Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Concubine Tong turned around abruptly, and saw Xuan Ye coming in, followed by Wu Yashi with an inexplicable face, it was just a matter of entering and exiting, it was impossible for them not to see the nobleman who ran out, she was about to open her mouth to explain that Lan Qi had already Running to the cradle, seeing the silk scarf next to it, seeing his son's face turning blue from holding back, he stared at the imperial concubine in astonishment: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

The imperial concubine's heart was beating wildly, and the gemstones on the hairpin were jingling, she shook her head and waved her hands and said, "No, it's not me!"

"What's wrong……"

Xuan Ye was about to come up, when the cradle suddenly shook, the three of them panicked, seeing the flower stand behind the cradle fall down, Lan Qi didn't have time to rush over, and saw Concubine Tong standing sideways on the cradle, the flower stand Falling to the ground next to the cradle, a huge pot of Chlorophytum hit her back, and her frail body couldn't bear it and fell to the ground.

While the house was still shaking, the eunuchs and guards outside had already rushed in, Xuan Ye strode up to pick up Yinzhen from the cradle, and several guards rushed over to set up the noble concubine and the virtuous man, and the group of people quickly hid in the open space outside, after the vibration subsided a little , Xuan Ye stuffed the child to Lan Qi, and immediately led people to the front garden.

This side of the garden was empty, the empress dowager was surrounded and stood in the center of the open space, and the concubines, wives, elder brothers and princesses all scattered around in groups, a few tiles fell from the eaves, and the crackling sound made people's hearts tremble.

After a while of slowing down, I saw Xuan Ye coming from behind with his guards, and asked the emperor's grandmother how he was, but the empress dowager said: "We are shaking here like this, I don't know where there is a disaster outside, you have to go back to the palace quickly, we It’s not too late to go back here after a few days.”

"Grandma..."

"Hurry up, the people affected by the disaster are still counting on you and the court." The empress dowager turned around and called Fuquan calmly, "Send the emperor back to the palace, I'm afraid it will be shaken in the next few days, and there is still time on the way to the palace. Be sure to protect the emperor well."

Fuquan took the order and came to discuss with Xuan Ye. The emperor didn't dare to hesitate any longer. Seeing that there were reliable people here, he left Manager Li to support him. He hurried away with his elder brother and returned to Beijing.

As soon as the emperor left, all the concubines and women's family members also had to disperse, and first surrounded the empress dowager to a safe place. The old man suddenly woke up and asked the left and right: "Where is the fourth elder brother?"

Madam Su Mala actually waited until the emperor came, leaving the master to lead a few eunuchs to look for it later. When the empress dowager asked, she had already come with the baby in her arms, and the great-great-grandmother hugged it, and called the concubines: "All of you bring your children with me, don't spread out these few days." Then he called the prince to his side to bring him close to him, so that he could feel at ease.

In this way, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong led Elder Princess to stay with the Empress Dowager, Concubine Wen was supported by the palace maid and walked forward, looked and looked into the crowd, but did not see Concubine Gui and Wu Yashi.

The back here is not as good as the one in the front yard, a house was downturned, and a beam was crooked in the house where the fourth elder brother was. After Su Mala came, Lan Qi handed Yinzhen to her, and let Huanchun follow Going, she followed the maid of the guards to carry the imperial concubine away, she saw with her own eyes that the imperial concubine was smashed on the vest by a flower pot in order to protect Yinzhen, the shock in her heart had already offset the fear of seeing her beside the cradle when entering the room.

She and Xuanye also saw a woman running out in a panic. When she came from the other end, she saw Qinglian and the others outside, and when she broke in again, she saw that scene. The shock at that time was indeed indescribable, but thinking about it now She vehemently denied what she said, and she believed it.

At the moment of danger, my own mother has not had time to stand in front of the child.

In the flower hall in the open space, the imperial concubine was placed on the couch, and the accompanying imperial doctor rushed over. After the injury examination and treatment, he said that although the imperial concubine was not seriously injured, her ribs and spine were not broken, and she would recover within a few days Okay, it's just that it's bound to be painful if you hurt your muscles and bones. I'm afraid it's inconvenient to move your body these days.

"My lord, the emperor and Prince Yu are returning to the palace immediately. The empress dowager and all the empresses and masters are afraid that they will leave in the next few days." From the front came the maid beside the empress dowager, who wanted to see the situation here and go back to reply. Hearing the imperial physician say this, he asked, "Is the imperial concubine unable to move?"

The noble concubine was lying on the bed, still conscious, but her back was so painful that she broke out in a cold sweat. Hearing the court lady and the doctor say this, she felt very uncomfortable, and said with a snort, "You can just go to serve the empress dowager, and Yuquan Mountain will not It will collapse, I will stay here for a few more days before leaving."

