I don’t know if it was to serve Concubine Shun. Concubine Dun served her two concubines well. In December, the emperor gave Chen Shiguan a favor and gave him a third-rank rank, and was allowed to take the salary {according to this title, he would enjoy the salary}.

According to the original official rank of the Imperial Hospital, the fifth rank of the court, the sixth rank of the imperial physician, the seventh rank of the imperial physician, the eighth rank of the official, and the ninth rank of the official.

Even the envoys of the Imperial Hospital were just the fifth rank, but the emperor gave Chen Shiguan the title of third rank, which was considered an unprecedented event, which shows that the emperor valued Chen Shiguan.

In addition, the emperor also specifically allowed Chen Shiguan to enjoy the court salary according to the third rank, so he even gave this title to a real title, not just a nominal title. This made Chen Shiguan even more special in the history of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Hospital.

Those who got this good thing were not only Chen Shiguan, but also the imperial physicians Luo Heng, Wu Shizhuo, and Wu Shizhuo, who had always followed Chen Shiguan to serve Concubine Dun and Shunfei's concubines, who were granted the fifth rank by the emperor.

In terms of rank, these two people are already equal to the rank of the Imperial Hospital. Although they do not have the rank of Chen Shiguan, only the rank of the fifth rank, and cannot earn their salary according to the rank of the fifth rank, this rank is also proud enough in the officialdom.

This incident caused quite a stir in the harems of the previous dynasties. Everyone thought that this was because Chen Shi was an official, and the three imperial physicians came to serve Concubine Shun and Concubine Dun together, which made the emperor happy and rewarded the three imperial physicians. Therefore, the emperor's grace was actually given to Concubine Shun and Concubine Dun.

Under such coaxing, Concubine Shun and Concubine Dun were also happy.

But in this joy, both of them also had hidden worries.

Concubine Dun’s hidden worries come in the month when she comes on time every month - who has a child can still have menstruation every month? And it’s not just coming, but every time, it’s just coming on time, and it doesn’t seem like a symptom of “lack of redness”.

The second thing about Concubine Dun's worries was that her uncle Mandou. As the general of Malanguan, Mandou was in charge of the matter in the imperial tomb area. This matter was so big that it could lose its head. When the previous son heard her mother's house sending a letter in, he vaguely begged her to speak kindly in front of the emperor and for her uncle.

Although her mother's family did not explain her words clearly, she vaguely realized that her uncle Mandou had done something fatal to do.

.

Concubine Dun was worried about her, and Concubine Shun could only describe her as “unset”.

Concubine Shun put all her hopes on this child this year. From the first day she lived in Chuxiu Palace, she saw the world worshiping Buddha, chanting scriptures, and doing all kinds of swearing wishes, just asking God to give her a prince.

The Empress Dowager also sent her to her every few days, or asked the aunt in the Empress Dowager's harem to send her a message, asking her to be successful this time, but she must have a prince.

The Empress Dowager was sick. She knew that the old lady was sent back to Beijing by the emperor from the Summer Resort in advance in September, which showed that her condition was not optimistic. Moreover, the Empress Dowager was at this age. Once the old lady at this age fell ill, no one dared to say whether she could get up.

So the Empress Dowager was anxious, almost forcing her; she herself was even more anxious. On the one hand, she was still worried whether she could give birth to a prince. While the Empress Dowager was still alive, she quickly occupied the position of the Empress and the Crown Prince.

At the same time, she had to worry even more. If the Empress Dowager had a few problems with her illness and had no support from the Empress Dowager, how could she live in this harem? Is there any chance for her to have this Chuxiu Palace, or the position of the central palace she had longed for for many years?

With this anxiety, her body will be in response to cause and effect, and something goes wrong.

Just a few days ago, on November 26, she was pregnant for almost half a year, and suddenly felt sore and had a pain in her waist and abdominal pain. She finally saw blood!

She had never given birth to a child, and she was afraid that the child had lost the symptoms!

She hurriedly told the imperial physician that it was Chen Shiguan who came to serve him personally.

After taking the pulse, Chen Shiguan comforted her with a smile and said that the child was fine...

She then breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Chen Shiguan very much. She gave Chen Shiguan a lot of money and wished she could give all her annual silver to Chen Shiguan - because Chen Shiguan's words were worth a thousand gold, and even more worth her life.

Chen Shiguan personally prescribed "Xinggui Decoction" for her, and used the medicine of Chuanxiong and Angelica to help her recuperate and treat abdominal pain and blood.

From November 26th to December, the bleeding finally stopped. She was very happy and then told Chen Shiguan to come.

Chen Shiguan still comforted her with a smile, "Please look at Empress Shun, you are not only missing the red color, but your belly is still happy, which naturally proves the diagnosis of Weichen. Empress Shun, you and the emperor, are both safe!"

Concubine Shun was so happy that she went to the Buddha to kowtow that night, and then reported the happy letter to the Empress Dowager.

Since the winter has begun, the Empress Dowager's health has become worse. The Holy Birthday in November has been barely passed. The Luhong of Concubine Shun was born on the day after the Holy Birthday of the Empress Dowager. He always called the Empress Dowager and Concubine Shun to feel a little ominous. This time it finally proved that it was a false alarm, so he could not report back to the Empress Dowager and asked her to enjoy it with her!

After receiving the letter, the Empress Dowager clapped her hands happily and said, "I have hope. Concubine Shun finally told me that she has hope this time! This child is so blessed that he must be a prince and will definitely be able to inherit the throne in the future!"

.

Concubine Shun and Concubine Dun, including the Empress Dowager, all transitioned from the 41st year of Qianlong to the 42nd year of Qianlong with their hope for a new life.

The Empress Dowager seemed to have recovered from this hope. From the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, she participated in all the festivals in the palace like in previous years, with the emperor.

Whether it was the Empress Dowager's celebration ceremony on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family banquet of Chonghua Palace, or even the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, moving to the Old Mansion to the Old Mansion, watching the show in Tongliyuan, the old lady was full of energy and could not see her sickness at all.

But who expected that in just a few days, on the 23rd day of the first lunar month, the Empress Dowager suddenly became sicker.

The emperor personally went to Changchun Immortal Hall to serve the Empress Dowager.

However, even the filial piety of the emperor cannot stop God from taking the old lady away in the first month of the year. Just one hour later, that is, when the empress dowager was killed.

"The emperor called out a cry of sorrow, and shouted countless times. He picked up the crown and tassels, changed his clothes, ordered the Huangyu to serve the Empress Dowager, respectfully worshipped the Empress Dowager Daxing and returned to the palace. He cried without stopping. First, go to the eastern side hall of Shoukang Palace to wait. At the beginning of the year, the Empress Dowager Daxing and went to the Cining Palace. He paused, dressed in white, knelt to welcome him outside the left gate of Yongkang, and personally supported the Empress Dowager Daxi at the main hall of the Cining Palace. The Ministry of Rites reported that the auspicious time for the promotion of the coffin, Yu Chen Yijia and Zhang Mu set up a offering."

"At that time, the Empress Dowager of the Great Hand will be buried with all her rituals and clothes, and she will be sincere in her courtesy. The emperor cried bitterly and burst into tears and kept cheering. After the burial, she will hold a gift and offer food, and the food will be served as a meal."
