The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 94 Kangxi’s decree
Don't take yourself too seriously. There are countless people in the world who are stronger than you. It is human nature to become rich suddenly from a poor person, to go with the flow, to lose one's sense of proportion, and to be complacent.

Qin Rou didn't pay too much attention, she was too aware of the disaster that the betrayal of a personal palace maid might bring. But the result is the same, so it doesn't matter.

How else would you feel tired? It feels uncomfortable to be guarded against this, guard against that, guard against everyone. Even though she didn't like living like this, she had to live it.

The day is counted as it passes.

What joy is there in life, and nothing fearful in death!
There was silence in the room, and Fushun didn't speak. If you do something wrong, you should be punished. If the punishment is passed, the matter will be over.

Qinrou was waiting for news in Zhenshun Zhai, and the news also entered Kunning Palace. The queen was sitting on the imperial concubine's couch and didn't seem concerned. However, she was a sinful concubine and a concubine that the emperor didn't like. There is nothing difficult to do after death.

However, the necessary procedures still had to be carried out. The queen saw Cui Lingqin, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who came to report, and an older eunuch Cui Lingqin brought, who determined the cause of death for Concubine Bai.

The empress said: "Concubine Bai is dead." It's not surprising that the concubine in the palace is dead, but the queen still wants to check.

"Yes." Cui Lingqin, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, replied. "My servant took Wang Weihe to have a look. Concubine Bai had stomach cramps at night and was suddenly ill. She couldn't wait to call the imperial doctor, so she died."

Of course, no one called the doctor for her. To ask for an imperial doctor, one must have the palace card of the Queen or Concubine Niu Hulu. Concubine Bai is just a concubine or a sinful concubine. Who will call the imperial doctor for her?

If you are sick, you will be here for nothing.

Without the emperor's will, the queen's will, and the concubine Niu Hulu's will, who would dare to invite the imperial doctor for her.

Even the servants serving in Qixiang Palace dare to ask the Queen to call the imperial doctor?

Cui Lingqin, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, only said good things.

The queen glanced at Wan Yan, who was standing aside, and pondered for a moment, then said: "How come such a young person is missing? In this way, your House of Internal Affairs will prepare it for now. Wan Yan, go to the Imperial Medical Office and hire an experienced and prudent imperial physician. Go and take a look, how long has Concubine Bai been in the palace? More than two months, less than three months, check it out, so that everyone can feel at ease."

The queen must also fulfill her duties. After all, she was still a concubine in the palace, and she had only been in the palace for two months. Her sudden death would still have some impact.

After all, although the status of concubines is not high, they cannot be trampled on at will. Moreover, there are more than 20 concubines in the palace. Apart from the queen and Concubine Niu Hulu, the most numerous concubines in the palace are concubines.

So it is somewhat noble.

"Yes." Huan Yan responded. She understood that this was to ask her to wait for the imperial doctor to investigate the cause of Concubine Bai's death and see if there were any mistakes, so as not to lead to any cases.

Cui Lingqin, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also said: "I obey the order." He also understood that the Queen Mother asked the imperial doctor to find out the cause of Concubine Bai's death.

Therefore, there is no rush to deal with Concubine Bai's funeral affairs for the time being, just make preparations first. Cui Lingqin was not afraid of this process. When he came to report, he had already reached a conclusion.

"Stay back!" the queen ordered, "Go and prepare first."

She didn't ask anyone else. The queen knew that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would definitely send the emperor some news.

……

The news of Concubine Bai's death was also sent to the emperor. Li Dequan quickly walked into the archery pavilion. The emperor was practicing riding and archery in the archery pavilion, and Concubine Niu Hulu was also waiting on him.

She was born in a noble family of the Manchu Army, and she was able to ride and shoot under the Eight Banners.

Li Dequan came quickly, but Kangxi didn't pay much attention. "Your Majesty," Li Dequan saluted. Kangxi was galloping on the field. Seeing that Li Dequan looked like he had something to report, he stopped his horse and put down the bow and arrow in his hand. Concubine Niu Hulu was also racing, her movements were standard, and the horse also stopped.

She didn't care much about what Li Dequan reported.

But you can still know a thing or two. If she needs to avoid taboos, Li Dequan will also give her some hints. Moreover, if she can't listen, the emperor will also tell her to stand down.

Looking at it now, it should be a harem matter. She can also hear it, so there is no need to avoid it.

Seeing that the emperor and Concubine Niu Hulu stopped, Li Dequan quickly reported that the emperor was exercising? But I don't have the patience to waste time with him.

Li Dequan did not dare to waste Kangxi's time, "Just now, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent a servant to report that Concubine Bai of Qixiang Palace has died."

Li Dequan did not dare to delay. To be honest, Li Dequan was not sure whether the emperor still remembered Concubine Bai, but Concubine Bai had a vicious mind and was related to Concubine Hadana. Li Dequan still wanted to report something.

The emperor only glanced at Li Dequan and ordered: "Mr. Bai has a vicious mind and a scorpion-hearted woman. Such a scorpion-hearted woman is not worthy of entering the concubine mausoleum. She is also not worthy of being my concubine, so I will take her title. The rest, It’s up to the Queen to handle it.”

A mere Bai family is not worthy of the emperor's attention.

Kangxi didn't take a Bai family seriously. There were so many concubines in the harem. If a Bai family fell, a Li family, a Liu family, a Wang family, or other concubines of the Manchu Army would stand up.

But he still had some impression of Bai Shi. She touched people she shouldn't have touched. The emperor also remembered her! But not a good impression.

"Come on, I'm going to announce the decree right now." Li Dequan said with a look.

Li Dequan speculated that the emperor's actions must be due to the concubine Hadana.

Who doesn't know that the sinner Bai Shi went there for the life of Concubine Hadana. What happened today may not be because the emperor was venting his anger on Concubine Hadana and trying to please Concubine Hadana.

Of course, the emperor would not admit it.

Concubine Niu Hulu was listening. She was indeed a woman with high emotional intelligence. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise. The sinner Bai is vicious and has a heart of snakes and scorpions. If everyone in the palace follows her as an example, there will be great chaos. There will be chaos." Severe punishment is the way to go. Only by intimidating the Sixth Palace can the concubines in the harem be harmonious."

Concubine Niu Hulu knew the emperor's imperial methods. Otherwise, she and the empress would not be the only ones in the harem who are noble.

However, Concubine Niu Hulu speculated that the emperor's vigorous and resolute treatment had something to do with the concubine Nala in Chengqian Palace. Otherwise, why would everyone in the palace want to be favored?

It seems that the important position of the concubine in Chengqian Palace needs to be mentioned. But Concubine Niu Hulu didn't mind fulfilling the emperor's wish, and she had nothing to lose.

If Concubine Nala can get up, she is not the one who needs to worry! She is not a person who takes the initiative to cause trouble. Concubine Niu Hulu really wants to get to know her a little bit.

"You have always been smart." The emperor said, "I am at ease with you. All the concubines in the harem are my concubines. I have my preferences and cannot tolerate dissatisfaction from others."

The emperor is already a qualified emperor. It was as if he favored the queen and other concubines, and could not tolerate resentment in other people's hearts.

Concubine Niu Hulu smiled slightly and lowered her head.

The emperor whipped up his horse, and Concubine Niu Hulu watched the emperor's figure go away, and then followed.
