Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 200 Chang Zai's Promotion 30

"Imperial Physician, how is Concubine Rou?"

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rou is very weak from the rage she has caused. She cannot be provoked any further."

Qianlong: "Prescribe medicine for Concubine Rou."

"Yes."

Then Qianlong said with a worried look on his face: "Li Yu, go and call two more imperial doctors. I am worried about Concubine Rou."

Li Yu understood immediately that Qianlong was not worried about Concubine Rou, but was probably afraid that what Concubine Rou said was false: "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this time, Qianlong believed no one.

It is true that he dotes on Jihuan, but Jihuan is also a person competing for the position of imperial concubine!

Soon, Li Yu brought over two more imperial doctors, who were trusted by Emperor Qianlong.

After the two doctors' diagnosis, they came to the same conclusion as the first imperial physician, that Jihuan's condition was very bad and she might have a miscarriage. If she did have a miscarriage, it would probably hurt her body and she would not be able to have children in the future.

Qianlong now truly believed that this matter had nothing to do with Jihuan.

The concubines in the harem are very concerned about their bellies, and Ji Huan would never gamble her future just for promotion.

He immediately ordered Li Yu: "Go and find out what the rumor is about? Also, have the queen deal with it quickly. The harem is in a mess, and anything can be spread. It's ridiculous."

Qianlong began to vent his anger on the empress dowager.

In fact, Qianlong often pursued perfection. Compared with Empress Fucha, it cannot be said that Empress Nara was inferior to Empress Fucha. It can only be said that the living cannot compete with the dead. In addition, Empress Nara had a relatively straightforward personality. Even if she learned to be soft, in Qianlong's view, she was still too straightforward.

Li Yu lowered his head: "I will go right away."

Jihuan was fed medicine and given an injection, and soon woke up. When she woke up, she saw Qianlong there, and she couldn't control her tears.

"Your Majesty, I have never done anything to Concubine Yu. Please investigate and clear my name. As for my mother, I would never dare to do such an unfilial act.

I beg Your Majesty to arrange someone to check. When my mother had acne on her face, she consulted many doctors, but they all said it was caused by inflammation. Later, the acne went away. Your Majesty, I would never dare to do such a vicious thing!

Although I am dull, I know that it is all because of my position. But I know myself well and I believe that I have not had as much experience in the palace as my other three sisters. I have never dared to dream of becoming a noble concubine.

I am willing to never be promoted in my life, and I only ask Your Majesty to find out the truth and clear my name."

Qianlong believed Jihuan's behavior and had no choice but to believe it.

What she said was heartfelt and indeed tragic, but most importantly, it made sense.

The rumor came suddenly and inexplicably.

Suddenly, there was a rumor in the harem that courtiers and women in the inner chambers had acne on their faces. It happened to be Ji Huan's "vicious" stepmother, and it happened that the acne on Concubine Yu's face scared him.

Qianlong also knew that it was too much of a coincidence.

Add to that the rumors about the Manchu military flag occupying a high position, which made him feel ridiculous.

"Don't worry, my beloved. I naturally believe you. Just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. I will definitely find out the truth. Think about our child. My beloved, remember not to get angry anymore."

"Your Majesty's words are enough. I believe in Your Majesty."

Qianlong comforted her again before leaving Xianfu Palace. Thinking that Jihuan needed rest, he sent someone to tell the empress not to disturb Jihuan's pregnancy.

When Queen Nara received the news, she felt a headache.

It's really not her fault for the rumor, it broke out too quickly and suddenly.

She is not an idle person and has a lot of things to do!

As Jihuan intentionally blocked the news about Xianfu Palace, except for Empress Nara, others knew about it a little later.

Concubine Ling only realized the seriousness of Jihuan's condition the day after she was rumored to have a miscarriage. Thinking of those rumors, Concubine Ling's first reaction was that something was wrong.

Then he quickly called his confidant: "Hurry up and send a message back, tell my father not to arrange for anyone to raise the Manchu flag to occupy a high position..."

Halfway through her words, Concubine Ling seemed to have thought of something and paused. Her face suddenly turned pale and her stomach began to feel a little uncomfortable.

She said dejectedly: "No need."

The confidant didn't quite understand what she meant and asked in confusion: "My lady?"

"No need to send a message! I lost this round again. I'm afraid my father won't be in a good situation this time."

"My Lady?! This servant does not understand."

"You don't have to understand."

The confidant swallowed his curiosity, looked at her face and said with some worry: "Madam, do you want to ask the imperial physician to come over? I see that you don't look well."

"I can't call the imperial physician. Please go out first. I want to be alone."

After the confidant left, Concubine Ling's face became even gloomier.

She knew that her family might not be doing very well. Even if it didn't fall apart, it would probably never be as prosperous as before.

If she really let the message out, Qianlong would definitely find out.

She was well aware that Qianlong was a suspicious person, and he would never tolerate any collusion between the harem and the previous dynasty.

Since her family has been implicated, she must try her best to maintain her innocence and not be caught with too many evidences.

The only thing that made her unsure was who planned this incident. Both Concubine Yu and Ji Huan had motives and were possible, but Concubine Yu had just been disfigured, so she should not be in the mood to calculate so many things.

As for Ji Huan, it was not false that she was diagnosed with a dangerous fetus by three imperial doctors and almost had a miscarriage.

This made Concubine Ling unsure who arranged it.

As she was thinking, the light in the room flickered, and at the same time she was waiting, waiting for the final judgment.

The next day, many officials of bondservant origin began to report to the court that the Manchu military flags occupied high positions.

Honestly, this is ridiculous.

The Manchu military banner was the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. Perhaps due to some political factors, there were concubines in the harem who were not of the Manchu military banner. But to some extent, even if all the concubines in the harem were of the Manchu military banner, it was in accordance with etiquette, but it would affect the balance.

But then again, balance is something the emperor needs to consider, and this kind of thing cannot be brought up openly.

It can be said that the situation in which the Baoyis once dominated Emperor Qianlong's harem fostered the Baoyis' greed and made them unable to see their own position clearly.

The result is self-evident. A group of people were demoted or even lost their jobs.

Just as Concubine Ling herself guessed, although her father was not a direct participant, he was involved a lot, and Qianlong naturally saw it clearly. As a result, he still kept his official hat, but his younger generation was demoted. The key was Qianlong's attitude, which made everyone understand that the Wei family could be "bullied".

The "golden body" of the favorite concubine's family was broken, which meant that Qianlong's trust in the Wei family was reduced.

When Concubine Ling in the palace received the news, she was found to have a miscarriage as expected. This was a real miscarriage, without any disguise at all.

After Concubine Ling had her miscarriage, there were noticeably fewer fights in the harem.

Because everyone knows that the results are out this time.

The next month, Ji Huan's body had almost recovered and she was barely able to get out of bed, and the imperial edict to appoint her as a noble concubine arrived.

As for the formal enthronement ceremony, it will be held after she gives birth to the child.

This result was not surprising to some insiders.

Among the four concubines, there is solid evidence that Concubine Jia murdered Jihuan.

The acne on Concubine Yu's face has not disappeared, but the Imperial Concubine wants to see the minister, so she has basically given up the possibility.

As for Concubine Ling, not to mention that she was highly suspected of being responsible for Concubine Yu's acne breakout, just looking at the things her father did, there seemed to be an intention to force Emperor Qianlong, so it was impossible for her to do that.

Therefore, Ji Huan, the "victim", became the big winner this time.

From the time Concubine Su fell ill to her death, in just a few short months, there was a lot of truth and falsehood, reality and fiction. It can be said that it was extremely lively, and it finally came to a temporary end in Xianfu Palace.
