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

The two women's relationship quickly warmed up amidst the flames of war, and they became inseparable comrades and sisters.

Last night, with the full support of Empress Dowager Borjigit, Empress Hesheli finally gave her last virginity to Gu Hanyuan.

On the specially customized huge bed, Gu Hanyuan suddenly had nowhere to stand.

Now, Gu Hanyuan has completely taken control of Kangxi's harem.

Emperor Kangxi was practically blind in the inner palace.

Both he and the concubines left behind by Emperor Shunzhi almost all became playthings of Gu Hanyuan.

Once you enter Ciren Palace, Kunning Palace, or Jingren Palace, you can never get out.

Gu Hanyuan didn't have to deal with government affairs as hard as the emperor, but he could enjoy all the benefits of being an emperor.

Unfortunately, the scene of wine, women, and carnage before him did not sway Gu Hanyuan in the slightest.

His eyes were calm and still, with a faint, eerie light flickering within.

Gu Hanyuan got up, dressed, and left Ciren Palace, ignoring the mountain of white flesh behind him.

Emperor Kangxi, who was in true power, was extremely efficient in his work.

The exterior of the previously destroyed Imperial Study has been largely restored, except for the interior decoration which is still somewhat simple.

Emperor Kangxi, who has been so busy lately, is unaware that his harem has long since become Gu Hanyuan's place of pleasure.

At this time, he was diligently working in the imperial study.

Looking at Kangxi, who appeared tired but was full of energy.

Gu Hanyuan smiled knowingly and said calmly:

"Your Majesty should take care of your health. I do not wish for such a good collaborator as Your Majesty to die young."

Emperor Kangxi was startled upon hearing this.

Coming back to his slightly dazed state, he said happily:

"So it's the Imperial Advisor. Thank you for your concern, Imperial Advisor. I understand."

Emperor Kangxi has been so diligent in his duties lately that he has almost neglected to eat and sleep, and he has been living a life almost like a eunuch. He has not returned to the harem, which no longer belongs to him, for a long time.

Besides being busy with other matters due to the aftermath of the palace battle.

Sending away Empress Hesheli, with whom they had once shared a deep bond, was also an important reason.

No matter how much you try to convince yourself that giving yourself to the woman you love will inevitably cause emotional pain.

Kangxi used his ambition to numb himself and comforted himself with the fact that he already had enough children.

One of the most important reasons why Emperor Kangxi frequently took concubines was the instruction from the "Qing Ancestral Temple".

The vast majority of matters concerning the selection of concubines were presided over by Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

The death of Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang naturally caused national grief, and Emperor Kangxi lost his restraint.

As for the Empress Dowager, she had already fallen for him both physically and mentally, and had no interest in paying attention to Kangxi.

Even when Emperor Kangxi occasionally went to pay his respects, he would receive a reply such as, "The great cause of the Qing Dynasty has not yet been accomplished; Your Majesty still needs to work hard."

In addition, the harem was almost entirely staffed by "Luo Wang" (a secret police organization).

Even the eunuchs in the Imperial Household Department wouldn't remind Kangxi that he needed to distribute the imperial favor.

With his mind so focused on the great cause of the Qing Dynasty, where would Emperor Kangxi find any reason not to work hard?

As for the harem, which Kangxi had completely lost control of, Gu Hanyuan would naturally manage it for him.

He would never have to worry about matters of the harem, and could live a peaceful life as a "eunuch emperor."

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flickered slightly as he took out a red pill.

"Your Majesty, this is a elixir that I specially refined. It has the effect of strengthening the body and restoring qi and blood."

In order to make Kangxi a better worker.

Gu Hanyuan's improved "Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill" achieves two goals at once.

Emperor Kangxi hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the "Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill" but did not swallow it directly.

Sincere thanks:

"The Imperial Advisor is very kind."

Kangxi was naturally wary of Wutian and would certainly not swallow the "Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill" so easily.

I plan to find an opportunity to have the imperial physician examine me before deciding whether or not to take it.

