The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 219 Ectopic Pregnancy

Xie Run dared to make such a conclusion because the princess's pregnancy was not a normal one, but an ectopic pregnancy!

I guessed this thanks to Xie Jiang's inference from the script.

In the script of the heroine Xie Jiang, there is a plot about going to the neighboring Xia Dynasty to practice medicine.

According to the timeline, it should be the fourth year after the princess's death.

Xie Jiang was sent as an envoy of the Yu Dynasty to the Xia Dynasty. He accidentally met a pregnant princess at a palace banquet.

The princess's pregnancy was unstable and she showed signs of miscarriage at the palace banquet.

After taking her pulse, Xie Jiang found out that she had an ectopic pregnancy and would not be able to give birth to the child.

If you try to preserve the fetus by force, it will end up with two deaths.

The princess was quite favored by the emperor and had just divorced her husband. In addition, this pregnancy was extremely difficult, so she agreed to have the abortion without hesitation.

During the operation, Xie Jiang discovered that the princess was born with only one fallopian tube, and the other was blocked. It was a miracle that she could get pregnant.

At the same time, after a series of investigations, it was discovered that many princesses of the Xia Dynasty died of complications during pregnancy and childbirth.

It was finally discovered that the princesses of the Xia Dynasty may have genetic defects. Most of them were born without one fallopian tube, which greatly increased the probability of ectopic pregnancy.

Among the several cases collected at that time, there was Princess Jing who died of childbirth complications four years ago.

Combining these two plots, Xie Run felt that the probability of the princess having an ectopic pregnancy had reached 99%.

But even if she knew, she would not be able to persuade the princess to have an abortion.

The princess may be pregnant with King Jing's legitimate son.

She came to marry the King of Jing on behalf of the Xia Dynasty. She had been married to him for eight years but had no children. She suffered a lot of grievances because of her childlessness... The princess said she would not abort the child no matter what.

Xie Run sat there thinking for a long time, asked Dan Tao for pen, ink and paper, and wrote a letter.

"Dan Tao, find someone to pass this letter to my eldest sister."

"Remember, this can only be given to my eldest sister. Don't let any of this leak out!"

Dan Tao said, "Master, what you mean is that the princess can't know about our delivery of the letter?"

All correspondence within the palace must pass through the Princess's threshold.

Xie Run nodded slowly.

Things are accomplished through secrecy, and are ruined through disclosure.

For Xie Run, the princess's life would definitely bring greater benefits than her death.

If Xie Jiang really has the ability to save the princess, it would naturally be a good thing.

But if he cannot be saved... he will be involved in many other things for no reason.

Xie Run did not dare to easily reveal his desire to interfere in this matter.

After all, many people hope that the princess will fall so that they can take the throne.

By protecting the princess, she also pushed herself to the opposite side of these people.

……

In Qingsong Courtyard, Tinghe had just sent Xie Run away when she heard the sound of the princess vomiting in the house.

She hurried into the house to serve.

After the princess stopped vomiting, Ting He said with a worried look on her face, "The master just vomited in front of Concubine Xie. She has given birth before, so she must be able to see something."

The princess ate a sour fruit to suppress her appetite, her face turned pale, and she leaned weakly on the pillow.

"I didn't intend to hide it from them originally, but I was afraid that some people would be upset when they heard about my pregnancy and cause some trouble."

Mother Li agreed, saying, "Concubine Xie has always been a quiet person. Even if she knew the mistress was pregnant, she wouldn't dare to have any other thoughts."

"But Concubine Fang, after being released, sent a maid to our courtyard to inquire. It seems that the prince's punishment was not severe enough and did not teach her a lesson."

"She must have forgotten that without you, Master, pleading for her, she would still be imprisoned in Songya Courtyard by the Prince!"

"This person really doesn't know how to write the word 'peaceful'!"

"That's enough!" The princess tried weakly to stop Mother Li. "Mom, send someone to Yunbi Pavilion to watch over it. Wait until Doctor Chen finishes examining the Sixth Young Master, and then invite him to Songya Court."

The princess's hand fell on her lower abdomen, and her tone was light and gentle.

"I've always felt like this pregnancy was incredibly difficult. Now, after only a month, I'm already feeling this uncomfortable... None of the other pregnant women in the mansion have ever seen me react like this."

The princess knows her own body best.

She has always been in good health, but since she became pregnant, she has been tired all the time and has even had bleeding from her lower body twice.

She was always worried that this baby...would not be born.

Mother Li quickly comforted the princess: "My Lord, please don't let your imagination run wild!"

"You feel tired, but that's all because you've been tending to the illness for a while now! As long as you get enough rest, you will definitely give birth to a healthy son for the prince in the future!"

The princess smiled bitterly: "Legitimate son?"

"I used to hope for a son, but now... it's better not to hope for one."

The situation in the court is already clear, and now King Jing has a chance of becoming the crown prince.

But if King Jing becomes the crown prince, how can she, a princess consort from a foreign country, become the crown prince?

Even if King Jing was willing, the ministers in the court would definitely try their best to stop him.

Since she cannot become the crown princess, naturally there is no question of whether she is the legitimate son or not. I am afraid she will become the target of everyone's fear.

When the time comes and the Xia Dynasty sees that she has the opportunity to become the crown princess, it will definitely send someone to intervene.

Just a little thought can foresee the chaos that will follow.

The princess had lived an uneventful life in Prince Jing's mansion for several years, but now she could already foresee the scene of endless fighting after she gave birth to a son.

too tired……

The princess supported her forehead with her hand, her eyelids slowly drooped, and her voice became low, "Mom, I'm a little tired, I want to rest for a while."

Mother Li quickly lowered her voice and said, "Master, I will be here to guard Qingsong Courtyard for you. You should have a good rest."

After the princess rested, Mother Li quickly sent someone to Yunbi Pavilion to ask for help, and told the little girl who delivered the message to invite Doctor Chen over no matter what.

Everyone has their own selfish motives.

Mother Li’s selfish motive is that the princess’s interests are the greatest, and even the Sixth Young Master has to step back.

At noon, Xie Runcai received the news that the Sixth Young Master was unwell because he was allergic to the scent of lilies.

She cried incessantly and almost suffocated. Even Concubine Wan was helpless and had to seek help from the imperial physician.

Xie Run took a sip of tea and said calmly, "This child has the same physique as his mother."

I have an allergic constitution, and I am telling everyone in this backyard that I have a fatal weakness.

"That's right." Dan Tao sighed, "Concubine Wan sent me a message saying that fortunately the smell was weak and came from the next room, so the Sixth Young Master was less affected."

"If someone secretly placed lily pollen in the room, the baby is so fragile, the Sixth Young Master might..."

Xie Run thought for a moment, "This way, Wan Linlang's chances of supporting the Sixth Young Master will increase a little more."

After all, now that we can’t even live in Yunbi Pavilion, we can only move to other courtyards?

"Just hope it's an accident."

After a pause, Xie Run asked again, "Who is investigating the matter of lily petals being placed in Concubine Lian's room?"

"I remember the princess only told Concubine Fang to take care of Concubine Lian's funeral, and didn't let her interfere with anything else?"

Dan Tao whispered, "It's the prince's people who are investigating."

"But without a supervisor to supervise us, the investigation is naturally a bit slow..."

Poor Concubine Lian, she was ignored during her lifetime and even after her death.

For such a small matter, there is still no news after checking for a whole day.
