The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 432 Kangxi, not here yet?

Nodding, Qin Rou calmly replied, "Thank you for your help!"

She was so anxious that she stood up immediately. As Qinrou stood up, the servants also got busy. Aunt Chen immediately came forward to support her. The concubine was pregnant with a dragon fetus, which was the most important thing. Qinrou didn't care about these things. She also instructed the imperial doctors, saying:
"I am busy. I will trouble you to check my pulse again when I get back. Once you are sure, report back to the Emperor and the Empress."

Ask the imperial doctors to hide it? Impossible! No matter how important other things are, they are not as important as one's future. Pregnant women in the palace are precious, but no matter how precious they are, there is no way to ask the imperial doctors to lie about such an important matter.

To put it bluntly, it's because of their status and position.

Therefore, even though Qin Rou felt that this was not a good time, Concubine Dong had just lost the Second Princess. At this time, the whole palace was happy for the arrival of another child. This was too cruel for her!
This applies to everyone.

When Qin Rou stood up, the smiles on the servants' faces were not so obvious anymore. They also remembered what day it was and their brows were filled with worry. Today was really a...

Why are there so many coincidences in the world? It's so hurtful!
Qin Rou also wanted to frown. She had known for a long time that she might be pregnant, but to be diagnosed at this time was really... a troubled time!
The imperial doctors responded hastily. If they were asked to lie or hide the news, they would definitely not do that. If anything went wrong with the dragon fetus, they would have their heads held high.

But if they were asked to check the pulse carefully to confirm whether she was pregnant, they would naturally agree. This was reasonable, as they did not want to report the good news of pregnancy in vain. To put it bluntly, it would be deceiving the emperor, and it could cost them their future and heads, and even implicate their families.

"Your servant/minor official will take his leave." The imperial doctors responded and then left. Qin Rou did not stay!
She was helped to change into plain clothes, and took off the jewelry and silk flowers on her head. She also wore a fox-white cloak and a moon-white hot-water bottle.

Seeing Qinrou preparing to go out, Aunt Chen said to Qinrou, "The concubine is in a delicate condition now. Xiaoman is young and immature, so I am afraid that he will not be able to take good care of her and the heir in her womb. Today, I will serve by her side. I have enough experience. If you bring Cangzi with you, he is strong and will be more reassuring to serve her."

Anything could happen in the palace. It was crowded today, and the concubine might fall down. Then! It didn't matter whether the culprit was punished or not. The most important thing was that the concubine was injured or the dragon fetus was injured.

Aunt Chen had to consider the bad things first.

Cangzi was suddenly called out, and he had not yet personally served the concubine before she went out! Hearing this, Cangzi hurriedly said: "I will serve the concubine well, so don't worry."

The baby in this belly is the foundation of their Chengqian Palace, it is very important, even at the risk of his own life, Cangzi must keep him safe. At that time, even if he is unfortunate and loses his life, he will still protect his family.

With Aunt Chen and the concubine, they will never forget his contributions.

In short, if you want the horse to run fast, you have to feed it fertile grass.

Cangzi is sure of this.

Qin Rou paused, wanting to refuse, but finally acquiesced. She didn't look forward to the arrival of this child, but since he was here, it was a mother's instinct to love her son. Qin Rou was also willing to change some things for him. At least, she would devote all her energy and make plans for his well-being for the rest of his life.

"Let's go! Don't be late." Qin Rou said. Chengqian Palace was quite far away from West Five Palaces. It was the farthest from her among all the palaces. If she was late, it would be bad.

Aunt Chen supported Qin Rou and hurried away, and Cangzi quickly followed.

Such a big event was announced by the Empress's decree. Concubine Wusuli received the news at about the same time and hurriedly changed into plain clothes. Although her clothes were plain to begin with, plainer clothes would be better. The emperor and the empress lost their children, and you still wore red and green to hang around the emperor and the empress. Are you afraid that you are tired of living?

Wusuli concubine was embarrassed, but she followed Qinrou quietly a few steps behind. She didn't dare to walk with Nara concubine, because Nara concubine was always alone in the palace.

Even when she was seriously ill, all the concubines in the palace went to visit her but were not allowed to enter the Zhenshunzhai. The example is there. Even the concubine Wusuli did not dare to approach her!
Today was a grand occasion that the whole palace was in an uproar. All the concubines in the palace were rushing to the West Fifth Office. The servants were even more cautious while doing their work, fearing that they would step on a landmine.

This was the second time they came to the West Five Residence. The Empress, Concubine Nianhulu, and the concubines who had arrived earlier were all in the West Five Residence. The Empress was already instructing the servants to pack the coffin. Concubine Wusuli also came forward a few steps, almost following Qinrou.

The two of them entered the room together. Before they saw the body of the second princess, they bowed to the empress and Concubine Niuhulu and greeted them, "Hello, Empress, and Concubine Niuhulu."

The queen was also busy, so she just glanced at them and said, "Go wait aside!"

Concubine Dong was held by several servants, crying heart-wrenchingly on the small coffin of the Second Princess. The other concubines also shed tears secretly, wiping their tears with handkerchiefs from time to time.

Then the two of them were helped by the servants to retreat to the side. Kangxi was not there. Did he not come yet? Or did he come and leave again? Qinrou had a question in her mind, but she did not ask it out loud.

She knows when to go!

The coffin was about to be sealed when the concubines from the Yanx Palace hurried over and performed the usual formal ceremony. Then the Queen asked them to step aside.

At this moment, all the concubines in the harem have arrived.

The Empress was in charge, and Concubine Nianhulu was also there to accompany her. None of them said much, but Concubine Dong was crying sadly, and everyone else was sad too.

The Queen said, "It's time to seal the coffin. Concubine Dong, I know you are sad. Who wouldn't be sad after losing a child?" The Queen sighed and continued:
"Don't cry yet. Look carefully in this hall and see who the second princess loves. Take them to the small coffin for her. Don't let her suffer any injustice in the underworld. After the coffin is sealed, we will carry her out. This is the last thing we can do for her."

The palace has its own rules. Unlike the case of the eldest princess, where the emperor kept her for one night, the second princess would be carried out after the coffin was sealed.

Asking the concubines to come and see him off is the best rule set in the palace.

Concubine Dong still did not move. She touched her chest and felt her heart was being torn apart, as if she were being cut by thousands of knives!
If you can't bear to die, why live?

The queen was kind-hearted, sighed again, and told her again, "Go! Don't make yourself regret it. When you think back on the last day, you didn't pack up her favorite things for her. I'm afraid you will be heartbroken and regretful."

Concubine Dong finally raised her head, her eyes tearing up and her voice hoarse as she asked the empress, "Where is the emperor? Is he coming?"

A single stone stirs up a thousand ripples. Qin Rou suddenly raised her head. Kangxi... hasn't arrived yet?
