The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

As for the princess standing in the way?

Wan Linlang chuckled disdainfully.

For someone who will die sooner or later, this is just a way to save her a place in advance.

Soon, an epidemic broke out in Michigan.

The first thing King Jing thought of was the reminder in Xie Run’s letter.

"After a severe drought, there will inevitably be a major disaster. I hope Your Highness will not take it lightly. I also hope Your Highness will take care of your health and not shy away from seeking medical treatment. I've heard that there are many miraculous healers among the people. If you encounter any problems, you can search for them widely. This will not only protect yourself, but also benefit the people..."

Xie Run did not dare to talk about politics, nor did he dare to directly point out that an epidemic would break out after the drought.

The content of the letter focused on expressing concern for King Jing's health, and only briefly extended the discussion to mention other disasters that might occur after the drought.

He pointed out a way for King Jing to find a miracle doctor among the people.

These few casual words now have some weight and warmth in King Jing's heart.

Now that the epidemic has broken out, King Jing is not caught off guard like in his previous life, but is handling everything in an orderly manner.

He even immediately sent a team to search for miracle doctors in the countryside to ask for prescriptions for the epidemic.

It saves a lot of unnecessary processes.

But as for things in this world, man's plans are always out of control.

The first person to find Wan Linlang was not King Jing, but Jiang Baobao, the daughter of Governor Jiang Bin.

Jiang Baobao was a hot-tempered and arrogant person by nature. Without saying a word, she had Wan Linlang brought to the provincial medical department.

Like Wan Linlang, doctors from all over the country were also brought here.

There were at least twenty or thirty people scattered around.

She was armed with a whip and had two guards with her.

"If there are any of you who can cure the plague, I will reward you handsomely. But if there are any who deceive, don't blame me for being unrecognizable with my whip."

As he said this, he whipped the ground with a whip, making a sound that made people feel painful.

Wan Linlang's heart sank.

This is something that never happened in my previous life.

In her previous life, why did Miss Jiang suddenly show up here when she stayed in the backyard and showed off her power?

What on earth happened?!

In fact, Wan Linlang had already realized that something was wrong when King Jing came to Mizhou early to provide disaster relief.

But she just thought that it was too late for her to be reborn.

But I didn't expect that one wrong step would lead to all the wrong steps.

This Miss Jiang is notorious in Mizhou City for being arrogant and willful.

Wan Linlang had lived in the capital in her previous life, and she knew best the virtues of such pampered noble ladies.

If she couldn't come up with a cure now, but could come up with one later, Miss Jiang would definitely accuse her of deliberately delaying the punishment.

But if she did this.

Who should get the credit?

Wan Linlang didn't think that the arrogant Miss Jiang would take credit for her.

If it doesn't work, then Wan Linlang will end up losing more than he gains.

Moreover, Miss Jiang is a girl from a well-off family. Why would she go to the surrounding countryside to look for doctors for no reason?

Wan Linlang could only think of one reason.

King Jing.

Sure enough, when Wan Linlang said that she had several prescriptions for treating the epidemic, Miss Jiang immediately took her to see King Jing.

In the governor's mansion, Wan Linlang met King Jing again.

When she saw the handsome face that she had been thinking about day and night, all the memories of her past and present lives came to her mind, and Wan Linlang stood there in a daze.

Miss Jiang saw everything, showing a bit of anger and secretly cursing the bitch.

King Jing is the son of the emperor, and how dare a mere female doctor covet him!

When the epidemic is over, let’s see how she deals with this little bitch!

Wan Linlang deliberately delayed for two days, waiting until the scale of the outbreak had grown much larger, before "developing" a prescription to treat the epidemic.

Once the recipe is used, the effect is excellent.

The epidemic in Michigan was quickly suppressed.

Another month had passed, the disaster relief was completely completed, and King Jing was ready to return to the capital.

Everything was just as Wan Linlang had worried.

In this disaster relief effort, the real hero was Miss Jiang.

It was because she helped King Jing find a "famous doctor" who developed a prescription in time to treat the epidemic.

I don’t know what kind of agreement the Jiang family and King Jing reached. When King Jing returned to Beijing this time, he specially brought Miss Jiang with him to take credit for her.

Wan Linlang was just a young female doctor who offered a prescription for treating the epidemic.

It is not even as good as the life-saving grace he showed to King Jing in his previous life.

Everything Wan Linlang did became Miss Jiang's wedding dress.

She was about to vomit blood.

Seeing that King Jing was about to return to the capital, he only asked her what reward she wanted and had no intention of taking her back to the capital with him.

Wan Linlang can only ask for benefits herself.

"I love you, Your Highness, and wish to serve you for the rest of my life. I beg you to grant my wish."

She is young now, with delicate skin, and doesn't need much dressing up. With her calm and gentle aura, she has her own charm.

After hearing Wan Linlang's request, King Jing frowned at first, then asked, "Do you want to be my woman?"

