The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Concubine Han said coldly: "Go and deal with the things in the study immediately!"

Hongnao's eyes were filled with worry: "I will go right away!"

Lu Yu accompanied Han Shiqie into the house and asked anxiously, "Master, has the prince discovered something?"

Concubine Han actually had the same worry, but she couldn't act rashly.

If she gets confused, the people under her will be even more unstable.

"Probably not." Concubine Han: "The last time Wan used medicine on the prince, the prince drove her out of the front yard that day. It can be seen that the prince is very jealous of this matter."

"Looking at the prince's expression today, he doesn't seem angry. It seems that Wan said something that changed the prince's mind."

As for King Jing's statement that he had official business to attend to, everyone just took it as a joke.

Lu Yu whispered, "I saw that the prince asked Eunuch Shi'an to personally escort Concubine Wan back to Xiuyue Pavilion."

Concubine Han was also puzzled. "What tricks did that bitch Wan use to make the prince forgive her?"

Lu Yu comforted her, "The prince just returned to the front yard and didn't go to Xiu Yue Pavilion. At least he cares about your reputation."

If he didn't care, King Jing might have followed Wan Linlang back to Xiuyue Pavilion.

The face of the concubine Han was really stepped on.

Even if she became a concubine in the future, she would be looked down upon and laughed at for being snatched away by an unfavored concubine.

Han Shiqi's fingertips trembled slightly, and her hand slid down to her lower abdomen. "What if the prince pities the child in my belly?"

Lu Yu's expression changed slightly.

Suddenly, she thought of something else: "Master, that Wan Shi is a female doctor. Did you say she smelled anything in the study?"

Concubine Han's eyes narrowed, with murderous intent in them.

"Can't wait any longer!"

"Now that rumors are flying everywhere, and the Wan family is quite capable, I can't just sit there and wait for death."

Now that King Jing is gone this time, Concubine Han has no chance of getting pregnant in the short term.

Since she couldn't get pregnant, she had to plan for an abortion.

Thinking of this, Han Shiqie said angrily, "Why hasn't the document for conferring the title of concubine arrived yet? I heard that the documents for Concubine Yun and others arrived in just half a month?!"

No matter what, she must first secure her position as a concubine.

As long as the enthronement document has not arrived, Han Shiqie will not be able to rest in peace.

Lu Yu said, "Back then, the three concubines were canonized together, so it should have been faster."

Concubine Han was not happy to hear this, so she went back to her room and started planning an abortion.

Princess Ruyi’s birthday banquet will be held in two days.

She had to seize this opportunity.

King Jing did not go to Wan Linlang's Xiuyue Pavilion because he really felt sorry for Concubine Han and the child in her belly.

But when he arrived at the front yard, he thought of the red candle that Wan Linlang was holding in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little doubtful.

Concubine Han is not even pregnant yet, but she dares to secretly give him aphrodisiacs. Isn't she afraid that she will lose the baby?

What does she want?

King Jing didn't think she was seeking favor.

Is it really like what everyone says, that she is faking pregnancy and that’s why she can’t wait to serve him and want to turn the fake into real?

King Jing raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a sense of silent fatigue.

He thought for a moment and called Jing Wu in. "The day after tomorrow is Ruyi's birthday. You should be alert these two days."

He called Shi'an again and said, "Take your men to Qiufeng Courtyard tomorrow to help check it out. I don't want to see any more accidents happen."

Eunuch Shi'an agreed repeatedly and said with a smile: "The prince really loves Princess Ruyi."

King Jing was in no mood for flattery and simply said, "By the way, go prepare a reward for Lady Wan tomorrow. And by the way, tell the princess that Lady Wan is pregnant."

Eunuch Shi'an was surprised and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness! This backyard will be bustling from now on."

King Jing snorted lightly, "It's going to be lively indeed."

On the second day, the news that Wan Linlang was pregnant spread throughout the palace.

There were already several pregnant women in the mansion, and her pregnancy as an unfavored concubine would not cause much stir.

What really interested everyone was that she went to Han's concubine's courtyard in the middle of the night to ask to see King Jing.

Although she did not call King Jing to her yard, she still ruined Han Concubine's plan.

Others gloat over the misfortune.

Concubine Han was already angry, and now she became even more annoyed.

"No wonder she dared to break into my yard. It turns out she was acting so arrogantly because she was pregnant!"

Although she cursed like this, Han Shiqie was still uneasy in her heart, fearing that Wan Linlang had smelled something strange about the candle yesterday.

She thought for a moment and said to Hongnao, "Go prepare some things and send them to Xiuyue Pavilion. And by the way, ask about what happened last night."

"If Mrs. Wan really discovered something, she might have something to say to you. If she doesn't say anything, just think of it as a gift."

Hongnao nodded.

Wan Linlang was able to become the Defei in her previous life, so she was naturally not a stupid person.

It's just that I had a bad start in this life that I ended up in my current situation.

She had already reminded King Jing last night that threatening Concubine Han with the red candle incident would not gain much benefit.

Not only would it offend people, but it would also easily anger King Jing.

Anyway, King Jing has already become suspicious of Concubine Han, and many people are eyeing Concubine Han, so there is no need for her to step forward at this time.

He pretended to be unaware of this and happily accepted the gift from Han's concubine, and kept apologizing for what happened last night.

Hongnao was pulled by her and it took him a while to break free.

When the princess got the news, she sent someone to deliver the reward as soon as possible.

When Wan Linlang became pregnant, the one who reacted the most was Fang Yuaner.

When Fang Yuaner heard the news this morning, her first reaction was, "This is fake, right?!"

Qiuxiang asked in confusion, "What does this mean, Master?"

"There's already a Han concubine in the mansion who's faking pregnancy, and now they want another Wan concubine?"

Qiu Kui was also puzzled. "What news did the master get that made him so sure that Concubine Wan is not pregnant?"

Fang Yuan'er was silent for a moment. "She was born with a cold constitution, making it difficult for her to conceive. But she became pregnant after serving the prince once?"

Qiu Kui and Qiu Xiang looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Actually, it’s hard for Fang Yuaner to say.

In the original novel, Wan Linlang was favored by the emperor, but she was unable to get pregnant until King Jing ascended the throne.

During the years in Prince Jing's mansion, Wan Linlang sought medical treatment everywhere and tried all kinds of folk remedies and magic, but none of them were of any use.

Now I have served King Jing just once.

It sounds incredible.

But she wasn't entirely sure.

After all, Xie Run died early in the novel, but now Xie Run is alive and well, has become a concubine, and is even pregnant.
