The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Xie Run said gently, "Okay, I won't move. But let Luzhi take you back together."

Concubine Lu: "Then I would like to thank you, Concubine."

Only after seeing Concubine Lu's figure disappear from his sight did Xie Run lead his men back to Chunshan Courtyard.

Because of what happened with Concubine Lu, the maids around her protected her like a hen protecting her chicks, fearing that she would get hurt.

Xie Run sighed, "I won't come out again from now on."

"I'm sure you'll be tired."

Dan Tao felt a little sorry for her master. "She's been locked up in her room all day, and the servants are all feeling bored. It's normal for the master to come out and relax."

Xiao Shu nodded, "That's right!"

"At worst, I can just ask someone to clear all the snow from wherever I'm going next time before I go out!"

Xie Run smiled and said, "Xiao Shu, that's very generous. Next time, I'll let you sweep the snow."

Xiao Shu said playfully, "My servant can sweep the snow, and my master can watch from the side, which is also a way to relieve fatigue. Is this what Sister Dan Tao said about entertaining her parents with colorful clothes?"

Xie Run couldn't help laughing.

While chatting and laughing, Xie Run returned to Chunshan Courtyard.

The other maids were dismissed, leaving only Xiao Shu, Dan Tao and Zi Hu.

Xie Runcai asked, "Zihu, you just stopped me, but what did you find out?"

In fact, the questions Xie Run asked Concubine Lu were just casual chats.

Not too many ideas.

However, Zihu's obstruction made Xie Run a little confused.

Zihu remained silent until Xie Run asked her, then she spoke: "Master, I have a keen nose and I smell the scent of musk on Concubine Lu."

"This thing is harmful to women, especially pregnant women. It should not be touched lightly."

Having been influenced by modern culture, Xie Run's scalp immediately tightened when he heard the smell of musk.

"Why does she carry musk with her?" Xiao Shu asked hastily.

Then, Xie Run immediately thought of the concubine Li who was suspected to be pregnant.

Xiao Shu also reacted after asking, and said blankly: "No way. She is so bold as to murder the prince's offspring..."

Let’s not talk about whether Concubine Li is pregnant or not.

Even if Concubine Li really had a miscarriage.

What good can Concubine Lu get?

Xie Run said, "Concubine Lu's rise to power was not legitimate, and she hasn't even established a firm foothold in the mansion. Now that she's been acting like this, I'm afraid she's already siding with Concubine Han."

"Master, what you mean is that Concubine Lu has become a knife in Concubine Han's hand?"

Dan Tao really didn't understand, "But Concubine Han is just a concubine herself. Is it worth it for Concubine Lu to take such a big risk?"

Although there is some difference in the backgrounds of Concubine Li and Concubine Han.

But once she entered the palace and became a concubine, she would be the same person.

"Logically speaking, Concubine Li is pregnant. If Concubine Lu wants to gain a firm foothold, she will have to rush over and cling to this future concubine."

Xiao Shu was also puzzled: "How could you have the guts to murder Concubine Li?"

After listening to their analysis, Xie Run slowly said, "Unless, Han Shiqie also has the possibility of becoming a concubine..."

Only when the weights of two people are equal can family background become a biased bargaining chip.

They were both shocked, "Concubine Han is pregnant too?!"

"Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

Neither of them quite believed it.

Xie Run thought for a moment and said to Dan Tao, "Find an opportunity to quietly pass on the news that Concubine Lu is wearing musk to Concubine Li."

"Master wants to help Concubine Li?"

Xie Run: "I just wanted to do her a favor."

She smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't think Concubine Li is someone who will just sit there and wait for death."

"She must have done something!"

"How else could it be such a coincidence? Concubine Li just announced she might be pregnant, and now Concubine Han is also pregnant?"

If she really is pregnant, the timing is about right... Xie Run could only sigh in admiration.

When Qingzhuyuan received the news, Concubine Li had just vomited and her face looked a little pale.

Feishuang tried to persuade him with tears in her eyes.

"Master, why don't you go and talk to the prince?"

"Every time Concubine Lu leaves, you vomit violently. There's clearly something wrong!"

"Now I'm just vomiting. If something happens, I'll really regret it..."

Concubine Li pinched the armrest with her slender fingertips and spoke breathlessly, "I vomit normally..."

Before she could finish, Feixu came in hurriedly.

"Master, I know what evil intentions Concubine Lu has!"

Concubine Li and Feishuang looked at her.

Feixu said in a serious tone, tears streaming down her face, "Master, go tell the prince!"

"Concubine Han has already attempted to murder your child!"

"Today, someone close to Concubine Xie sent a message saying that Concubine Lu was carrying musk!"

"She comes to sit in our yard every day, saying she's just chatting, but she's actually trying to poison your pregnancy with musk!"

How could Concubine Lu, a concubine without any foundation, dare to do such a thing?

It must be Concubine Han who is supporting her from behind.

When Concubine Li heard the news suddenly, her breathing became tense.

She sighed, and finally gave up her stubbornness. "Go tell the princess and ask the palace doctor to come and see me."

Feixu and Feishuang looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.

She spoke with more confidence, "I'll do it right away!"

It was Concubine Li who gave in, but Concubine Han was even faster.

Just as Qingzhu Pavilion invited the court physician, they heard a little maid coming to deliver the news.

"The prince is very happy that Concubine Han is now his concubine, and he has ordered her to be promoted to concubine."

"I will confer the title after the baby is firmly in place."

The flying frost and catkins felt like a bolt from the blue.

Only Concubine Li smiled, and her smile was meaningful.

She was originally as beautiful as a snow plum, and when she slowly smiled, it was like a blooming orchid in a valley, with a profound charm.

The court doctor was so scared that he dared not to see anymore.

After all, he is sixty years old and won't have any inappropriate thoughts.

Concubine Li didn't say much and asked the palace doctor to take her pulse first.

The court physician stroked his pale beard, stood up and saluted, "Congratulations, Master Li, you are pregnant!"

"It's been more than two months now."

Concubine Li took off a jade bracelet of very fine water color from her hand and pushed it towards the table.

Concubine Li: "Old Doctor, I am less than a month pregnant and I don't know many things. I still need your guidance. I will definitely thank you with a generous gift in the future."

It is said that a pregnant woman is pregnant for ten months, but in fact, a difference of one or two months is not obvious.

The palace doctors of Prince Jing's mansion all have a very smart mind.

The court doctor immediately understood and said, "I was just too happy."

"Master Li is less than a month pregnant. The fetus is a little unstable and needs to rest."
