Biography of Concubine De of Emperor Kangxi

Having lost too many children, facing the premature death of a child, Xuan Ye had a thick layer of armor-like scabs in his heart, which could make him no longer feel sad easily, but everything in front of him shattered the armor that protected his heart. The sharp pain that seemed to be tearing at the heart was so painful that Xuan Ye couldn't control himself.

But Huan Chun's cry woke him up suddenly, the emperor calmed down, before he could go to Lan Qi, he came to Huan Chun first, and said with serious eyes: "Don't cry."

Huan Chun was startled, covered her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, then Xuan Ye returned to Lan Qi's side, the person on the bed didn't cry loudly, but the tears couldn't stop, she was trembling all over, twitching more and more Xuan Ye felt a tearing pain in his heart.

Holding her in his arms together with the child, Xuan Ye kissed Lan Qi on the cheek, and whispered in her ear: "She is our daughter, she has not experienced the sufferings of the world, and is the happiest child in the world. Lan Qi, you are also the most blessed child in the world. The best mother, we will still have children, and we will have daughters, I promise you, our daughters, I will never let her marry and marry far away, and let them be by your side forever."

Lan Qi fell weakly on Xuan Ye's shoulder, crying loudly: "The nurse said, the princess wants to live, she has been working very hard to live... Your Majesty, our daughter is so pitiful, it's my fault, it's my fault Take care of her."

"Don't blame yourself, my daughter will be sad. She survived so hard just to see you and me, didn't she?" Xuan Ye had tears in his eyes, and his voice was choked up, "My daughter is so brave in facing life and death. , and live well.”

Lan Qi burst into tears, but Xuan Ye stretched out his hand to cover her mouth lightly, obviously he was also crying, but he said calmly and seriously: "Don't cry, don't let people outside hear you crying. I... I beg you thing."

The woman in extreme grief suddenly saw the seriousness in the man's tearful face, and the emperor's "begging" was so abnormal, she was stunned for a while, but she heard Xuan Ye said: "I will report the matter of my daughter's death in a few days. Right now the imperial court has the most important thing. I don't want the matter of Concubine De's death to be talked about by them. They just need to remember that Concubine De gave birth to a princess for me. Lan Qi, I know this sentence is false It's hypocritical, but I'm really sincere, if you don't agree, I won't embarrass you."

Lan Qi stared blankly at Xuan Ye, she didn't seem to understand the emperor's words, Xuan Ye then explained: "I will let people bury the child secretly, it's just about etiquette, it will take some days, and I will not treat us badly My daughter, I have to wrong you for a couple of months."

After a moment of silence in the room, Lan Qi finally spoke: "If the emperor thinks it is appropriate, the concubine has no objection."

Such an answer sounds emotionless, but Xuanye has already prepared for it in his heart, how can he ask someone to agree to you cheerfully, and Lan Qi's temperament will never show disappointment on her face, Xuan Ye knew that he had treated her too badly, and every word he said was so hypocritical, but he had no choice, his heartache was no less than that of Lan Qi, but Jiang Shan was the most important.

"I'm sorry for you." Xuan Ye said.

The emotions in Lan Qi's heart were aroused, and she held her mouth to prevent herself from crying out loud, but the tears poured out like a fountain and her whole body trembled. Seeing Xuan Ye panicked, she even hugged her and said, "I won't do this anymore, don't cry, My heart will be broken too."

But after crying bitterly for a while, the person in his arms gradually calmed down, sobbing and said: "Just do as the emperor wants, my daughter will be happy if she knows that she can do something for Ama. In a couple of months , the concubine should take good care of her, the concubine will definitely raise her body, the emperor has promised, and we will have a daughter."

Xuan Ye squeezed her hand tightly, nodded heavily: "There must be."

On this day, the emperor left the Yonghe Palace safely. People outside thought that the princess was not well, but there was no bad news. The little princess seemed to be living hard. People outside could not enter the Palace of Yonghe, and people inside could not When you get out, you can hardly hear anything.

Afterwards, the secret burial matter, although it is difficult to have secrets in the deep palace, but the emperor really wanted to make it leak-free, and no one would notice it, not to mention that it is easy for such a small child to be taken out of the Yonghe Palace, but the child's funeral is low-key and simple. Under the command of Prince Yu, he personally sent the little niece to a temple in the suburbs of Beijing, where she was buried in secret, to save the dead.

On the day when the child was finally taken away, Lan Qi cried so hard that she fainted, and when she woke up, she saw Xuan Ye beside her, and the emperor said to her in an orderly tone: "Don't cry anymore, you promised me and my daughter, Take care of yourself."

Lan Qi still remembers telling Huan Chun that she would not cry in front of others for the sake of the empress dowager and the emperor.She had hoped that she would not be worried by Xuan Ye, but how could she have thought that when she really faced him, she could not hide her sadness at all. Xuan Ye was the one she could rely on in this world, the one she could entrust physically and mentally to.Even though Xuan Ye ordered her, she still couldn't stop her tears and sadness, but the emperor was not irritable, and stayed with her hour after hour, and only left when she fell asleep peacefully.

