Chapter 94 Kangxi decreed
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.
Qinrou didn't pay 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 about feeling 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!
The room was silent 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 brought by Cui Lingqin, 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 has 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 abdominal 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 imperial 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 there 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.
Do 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 aside, pondered for a moment, and said: "Why is it that such a young person is missing? In this way, your Internal Affairs Office will prepare it for the time being. Wan Yan, you go to the Imperial Medical Office Here, please ask an experienced and prudent imperial physician to 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 also wants it. Do your part. 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 twenty 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.
So 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.
"Step 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 it to the emperor. 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 also an Eight Banners cavalry and archer.
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, is the emperor 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 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 being admitted to the concubine. She is not worthy of being my concubine, so I will take her concubine. Name. The rest will be dealt with by the queen. "
A mere Bai family is not worthy of the emperor's attention.
Kangxi didn’t take any of the Bai family to heart. There were so many concubines in the harem. If a Bai family fell, a Li family, a Liu family, a Wang family, or another Manchu army banner would stand up. Concubine.
But he still had some impression of Bai. 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 really 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 a great chaos, and the only way to intimidate the Sixth Palace is to bring peace to the concubines in the harem."
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 Nala in Chengqian Palace needs to be mentioned higher. 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 confident in you. The concubines in the harem are all my concubines. I have my preferences and cannot tolerate the dissatisfaction of 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 his horse, and Concubine Niu Hulu watched the emperor's figure go away, and then followed.
