The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 97 Seeing the body of Concubine Bai
As soon as Li Dequan left, the smile in the queen's eyes faded. Cui Lingqin, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was still here. The queen lowered her eyelids and said without changing her expression: "Cui Lingqin, you heard me too. I and the emperor are here. A meaning."

"Mr. Bai has a vicious mind and is really a snake-hearted person. She is not worthy of being in the imperial concubine's mausoleum, nor is she worthy of being the emperor's concubine. After the imperial doctor has gone to look at it, he is looking for a thin coffin. You, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, should take some time to pull it out of the palace and find one." Dig a hole in the ground and bury her! Just don't let her body be exposed in the wilderness."

The queen knew what she wanted. She wanted to have a good reputation and be a good queen, but she would never openly disobey Kangxi's wishes.

if not? Kangxi was a tyrant, and she was a virtuous queen; she rose to power based on the emperor's reputation. How could she, a queen, be liked by Kangxi?

A queen who is not pleased by the emperor is not far away from being deposed and dying.

Therefore, the queen would rather not take advantage of the reputation gained by the emperor.

As the chief manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Cui Lingqin also understood the consequences of disobeying the emperor. Cui Lingqin can do this very well without the Queen's instructions.

Cui Lingqin bowed and said: "Queen, don't worry, slave, I will do everything beautifully." Cui Lingqin knew what to do.

The queen also understood this. She conveyed her meaning, then glanced at Cui Lingqin and said, "Go and prepare!"

It is self-evident what Cui Lingqin should prepare. There was no need for the queen to say anything, Cui Lingqin also understood this, "I resign."

Not long after Li Dequan left the gate of Kunning Palace, Cui Lingqin also walked out of the gate of Kunning Palace.

The Queen lowered her eyes, and there was silence in Kunning Palace. No one knew what the Queen was thinking!
On the other side, Qin Rou had already arrived in front of the gate of Qixiang Palace. Cangzi's face was anxious and she begged repeatedly: "Concubine, let's go back! There is nothing good to see in Qixiang Palace. If you want Come on, just come back later."

Qinrou responded by stepping back decisively and stepping into the gate. The plaque of Qixiang Gate was left behind. There were many slaves in Qixiang Palace.

From the palace road outside Qixiang Palace to the east side hall of the back hall of Qixiang Palace, every slave had panic on their faces, and they all went their own way.

Qin Rou walked on smooth ground, walking straight past one slave after another.

The servants were all rough-and-tumble servants, and they basically lived in the Sixth Palace of the West. No one had ever seen Qinrou, and they could only tell which concubine she was from her clothes and jewelry.

But she must not be the concubine of Qixiang Palace. The servants of Qixiang Palace knew, but also knew, that this concubine was favored, and it could be seen in her clothes and demeanor.

The servants may not know what the concubine is doing in Qixiang Palace, but they all have their own life-saving rules, that is, they don't pay attention, they just salute respectfully and say hello, and they just ignore the concubine.

Qinrou walked all the way to the west side hall of the apse of Qixiang Palace. There was another concubine living in the east side hall of the apse, but she stayed in her room the whole time.

If it was not impossible, she would even think of driving Concubine Bai out of Qixiang Palace! With a person like her, everyone first thought of the unknown reason why Qixiang Palace trapped a concubine who made a big mistake.

It has a really bad reputation. People at that time were feudal and superstitious.

Bai Shi died, but she breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to die! After death, others will gradually forget about the imprisonment of a sinner and concubine in Qixiang Palace.

Debts are wiped out after death. Although this is not the truth, it is almost the same! Qinrou glanced over, and Cangzi stopped a palace maid who came out with a basin. He was no longer struggling at this moment, and had already stepped into Qixiang Palace. He only had one last step to step into the west hall of the back hall of Qinrou Palace. It would be strange for the concubine and concubine to change her mind.

Since there was no result, Cangzi of course had to rush to do things. Didn't the concubine come to see the dead concubine Bai? Then take a look! If you finish reading earlier, you can leave earlier so as not to spend too much time in Qixiang Palace.

Cangzi served Qinrou while asking the palace maid who came out with a basin. Cangzi's tone was polite, but he understood that the slave who was stopped would definitely tell the truth, "We, the concubine, came to visit Concubine Bai. I don't know." Where is the body of Concubine Bai?"

This is indeed the case. The palace maid who was stopped first bowed and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the concubine. Concubine Bai's body is temporarily placed in the westernmost room." The palace maid did not put down the basin she was holding. Then he said: "If the concubine does not dislike me, I am willing to lead the way with the concubine."

Hearing this, Qinrou glanced at the serving maid. Each palace had a certain number of servants, but whenever there was a concubine's death or other matters, the House of Internal Affairs would dispatch a group of rough servants to do the work.

After the matter is over, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will arrange for the slaves to go back!
Most of those who can be transferred are rough servants.

Qinrou didn't know what she had in mind, and no matter what she had in mind, she looked like she had a lively mind, so she didn't refuse. Anyway, it was just a small thing, so she said calmly: "Lead the way."

"Concubine, please come with me." Qin Rou agreed, and the palace maid also smiled, without putting down the basin in her hand, and then looked at the way. Judo with Qin.

As for Aoi, he didn't think he could remember even a small section of the road. But the master has no objections and agrees, so Cangzi will not refute. This is the duty of a slave.

The West Wing Palace remained the same as before, except that the servants walking in the Qixiang Palace moved around more. From the outside, the Qixiang Palace remained the same as before. There were no mourning filial piety in the palace, and no mourning by the servants.

It didn't look like he was newly bereaved.

When I walked into the west side hall, I saw Guabai. And the only one who was hanging white in the palace was a servant who served Concubine Bai personally.

The rest of the slaves were busy with their own business.

Qinrou entered the door, and there was a square table. Concubine Bai's body was placed aside, but on a few pieces of peeling redwood board, her face was thin and bloodless, and her clothes looked extremely ill-fitting. It was much larger and hung empty from her body.

It was clear that this palace attire was made according to her figure when the Empress ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do it for her when she first entered the palace!
But it can still be seen that this is just a woman of fifteen, sixteen or seventeen years old, even if she has closed her eyes permanently.

Chushu was acquainted with Concubine Hadana. She stayed with Concubine Bai, sleeping in the morning and dusk every day. Even though Qinrou might not recognize her, she was the first among these concubines and the most important person in the palace. Proud people, how could they not know this?
Chu Shu didn't understand why this concubine came here, and she was a little flustered.

Even if a concubine from another palace comes, she will not be so flustered, because looking at her for no reason is humiliating. Concubine Bai is already dead, and she will not have a good future. If a concubine from another palace comes, She might even feel a little disappointed.

But the person who came was Concubine Hadana. Concubine Hadana had a grudge against Concubine Bai. Since Concubine Bai died, she was the only one who could vent her anger.

Chushu quickly saluted and said, "I have seen Concubine Nala."
