The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 218 The Princess is Pregnant

After serving the princess her medicine, Xie Run prepared to leave Qingsong Courtyard.

Who knew that just as he left the house, he would run into Suiyu, who was beside Wan Linlang. She hurried over and pulled the gatekeeper, saying, "The Sixth Young Master is unwell. Please tell the princess quickly and ask the palace to send the imperial physician!"

The gatekeeper knew that this was a big deal and did not dare to delay.

Xie Run watched from the side and said, "If I remember correctly, today is the day when Imperial Physician Chen checked Concubine Fang's pulse."

"Concubine Fang is in Yunbi Pavilion. Why do we have to go to Qingsong Courtyard to invite her?"

Suiyu never expected to meet Xie Run at the gate of Qingsong Courtyard, and she never expected that Concubine Xie would know about Concubine Fang asking for Ping's pulse.

Her master did not trust Concubine Fang, so after the Sixth Young Master got into trouble, he asked her to come to Qingsong Courtyard as soon as possible.

So far, Concubine Fang still doesn’t know.

Naturally, she didn't know that Imperial Physician Chen was going to check Concubine Fang's pulse today, and that this was happening at Songya Courtyard.

Suiyu thought to herself that this was going to be bad.

She stammered, "Slave girl, slave girl doesn't know either."

Xie Run's face darkened. "Could it be that Concubine Wan didn't tell Concubine Fang about the Sixth Young Master's illness?!"

Suiyu subconsciously retorted: "Of course not!"

"So Concubine Fang knew that the Sixth Young Master was unwell, but she still refused to let the imperial physician treat him?!"

"Not really!" How could Suiyu dare to answer this.

This matter cannot withstand confrontation. If the responsibility is put on Concubine Fang, Concubine Fang will probably tear her and her master apart.

Xie Run frowned.

The Sixth Young Master's incident has been brought to her attention, and she can't just pretend she knows nothing and ignore it.

By the time the maids go in to inform the princess that the process has been completed, it’s unclear whether the Sixth Young Master can hold on.

Xie Run immediately called the little girl next to him over and took off a bracelet from his hand.

"Take this bracelet and call the fastest person in your courtyard. Have her run to Songya Courtyard and bring Doctor Chen to Yunbi Pavilion to treat the Sixth Young Master immediately."

"This is a matter of great importance concerning the life of the prince of the palace! If anyone dares to question it, show them my bracelet!"

The little girl also knew the priorities and responded, "I'll go right away!"

After saying that, he ran away.

Xie Run had no choice but to turn around and go back to Qingsong Courtyard to explain things to the princess.

Xie Run didn't know whether the Sixth Young Master's sudden illness was intentional or an accident.

But Wan Linlang's decision to bypass Fang Yuan'er and run to Qingsong Courtyard to ask for the imperial physician must have been intentional.

Wan Linlang was probably afraid that Fang Yuaner would stop her from raising the Sixth Young Master, so whenever something happened to the Sixth Young Master, she would bypass Fang Yuaner and quietly ask the maid to come to Qingsong Court to ask for help.

But she didn't know that Fang Yuan'er had a royal physician.

If Fang Yuan'er had been told in advance, the Sixth Young Master could have received treatment from the imperial physician as soon as possible.

Wan Linlang's vigilance was not wrong, but her mistake was that because of her selfishness, she delayed the Sixth Young Master's imperial physician from treating him.

After this incident came to light, it might not be so easy for Wan Linlang to support the Sixth Young Master.

When the princess received the news, her reaction was the same as Xie Run's.

But she has a worse temper than Xie Run.

He immediately threw the bowl down and said sullenly, "Don't think I don't know what your master is thinking!"

"No matter how selfish she is, she can't joke about the safety of the prince's offspring!"

"If the Sixth Young Master's treatment is delayed because of her, neither your life nor your master's life will be enough to compensate!"

Suiyu was so frightened that she begged for mercy repeatedly.

The princess then said to Xie Run, "Thank goodness you reacted quickly! And made good arrangements!"

"When the prince returns, I will report this matter to him and reward you handsomely!"

Xie Run smiled bitterly: "I don't need any praise, I just hope that the Sixth Young Master is alright."

The princess said angrily, "Concubine Wan is going too far!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the princess suddenly covered her chest with her hands, looking like she wanted to vomit.

Xie Run said tactfully, "Tao Tao is still in the front yard. I'm worried about him, so I won't bother the princess here."

The princess waved her hand: "Go ahead."

After leaving Qingsong Courtyard, Dan Tao said tremblingly, "Princess, what did you just do... is it possible that you are pregnant?"

Xie Run glanced at her, his eyes revealing a bit of coldness, "Don't talk nonsense."

"Yes." Dan Tao immediately understood.

Xie Run sighed deeply.

She thought the palace was already chaotic enough before.

I just realized today that the real chaos hasn’t arrived yet.

Back in the yard, she drank a sip of tea to suppress her emotions, and calmed down to think carefully.

Today I met Qiuxiang sent by Fang Yuaner at Qingsong Courtyard. I think Fang Yuaner should have noticed something, but she was not sure, so she sent Qiuxiang to find out the news.

Now Xie Run can be very sure that the princess is pregnant.

This is not good news.

This is not good news. It's not that Xie Run is afraid that the princess will give birth to a legitimate son and Taotao will lose the right of inheritance.

But he was afraid that the princess would die twice because of this pregnancy!

The palace was already unstable. If the princess was gone, with a bunch of demons and monsters running rampant, Xie Run had no confidence that he could protect himself and Taotao.

If King Jing remarries, it is uncertain what kind of character the new princess will have.

At that time, Xie Run would have to spend the rest of his life gambling on the new princess's temper. It was unbearable just thinking about it.

In the original plot, the princess became pregnant at this time.

This pregnancy was particularly difficult for her. She felt very uncomfortable in the early stages and had signs of miscarriage.

She started to protect the fetus at three months old, but suddenly had a heavy hemorrhage at five months old, resulting in two deaths. The death happened shortly after King Jing was appointed crown prince.

At that time, it caused a lot of turmoil inside and outside the court.

Although the situation in this life was very different from that in the previous life, the princess still became pregnant as expected.

I'm afraid Fang Yuan'er and Wan Linlang are not sure whether the princess's pregnancy this time will be the same as in her previous life.

Xie Run knew that if the princess did not abort the child early, the final outcome would be two lives and one corpse!
