The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 58 Besieged on four sides

Concubine Li smiled but then suppressed her laughter. "She is the master. She should stop saying such things in the future."

Feixu was clever and said with a smile, "I know. I was only so bold to make my master laugh."

Feishuang was also in a much more relaxed mood, carrying the things that Concubine Lu had sent.

"Master, what should we do with these things?"

Concubine Li frowned, "They're all lost."

After a while, Concubine Li said again: "Smash the cups and bowls she used, wash the stools, and clean the floor later."

She is only two months pregnant now, so she doesn't dare touch anything given to her by others.

We must be extra careful with these details.

Feishuang asked softly, "Master, did Concubine Lu discover something?"

"It doesn't matter what she discovered." Concubine Li sighed, a hint of sadness between her brows. "What matters is what she wants to do."

She was born beautiful, as pure and proud as the white plum blossoms blooming in the snow.

Now there is a hint of worry on his brow, which is heartbreaking and makes people feel distressed.

"Master, what do you mean by this?" Feixu also came over: "She is just a maid who climbed into the bed. How dare she harm the master?"

Concubine Li lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Don't say that again."

"She is a maid, and I am just a slave in the palace. Neither of us is nobler than the other."

Feixu immediately shut his mouth.

Feishuang approached Concubine Li and said, "Master, are you worried that Concubine Lu and Concubine Han are colluding?"

Concubine Li nodded slightly.

"Even if it hasn't happened before, I'm afraid it will happen soon."

"Han and I are natural competitors. Concubine Lu's rise to power was dishonorable, and she wants to gain a firm foothold in the mansion..."

Concubine Li turned her head to look at the falling snow outside the window, "General Dingyuan's daughter is more attractive than a convicted slave like me."

Feishuang looked at Concubine Li with distressed eyes, "Master, why don't you tell the prince?"

Concubine Li was silent.

After a long while, she finally said, "If I tell the prince now, perhaps I can become a concubine. But this child... is definitely not going to be saved."

After all, she was still young and felt sorry for the baby in her womb.

Between the position of concubine and having children, she values the latter more.

"Is it really that dangerous?" Feishuang asked tentatively, "Not to mention Concubine Fang and Concubine Xie, even that invisible Concubine An is now six months pregnant, isn't she?"

Concubine Li curled her lips and smiled, her smile full of bitterness.

"They are different from me. And the situation in the mansion is... different too."

Concubine Li was very patient with the two maids and told the story in detail.

"Two babies had already been lost in the mansion. It was because Concubine Rou and the prince put pressure on the princess at the same time that the princess took action to protect Concubine An."

"At that time, the most powerful person was Concubine Ning, but because she plotted to murder Concubine Yun, she became Ning's concubine and was even confined to her house for life."

"Concubine Yun is bedridden and recuperating. Concubine Fang and Concubine Xie have no intention of harming anyone, and there are no concubines in the backyard who are capable of supporting them. This is why they are both safe and secure."

"now……"

Feishuang was about to cry as she thought about it.

"Now there is Concubine Han who is eyeing us covetously, and there are also Concubines Lu and Wan who are restless."

"There are already several pregnant women in the palace. I'm afraid the princess won't meddle in other people's affairs..."

"Why is the Master's life so miserable?!"

Feishuang hadn't said anything else.

In the early days, Concubine Xie and Concubine Fang were busy protecting their own fetuses, so naturally they had no time to harm others.

Now that these two fetuses are firmly in place, if they dislike their master and want to murder him... their master will be unable to stop them!

Fei Shuang's tears fell like beads from a broken string. "My master taught me to read before. I remember there was a word called 'Four-Sided Enemy Songs'. I just didn't find it interesting when I read it at that time."

"Now I truly understand the despair and difficulty of these four words."

Concubine Li wiped Feishuang's tears and said, "It hasn't come to this."

She chuckled and comforted the two maids: "After three months, when my pregnancy is stable, I will go to find the prince."

The first three months of pregnancy are the most dangerous for women.

Only after three months, when the fetus is stable, will Concubine Li be sure to protect her child.

She wants the position of concubine, and she also wants the child!

Concubine Li suddenly said, "Feishhuang, find a way to spread the news of what happened in the past two days."

"What?" Fei Shuang was shocked. "But if this happens, everyone will probably suspect that you are pregnant."

This "big family" actually refers specifically to the concubine Han.

Concubine Li is pregnant, and the one who feels the strongest sense of crisis is Concubine Han.

If others just have suspicions, Concubine Han will really come to investigate, or even take action directly!

Concubine Li said pessimistically, "We must prepare for the worst. Perhaps Han has already known about it since Lu left yesterday."

Feishuang was suddenly speechless.

"But now Concubine Lu is just suspicious."

A plan gradually took shape in Concubine Li's mind. "Since it's just suspicion, then we should take the initiative to release the news and let them guess whether it's true or false."

"What if Concubine Han doesn't guess and attacks you directly?" This is what Feishuang is most worried about.

"Then find a way to make her pregnant too!"

"what?!"

Feishuang opened her eyes wide in shock.

Concubine Li comforted her, "Don't worry, I naturally don't have the ability to make her pregnant."

"You and I come from the palace, so we naturally know that some drugs can cause symptoms of false pregnancy."

When Feishuang was reminded, the fake pregnancy incident to win favor that had occurred in the palace immediately emerged in her mind.

My heart is beating inexplicably faster.

Concubine Li continued to elaborate: "Even if everyone speculates that I am pregnant, no one knows if I am one month or two months pregnant. If Concubine Han is also pregnant at this time..."

Fei Shuang immediately understood, "If she is pregnant, she should report it to the prince and be promoted to concubine immediately. But if it's fake, it's fake, and it will be exposed in three or four months."

"If you're also thinking about keeping the baby safe, even if you want to attack the master, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do two things at the same time."

Concubine Li nodded slightly, "That's exactly what I meant."

"In just one more month, my pregnancy will be stable. If we can make it through this month, we'll have won."

Fei Shuang smiled and said, "I'm actually hoping that Concubine Han will get pregnant soon, so that the prince can promote her to concubine!"

When it is exposed, it will be a big drama.
