The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Qinrou drank the medicine, and the medicine given by the queen in the evening was no longer with her.

She doesn't mind drinking another bowl, it's medicine! There is a high probability that drinking it won’t kill anyone. If there are any adverse reactions after taking two bowls of medicine, then that’s it!
But the queen has always been careful, and it should be said that she is more attentive to the concubines whom the emperor favors. It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Moreover, Li Dequan also sent the dirty things found in Zhenshun Zhai to Kunning Palace. At that time, the queen's face suddenly turned into a forced smile. The reason is none other than charcoal fire.

With this charcoal fire, the possibility of being tampered with after entering Zhenshun Zhai is almost non-existent; in other words, it is almost as if it has been secretly manipulated before entering Zhenshun Zhai.

The queen looked stern. As a queen, she could only take on this responsibility. She could only smile and say to Eunuch Li: "Please tell Eunuch Li to tell the emperor that I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

The queen is in charge of the affairs in the harem, and the queen is in control of the House of Internal Affairs. Now there may even be such a big mistake in the harem or the House of Internal Affairs. It would be fine if it didn't come out, and it would pass quietly, but now that it has come out, she, as a queen, is incompetent.

"There is still Nala, the concubine. Is there any harm?" the queen asked and asked with concern. "What did Dr. Wang say? Did he give a plan for recuperation?"

"Concubine Na La's body has been affected. The emperor has ordered Dr. Wang to prescribe a prescription and take some medicine. She will drink it for a while and wait for the follow-up results." Li Dequan was the most sensible person and looked at everything. I said it, but not much was actually revealed.

But it reveals one meaning: Concubine Nala must have been affected, but the extent and extent of the influence are kept secret.

The queen frowned and swallowed her words. There were some things that she could only talk to the emperor about, but nothing could be gained from Li Dequan. The queen said: "Concubine Nala has been greatly wronged."

Who says it's not? Li Dequan said. How could you not feel aggrieved? Heirs in the harem are so important, and others can’t find one despite all their efforts and begging gods and Buddhas. The opportunity is clearly right in front of them, so close that they can grab it immediately. However, with such a commotion, the emperor’s heir has no idea when it will take him. Yes.

But this is the palace people. You plot against me, and I plot against you; which emperor's heir has not experienced countless difficulties before arriving?
Concubine Nala was relatively well, and he had discovered it early. He looked at it, and the emperor would not let go of Concubine Nala in a short while. Maybe she had recovered her health and could get pregnant as soon as possible. one.

But Li Dequan can't just follow the Queen's words! So Li Dequan could only laugh along with him and said: "It seems to me that Concubine Na La is not that aggrieved. Don't you and the Emperor make the decision for her? Your Majesty ordered Dr. Wang to replace Concubine Na La." The concubine is being nursed back to health, and you will take care of her clearly, so where can you feel wronged?"

Li Dequan has been in the palace for many years, so he understands that the real grievance is: he is full of grievances and has nowhere to say it!
No one wants to listen. No one wants to hear it. No one cares.

The queen smiled. The moment Li Dequan's words came out, the queen understood the meaning of the emperor's words. He wanted her to tie this matter to Bo Heli's torture of the palace slaves and investigate. The matter was big enough. There was so much movement inside.

Although this matter may be big or small, it is neither too big nor too small. But since the emperor means: big investigation, the queen will only understand it. This is the tacit understanding between the emperor and the queen.

The Queen Ling Lie said: "I also want to see which god and Buddha is in this harem, with hands and eyes reaching to the sky, reaching into the House of Internal Affairs. Musk is not a contraceptive for pregnancy. If you are pregnant, you will have a miscarriage. If during this period, the concubine Na La is pregnant She is pregnant with the emperor's heir..." The queen did not continue. No one needed to mention the consequences of this, and everyone knew about it. "I would like to see which Tathagata Buddha is causing such trouble in the palace. Rain kills concubines and maims the emperor’s heirs.”

Since a strict investigation was required, the queen would only take it seriously. Since one wave has not calmed down yet another has arisen, and the emperor also intends to cause a big disturbance in the palace, the queen will only do what the emperor wants.

……

"Charcoal fire." Li Dequan dug out the stolen goods and personally delivered them to Kunning Palace and handed them over to the queen of the main palace before returning to Qianqing Palace to resume his life.

He didn't know that during this period, the emperor had already been unhappy. Qinrou was surprised when she heard this.

"Yes," Li Dequan reported back: "My servant and Dr. Wang have checked them one by one, and everything else is fine. Only when the charcoal fire burns, the musky smell comes out. My servant and Dr. Wang speculated that, The concubine used to be hurt by musk, and it was all because of the charcoal fire." However, the charcoal fire in the past has been burned to ashes, and if I want to check again now, I can't find it out.

When Li Dequan took over, he speculated that it was also a common thing, but the concubines in the harem who were most easily manipulated and ignored were undoubtedly powder. Or other inconspicuous but commonly used things, but I didn't expect it to be charcoal fire in the end.

"My servant has sent all the charcoal fires in Zhenshun Zhai to Kunning Palace." These are stolen goods, so naturally they have to be sent to the queen, so that there is a basis for investigation.

"This is too incredible." Qinrou murmured. Even Qinrou couldn't help but want to praise, "I don't know who thought of this method. It's so clever." There is no need to destroy the evidence by yourself. , as the charcoal fire burned out, all the evidence was in vain.

How could an ordinary person come up with such a way to harm others? Qinrou sighed.

"I have heard that some people would start with the roof of a medicine house, but I never thought that someone would start with charcoal fire." Qinrou couldn't help but sigh with Kangxi. What great wisdom is this?

Li Dequan:……. Concubine Nala's reaction was also one of surprise. She was not angry at all, and admired people's cleverness. Li Dequan looked at it, and the emperor's face turned dark.

"Okay, very good!" Kangxi also laughed angrily, "In my palace, there are really crouching tigers, hidden dragons, and talented people!"

This is true. Listen to the opposite. Listen to the opposite. It sounds weird, but it's not a good thing to say. Qinrou was silent, it was better not to make the emperor angry at this time.

The queen is very busy. Qinrou is clear.

Even if the queen is not busy, she will still act like she is busy.

Qinrou also agreed with Kangxi's words. Sure enough, there are many heroes in the world, and there are talents everywhere.

Even in the rich and powerful families, slaves are considered despicable, but they are not at all thoughtful. There are many masters who are stupid and weak and are manipulated by their slaves. The carpentry emperor Zhu Youxiao was the leader and topped the list.

Li Dequan looked at it, and the emperor and empress reacted unanimously! How else to put it, the Queen is the 'Queen'? Others are not so clever! Whatever the emperor has in mind, is what he has in mind.

"Li Dequan, you also cooperate with the queen to find out the person for me. I also want to see who is the master who is causing trouble in my Forbidden City." Kangxi said solemnly.

"Hey! I obey the order." Li Dequan replied seriously.
