However, due to Wutian's sudden appearance, there was no time to think about it.

The more Kangxi thought about it, the more ingenious the idea seemed.

Looking at the still calm Wutian, I couldn't help but exclaim in amazement:

"Although I knew that Your Excellency was a peerless martial artist, I did not know that you were also so outstanding in strategy. Are you really unwilling to be my national advisor? I can send you any beauty you desire."

At this time, Kangxi was even more determined to win over Wutian.

Even his original plan to deal with Wutian once his power grew stronger has faded considerably.

For no other reason than that he couldn't bear to give up Wutian's power.

Although the plan to plant an undercover agent was just a small test, it already demonstrated his wisdom.

Kangxi felt that there was no divine assistance.

Not only can it eliminate domestic troubles and consolidate power...

It could also counter the powerful Mongol Yuan dynasty.

The ambition to unify the world in the future is no longer wishful thinking.

As for the somewhat humiliating method of winning someone over by sending beauties or concubines...

With the precedent set by the Tongjia sisters, Kangxi no longer resisted.

However, Gu Hanyuan was still keeping Kangxi in suspense.

Continuing to use the Empress as an excuse to refuse:

"True beauty lies in the bone structure, not just the skin. How could ordinary beauties compare even a fraction of Your Majesty's Empress?"

This was certainly not what he truly believed.

Although Hesheli was good, she was worlds apart from Huang Rong.

They were just using that phrase, which they had once used to praise Huang Rong, as an excuse.

"This……"

Emperor Kangxi was still somewhat troubled.

However, his eyes already clearly showed a willingness to soften.

If I think about it a little longer, I might agree.

Unfortunately, this was not the right time.

Upon seeing this, Gu Hanyuan immediately interrupted Kangxi's consideration.

"Your Majesty need not trouble yourself. It is late, and I should take my leave."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Kangxi breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a great deal of regret.

He hurriedly tried to persuade her to stay:

"Your Excellency may wish to stay overnight in the palace. The Tongjia sisters have both been granted the title of Imperial Concubine by me and are residing in Jingren Palace. Jingren Palace is serene and beautiful, and Your Excellency can stay for an extended period without being disturbed. However, if only the Tongjia sisters are in Jingren Palace, it may be somewhat lonely. If Your Excellency has any requests, please feel free to make them, and I will grant them without hesitation."

Gu Hanyuan understood the implied meaning in Kangxi's words.

Jingren Palace was not given to the two Tongjia sisters, but was a gift to him.

If he takes a fancy to any concubine in the future, he will send her to Jingren Palace.

Emperor Kangxi was indeed very sincere, as he made such a promise.

Perhaps at this point, we can raise the issue of demanding the Empress.

Emperor Kangxi, out of consideration for his reputation, might have allowed the Empress to visit someone.

Gu Hanyuan calmly declined:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. However, the Tongjia sisters are exhausted today, and I am not one to cruelly destroy them. I will come to find them again tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi realized that Wutian's mind was made up.

He said with considerable regret:

"In that case, I will not keep you here any longer."

"Farewell."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wutian was nowhere to be seen.

After a moment of contemplation, he shouted:

"Wen Youfang, go to the Imperial Kitchen and call Xiao Guizi over."

Chapter 595: Making Wei Xiaobao Practice the "Evil-Repelling Sword Technique"

Gu Hanyuan did not go far after leaving the Imperial Study.

They waited silently in the shadows.

Not long after, Wei Xiaobao arrived in a hurry.

He was overjoyed when he entered the imperial study, but came out full of worry.

Gu Hanyuan could understand his feelings.

Emperor Kangxi's summons of him late at night was a manifestation of his trust.

However, the task assigned to him put him in a difficult position.

Yet, he dared not refuse this promising undercover job.

As Wei Xiaobao walked, he muttered dejectedly:

"Spicy Mom, Xiao Xuanzi is so disloyal, making me do such a dangerous thing. Besides, I really admire Chief Chen, and I really don't want to harm him."

Wei Xiaobao had heard about the heroic deeds of Chen Jinnan, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, since he was a child.

He also kept in mind the motto, "If you have never met Chen Jinnan, you cannot be called a hero!" and regarded him as his idol.

However, his affection for Emperor Kangxi was equally genuine.

They even secretly considered each other as good friends.

Just now in the Imperial Study, Emperor Kangxi had spoken to him frankly and sincerely.

This gave him a deep understanding of Kangxi's difficult situation.

Even the Heaven and Earth Society and the Red Flower Society were plotting assassination.

Kangxi hoped that he would use the Mu Prince's Mansion as a breakthrough point to infiltrate the anti-Qing organization and become an undercover agent.

It would be best to join the Heaven and Earth Society or the Red Flower Society.

It's different from what's depicted in the story.

At this time, Wei Xiaobao had not yet joined the Heaven and Earth Society.

They were not inspired by Chen Jinnan's heroic spirit.

Their vision is still limited to their own small plot of land.

He was not particularly impressed by the Red Flower Society, which was mainly active in the Shengjing area.

There wasn't much psychological pressure involved in scamming people.

However, the Red Flower Society is backed by Prince Bao, and also secretly controlled by the old fox Yu Wanting.

It won't be easy for Wei Xiaobao to infiltrate them.

Therefore, the first choice is still the Heaven and Earth Society, which anyone with the same ideals can join.

However, he was conflicted because he didn't want to harm Chen Jinnan, whom he regarded as his idol.

Of course, more importantly, going undercover is too dangerous.

One wrong move and you'll be dead without a burial place.

Wei Xiaobao sighed and muttered to himself:

"If anything were to happen, Xiao Bao would really be dead."

At this time.

A sudden sound startled him so much that he almost peed himself.

"So, Xiao Gui Zi, you really admire Chen Jin Nan? Could it be that you're actually a spy sent by the Heaven and Earth Society to get close to Emperor Kangxi?"

Wei Xiaobao, still shaken, looked over.

It was Wutian, whom he had just met during the day and who had even given him a gold nugget.

He met Wutian, whom he could barely call an acquaintance.

Wei Xiaobao breathed a slight sigh of relief.

However, he quickly explained:

"How could I possibly be a spy sent by the Heaven and Earth Society? I just admired him because I heard a lot about Chief Chen's heroic deeds before I entered the palace. I am really not a member of the Heaven and Earth Society."

Gu Hanyuan waved his hand, interrupting Wei Xiaobao's explanation.
