The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 433: Seal the coffin and carry it out of the palace

The queen shook her head and looked at her gently, feeling sad and compassionate. "The emperor was busy with government affairs before the court, so he didn't come. Even if he came, it would be sad. Alas!"

The queen did not explain too much. Originally, the affairs of the previous dynasty were not something that the concubines in the harem could interfere in. Although the death of the second princess was a big deal, it was just a small matter for the family and the country.

The sadness will pass.

The emperor will have other children; not to mention the distant ones, there is the fourth prince who is raised in the Qiandong Fifth House, the fifth prince who is raised outside the palace, and the ones in concubine Ma Jia's belly and concubine Xiao Li's belly.

Inevitably, more will be added in the future.

Losing a child is always more harmful to women, especially concubines. The queen learned this truth the hard way at this time last year, as she licked her wounds.

Ergege is neither the beginning nor the end.

Concubine Dong bit her lips tightly. She wanted to cry her heart out, but she suppressed the heartache. What flowed from her eyes were not tears, but blood.

The bright red, clearly warm, yet chilling to the core, holding the little doll of Ergege in her hands, her eyes blurred with tears, she could no longer see the road ahead, she felt that everything had wronged her, she wished she could put the whole world into her coffin. The queen let it go!

When a person dies, it's like a light goes out! It's up to Concubine Dong Shu to pack whatever she wants!
Who hasn’t experienced the pain of losing a child?
……

When the coffin was sealed, Concubine Dong burst into tears and rushed to the small coffin where the body of the Second Princess lay. Several servants held her back to prevent her from rushing over.

The servants who were sealing the coffin naturally kept moving. There was a time limit for sealing the coffin, which was urgently calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. If it was too late, it would be unlucky for the royal heir.

She watched helplessly as the small coffin was sealed in front of her, but she was powerless to do anything. Concubine Dong was in such a pain that she had lost her mind. She cried with tears on her face, "Let me go with her! Let me go with her!"

Concubine Dong struggled to death. At this time, the pain was extreme, and the living people died. Even if they survived, they would still be escaping death in the future.

Concubine Dong's behavior became more and more crazy and insane, and she seemed to want to die and follow the Second Princess.

This was of course impossible. The queen's face changed and she looked at the two servants who were serving Concubine Dong. When they met the queen's gaze, the two servants became more attentive and even hurried forward to serve Concubine Dong together.

Hold her down to stop her from making a fuss.

The queen was also anxious and grief-stricken. She advised Concubine Dong, saying, "Ms. Dong, please be more sober. The dead are gone. If you make such a fuss, do you want to bear the reputation of harming your mother even though the princess is already gone?"

Hit the snake at its most vulnerable part. The queen knew what was at stake for Concubine Dong at this moment because she felt the same pain. What Concubine Dong cared about now was not her family or her own life. She was extremely sad. She only cared about her daughter.

Maybe it was because the queen hit the nail on the head, or because the small coffin was sealed in front of her eyes, which cut off her last hope, Concubine Dong suddenly lost all her strength! She fell to the ground, and the four servants were unable to support her. Concubine Dong burst into tears, as if she had cried out all the resentment in her heart!

Crying is the right thing to do. Concubine Dong did not make a fuss, and the Queen also sympathized with her pain of losing her son. All manners and rules were not important at this moment. The Queen did not know what she was thinking of, perhaps she was thinking of the second princess who died young last year! She felt the same way, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and gently comforted her: "Cry! Crying will make you feel better."

No one spoke in the hall for a while. It seemed that the palace had been following the old path of the previous emperor since the eldest prince, and by now, the death of a child was no longer surprising.

Most of the children in the palace only had the chance to see the remains of their deceased relatives on the day of their death. The beginning of the encounter was death, and this was the norm. They were terrified, not knowing whose turn it would be the next day.

After the coffin was sealed, it was placed in the second residence, and the servants burned paper and some underwear. The second princess would still have to wear them when she went to the underworld. The concubines, who were only concubine mothers, did not have to burn the clothes themselves.

At dusk, when day and night turned, the servants carried the second princess's small coffin out. Concubine Dong was so sad that she fainted. When she woke up, she saw with her own eyes the second princess's small coffin going farther and farther away until no trace of it could be seen.

Er Gege, just like this, is accompanied by her elder brother and elder sister. Maybe she doesn't feel lonely!
Concubine Dong was still sad, and the servants around her were sad with her. No matter what the reason was, or whether she was really distressed, she was still sad. We should judge by the deeds, not the heart!
The queen forced a smile and gave a message, telling everyone: "Disperse! The atmosphere in the palace is not good. Tomorrow is still the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and what about the Lantern Festival? Cheer up and don't make any mistakes!"

During the New Year, it is not the time to be dull. Although the Lantern Festival is not a big day for the Manchus, it is still a festival after all. When in Rome, follow the local customs and show some respect!
"Yes." The concubines were still sad, and when they heard this, they still responded sadly.

The queen waved her hand, and the concubines who could leave gradually left. Qin Rou was also supported by Aunt Chen and walked towards the bedroom. The queen, supported by Yuan Yan, walked a few steps towards Concubine Dong. Seeing her in agony, she said, "It will pass!"

Everyone will experience it, and everyone will come out of it. Thousands of words, in the end, just turn into this sentence. What if you don't come out of it?

Sadness is always sad. As time goes by, people will gradually forget it. People are always good at forgetting the pain and remembering the happiness!

Concubine Dong leaned on the servant, feeling a big hole in her heart, blood gushing out, and it was raining heavily, and the ice was blowing air into the hole. She didn't move, just stood there, feeling the pain. I don't know what time it is now!
Concubine Dong did not answer, and the queen did not expect her to answer. She ordered the servants who served Concubine Dong: "Help Concubine Dong go back! You should serve her well these days and think of ways to make her happy. Don't let her think too much. This person! When she thinks, she feels pain."

"Yes." The servants supported Concubine Dong and answered. After the queen finished giving her instructions, she also prepared to return to her bedroom.

Concubine Yehenala walked slowly, and once again respectfully saw off the Empress, and then approached Concubine Dong. I don't know what she said, maybe just some words of comfort! It was too far away, and Qin Rou didn't hear it clearly.

They went to the bedroom in silence all the way. On the way, no one mentioned the Second Princess who had just died young. They were all survivors. They might not be smart, but they were cautious.

No one wants to say a few words at this time. What if you poke the lungs? Will you still be alive?

I don't ask for favors, I just want to avoid trouble, so the journey is smooth.

Qin Rou returned to Chengqian Palace like this.

When they came, Wusuli concubine did not dare to go with Qinrou, and could only follow behind, far behind. It is not an exaggeration to say that she kept a distance.

At that time, the imperial physician who had come earlier to take Qin Rou's pulse was waiting; waiting to take Qin Rou's pulse.
