The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Because the princess received a warning from King Jing, she paid special attention to the pregnant women, so the situation remained calm.

King Jing originally said that the disaster relief would only take half a month.

Now half a month has passed, and King Jing still shows no sign of returning.

Fang Yuaner is already preparing to move into the new yard.

Xia Chiyuan doesn't need much decoration, and it can be lived in after a little repair.

Fang Yuaner was a person who wanted the best food, clothing and shelter, and had long been dissatisfied with the small courtyard in Jinxiuyuan.

As soon as Xia Chiyuan became available for occupancy, she couldn't wait to prepare to move in with her people.

Although she discovered her pregnancy before Xie Run, it was less than a month at that time.

In terms of months, the baby in her belly is one month younger than Xie Run's.

We were in a hurry to move the yard, but of course it was not yet three months pregnant and the fetus was not yet firmly settled.

Fang Yuaner is confident in herself and does things in a lively manner.

Unexpectedly, something went wrong that night after they moved the yard, so they quickly called the imperial physician.

Now that she is a concubine of the royal palace, she is qualified to call the imperial physician.

After a lot of trouble, the imperial physician said that she had a miscarriage and needed to stay in bed and rest well.

When asked the reason, they either said they were too excited or too tired. No one could give a definite answer.

Fang Yuaner was so angry that she couldn't breathe.

"A bunch of quacks! I don't even know if I'm exhausted or not!?"

Fang Yuaner has always been cautious. She only spoke about moving the yard, and the maids and old women did the whole process. How could she be tired?

As for the claim that the fetus was affected because of the excitement of moving, that is simply nonsense.

As soon as this news spread, Fang Yuaner instantly became a laughing stock in the backyard.

Everyone was saying that she was a merchant's daughter who had risen to prominence as a concubine, but was so overjoyed that she got pregnant. It was really laughable.

It was even more lively than the story about King Jing walking away in anger from Linxuan Pavilion.

Fang Yuaner lost face, how could she not be angry?

"Someone must be plotting against me!"

Fang Yuaner felt that she was being murdered, but she could not find any evidence.

After searching for a long time, they finally only punished the two maids and barely suppressed the matter.

With her previous experience as a lesson, Xie Run immediately sent someone to pass a message to the princess.

"My mistress said that the renovations to Chunshan Courtyard can be done slowly. She plans to wait until next year after the baby is born to prevent any further accidents."

The princess didn't agree immediately. "It's not nice to not move. Let's wait until the prince comes back to discuss this matter."

If the princess agreed to this, I'm afraid the prince would blame her.

After this incident, everyone calmed down.

Concubine Yun took the opportunity to quietly move to another courtyard.

She used her poor health as an excuse and didn't even serve any wine. She seemed very low-key, which made Fang Yuaner's high profile stand out even more.

This made Fang Yuaner very angry again.

After hearing the news from various hospitals, Xie Run felt confused.

"Since Sister Fang became pregnant, her temper has become even worse."

She gets angry easily over such a small matter, which is unlike her before.

Is it because she became a concubine that she started to get cocky?

When Xie Run was free, he discovered something interesting.

It was said that Concubine An was poisoned by Concubine Ning and had to stay in bed to take care of her pregnancy, and she couldn't even get out of bed.

No one in the mansion has seen her since her last accident.

After all, she was pregnant with King Jing's child, but she lived like an invisible person.

But today, Xie Run had nothing to do, so he went for a walk in a nearby bamboo forest, and unexpectedly ran into Concubine An who was supported by a maid.

Concubine An has a rosy complexion, a steady breath, and a slightly protruding belly, which shows that she is living a good life.

The tire is fully seated.

The two men met, and Concubine An had nowhere to hide, so she had to bring her people to pay her respects to Xie Run.

Concubine An: "This servant greets Concubine Xie."

Xie Run looked at her slightly bulging belly and quickly raised his hand, "Don't be so polite, sit down first."

Concubine An smiled softly and let the maid help her sit down.

Xie Run: "Sister An, how are you doing lately? I heard you've been taking care of your pregnancy, so I don't want to disturb you."

Originally, Concubine An entered the mansion before Xie Run, so Xie Run should call her sister.

But now that Xie Run has become a concubine, the status quo is reversed.

She had to call Concubine An "sister" according to the rules.

In fact, Concubine An is five years older than Xie Run.

Xie Run's shouting sounded rather awkward.

Concubine An smiled shyly, like the buds blooming on the branches in spring, revealing a freshness and tenderness.

"I'm feeling much better now. Thank you for your concern, Concubine."

"I see you're already showing your pregnancy, but I can't remember how many months it is."

Mainly because the concubine An was an invisible person.

Some time ago, there was a fierce fight in the backyard over the position of concubine, and no one paid any attention to her.

