The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

In the Pearl Pavilion, Han Shiqi's maid Hongnao lifted the curtain and came in.

She looked around before lowering her voice and saying, "Master, thanks to your prompt response, Xia Chiyuan has already found traces and is currently searching for the suspect."

Concubine Han was fanning herself with a jade fan.

Her posture was charming and graceful, her jade wrist fell, and the fan waved, as if a fragrant breeze was blowing.

As soon as she spoke, she was filled with infinite graceful affection, "Is everything arranged over there, Qiuyu?"

Hongnao nodded, "Her whole family is in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, and she would never dare to betray him."

As long as Qiuyu dies, the clues will be cut off and it will be impossible to continue the investigation.

As for who else took part in the process, it doesn’t matter.

The important thing is that Qiuyu is Ning's concubine's person, and the poison was given by Ning's concubine!

Concubine Han said with pity: "If you go earlier, you can protect her family and fulfill her loyalty."

Her voice was infinitely gentle and affectionate, but when she spoke of human life it was as if she were speaking of a piece of thin paper.

If it's broken, it's broken.

The bone-chilling cold.

"Qiuyu is a chess piece that Concubine Ning has buried for several years. Now it's gone just like that."

Hong Nao said with regret, "It won't be that easy to interfere in Xia Chiyuan's affairs in the future."

Qiuyu was originally trained by Ning's concubine for several years in preparation for dealing with the princess.

By chance, it was given to Fang Yuaner.

Now Fang Yuaner is still pregnant, but Qiuyu died, which is really a pity.

Such a useful chess piece, each one less is better.

Concubine Han didn't care at all. She stroked her bright red nails and said, "It's gone, so it's gone. She's not mine anyway. Just don't involve me."

Hongnao laughed and said, "Master didn't do anything originally, how could you be implicated?"

Concubine Han said calmly, "After this, Concubine Ning is afraid she won't survive."

Hong Nao was slightly stunned: "After all, she has an eldest son. How dare the princess kill her?"

"I'm afraid it's not the princess, it's the prince."

Concubine Han has been in the palace for more than a month, and she has finally gotten to know King Jing's personality.

"Our prince is not a man of hesitation. Concubine Ning has repeatedly overstepped the boundaries and has already stepped on the prince's bottom line."

Hong Nao felt it was not appropriate to continue this conversation, so she immediately changed the subject, saying, "I, your servant, would like to congratulate you, my master, for gaining access to Concubine Ning's connections without any effort."

Hong Nao smiled and said, "Thinking about it this way, even if Concubine Ning died, it would be a worthy death."

Concubine Han sneered, "Without any effort? Where in the world can such a good thing happen?"

"Concubine Ning gave me her connections because, firstly, she wanted me to protect the eldest young master in the future, and secondly...she also wanted to use me to muddy the waters in the backyard of Prince Jing's mansion."

Hongnao said, "My master wants to be a concubine, so sooner or later she will have to wade into muddy waters. Instead of passively getting involved, it's better to take control of the initiative."

"You are worthy of being my maid." Concubine Han smiled.

This agrees with Hongnao's words.

After saying that, Concubine Han raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen.

A trace of worry appeared between his brows. "No matter how much I plan, it's nothing compared to my belly."

If she could get pregnant early, the position of concubine would be within her grasp. Why would she need to take the risk of getting involved in Ning Shiqi's poisoning?

Hongnao spoke to comfort her, "Master, don't worry."

"Luyu went to Qingzhu Courtyard to inquire a while ago, and Concubine Li has just changed her clothes."

Concubine Han snorted softly, "That's true. It doesn't really matter if it's early or late, as long as I get pregnant before Li!"

Hongnao was tempted when she thought about the people her master had just recruited as concubine Ning.

"Master, why don't you think of some way to prevent Concubine Li from getting pregnant?"

Concubine Han was also a little tempted, but shook her head after a while.

"Not for now."

"It's been a turbulent time recently, so it's not the right time to take action. Let's wait for some time."

After all, she had just entered the mansion and had a long time to live.

As soon as the princess and her companions arrived at Xiachi Courtyard, they heard the little maid hurriedly shouting, "Master, something bad has happened!"

"Sister Qiuyu committed suicide by hitting herself against the wall!"

The princess paused, then walked into the main courtyard calmly. Seeing Fang Yuan'er, who looked very bad, dressed up and wearing meticulous makeup, she shook her head secretly.

To die is to face and suffer.

It's also poisoning.

Concubine Xie was not wearing a red hairpin, and her black hair was half down, showing her fragility and gentleness. Even the princess felt a little more pity for her when she saw her.

Concubine Fang looked much worse than Concubine Xie, yet she still had to dress up to save face.

If the princess was Prince Jing, she would not feel pity for him. She might even think that Concubine Fang did not take the child in her belly seriously and was trying to show off her strength.

Just as I was thinking about it, King Jing arrived.

As expected, King Jing's first reaction upon seeing Fang Yuan'er was to frown: "You look so bad, why don't you lie down in bed and rest?"

If it weren't for Fang Yuan'er's poor health, King Jing's words would probably have been very unpleasant.

Fang Yuan'er's eyes turned red with grievance after hearing this, "Your Highness, someone wants to kill me!"

King Jing thought that if Fang continued to cause trouble like this, he would probably be in danger of being killed.

His expression was not very good. "Qiuxiang, take good care of your master."

"Talk about something!"

Qiuxiang hurriedly supported Fang Yuaner and said, "Your Highness, the imperial physician discovered this afternoon that the water in the Moon Viewing Pond was poisoned."

"That poison is exactly the same as the one used by Concubine Xie. It dissolves in water, using the fragrance of lotus flowers as a cover, and can kill people silently. My master is frightened."

When the princess heard about the lotus, she remembered the incident in the flower room where she tried to please Fang Yuaner, and her brows couldn't help but frown.

I'm afraid this matter will involve Manager Chen of the greenhouse again.

The princess was secretly annoyed with Concubine Ning, but she remained calm on the surface. "I just heard Qiuyu from your courtyard committed suicide by hitting herself against the wall. What happened?"
