The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Suijin was the maid assigned to Wan Linlang by the mansion.

Hearing the word "illness", Xie Run had to think more.

"You came to visit me late at night and said you had something important to report?" It was Dan Tao who asked this question.

Suijin knelt on the ground and said straight to the point: "Thank you, Concubine Shu, Wan Shifei wants to harm you!"

Xie Run only raised his eyebrows slightly, without any surprise, and said calmly: "Do you have any evidence to prove what you said?"

"Today, Suiyin went to fetch food for Concubine Wan. Someone secretly stuffed some medicinal powder into the sachet she was wearing. Concubine Wan has a keen nose and was able to smell it."

"She thinks someone is going to frame her at tomorrow's birthday party, so she's planning to find an opportunity to frame you, Concubine Xie, at the party!"

There was a hint of surprise in Xie Run's eyes. "Is she really confident?"

Xie Run's belly is quite big now, and he is surrounded by people wherever he goes.

Concubine Wan wanted to frame her in public, so she stuffed something into her body.

The people around her aren't dead? !

Suijin: "Putting the blame on you is the best option for Wan Shiqie. There are so many people at the party anyway, if all else fails, we can just pick someone else."

Dan Tao asked anxiously, "What effect does the medicine have?"

She was even more worried that Concubine Wan had ill intentions and wanted to harm Xie Run's fetus.

Suijin said, "It seems to say that it can make animals become manic."

Xiao Shu's eyes narrowed, and she immediately said, "Master, the prince gave Princess Ruyi a dog some time ago. Princess Ruyi loves it very much and keeps it with her every day."

Dan Tao also said nervously, "If the master was stained with powder, the dog would rush over without a care. This is not to put the blame on the master, this is clearly to kill the master!"

"My master has no grudge against her... Concubine Wan has such a cruel heart!"

Xie Run was just wondering why Concubine Wan chose to stuff the powder into her body, but now he seemed to understand.

Concubine Wan is pregnant now. For the sake of the future of the child in her belly, the key point will naturally be to choose the pregnant one.

The first choice is of course Fang Yuaner.

But Fang Yuaner is under house arrest now and will not attend the birthday party, so she turned her attention to Xie Run, who has been the most popular person recently.

Originally, others wanted to frame Wan Linlang for this matter, so Wan Linlang took advantage of the situation and put the medicine on Xie Run.

If Xie Run was fine, he would be blamed and would have to take the trouble to explain the matter of the medicine powder.

If something happened to Xie Run, it would be a fight between Xie Run and the real culprit, and Wan Linlang would never be involved.

Even if it were someone else, the same situation would probably occur.

Xie Run smiled and said, "She is really calculating!"

If it weren't for the Suijin incident, she might have really become Wan Linlang's scapegoat.

Xie Run asked, "Do you know who stuffed the powder into Suiyin's body?"

Suijin shook her head: "I don't know. Concubine Wan hasn't guessed anything either."

Xie Run took a deep breath and glanced at Suijin. "You took the risk to tell me this at night. I don't know how to thank you."

Suijin suddenly knelt on the ground, "Please thank you, Concubine, for saving my life!"

Xie Run frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

Suijin raised her eyes and gently stroked her thin, withered face. "I have always been in good health, but I suddenly fell ill more than half a month ago, and my condition has only gotten worse."

She suddenly shed a tear, "If I continue to be sick, I might even die!"

Xie Run thought for a moment and asked, "Have you ever consulted a court doctor about this illness?"

Suijin said bitterly, "Concubine Wan, trying to appear virtuous, has called the palace doctor on me several times, but they always said I was exhausted and needed to rest properly."

"But I seldom do rough labor, how could I be tired? I have been lying in bed recuperating for so long, and I am getting weaker day by day."

"She's a medical woman, and she has many ways to make me disappear quietly!"

"I am greedy and talkative, but I have also served her diligently and responsibly, and have never thought of betraying my master or harming others." There was resentment in Suijin's eyes, "And yet she wants to kill me!"

"I don't want to die! That's why I came to ask Concubine Xie to save my life!"

She knelt down near Xie Run, crying miserably, "She is too cruel, I am so scared!"

"This servant dares not ask for too much. I only ask that Concubine Xie take this servant out of Xiuyue Pavilion. Even if I have to be a servant girl, I will be willing to do it!"

Xie Run only knew about Wan Linlang's cruelty through the plot in his mind.

When she actually used her methods on the people around her, she felt extremely chilled.

Xie Run helped her up and said, "Tomorrow is Princess Ruyi's birthday banquet. If what you said is true, you are my benefactor."

"I will personally ask the princess for a good place for you."

There was excitement in Suijin's eyes, and he kowtowed repeatedly, making the ground bang.

"Thank you so much, Concubine! Thank you so much, Concubine!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Concubine. I am willing to repay you by working like a slave in my next life."

Xie Run couldn't bear to see this, so he said to Xiao Shu and Dan Tao, "Help him up quickly."

Dan Tao supported Sui Jin and asked worriedly, "How are you going to get back home after you sneaked out in the middle of the night?"

Suijin smiled bitterly, "Everyone at Xiuyue Pavilion thought I was seriously ill and was just waiting to collect my body. No one cared where I was going."

"It's snowing heavily on the road now, so I can't bring you anything back for fear of attracting attention. I can only remind you to be careful." Xie Run sighed.

Suijin hurriedly said, "This servant only wishes to leave Xiuyue Pavilion as soon as possible. I dare not have any other extravagant hopes."

After sending Suijin away, Dantao asked Xie Run, "Master, can you believe what Suijin said?"

Although there is nothing wrong with what Suijin said, what if something unexpected happens?

Xie Run leaned back in his chair, thinking lazily, "It should be credible."

"Time is running out and there's nothing we can do. We can only adapt to the changing circumstances."

"Remind the girls of Chunshan Court to be as cautious as possible tomorrow."

Xie Run didn't say anything.

Judging from Wan Linlang's personality, Sui Jin's illness was most likely caused by the medication she took.

Wan Linlang probably couldn't have imagined that this sick and dying girl still had the strength to struggle and fight back against her.

Xie Run suddenly said, "Tomorrow I won't wear the clothes I prepared earlier, and I'll change all my jewelry!"

Dan Tao and Xiao Shu were quite surprised, "Master..."

Xie Run slowly closed his eyes, "Just in case."

"No one can guarantee that someone is not tampering elsewhere."

The two girls immediately nodded.

To be on the safe side, Xie Runlian even temporarily changed the birthday gift he prepared for Princess Ruyi.
