Youqing lived in the rear quarters of Jingyang Palace. Because of its remote location, Jingyang Palace did not have a principal consort. It was inhabited by people like her who were out of favor. The highest-ranking person was a Noble Lady. She did not need to pay her respects, so her life was quite peaceful.
Of course, at this time, Youqing was unaware that Jingyang Palace was actually known as the Cold Palace.
Compared to the peaceful and idyllic life of the young Qing emperor, the Kangxi Emperor in the Qianqing Palace was going crazy.
He initially thought that the appointment of Consort Cheng was an accident, but two days later, he flipped over the nameplate of a Consort and saw a ghost as well.
One time could be considered an accident, but seeing ghosts twice, and being the only one who could see ghosts while others couldn't, made Kangxi think it was no longer an accident or a coincidence.
Then Kangxi had Liang Jiugong find several clean palace maids, and he specifically had their backgrounds investigated to confirm that they had no blood on their hands, but they could still see ghosts.
Kangxi has finally confirmed it!
As a man.
This is too tragic for a man.
Even an emperor like Kangxi couldn't accept this fact.
After Liang Jiugong saw off a group of bewildered palace maids out of the palace, he also became confused. The Imperial Household Department hadn't done any work for quite some time. He had originally thought that His Majesty had ordered him to find palace maids to hunt for women, but then he ordered them all to be kept quiet and sent out of the palace.
If you think about it carefully, His Majesty hasn't eaten meat for quite some time now. This has happened before, but that was because the previous dynasty was too busy. Recently, the court has been relatively stable, the Three Feudatories Rebellion is almost over, and there haven't been any major issues. This is the first time His Majesty has been so abstinent.
The shrewd Liang Jiugong carefully considered the Emperor's recent unusual behavior. A beautiful woman was carried in and then carried out safely. Could it be that something was wrong with the Emperor's health?
His guess wasn't entirely wrong; being able to see ghosts upon touching a woman could be considered a sign of a physical problem.
