The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Concubine Han propped herself up and stood up, crying and laughing, saying: "Yes, I did it!"

"I did it all!"

"Your Majesty, please come and investigate!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped Wan Linlang.

Wan Linlang seemed unable to dodge and was slapped hard.

After being beaten, Wan Linlang was very angry and was about to hit back.

The two men suddenly started fighting.

It happened somewhat suddenly.

Before the maids and servants around her could come forward to pull them apart, Han Shiqie pushed Wan Linlang hard, causing her to crash onto the tea table beside her.

Wan Linlang covered her stomach, screamed, and her face turned terribly pale.

The princess slammed the table and said, "How outrageous!"

"They're all dead! Hurry up and grab them and tie them up!"

A maid tried to help Wan Linlang to stand up. After a long time, Wan Linlang's face turned even paler and her legs were so weak that she couldn't even stand up straight!

"Blood! Master Wan has also seen blood!"

Everyone only saw a little blush on Wan Linlang's body, which spread quietly.

Wan Linlang seemed to be stunned as well. She froze in place and suddenly shouted, "My Lord, please save my child!"

King Jing said indifferently, "Ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."

With the previous experience of Han concubine's miscarriage, everyone was very familiar with the process this time.

King Jing raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, seeming very impatient.

The princess said softly, "Your Highness, Concubine Xie has proven her innocence. Feihua's origins still need to be investigated. It will not look good if the incident continues."

"Several sisters are pregnant. Why not let them go back to their own courtyards first, and then send people to check on the others."

Prince Jing nodded and said, "Princess, please send a few people to each courtyard to escort them back. No more accidents are allowed on the way!"

Princess: "I think so too."

"Your Highness, don't worry too much. Now that we have a clue, everything can be found out."

"Maybe." King Jing looked at the pregnant women below with a faint gaze.

Concubine An and Concubine Li both looked frighteningly pale, and Concubine Yun was no less pale.

On the contrary, Xie Run, who had just experienced a life-and-death risk, was very calm.

She just lowered her eyes slightly, quiet and well-behaved.

If you really judge her by her appearance, you would be wrong to think that she is easy to bully.

When dealing with the biting mulberry grass just now, Xie Run remained calm from beginning to end, and even when he was lying, he didn't leave any trace.

King Jing didn't want his woman to be strong and bold.

But I really don’t like to see everyone with pale faces crying when something happens.

Compared with others, Xie Run is good like this.

Very satisfied with him.

Thinking about this, King Jing had already said, "First, confine Han to the Pearl Courtyard. Once all her crimes are investigated, we can make the final decision!"

"Everyone else, go back to your own yards and stay put. Do not wander around unless summoned!"

A group of people saluted in unison: "As you command!"

Seeing that Prince Jing was about to leave, the princess suddenly shouted, "Prince!"

Prince Jing paused, and the princess took the opportunity to say, "Concubine Lu jumped into the water to save Princess Ruyi, but she is still unconscious."

"She has performed great service, yet she only asked me for a maidservant. I therefore wish to ask the prince for some reward on her behalf."

King Jing pondered for a moment and said, "He deserves a reward indeed. I'll have Shi'an arrange it later."

The princess then said, "Then I respectfully send His Majesty off."

Xie Run didn't leave. She said to Concubine Yun, "Xiao Shu is injured now and can't move. I'm afraid I'll have to disturb Sister Yun for a while."

Today's play has been going on for so long that Concubine Yun's face is already showing signs of fatigue.

She waved her hand and said, "Sister, don't be so polite to me."

"It's Qiufengyuan's blessing that my sister can stay here." Concubine Yun rubbed her temples. "It's just that I really can't hold on any longer. I'm afraid I can't entertain you well."

The last miscarriage really damaged my vitality.

Concubine Yun has been nursing for a long time, and she can only hold on for half a day today, but if she still needs to entertain guests, she really doesn't have the strength.

Xie Run smiled and said, "Of course, your health is more important. I dare not bother you for too long."

After saying a few polite words, Xie Run went into the side room to see Xiao Shu.

There was a little maid and an old woman looking after him.

As soon as Xie Run came in, Zihu stepped forward and rewarded the two of them with two ingots of silver.

Xie Run: "You guys take good care of her. If Xiao Shu gets better, you'll only be better."

The two of them said happily, "Thank you for the reward, Concubine. We will take good care of Miss Shu."

"Master..." Xiao Shu struggled to get up.

Xie Run quickly held her down, "Don't move! We finally managed to stop the bleeding, be careful not to let the wound split open."

Xiao Shu didn't dare to move anymore.

Zihu said coldly to the two servants: "You go out first, our master has something to say."

"Yes."

When they were the only ones left in the room, Xie Run held Xiao Shu's hand and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Xiao Shu shook her head and smiled, "It doesn't hurt."

Xie Run pursed his lips and acted angry: "You're lying!"

"There's a cut on my body for no reason, how can it not hurt?"

Seeing that her master's eyes were red, Xiao Shu didn't dare to speak.

Xie Run tucked the quilt in for her and gently warned her, "You're injured this time. You need to take good care of yourself for a year or two before you can recover."

Xiao Shu opened her eyes wide, "Master, how can this be possible?"

"Why not?" Xie Run's tone was gentle, but his attitude was very firm. "You have protected us mother and son, and you are our great benefactor. Not to mention recuperating for a year or two, you can even let the royal palace provide for your whole life."

"You just need to rest and recuperate. I'll always keep a place for you by my side. You can come back whenever you want."

Xie Run said seriously, "I only have one thing to say: you must be healthy and come to work for me!"

Xiao Shu's eyes also turned red, tears streaming down her face, "Thank you, Master."

Xie Run raised his hand and stroked his lower abdomen, sighing softly, "We should be thanking you."

"Okay, the rain has finally stopped and the sky is clear, so stop crying." Xie Run said with a smile, "Our future will get better and better."

Xiao Shu wiped her tears and nodded, "At least I have cleared my name and didn't bring trouble to my master or the people of Chunshan Courtyard."

"Thanks to the master's reminder today, this servant was almost bitten to death by the mulberry grass."

At this point, Xiao Shu still felt a little scared.

If she had reacted a little slower at that time, she would have been accused of murdering the prince's offspring, and her master would have been implicated.

Xie Run said calmly: “As soon as Sang Cao opened her mouth, she told me the time and place. Even the things you bribed her with were those that had passed through the Ming Road.”

"It's clear that she and the people behind it have been planning this for a long time, just to use you to bring me down."

Xie Run sighed, "Such a thorough plan, coupled with the help of capable people, is really hard to guard against."

It was also because Xiao Shu was clever, and it happened that her brother hunted the tiger skin and hung it in the room, that Sang Cao was able to reveal the truth.
