Concubine Mi in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 120

When Wang Miheng arrived at Chengqian Palace, Concubine De was holding the unconscious Fourteenth Elder Brother and crying loudly. Her face was pale without a trace of blood, she looked like she was after a serious illness.

"Yinzhen, Erniang's Yinzhen..." Concubine De looked at the fourteenth elder brother in her arms without moving, repeating the same words over and over again.

But at this time, the imperial concubine was standing not far away, and her face was naturally not much better.

It's no wonder, now she is the rightful mother-in-law of Fourteenth Elder Brother, even if she is nervous, she should be nervous.De Concubine's actions are obviously somewhat inappropriate, but then again, after all, the fourteenth elder brother crawled out of De Concubine's belly, and De Concubine, a mother-in-law, naturally can't see her son making a mistake , not to mention, still unconscious like now.

All the concubines stood there, looking at the embarrassing expression of the imperial concubine, although they all pretended to be anxious on the surface, they couldn't help gloating in their hearts.The emperor's grace is really good, but when it comes to the imperial concubine, it may not be a good thing.

There are too many women in this palace who can't give birth. Who doesn't want to have a child by their side, but there are many differences in it. It is very good to adopt a child who is still in the swaddling baby. If her mother is not around , that would be even better.But if adopting someone like the fourteenth elder brother is not only a matter of memory, but also the mother-in-law is still a concubine in the palace, then it is conceivable that this good thing will become a bad thing.

Otherwise, how could this picture appear in front of me?

The fourteenth elder brother just had a problem, and the concubine De rushed over in a hurry. This is probably the so-called deep love between mother and child.

But in this way, the Empress in the title of imperial concubine seemed to have no sense of existence. I don't know what the imperial concubine felt when she watched this scene.

"Concubine De, don't be too sad. Brother Fourteen is the son of the imperial concubine. Naturally, the imperial concubine has to be anxious when he is sick." Xiangfei looked at the pale concubine who was lying beside the bed, and couldn't help but speak. Persuade.

There was something in the concubine Xiang's words, and as soon as she finished speaking, Concubine De's body froze, her face was as pale as paper, she reluctantly stood up and knelt down in front of the imperial concubine with a plop.

"Your Majesty, calm down, the concubine is just in a hurry, please forgive me."

Her actions surprised everyone.These years the emperor valued Concubine De and let her be in charge of palace affairs, so everyone in the palace knew that Concubine De looked down on Concubine De who had no heirs and was not favored by the Emperor.So at this moment, she suddenly knelt down on the ground to plead guilty, which made everyone unable to react.

However, after thinking about it, I understood again.It is said that this time and that time, Concubine De's current situation, don't give in to the concubine Huang Guifei.The Imperial Concubine is in charge of the Phoenix Seal, and her most beloved son is also in the hands of the Imperial Concubine. No matter how unwilling the Concubine De is, she has to bow her head and become a minister.

Before the imperial concubine could call out, she heard the announcement from the eunuch outside: "The emperor is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kangxi, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked in.

Seeing Concubine De who was kneeling on the ground trembling slightly with a pale face, Kangxi couldn't help frowning.

"My concubines pay my respects to the emperor." The imperial concubine was the first to react, and hurriedly led all the concubines to greet him.

"What's going on?" Kangxi's eyes fell on Concubine De, with a bit of displeasure in his tone.

"emperor……"

The imperial concubine had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Concubine De: "The emperor forgives the sin, it's all the concubine's fault. I heard that the fourteenth elder brother is ill, and I was out of control for a while, so I ask the emperor to forgive me."

Standing there, Wang Miheng had no choice but to admire Concubine De from the bottom of his heart.Concubine De said this very sincerely, and what she said inside and outside was her own fault, but when she heard Kangxi's ears, she became just a mother who worried about her son, and the fault may be someone else.

In any case, Elder Fourteen is Concubine De's own flesh and blood, even if she loses some sense because of this matter, it is reasonable, and Kangxi naturally can't blame her.

Listening to Concubine De's words, the imperial concubine's eyes flashed with hatred, but she had no other choice, at this time, the more she said, the more mistakes she made.

What a concubine De, after all, she underestimated her, thinking that she had been ill for a while and knew that she should restrain herself, but unexpectedly, she was caught off guard at this moment.

She suddenly knelt down in front of her, so she wanted to win the emperor's compassion.After all, she was born as a court lady, and this kind of low-level method can also make it out.

But obviously, Concubine De's words really had some effect. Standing there, Wang Miheng saw that Kangxi looked at the imperial concubine a little more reproachfully.

Needless to say, it is known that half of the blame is due to Elder Fourteen, and half is due to the embarrassment of the imperial concubine to Concubine De.

It is conceivable that as soon as he entered the door, he saw the crumbling Concubine De kneeling in front of the imperial concubine, and subconsciously wanted to protect the weak.

"Get up, Brother Fourteen, why is he sick?" Kangxi asked all the concubines to get up, looked at the imperial concubine and asked.

There was a bit of majesty in his voice, and the imperial concubine hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "Your Majesty forgive me, my concubine only listened to the mother's words early in the morning."

"Confused! I put the fourteenth elder brother under your name, and you are his mother-in-law, why don't you know why you are sick?" Before the imperial concubine could explain, Kangxi frowned displeasedly, and began to reprimand.

