The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 130 Fragrant Grass

During this period of time, the court and the backyard have been busy all the time. Apart from staying overnight in Chunshan Courtyard, King Jing has never summoned anyone to sleep with him.

Concubine Xie of Chunshan Court had just given birth, so Prince Jing's stay was naturally just for the night.

Now that they have entered Concubine Yun's courtyard, the women in the backyard have begun to feel uneasy.

When the Qiufengyuan heard the news, everyone was happy.

The girls, both big and small, couldn't help but sigh.

"It's not like that anymore!"

"In the past, the prince would come to see our master every now and then, and the people in our courtyard would walk with the wind."

"Nowadays, the prince rarely comes here once a month, and when he does, he might just visit the princess and leave... It's really not easy for him to come to our Qiufeng Courtyard for dinner today."

"Isn't it? I just hope our master can regain favor and put down the arrogance of the other little hooves in the courtyard!"

"Master, your health is so poor that you only have six or seven days of good health in a month. How can you be favored?"

The girl thought, let alone being favored, it would be difficult for her to even serve the prince.

"The master cannot be served, isn't there a servant already prepared?"

As they spoke, the two maids secretly looked at the maid standing next to Princess Ruyi outside the corridor.

They were clearly wearing similar clothes, but that girl was particularly outstanding.

She has a slender waist, graceful demeanor, and a calm yet gentle appearance, with a beautiful face.

It's hard not to notice.

It would be fine if she was just good-looking, but this girl's eyes and eyebrows are somewhat similar to Concubine Xie and Concubine Fang.

This makes it difficult to understand what one's master means.

In the main courtyard, Concubine Yun was lying sick on the couch. The coldness between her eyebrows made the atmosphere in the room instantly cold.

When a beautiful woman is sick occasionally, it is like Xishi holding her heart, which is quite charming.

But if one remains sick, even if one is a fairy, in the end one will become emaciated and look ugly.

Fangse brought over the freshly brewed medicine and instructed, "Master, drink it while it's hot."

Concubine Yun glanced at the medicine and showed no intention of touching it. Instead, she asked about another matter.

"Is Fangcao still honest?"

Fangse put the medicine bowl on the table and said, "Of course I'm honest."

"You redeemed her mother and rescued them from that place. You hold the deeds of her and her daughter. How dare she disobey?"

"I hope she is just pretending to be honest." Concubine Yun's eyes were dim, and it was impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"I have done too many evil things. If my true deeds were to be exposed one day, I don't know who will get Ruyi." Concubine Yun picked up the medicine on the table, her eyes revealing a terrifying hatred. "None of the women in this backyard are worthy of supporting my Ruyi!"

Fang Se said distressedly, "Master, why do you have to say such unlucky words?"

"Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it's better to take good care of yourself and watch our Princess Ruyi get married in a grand ceremony."

"The princess is the prince's eldest daughter. The prince will never treat the princess badly."

Concubine Yun lowered her eyes and drank the medicine in the bowl in one gulp.

Bitterness exploded on her tongue, and her eyes were cold and dark. "I knew Xie was different from An, and she wasn't a face-saver, but I didn't expect her to be so brave and resourceful."

"Even her old lover came over and her father broke his leg, but it didn't affect her childbirth at all."

If any of these two things happened to the other women in the backyard, I'm afraid they would never have peace.

But Mrs. Xie actually gave birth to a son safely.

"This time, my plan to plot against Xie has failed. If the prince finds out, I'm afraid that not only will my position as concubine be in jeopardy, but even my life will be in danger."

Fangse's heart trembled, "Master, is it really that serious?"

"The prince always considers our old friendship, so there's no way he'd want to take your life."

Concubine Yun scoffed lightly, "Considering the old relationship? Your Highness is only considering the old relationship with someone who has done nothing wrong."

"Those who made mistakes... Look at the Ning family and the Han family. Which one ended up well?"

In fact, ever since Ning's death, Concubine Yun had already felt a chill in her heart.

But her ambition did not allow her to remain unknown and invisible in the palace.

Concubine Yun: "Although I wasn't implicated in the last incident where I conspired with Han to cause Li to fall, I'm afraid the prince will also have doubts about me."

It is not difficult to find out that she had once shown kindness to Cai Lan.

Since then, the prince never stayed overnight in Qiufeng Courtyard, and even asked someone to take Ruyi to Qingsong Courtyard to see her.

Concubine Yun vaguely realized that Prince Jing might have already known about it.

"I have to find a supporter for Ruyi in the future. I don't trust anyone else in the mansion, but Fangcao... I've done her a favor and personally brought her up."

"If she can strive for success and win the favor of Mrs. Xie, that's her ability. If she doesn't strive for success, with Ruyi around, her life won't be difficult."

And Fangcao's appearance was enough to disgust Xie and Fang!

Fangse frowned and said, "Master, if Fangcao has her own child in the future..."

"She won't have any!"

Concubine Yun said calmly, "When the people I sent found her, she had already been drugged with safflower by the madam. She will never have children in this life."

"She is a smart person. She knows that her lifelong support is not the prince, but Ruyi!"

Fangse was silent for a long time before she sighed, "Master, why are you doing this?"

The light from outside the window fell on Concubine Yun's pale and thin face, cold and fragile.

After a long while, she said calmly, "I'm just unwilling to accept it."

In the early years, concubines and concubines in the palace were replaced one after another, and she was the most favored by King Jing.

But there is always Concubine Ning above him.

Later, Concubine Ning fell, and Fang and Xie came, but she was no match for them.

Then it was Concubine Li, Concubine Han... one by one these people became pregnant and gave birth to children.

It makes Concubine Yun look like a joke.

"For the position of concubine, I nearly lost half my life and even had a miscarriage of a male fetus... but they can easily get everything I want."

In terms of status, there are few good concubines and concubines in the mansion. They are all the same.

As for pregnancy, she had been pregnant and given birth twice, and gave birth to the prince's eldest daughter safely.

What's more, she was once favored.

"I just don't accept it!" Concubine Yun's tone became a little colder, and her aura also became a little stronger.

"Why should I risk half my life to get something that is so easy for them to get?!"

"I'm not convinced and I'm not willing to accept it!"

Concubine Yun suddenly raised her head and held Fangse's hand tightly: "If one day, the truth comes out, don't be stupid and come with me."

"I entrust Ruyi to Fangcao, but I trust you the most!"

The fragrant complexion is bitter.

Concubine Yun said, "You were not involved in the plot against Xie. The prince will not wrongly accuse an innocent person."

"If you have to, you can tell the prince everything and expose me to save your life!"

"No!" Fangcao refused subconsciously.

"You must do this!" Concubine Yun said in a strong tone.

Fangse could only remain silent.

After drinking a bowl of medicine, Concubine Yun felt a little more energetic.

She said to Fangse, "Please dress up for me. It has been a long time since I last had a meal with the prince."

Fangse's eyes were filled with heartache, but she could only obey the order: "Yes."

"This servant has just learned how to style her hair in a bun, and it's perfect for my master."
