The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 122 King Jing: "This Xie family, he did not favor her in vain!"

After Xie Run said this, he was also secretly looking at King Jing's expression.

She decided to adapt to the situation and see whether to continue speaking based on King Jing's expression.

Then, her stealthy little eyes met King Jing's eagle-like sharp eyes.

Xie Run: “…”

King Jing: "..."

When others feel guilty, they really feel guilty.

Xie Run was guilty as a thief, acting sneaky, and he wanted to show his guilt on his face, but he didn't show any shame at all.

What is this called?

Feeling guilty with a clear conscience?

King Jing saw it and felt angry and wanted to laugh.

He snorted in his heart, pretending to be indifferent on the surface, "What are you looking at?!"

"You still haven't confessed honestly?"

Xie Run started talking about what happened back then, so it was definitely not just a simple matter.

"Oh!"

Xie Run shrank his neck and responded obediently.

King Jing became more silent.

Xie Run: "Don't be angry, Your Majesty. This is a long story."

"The magistrate of Chen County is trying to force my brother to be his son-in-law, relying on his relationship with the Xie family."

"In order to save the lives of our entire family, my father listened to his colleagues' advice and sent me to Prince Jing's mansion to be a concubine."

"I was young and full of energy at the time. I often heard about the tragic experiences of some concubines. I regarded the palace as a den of tigers and wolves. I was filled with grief, anger and despair, so..."

"So he did what?" King Jing narrowed his eyes slightly.

What did Xie Run do to make him shout that he wanted to plead guilty after such a long time?

It can't be something like eloping or running away, right?

Xie Run whispered, "I ran and jumped into the lake."

King Jing: "...nothing."

He had thought Xie Run would be brave enough to elope, but who knew he would actually commit suicide?!

Xie Run: “…”

Is this a worthless thing?!

Why was King Jing’s reply different from what she expected?

Although King Jing did not follow the routine, Xie Run still had to follow the script.

She continued aggrievedly, "I was pulled out of the water, narrowly escaping death, and was sent to the palace in a daze."

King Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "You told me that you had drowned once before. Was it because of this?"

Xie Run nodded aggrievedly.

"It's really worthless!"

"You're going to commit suicide for such a small thing... If all else fails, run away and hide at a relative's house for three to five days. By the time your parents find you, your chances of entering the palace will be ruined, won't that be the end of it?"

The people from Prince Jing's Mansion traveled a long way to select concubines, so they certainly didn't have much time.

They are casting their nets widely and don't insist on anyone being the best.

Since this girl can't come, then let's go to another one. There are many people who want this spot.

As he was thinking about it, King Jing suddenly realized that what he said was not appropriate.

Teach your concubine how to escape?

If others heard it, he would probably lose all his face.

King Jing's face immediately turned cold again, and he looked very majestic.

Xie Run was stunned. "What about my family?"

King Jing said indifferently: "It won't take long for your brother to get married."

"Let's put it off for now. When he passes the imperial examination and flees to the capital with his entire family, will the magistrate of Chen County be able to send someone to the capital to capture your eldest brother and bring him back to get married?"

"What if he dares?"

King Jing stared at Xie Run coldly: "Is it possible that you are not here to apologize, but to argue with me?"

Xie Run pursed his lips and immediately acted like a good boy.

The two of them bickered back and forth, and the atmosphere suddenly eased.

Xie Run continued to cry and complain.

"I just learned from my eldest brother's letter a while ago that someone had claimed I jumped into the lake because I was embarrassed and angry at my failed attempt to elope with a neighbor."

When King Jing heard this, he immediately laughed.

"Committing suicide out of shame?"

He knew how important Xie Run valued his life.

We should pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation in our daily lives, just to live longer in the future.

And the reason for suicide was because he was angry and embarrassed because his elopement failed?

King Jing didn't believe this at all.

Xie Run grabbed Prince Jing's hand and said, "Your Highness, you know me best. If I were to say that I was disheartened by my family and wanted to commit suicide, that's possible."

"But for a neighbor you barely met... and still couldn't elope, you committed suicide out of shame?!" Xie Run said angrily, "How is this possible?!"

King Jing was puzzled: "You have always been smart and kind-hearted. Why would you worry about such trivial matters and ask for forgiveness?"

Xie Run said helplessly, "When I was giving birth today, that neighbor actually came to the palace!"

King Jing's eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of murderous intent in them.

He is not a fool.

Regardless of whether Xie Run had ever had a private relationship with anyone, the fact that he came to the palace at this time clearly showed that he had ill intentions.

There must be someone instigating this behind the scenes.

who is it?

The fifth, seventh or eighth?

These useless things only care about causing trouble for the women in the backyard!

"Where is that person?" King Jing's voice was cold.

Xie Run: "Your Highness knows that I have always been cautious."

"Ever since Big Brother mentioned it in his letter, I felt something was amiss and immediately asked Big Brother to go to the Fang family to find out what was going on."

"After some investigation, I found out that the man surnamed Fang said he was studying hard at home, but he disappeared without a trace."

"I knew at that moment that it was directed at me."

"The most dangerous moment in my life was around the time of giving birth, so I specifically asked my eldest brother to arrange for people to watch at the gate of the palace, waiting for any familiar face to appear and then tie them up immediately."

Xie Run smiled bitterly and said, "I also know that it's better to kill a thousand people by mistake than to let one go."

King Jing: "You did the right thing."

"I am not a narrow-minded person who likes to dwell on the past."

"It is the person who harbors malicious intent and intends to murder you and your child who truly deserves to die!"

King Jing's aura grew stronger and stronger, and he exuded a chilling coldness.

Of course, he would not just listen to Xie Run's one-sided statement.

Now, just out of trust and understanding of Xie Run, he knew that she had no need and no need to lie to him.

Whether it is true or false, you will know it by checking.

Xie Run held King Jing's hand tightly, his black and white eyes full of admiration and respect.

"Your Highness, do you remember that I once said that you are a great gentleman?"

King Jing's expression softened slightly, and with a hint of pride, he said, "Of course I remember."

"You are the first one to praise me like this."

A smile appeared on Xie Run's face, like spring blossoming on a branch, her beauty was hard to conceal, and she was so charming that it captivated the whole city.

"I want to say today that Your Highness is the most heroic and majestic man I have ever seen!"

"I am so lucky to be able to serve the prince and be favored by him. I will never regret it!"

Her face looked delicate and a little sickly.

But his eyes were extremely firm, and every word he said was very powerful and absolutely came from the heart.

King Jing was moved by her sweet words.

He couldn't help but hug him in his arms, and smiled heartily, "Since Sui Sui said so, how dare I let you down?!"

It must be said that King Jing was very pleased to hear Xie Run's words.

I even felt an infinite sense of pride as a man in my heart.

After the excitement subsided, only one sentence remained in his mind.

His favor for Mrs. Xie was not in vain.
