The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 279 Watching in Person

It was only later that he learned that Xie Jiang had performed a caesarean section on the princess, and he was shocked.

Since then, I have had even more respect for Mr. Xie Jiang.

The palace was in chaos now. After Prince Jing made sure that the princess was fine, he went to visit the eldest son first.

He thought Xie Run would go with him.

Unexpectedly, Xie Runchen frowned and said very meekly, "The princess just finished the operation."

"My eldest sister said that no one can come in or touch it at will. If you're not careful, everything will go to waste."

"This matter concerns the princess's life. I must personally monitor it and not neglect it in the slightest!"

Prince Jing looked at Xie Run seriously for a few seconds and said, "Then I'll leave the princess to you."

Xie Run bowed, "I obey your orders."

King Jing was really confused and curious.

He knew that Xie Run hated to be involved with other people in the palace.

When King Jing heard today that she had asked her own sister to treat the princess, he already thought it was quite strange.

After all, if anything goes wrong with the princess, Xie Run will be in trouble.

Now she even has to take care of the princess's affairs after the operation, as if she is afraid that something might happen to the princess.

King Jing didn't think Xie Run was trying to please the princess in order to gain some advantage.

Firstly, she didn't have the courage to do anything bad, and secondly, she didn't lack any benefits from being the princess.

If Xie Run really wanted to gain something from it, he should have hoped for the princess's death so that he could take the throne.

Prince Jing couldn't see through it, and in the end he could only guess that Xie Run was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see the princess disappear like this.

King Jing's eyes softened as he looked at Xie Run. "Princess, I feel at ease knowing you're here."

Xie Run watched King Jing leave, then turned around and glanced at the maids and servants around him, "Divine Doctor Xie said that people carry germs and five poisons, and they can spread infection through contact."

"The princess has just had surgery and is very weak. She must not be exposed to these germs!"

"From now on, except for those who look after the princess, anyone entering or leaving the princess's bedroom must obtain the prince's warrant!"

"Go to the storehouse and get some mugwort. Use it near the princess' bedroom every day to ward off the five poisonous creatures, or to get rid of some insects and ants."

……

Mother Li and Tinghe, who rushed over, heard Xie Run's orders one by one, all for the good of the princess, and they felt mixed emotions.

The two stepped forward and bowed. Mother Li said with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, Concubine, for your concern and kindness. We will never forget it."

"When the princess feels better, I will thank you in person."

Xie Run smiled lightly and said sincerely, "I am grateful to the princess for being an excellent mistress. I have been taken care of by her for a long time, and it is time to repay her."

"Now I just hope that the princess can recover soon so that she can take over the affairs of the palace and let me continue to live a lazy and leisurely life."

She spoke very sincerely, and both Mother Li and Tinghe were in tears.

Xie Run waved his hand, "Alright, both of you hurry in and take care of the princess."

"I'll personally be guarding the door with my men. If you need anything, just shout. I won't hesitate to provide anything."

"Dr. Xie is also resting next door. If the princess feels unwell, he will be able to come immediately."

Mother Li and Tinghe entered the dormitory, and Xie Run sat in the hall.

With her around, even the maids and servants who had other thoughts would not dare to move.

After a while, the maid from Chunshanyuan came to deliver the news.

The man lowered his head and said very respectfully, "The prince went to see the eldest son and was furious."

Xie Run was still drinking tea to refresh himself. Hearing this, he asked, "What's wrong?"

There wasn't much surprise on his face.

After all, if she went out and her son turned into a fool, she would be furious.

The maid hesitated and said, "The eldest master seems to have recovered a little, but his leg injury is too severe. Even if he recovers, he will not be able to walk well."

Xie Run paused while holding the tea. "What do you mean when you say he's recovered a little?"

As for the issue of being unable to walk... Xie Run has been through a lot of ups and downs lately, so this really isn't a big deal.

The maid was confused and said, "It seems that he is no longer stupid, but of course, he has not recovered!"

Xie Run frowned, "What on earth is going on?!"

The maid described him, "The eldest young master is no longer as dull and stupid as before, drooling all the time. When asked questions, he can answer a few, but his reactions are slower than those of ordinary people."

Xie Run was quite confused after hearing this.

So was the eldest son really stupid at the beginning or was he just pretending to be stupid?

Xie Run didn't want to think too much about it. No matter whether he was pretending to be stupid or was really stupid before, he was now certain that he was not stupid.

Just slow reaction...

Xie Run clasped his hands together and whispered, "Amitabha, it's a blessing that the eldest son can regain his sanity. I dare not ask for anything else."

"That's what he said, but the prince is also very angry."

Xie Run raised an eyebrow. "Is the prince angry because the eldest son is not as smart as ordinary people, or is he angry because his legs are injured and he has difficulty walking?"

Maid: "From what I see, it seems that they all exist."

Xie Run lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before asking, "Did the prince have a tantrum against the wet nurse?"

The maid nodded: "The wet nurse was punished with ten strokes of the cane and sent back home. She is not allowed to serve the eldest master anymore."

"The two maids who accompanied the eldest young master into the inner courtyard were both sent back to the farm."

Xie Run nodded and said, "Then let's send a few more careful maids to take care of the eldest master."

"Yes."

As soon as he finished asking questions, the maids in charge of the mansion came up to ask questions.

Xie Run sent them all to Concubine Sun's courtyard.

She was also a little annoyed. "Concubine Sun only injured her face, not her hands or feet. Why can't she handle the affairs of the mansion?"

"You all came to me, so that people would think that I don't take Concubine Sun seriously and want to monopolize power?"

"If you have such thoughts, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. The concubines in the mansion are as noble as you. If you dare to look down on anyone, watch out for your hide!"

These words were spoken to the maids in charge, and also to Concubine Sun.

The palace was in chaos, and Concubine Sun was still hiding in her own yard, so Xie Run couldn't bear it any longer.

At first, her face was ruined, and Xie Run felt pity for her, so he took over all the responsibilities and was busy all day long, but he didn't say anything.

But there were so many things going on in the mansion last night, and there were life-and-death matters in the front and back yards, so Concubine Sun hid in her own yard pretending to be dead.

How could Xie Run bear it?

After sending the housekeepers to Concubine Sun's courtyard, Xie Run said, "Now I only take care of the princess's affairs. No matter how important the matter in the mansion is, it is not as important as the princess. If you have any problems, go to Concubine Sun first."

"If that doesn't work, go find the prince. I'm sure there's nothing you can't do that the prince can't decide."

After these words were spoken, Concubine Sun did not want to fall out with him, so she had to come out and continue to manage the affairs.
