The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 212 Ergege Disease
Qinrou would pass the time by going to the archery pavilion to ride horses or practice archery every day. The day passed like this.

A few days passed in a flash, and it was February. In the past few days, Concubine Ma Jia also went to bed after she was out of confinement.

Qinrou’s days are as always.

She still practiced riding and shooting in the archery pavilion before going back. She walked into the door of Zhenshun Zhai and saw Fushun and Cangzi waiting anxiously in front of the door.

The two of them raised their eyes, and the moment they saw the three masters and servants of Qinrou, a look of surprise came over them. Fushun and Cangzi rushed to greet her, but no matter how anxious they were, Fushun and Cangzi did not forget to salute Qinrou and said: "Concubine."

Qinrou is not without eyes. She has eyes, can see, and can see clearly. However, there are few things that can make her anxious, so she can still ask questions without panic, and her expression is still calm, and she asks: " What's wrong?"

As she spoke, Qinrou stepped into the gate of Zhenshunzhai. Fushun and Cangzi also quickly got up and followed. Fushun quickly followed Qinrou and anxiously reported back: "There is news from the West Fifth Institute. Er Gege seems to be There seems to be something wrong..."

Qinrou stopped and glanced back at Fushun. He was not impressed by Er Gege, and it was rare for her to hear news from the palace, especially since the day she entered the palace, the Queen Empress had been exempted from Ah. The brothers' morning and evening meditation. ——Until the royal heirs turn three years old.

The empress only ordered the nannies around the elder brothers to come and ask questions at any time, and from time to time, she walked around the fifth Gandong Institute and the fifth Ganxi Institute.

Qinrou remembered that in winter, the Queen got cold because of this and had to raise her for several days. Kangxi also specially went to Kunning Palace to accompany him. There was also a rumor in the palace that the empress herself was ill and missed her elder brothers. She asked the servants to serve her attentively. She was in such a state that she would not go to the five palaces of the east and west. , the Agegeges are weak, so as not to let them get sick.

The Queen's reputation as a virtuous woman is well known to everyone. Qinrou felt a little unconfident for a moment. Maybe the decline of the emperor's heirs really has nothing to do with the queen? However, Qinrou quickly put such speculations behind her mind. For her, no matter who she was in the palace, no one could be trusted.

Facing Qinrou's gaze, Fushun continued to report back: "After the Queen got the news, she hurried to the West Fifth Institute. Concubine Niu Hulu also rushed there, and the imperial doctors were also quickly taken into the West Institute. Among the five.”

Fushun quickly reviewed the current situation, thought of the omissions, and quickly added: "Concubine Dong also hurriedly took the servants to the West Fifth School."

As for the other concubines in the palace, even if they knew the news, they did not dare to rush to Xiwusuo. The two princesses were born from Concubine Dong. Mother and daughter are connected, which is a family bond. Concubine Dong's behavior is understandable.

"How long has it been?" Qinrou immediately grasped the key point. Time is a big issue. Every illness a child goes through is probably a fight with death. Time is particularly important.

"It hasn't been long yet. The Queen may not have arrived at Xiwu Institute at this moment. Is this servant planning to go out to explore?" Fushun is always paying attention to the movements of Xiwu Institute. There are not many royal heirs in the palace. Even though Er Gege is just Princess. However, Ergege's illness is also the first priority in the harem.

"Well, you should always pay attention." Qinrou ordered, "Also pay attention to the movements of other palaces." She remembered that Ergege did not often get sick on weekdays, and Qinrou had never heard of it.

During the six months she was in the palace, such a major event as Er Gege's illness could never be hidden from her!

Qinrou was not sure whether Ergege's illness was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. If it is a natural disaster, it is not impossible. Let alone children, even adults are so scared that a body is made of iron. How can there be a time when I am not sick?

And young children are inherently more sick than adults. It was not surprising that Er Gege suddenly fell ill; however, when the illness appeared in the palace, Qinrou inevitably became more thoughtful and made some unfriendly speculations. It’s a man-made disaster, it’s not unreasonable!
"Er Gege has always been in good health. I have been in the palace for so long and I have never heard that Er Gege has been ill several times." Qinrou said implicitly. Judging from this short period of half a year, Er Gege's health is not bad. Yes, as long as there is no disease or disaster, it is possible to live a safe and long life if this continues.

Therefore, Qinrou mainly wanted Fushun to pay attention to why Ergege suddenly fell ill. Is there any reason? "My servant understands." Fushun has a lot of bad intentions. It's not a bad thing to have bad intentions in the palace. If you have more bad intentions, people will be more careful.

Watching Fushun go out, Aunt Chen also looked at Fushun's back, and then moved her eyes to the concubine, and said: "I have also heard that the imperial doctors are asking for Ping An's pulse from time to time. What? Er Gege is indeed in good health.”

Aunt Chen then said matter-of-factly: "But speaking of it, there are many young children, and illnesses come unintentionally." Therefore, it is not surprising that Er Gege would suddenly become ill.

This is also possible.

Although Aunt Chen has never married and has never given birth, she has taken care of children. Even adults, let alone children, get sick occasionally without any reason.

Therefore, in the palace, the number of royal heirs who died young due to 'sickness' was the highest, and the most difficult to choose.

It is said that among the emperor's six heirs, the eldest brother, the third brother, and the eldest brother all died of illness.

Qinrou was waiting for the news, and the concubines of each palace were also waiting for the news in their respective palaces. After a while, new news came from the palace. Kangxi's emperor also hurriedly set off from Qianqing Palace to the West Fifth Palace. .

Kangxi was not only an emperor, but also a father. Maybe when the emperor was well, he didn't need to worry too much, but once the emperor was ill, Kangxi would put aside his political affairs during his busy schedule to see and stay with the emperor who was still ill.

Qinrou was not surprised at all when she heard the news. If the emperor is really not anxious at all, he will be a father in vain.

Kangxi also went there in person, but there was no news from the West Fifth Institute, and everyone in the harem was uneasy. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, because the unknown and speculation are the most frightening.

But all the palaces are still calm. Even if the servants in the palace go out to walk around, they are cautious and don't dare to violate any taboos.

At this juncture, if Er Gege is safe in the end, it's okay; if Er Gege is good or bad, it's time for reckoning.

On this day, at this moment, at this time, the thoughts of the concubines in the palace were unanimously focused on Er Gege who was far away in the West Fifth House.

If you don't see him, all your thoughts will be focused on him.

Qin Rou pondered, her eyes slightly distracted. There were more than thirty concubines in the harem, and she didn't know how many of them would sincerely pray for their well-being.

Qinrou sat on the couch and waited quietly. She had never seen Ergege, but she had heard a few words about him. After all, her biological mother was also a concubine in the harem, so she was a familiar stranger.

Qinrou felt a little sad.
