The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 117 Ignore

When Xie Run heard that Concubine An had a dream that scared her and made her become angry, he was speechless.

She was really confused as to how Concubine An was able to conceive and give birth to a child safely in the palace?

Because of the collapse of the Zichen Palace, Concubine An also planned to keep a low profile and did not hold a third-day baptism banquet for her two children.

On the seventh day after the collapse of the Purple Palace, the emperor could not withstand the pressure from his ministers and demoted Concubine Chen to a commoner. He sent her to a Taoist temple and gave her the title of Lady Wangyuan.

Hearing this title, everyone knew that the emperor would never forget Concubine Chen.

It was only under pressure that he had to demote Concubine Chen to a commoner.

After all, the eighth prince still lives in the palace and is deeply loved by the emperor.

However, this was also the result of the game between the ministers and the emperor, which temporarily suppressed the public discussion.

Only Xie Run and Fang Yuaner, who knew the plot, knew the answer.

The emperor was not unable to withstand the pressure from his ministers.

He was just scared!

In the past, he favored only Concubine Chen and never cared about the opinions of his ministers and the people. That was because he was the emperor and no one could threaten his position.

But now the Purple Palace collapsed, and it was when he summoned the Concubine Chen to sleep with him.

Not to mention that the emperor believed in ghosts and gods, even if he was not a believer, he could not help but feel uneasy at this moment, thinking that it was the anger of the gods.

No matter how much he dotes on Concubine Chen, she is not as important as himself.

So the emperor pretended that he could not withstand the pressure from his ministers, and deposed Concubine Chen. He also took the eighth prince with him to show that he still did not forget their old feelings.

The emperor's thoughts are difficult to guess, but also not difficult to guess.

Xie Run also knew that in a month or two, the arrogant and domineering Eighth Prince would fall off his horse in the street and die tragically.

Prince Su and the Queen, who conspired in this matter, will both bear the immense wrath of Emperor Yuan Hong.

However, these were matters outside the palace. As a concubine, she did not dare to interfere, nor did she have any way to interfere.

Xie Run didn't know that King Jing became suspicious because of Fang Yuaner and Wan Linlang's prediction game.

He had already sent people to the Zichen Palace to investigate.

He also found out the reason for the collapse of the Purple Palace and even learned about the plans of Prince Su and the Queen.

In other words, everything that happened between Prince Su and the Queen was seen by Prince Jing.

His path to becoming an emperor in this life will be smoother than in his previous life.

Xie Run tensed up and kept a close eye on the news outside. Unexpectedly, something happened in the mansion before anything happened to the Eighth Prince.

Luzhi went to collect her share early in the morning. As soon as she walked out of the yard gate, she heard someone shouting, "Something bad happened."

She followed and watched, then after finding out the news, she immediately returned to Chunshan Court to report to Xie Run.

"Master, something happened in Concubine An's courtyard."

Xie Run was chatting with two elderly mothers, asking about things they should be careful about when raising children.

After hearing what Luzhi said, he asked, "What happened?"

Green Branch: "They said the charcoal in the room was burning too strong and they forgot to open the window. It took them a long time to find out that the two children were sleeping soundly and couldn't be woken up."

When the two old mothers heard this, their faces changed immediately.

"Oh no, something might happen!"

Xie Run suspected it was carbon monoxide poisoning, but he pretended not to know. He asked with a little fear, "Do you two mothers know what's going on?"

"But what effect will it have on the children?"

One mother was impatient and said immediately, "Master, you don't know. This charcoal gas is poisonous if it burns for a long time. You must open the window to let the gas out."

"There was a woman on my street who fell asleep while burning charcoal. The smoke was so thick that it made her child faint. The child became a fool!"

Another mother added quietly, "There was a woman in our village who tried to commit suicide by sealing her house and burning charcoal. In less than half a day, she was gone."

Luzhi's expression turned pale with fear. "Is it really that serious?"

"I saw Concubine An in the courtyard and went to inform the princess. I guess she wanted to ask the imperial physician to come and treat her."

Xie Run suddenly thought: "If I remember correctly, today is the day when Doctor Fang checked my pulse?"

Luzhi's eyes lit up, "According to the time, Doctor Fang should be on his way now!"

Xie Run said, "Send a quick maid to Qingsong Courtyard to report back and have the princess send someone to fetch Doctor Fang."

"If I go to the palace now and hand in a sign to ask for the imperial physician, I'm afraid he won't be able to come for a while."

Luzhi agreed: "Yes! I will arrange for someone right away!"

As soon as Luzhi left, Xie Run gave the two mothers some silver as a reward and sent them away.

Dan Tao came in, "Master, are you worried about the Second Princess and the Fourth Young Master?"

Xie Run shook his head. "I'm worried about myself."

"These are turbulent times, and I'm about to give birth. I just hope there won't be any trouble."

Dan Tao smiled and said, "Since the death of Concubine Ning and Concubine Han, the mansion has been much more peaceful recently."

"The court is in turmoil right now, and the princess is guarding the backyard tightly. Master, as long as you keep a tight watch on the gate of Chunshan Courtyard, there will be no accidents."

"Really?" Xie Run thought this was the case, but he still felt a little uneasy.

Especially when I heard that something happened to Concubine An's twins, it reached its peak.

Xie Run: "The tree wants to be still, but the wind does not stop."

"What else have I overlooked?"

Xiao Shu and Dan Tao couldn't think of anything for a moment, but Hong Xi beside them asked softly, "When the master gives birth, do you want to ask someone from the family to accompany her?"

"Master Fang was born prematurely, and there was no time for the family to send anyone. Master An has no one at home."

"Since the Master's sister is in the capital, why not let the Young Miss come and keep you company?"

Xie Run was stunned.

Dan Tao was also reminded of this and was delighted. "The princess has always been lenient on these matters. I've heard of similar cases in every royal palace."

"As long as the master asks, the princess will definitely agree!"

"The master is so dependent on the young lady. If the young lady can accompany the master during childbirth, it will probably put the master's mind at ease."

Xie Run twitched the corners of his mouth, but couldn't laugh.

Xie Jiang was currently trying her best to conceal her pregnancy. How could she possibly run to the palace and show herself in public with a six-month-old belly?

"Not appropriate." Xie Run shook his head slowly.

Xie Jiang couldn't come, Xie's mother was thousands of miles away, and there were no relatives of the Xie family in the capital.

After thinking about it, Dan Tao had to give up the idea.

Xie Run: "But Hongxi's words reminded me of where I missed something."

Xie Run lowered his eyes.

Influenced by the original plot, she actually ignored the original owner's maternal family and the things happening outside.

She didn't die, Xie Jiang became famous in the capital, and Xie Jing passed the imperial examination... The Xie family was thriving.

But no one knows whether they are potentially dangerous.

And there is one more thing...the original owner's childhood sweetheart next door!

This is an obvious bomb.

Xie Run entered the palace and did not investigate what happened outside the palace. He did not know what happened to the man.

The Xie family and this childhood sweetheart are indeed a big hidden danger.

After much deliberation, Xie Run picked up his pen and wrote a letter to both Xie Jiang and Xie Jing.

Dan Tao was serving her with writing brushes and ink, and asked in confusion, "If the master wants to know about the Xie family's situation, why doesn't he ask the eldest son, but the eldest daughter?"

Xie Jing will definitely be the head of the Xie family in the future.

Xie Jing definitely knows more about many things than Xie Jiang.
