Chapter 1552

"If it weren't for the Imperial Preceptor's help yesterday, I would not have been able to save my life."

Gu Hanyuan said calmly:

"Just don't forget my reward, Your Majesty."

Kangxi smiled indifferently hearing this.

He said in a somewhat inexplicable tone:

"Imperial Preceptor, just go to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility yourself; I have already explained the severity to the Empress yesterday, and she has also promised with great righteousness."

Kangxi had originally thought that convincing Empress Hesheli would be a very difficult thing.

However, Hesheli had promised plainly.

And her gaze toward him was like that of a stranger.

Although such a gaze made Kangxi very uncomfortable, he could understand it.

After all, being sent away by her own husband, such a reaction was not excessive.

Not to mention that she was the Empress, the mother of the country.

The childhood sweetheart relationship between Kangxi and Hesheli had already been shattered.

If it weren't for his worry about Wutian, Kangxi would have already prepared to depose the Empress and establish a new one.

But because of Wutian's existence, Kangxi didn't dare to establish a new Empress at all.

Not only was he afraid that Wutian would have an opinion, but he was also afraid that he would take a fancy to the new Empress.

Wouldn't that have been a wasted effort?

It was better to temporarily maintain the tacit understanding with Hesheli.

Gu Hanyuan's eyes flashed with a deep light, and he said calmly:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty; since that is the case, I will take my leave."

"Please go ahead, Imperial Preceptor."

Kangxi looked at the figure disappearing before him, his expression changing slightly.

How could he not know what Wutian would do next?

The Empress, with whom he had a deep relationship and was a childhood sweetheart, was about to be sent by him into the arms of another man to engage in intimacy.

As a man, it was hard not to feel uncomfortable in his heart.

However, it finally turned into a gloomy sigh.

Having experienced so many things, Kangxi had already let go of the feelings between men and women and put all his energy into state affairs.

Anyway, he already had quite a few imperial princes, and his eldest legitimate son, Chenghu, had already been born.

The feelings between men and women were ultimately no match for the magnificent ambition in his heart.
