobbing behind me.

Kangxi looked at Wutian, who seemed completely unconcerned about whether the two women would be persuaded.

He took a deep breath and said:

"Lord Wutian, you may enter."

With each word he uttered, his heart ached a little more.

But it's too late to regret it now.

Gu Hanyuan feigned surprise and said:

"Your Majesty persuaded them so quickly? It seems they love Your Majesty very much."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi's breath caught in his throat.

His face grew increasingly gloomy.

It took me a while to recover.

He said, feigning nonchalance:

"I still have official business to attend to. Your Excellency Wutian, please make yourself at home."

After saying that, he left as if he knew what would happen to the two women next.

However, his clenched fists betrayed his feelings.

Gu Hanyuan watched Kangxi's departing figure with amusement.

This ability to endure what ordinary people cannot is truly remarkable.

He also knew that Kangxi would definitely plot against him in the future.

But so what?

If Kangxi fell behind even once, he would fall behind every step of the way.

One wrong step leads to another.

The outcome was already predetermined from the moment Kangxi first yielded and compromised.

Gu Hanyuan ignored Kangxi.

He calmly pushed open the door and entered.

There, the two women, Lady Tongjia and Consort Xiaotong, were seen embracing and weeping.

The two women looked at Gu Hanyuan, whose aura was sinister and terrifying, with some fear.

Consort Tong hid fearfully behind Lady Tongjia.

Tongjia's eyes, however, were filled with hatred.

It wasn't just hatred towards Gu Hanyuan.

It was also a deep hatred for the ruthless Emperor Kangxi.

She recalled the scene.

She had a bad feeling when she heard Kangxi's request.

"My two beloved consorts, I have a request to make."

Tongjia said with trepidation:

“Your Majesty is too kind. If there is anything Your Majesty needs us sisters to do, please do not hesitate to give the order.”

Kangxi said solemnly:

"There is a man outside the door named Wutian. He is my ally and extremely important to me. He is even related to my throne and my life."

Tongjia asked in astonishment:

"Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Who would dare to endanger His Majesty's life?"

Kangxi said in a deep voice:

"My beloved consorts, you may not know this, but although I appear to be sitting on the throne and ruling the country, my situation is actually precarious, which is why I have no choice but to seek help from Wutian. Therefore, I need the assistance of both of you."

Upon hearing this, Lady Tongjia immediately had a bad feeling.

He said nervously:

"I am of limited knowledge and skills and I am afraid that I will not be able to help Your Majesty."

She did indeed have ambitions to become empress.

If one can help Emperor Kangxi, their status will surely rise, and they will be more valued.

But Lady Tongjia wasn't stupid.

The Emperor Kangxi spoke of it so seriously; what he needed their help with must be no small matter.

Her womanly intuition made her instinctively feel that she couldn't agree to it.

However, Kangxi had already made up his mind.

Now that a decision has been made, there will be no more hesitation.

He comforted her gently:

"Rest assured, my beloved, this matter is somewhat difficult, but it is also easy to do."