The new version of "Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill" personally refined by Gu Hanyuan was far beyond the ability of those imperial physicians, whose medical skills were far inferior to his, to detect any problems.

They might even just regard it as a miracle drug for strengthening the body.

Gu Hanyuan didn't take it to heart.

He didn't give the "Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pill" to Kangxi in order to control him.

After all, with Kangxi's harem completely out of control, his life was essentially in Gu Hanyuan's hands...

Gu Hanyuan could kill Kangxi without even having to do it himself.

The main concern was that Kangxi might die suddenly from being too busy, which would disrupt the plans.

That's why they took out "Leopard Fetus Tendon-Changing Pills" to nourish Emperor Kangxi's body.

Emperor Kangxi was worried that his distrustful actions would provoke dissatisfaction.

He quickly changed the subject:

"Ao Bai claims to be a loyal minister, yet I found 1.35 million taels of silver in his house. Such corruption is truly hateful!"

With Ao Bai dead, he naturally couldn't escape the fate of having his property confiscated.

However, unlike in "The Deer and the Cauldron", Suo'etu was not able to participate in Ao Bai's confiscation of property.

It was Wei Xiaobao and the "Net" that made the move.

Wei Xiaobao saved Emperor Kangxi's life.

Although he did not achieve the great feat of capturing Oboi, he gained even more of Kangxi's trust.

Wei Xiaobao, along with the members of the "Net of Deception," participated in the raid on Ao Bai's home, so naturally he dared not act on his own initiative.

I was a dutiful and obedient tool throughout the whole process.

Gu Hanyuan didn't keep all the food for himself, but he did give away 50,000 taels to Wei Xiaobao.

Wei Xiaobao received 400,000 taels less than the 450,000 taels in "The Deer and the Cauldron".

The remaining 950,000 taels naturally ended up in Gu Hanyuan's own pocket.

It wasn't that Gu Hanyuan was greedy and wanted to embezzle 400,000 taels of silver.

The main reason was to prevent Wei Xiaobao from becoming too greedy, otherwise he would easily get out of control.

However, Wei Xiaobao was still overjoyed even though he received 80-90% less than he originally expected.

After all, without Suo'etu's encouragement, how would he have known all these intricacies?

Even Wei Xiaobao's ever-growing appetite in "The Deer and the Cauldron" is related to the fact that Suo'etu initially fed him too much.

As for the two copies of the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra" in Ao Bai's hands, along with the golden silk armor and the black iron dagger, they naturally fell into Gu Hanyuan's hands.

Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"No official is without corruption. If Your Majesty wishes for a clean government and a strong nation, you still have much to work on."

Upon hearing this, Kangxi sighed and said:

"I still have no one to rely on. If it weren't for the help of the Imperial Advisor's 'Net', I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to deal with the counterattack of Ao Bai's faction."

Ao Bai was originally only captured and placed under house arrest by Emperor Kangxi.

His followers, though wanting to retaliate, inevitably hesitated, and were ultimately slowly and subtly killed by Kangxi.

However, due to Gu Hanyuan's intervention, Ao Bai died on the spot.

His followers immediately erupted in anger, nearly launching a rebellion.

Chapter 650: Kangxi: I can order a nationwide talent search to present all kinds of women to the Imperial Advisor (Please submit your own comments, flowers, and ratings)

A rebellion launched by Ao Bai's henchmen was thwarted without causing any disturbance thanks to the "Net of Deception".

All the masterminds died overnight.

While fearing the terror of the "Net of Heaven," Emperor Kangxi also hoped to utilize its power.

Gu Hanyuan readily lent the "Net" to Kangxi for his use.

Given the extent of the "Net" network's penetration in the Qing Dynasty, it is incredibly effective.

No opposition group could escape the surveillance and assassination of the "Net of Justice".

While fearing the "Net of Deception" due to the lack of available options, Emperor Kangxi had no choice but to rely on its power.

As a result, within the Qing Dynasty, the "Net" almost became an open organization.