Lan Qi didn't care about her, and just told the maid: "Go and answer first, and say that the imperial concubine's injury needs to be healed, and what will the Empress Dowager have, I'll be there later, so naturally I have something to say."

The palace lady took the order and left in a hurry, not long after she left, there was another shaking, everyone in Lan Qi was fine, but the injured imperial concubine couldn't bear the shaking, the pain made her gasp and pale.

"Niang Niang... Would you like to drink some drug and sleep?" Lan Qi said in a panic, "I probably fall asleep, and it won't hurt so much." The concubine kowtowed on behalf of the fourth elder brother to thank the mother for saving her life."

The noble concubine turned her head, with a pale and bloodless face, she sneered, "Xie Bengong? Didn't you and the emperor think that I was going to suffocate fourth elder brother to death?"

Lan Qi shook her head, but she said "no" a few times without any confidence. At that moment, she really thought so.

"How is fourth elder brother?" The imperial concubine asked again, "Is he injured? Has he recovered?"

The mother couldn't stand such words, Lan Qi couldn't help crying, she shook her head and said, "Si elder brother is fine, he has recovered, and has been taken away by the empress dowager."

In the noble concubine's haughty eyebrows, there was a bit of joy in Rourou, and she lay down softly, probably because of the pain so that her consciousness was blurred, she just murmured softly: "It's fine."

Lan Qi stood by her side, and there would be tremors from time to time afterwards, people were panicked, and when it was getting late, the empress dowager in front sent someone again to let the nobleman pass.

Lan Qi was about to leave when there was a sudden commotion in the east side of the backyard. She frowned and waited for a while, and sure enough a guard came over to complain, and kneeled down, she said, "Master Virtue, there's a wall down there, and a dug out under the wall The person who was crushed to death was recognized by a young eunuch as the noble Nala in the palace."

"That la nobleman?" Lan Qi was startled into a cold sweat, and she came over with the hand of the green bead and purple jade beside her. Hiding behind Lan Qi and shivering, "Master, it's the nobleman Nala..."

Lan Qi didn't dare to look, she took a few steps back, her heart was pounding, but she looked familiar, and then looked at the corpse with courage, the clothes on Lashi's body were the same as the woman she and Xuan Ye saw?

Was she in Yinzhen's room just now?

The fourth elder brother is surrounded by nanny and nanny on weekdays. Today, she kindly asked them to go to the front to watch the play, saying that she would take care of the children. When she heard that Xuan Ye was coming, she would welcome them out. The maids inside might also be there for a while. There is no proof that she ran away for fun, or was driven away by Nalashi, but she almost caused a catastrophe for herself just by turning around.

Thinking of this, thinking of seeing her son's face turning blue just now, Lan Qi's legs gave way and she fell, Ziyu and Luzhu supported her tightly, and she came to the Empress Dowager only after she regained her composure.

And talking about Yinzhen being almost suffocated to death, talking about the nobleman Nala being crushed to death, and being hit by an earthquake, one after another, the frightened Lan Qi finally couldn't help but be in Su Mala's mother. Weeping in my arms.

The empress dowager scolded her coldly: "I've lost my mind and left my son alone. I blamed me for being negligent when I came here. After all, you are still young and inexperienced. You, you, go back to the Great Buddha Hall and give me a lesson." I knelt down for a few hours, thinking about what you have done."

Lan Qi seemed to feel better after being scolded a few times. Outside, Concubine Hui and Concubine Rong were leading Elder Princess, and it was inconvenient for the Empress Dowager to reprimand her too much. After she calmed down, Lan Qi asked: "Listen to the palace maid You are going back to the palace now, there will be aftershocks after the guards said, I'm afraid it will be unsafe on the way."

The Empress Dowager said heavily: "It's uneasy on the road, but I'm here, you and the children are here, Xuan Ye is definitely not at ease. He still has to deal with disaster relief everywhere, without you and me by his side, how can he That's good. Going back earlier, he feels at ease, but the road will be harder and harder for us."

"The imperial concubine is seriously injured, I'm afraid I can't move." Lan Qi said timidly, "The imperial concubine herself said that she would stay here for a few days before leaving."

"It's her fault this time." The Empress Dowager sighed, and after discussing with Madam Su Mala, she decided to take Concubine Hui, Concubine Rong and others who had elder princesses under her knees back to the imperial city first, and the rest would stay in the imperial city first. I promised to stay here and wait for the imperial concubine to recover from her injuries. The most important thing is to send the prince and elder princess back, and take half of the people with me, so that the road will be easier.

Of course, Lan Qi also accompanied her. Although she was grateful to the imperial concubine, she would not leave the children and the empress dowager alone. She decided to leave early tomorrow morning. At night, Lan Qi arranged for the empress dowager to rest, and then looked back at the imperial concubine. Already awake, Qinglian is feeding him a few mouthfuls of porridge.

