The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

After some trouble, Qingzhu Pavilion was finally clean.

Mother Li reported the news to the princess.

The princess also noticed it and raised her eyebrows and said, "Concubine Han is using a trick."

Mother Li was by her side. "That's right. Everyone was staring at Concubine Lu, but who would have thought she had already quietly reached into Concubine Li's bedroom."

The princess leaned back in her chair and said lazily, "Send someone to investigate."

"But I don't think we can find out anything."

Before Mother Li came, Concubine Li had already checked everything one by one.

"Master Li brought that scent bag from the palace. She kept it locked in a box and never opened it. I don't know how it got stuffed with musk."

"The pillow was made by Master Li's personal maid, Feishuang, and was poisoned without anyone's knowledge."

Mother Li sighed, "I've searched for a long time, but I haven't found any trace."

The princess picked up a cup of tea and sniffed it gently, quite interested in the taste: "Han family is surrounded by so many talented people."

Mother Li's eyes lit up: "This Concubine Han was carefully chosen by Concubine Rou for the prince, and now she has become such a disaster..."

The princess lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Mom, it's not time yet."

No matter how cold Prince Jing's words were, he still had Concubine Rou, his mother, in his heart.

Using Concubine Han to slap Concubine Rou in the face at this time would do the princess no good.

Mother Li was deflated.

The princess lowered her eyes, a look of deep thought on her face. "When Ning was alive, she cultivated quite a few connections within the palace. Now that she's dead, these people are quite peaceful and stable, without any signs of trouble."

Mother Li was puzzled. "Why are you talking about Ning again?"

Whenever she thought of Concubine Ning, Mother Li felt unlucky.

How much harm did his master suffer from her back then?

If Concubine Ning had not died early, Mother Li would probably have transformed into Aunt Rong and avenged her past.

The princess reminded her, "The poison that Concubine Fang was poisoned with came from the Ning family. Now that the Ning family is dead, there are still people using this poison..."

Mother Li's eyes lit up. "Master, what you mean is that before Concubine Ning died, she handed over her connections to Concubine Han?"

The princess nodded slightly. "Last time, the eldest son was instigated to murder his concubine mother. After much investigation, the investigation led to Concubine Ning. I was suspicious at the time, and now it seems that I'm afraid Han was also involved."

Mother Li felt a chill run down her spine. "That's not right! If Concubine Han's subordinates were all Concubine Ning's people, how could they have instigated the eldest young master?"

Everyone in the mansion knows that the eldest son is the lifeblood of Concubine Ning.

The princess sighed, seeing things clearly: "Mother Li, there are few loyal slaves in this world. Most servants, although they claim to be loyal, are they not supported by money?"

"Now that Concubine Ning is gone, they have no hope and are naturally panicking. After all, whoever feeds you is your mother."

Mother Li thought about the people under the princess and couldn't help but nodded.

She cursed again: "You deserve it!"

"Ning left the person to Han, probably hoping to use Han's hand to disrupt the peace in the mansion. Now that Han has her person, the first thing she will do is to attack her son."

"It's really unpleasant retribution!"

The princess declined to comment.

Cursing a dead person will not make her happier.

At this moment, the news about the Son of Fortune spread quietly throughout the palace.

"Concubine Han is pregnant with a child of good fortune!"

"As soon as she became pregnant, she was promoted from a concubine to a concubine, just one step ahead of Concubine Li. If it had been any later, the position of concubine would have belonged to Concubine Li."

"A few days ago, Concubine Han went to the small garden to enjoy the flowers. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and several maids who followed her became ill. Only Concubine Han was fine."

"And more! Half a month ago, Concubine Han went to pay her respects to the princess, and on her way back she fell off the rockery. The maid accompanying her broke her leg, but she was completely fine. It must be the lucky child in Concubine Han's belly that is protecting her."

"She is pregnant with a lucky child, has a good family background and is beautiful, but now she has become a concubine. I'm afraid she might even become a concubine in the future!"

As the New Year was approaching and there were many affairs at the palace, the ceremony of conferring the title of Concubine Han was postponed to after the New Year.

However, in order to please her, the people in the mansion had already started calling her "Han Shufei".

Now with the title of Son of Fortune, Han Shiqie's popularity is about to overshadow Xie Run.

Xie Run was more than happy to do so.

"Shoot the first bird!"

"If I stand out, I'll be envied, and then people will plot against me."

When Xie Run said this, he was sitting in the yard watching Yueyaer playing snowballs with a few little girls.

She gathered her cloak and sighed, "I don't want to scheme against others, but I'm also afraid of being schemed against. I have to try my best to stay out of the spotlight."

The main reason is that there are many hidden talents in Prince Jing’s Mansion.

Xie Run considers himself an ordinary person, with some self-knowledge and no desire to fight.

Dan Tao stood aside and said with a smile: "It's not necessary to calculate it."

"It's the same if we close the gate and live our own lives."

Xie Run shook his head. "Isn't the door of Qingzhu Pavilion next door tight enough?"

"Wasn't it still filled with musk and poison? To this day, we still haven't figured out who did it."

Everyone thought it was done by Han concubine.

But without evidence, no one can say this.

Dan Tao sighed, "Master, do you have to make this servant live in fear every day?"

Xie Run smiled mischievously, "I'm just a talker."

By chance, a snowball flew under Xie Run's feet, scaring Dan Tao.

"You're asking for death! How dare you throw it here when you don't see the master is here?!"

Having been a maid for a long time, Dan Tao has accumulated some authority, and the maids under her are all afraid of her.

After she shouted like that, they all stood in the snow in the yard with their heads huddled like quails.

Xie Run smiled and said, "Don't scare them."

"I told you before, there are always unexpected things when playing around, so no matter what, you can't get angry."

"Scolding them now, isn't that me going back on my word?" Xie Run took Dan Tao's hand and said coquettishly, "Good sister, please give me some face."

Dan Tao couldn't stand her coaxing anymore, so she said to the girls helplessly, "Forget it, you guys continue playing."

Although Dan Tao spoke, the girls were still hesitant to relax.

Xie Run thought for a moment and said to Dan Tao, "Help me make a snowball."

Dan Tao smiled helplessly, but still did as Xie Run instructed and made two snowballs in a row.

Xie Run caught the snowball and threw it outside.

The snowball fell at the Moon's feet, and she was too stupid to hide.

Xie Run laughed and said, "Why don't you just hide? Are you standing there ready to play statues?"

"I'll be frozen to death soon. I need more snowmen in my yard."

After she said these two words, the girls all laughed and slowly let go.

Xie Run threw another snowball out.

Everyone finally put their minds at ease.

Just at this moment, Xiao Shu entered the yard, holding a note and several letters in her hands, followed by a familiar little maid.

Dan Tao said, "It seems to be from Concubine Yun's courtyard."
