As soon as these words were spoken, the Empress Dowager's heart stopped beating instantly and her face turned pale.

It’s not that the Empress Dowager can’t disguise herself, but she knows Kangxi’s strength. Now that he says this and that, it is obvious that he already knows the truth.

Looking at the expression of the Empress Dowager, he felt as if he had been stabbed by a sword, feeling distressed, sad and heartbroken.

In short, he felt that when he saw the Empress Dowager in the future, he didn't know what kind of mood and attitude he should have towards her.

If he had not been poisoned this time and asked the secret guards to investigate the cause, he would not have known that this seemingly kind-hearted imperial grandmother was actually a ruthless person behind the scenes.

He could kill people on the battlefield and engage in intrigue in official circles, but he could not accept the fact that he could kill a woman who had been with him for many years, or even a woman who was pregnant with his child!

"Grandmother, do you know why Xuanye was in a coma for two days?"

Kangxi's voice was steady, without any emotion, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

Bumbutai's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly had a bad feeling.

"When you first attacked Hesheli, did you ever consider that one day Xuanye might accidentally eat her food and end up harming him?"

Bumbutai immediately retorted: "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Now that things have come to this, there is no need for her to hide it any longer, so she just says it out loud.

"I just don't want the Hesheli clan to become too powerful. At that time, the Hesheli clan had the intention of secretly controlling the government. I had no choice but to make the Hesheli clan disappear from the palace!

If you can maintain order in the government after losing a queen, why can't you as the emperor?"

The Empress Dowager's aura suddenly became fierce. A few years ago, Kangxi was not as mature and powerful as he is now.

The four great ministers had finally eliminated the hidden danger, but afterwards Soetu and others seemed to have the intention of making a comeback. She would never allow such a thing to happen.

Kangxi chuckled and sighed.

He knew that the Empress Dowager was doing this for his own good, but she had forgotten one thing: the Qing Dynasty would ultimately belong to the Aisin Gioro clan.

But Bumbutai was just a woman in the harem, and if she wanted to interfere in state affairs, she needed the emperor's approval.

Hesheli is certainly hateful, but isn’t the Empress Dowager hateful?

She secretly stirred up trouble and caused Yinreng to lose his mother when he was young. What's the difference between her and Hesheli and others?

"Grandmother, I remember Xuanye told you at that time that he had already made up his mind. Please enjoy your remaining years in peace and contentment!"

Having said this, Kangxi did not procrastinate any further.

"Grandmother, if Hesheli were still alive, Soetu might have already joined forces with Xuanye.

Because of what Soetu did, Hesheli had been secretly telling Xuanye that Hesheli had never thought about helping Soetu, and had never even thought about helping the Hesheli clan!

Moreover, at that time, Suo Etu had already begun to show signs of submission. You caused He Sheli to lose her life, which only accelerated the process and did not achieve any effect. It even caused He Sheli to have doubts in her heart, so that they still do not trust me!"

These words were like a knife, stabbing the Empress Dowager's heart, leaving her speechless for a moment.

"Grandmother, Niuhulu has never done anything against the will of heaven, yet you actually used the same method to kill her. Why is that?"

Kangxi had not finished speaking. Looking at the appearance of the Empress Dowager, he suddenly felt a sense of pleasure in his heart. It was not for Hesheli, not for Nianhulu, but for all the people who died because of the Empress Dowager's selfishness!

"Xuanye! Who am I doing this for?"

Bumbutai still felt that she did nothing wrong. She saw that the situation was not right, so what was wrong with taking action directly?

"Imperial grandmother, I am the emperor!

I have already said that I will never forget the things you have done for me and the things you have done for me.

But don't forget, I have been in charge of the government for a long time, and I don't need to come to you and tell you every time I make a decision!

I am the ruler of this world, and I have my own principles and rules for doing things.

You absolutely shouldn't have been stirring up trouble after I'd made a decision, and you're interfering in government affairs under the pretext of doing it for my own good!"

Kangxi's voice began to become sharp because of the Empress Dowager's stubbornness and the hardships he had gone through in those years when he was about to succeed but was dragged down by various things.

"Xuanye, you have a plan, why don't you tell me! If I knew, would so many things have happened?"

Bumbutai was heartbroken, very heartbroken.

When Kangxi heard these words, he lost his initial gentleness and tolerance, and also his irritability and sadness from disappointment.

"Grandmother, I repeat, I am the Emperor, and you are the Grand Empress Dowager. You have no right and no position to interfere in state affairs.

I am not a tyrant, I know what I am doing, I don't need you to purge my court, I don't want it, and I don't need it!

These words are not pleasant to hear, but Xuanye only said them once. If you interfere in politics or even interfere in the harem in the name of doing good for me again, I will take action against Korchin.

I have reason to suspect that your obstruction is for Khorchin's sake, and that you intend to replace him."

"Xuanye, how dare you!"

The Empress Dowager was so angry that she was shaking all over. Korchin was her bottom line. Kangxi knew it clearly, but now he was using this to threaten her.

All this is because of Harigana, because of that bitch Borchijin!

"I am the emperor, why shouldn't I dare?

You have been bringing concubines from Khorchin into my harem one after another. Do you really think that I don’t know what you are thinking?

Since you want my protection, then just listen to me quietly and don’t do anything behind my back!

From today on, for the sake of your safety, Xuanye has decided to place a few secret guards around you. Grandmother, you can now rest assured and enjoy your retirement!

Kangxi looked at the Empress Dowager who was about to faint, and a trace of pity flashed through his heart, but thinking of the Empress Dowager's past methods and ambitions, he could only bite the bullet and continue to harden his heart.

"Grandmother, soon Tsarist Russia and the Qing Dynasty will go to war. I will send a letter to Wenduer, asking Khorchin and the Qing Dynasty to join forces to attack Tsarist Russia.

Grandmother, I want to see if the Khorchin you've been thinking about will choose you in the end!"
