Chapter 2412: Speaking of it, it’s all “fate”
When they arrived at the imperial concubine's bedroom, they chatted for a while and then began to ask about Kang Biyun.
Nan Yan glanced at them.
He simply said, "The weather has been too cold recently. You all should take care of yourselves. Don't be like Kang Jieyu, who caught a cold and didn't take good care of herself. A minor illness cost her her life."
Everyone took a deep breath.
You look at me, I look at you, some are puzzled, some are doubtful, and there is a hint of panic and caution in the eyes of others.
Only Concubine Shun had a look of regret on her face.
He murmured, "How could you, at such a young age,..."
Nan Yan glanced at her.
Xinqing is the oldest and has been with Zhu Feng the longest. Logically, she is used to seeing the separations and deaths in the world. However, no matter how much she has experienced, her character has never become slick and materialistic. Instead, she has always retained a bit of simplicity and purity.
She didn't know Kang Biyun's personality or what she had done, and she wasn't like other people who knew nothing but made wild speculations after someone died.
She simply felt sympathy and regret for the passing of a young life.
People with such kind nature are what Nan Yan likes most.
Because of this, even though she had a good relationship with her, she was unwilling to tell her the truth.
So he said softly, "Sister Shunfei, don't be too upset."
“…”
"After all, it's all fate."
Xinqing nodded gently.
She thought for a moment and then said, "Then, what does your Majesty plan to do with Concubine Kang's funeral? Your Majesty is not in good health now, so why not leave it to the sisters in the harem to handle it, and save them the trouble."
According to her character, Kang Biyun would naturally be buried with the etiquette of a concubine.
Nan Yan could only say, "The Emperor has already handed this matter over to Eunuch Yu."
"oh……"
Concubine Shun nodded and said, "That's fine. Eunuch Yu is a capable person. It will be right to entrust this matter to him."
Everyone chatted for a while and expressed their sympathy and sadness for Kang Jieyu.
However, there was no real emotion in the words of these people, they were just some dry and polite remarks.
Nan Yan waved her hand lightly: "Okay, you all go back and rest if you are fine."
Everyone then stood up and said goodbye.
Nan Yan thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Mr. Xin, please stay for a moment. I have something to ask you."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on Xin Mimi again. She looked a little flustered, but she stopped immediately and said, "Yes."
Chen Lianxiang left with everyone else.
Before leaving, she looked back, with a faint smile on her lips, and turned to walk out the door.
After everyone quietly left the bedroom, as soon as they walked out the door, everyone's expressions became strange.
Ruan Mei spoke first, "Why did you keep Xin Cairen here?"
Someone nearby asked, "Could it be that you want to ask about Concubine Kang?"
Shun Fei said, "Don't speculate. Didn't the Imperial Concubine say that Concubine Kang died of a serious illness?"
Although everyone disagreed in their hearts, after all, she was older and of higher rank, so it was difficult for them to refute her.
Just nodding in agreement.
Concubine Shun sighed lightly and turned away.
As soon as she left, a group of young concubines immediately started chattering:
"I just find it strange. How could a cold take someone's life?"
"Yeah, she was fine the other day."
"And why did the Emperor ask Eunuch Yu to handle her funeral? In the past, when a concubine passed away, wasn't it always the harem that handled it?"
"I think this matter is very strange."
"Yeah, yeah, I think so too."
Everyone chatted for a long time, and then Noble Lady Yao Ying turned to look at Ruan Mei and said softly, "Empress Xi, your Jingyang Palace is so close to Yangxingzhai. Have you really seen nothing these days?"
“…”
Although she had just answered her once, this time, Concubine Xi couldn't help but frown and think about it over and over again.
Seeing her like this, everyone looked at her with bated breath.
After an unknown amount of time, Ruan Mei pouted and said softly, "Come to think of it, although she has been staying indoors these days, she has always had an imperial physician visiting her."
"Imperial physician? Which imperial physician?"
"Doctor Xue."
"Doctor Xue?!"
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard these three words. Even Concubine Yi couldn't help but mutter, "Imperial Physician Xue...isn't he exclusively at the Emperor's disposal these days?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you.
His eyes became strange.
Although, people were not as bold as Kang Biyun, but in the harem, apart from the emperor who would appear from time to time - but most of the time he would only go to the imperial concubine, and only a few times would he visit Shunfei - it was rare for people to see a normal man all year round.
He can barely be considered an imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Bureau.
However, before Xue Yun, Wang Baizhi was the youngest imperial physician, but he was already middle-aged, and had an ordinary appearance. He just did his job.
But Xue Yun's appearance was like a ray of light.
If the emperor is a scorching and intense ray of sunshine, then this gentle, warm and elegant imperial physician is like moonlight. He treats everyone with peace of mind and treats everyone who needs him, regardless of their status. Indeed, many palace maids in the harem fall in love with him.
So, when it comes to Doctor Xue, everyone's mood becomes a little strange.
After a while, someone chuckled and said, "He..."
Ruan Mei frowned and thought for a long time. Then she remembered something and murmured, "Now that you mention it, it reminds me again. This morning, when I was playing shuttlecock with the little palace maid in Jingyang Palace, I seemed to see——"
Everyone hurriedly asked, "What did you see?"
"I saw that Doctor Xue seemed to have passed by the gate of Jingyang Palace. That road seemed to lead to Yangxingzhai."
“……!”
Everyone gasped immediately.
Concubine Kang passed away this morning, and Doctor Xue actually went there?
Chen Lianxiang asked softly, "Is anyone going with her?"
Her voice was originally soft and gentle, but Ruan Mei frowned when she heard it. After all, the feud between the two of them was still there, and she was not willing to talk to her alone.
However, everyone around her was looking at her anxiously.
She snorted coldly before saying, "It seems, it seems that the maidservant beside the Imperial Concubine, the one named Ran Xiaoyu, went with her."
“……!”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Although no one spoke, everyone vaguely felt that something was a little strange.
Chen Lianxiang was quiet for a moment, then whispered, "I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine is concerned about Concubine Kang, so she went to see her off in person. I just don't know what she wants to ask by keeping Concubine Xin here."
“…”
"If the person simply died of illness, what else is there to ask?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions became strange.
