The Virtuous Concubine

After discussing this with E-Chan, Aunt Hongyu went to prepare. She also specifically asked E-Chan whether she should tell Malu about this matter.

E-chan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this: "Can...can we just forget about this matter? Anyway, according to your arrangement, Mayanzhu will never be able to enter the palace."

He thought about handling the matter quietly, so as not to hurt Malu's feelings towards Wuya's family, and not to hinder her pregnancy. If he sent another person in now, who knows how the outside world would make plans.

Everyone loves to hear the story of Feiyan and Hede. Although the emperor loves sisters, he can do such things as long as he is present, but the Uya family cannot!

Aunt Hongyu shook her head: "I can't guarantee that no one will interfere. Concubine Wuya is very popular in the palace now, and there are many people who are jealous. As long as Mayanzhu enters the palace, we can't control much about how things will develop in the future."

Of course E-chan knew about this, so he could only sigh and make the most rational choice: "I know, but now the status of Noble Lady Wuya is different, and I can't see her easily. I will write a letter and ask someone to deliver it to the palace right away, and I hope you can help me find someone to mediate."

Aunt Hongyu nodded: "Why don't you just write it and give it to me, I will pass it on to Shuyu. Now Shuyu is responsible for taking care of Concubine Wuya until she moves to the harem, so you better hurry up."

E Can hurried back to think carefully and didn't mention it. The palace was busy because of the sudden appearance of Wu Ya Guiren. There were people investigating and preparing. The maids and eunuchs were talking about it. Among them, Dachun, Jingyi and Wan Liuhaniuniu, who were relatively familiar with Malu, were naturally disturbed.

Fortunately, the three sisters were of good character and did not leak or make up any nonsense, which made those who came to get close to them and join in the fun go home disappointed.

Because these three people are familiar with Malu, their daily treatment is much better, which can be regarded as Malu's help. After all, if someone is upset and treats them harshly, they will turn around and say a few words to Wu Ya Guiren, and then they will be in danger.

Those of lower rank in the palace did not dare to do this, and those of higher rank did not want to do this—except for Concubine Tong. Moreover, Kangxi was really very powerful, and an imperial edict to confer the title of empress promptly diverted the attention of everyone in the harem.

Everyone was either frantically making up lessons, learning the etiquette and procedures for the empress's coronation ceremony and preparing jewelry and clothes, or rushing to show their loyalty to Concubine Nianhulu. There really was not much time to pay attention to Concubine Uya, a newcomer who didn't even know if she had kept her child stable.

Kangxi was very satisfied with the current harem structure. There were many beauties, but on the surface, everyone seemed to be at peace and happy. It turned out that there still needed to be someone to help him manage these women! Once the position of empress was decided, these people's hearts would die, and there would be no more trouble.

If he were asked to rate the current harem, he would give it 9 points. The remaining point would be deducted from Concubine Tong.

Because when she heard the news that Concubine Nianhulu was crowned queen, she was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted.

The consultant knew that this was not an easy job, but the imperial concubine was the second in harem, and the first in harem at present. According to the rules, only he was suitable to announce the decree. When Imperial Concubine Tong learned that Concubine Niuhulu was named empress, she was extremely excited. Her face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her chest rose and fell violently, as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

She bit her lips tightly, trying to control her emotions, but ultimately she couldn't help it.

Liuying, who was standing by, saw that something was wrong with her master and was just about to give the consultant some money to send the guest away, but "Puff" a mouthful of blood spurted out of Concubine Tong's mouth, and finally splashed on her gorgeous palace dress and on the ground.

Then everyone saw Concubine Tong's body shaking a few times, and then she fell straight to the ground like a stiff piece of wood.

The others didn't even have time to cover up, and the eunuch advisor who came to announce the decree didn't have time to leave either. They could only watch as the backbone of Chengqian Palace fell. All the palace people exploded in an instant and rushed to Concubine Tong.

