Chapter 1379

Since the other party specifically mentioned the Tonggiashi sisters.

It was clear that he wanted him to offer his sincerity first.

Kangxi's feelings for the Tonggiashi sisters naturally could not compare to those for the Empress.

But as soon as he thought about having to compromise and send the sisters away, he felt an indescribable sense of stifling frustration.

Yet, the power balance between the two was currently unequal.

He had no choice but to comply.

After all, Wutian did not necessarily need him.

He could completely seek cooperation with Prince Bao.

For example, by driving him off the throne and then offering up all his women.

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

To know that Prince Bao would absolutely agree.

Therefore, he had no choice but to force a smile and say:

"... Tomorrow, I will take the younger sister of the Tonggiashi into the palace. At that time, I invite Excellency to come and have a drink."

The phrasing of "having a drink" was Kangxi's last shred of dignity.

Gu Hanyuan did not care about this.

The playful look in his eyes flashed and vanished.

He said calmly:

"Then I shall congratulate Your Majesty. Tomorrow, I will certainly arrive at the banquet on time. Farewell."

After saying this, he walked away leisurely.

Even though Gu Hanyuan had already walked far away.

He could still hear the sounds of smashing coming from the direction of the Imperial Study.

Clearly, Kangxi was in a fit of impotent rage.

Gu Hanyuan's expression was somewhat subtle.

Even for the Saint Ancestor of the Qing who created a golden age.

When the situation is stronger than the person, one can only vent their anger in this way.

Although he was enduring with compromise.

But the moment he agreed to the request.

His fate was already sealed.

After all, sunk costs are not so easily abandoned.

And Kangxi's probing would arrive very soon.

As long as he is given a lesson of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice.

From then on, he would only become increasingly unable to do without Wutian's assistance.

At this moment, inside the Imperial Study.

Kangxi was panting heavily with bloodshot eyes.

Fragments of vases, tables and chairs, lamp stands, and memorials were scattered all over the floor.

From time to time, he gritted his teeth and muttered, "Too deceptive."

The Kangxi of this world was not an emperor without the strength to truss a chicken.

He had also cultivated some martial arts.

Although his cultivation base was low, he would not be so exhausted from just moving around a little.

Clearly, it was the psychological blow that caused a greater impact.

It took Kangxi quite a while to calm his mood.

He muttered to himself with a gloomy face:

"I must learn from the Empress Dowager how to contend with an Earth Immortal, otherwise, would I not have to suffer this humiliation forever!"

Kangxi originally did not want to seek help from Xiaozhuang.

After all, that would make him appear very incompetent.

Moreover, it was not appropriate to ask Xiaozhuang about the infighting of the imperial court.

However, the situation was now different.

If Oboi were successfully captured and killed.

Then Wutian would be the first person he would have to deal with.
