The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 135 Another betrayer?

"I know who I am, but I dare not say such words."

"Concubine Li has always been aloof and taciturn, and Concubine Wan is even worse than a servant... Even Concubine An can't say such a thing."

It can only be Fang Yuaner.

Xie Run felt quite uncomfortable after hearing this.

Fang Yuaner is the soul of a modern person and would not say such words under normal circumstances.

Unless... she has been assimilated into the environment.

Xie Run thought about it and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

She is not much better than Fang Yuaner.

The needle in his hand was poking around randomly.

Concubine Lu couldn't stand Xie Run's embroidery and gave some silent pointers.

"This stitch is wrong. If I keep doing it, the hat will be asymmetrical!"

Xie Run looked embarrassed, "Sister Lu is good at sewing?"

Concubine Lu said frankly: "When I was with Concubine An, I was always short of food and clothing. I had to do everything myself, so naturally I developed a lot of skills."

Xie Run: "That's perfect. Sister Lu, please come to Chunshan Courtyard often and give me some pointers."

Concubine Lu's eyes lit up, "I couldn't ask for more."

Xie Run is favored and now has a son.

If Concubine Lu only visited a few more times, her life would be much better.

It wasn’t that Concubine Lu didn’t want to come before, but the things between her and Concubine An needed time to fade away.

Otherwise, if she came to his house, she would bring rumors to Xie Run.

She has always been self-aware and would not do anything unpleasant in front of Xie Run.

It just so happened that Concubine An had not raised her two children well some time ago, and now that the situation had changed, Concubine Lu dared to go out for a walk.

Concubine Lu asked curiously, "I wonder what the personalities of the new Concubine Fang and Concubine Lian are like?"

Xie Run said with a smile: "It's okay for Concubine Lian, but Concubine Fang is also an old lady in the palace. How can you say that?"

Concubine Lu smiled faintly and said, "This servant is familiar with the former beauty, but not with the current concubine Fang."

Originally, everyone thought that Concubine Yun promoted Fangse to the position in order to consolidate her favor.

But just a few days after Fangse became Fang's concubine, Concubine Yun suddenly died of illness.

The reason why Fangse came to power is very suspicious.

You know, Concubine Yun originally wanted to support a maid named Fangcao, but in the end it was Fangse who served King Jing.

People outside said that King Jing chose Fangse himself.

But the woman in the backyard wouldn't see it that way.

Instead, they thought that Fangse might have used some trick to seduce King Jing.

Continuing to infer, I couldn't help but wonder whether Fangse had betrayed Concubine Yun.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Some news, when spread around, seems to have been proven.

Now everyone in the courtyard says that Fangse is the second concubine Lu, who rose to power by betraying her master.

He also said that Fangse was actually more cruel than Concubine Lu, and that she rose to power by stepping on Concubine Yun's life.

But Fangse didn't defend herself, as if she agreed.

Aren't there rumors flying everywhere these days?

Xie Run guessed the truth behind Concubine Yun's death, but he was not sure what was going on with Fang Se.

Could it be that Fangse really became King Jing's concubine by betraying Concubine Yun?

After thinking for a long time, Xie Run felt that he might as well go and ask King Jing directly.

She sighed, "With one less concubine in the palace, the people below will have the opportunity to rise. I'm afraid things will get busy again."

Concubine Lu had severe uterine coldness and had caused so many unpleasant things that King Jing disliked her.

She was determined to be a concubine for the rest of her life.

After hearing this, I felt quite relaxed, like watching a play.

"That's true. I just hope there won't be another Han concubine. The mansion can't afford such trouble."

While we were chatting and laughing, it was already lunch time.

As soon as Concubine Lu left, King Jing arrived.

As usual, he looked after the child first.

The child grew quickly and became plump and white in a short time. He smiled whenever he saw people, revealing the dimples on his cheeks.

Not to mention King Jing, few who have met Taotao dislike him.