Concubine An stroked her belly and smiled gently, "It's been three months. I eat a lot and stay locked up in the yard all day, so I gained weight quickly. That's why I came out for a walk."

Xie Run also laughed, "Before I was diagnosed with pregnancy, I also gained a few pounds. At that time, I also suspected that I was pregnant, but I have never seen anyone start to gain weight after one or two months of pregnancy. It was a joke."

Concubine An also laughed.

"But eating too much is not good either, so you still have to be restrained."

"That's right." Concubine An nodded. "The nanny who takes care of me said that pregnant women should not just take supplements, otherwise they will have a difficult delivery."

Mammy?

When Xie Run heard these two words, his heart moved slightly, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"It's getting late. If it's any later, my girls will get anxious."

Concubine An immediately stood up and said, "Then I will not bother Concubine Xie any more."

Xie Run nodded slightly, took Dan Tao's hand and left.

On the way, she asked Dan Tao: "Did you hear anything?"

Dan Tao: "...the nanny that Master An mentioned?"

Xie Run walked slowly, as if he was just taking a stroll. "The palace has only hired a nanny once. That was when the Second Young Master fell ill, and the princess went to the palace herself to ask the Imperial Concubine for help."

But the second young master died so quickly that there was no news about this nanny.

Xie Run originally thought that he had been sent somewhere else by the princess.

Unexpectedly, she was arranged to be here with Concubine An.

Xie Run saw through it, "It was the princess who was protecting Concubine An's pregnancy. I'm afraid the method of feigning illness to nourish the pregnancy was also taught to her by the princess."

Concubine An has no favor and no family background.

If no one helps to cover it up, it won't be hidden for a few days.

The only person in the palace who could protect her quietly was the princess.

Their princess is really a good mistress.

Dan Tao misunderstood and frowned, "Could it be that the princess has taken a fancy to the baby in Concubine An's belly? Do you want to adopt her and raise her in the future?"

"But the child is only three months old now, and we don't even know whether it's a boy or a girl." Dan Tao analyzed secretly: "It's not as good as the eldest young master in front of me."

Ever since Concubine Ning fell from power and the eldest son was taken to be raised by the princess, rumors began to spread in the backyard.

Most of them said that the princess was planning to register the eldest son as her legitimate son.

But after half a month, the eldest son had moved to the front yard and the princess had not made any move.

Some people said that they just put it behind them, while others felt sorry for the princess.

Xie Run was stunned. "Probably not."

Given the princess's proud nature, she probably wouldn't be willing to adopt someone else's child.

"If not, why would the princess be willing to secretly look after Concubine An?" Dan Tao expressed her incomprehension.

This is a thankless job.

Even if Concubine An had carried the baby well and given birth to the child, it would not have been of much benefit to the princess.

But if anything unexpected happens, it will all be the princess's fault.

Xie Run: "She's probably the princess... She's actually a soft-hearted person."

Dan Tao couldn't refute this statement.

At least since entering the mansion, the princess has never deliberately targeted her master.

Stepping on Concubine Ning was her own fault, and it was also due to previous grudges.

A few days passed, and there was still no news of King Jing returning home.

However, there was a quarrel between the new concubines Han and Li in the mansion.

It turned out that the maid of Concubine Han went to the main kitchen to fetch food. On the way, she was bumped or hit by the maid of Concubine Li, and a lot of food was spilled when she brought it back.

Concubine Han could not bear any injustice, so she immediately took people to knock on the door of Qingzhu Pavilion.

Although Concubine Li was well-read, she was not good at verbal arguments. After being scolded by Concubine Han, she turned around and took people to the princess's courtyard to seek justice.

Concubine Li is a cold and proud beauty.

But there is no reason to endure being slapped.

With this complaint, the princess naturally had to stand up and uphold justice.

He first reprimanded Concubine Han, and then gave Concubine Li some things as a comfort.

This time, the discord between Concubine Han and Concubine Li began to be exposed.

—Mizhou ten days ago

Wan Linlang sat in a simple courtyard grinding medicine with a calm expression.

Due to the severe drought for several days, the ground has cracked and the air is filled with scorching heat.

A teenager suddenly came jogging in from outside carrying a backpack.

"Sister Linlang, it's done!"

"Drink some water first." Wan Linlang poured the ground medicine into the jar. "Have you heard anything about King Jing?"

The young boy scooped up two mouthfuls of water and drank them quickly before he had time to speak.

"I found out it's in the governor's residence." He said with some difficulty, "But King Jing's residence is full of soldiers and officers. How can we get close?"

"Why do you want to get closer?" Wan Linlang's voice was clear and light, full of confidence.

"In two days, King Jing will send someone to your door."

Her simplicity is different from that of Li Shiqie.

