In the imperial study, as soon as Bumbutai walked in, Kangxi stood up to greet her: "Grandmother, why did you come in person? I was thinking of going to see you after I finished reviewing the memorials!"

He helped the person sit down on the chair and returned to the dragon throne to wait for the Empress Dowager to ask questions.

Bumbutai had already checked every corner of the imperial study, but found no trace of that bitch.

His eyes inadvertently glanced at the lounge in the imperial study, and he thought someone might be hiding in there, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.

【Deeply scheming! 】

Bumbutai gave Harigana a new definition.

"Your Majesty, I am old now, and walking more is good for my health. You are so busy these days, and I cannot waste your precious time.

You are the Emperor, and you should prioritize state affairs. If I didn't really have something to discuss with you, I wouldn't come to the Imperial Study to disturb you."

Kangxi chuckled in his heart. Once he saw through a person, he could see through her heart just by the smallest movement.

Just like the Empress Dowager at this moment, although she said it was for his own good, she had been quietly looking around the imperial study since she entered the room, and even glanced towards the inner room several times.

It goes without saying that Su Malagu must have gone back to tell her that Harigana was in the imperial study, and since he hadn't gone to the Cining Palace until this hour, he came here just to cause trouble.

The Empress Dowager is still the same person as before. Everything that happened during the two previous visits to her was just a show.

Or rather, it's being performed for everyone to see.

She wants to play a big game.

"Grandmother is right!" Kangxi chuckled. "I didn't expect Grandmother and the Imperial Noble Consort to think alike."

Bumbutai was completely confused. What was the similarity between her and that bitch?

"Grandmother, the Imperial Noble Consort said the same thing to you. Xuanye asked her to stay in the Imperial Study with me, but she ended up having lunch and then went to the Empress Dowager."

Bumbutai's face almost collapsed. The emperor did this on purpose, absolutely on purpose.

She was the Empress Dowager, a woman who could assist two generations of kings.

That bitch from the Borchijin tribe, what qualifications does she have to be compared with her?

"Really? The Imperial Concubine is quite understanding!"

Kangxi said this simply because he didn't want the Empress Dowager to misunderstand Harigana. It didn't matter whether she believed it or not. The only thing was that she shouldn't be said to be a seductive woman who tempted the emperor.

His Jiaojiao has a good sense of propriety and will never interfere with any of his decisions.

"Grandmother, you said you had something to discuss with Xuanye. I wonder what it is?"

Bumbutai collected her thoughts and thought that she should really have a good talk with Kangxi.

There is nothing wrong with holding power, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to eliminate dissidents, but his actions are too big and are likely to cause unrest.

"Emperor, I heard that you have already imprisoned Soetu. Are you planning to undermine the foundation of the Hesheli family?

Have you ever thought that once Soetu is touched, Baocheng will have no support behind him.

I know that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, but I raised you, and what I hope most is that you live a good life.

I think you should think more about this matter and not act impulsively, or you will regret it later."

What Bumbutai said was actually not wrong, and if Soetu had not wanted to attack Harigana and the two children, he would not have made those crimes public for the time being, and would have given him a light punishment and a stern warning to make him change his mind.

But now Soetu can no longer be kept. Not only will Harigana and the child be in danger, but even Baochengdu has been led astray by him. Keeping such a person here will be a disaster.

After hearing the words of the Grand Empress Dowager, Kangxi was sure that she would not speak again, so he moved his body and chuckled: "Grandmother, whether the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty can ascend the throne is not determined by the emperor's status or bloodline, but depends on the attitude of outsiders?

When did this rule come about? Xuanye has never heard of it before."

Since she can't speak, he won't give her face.

What does it mean that Baocheng has no strength to back him up? It’s not enough for him to have the emperor as his backing, but he actually has to look at the mood of Soetu?

Bumbutai realized her gaffe, but that was not what she meant.

"Xuanye, what are you talking about?"

As soon as Bumbutai finished speaking, Kangxi interrupted her: "Grandmother, Xuanye said that he has grown up and you are old, so you should not worry about things that you should not worry about.

Now is not the time for you to rule the country from behind the scenes. You are not familiar with the affairs of the previous dynasty. Do not do such things that harm your body and mind in the future."

Kangxi's words were like a slap in the face, and Bumbutai's face finally darkened.

"Xuanye, are you blaming me for meddling in other people's affairs?"

Whose good is she doing? Why isn't any of these people obedient?

"Grandmother, the affairs of the former court are the responsibility of the Emperor, and the affairs of the harem are the responsibility of the Empress.

Since ancient times, when there was a clear division of labor and relatives interfered in politics, didn’t all dynasties decline?

As an emperor, what's wrong with me being a little arbitrary?

Is it because the people of the world lack food, clothing and shelter, or because there is a riot somewhere, that you say I am a tyrant?

Since there is none of these, then my decision is right and correct.

Grandmother, Xuanye says it again, I am the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. I have reached the age of thirty and have my own ideas and decisions. I do not like and am unwilling to listen to other people's advice.

The censor is a good example!

He always uses the name of "cleansing the imperial court" to tell me his own ideas, and I can't stand it. So I sent him back to the countryside and let him think about why I did what I did in the fields. "

After Kangxi finished speaking, the Empress Dowager staggered, but fortunately she held on to the handle and was not seriously injured.

"Xuanye, I underestimated you!"

Bumbutai stood up and was about to leave. Kangxi loosened his clenched fists, stood up and walked to her side. Looking at her gray hair, he felt distressed, but he could do nothing.

Some things are said and that’s it. Some things are not his fault. He can’t back down just because he feels bad. Not all things can be solved by taking a step back.

"Grandmother, Xuanye never intended to hurt your feelings, but can you please enjoy your old age in peace and enjoy the company of your grandchildren?

You are old now, and you have been planning for them for so long. Now, can't you let go of what's in your heart for Xuanye?"

Kangxi's words came from the bottom of his heart. He was indeed grateful to the Empress Dowager. If there was even a slight chance, he would never let things develop like this.

Bumbutai closed her eyes and didn't look at Kangxi. She just stopped walking out and said something in a cold voice that completely chilled Kangxi's heart.

"Xuanye, I have experienced so many ups and downs over the years and I know what is right and what is wrong. I will never watch you make such a mistake."
