The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 222 Demonstration

Wan Linlang laughed self-deprecatingly, "Concubine Hua's words hurt, but they are also the truth."

She kowtowed to King Jing and said, "I was wrong today. Due to my selfishness, I almost delayed the Sixth Young Master's treatment. However, I also have my own difficulties..."

She looked at King Jing with tears in her eyes. "Ever since I entered the palace, Concubine Fang has been making things difficult for me and has been unhappy with me in every way. If I had asked her for help first, she would have deliberately delayed me. I would have truly delayed the Sixth Young Master, and I'm afraid that by then I would have had no one to turn to!"

King Jing wanted to say that Fang Yuaner would not dare to do so.

But when I think about what Fang Yuaner had done in the past, I can't say these words.

Wan Linlang does have selfish motives, but her concerns and worries are not without reason.

"I have done something wrong. Your Majesty can punish me at will, but my feelings for Sister Lian and the Sixth Young Master are known to all, both heaven and earth!"

"This servant wants to support the Sixth Young Master, not because of greed, but because she cannot bear it."

Wan Linlang's tears rolled down her cheeks. "The Sixth Young Master lost his mother at birth, and was born prematurely. He is weaker than other babies and needs the utmost care."

"Looking around the palace, I have to say something selfish. I absolutely do not believe that anyone else will take care of the Sixth Young Master wholeheartedly."

"In this world, no one is more sincere to the Sixth Young Master than I am!"

"And today we found lilies in the swaddling clothes. Maybe tomorrow the food and things we eat and use will contain lily pollen... How old is the Sixth Young Master? How can he defend himself against these attacks?!"

"I, your Highness, dare to ask you to let me take care of the Sixth Young Master for a while. As long as I can take care of him, even if I have to be cut into pieces, I will be willing to endure it."

She smiled bitterly: "Even if I die like this, I will have the face to go to the underworld to see Sister Lian."

After Wan Linlang's story, the eunuch Shi'an beside her sighed.

King Jing was also somewhat moved.

After all, what Wan Linlang said was the truth. Xiaoliu really needed an adoptive mother who was devoted to him right now.

It’s just that Wan Linlang overestimated her image in King Jing’s heart.

After hearing this, King Jing's expression only softened slightly. "I still need to discuss this matter with the princess."

"It's late at night and very cold. You should take the people back first."

Wan Linlang stood there in a daze, kowtowed several times in front of King Jing with tears in her eyes, and let the maid help her to stand up.

But I felt extremely lost in my heart.

After leaving the courtyard, Suiyu asked worriedly, "Master, did the prince not respond?"

If I don't respond now, there will be no chance in the future when the Sixth Young Master grows up and needs less care.

Wan Linlang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and calmly told the truth.

"The prince doesn't believe me."

Suiyu was speechless: "This...what should I do?"

"Nothing is difficult in this world if one sets his mind to it." Wan Linlang's eyes darkened. "Perhaps the prince noticed what I did before, and now he's wary of me."

"The prince is not worried that I can't take good care of the Sixth Young Master. He is worried that after I raise the Sixth Young Master, I will think that I have someone to rely on and become restless."

Suiyu spoke up for her master, "If we talk about restless people, Concubine Fang is the first one. What affairs in this palace has she not interfered in? Didn't the prince still promise her a high position and favor?"

"Although I'm treating Concubine Fang coldly for a while, she still has a son, so she doesn't have to worry about falling out of favor."

Wan Linlang sighed softly, "You're right, we still need a child."

"Having a child, even if you do something wrong, the prince will be more tolerant for the sake of the child. Having a child means there is hope..."

Regardless of whether the child came out of her belly.

Suiyu asked worriedly, "Master, what should we do now?"

Wan Linlang looked back at Chunshanyuan behind her, with a look of determination in her eyes.

"Wait!"

"wait?"

"Yes, I'm waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to redeem myself from my crimes and gain the prince's trust, so that he will be willing to hand over the Sixth Young Master to me."

Suiyu originally wanted to ask what to do if he couldn't wait?

Seeing her master's confident and determined expression, she immediately stopped herself from speaking.

Wan Linlang looked at the snow all around, and her cold fingertips made her mind clearer.

"There's no need to rush."

"As long as the prince doesn't give the Sixth Young Master to someone else to raise, I still have a chance. Even if he's raised now and sent to the front yard later... I'll visit him often."

"After all, children become close to whoever they spend more time with."

She could even coax Concubine Lian into trusting her wholeheartedly, so how could she not be able to coax a child?

Suiyu nodded repeatedly, "With the master's intelligence and wisdom, he will be able to bring the Sixth Young Master to his side sooner or later."

Wan Linlang didn't show any emotion, but her hand unconsciously fell on her stomach.

In the past, she would think about having her own child and not having someone else's child.

But now that King Jing doesn't come to her yard, she can't get pregnant at all.

The only card she has in her hand now is the Sixth Young Master.

In Chunshan Courtyard, Xie Run sat on the bed holding a hot water bottle and listened to the maids report the news.

King Jing did not specifically send his servants away, so naturally, everything Wan Linlang said was heard by Xie Run without a single word missed.

Dan Tao breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the prince didn't agree."

"Concubine Wan has finally settled down. If she gets the Sixth Young Master, she will definitely become rampant and cause trouble again."

"Some time ago, she and Concubine Fang caused chaos in the mansion..."

Xie Run said calmly, "With a child, she'll be rampant and cause trouble. Without a child, do you think she won't cause trouble?"

"This person will not give up until he achieves his goal..." Xie Run thought for a moment, "I'll find someone early tomorrow morning to quietly pass this news to Concubine Fang."

Dan Tao nodded repeatedly: "I am just a little surprised. Wan Shifei came here in the middle of the night, but was willing to leave like this without hearing from the prince?"

Xie Run glanced at her: "Didn't you notice?"

Dan Tao was stunned: "Please explain clearly, Master."

Xie Run smiled and said, "She chose this time to come to Chunshan Courtyard. She is trying to demonstrate to me."

"If I hadn't said that today and exposed her selfish thoughts, the prince might have agreed to let her raise the Sixth Young Master."

Xie Run revealed that Wan Linlang delayed the Sixth Young Master's treatment for his own selfish reasons, which left a very bad impression on Wan Linlang in King Jing.

This is also the reason why King Jing remained firm tonight and did not change his mind because of Wan Linlang's crying.

After receiving Xie Run's guidance, Dan Tao slowly began to understand the situation and said, "Master, does Concubine Wan bear a grudge against you?"

"Let her hold a grudge." Xie Run said calmly, "Last time she laid her hands on my Chunshan Courtyard, we've been enemies for a long time."