Wan Linlang gritted her teeth and agreed, "Yes! This girl is sincere..."

King Jing waved his hand, feeling that it was boring, and said, "Okay!"

Just agreed.

Based on Wan Linlang's merits, it is not excessive to reward her with the position of a concubine.

Wan Linlang actually still wanted to struggle.

In the previous life, I was at least a concubine, but in this life, I was only a concubine.

It’s even worse than my previous life.

If it weren't for the fact that Prince Jing would ascend the throne one day and she could sit on the throne, Wan Linlang would never have thought of entering Prince Jing's mansion.

And he entered the mansion in this manner!

Now we can only endure temporarily and plan for the future.

Jingwang Mansion in the capital——

The news that King Jing was returning had already been heard.

The mansion seemed to be injected with vitality, and people everywhere began to move.

The princess had the yard cleaned every day and decorations added everywhere, pretending to be looking forward to her husband's return.

Xie Run was eating melon seeds with Dan Tao privately. "The princess must be too idle. She needs to find some fun."

Dan Tao said helplessly: "Master...be careful with your words!"

Xie Run smiled and was about to continue teasing when a little girl suddenly came to report.

"Thank you, Concubine Shu, your family is here!"

Xie Run's eyes lit up. "You came so quickly? Where is he now?"

Ever since King Jing left, Xie Run has been trying to find a way to get the Xie family to visit so that he can settle Yuli down.

She sent someone to deliver a letter to the Xie family, but she didn't know whether the Xie family would come.

Now that I hear the news, I am naturally happy.

"In Qingsongyuan, they are drinking tea in the princess's courtyard."

Xie Run supported his slightly bulging belly and stood up. "Then we will go now and thank the princess by the way."

Xie Run first informed the princess about inviting the Xie family to visit.

Now the princess invited the Xie family to have tea, which was to give face to Xie Run.

Xie Runde understands gratitude.

On the way, Xie Run asked the little girl, "How many people came? Who are they?"

"Only one person came. I heard it was Miss Xie, your elder sister, Master Xie."

Xie Run froze in his tracks, "Who are you talking about?"

The little girl paused and whispered, "Your sister..."

The Xie family is not large, and there are only three descendants in this generation.

Eldest sister Xie Jiang, second brother Xie Jing and Xie Run.

My parents are still able to take charge of the family. My eldest brother is now preparing for the imperial examination next spring, while my eldest sister has already been engaged and is waiting to be married.

After Xie Run handed over the letter, he thought of his parents or his elder brother, but he never thought that his elder sister came to the capital alone.

How is this going? !

Thank you, father and mother, for being relieved?

When they arrived at Qingsong Courtyard, Xie Run first greeted the princess before he had time to look at Xie Jiang.

In a trance, she felt that the woman in front of her was very strange.

Her appearance is exactly the same as Xie Run’s elder sister, but her temperament is completely different, as if she has a different soul.

In an instant, a lot of unfamiliar information flooded into Xie Run's mind.

It's all about her eldest sister.

Xie Run fell into a long silence.

The princess thought that Xie Jiang could not relax in Qingsong Courtyard, so she kept Xie Jiang for a cup of tea and asked Xie Run to take Xie Jiang to Linxuan Pavilion for entertainment.

On the way, Xie Run said nothing, while Xie Jiang took in everything in Prince Jing's Mansion without making any expression.

Arriving at Linxuan Pavilion, tea was laid out before him, and Xie Run suddenly realized something. "Sister, please sit down."

Xie Jiang had already sat down, his tone generous and cheerful.

"It's been a long time since we last met. You've changed a lot, little sister."

Xie Run looked at Xie Jiang and said meaningfully, "Since we met this time, you've changed a lot. I almost didn't recognize you."

Xie Jiang had been here for more than half a month, and he was already adept at dealing with such talk.

She chuckled, "There have been a lot of changes in my family recently, so I have to change."

As he said this, he pretended to sigh.

Xie Run then asked, "Did you come to the capital alone?"

Xie Jiang nodded and said calmly, "My second brother is suffering from acclimatization problems and is very ill. I couldn't wait for anyone, so I asked him to get off the bus halfway and find a clinic to recuperate. I came here first."

Xie Run: “…”

As expected of a new soul, this elder sister is really tough.

"Big sister, do you have a place to stay now? It's not appropriate for a woman like you to always stay in an inn..."

Xie Jiang said calmly: "I came to Beijing to see you and also to take care of my own affairs."

"Don't worry, I have a place to stay."

Xie Run had a lot of new plots in his mind, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Eldest sister said that there have been many changes in the family. What happened?"

After hearing this, Xie Jiang looked at Xie Run with a little more pity in his eyes.

"Before my parents came, they told me to tell them that they were incompetent and couldn't protect you. They could only send you to the palace as a concubine... You won't regret this for the rest of your life."

