The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 136 Concubine Jiang started shaking again

King Jing, a marginal prince, has never been able to get involved in the real center of power.

His departure was just like a stone falling to the bottom of the lake, stirring up a few ripples before returning to calm.

As soon as King Jing left, the princess closed the door.

Except for some necessary banquets, I refused all others.

The entire Prince Jing's Mansion became secluded.

Xie Run focused on raising her child, and she felt a sense of accomplishment as she watched Taotao grow fatter day by day.

On the fifth day after King Jing left, Chunjuan came hurriedly with a report.

"Master, something serious has happened!"

Xie Run was very calm, "What happened?"

"The Eighth Prince fell from his horse."

Xie Run paused, then feigned surprise, "The Eighth Prince fell off his horse? How could a perfectly healthy person fall off a horse?"

"Do you know how he is doing now?"

Chun Juan was frightened to death by the news, sweat dripping down his forehead. "I heard that the Eighth Prince felt the palace was too boring, so he asked the Seventh Prince to go horse racing in the suburbs together."

"Who would have thought that he would ride all the way, but before he even left the imperial city, the horse got frightened and ran into a wall."

"The Eighth Prince fainted on the spot."

"The emperor was very angry when he heard the news."

"When the emperor is angry, corpses will float for a hundred miles." Xie Run's eyes were solemn: "I just hope the Eighth Prince is okay."

Although he said so, Xie Run knew that the Eighth Prince might not live long.

“Everyone thinks so.”

"If something happens to the Eighth Prince, I wonder how angry His Majesty will be..."

Xie Run asked someone to bring Chunjuan a cup of tea and leaned lazily on the bed.

But I was thinking in my heart that the battle for the throne has finally begun.

The eighth prince fell off his horse this time and is probably in danger of death.

The emperor was furious and checked carefully, and found that neither Prince Su nor the queen could escape.

The three parties are fighting to see who will come out on top.

Xie Run specifically called Dan Tao over and told her, "Tao Tao's full moon banquet will be in three days. Tell the princess that we will set up a banquet and have fun in the courtyard."

"In troubled times, avoid them if you can."

Dan Tao agreed, but she felt very sorry for her fifth son. "The full moon banquet is fine, but looking at the current situation, I wonder if the hundred-day banquet can be held?"

"Fifth Young Master Yuxue is lovely, but the people outside are restless, and she has suffered a lot of injustice for no reason."

Xie Run just found it funny. "He just eats and sleeps every day. What grievances could he have?"

"You are the ones who feel sorry for him and always overthink things. This is what makes you wronged."

Dan Tao was slightly annoyed: "This servant is worried about the Fifth Young Master, but the master, as a mother, is mocking this servant."

"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Xie Run smiled helplessly, "I only said that it was just a small matter, so don't complain. This is a turbulent time, and if some rumors get out, it will be bad for both you and me."

Dan Tao nodded: "This servant saved the trouble. I only said a few words in front of you."

As the two were talking, Xiao Shu, who had just returned to Chunshanyuan, came back angrily.

Dan Tao was curious, "Didn't you take the little girl to pick up the food? What happened?"

"Don't say that, the master's meal was almost snatched away by someone else!"

Xiao Shu was so angry.

Dan Tao asked curiously, "Who is so bold as to steal the master's meal?"

Given the level of favor Xie Run enjoys now, only Fang Yuan'er in the backyard of Prince Jing's Mansion can compete with her for a point or two.

But Fang Yuaner has always been proud and would never disgust anyone with these little things.

Xiao Shu gritted her teeth and said, "Who else could it be? The only concubine in our mansion."

"The dishes were already prepared in the kitchen. The people from Songya Court insisted that Concubine Jiang liked them and reached out to take them."

"Fortunately, I was quick-witted and prepared the master's meal in advance."

Dan Tao was silent for a moment. "The prince just left, and Concubine Jiang is already getting restless?"

Concubine Jiang is still under house arrest.

Dan Tao and Xiao Shu had seen many people doing things secretly in the mansion, but there was only one person who was as disgusting as Concubine Jiang.

Xiao Shu snorted softly, "Isn't it? I'm afraid he didn't learn enough from last time."

"Now that the prince has left, she's shaking again."

"She probably thinks that besides the princess, she is the boss in the palace, so who else can she be afraid of?"

Given Jiang Baobao's personality, the people in the backyard were sure that she would not be able to stay still.

Because of the previous incident, Jiang Baobao and Xie Run became enemies, and everyone was waiting for her to come out from under house arrest to watch the fun.

But no one could have imagined that Jiang Baobao had already started to make moves while he was still under house arrest.

Xiao Shu asked, "Sister Dan Tao, should we tell the Master about this?"

Dan Tao nodded: "Of course I will tell you."

"Since Concubine Jiang has set her sights on the Master's meals, this is probably just the beginning."

"Master, if you know about this, you can take precautions."

After Xie Run finished his meal, he heard the whole story from Xiao Shu and Dan Tao.

She thought quietly for a while before saying, "Don't worry, let's see what she does next."

It has been almost a month since Xie Run gave birth.

Now that King Jing is not around, she is planning to spend the full two months of confinement.

I just hope that Baobao Jiang will cause trouble later, and at least wait until she recovers before going to the battlefield.

The people from Songyayuan tried to rob the place but failed, and did not take any other action in the short term.

Xie Run only asked people to keep an eye on Songyayuan.

I was surprised to find that this Concubine Jiang was really a strange person.

Her restlessness was not only directed at Xie Run, but was equally directed at every woman in the backyard.

First, he asked his men to steal Xie Run's food, and then he called the new concubine Lian to his yard to bully her.

Concubine Lian only served Prince Jing for one night when she was drunk, and she never saw Prince Jing since she entered the palace.

Because of her ugly background, the concubines in the harem didn't like to associate with her.

Even the maids who served her didn't care much.

Concubine Lian was completely in the dark and lived cautiously in the mansion. She also didn't know much about the only concubine in the mansion.

When Concubine Jiang's men arrived, she followed them in fear and trepidation.

Once you arrive at Songyayuan, you will naturally be at the mercy of others.

Xiao Shu is the most well-informed.

As soon as Concubine Lian left Songya Courtyard, Xiao Shu came to Xie Run to report the matter.

"I heard that Concubine Lian left Songya Court in tears. She kept touching her arm, as if it was in great pain. I don't know what method Concubine Jiang used to torture her."

Xie Run is drinking medicinal food to regulate his body.

The bland taste seemed to have some flavor because of Xiaoshu's words.

She was puzzled and asked, "How dare she be so arrogant?"

Even before his house arrest was lifted, he openly bullied the concubines in the mansion.
