The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 116 The Emperor’s Thoughts

The emperor took Qinrou into his arms, inevitably showing a trace of uneasiness. "You have to protect yourself and don't worry me." The emperor kissed Qinrou's eyes. Qinrou's eyelashes trembled slightly. The emperor was extremely affectionate. "I know that my Qinrou has this ability. She is no."

Qin Rou was silent, there were some open spears and some hidden arrows that could not be avoided. Qinrou mainly didn't think about such a life.

Besides, Emperor Kangxi's attitude was not quite right. Qinrou just let herself ignore it and don't think about it. This person is an emperor. He has a smile on his face, so he may not be angry.

Just like everyone in the harem, Qinrou had to consider whether every word they said was untrue. This is so tiring.

If the women in the harem are like this, the emperor will only be an expert among them.

Every word he says and everything he does may not necessarily have other meanings in it. But there must be his own meaning in it. How to interpret it is up to others to guess and speculate.

One step away and you will fall into the abyss.

"I don't know." Qinrou told the truth.

She doesn't know anything very well, and she has never been smarter than anyone else. The women in this palace are all good at fighting, killing people with borrowed knives and setting traps both openly and secretly. They drink tea like water.

She is even worse than this and has no advantage at all. She really had no confidence at all to protect herself, otherwise she wouldn't have dared to have a baby for fear of getting pregnant.

Qinrou still has stubbornness in her heart. She doesn't want to blend in here. Deep down, it's because she is afraid of being assimilated. What if one day, she becomes unrecognizable and hideous, making herself sick just looking at it?

Qinrou doesn’t want to be like that!
Since she entered the palace, she has not interacted with others. One reason is that her temperament has always been pure and she does not like to interact with others. Later she felt that this was also good because she knew that the emperor loved her, so everyone who came close to her People will have their own thoughts. So if she doesn't get close to anyone, there will be fewer plots waiting for her.

So Qinrou doesn't find it strange at all that there are people with ulterior motives who stab people in the back. While there is surprise, it is not too surprising!

"I will teach you," the emperor said. Kangxi was particularly patient and told her, "I will also protect you."

Emperor Kangxi was like a patient teacher, carefully teaching his students in class, "Today's matter, you have only been in the palace for three or four months. If you want to find out, it is either the work of an internal ghost or a foreign object. If it was done by mouth, If you enter, it must be a slave who has not served you carefully; it is useless to keep such a slave; and it is very likely that he is an internal noble. If it is a foreign object, in addition to what is presented to you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and what is in my warehouse, there are also There are gifts from the Queen, Concubine Niu Hulu, and congratulatory gifts from the concubines of the palaces."

"So, I will ask Li Dequan to inform the queen later. The queen has no fault and everything in the harem is decided by the queen. This is the law of heaven. I will ask Li Dequan to follow the whole process, and the queen will go to the Imperial Medical Office to announce that the imperial doctor will come to your palace. Check one by one, find out the source, follow the clues, and find out who is behind it." It is simple to say, but it requires mobilizing a lot of resources.

So ordinary people can't do it.

The simplest thing is to deal with the culprit.

The queen is the queen, the main palace, and the queen takes care of the affairs in the harem. This is the right thing to do. This is the inherent power of the queen in her position.

But Qinrou doesn't like to have everything about herself under the eyes of everyone in the harem.

And she wouldn't guess what the emperor's words and actions meant!

In order to live a pure life and leave privacy; even if it was a try, she wanted to give it a try.

"Your Majesty, please don't make a big deal about this matter for the time being. Let me first check whether there is a ghost or a foreign object in Zhenshun Zhai." Qinrou said tentatively.

She was also very curious about this matter!

After the results are obtained, the dirt will be handed over to the Queen for disposal. Qinrou has never thought about fighting for power, but she values ​​privacy and doesn't like to show off outside. If this time, she can find out what color and style each vase in Zhenshun Zhai is, and what the concubines in the harem are. It's all clear at a glance. Emperor Kangxi raised his head and looked at her, Qinju said: "This slave has been in the palace for three or four months. If the empress has full authority to investigate this matter, everyone in the harem will probably feel that this slave does not even have the ability to protect herself."

This is never a good thing. I'm just afraid that someone will be ready to take action again. There are enough demons and monsters staring at her, if possible, reduce them a bit.

For people in the harem, the rules of survival are almost simple and crude. Bullying good and fearing evil, the strong survive and the weak are eliminated. In fact, speaking of it, this result may not be without the laissez-faire of the superiors.

After all, the emperor's heirs who came out of the palace, whether it was Age Gege, would have to compete with the courtiers and scheming with others in the future.

Emperor Kangxi nodded, that was indeed the truth, "Then don't worry, you can investigate by yourself first." She thought, so she let her investigate first.

She always has to protect herself. The emperor knew this.

Kangxi didn't intend to let it go, and he would try if he wanted to, but the emperor would not give up just yet. He could not do it openly, but he could also do it secretly. Otherwise, his anger will never go away.

What will be done then will not be a matter of a word or a look from the emperor.

Li Dequan was surprised. The emperor was indeed considerate of Concubine Na La. Perhaps Concubine Nala's suggestion was what the emperor was waiting for.

However, Li Dequan privately believed that in addition to being liked and promoted by the emperor, the concubines in the palace also had to be able to protect themselves. There are always times when the emperor cannot see.

However, he thought that he would have to be more kind to Concubine Nala in the future.

See how much the emperor takes it to heart.

Concubine Na La was also good-tempered and easy to get along with. When there were rumors in the harem that Concubine Na La was withdrawn and difficult to get along with, Li Dequan scoffed.

These are all baseless and crazy words. No matter how good-tempered the concubine is, Li Dequan has been serving the emperor since he was a child and has been with the emperor since the time of the third elder brother.

During the years when Ao Bai was in power, Li Dequan was also at the emperor's side. A pair of eyes can see all the warmth and coldness of the world. Are they sharp? When it comes to the temperament of each concubine in the palace, he doesn't know everything about them, but he also understands them.

With Concubine Nala's temperament, if she is not easy to get along with, then there will be no one to get along with. She won't deliberately embarrass her slaves, nor will she beat or scold her. It should be said that she doesn't even bother to pay attention.

Otherwise, why would the emperor be so worried? Li Dequan also believed that it was probably because Concubine Nala felt that she could not play with other concubines, so she simply did not talk to her, which was too self-aware.

But Li Dequan would not be stupid enough to refute everyone. Concubine Na La was a good-tempered concubine. Whether it's good or not, he knows for himself.

Qinrou didn't care much about what others thought of her. She just tried to make a proposal and didn't hold out much hope, but she didn't expect Kangxi to agree so easily.

Qinrou continued: "The Emperor also wants to lend me a royal doctor or someone with medical skills." She didn't have such a talent, even if there was musk mixed in something, you couldn't tell.

Qinrou herself doesn’t understand.

Kangxi glanced at Li Dequan, who hurriedly said: "I know an Aunt Chen who is quite proficient in medicine. She is suitable for a concubine."

Just at this time, Ding Ruzhong from Kunning Palace came to report.
