Anshang in the winter snow days, after the fall of the harem difficult to find joy;

To pay respect to the decree of the King of Sin, the monarch angrily withdrew his card.

Ruan An was dead. In a snowstorm during the last month of Kangxi's seventeen years, Ruan An had quietly walked away. In the small chamber of the Kung Fu Palace, Rong'er and his concubine sat in silence, tears streaming down their faces.

After a long while, Rong'er said softly, ”My concubine, don't be too sad. Zhuan An might be a relief to be born with illness all over her body. At least for now, she won't suffer any more.”

”Mm …” Her body was too weak. Who would have thought that a bout of chilliness would take her life? I … It's my fault. I shouldn't have let her get sick. ” The concubine mumbled.

”Don't think too much about it, this is none of your business.” Rong'er looked out at the falling snow. ”The winter is too cold this year, and many people are caught in the cold, not to mention Zhuan An's weak body, life, Zhuan An's life, everyone's life …” Rong'er thought of Zhi Zhi … 'Jing`er should be leaving soon … ' ”My concubine, why do you think her life is so light? She didn't die just because she said so …”

”Respecting her …” Everyone knew in their hearts that the crime of disloyalty of a concubine was already decided and she was about to be executed, but as the Wang family was the home of a meritorious wartime official, it was possible to inform her relatives to enter the palace and meet her again. Thinking about this, the concubine smiled bitterly and said, ”Our lives are not important, right, we are dead and no one cares, Zhuan An is dead, we are only in the internal palace, Zhang Luo had never come to see the emperor, Zhuan An and I are not important to the emperor, I do not know.”

Rong'er sadly lowered her head. She knew that the Emperor didn't like Ruan An. The Emperor had always believed that having a mother meant having a son, so because of the matter with Zhang Legge, the Emperor was prejudiced against him. The Emperor valued character, and it should be said that the mistake he made this time with his concubine was indeed a great offense against the Emperor. Rong'er softly comforted him, ”My concubine, don't think too much, there have been a lot of things going on in the palace recently.

Elder Sister Rong, you don't have to advise me. I know that I'm a lowly person, and being able to take on this throne today is already a great favor for the emperor. How could I think too much about it? The concubine lightly wiped the tears from her cheeks and revealed a bitter smile.

Walking out of the back of the palace, Rong'er looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky. Perhaps it was because her heart was too cold, so she didn't feel cold at all. He stretched out his right hand from his sleeve to catch the snowflake, but the snowflake disappeared in a flash. Grief Luoluo had turned into desolation. All the people in this palace were real, all the women were so quiet in this palace that even if Zhuan An left, they wouldn't feel anyone's sadness. She raised her head to look at the snowflakes falling from the sky.

Rong'er returned to the palace, and Qiu E walked over. ”Mistress, you're back?” ”Eunuch Gu came just now. The emperor flipped your cards in the evening.”

”Just tell her I'm not feeling well and I can't sleep.” Rong'er instructed in a soft voice before he quickly entered the house. Qiu E looked at Xiaoqing, who was following behind her, sighing helplessly at her.

”Xiaoqing, this is the third time this month. I'm afraid the Emperor will blame you.” Qiu E sighed softly. ”How good is it for Master to keep rejecting the Emperor like this?”

Little Qing helplessly shook her head. ”Our master has hardened his heart to offend the emperor. Our master's temper can't be released once every ten years, but now that he's done with it, he's so stubborn that he can't be persuaded back.”

”Then? Should I ask my father-in-law to return to the office? ” Qiu E asked Little Qing.

”Go on, what else can you do after you've been instructed!” Little Qing said helplessly, ”Master is angry at the Emperor, so he pushed the Emperor to someone else's side. How could Master not understand this logic?”

”Sigh!” ”Alright, then I'll go.” She shook her head and headed for the door.
