Kangxi Harem Ⅰ: Green Years

Chapter 295 (24) Ke'an Dongshangrong provokes the king's anger (Part [-])
【Ke'an died on a winter snowy day, and it was hard to find joy in the harem;】

[Because of offending the king's decree because of respect, the king withdraws the honor card in a rage. 】

Ke'an died. In the heavy snow in the last month of Kangxi's 17th year, Ke'an quietly left. In the small wing of Ke'an in Zhongcui Palace, Rong'er and Duanbi sat silently, crying Keep falling down.

After a long time, Rong'er said softly, "Concubine Duan, don't be too sad, Ke'an may also be a relief, since she was born with illnesses, at least now she won't do anything wrong."

"Well...she is too weak, who would have thought that a cold would kill her, I...it's my fault, I shouldn't let her get sick." Concubine Duan murmured.

"Don't think too much, it's none of your business." Rong'er looked at the heavy snow falling outside, "This winter is too cold, many people have caught the cold, not to mention Ke'an's weak body, Life, Ke'an's life, everyone's life..." Rong'er thought of Jing Zhi... "I'm afraid Jing'er will go with her soon... Concubine Duan, why do you think this life is so light? Didn't drop..."

"Concubine Jing..." Concubine Duan hesitated for a moment, but chose not to say anything. Everyone knew that Concubine Jing's crime of infidelity had already been decided and she should be executed. Therefore, I informed her relatives that they can still enter the palace to see each other. Concubine Jing didn't have a long way to live. Thinking of this, Concubine Duan smiled bitterly and said, "Our lives are not important, right, no one cares when we die, Ke An He died, but the House of Internal Affairs hastily collapsed, and the emperor didn’t even come to visit, and Ke’an and I are not important to the emperor, I know.”

Hearing what Concubine Duan said, Rong'er lowered her head sadly, she knew that the emperor didn't like Ke'an, the emperor always believed that like a mother, like a son, so because of Zhang Leqi's matter, the emperor had a prejudice against Ke'an.The emperor pays attention to character, and it should be said that the mistake Jingfei made this time is indeed a big taboo of the emperor, Rong'er comforted softly, "Duanfei, don't think too much, there are many things in the palace recently, you know Yes, the emperor is busy, after all there will be carelessness."

"Sister Rong, don't persuade me, I know, I'm a humble person, it's already a great favor of the emperor to be able to occupy this concubine today, how could I think too much about it, I didn't complain, I just felt that Sad." Concubine Duan gently wiped the tears on her cheeks, and smiled wryly.

Walking out of the apse where the Concubine Duan of Zhongcui Palace lived, looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky, Rong'er didn't feel cold, maybe her heart was too cold, so she couldn't feel the cold on her body.He stretched out his right hand from the sleeve to catch the snowflakes, but the snowflakes fell on his hand but disappeared in an instant.Sadness turns into desolation, the people in this palace are all real, Duanbi and Ke'an are so quiet in this palace, so quiet that even if Ke'an is gone, they can't feel everyone's sadness, looking up at the snowflakes falling from the sky , Zhang Leqi, Ke'an went to find you, this poor girl, I hope she will go to heaven and there will be no more sickness and sorrow.

Rong'er returned to the palace, and Qiu'e came over, "Master, you are back? Eunuch Gu came just now, and the emperor turned over your cards at night."

"Tell me back, just say I'm not feeling well and can't go to bed." Rong'er ordered softly and quickly walked into the room. Qiu'e looked at Xiao Qing who was following Rong'er, and Xiao Qing sighed helplessly at her.

"Xiaoqing, this is the third time this month. I'm afraid the emperor will blame me." Qiu'e sighed softly, "It's good for the master to reject the emperor so frequently."

Xiaoqing shook her head helplessly, "Our master is determined to offend the emperor. Our master's temper can't be lost once in ten years, but this time when the temper comes up, he is so stubborn that no one can persuade him to come back."

"What should I do then? Shall I send my father-in-law back to the office?" Qiu'e asked Xiaoqing.

"Go ahead, what else can you do after the master orders!" Xiaoqing said helplessly, "The master is angry with the emperor, and he just pushes the emperor to others. Why doesn't the master understand this principle."

"Oh! Okay, I'll go then." Qiu'e shook her head and walked towards the door.
