The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 204: Forced at the Door

As they walked on the road, the eunuchs and maids on both sides carefully protected them.

As they talked, they walked to Concubine Hua's Qiufeng Courtyard.

The maid at the door saw the two people and was about to report it, but King Jing raised his hand and Eunuch Shi'an stepped forward to stop them.

Xie Run glanced at King Jing and thought that he was probably like this when he came to Chunshan Courtyard, quietly and almost scared Dan Tao to death.

When they got to the outer room, Eunuch Shi'an stopped the little girl again.

After walking only two steps, I vaguely heard a clever little girl talking.

"My master heard that Concubine Hua was ill, so he specially asked me to visit her and brought a lot of tonics to reduce internal heat."

"My master is truly sincere towards Concubine Hua and has absolutely no intention of deliberately making things difficult for her. Heaven and earth can bear witness to this!"

"It's just that the master said that first, and now everyone in the palace whose name contains a flower is worried, fearing that they will be cursed."

"I heard that Fang Lian from Concubine Fang's courtyard slipped and fell today, hitting her head and causing a bloody wound. My master was just getting worried, and then I heard the news that you, Concubine Hua, had fainted..."

"Your last name is Hua, which is in line with your destiny. You fainted suddenly, probably because you were hit."

"My master doesn't insist on you moving, Concubine Hua. I'm just worried about you, myself, and the maids in the mansion... I just beg you to not be so stubborn. For the sake of the prince's offspring and yourself, at least take a step back."

Xie Run wondered where Concubine Lian found such a clever servant.

He speaks like he is singing, without stopping, yet people can hear him very clearly.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard Hua Shufei's angry words, "Get out!"

"Your master is so shameless!"

"If you want me to move, just say so. You're using the prince's offspring to pressure me, and now you're moving all the maids and servants from the palace... You keep saying you're thinking about me, but you're actually pressing me every step of the way, and you won't give me any mercy!"

"If she had just said she wanted to show off by stepping on me, I would have admired her a bit."

"But she wants both substance and face. If I quit, I'll be scolded and I'll have to build her reputation... She's dreaming!"

I could faintly hear the screams of a group of maids.

King Jing raised his hand and opened the curtain.

The next second, I saw a bowl of medicine coming towards me.

Xie Run saw the medicine bowl and subconsciously shouted, "Prince, be careful!"

She pulled King Jing back, but she had subconsciously stood in front of King Jing.

The medicine bowl hit her shoulder, causing Xie Run to gasp in pain, and even her clothes were mostly wet.

King Jing saw her and held her in his arms, shouting angrily, "How dare you!"

When the maids and servants in the room heard these words, they were so frightened that they knelt down immediately.

"This servant greets the prince!"

The little maid sent by Concubine Lian also bowed her head and saluted, and was secretly happy when she realized what was happening.

Concubine Hua acted recklessly and now she hit the most favored Concubine Xie with a medicine bowl. The prince will definitely not let her off easily.

Concubine Hua seemed to have thought of this as well, and her face turned exceptionally pale.

She also struggled to get out of bed and bow, stammering, "Your Majesty, I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to hit you."

King Jing stared at her coldly, "You are a daughter of a wealthy family, but you are always smashing bowls and cups. Is this how your elders taught you?"

This is equivalent to calling Concubine Hua uneducated.

Concubine Hua is simple-minded and her heart and eyes are full of Prince Jing.

Hearing King Jing's words, tears almost burst out of my eyes.

There were countless words of explanation, but they were all swallowed down when they met King Jing's cold gaze.

Her lips moved slightly, and she finally uttered only one sentence: "I know I was wrong."

When she first entered the palace, her family members were worried that she would be bullied by the princess and concubines in the palace, so they taught her many principles of how to behave in society.

But who would have thought that she had never suffered any injustice from the princess and concubine, but now she was experiencing the warmth and coldness of human nature at the hands of a little concubine.

Being bullied by the other party, he had no power to fight back.

When King Jing saw her face that looked like it was about to break, and thought about how her father had just died and she was still in mourning, he calmed down a little.

"Where's the imperial doctor?"

The maidservant beside Concubine Hua immediately replied, "The imperial physician has prescribed medicine for my master and has already returned to the palace."

Prince Jing frowned and helped Xie Run sit on the chair. "Then let's go find the palace doctor first."

"Shi'an, take this king's invitation to the palace to invite the imperial physician!"

Xie Run held Prince Jing's hand and said, "Your Highness, I am fine. I was just frightened."

With Dan Tao's help, Xie Run's outer cloak had been taken off, and the inside was only a little wet, which was not a problem.

King Jing was worried, "No! What if the injury is somewhere and you don't notice it for a while?"

I was also feeling regretful that I shouldn't have brought Xie Run here today.

After feeling heartbroken, I also felt a little angry.

King Jing: "You're standing in front of me before I can even see clearly what's coming. What if it's a knife?"

Xie Run opened his eyes and looked at King Jing quietly, puzzled, "If it was a knife, shouldn't I have stood in front of His Majesty?"

King Jing was choked by her words.

This is the truth, but at critical moments, people's instinct is to survive. Who can care about others?

When King Jing saw Xie Run standing in front of him, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Now, after hearing her answer, I suddenly realized that she has a kind of transparent silliness that makes people love and hate her.

Xie Run's affectionate peach blossom eyes were filled with King Jing, but he was secretly muttering in his heart.

When she saw something coming towards her, her first reaction was not to let King Jing's face get hurt.

If King Jing had any scars on his face, he would probably lose the chance to compete for that position.

What will happen to her and her son then?

The words he said later about blocking the knife for King Jing came out without even thinking.

King Jing had already taken the medicine bowl, so would she still mind saying a few more sweet words?

Concubine Hua, who was standing by, was heartbroken when she saw the two of them looking at each other lovingly, and tears flowed silently.

This blow was even greater than when Concubine Lian sent someone to her house to disgust her.

While the court physician was rushing over, Prince Jing stood up and glanced coldly at the people kneeling on the ground.

Finally, his gaze fell on the little girl beside the bed.

"Are you from the Lian Concubine Courtyard?"

The little girl's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Your Highness, I am Yuyan, the maidservant of Concubine Lian."

"Just now, I was outside the door and heard you speaking so many words so eloquently. Was it your master who taught you?"

Yuyan's face turned pale, and she didn't know whether to agree or not.

No matter how clever she was, she was still just a little girl and didn't have the courage to play tricks in front of King Jing.

Eunuch Shi'an swept his whisk and said, "How dare you!"

"The prince asked you a question, and you dare not answer?!"

Yu Yan was anxious and immediately agreed, "Yes, it was my master who asked me to come and visit Concubine Hua."

Yuyan quickly explained, "My master heard that Concubine Hua had fainted, so he specially sent me to visit her. He was also worried that the master's words had taken effect and that Concubine Hua was under a curse..."

When the Grand Master's words were mentioned, King Jing's aura visibly sank, and Yu Yan's voice became smaller and smaller.