The former is indifference, the latter is coldness and arrogance.

The young man actually didn't quite believe Wan Linlang's words. Instead, he felt sad when he thought about what he had done today.

"Sister Linlang... can you really cure the epidemic?"

Wan Linlang then raised her eyes and looked at him, but there was no emotion in her look.

"Just follow my instructions and don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

The young man was choked, but his heart was depressed, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

The boy is a native of Michigan.

When his family suffered a disaster and could no longer survive, he ran to the provincial capital to beg for food.

Wan Linlang performed a favor while seeing the patient, saving the young man's life and gaining his loyalty.

Originally, the young man was supposed to be loyal to his master and do whatever his master said.

But what happened today was beyond his expectations.

Wan Linlang actually asked him to secretly throw the clothes of the sick people into the resettlement home!

There were disaster victims living there, at least hundreds of people.

Some people may have traveled thousands of miles to the provincial capital of Michigan, thinking they had found a chance to survive.

But if an epidemic breaks out, the entire resettlement center... no, the entire Michigan State will become a living hell.

The boy is not a good person.

In order to survive while fleeing the disaster, he robbed food from women and children, attacked soldiers, and even killed people.

But I have never done anything so damning!

After returning, he felt guilty and couldn't help but ask Wan Linlang if he could really cure the epidemic.

Wan Linlang said that she could cure the epidemic, and now she just wanted to expand the epidemic so that King Jing would pay attention to it and come to her for medical treatment in person.

She could also naturally show favor to King Jing.

He had agreed to it at first, but now that he had done it, he felt extremely guilty.

In order to show favor to King Jing, she put the lives of millions of people in Mizhou in danger. Sister Linlang's heart... is so vicious.

Now the young man saw Wan Linlang's indifferent look again, and he became even more frightened and wanted to pack up and run away.

Wan Linlang glanced at the guilty boy. She had seen through everything, but she pretended not to know.

That night, the boy packed up his things and ran away.

After running for two days, he was about to leave Mizhou City when he suddenly broke out in a rash.

Then came high fever, vomiting...the symptoms were exactly the same as those of the people who had contracted the epidemic in the resettlement center.

However, after struggling for two days, he took his last breath with his eyes open, his eyes full of disbelief, fear and anger.

Wan Linlang was not at all curious about what the boy had experienced.

Everything is under control, why be surprised?

After being reborn, she always wants to have a smoother journey than in her previous life.

In her previous life, Wan Linlang was favored by King Jing, ranked as Consort De, and gave birth to a prince.

Unfortunately, the treacherous concubine (Fang Yuaner) was in power, wielding power and dictatorial, and framed and targeted her in every possible way. Later, she even instigated the emperor to become suspicious of her and had her executed.

His son was also demoted to a commoner.

She was obviously only one step away from becoming the queen, but unfortunately she was defeated by the bitch Fang!

In her next life, she will definitely ascend to the throne of queen and trample all the women in the world under her feet!

Wan Linlang was reborn a little late.

King Jing came to Mizhou ahead of time to provide disaster relief, and the disaster was far less serious than in the previous life.

For Yu Wanlinlang, time is running out.

According to the speed at which King Jing provided disaster relief, the epidemic that followed the drought in the previous life might not have broken out.

If there had been no epidemic, Wan Linlang would not have been able to save King Jing's life, and King Jing would not have promised her the position of concubine. She would not have been favored as soon as she entered King Jing's mansion.

If there are no opportunities, you can only create them yourself.

For Yu Wanlinlang, this is not considered evil.

After all, when the epidemic broke out in the previous life, hundreds of thousands of people died in Michigan.

By doing this, she is only bringing the epidemic forward and causing some people who deserve to die earlier.

Do not!

She would step forward immediately after the outbreak of the epidemic, come up with life-saving medical prescriptions, and show kindness to King Jing and the people of Mizhou.

As long as she operates properly, fewer people will die in this life than in the previous one.

The people of Michigan should also thank her for preventing some casualties in Michigan.

It was because she brainwashed herself in this way that Wan Linlang felt completely at peace with herself.

Originally, she planned to take the opportunity to let King Jing get sick and repeat the life-saving grace of her previous life.

Unfortunately, the situation is different.

King Jing had never been infected with any disease in this life, and it was very difficult for her to even find out where King Jing lived, let alone let King Jing get sick and take the opportunity to save him.

It's not bad though.

In this life, she was not going to serve King Jing and be an unknown and insignificant woman.

She wanted to follow King Jing to the capital on the strength of her merit in curing the epidemic, receive rewards from the emperor, and then be welcomed into King Jing's palace openly.

After all, I'm reborn, and my treatment can't be worse than in my previous life.

In her previous life, she was a concubine, and in this life, she will become a concubine!
