"Human desires are endless, and this is especially true of Your Majesty. In the past, you were thinking of nurturing the Crown Prince, but now you are suppressing him. What is Your Majesty afraid of? Do I have to say it?"
Kangxi looked at a face that seemed unchanged for decades and said, "You are not afraid of me at all. You say whatever comes to mind and are not afraid of making me angry."
Wanwan turned her head to get closer to Kangxi, looking at his face. "Your Majesty is wrong. It's not that I'm not afraid of you, it's that I don't care. Even if you're angry, so what? I haven't done anything wrong. At most, we'll just not see each other again."
But so what?
This is precisely the question that I care about the least. After all, things have changed, and some things and some people can never be the same again.
"Besides, now that Xiao Liu is doing well, I, as his mother, will likely become the Empress Dowager, so what is there to be afraid of?"
"Your Majesty, my life has been truly fulfilling."
"When I was young, I was loved by my parents and lived a carefree life. After I grew up and entered the palace, I was also loved by the emperor, as well as by the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. They treated me very well."
"When the children grow up and become successful, they will be extremely filial to their mother."
"Perhaps in another month, I will become the Empress Dowager, the most honorable woman in the world. The days are gone and it doesn't matter, after all, I have gained it."
The more Wanwan said, the angrier Kangxi became.
Empress Dowager – that only happens after the emperor dies.
Even now that I am still alive, I am already thinking about the Empress Dowager.
After saying so much, Wanwan felt that she had already answered all the questions that Kangxi wanted to ask. "Is there anything else Your Majesty would like to ask me? I will answer to the best of my knowledge."
Kangxi suppressed the bitterness in his heart. "Alright, I'll ask you one last question: Have you changed?"
"Didn't Your Majesty hear what I just said? I said, I have never changed."
What was it like before? And what is it like now?
It's just that things have changed, and people have changed, but I have never changed, nor do I want to change.”
"Alright, I understand. Xiao Liu should be back in another month."
Now that he is the emperor, I am determined to receive him with the highest level of courtesy.
Whether you are an Imperial Noble Consort or an Imperial Mother, you will have to attend. So please prepare well these days.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."
Upon hearing that Kangxi was leaving, Wanwan immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully see you off."
Seeing Wanwan's eagerness, Kangxi felt a pang of sadness. "Imperial Noble Consort, how did we drift further and further apart?"
After thinking for a moment, Wanwan said softly, "Perhaps the Emperor is making trouble for me because of another woman, or perhaps he is holding me accountable."
It could also be that the Emperor disregarded my dignity and arbitrarily bestowed the title "Wan" upon other women, or perhaps it was because the Emperor was wary of me and kept his distance.
"I've forgotten exactly when we started to drift apart. It seems like we started to grow distant without even realizing it, and our feelings for each other seem to have faded."
"I have said what I needed to say. If Your Majesty has nothing else to say, please return now."
As Kangxi listened to the woman he once loved most, he wondered if he had made a mistake while she was sending him away.
But then you have to firmly tell yourself that he is not wrong, that everything he did was for the sake of the country and its people, and never for his own sake.