During the first seven days of the little princess, the emperor came to Yonghe Palace almost every day. He came to accompany the sad Lan Qi, but outsiders seemed to care about the princess because the princess was weak. Everyone thought that the little princess was still alive and well.

As time went on, everyone's curiosity faded, and gradually some people wanted to visit Concubine De, but the Empress Dowager in Ningshou Palace never let go, always saying that Concubine De was too weak to see guests, even if a concubine came to ask for an order, the Empress Dowager would not let her go. She prevaricates by saying that she went to see it and it is good, so that everyone should not worry.

For example, Concubine Wen Gui, after paying her respects to the Empress Dowager today, she proposed to visit Concubine De, but the Empress Dowager perfunctory her, and was rejected like everyone else, thinking that she asked Dongyun to prepare a gift before going out, and if she got permission, she would just go there , came back resentfully, saw Dong Yun waiting in front of the door with a pale face, and said curiously: "Everyone is rejected, you are not so surprised, are you?"

"Your Majesty, come with your servant." But Dong Yun nervously pulled her up and walked into the hall, so anxious that the bottom of the flower pot under Concubine Wen's feet could not be stable, so she entered the room suspiciously, Dong Yun took her to the bed Next to him, he lifted up a pile of gauze quilts on the bed, and there was a white doll in it. Concubine Wen didn't see it clearly at first glance, but when she took a closer look, she backed away again and again, and fell down without standing still. .

Dong Yun quickly came to help her: "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

"Why, how could there be such a thing?" Concubine Wen was so scared that her face turned pale, she grabbed Dong Yun's collar, "What is this?"

Regarding this matter, Concubine Wen called Jue Chan, who was unprepared to see this thing in Nightmare Town and was terrified. On the doll with the birth date written on it, several people's life gates were pierced with silver needles , there are bloodstains on the doll's body, which is left by Dongyun's hand being punctured.

Let’s say that after Dongyun prepared a gift for the master to visit Yonghe Palace, she remembered that she said the bed was stuffy last night, so she wanted to turn out a set of cool silk mattresses. What kind of needle and thread was left in it, and when she turned it out to see, her legs were so frightened that her legs went limp, and after waiting and waiting, she finally got the master back, and it really scared Concubine Wen Gui half to death.

With tears in her eyes, Concubine Wen said bitterly: "Could it be that this thing is harming me?"

Jue Chan has followed Rong Ruo to see the world. There is no shortage of such nightmare suppression techniques in court struggles in history, but the theory of ghosts and gods is believable or not. Most of them are only used to shock and restrain people. Jue Chan and Rong Ruo are the same Those who don't believe it also said to Concubine Wen at this moment: "This kind of thing is just a legend, no one knows whether it is true or not, empress, please don't think about it, and look at this date of birth, it is not yours."

Dong Yun also came up to look, nodded and said: "It's really not the mother's birth date."

Concubine Wen didn't understand: "It's not mine, so why put it in my room?"

Jue Chan thought and thought, first asked Dong Yun who were the maids who could move Concubine Wen's bedding and clothes, and asked her to pay attention, and then said to Concubine Wen: "Since it is not your birth date, I don't want to use the technique of Nightmare Town to harm you. , that is to frame you and let the court law punish you."

Concubine Wen's face was as pale as paper, and she asked word by word: "Punish me? This is the crime of beheading or even exterminating the family. Who has such a deep hatred for me?"

Jue Chan said: "Naturally, the death penalty is a crime, but if you don't care about the crime, you will never recover. Let Dong Yun try to find out the birthdays of several empresses in the palace to see which one it is. Empress, don't be too scared. Now that we find out by ourselves, we won't be passive anymore, and we will slowly find out who instigated it, and then see if we should report it to the Second Palace. This is a big deal, in case someone is waiting for us to find out , set up another trap?"

Concubine Wen nodded again and again: "I listen to you, I will send someone to investigate, but..." She frowned and said bitterly, "But my ability is limited, I used to rely on my family, now if I want to investigate in detail, I have to rely on They're gone."

"Then rely on this time. In the future, it will be a big deal to cross the river and tear down the bridge. The emperor will not care about your relationship with your family for a while, not to mention that it is unfilial for a concubine to sever contact with her natal family." At this point, you must be more courageous."

In the blink of an eye, it was mid-July, after the Ghost Festival, when the weather was getting cooler, the fourth elder brother in Chengqian Palace fell ill. The delicate child had a fever for days, and when he was confused, he would talk nonsense, and one night it was even more frightening Convulsions, the imperial concubine waited day and night, and couldn't help crying when she carried someone on her back, for fear that Yinzhen would not be able to survive the illness and would leave her.

The empress dowager and the emperor were very nervous, and they used all the manpower and material resources of the imperial hospital to treat the fourth elder brother. Fortunately, God blessed him, and the child's fever subsided after four or five days.

It used to be a common thing for young children to get sick, but after getting over it, the child grew up like a reborn child in a few days. If he couldn’t make it through, he was naturally unlucky. Fortunately, the four elder brothers had their own nature, and two days after the fever subsided, they were alive and kicking again.

But it was the day when the imperial concubine came to report to the emperor that the child was recovering from illness, and unexpectedly found something from Nightmare Town in Chuxiu Palace. On the dirty thing was written the fourth elder brother's birthday.