Lan Qi stood aside and said the queen mother's decision, the noble concubine just smiled disdainfully: "I have Qinglian by my side, what do you want them to serve, you can hide by yourself, there is no need." Thinking of something again, she asked, "Qinglian said, Nala was crushed to death?"

"A wall on the east side fell down, probably where the nobleman was hiding, and he was..." Lan Qi lowered her eyes, paused, then knelt down, "The concubine and the emperor saw a person running out of the fourth elder brother's house, The concubine recognizes the clothes on her body, it must be the noble Nala, and it must be her who blocked the mouth and nose of the fourth elder brother. Madam, the concubine was frightened at that time, and did not..."

"Okay." The noble concubine interrupted her impatiently, glanced at her and said, "Just go back and explain clearly to the emperor, don't pour a basin of dirty water on Ben Gong."

Lan Qi didn't dare to say anything more, and when she got up, she heard the imperial concubine muttering softly, "It deserves it!" She thought, she must be cursing Nala, and whether the child is suffocated to death, maybe it's a matter of front and back, Yinzhen Fu Big fate, slow down this breath.

From the beginning to the end of this incident, it was all the credit of the noble concubine. As a mother-in-law, she thoughtlessly pushed the child to the brink of danger. The empress dowager scolded her for being confused, and everything was right.

When she left the imperial concubine's place and went back to the empress dowager, she met Concubine Wen who was wandering outside without sleeping on the way. She was very restless and didn't want to strike up a conversation, but Concubine Wen came up to her and said, "Did you dispose of the noble lady's body?"

"Wait for the instructions from the two palaces." Lan Qi responded, and didn't mention anything about running to suffocate Yinzhen, but Concubine Wen said quietly, "Everyone is watching the show in front, what is this woman doing in the back, listen It is said that the place where she was dug out is near the fourth elder brother's house?"

Lan Qi was stunned, and said perfunctorily, Concubine Wen continued: "She stabbed you before, she was crazy, how could she be brought out? I don't even say that there are too many people coming out this time, so I'm negligent, whoever comes and who doesn't come It's been arranged early in the morning, except for Yipin who won't come suddenly."

"My concubine doesn't understand what your empress says." Lan Qi frowned, saying this on her lips, but her heart cooled down a little bit, as if she realized something.

Concubine Wen said thoughtfully: "Concubine Yi has been very active recently, you should pay attention." She smiled again, "Don't blame me for being troublesome, although I don't care about Ah Ling anymore, but he is still in the palace. Put eyeliner on me, and you know that since my sister's time, there has been one in this palace."

Lan Qi's heart trembled, Concubine Wen was really neither yin nor yang, such words made her back unconsciously shiver, but Concubine Wen patted her as if nothing happened, and said: "I heard that the room in the fourth elder brother's house The beam is also crooked, there is no danger, there will be blessings if you survive a catastrophe, so you can relax."

Concubine Wen walked away after saying all this, obviously deliberately waiting for her in the middle of the road, the green bead and purple jade from far away just now came over and asked what was the matter, Lan Qi just sighed: "It's nothing, Concubine Wen is also afraid, she can't sleep at night .”

That night, Lan Qi and Madam Su Mala guarded the empress dowager, the prince and the fourth elder brother, and concubine Hui and concubine Rong outside also guarded the queen mother and several elder princesses all night. It was too big, but it began to rain heavily in the middle of the night, and it didn't stop the next morning.

Everyone persuaded the Empress Dowager not to set off, but the old man insisted on returning to the palace, and the group set off against the heavy rain. Fortunately, God blessed them. Although the journey was difficult, they finally returned to the Forbidden City safely.

It's just a toss like this, the Empress Dowager's body will definitely not be able to bear it, but the earthquake has severely affected Xuan Ye's busy relief work, the Empress Dowager's illness has not been reported to the harem, but the old man's illness is not serious, Xuanye had no choice but to send Yinzhen to elder brother's office at Lan Qi's request.

More than ten days later, the earthquake finally eased, and the affected areas in the suburbs of Gyeonggi Province received relief one after another. All the concubines who stayed in Yuquan Mountain also returned to the palace.

For the sake of the country, there will be no Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the palace this autumn. Xuan Ye decided to lead the princes and ministers to pay homage at the Temple of Heaven, issue relief relief orders, and order the disaster-stricken houses to be shaken, all of which will be repaired by the government.

A catastrophe under the emperor's chariot in Gyeonggi has been tossed and tossed for several times. After gradually subsiding, it has entered late autumn, and the empress dowager's phoenix body has finally recovered. Weeping in front of him, he never listened to Mr. Li's report, so he couldn't help worrying, but he heard his grandmother say: "You are a virtuous man, you want to send your own son to Chengqian Palace to raise."
