The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 253 A Letter from My Sister

In these turbulent times, Xie Run finally received a reply from his elder sister!

As soon as Chunjuan received the letter, he delivered it to Xie Run.

After reading it, Xie Run took a deep breath and said, "Now, it all depends on fate."

Dan Tao was coaxing Tao Tao and asked curiously, "Master, what is fate?"

Xiao Shu laughed and said, "Is the eldest lady going back to the capital?!"

"I heard that the young lady displayed her miraculous powers in Mizhou, performing a cesarean section on a woman in labor, saving both mother and child. Doctors from all over were amazed!"

Everything Xie Jiang did outside was more shocking than the last.

Some people were afraid of her after hearing it, but others admired and envied her.

Xiao Shu belongs to the latter category.

Xie Runping dismissed the servants and said to his two personal maids, "I suspect the princess is having a difficult pregnancy. I'm afraid both mother and child will be in danger."

After hearing this, Xiao Shu and Dan Tao's expressions changed instantly, and they were obviously very scared.

Dan Tao: "Master, the maids and servants in Qingsong Courtyard seem to be moving around naturally. They don't seem to be in trouble."

Xie Run smiled faintly: "This only shows that the princess knows how to teach people."

Dan Tao: "That's right. The baby hasn't even settled yet, but the imperial physician has been alerted twice. Last time, it was because of spotting, and this time, he refused to even reveal any information."

"I also suspected that the princess's pregnancy was unstable. I just couldn't be sure..."

Xiao Shu was paying more attention to Xie Jiang. Her mind was racing, and she immediately asked, "The master wrote to ask the young lady to return to the capital. Was it to save the princess?"

"But... why did Master want to save the princess?" Xiao Shu looked at Xie Run seriously. "Let me say something selfish. Even if the princess's pregnancy was truly unstable, Master shouldn't have rashly intervened."

"It would be fine if we managed it well, but how much credit can that bring? If we don't, the blame will fall on you, the master!"

Xiao Shu gritted her teeth and said, "If you say something greedy again, there is a princess in the mansion, and the master can only be a concubine in this life."

"If something really happened to the princess, it wasn't your fault, Master. You are favored and have children, so perhaps you can..."

"Impossible!" Xie Run interrupted Xiao Shu harshly before she could finish.

She said seriously, "Xiao Shu, there is no princess in Prince Jing's Mansion. Anyone can become a princess."

"If I think I'm favored and have children, I can hope for something I shouldn't, which is to be the next Ning concubine!"

Xiao Shu was frightened by Xie Run and shivered. She quickly bowed and said, "It was my fault that I was blinded by my own greed!"

Xie Run breathed a sigh of relief, "Just remember, if the princess is well, then this backyard will be well, and so will we!"

The two girls nodded in unison.

Xie Runcai said, "My eldest sister is coming back from Mizhou this time. It will take her quite a while to travel. I don't know when she will arrive in the capital. I just hope she doesn't miss the time."

The princess's pregnancy becomes more and more dangerous as time goes on.

In her previous life, she died of complications during childbirth in May.

If I want to save her in this lifetime, I can't wait until May, I have to do it earlier.

Xie Jiang holds the script of the heroine, and not only does she have the aura of a heroine, but she also has the ability to stir up trouble like a heroine.

The distance from Mizhou to the capital is not far, but it is not certain when Xie Jiang will be able to walk back.

"When I say it depends on fate, I mean if we meet, that would be great. If not... I can only say it's fate."

Xie Run wanted to take charge of the princess's affairs, but he didn't dare to interfere too much.

If you arbitrarily interfere with the karma of others, will it eventually cause a chain reaction that backfires on you?

She didn't have children before, so she dared to take a chance.

Now that she has Taotao, she doesn't want to get herself into trouble.

Dan Tao was even more worried: "The situation in the capital is not good right now. It's a good thing that the eldest lady is back. At least the sisters are united and life can be more stable."

The master, servant and the other two all felt as if there was a layer of haze covering their heads.

In Qingsong Courtyard, the princess also had a hard time.

The imperial physician of the Imperial Medical Bureau was no fool and had already noticed that something was wrong with the princess' pregnancy.

The experienced old doctor hesitated for a long time before saying, "The biggest problem with the princess's pregnancy is that the fetus did not land in the uterus."

"The heavens, the earth, the sun, the moon, all have their place, and so does the fetus."

"If it falls inside the palace, both mother and child will be reunited. But if it falls outside the palace..."

The imperial physician's voice trembled.

Mother Li asked worriedly, "What if we fall outside the palace?!"

The imperial physician thought for a moment and then tried to describe it: "The five internal organs in the human body each have their own place. If something is suddenly inserted, and this thing grows larger and larger, it will squeeze the position of the internal organs."

"Finally, the internal organs will have nowhere to go and will be crushed..."

When Mother Li heard this, her eyes instantly turned red.

"I've lived for decades and have never heard of anything so outrageous. Is the imperial physician deliberately deceiving us?!"

"You're going to crush my internal organs while I'm pregnant?! Are you cursing our princess?!"

The imperial physician quickly said, "It's just a metaphor, a metaphor!"

The princess weakly pulled Mother Li's hand.

Mother Li shut up immediately, tears streaming down her face.

The princess said calmly, "According to the imperial physician, what should we do?"

The imperial physician sighed, "In my opinion, Princess, it's best for you to take the medicine sooner rather than later... the sooner the better!"

"It's not even three months yet, and the fetus isn't big. The further it gets, the harder it will be to treat. By then, I, an old minister, will be powerless to help."

"The sooner you get rid of the disaster, the more likely you are to save your life!"

Mother Li's eyes were blurred with tears. "My mistress endured eight years and finally got pregnant with this child. How can you just say you don't want her?!"

"This is the prince's legitimate son!"

The princess couldn't bear it either. She bit her lip and asked, "Is it true that this child can't be born?"

The imperial physician hesitated before saying, "I, an old minister, would not dare to deceive the princess."

"Some time ago, this old minister and my colleagues checked the files collected by the Imperial Hospital and indeed found that a woman had successfully conceived a child."

"There are only a few hundred cases, and only this one has been successful... The risk is too great."

The imperial physician picked up the medicine box and hung it on his shoulder, then clasped his fists towards the princess and said, "I hope the princess will make a decision soon!"

After the imperial physician left, Mother Li lay beside the princess and cried.

"My poor master, why is his fate so unfortunate?!"

"I was not favored since I was a child and was bullied growing up."

"I've finally reached the age of marriage, hoping to choose a good husband and live out the rest of my life in peace. Who would have thought that the two dynasties would become friendly and bring up the idea of marriage?"

"They took advantage of the fact that our master was helpless and sent him to the Great Yu Dynasty."

"After eight years of enduring painstaking efforts, I finally had a child, and now things are so dangerous..."

Mother Li felt a sharp pain in her heart, but she was also cautious, otherwise she would have scolded even more harshly.

It was said that the two dynasties were on good terms, but the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty did not take the signed agreement seriously at all.

Looking at the princess who was sent to marry, he casually pointed at an unpopular prince and sent the princess away.

At that time, King Jing's status was lower than that of the princess.
