The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 95 The living are scarier than the dead

In Zhenshunzhai.

Cangzi went out to inquire and came back quickly, "Concubine," Cangzi bowed. He didn't inquire too clearly, but it was almost enough. Cangzi reported back: "Concubine Bai's body is temporarily parked in Qixiang Palace. The Empress has sent people to the Imperial Medical Office to invite the Imperial Physician to take a look. Concubine Bai's death will be dealt with separately after the Imperial Physician takes a look."

If the emperor does not handle matters in the harem, the empress will almost always have the final say. Cangzi only went out for a while and found out almost everything.

The emperor's disposal will also arrive at Kunning Palace first. After the queen gets the decree, she will then handle it according to the emperor's wishes. Basically nothing can go wrong.

Qinrou nodded! She straightened up, got down to the ground, put on her shoes, and a series of movements were smooth and smooth.

Even though Xiaoman was kneeling, he quickly stepped forward to serve him. Qinrou glanced at her and said, "I'm going out for a walk, you don't have to wait on me."

Xiao Man looked panicked. Does the concubine no longer need her to serve her?
Qinrou just said calmly: "Think about it for yourself! You can think about it. This time, it is a reminder, so that you can take care of it in the future. But if you can't think about it, sooner or later it will be a disaster. Sooner or later, sooner or later, There’s no difference.”

Qinrou walked, but her clear voice remained, "Remember what I told you from the beginning, be cautious and act with due diligence. Think about these words carefully when you act."

"Cangzi, please stay with me!" Qinju said. Cangzi quickly followed.

Fushun and Xiaoman both bowed, and Cangzi quickly followed.

As soon as Cangzi entered the door, he found Xiaoman kneeling. He knew it well, fearing that he might have made some mistake during the time when he went out to inquire about the news and asked the concubine to be punished.

He cared, but didn't care too much; the concubine was already a good-tempered master, and would not punish anyone without any reason. Since Xiaoman was punished, he must have made some intolerable mistake.

And when will a slave be free from any censure and punishment from his master?

He looked at the concubine's expression and did not dare to speak again.

Qinrou walked along the palace road in front of Chengqian Palace, with Cangzi waiting on the side. She walked straight along the palace road in front of Chengqian Palace, and at the end was the Imperial Garden. Cang Zi also thought she was just a concubine and wanted to take a walk in the imperial garden!
There were almost no people on the palace road, only palace maids and servants were coming and going. Although Qinrou was only a concubine, she walked through without any obstruction. No one wants to stop her, and no one dares to stop her!
Entering the Imperial Garden, the chrysanthemums have faded, the plum blossoms have not bloomed, the fallen leaves are colorful, and the grass and trees are dry. Only some evergreen species are still standing strong, adding a touch of green to the imperial garden.

Walking around the rockery and flowing water, Cangzi said: "Now that winter is approaching, the flowers and grass are all withered, and there is no good scenery in the Imperial Garden. It is not like in spring and summer, when the flowers are most gorgeous and beautiful. At that time, the flowers in the Imperial Garden were beautiful It’s full of flowers and fragrant. It’s most beautiful!”

Qinrou didn't look back, and she didn't know how much of Cangzi's introduction she had listened to. She didn't come here to enjoy the scenery, so she didn't even look back. She just gave the order, "Go to Qixiang Palace and show you the way."

Cang Zi reflexively wanted to persuade her. Concubine Bai had just entered the palace and she had died of a sudden illness. What bad luck was happening in that place now? It is right to stay far away. It is unlucky to go there.

Cangzi tried to persuade her: "Concubine, the white concubine in Qixiang Palace has just disappeared, and she is in bad luck? Where is the concubine going and doing something! It's bad luck. What should I do if I turn around... and bump into the concubine?" Cangzi swallowed. The word "White Concubine" came up.

People at that time were most taboo about dying young and dying at a young age. They believed that people who died in this way were filled with great resentment. This last breath of resentment could collide with those who were still in the upper world.

Especially those who died in childhood are not allowed to enter the ancestral graves, because it will ruin the family feng shui.

Qinrou doesn’t believe in ghosts and gods! The living are much scarier than the dead. All evil deeds are done by living people.

Qinrou wouldn't sneer at this. Although she would have some respect for it, she didn't really believe it. If you believe it, there is it; if you don’t believe it, there is none!
Qin Rou's face became even colder, her tone leaving no room for doubt or refutation, "Lead the way. You are not the only one who can show the way." There were still quite a few minions coming and going. Even if Qinrou asked any slave at random, they would not dare to expire.

Seeing that the concubine is determined, Cangzi is a slave after all, and she doesn't dare to refute. After all, if the master becomes stronger, the slave can only retreat.

"Yes!" Cang Zi bowed and responded.

After passing through the Imperial Garden, passing the Katsy Gate, we walked onto West Erchang Street, which is the palace road in front of Qixiang Palace. We walked straight towards Qixiang Palace.

……

The queen is already used to handling the affairs behind her concubines, so she doesn't have to put in much effort. It can be said that she is very handy. It doesn’t take much effort!
The queen was still waiting for news about Yuan Yan, and the head of the House of Internal Affairs was also waiting nearby. The queen ordered someone to move a stool for Cui Lingqin, and the queen was also looking at the regulations on Concubine Bai's death drawn up by the House of Internal Affairs.

The most important rules in the palace, concubines at all levels, monthly routines and posthumous matters all have their own set of regulations. Although the queen doesn't need to pay too much attention, she still needs to take a look.

"Master, Eunuch Li is here." Ding Ruzhong hurriedly reported back after entering the door.

Li Dequan, Eunuch Li, not only the other palaces are afraid of him, but even Kunning Palace also respects him! And his arrival usually represents the emperor's will.

Queen Hesheli also had a meal. She thought that Li Dequan came here just now because of Concubine Bai's funeral. Queen Hesheli thought about it and hurriedly told the kneeling Ding Ruzhong: "Please come in quickly."

"Hey!" Ding Ruzhong got the order and went out to welcome Li Dequan in. Cui Lingqin, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, had already been shocked when he heard the report from Ding Ruzhong, the chief eunuch of Kunning Palace, but he had already stood up quickly. .

He is the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but Li Dequan is also the general manager of the Qianqing Palace? It seems that he is not as powerful as him, but he is the emperor's confidant, and he cannot use the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do whatever he wants.

Even Ding Ruzhong himself would choose to obey the emperor's imperial edict and the empress's edict. If he dared to disobey the emperor, the emperor would take off his head with a wave of his hand.

A few words from Li Dequan might be able to save his life. Who is noble and who is inferior?

Couldn't he be more discerning? Eunuch Li is already here, but he still dares to sit down.

In just a few breaths, Ding Ruzhong had already led Li Dequan over.

"Slave, please see the Queen." Li Dequan greeted the Queen with a smile on his face.

"Eunuch Li, please rise." Queen Hesheli also knew that Li Dequan came to represent the emperor's wishes, so naturally she would not embarrass him!

At this time, if you can't get along with Li Dequan, you can't get along with the emperor. Queen Hesheli would not be so stupid as to dig her own grave.

"Hey!" Li Dequan stood up and said, "The emperor is already aware of Bai's death and has specially ordered his servants to inform the queen."