Seeing Kangxi's fury, the imperial concubine trembled all over, and the hand holding the handkerchief suddenly tightened a little.

Concubine De's son is the same as Concubine De, he is used to pretending to be pitiful, so I can't blame her for crying all day and being sick.At this moment, she lost face in front of everyone.

"The emperor forgives the crime."

"Did you tell the doctor?"

"Going back to the emperor, the imperial physician has been passed on, so it's time to come here."

At this time, a eunuch outside the hall suddenly reported back, "Report to the emperor, the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital has arrived."

When Kangxi heard it, he raised his voice and said, "Come in quickly."

The leader was Imperial Physician Zhou from Imperial Hospital. Before the imperial physicians greeted him, Kangxi waved his hand and ordered, "Show Fourteenth Brother quickly."

The imperial physicians trembled all over, bowed their bodies, and hurried to the bedside, taking turns to diagnose the pulse of the unconscious Fourteenth Elder Brother.

After a long while, Kangxi asked, "How is Brother Fourteen?"

Doctor Zhou stroked his beard, and asked the imperial concubine, "Dare to ask your majesty, has Elder Fourteen taken any medicine these days?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes fell on the imperial concubine, with doubts, scrutiny, and even anticipation in their eyes.

The imperial doctor's words obviously suspected that the imperial concubine had tampered with the fourteenth elder brother.

As soon as Imperial Physician Zhou's words fell, Concubine De's feet went limp and she fell to the ground, muttering: "Your Majesty..."

Concubine De had tears in her eyes, and she looked extremely pitiful kneeling on the ground.

Standing there, Wang Miheng looked at Concubine De's tears streaming down her face, and felt that Concubine De's acting skills were really good. She didn't say a word, but the face of the imperial concubine standing there immediately changed.

The imperial concubine hesitated slightly, looked at Kangxi's face, and then said: "Brother Fourteen doesn't make much money these days, I gave him some medicine, which was prescribed by Doctor Zhang of the Imperial Hospital."

"My minister has the guts, can I let my minister take a look at Fang Zi?"

The imperial concubine was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Zhou Taiyi's words.Before she could open her mouth, Kangxi said with a sullen face, "Go out and get it."

"Yes." The imperial concubine replied, and gestured to Nanny Gui, who was beside her. Soon, Nanny Gui brought the prescription and handed over the dregs of the boiled medicine to the imperial physician.

Several imperial physicians opened the medicinal residues one by one and examined them one by one.

"How?" Kangxi asked.

Doctor Zhou cupped his hands and said: "There is nothing wrong with this medicine, according to my view, it is because the young son is weak, please allow me to prescribe a few prescriptions for the fourteenth elder brother to recuperate for a few days."

After listening to the doctor Zhou's words, the imperial concubine breathed a sigh of relief, everyone's body is different, as long as there is nothing wrong with the prescription, the emperor will not make things difficult for her even if he pursues it.

"The emperor forgives the sin, the concubine was careless for a while." The imperial concubine took a step forward and knelt down to plead guilty.

Kangxi's face softened a bit, "Get up, Elder Brother Fourteen is weak, it's no wonder you are there."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Your majesty, it's no wonder the noble concubine. The noble concubine has never given birth, so naturally she doesn't understand the difficulty of taking care of children. According to my concubine, it's better to take the fourteenth elder brother to live in Yonghe Palace for a few days, and let the concubine De take care of her personally." Then, Elder Fourteen's illness may be cured."

Concubine Hui's voice paused slightly, and then said: "The concubine heard that elder brother Fourteen has been crying a lot these days, maybe he hurt his body from crying." Concubine Hui took a step forward and said meaningfully.

Kangxi glanced at Concubine De who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "That's fine, I will return to the Qian Palace after Elder Fourteen recovers from his illness."

Concubine De hurriedly bowed her head in gratitude: "My concubine, I thank the emperor for his kindness."

"How does Aifei feel?" Kangxi turned his head and glanced at the imperial concubine standing there, and asked.

"That's very good. Brother Fourteen can let Concubine De take care of her for a few days, and the concubine can feel relieved."

Kangxi looked at the imperial concubine thoughtfully, and ordered Li Dequan to drive to Qianqing Palace.

"The concubines respectfully send the emperor off." All the concubines bowed down and stood up until the bright yellow figure disappeared from sight.

The original silence returned to the hall, and the imperial concubine stood there with no expression of joy or anger.

"If the empress has no other orders, the concubine will take the fourteenth elder brother back to the Yonghe Palace, and the empress does not need to take this matter to heart. After all, the empress has never given birth, so it will naturally be a little awkward to bring a child. It’s bumpy. Fortunately, the emperor is sympathetic, and he is reluctant to make the empress tired.”

The imperial concubine turned her head, and a chill flashed in her eyes: "So I'm going to bother my sister, and I will send someone to pick him up after Elder Fourteen recovers from his illness. I don't want to let my sister be happy for nothing."

After returning to the Yonghe Palace, Concubine De held Fourteenth Elder Brother in her arms and watched carefully for a long time before she asked someone to boil the medicine that had been prepared earlier and feed it in mouthful by mouthful.

After finishing these, it was almost noon.

Concubine De looked down at Yinzhen who was lying on the bed, her eyes flashed the joy of regaining what was lost.

"Your Majesty today, why..." Before the nanny could finish her sentence, Concubine De interrupted her.

"This matter cannot be rushed, otherwise it will only backfire."
