The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

The attendant said, "Your Majesty, how bad is this palace these days? Perhaps Bai Baolin wanted to be lazy and used this excuse to come visit Xi Chongrong."

"That's right." Concubine Jing Shu said calmly, "There's no need to stop her. Just let her go. Just send someone to listen carefully to what they said."

"Yes."

As soon as Bai Fu stepped into Xi Chongrong's palace, she felt a chill coming from all directions.

That strange feeling of familiarity awakened the memories hidden deep in her soul.

When she was terminally ill, her palace looked like this too.

It's like the Guanghan Palace on the cold moon, shrouded in cold air all the time. No matter how many quilts you cover yourself with, you can never feel warm.

The chill rushed from the soles of the feet to the forehead, freezing the warmth away bit by bit.

Bai Fu stepped into the main hall stiffly.

He was led into the bedroom by Xi Chongrong's palace maid.

When Bai Fu saw Xi Chongrong, she had no expression, but Cai Yue who was following behind her gasped.

Bai Fu remained calm and said, "I heard that Sister Xi Chongrong was ill, so I came to visit her. I just hope she doesn't mind me bothering her."

Xi Chongrong's face looked ugly, as if a demon had sucked all his energy away.

She glanced at Bai Fu with a forced smile, "You are the first living person to set foot in my palace. You don't despise me, so how dare I despise you?"

Bai Fu felt a chill in her heart when she saw her gloomy eyes.

Xi Chongrong: "They say one doesn't visit a temple for no reason. Bai Baolin came to visit me, is he really just here to visit me?"

Bai Fu smiled faintly: "That's natural."

Xi Chongrong's sarcastic smile was filled with disdain: "But your eyes tell me otherwise."

Although Xi Chongrong was sick, he could tell that Bai Fu was lying with just one glance.

She said she came to see her, but Bai Fu had been staring at her face since she entered the room.

It seemed as if he wanted to see through her skin and see the disease beneath her bones.

It can be seen that there are many smart people in this palace.

Bai Fu really couldn't control herself. As soon as she saw Xi Chongrong, her eyes involuntarily fell on her face and refused to move at all.

She tried to find a sense of familiarity on Hee Chongrong's face.

She also tried to find some evidence she needed from Hee Chongrong's face.

Unexplained sudden illness and death - isn't this what happened to her in her previous life?

Looking at Xi Chongrong's yellow and black face, she vaguely caught a sense of similarity.

Bai Fu's lips trembled as she whispered, "Did Sister Xi Chongrong do something wrong?"

Normally, a normal patient would be angry upon hearing this.

Ke Xi Chongrong looked at Bai Fu deeply and said, "I thought you were a smart person. Why are you asking stupid questions now?"

After saying that, Xi Chongrong closed his eyes.

She didn't chase Bai Baolin away, but let her look at her with a scrutinizing and inquiring gaze.

After a long while, Bai Baolin stood up, her voice no longer as confident as when she came: "Sister, I have disturbed you for a long time today. I am afraid I have to say goodbye now."

Xi Chongrong: "You should have left long ago."

Bai Baolin turned and left, his steps becoming increasingly hurried.

She wasn't paying attention when she stepped over the threshold and almost tripped, but it was thanks to Caiyue who supported her in time.

After seeing Bai Baolin off, the palace servants around Xi Chongrong complained, "Bai Baolin is too presumptuous. He stared at the master the moment he came in. That look..."

The palace maid wanted to say that it was like seeing a ghost, but she felt that it was unlucky and was afraid of bringing bad luck to her master, so she swallowed it.

"Although the master is ill, he won't let a Baolin bully him. Why should he indulge Bai Baolin?"

Xi Chongrong chuckled, "Let her indulge me? I don't have that ability."

"I don't even know how long I can live, how can I care about other people's affairs?"

She lowered her head and caught a glimpse of her hands, which were no longer white and tender, with a hint of fear and hatred in her eyes.

Xi Chongrong: "There are many fools in the palace, but there are always smart people. The emperor wants me to die quietly, and I can't disobey his order. But if more people know the truth... maybe it will be of some benefit to me."

"Even if it's no good, it can't get any worse."

"She, on the other hand, was so clever as to come and see me, and she incurred the Emperor's wrath. She deserved it."

Xi Chongrong has never been a good person, and it is even more impossible for him to be kind to those who come to watch his show.

The servants beside him had tears in their eyes, "Master, is there really no other way?"

Xi Chongrong sneered: "The emperor wants me to die, how dare I not die?"

Thinking of this, Xi Chongrong gritted his teeth and said, "It's all the fault of that bitch Concubine Hui!"

If it weren't for Concubine Hui, the emperor would never have been able to find out about her.

Although she had plans in mind, she didn't really do anything to the queen.

Xi Chongrong only secretly told the people of the Xia Dynasty that Yunxiang was seriously ill and would not live long.

Those who plotted against the queen were always the spies of the Xia Dynasty or even the emperor of the Xia Dynasty!

She did it secretly and did not involve herself at all, and the emperor never suspected her.

But Concubine Hui is like a mad dog.

He suspects whoever he stares at, as if all the women in the harem are the murderers who harmed the queen.

He had offended Concubine Zhao and was punished before. After being released from house arrest, he still didn't learn his lesson and I don't know why he set his sights on Xi Chongrong.

Xi Chongrong passed a message to the Xia Dynasty's spy, and the queen was dealt with, so she could rest assured.

Unexpectedly, one day she received a secret letter from Xia Chao, asking her to meet him in the cold palace, otherwise he would expose all her good deeds.

Xi Chongrong had long anticipated that the Xia Dynasty spies might go back on their word and use the incident of delivering the message to control her.

She had already prepared a plan for dealing with the situation. Seeing that the letter and the certificate matched, she did not doubt it and rushed to the cold palace with Concubine Xue.

It was because of Concubine Xue that she was able to get in touch with the spies of the Xia Dynasty.

The Xue family, or perhaps the talented Xue family, had long been bribed by the Xia Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, when the two went to the cold palace, they saw not the Xia Dynasty spies, but the unexpected Concubine Hui.

In an instant, Xi Chongrong realized that the so-called Xia Dynasty spies threatening to meet were just forged letters by Concubine Hui to trick them out in order to prove that they were involved in the murder of the queen.

As soon as the two sides met, they guessed each other's intentions.

Xi Chongrong was shocked and angry, "The Queen really has a good dog!"

Concubine Hui turned around and asked the palace maid beside her to report the news.

Xi Chongrong and Xue Cairen were both anxious.

What is unexpected is that Xue Cairen knows martial arts.

In just a moment, he pulled out a dagger from his waist, caught up with Hui Fei's maid, and struck her fatally.

Xi Chongrong was slow to react, and somehow she found the courage to pull out the hairpin in her hair and stab Huifei.

She had a hunch that the matter could not be concealed, but she also didn't want to let the bitch Huifei have an easy time.

The hairpin in his hand stabbed him countless times, and half of his face was stained with blood.

Concubine Hui's body softened and she fell heavily to the ground.

Xue Cairen handled the scene familiar to him, dealt with all suspicious traces, pulled Xi Chongrong and ran away.

The two of them came and went in a hurry, not noticing that Concubine Hui, who was still breathing, was crawling towards Xi Chongrong's palace and even tore off the pearl necklace that the queen had given her.
