The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 298 King Jing is ready to ascend the throne

Concubine Wu said slowly, "No matter what Concubine Xie thinks, I can't just sit there like a fool and wait for death. Whatever she says is east, it's east. Whatever she says is west, it's west."

"If something happens to the Emperor, we'll all have to go to the palace to attend the funeral. I'm not even pregnant yet, so I absolutely dare not take any risks..."

Sister Gui seemed to understand: "Master, if you want to do something, just tell this servant and I will do it immediately."

"There's no rush." Concubine Wu raised her hand and touched her belly, a faint smile on her lips: "Give the purse I embroidered two days ago to Sister Ye, and tell her I've drawn a new pattern, and wait for her to come and see it tomorrow."

Although Sister Gui didn't know what Concubine Wu wanted to do, she didn't dare to delay her master's order.

By the time Xie Run had arranged everything, the sun had already set.

Dan Tao took a hot water bottle and warmed her hands, feeling distressed. "Dinner was half an hour late today. Master has never done this before."

Xie Run attaches great importance to his physical health. He must eat three meals on time and never go to bed late.

It's rare to eat half an hour late like today.

Xie Run said helplessly: "It's already April, how can this be used?"

Dan Tao said, "Although it's already April, it suddenly gets cold as soon as the sun sets. I'm afraid the master has caught a cold and hasn't noticed yet."

In these small matters, Xie Run usually listened to the maids' instructions.

Dan Tao continued, "Master, since Concubine Wu is pregnant, shouldn't she have more things in her yard?"

Xie Run thought for a moment and said, "On the surface, we should still follow the rules, but secretly give her some good things."

Dan Tao nodded immediately.

Xie Run took a sip of the tea and said, "Finally, there will be another child in the mansion."

She whispered, "I just hope Concubine Wu can give birth to the child safely, preferably a boy, and raise him healthy."

Dan Tao smiled and said, "Master is kind-hearted."

"From my perspective, Concubine Wu doesn't seem to have no plans. Since she was able to keep it a secret for two months, she should also be able to protect the child in her belly."

Dan Tao has been in the mansion for a long time and can see through many things.

This concubine Wu seemed obedient and submissive, but she was able to secretly conceal her pregnancy for more than two months, which showed that she had her own thoughts.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was about to die, she might have been able to keep it a secret until she was pregnant and give everyone in the palace a surprise.

Xie Run smiled and said, "It's not that I'm kind-hearted, it's just that having many children in the mansion is a good thing."

First of all, this is also her credit.

Secondly, with more children, Taotao wouldn't be so conspicuous anymore.

Now he is still in Prince Jing's mansion. When Prince Jing enters the palace in the future, he will have a handsome son like Taotao.

A rain of swords and spears... Xie Run was defenseless.

Xie Run pondered: "Do you think I should ask the prince to take care of the sisters in the backyard more?"

Dan Tao gently reminded: "Master, if the emperor is not well... the prince will probably have to observe mourning for a year."

This is still implicit.

King Jing is determined to be a filial son, and he may not have any children for three years.

Isn't Xie Run trying to trick King Jing by asking him to go to the backyard to 'take care' of the sisters?

Xie Run: “…”

She couldn't just say that the emperor was lucky and might not die, right?

As for Concubine Wu… Xie Run smiled and said, “I’m not afraid of smart people, as long as they don’t have bad intentions.”

"Things are different now. Life in the mansion is a bit more peaceful. I just hope Concubine Wu can give birth to the child safely."

As for asking King Jing to go to the backyard to take care of his sisters, Xie Run didn't dare to say anything more.

The next day, everyone in Prince Jing's mansion was ready to go to the palace to cry after hearing the news of the death.

Who would have thought that the news would come so early in the morning?

First, the emperor was dying, so he called in several ministers to accompany him and wrote an edict of succession.

Then King Jing found a miracle doctor who cured the emperor's epidemic with a single prescription.

The emperor originally had only one breath left, but now he had a few more breaths and could live for a while longer.

The news is naturally good news.

But when it landed in Prince Jing's mansion, the reactions were mixed.

Especially Fang Yuaner, who was still under house arrest, excitedly said, "It's Wan Linlang! It must be Wan Linlang!"

"If that miracle doctor is a woman, and can also treat epidemics, she must be Wan Linlang!"

Fang Yuaner sneered in her heart.

I just thought Wan Linlang was imitating the plot of her previous life and was doing it all over again.

This time he learned his lesson and did not show favor to King Jing, but instead showed favor to the emperor.

If the emperor is happy at that time, he might directly give her the position of imperial concubine!

Xie Run’s idea was exactly what he wanted.

She felt that Wan Linlang might be responsible for this matter, but this miracle doctor was definitely not Wan Linlang.

King Jing is not a fool, and Wan Linlang is even less so.

She escaped death one moment, and then appeared in front of King Jing in such a high-profile manner the next. Was Wan Linlang afraid that others would not suspect her?

Wan Linlang has no background, and as long as King Jing becomes suspicious, he will be exposed as soon as he investigates.

Not to mention Wan Linlang, even Jiang Baobao wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

I'm afraid that this miracle doctor is related to Wan Linlang, or he is someone promoted by Wan Linlang to plan her future plans.

Since this miracle doctor only roamed around the palace, people like Xie Run who stayed in the palace naturally had no chance to see him.

The emperor recovered from his illness, but the news of the edict of succession had also spread.

Everyone was secretly calling King Jing stupid.

If the emperor was allowed to die of illness, King Jing would naturally ascend the throne and would be the emperor for sure, wouldn't that mean he would be the emperor forever?

If we save the emperor now, we will never know what will happen in the future.

The rumors that Prince An had fabricated in the capital were proven false.

After a storm, Xie Run fell ill again.

He suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and felt completely exhausted.

Xie Jiang happened to be checking the princess's pulse and took a look at her. "You have an epidemic and need to be isolated and treated."

Xie Run was a little panicked, and his first reaction was: "Sister, can you show it to Tao Tao first?"

"He is by my side every day, and I..."

Xie Jiang nodded slightly, "I know."

"Don't worry, I've treated a lot of people who have contracted the epidemic these days. They won't be seriously injured."

After hearing what Xie Jiang said, Xie Run felt relieved immediately.

Finally, Xie Jiang took the pulse of everyone around Xie Run.

Through questioning, they found that the two girls were also infected, but their symptoms were not as obvious as Xie Run's, so they thought it was just a common cold.

But these two girls were just servants and did not work in the inner courtyard.

Dan Tao said, "It's probably the housekeepers. They come and go in the mansion every day, wandering around everywhere. It's hard to guarantee that no one is sick, not to mention that they have infected the master."

Xie Jiang actually agreed with her statement.

Fortunately, the miracle doctor in the palace cured the emperor and made the prescription public.

Although it is a bit scary to have an epidemic now, there are ways to treat it.

Xie Jiang is a highly skilled doctor. He revised the published prescription several times and finally finalized a version of the medicine that causes the least harm to the body and has the fastest effect.

Xie Run lay in a daze for more than half a month.

By the time she came to her senses, King Jing was about to ascend the throne.