He was born a month later than the third and fourth young masters, but now he eats and drinks well and is even fatter than the other two.

King Jing was happy just looking at Taotao.

I happily played with him for a long time before going to see Xie Run.

After some banter, King Jing said, "I will be leaving the capital soon."

Xie Run was slightly startled, as if a little surprised: "So fast?"

She glanced outside and said, "Taotao isn't even a month old yet."

His tone was full of reluctance.

"I'm afraid it's too late." King Jing patted Xie Run's hand, "I chose a word for Tao Tao, come and take a look."

As he spoke, he unfolded a piece of paper.

Xie Run lowered his eyes and took a look. "Cong? This word is really good!"

"Xiao Cong? Your Highness is really good at naming!" Xie Run praised subconsciously.

The third and fourth sons were also given names when they were one month old.

The third son was named Qiong, and the fourth son was named Rui.

Xie Run felt that his son's Cong was not unusual.

Prince Jing stuffed the paper into Xie Run's hand and said, "While I'm away from home, you can take care of Taotao with peace of mind."

"No matter what happens, don't worry. Wait for me to come back and deal with it."

Xie Run nodded and said softly, "The princess is here, I'm not afraid of anything. I'll just wait for the prince to come back."

When saying this, Xie Run's eyebrows and eyes were calm and his demeanor was indifferent.

King Jing was very satisfied.

After leaving Chunshanyuan, King Jing went to Qingsongyuan.

He gave the princess another set of instructions.

Of course, it is different from what I said to Xie Run.

After everything was done, King Jing went to the palace to meet His Majesty early the next morning.

It is not known what King Jing said to the emperor, but the emperor directly ordered him to go to Yunzhou to provide disaster relief.

After Chun Juan finished finding out the news, he came back and quickly told Xie Run, "Just as I found out the news, the door was closed!"

The opening and closing of the palace gates have always been in accordance with the orders of King Jing and the Queen.

Xie Run was originally teasing Tao Tao, but when he heard this, he asked, "What big thing happened?"

Chunjuan quickly told the news he had heard.

"His Majesty has issued an order for the prince to leave the capital immediately and go to Yunzhou to provide disaster relief."

"Now everyone in and outside the palace is discussing that the prince has asked for permission to leave because he and Prince Su have fallen out and no longer want to stay in the capital."

During the period when he had a falling out with Prince Su, Prince Su's palace often sent invitations to his door, with the original intention of giving him a way out.

If King Jing takes this step, the two sides will naturally be able to reconcile.

But King Jing refused to give in.

Prince Su was actually interested in visiting the house and performing a plea for forgiveness to earn a good reputation for himself.

But he was afraid that King Jing was stubborn and would not respond to his suggestion.

By then, Prince Su would be really embarrassed.

So, one of them was unwilling to give up the position, and the other was unwilling to lose face, so the two brothers remained deadlocked.

Chun Juan added, "Some say that the prince angered His Majesty and was exiled to Yunzhou."

"Disaster relief always requires a lot of preparation, but Your Majesty said we'll go immediately, but you didn't give us money or supplies, leaving us with nothing to do with the relief work?"

When Chunjuan thought of the news, he immediately looked worried.

"Luckily, the princess had already prepared the things that the prince would need for his trip. Now that the prince has packed up the things, he didn't even return to the palace, but headed straight to Yunzhou."

After hearing this, Xie Run thought that this imperial edict might have been requested by King Jing himself.

In a few days, the eighth prince will be in trouble.

When the time comes and Prince Su and the Queen are involved, if Prince Jing doesn't run away now, when will he run away?

But the timing is just too coincidental.

Xie Run has already determined that one of Fang Yuaner or Wan Linlang must have used the "prophecy" character.

Or maybe two people did it at the same time.

It's also easy to know the truth.

As long as we wait for King Jing to return victorious, we can guess who will benefit the most in the backyard.