Even though the consultant had been in the harem for many years, and had experienced the Ming and Qing dynasties, and had seen many storms, he was still stunned. Even before coming, he had prepared for the worst, and had organized a lot of words, thinking about how to comfort the imperial concubine so that he could report back, and how to control the impact if the imperial concubine made a fuss, and so on.

He was also confused by Concubine Tong's unexpected vomiting and fainting.

This person is too hot-tempered, too narrow-minded, and too poor in health.

But he had no time to complain at all at this moment.

The consultant walked forward quickly, not caring about being rude, and squatted down to check on Concubine Tong's condition, while calling out loudly to other eunuchs and palace maids.

"Quick, go and get the imperial physician! The imperial concubine must have been overjoyed and too excited, and she has a heart attack. Liuying, find a few more palace maids to help move the imperial concubine to the bed. Everyone else, prepare hot water and clothes!" The consultant gave a series of instructions and asked Liuying to loosen the imperial concubine's clothes a little so that she could breathe.

The eunuchs and maids around them immediately took action, some went to ask for the imperial physician, and some hurried to get the medicine box and clean water. Liuying carefully picked up Concubine Tong with several maids and put her on the bed, while gently wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth with her sleeve.

The advisors saw that the situation was under control for the time being, so they sent their own people to inform the emperor. Kangxi was also shocked when he learned that Concubine Tong had vomited blood and fainted. He immediately ordered the imperial physician to treat her with all his strength, and got up to visit Concubine Tong in person.

Standing in front of Concubine Tong's bed, Kangxi looked at her pale face due to illness, feeling guilty and resentful. With her temperament and body, how could she help him manage the affairs of the harem?

The empress was not only the emperor's wife, but also a role model for the harem and all the women in the world, managing the women of the Qing Dynasty. If the harem was not peaceful, it would also affect her reputation.

Kangxi sighed softly, he knew that he could not show any hesitation or weakness at this moment.

Given my cousin's personality and the way she handles things, it's fine for her to be a concubine. She probably does this because she loves me so much. Thinking of this, Kangxi couldn't bear to blame this little woman who only had him in her eyes and heart. He prepared to let Liang Jiugong bring the memorial over, and he sat beside her, reviewing the memorial while waiting for Concubine Tong to wake up.

Taking advantage of this gap, Kangxi asked Qi Kun, the chief judge of the Imperial Hospital, "How is the imperial concubine's health?"

When the Imperial Hospital Judge Qi Kun heard Kangxi's question, he stepped forward and answered respectfully, "Your Majesty, Concubine Tong fainted due to a heart attack caused by emotional excitement. We have already given her acupuncture, and she is now stable. But she will need to rest for a long time."

Emperor Kangxi nodded and said, "I understand. Qi Kun, you and everyone in the Imperial Hospital must do your best to treat the imperial concubine and ensure her health."

Qi Kun quickly responded: "I will obey your order and do my best. But..."

Kangxi: “Just what?”

Qi Kun replied: "Taking medicine is secondary. The Imperial Concubine needs to calm down first and avoid any big emotional fluctuations. In addition, the Imperial Concubine also needs to pay attention to her diet."

Emperor Kangxi waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go and tell your subordinates to strictly follow your doctor's instructions in taking care of the imperial concubine."

Qi Kun bowed again: "I thank the emperor for his trust."

Emperor Kangxi waved his hand again to let Qi Kun leave, then turned back to the table and began to review the memorials. While reviewing, he was thinking about the impact that the imperial concubine's illness would have on the former court and the harem.

He had already tasted the sweetness of stability in the harem, and did not want to create any more complications, and let the imperial concubine's illness become a tool for others to use to prevent him from becoming the empress. Emperor Kangxi picked up a pen and wrote a few lines on a memorial, then summoned the advisor: "Advisor, convey my order to let the people in Chengqian Palace keep their mouths shut. I don't want to hear the harem talking about the imperial concubine because of this matter."

The consultant quickly agreed. He knew that the emperor did not want the situation to escalate further. But he also knew that the matter had probably been spread out long ago, so he could only try his best not to discuss it in front of the emperor and the imperial concubine.
