Bumbutai really had nothing to say about this matter. She had also climbed up step by step from a small concubine! She was not even a favored person at the beginning. If it were not for the death of Hailanzhu and the sudden death of Huang Taiji, the position of the Holy Mother Empress Dowager would have belonged to Hailanzhu now!

It is even possible that Fulin is not the emperor!

"Grandmother, you should know that no one is right, right? It is indeed me they admire, but only my power and status!"

Bumbutai wanted to refute, but Kangxi spoke faster than her, saying, "Grandmother, it's not easy for a person to meet someone who would risk their life for them. Although I am the emperor, I am also a human being! Wanting to spend my life with someone I love and who loves me, is it really against the will of heaven and an unforgivable sin?"

After Kangxi finished speaking, neither of them spoke for a while and the room was quiet.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was finally a light in the Empress Dowager’s eyes.

"Xuanye, have you ever thought about what the Crown Prince would do if Harigana continued to be favored?"

Kangxi had considered this question before. He had already asked Harigana when she was pregnant. Although he was hesitant at first, he believed her. He knew that although Harigana looked silly, she would think a lot about such matters.

Since she said she wanted a son to be a leisurely prince in the future, he would definitely believe what Harigana said.

And the most important point is what the Imperial Observatory said. If the one in Harigana's belly is really the noble person the Imperial Observatory said, then for the future of the Qing Dynasty, it is not impossible to change the crown prince.

But it’s too early to say these things now. We will have to wait until Harigana gives birth to the child to know everything.

"Grandmother, I have already thought about Baocheng's matter, and I have a clear idea in my mind!"

"Could it be that you still want to depose Baocheng from the position of Crown Prince? Have you ever thought about whether Hesheli would agree if you did so?"

As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, the Empress Dowager immediately questioned him. If he really wanted to depose the crown prince, then not only would Borchijin be killed, but even the one in her belly would be killed!

"Grandmother, I will not depose the Crown Prince. Even if I do, it's because Baocheng doesn't have the qualifications to be emperor. I am the Emperor, and I know that matters of state are not to be trifled with. I will never allow the birth of a son by Harigana to shake Baocheng's position."

The Empress Dowager was still worried that Kangxi was so bewitched by the woman from the Borchijin tribe that he had forgotten the proper thinking and considerations of an emperor.

However, Kangxi's words reminded her that she could leave this person alone, but if Hesheli knew about this matter, she would never let it go.

"Xuanye, go back first! I need to think carefully!"

Bumbutai thought of the Hesheli clan, and she made up her mind. She not only regretted her actions against the Hesheli clan, but even more so, she regretted having allowed Nianhulu clan to die so young. But now everything was over, and she felt that the woman from the Borchijin tribe had only been favored because none of the concubines who had come with her were good-looking enough to satisfy Kangxi.

After returning to the palace, he didn't believe that the emperor would still stay with a pregnant woman. Not to mention whether she would agree, even those in the previous dynasty would not agree to a Mongolian concubine being favored alone. She thought that the time would be right for her to take action.

Moreover, the beauty pageant will be held next year. When batches of beauties enter the palace, I don’t believe that there won’t be any one who can catch the emperor’s eye!

Now that the woman from the Borchijin tribe was pregnant with the dragon heir, no matter what, she had to give birth to the child first. After all, Xuanye had very few children, only eight now, and it was unknown whether the younger ones could survive, so no action was appropriate for the time being.

"Grandmother, Harigana is the one I love, the one I want to spend my life with. I know you won't like her, and I won't let her come to you to annoy you, nor will I ask you to accept her."

After Kangxi finished speaking, he lifted up his dragon robe again and knelt before her. He looked very solemn and looked at Bumbutai with deep eyes. That look made the Empress Dowager's heart tremble.

"Grandmother, Xuanye knows your concerns, and he has never forgotten your teachings. But regarding the matter of Harigana, Xuanye will never back down! You are Xuanye's grandmother, you are Xuanye's relative! Harigana is Xuanye's lover, your wife, and Xuanye cannot live without her!

Xuanye doesn't want to force you, but if the Empress Dowager does something that hurts the relationship between the grandmother and the grandson, Xuanye doesn't know what he will do! Perhaps, I can ask Wendul what the crime of damaging the emperor's dragon body is! "

How could Kangxi not understand Bumbutai's thoughts? He had been with the Grand Empress Dowager since he was seven or eight years old. Although the Grand Empress Dowager kept many things from him, he was no longer the child he once was. After taking power, he also used many tricks.

It's not that he didn't feel guilty before, but when he thought about it, he himself was helpless, not to mention those women.

So it’s not that he doesn’t know some things, he just weighs the pros and cons and makes the choice that is most beneficial to himself.

Even in recent years, he allowed everyone in the harem to fight with each other and allowed everyone, including the Empress Dowager, to force women on him, just because he didn't care.

But now it’s different. He can’t pretend he knows nothing and let those people do the same things as usual.

He said he would protect Harigana, and no matter what the future holds, he would grit his teeth and persevere.

Therefore, he had to point out this matter now. Although it would make the Empress Dowager feel uncomfortable, for Harigana, he had no choice.

He could protect them, he could send people to watch over them, but he couldn't withstand multiple people joining forces, and he was afraid of any unexpected events.

The Empress Dowager was indeed shocked. During this period, because of the women of the Borchijin tribe, she suddenly realized that she really didn't understand this grandson.

"Xuanye, you..."

Bumbutai suddenly didn't know what to say. She never thought that these things would be discovered by Kangxi.

Over the years, Xuanye never said a harsh word. Even if she found a few girls from Khorchin to enter the palace every year, he would just keep silent and eventually compromise.

But I never expected that he would say such harsh words now.

"Xuanye, so, you didn't tell me that she was pregnant because you were afraid of what I might do?"

Kangxi shook his head. Even if he had thought so before, he wouldn't admit it now. It was enough to be clear in the heart. Some things can be said, and some things cannot be said.

"Grandmother, the child in Harigana's belly is Xuanye's son and your great-grandson. Xuanye believes that you will not harm his child."

Bumbutai's heart still ached. Although Kangxi did not explain it clearly, she knew that the relationship between them as grandparents and grandchildren had been completely broken.
