In the imperial harem, it was common for one's rank to rise and fall; being favored one day and falling out of favor the next was a frequent occurrence.
However, the situation in the harem has been changing too quickly recently. Before, it was some minor concubines who were promoted or demoted, so it wouldn't affect the overall situation in the harem. But now, it's the former high-ranking concubines who are getting into trouble, and they are all falling out one after another.

There must be some inside information they don't know about here.
Thinking this way, some people dared not move, and simply stayed in their rooms without going out. They didn't even move unless necessary.
As for Xiu Ning of Qixiang Palace, her health began to suffer after Consort De became Consort De, and she started frequently calling the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital for diagnosis.
Emperor Kangxi even invited all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Academy to examine Xiuning's pulse. The final conclusion was that Xiuning's body had suffered functional damage due to her own problems, and that she needed to rest and recuperate in bed to recover.
In fact, the imperial physicians diagnosed Xiu Ning as being poisoned. Although the effects of the poison were not yet severe, it still delayed Xiu Ning's recovery.
Poisoning?!
When he learned of this news, Emperor Kangxi was furious. He not only ordered Li Dequan to lead a team to investigate the whole story, but also ordered the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital to conduct a comprehensive examination at the Qianqing Palace.
If Qixiang Palace was poisoned, how could Qianqing Palace, where he was staying, be considered safe?
It should be noted that among all the palaces in the inner palace, apart from Qianqing Palace, Qixiang Palace was the safest. However, it seems as if a hammer has come down on them, and even Qixiang Palace is not safe now.
Emperor Kangxi, caught between shock and anger, did not have time to comfort Xiuning, who was lying on the bed. He valued his own life very much, and although Xiuning's poisoning was a great blow to him, it was still not as great as his own life.
Xiuning understood and didn't mind.
Her current poisoning is all an act for Emperor Kangxi to see.
The high-ranking concubines in the harem either suffered misfortune or were demoted.
If she were still living peacefully in Qixiang Palace without any problems, it would be an insult to Kangxi's intelligence, giving him an excuse to take action.
Therefore, Xiu Ning chose to strike first, poisoning herself, thus successfully removing Qi Xiang Palace from the list.
Looking back at Xiuning's plan now, Xiuning feels that she has done what she wanted, but at the same time, she has also left herself with trouble.
After this incident, Kangxi will undoubtedly become more concerned about his own safety. Xiuning's idea of going with the flow and having others take action while she herself adds fuel to the fire is unlikely to succeed.
Why
Sighing as she lay in bed, Xiu Ning felt that this world was somewhat unfriendly and hoped that in the next world, whether it was the clients or other NPCs, things would be simpler and more direct.
Otherwise, it's a waste of brain cells to always fight in a small, square space.
"Master, you're awake?"
Chunyu brought in the boiled medicine and saw her master half-lying on the bed with soft pillows. She was immediately overjoyed.
She strode over to her mistress's side and placed the soup bowl aside. "My mistress, how are you feeling? I'll fetch the imperial physician right away."
Since Xiuning was poisoned, Qixiang Palace has been in a state of seclusion.
Because of Emperor Kangxi's prior instructions, Qixiang Palace had the best of everything in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities, but this could not alleviate Chunyu's nervousness.
Having been in the palace for many years, she knew very well how powerful her master was.
As a result, such a powerful master was poisoned just like that. Even now, we still don't know who did it. Chunyu feels terrible every time she thinks about it. Her master has really suffered.
"No need for that. I know my body well; it's nothing serious."
Xiu Ning took the medicine herself. She knew the situation. Her body looked weak, but it would be difficult to cause serious injury by poisoning.
Xiuning had a lot of good stuff. When she felt she couldn't hold on any longer, she would turn around and take some medicine to save her life, ensuring she would outlive the seemingly healthy Kangxi.
However, Xiu Ning's poison needs to be treated for a while longer, preferably for some time.
"Bring the medicine over."
Without saying anything more, Xiu Ning reached out and asked Chun Yu to hand over the medicine.
Chunyu quickly got to work, and even took the initiative to feed Xiuning the medicine with a spoon, fearing that she might get tired.
Xiuning: ...It's too bitter.
After finishing the medicine with a frown, Xiu Ning asked about the situation in the harem.
Now that she is ill, she certainly cannot continue to manage palace affairs.
Palace affairs are currently in the hands of Consort He and Consort Rong, who work together to manage the harem in an orderly manner.
It seems that as long as the women in the harem are given the opportunity, they will all show their abilities.
Look how old Guarjia is now, and Consort Rong has the word "low-key" engraved in her bones.
But right now, those two are already the new leaders of the harem.
Regardless of how long this leader can remain in power, just look at their impressive abilities; you'll know they're not just a pretty face.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince and the Fourth Prince have both submitted memorials requesting to come to the palace to see you in the past two days, but unfortunately the Emperor refused them on the grounds of recuperation. We don't know when the two princes will be able to come in."
Chunyu pouted in dissatisfaction, harboring resentment and discontent towards the Emperor's actions.
After all, they are biological mother and son. Everyone else can see them, but why is their master being treated differently?
Xiu Ning patted Chun Yu's shoulder with a smile, "What's the big deal? It's just a small matter. Perhaps His Majesty is worried that my health hasn't recovered well. If Yin Yi and Yin Lu come and find out something wrong, it could easily affect the court."
Xiu Ning's body appears to be sick, but in reality, it is poisoned.
Even with her well-maintained face, she looked pale and haggard.
Looking at her master lying on the bed, looking haggard, Chunyu felt even more distressed.
