The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 281 Wan Linlang is dead

Xie Run knew that something big must have happened in the palace last night, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly and suddenly.

When King An rebelled, King Jing led his troops to rescue him and made great contributions.

The emperor is still sitting on the Diaoyutai... In the original script, he lived to be over seventy years old and served as the emperor for more than ten years.

The situation is now very clear, and King Jing is likely to take the throne.

Xie Run was exhausted at the moment, so he wasn't too surprised.

I knew this a long time ago. I've endured for two years, through all the ups and downs, and finally I've made it.

What's the surprise?

When Prince Jing becomes the crown prince and then the emperor, she will only be more tired and will have to compete with more people... Let's just give up.

Xie Run thought about it and went back to lie down.

After lying down, Xie Run couldn't get up.

In the afternoon, Mother Li from the inner room broke the news, "The princess has a fever!"

Dan Tao went to call Xie Run, but she couldn't wake up after calling her twice. Seeing that her cheeks were flushed, she quickly called Xie Jiang to come and see.

Xie Jiang took the pulse and said calmly, "It's not a big deal, just a fever."

"She must be tired. Her nerves have been tense all the time. Now that she's relaxed, she's been stricken by the cold."

Xie Jiang asked another question: "Has she been sick for the past two years?"

Dan Tao was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately.

Xie Jiang: "Then take good care of her. Her illness is very severe and might be a little scary."

Seeing Dan Tao's face full of worry, Xie Jiang tried to comfort her with a few words: "The human body has disease energy. Occasionally getting sick and exposing the disease is a good thing."

“On the contrary, those who never get sick all year round are either too weak to dare get sick, or too strong to be sick, but once they do, it’s like a mountain falling down.”

Dan Tao understood a little, "Master is the second type that the young lady mentioned?"

Xie Jiang nodded: "It looks serious, but in fact, after getting through this period and taking good care of your body, it won't be a big problem."

Dan Tao obeyed and went to take care of Xie Run immediately.

Xie Run and the princess both had a fever, and her fever was even worse than the princess's. She was confused.

If Xie Jiang hadn't been there, the girls would have been extremely worried.

After tossing and turning in Qingsongyuan until midnight, the fever of the two people finally subsided.

Xie Jiang packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Mother Li was shocked. "Thank you, Doctor, you're leaving now. What will happen to the princess?!"

Xie Jiang said coldly, "She has already passed the most dangerous period. As long as she is well cared for, her body will slowly recover."

"I'll come and check her pulse every two days, so you don't have to worry too much."

"Besides, can't we hire an imperial physician in the mansion? It would be the same even if we had the imperial physician watching over us."

Mother Li naturally didn't want Xie Jiang to leave.

But Xie Jiang's words also reminded her.

Xie Jiang was neither an imperial physician nor a palace physician of the royal palace, and was not subject to any restrictions of the royal palace.

Mother Li was also afraid that forcing Xie Jiang to stay would anger him.

Unfortunately, Prince Jing was busy in and outside the palace at the time, and Xie Run fell ill again. Mother Li couldn't even find someone to mediate, and could only watch Xie Jiang leave.

Xie Run only learned about Xie Jiang's departure in the middle of the night. He said weakly, "My sister has two children to take care of. I'm afraid she can't stay outside for too long."

"Dan Tao, go to the warehouse and prepare some practical things for my sister. Prepare two copies of everything the children need..."

Dan Tao held her down distressedly, "Master, I know how to arrange it. You can rest first."

"The eldest lady said that you were sick because you were exhausted."

Xie Run didn't have the energy to say anything to Dan Tao. He nodded weakly and lay back on the bed.

Xie Run's illness came on very violently. His fever went away but came back again, and he was in torment for several days.

Even the news that King Jing had become the crown prince was something she heard from a maid when she woke up, and she had no time to ask for more information.

In mid-April, Xie Run's mind finally became a little clearer. She leaned on the bed and listened to Taotao's laughter next door.

In the main hall, Ting He was talking to Dan Tao.

Ting He asked with concern, "Is Concubine Xie feeling better? The farm sent some fresh fruit. The princess knew Concubine Xie loved these, so she specially asked me to bring them here."

Dan Tao's tone was a little soft, revealing worry: "The fever is gone, but I was a little sick a few days ago. Now I feel weak all day long. Doctor Xie said I need to take care of myself."

"Let me first thank the princess for the reward on behalf of my master."

Dan Tao asked, "How is the princess now?"

Ting He's voice was much lighter, and she smiled. "Master's health is getting better day by day. Doctor Xie is truly worthy of his reputation."

"The princess has already had a banner made, and it will be sent to Dr. Xie's clinic to hang."

"Yesterday, the Emperor also summoned Dr. Xie to the palace. I think it was because he heard of Dr. Xie's great reputation."

Dan Tao smiled and said, "Our prince has become the crown prince, and the princess will be the crown princess in the future. This is really...what a wonderful thing."

Ting He's smile faded a lot, and there was a hint of sadness in her voice, "I'm afraid this matter is difficult."

Dan Tao didn't ask too much.

Ting He mentioned another thing, "On the way here, someone passed on the news that Concubine Fang is now kneeling in the front yard to apologize."

Dan Tao was shocked, "But something happened to the Third Young Master?"

Ting He: "Prince An's followers were defeated by the prince and fled south with their men... How could the Third Young Master withstand such a torment?"

"Although the news is being kept strictly secret, Concubine Fang suddenly went to the front yard to apologize. I guess she must have received some news."

The two girls talked for a long time, and Xie Run began to feel a little tired after listening to them.

Dan Tao opened the curtain and came in. Seeing Xie Run leaning back, she hurried forward and asked, "Master, why are you sitting up?"

Xie Run asked lazily, "Are you in good spirits today? I just heard you and Ting He talking."

Dan Tao nodded, "Master, you have been drowsy these past few days, and we servants dare not tell you many things in the mansion."

"Besides Fang Yuan'er going to the front yard to kneel and beg the prince, what else is going on?"

Xie Run just asked casually.

Dan Tao handed over a bowl of hot tea and whispered, "Master, Concubine Wan is gone."

Xie Run paused in taking the tea and didn't react for a long time.

After a long while, she asked stiffly, "Who did you say is gone? How did they disappear?!"

Dan Tao repeated softly: "Concubine Wan."

"I heard it was crushed by a house during the aftershock in Qiangwu."

Xie Run slowed down, "Where's the body?"

Dan Tao shook her head. "I heard from the people from Qiang Wu that the land had completely sunk. Concubine Wan was the first to push the prince away, but she herself was trapped under the rubble."

"Master, you don't know yet. Qiangwu was hit by five earthquakes in a few days, and everyone in the entire county had to relocate."

"The city where Concubine Wan was trapped has been abandoned. The prince ordered people to dig, but they only found a few bloody corpses. Even the bodies could not be distinguished."

Xie Run immediately became alert and asked, "In other words, no one saw Concubine Wan's body?"

Dan Tao nodded: "Yes."

Xie Run lowered his eyes slightly.
