The Concubine of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 330 Kindness, Kindness, and Laughter
We are in a hurry and have to spend most of our time, but in the end, there are only a few words!

Walking into the bedroom, the only people that caught my attention were those few people. Looking towards the bed first, the Empress and Consort Niuhulu were both sitting solemnly at a round table not far from the bed, standing on either side.

The two imperial doctors were kneeling down to feel the pulse of Concubine Bila. Concubine Bila seemed to have just woken up from the pain, sweating profusely and looking painful. Helpless and pitiful!
The world is the same, and when everyone is sick, they are all helpless and pitiful. I think the only thing that can truly treat everyone equally is the disease! No matter whether they are high-ranking officials or poor people, whoever is entangled by the disease will be in the same pitiful and miserable state.

After entering the palace together, the concubines, before they had time to care about the main concubine, Bila, took the lead in paying respects, their eyes not moving, their manners calm, "Her Majesty the Queen, Her Majesty Concubine Niuhulu."

The queen turned around and glanced at the concubines. She didn't see all of them clearly, but that didn't stop her from relieving her fatigue. She said tiredly, "You're here, get up!"

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, and Concubine Nianhulu." Although they were curious about what happened to Concubine Bila, they all knew the rules and knew their limits, so they would not speak in a hurry or without any sense of propriety.

It doesn't matter if you are knowledgeable or just want to be liked; the most important thing is to avoid getting into trouble.

After thanking her, she stood up. There was no need to be tense at this time. Concubine Li glanced at Concubine Bila, who was sweating all over and had a painful expression. The two imperial doctors were instructing, and the servants were busy, wiping sweat, carrying hot water...

No one is idle.

"We have been rushing here, but we are still late," Concubine Ma Jia looked worried and anxious, but she still calmed down and bowed to apologize, "Please forgive me, Queen."

Concubine Ma Jia understood the rules of the palace the best. When the masters wanted to get angry, it was a crime. With a simple apology and a greeting, Concubine Ma Jia always put down her status.

Besides, the queen would not really punish them without any reason.

If a few nice words can earn you the impression that you are sensible, why not do it!
The queen waved her hand and ignored them, "You all walked here on your own, so it's inevitable that you walked slowly."

The concubines were of low status, but they were not completely slaves. After all, they were masters, and they were served by slaves. They could also be considered as delicate and precious, especially those who were confident.

They had to walk everywhere, but it was common for them to walk slowly.

"Yes." Concubine Ma Jia bowed her head and replied, then stood up. She was just going through the motions, since this was inevitable. After she stood up, Concubine Ma Jia spoke with concern:

"We are late. I wonder how sister Bila is doing?" Concubine Ma Jia asked with concern. In front of their masters, they were naturally happy to show sisterly harmony.

But I am really concerned about the sisters in the harem. They are both acquaintances and somewhat subtle and unspeakable rivals in love. Although they are rivals who have been completely eliminated, I also want to find out the secrets!
There is no one without curiosity.

Especially since they are opponents and enemies!

Upon hearing this, the Queen glanced at Concubine Bila lying on the bed, her face full of regret, and she sighed, "The Imperial Physician said that when Bila had a miscarriage, her body had not recovered, and she had been bleeding. Unfortunately, she fell and injured her uterus, which is seriously damaged! From now on,..." The Queen paused, and then said something unfinished, "I'm afraid she won't be able to have children anymore."

The Queen couldn't say she felt sorry, after all, she was useless! The Emperor didn't like her in the first place, and now that her uterus had been hurt, she was even more of a waste!
When this was said, everyone was shocked. They had all thought it would be serious, but they had never thought it would be this serious. If this was the result, why did it have to be this bad? Killing people is not the right thing to do.

It would be better if she fell and died directly, and had no hope of having children. Although few concubines in the harem had children, none of them were declared infertile by the imperial physician. They were just not favored by the emperor, so they could not give birth to royal heirs.

But being unable to give birth to offspring is a fate worse than death for both women and concubines.

"How could this be?" Concubine Ma Jia murmured. They all knew too well the importance of the heir to the harem.

Take for example the concubines in the late emperor’s harem, among those who had no children, how many of them are living well now?

Although they had rarely met the concubines of the previous emperor, they were in the same palace and any words they heard would inevitably reach their ears.

The Queen didn't reply!
"Now that things have come to this, I can only order the imperial doctors to do their best to treat her." The queen said tiredly. She seemed to be unable to understand why this happened, so she had to turn around and ask the concubines, "How could Concubine Bila fall?"

The Queen understood everything she should understand and knew everything she should know, but she still had to go through the motions and ask the concubines.

Everyone said that the queen was kind and benevolent, but that was just a sneering remark. Kindness cannot control an army. If the queen lacked the means to kill, even if the emperor and the grand empress dowager were to support her, she would not be able to control the power of the six palaces.

Look! It's exposed. Concubine Bila was still lying on the sickbed, unconscious, and the queen had already begun to investigate the cause and effect.

On this point, Concubine Nianhulu and the Queen agreed that kindness was necessary, but one should not be so kind as to ignore the laws and regulations of the six palaces. The "truth" must be found out.

Concubine Niuhulu never hesitates to admit the Queen's strengths and find her weaknesses. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be tired of fighting! Face the Queen as your opponent and defeat her! This has always been Concubine Niuhulu's toughness.

Concubine Niuhulu also turned around and looked at the concubines, and reminded them lightly, "I remember that when I left, you were all together. It's only a short distance to Kunning Gate, you won't be separated!"

This is to make the concubines think clearly before speaking. There will always be no one to say anything, or in public, who will be framed? Who will be framed?
Concubine Niuhulu would never allow this. One of the purposes of her existence was to maintain the "cleanliness" of the harem, for example, the emperor's relatively favorite concubine!
Lying! There is a price to pay. The concubines all received this signal. In fact, they were already clear about this the moment Yuanyan ordered the servants to carry Concubine Bila away.

So although not everyone is necessarily very smart, they have also made several mental sketches on the way here. Now it depends on who will come out first?

Everyone was thinking about it.

The Queen was naturally not happy when Concubine Niuhulu suddenly said this. However, Concubine Niuhulu was not unable to interrupt. The Queen's face was gloomy, and the Queen's authority was even greater.

The Queen was not happy and ignored Concubine Niuhulu.

Chen Chen asked, "When Bila fell, who was closest to her?"

The Queen had her own logic and methods to find out the truth. She called out the name first and asked the question.