As he spoke, Xie Jiang took out two silver notes worth one thousand taels from his arms and handed them to Xie Run.

Xie Run pretended to be surprised, "Where did you get this money from, big sister?"

Xie Jiang: "My parents are worried that you will have a hard time in the palace, so they specially put this together for you."

"I was originally going to give it to you on the day you moved into the mansion, but you were so angry that day that you refused to take anything..."

The original owner, Xie Run, became furious on the day he was forcibly sent to Prince Jing's Mansion.

She hated her parents for being heartless and her lover for being disloyal. She wanted to completely cut off all ties with them and naturally refused to accept the Xie family's money.

This made it difficult for Xie Run to make a living by relying on monthly salary in the early days.

Xie Run still had to live in the palace and could not do without the support of his natal family, especially now that his own sister had a promising future, so he signaled the maid to accept her.

Xie Jiang then told the story of what happened to the Xie family after Xie Run entered the palace.

"Once you entered the palace, the county magistrate didn't dare to force his way in. But two days later, the Song family suddenly came to cancel the engagement, and I was so angry that I banged my head against the wall..."

When Xie Jiang talked about how he banged his head against the wall in anger because of his broken engagement, his expression was very strange.

Because with her personality, she would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

But now I have to admit that I am a love-brained person. After being broken off my engagement, I just hit my head against the wall and committed suicide.

Xie Jiang suppressed his nausea.

"After dying once, people become much more sober."

The Song family was the family that had an early engagement with Xie Jiang.

Xie Run: ...

This sounds familiar. Did she seem to have said this to King Jing?

Xie Jiang continued, "I wasn't indulging in love. I suddenly became interested in medicine. I happened to meet a living Shennong and studied medicine with him for a while."

"A few days ago, my master announced the emperor's intention to come and treat the Duke of Zhenguo's chronic illness, so I followed him to the capital."

Xie Run felt a pang of annoyance when listening to this incompatible heroine-themed plot.

Yes, her elder sister also had a soul traveling through time.

And she was holding a script of an old-fashioned overbearing princess running away with the baby.

In her previous life, she was a female military doctor on the battlefield. After traveling back in time, her engagement was broken off and she was drugged and murdered. She had an affair with a big shot one night and gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.

In the script, Xie Jiang thrives in the capital with his excellent medical skills, and takes his twins, a boy and a girl, to find their father for a romantic relationship.

The content is quite complicated, but the core is simple.

Raising a baby, helping the baby find a father, falling in love, and slapping the face of vicious supporting characters by the way, it's so fun all the way.

Xie Jiang said that he accompanied his master to the Duke of Chengguo's Mansion in Beijing for treatment, but it was actually half true and half false.

There was no so-called master at all. The person who revealed the imperial edict was Xie Jiang himself.

She went to Beijing to cure the Duke of Zhenguo's chronic illness and successfully became famous in the capital.

Afterwards, she sought medical treatment everywhere, and a man appeared beside her. The two often clashed, and slowly sparks of love arose.

Xie Run couldn't help but stare at Xie Jiang's lower abdomen.

Oh, I forgot that Xie Jiang didn’t know the script and had no idea that she would get pregnant and give birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

To be honest, Xie Run was quite envious of Xie Jiang's copy.

Xie Jiang felt a little confused by Xie Run's look, so he took the opportunity to ask about Xie Run's pregnancy.

"I only found out when I arrived at the palace that my younger sister has been promoted to concubine because she's pregnant. I don't know how many months old the baby is, though."

Xie Run smiled and said, "Three and a half months."

Xie Jiang: "Although I've only studied medicine for a few months, I'm still a family member. Why don't I take your pulse?"

Dan Tao and Xiao Shu both felt something was wrong.

Nowadays, if you haven't studied medicine for more than ten or twenty years, you are not qualified to take people's pulse.

The ones who checked Xie Run's pulse were all imperial physicians. There was no need for Xie Jiang, an apprentice who had only studied for a few months, to check his pulse, right?

Xie Run knew that his current sister was an excellent doctor and with the help of the plot, he agreed without hesitation.

"That's right, I also want Sister to show me."

Xie Jiang placed his hand on Xie Run's pulse with familiarity, and after a moment, he understood.

"You're in good health, unharmed by the previous fall. Both you and the fetus are safe. Take good care of yourself and exercise regularly to facilitate your future delivery."

Xie Run listened attentively.

After a while, Xie Run returned to the main topic.

"Why did the Song family cancel the engagement?"

This is also something that never happened in my previous life.

Not right either.

In his previous life, Xie Run hanged himself on the first day he entered the palace. The Xie family was disliked by King Jing, and the county magistrate's family was eyeing them covetously.

I'm afraid that before the Song family can even cancel the engagement, the Xie family will collapse on their own.

All in all, her elder sister has opened up a separate plot line.

The male protagonist doesn't have to catch King Jing and pull him out.
