The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Prince Jing now has only one son, the eldest son, and Concubine Ning dreams of having the eldest son become the crown prince of Prince Jing.

Fang Yuaner found out that since the eldest son was enlightened, Concubine Ning had sent a lot of money to the Ning family. She was probably trying to support her natal family so that she could help make the eldest son the crown prince in the future.

After all this, the little money that Concubine Ning had was definitely not enough.

If a good recipe that can make money appeared at this time, Concubine Ning would definitely be tempted.

As long as Concubine Ning has a change of heart, she will not be able to escape Fang Yuaner's plan.

Fang Yuaner looked up and asked, "What's the reaction from Linxuan Pavilion?"

Qiuxiang: "I sent someone to tell you to be careful with the people around you, for fear that someone on your side might mistakenly think that the news was leaked."

Fang Yuaner shook her head. "I overestimated Xie Run. Turns out she's just a naive person. She really thought her fences were tight."

Fang Yuan'er originally planned to reveal the news about the recipe to Concubine Ning in private, but who knew that after she went to Linxuan Pavilion, the news spread throughout the courtyard.

She only told Qiuxiang, and there was no way anyone else could know.

Then there must be something wrong with Xie Run's subordinates.

Fang Yuan'er originally didn't want to inform Xie Run, but just then the little maidservant in the corridor came over with a message, "Master, Master Xie has sent a maid to deliver tonics, all of which are blood-tonifying and qi-boosting."

After Fang Yuan'er had a miscarriage, she needed a lot of medicinal herbs to replenish her blood and nourish her body. As a result, Concubine Ning secretly manipulated and deliberately blocked her supply of medicinal herbs.

Trapped in the backyard, Fang Yuan'er couldn't buy the herbs she needed even though she had a lot of money in her hands.

It was only after Xie Run sent her medicine several times that her urgent need was resolved.

"This Xie Run... is really naive."

Fang Yuan'er chuckled and suddenly changed her tone, "Qiuxiang, go to Linxuan Pavilion and give them a warning. Tell them that the news didn't leak from us."

Qiuxiang was a little surprised, but still agreed.

She originally thought that based on her master's personality, she would not remind her to thank her master unnecessarily.

After receiving the news, Xie Run was silent for a long time.

She believed that Fang Yuaner would not lie to her, mainly because there was no need to do so.

Fang Yuaner herself is very proud and looks down on her own silly, innocent and pure ancient character.

Even though she pretended to be kind during several greetings, Xie Run could still see the occasional hint of silence and disgust that flashed across her face.

Of course, Xie Run himself was secretly ecstatic.

Fang Yuaner was so sure that there was something wrong with Xie Run's people, which clearly conveyed a message.

She had a plan for the soap recipe leak.

Thinking of this, Xie Run couldn't help but sit up straight and feel refreshed.

Could it be that Fang Yuaner is planning to plot against someone?

If so, is she the princess or... Concubine Ning?

Xie Run thought for a long time and asked someone to call Yueyaer over.

After staying in Linxuan Pavilion for a while, Yueyaer grew taller and fatter visibly, and her whole person became much more generous, especially her eyes, which were particularly bright.

Yueyaer stood aside obediently, "Master, what is the matter that you called me here for?"

Xie Run asked slowly, "Yesterday, when you and your sister Yuli went to the kitchen to pick up food, did you meet anyone on the way? What did you say?"

Yueyaer spoke clearly, "Sister Yuli and I met Sister Luoshuang at the kitchen door and asked how she was..."

Yueyaer actually remembered the entire scene and the conversation between the several people.

Xie Run was surprised and said, "I didn't know you had this ability."

However, after listening to Yueyaer's words, Xie Run did not find anything unusual. It seemed that the news was not leaked from Yuli and Yueyaer.

Then only Xiao Shu, Xiao Ci and Ma Pozi are left.

Xie Run said to Yueyaer, "Yueyaer, I want to give you a task."

Yueyaer blinked, showing some subtle excitement.

"I will never refuse to serve my master even if it means death."

"Don't keep talking about death. It's unlucky." Xie Run simply said, "You and Ma Po live in the same room. If you have time, please help me check on her and see if there's anything wrong with her. If not, then there's no need to report it. If there is... you'll know."

Yueyaer nodded, "I know. Sister Dantao also reminded me of this before."

"That's fine. It's right to listen to your two sisters."

Not long after, King Jing arrived.

Xie Run greeted King Jing with a smile.

When Prince Jing helped her up, she quietly took out the purse in her hand and said, "Your Highness, the purse is embroidered..."

King Jing raised his eyebrows and subconsciously reached out to take it, but Xie Run dodged it.

Xie Run smiled sweetly, her eyes full of spirit, "Your Highness, please stop looking down on my poor embroidery skills, or I won't give you this purse."

King Jing said calmly, "Okay, I don't mind."

Xie Runtian handed the purse to King Jing.

King Jing took it, took a look at it, clicked his tongue, and said nothing more.

Xie Run: “…”

It would be better to express your dislike directly.

During the meal, King Jing noticed Xie Run looking at him angrily, and asked knowingly, "Are you feeling unwell today, Sui Sui?"

Xie Run was stunned when he was suddenly called by his nickname.

"Your Highness...you, how do you know my nickname?" Xie Run's fair cheeks flushed, as if the finest rouge was smeared on white jade.

King Jing said with a smile: "Didn't you say that last time?"

Last time?

Xie Run tried hard to recall that when she was with King Jing, she was very cautious in what she said.

When you are not careful... it is probably on the bed.

Xie Run's face turned even redder.

It's not her fault that she has a bad memory.

She quickly changed the subject: "Prince, please eat the food quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold!"

King Jing nodded seriously.

In the evening, his hot breath fell on Xie Run's neck, and his voice was as deep as sand, "What were you thinking about during dinner that made your face so red?"

Xie Run said stubbornly: "I didn't think of anything."

"Really?" King Jing's hoarse voice was full of temptation.

There was only a candle left outside the curtain, and the orange-yellow candlelight fell on his angular features, as if covering them with a layer of charming light.

Xie Run stared with wide eyes.

Perhaps it was her beauty that gave her courage, she actually raised her hands and hooked them around King Jing's neck, whispering a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, King Jing became even more ferocious.

After a satisfying meal, King Jing stroked her hair with his large hand and said, "I'm afraid I'll leave you alone in the cold for a while. You better stay in Linxuan Pavilion and don't run around."

Xie Run was curious, but didn't ask any more questions.

I was just secretly surprised.

Did King Jing... take her words from that day to heart?

These words actually meant to protect her.
