The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 153 Visiting Concubine Lian

Xie Run and Concubine Lu looked at each other.

There was only understanding in the eyes of both of them, without any surprise.

When it comes to winning people's hearts, no one in the entire palace's backyard can compare to Wan Linlang.

Wan Linlang, as a concubine, openly harassed Jiang Baobao, showing her intention to protect Concubine Lian.

When Concubine Lian found out, she would probably want to treat her as a blood relative.

Especially when everyone in the palace looked down on Concubine Lian, there was such a good sister who took care of Concubine Lian in every possible way and protected her wholeheartedly... Not to mention Concubine Lian, even if Xie Run had Concubine Lian as his card, he would have been devoted to Wan Linlang.

Jiang Baobao has suffered so much, how could he not bear a grudge?

It is still unknown whether this grudge is held against Wan Linlang or Concubine Lian.

Xie Run only took a glance and said, "Send it to Concubine Jiang."

The two maids quickly responded.

It was not a good thing to mess with Concubine Jiang, and they were also worried if their superiors saw it.

Concubine Lu suddenly said, "Thank you, sister. Can I go see Concubine Lian in a couple of days?"

Concubine Lu can now barely be considered Xie Run's person.

Given Xie Run's status, it is naturally unlikely that he would condescend to visit Concubine Lian.

Concubine Lu happened to be her vanguard and went to find out some information.

This is probably the reason why many people who reach high positions like to keep some of their own people.

There are many things that are inconvenient for you, so you can ask others to do them.

Xie Run nodded slightly, "It would be good if you go see her."

"I happen to have some new ointment delivered. Take two bottles with you."

After a pause, Xie Run continued, "The kitchen has just sent some crabs. I wanted to have someone send you a basket, but unfortunately you have a cold body and can't use them."

Concubine Lu smiled indifferently, "Thank you, sister, for having me in your heart. I am already very happy."

This is the first batch of crabs, and there are not many of them. They are only distributed to the top few people, so they are considered rare.

Xie Run continued, "My eldest sister wrote to me yesterday and gave me a prescription for treating uterine cold. It's unlikely to be a miracle cure, but it should help with your menstrual period."

Concubine Lu's eyes lit up: "Thank you so much, sister!"

Her body has been abnormally cold since that winter.

Every time I have my period, I feel like I am living a life worse than death.

Last time, in order to save Princess Ruyi, he jumped into the water in the middle of winter, causing her not to have her period for three months.

It did come at the beginning of this month, and she almost died in bed from the pain.

Xie Run accidentally found out about it and said he would write a letter to ask his elder sister, a miracle doctor.

Concubine Lu didn't expect to receive a reply so soon.

Back at Chunshan Courtyard, Xie Run handed the prescription to Concubine Lu.

She said softly, "Take this prescription for seven days first. You can ask the court doctor to take a look first. After checking your pulse, we can see if we need to change the prescription."

"If the pharmacy flatters the powerful and holds back your medicine, I'll send Dan Tao back."

Tears welled up in Concubine Lu's eyes as she smiled and said, "Ever since Sister Xie asked me about the distribution of the law last time, the servants in the palace have not dared to embarrass me anymore."

Concubine Lu was close to Xie Run and was willing to be his pawn several times, with the intention of currying favor with him.

But people are made of flesh and blood.

Even if it's just an exchange of interests at first, if someone cares about you forever, how can you not be moved?

Concubine Lu knew that words of gratitude were worthless.

If she wants to be worthy of Concubine Xie's kindness, she has to do everything beautifully.

On the second day, Concubine Lu came to visit Concubine Lian with some healing ointment.

When she went there, she happened to meet Concubine Lian having breakfast.

To be precise, I saw Wan Linlang feeding Concubine Lian breakfast.

Concubine Lu was surprised. "How come it's already this late and Sister Lian hasn't had breakfast yet?"

Concubine Lian subconsciously turned her face to the side, facing Concubine Lu with the uninjured half of her face.

When the accident first happened, she was more filled with self-pity and resentment for her life experience and the child in her belly.

After things calmed down, she found it difficult to accept the scars on her face.

These days, I always avoid meeting people with my injured face.

Wan Linlang said calmly, "It's just that Sister Lian doesn't have a good appetite today."

"That's good." Concubine Lu breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought it was the head kitchen that treated Sister Lian unfairly."

Wan Linlang put down the bowl in her hand and chuckled, "So what if people like us are really treated unfairly?"

"Unlike Sister Lu, who has someone backing her up, she's even more confident in her words now."

Concubine Lu thought Wan Linlang didn't understand the sarcasm in her words and said with a smile, "Sister Wan has been wronged, so forget it."

"But Sister Lian is pregnant with the prince's child. How can she bear such injustice?"

"I don't think the kitchen would be brave enough to do that."

Wan Linlang frowned, and a flash of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Although she didn't dare to compete with the concubines, she also looked down on girls like Concubine Lu who climbed onto the bed to get promoted.

In the past, no one in the mansion looked down upon Concubine Lu.

Now, Concubine Lu somehow got close to Concubine Xie and even ran up to her to ridicule her proudly.

Wan Linlang: "Since Sister Lu already knows, why bother asking this?"

Concubine Lu said frankly, "Isn't this just a casual question since Sister Lian is having dinner at this hour?"

She was thick-skinned and didn't take Wan Linlang's words seriously at all.

He added, "I recently got some healing ointment, and I hope it will have some effect on the wound on Sister Lian's face."

Before the two of them could speak, Concubine Lu said, "Since Sister Wan is here, could you please check Sister Lian to see if this medicine is effective?"

Concubine Lian subconsciously looked at Wan Linlang, who seemed to be unable to make her own decision.

Wan Linlang smiled faintly, "If that's the case, then I'll respectfully obey your command."

After taking the medicine from Concubine Lu, Wan Linlang checked it carefully.

Concubine Lian felt a little embarrassed, but Concubine Lu was very calm.

After the examination, Wan Linlang smiled and said, "This is indeed a top-notch healing ointment. I appreciate Sister Lu's kindness."

"It's not difficult. As long as Sister Lian and the baby in her belly are safe, I'm willing to give Sister Lian any precious ointment I have."

Concubine Lian said softly, "Thank you, Sister Lu."

Concubine Lu was the best at taking advantage of others, and she took the opportunity to stay in Concubine Lian's yard for most of the day.

We didn't go back until the sun set.

The next day, she went to Chunshanyuan again.

Xie Run was painting Taotao's portrait, quite absorbed in it.

When Concubine Lu saw this, she went to the wet nurse to check on Taotao and play with the child.

Tao Tao was just laughing when she heard Dan Tao say in her ear: "The master is here."

Concubine Lu stood up and saluted: "Thank you, sister."

Xie Run had just washed her hands when the maid came forward with the ointment to help her apply it.

She took the opportunity to ask, "The prince sent a letter this morning."

Concubine Lu was stunned for a moment, "But is there good news?"

She was not liked by King Jing and had difficulty getting pregnant. She had climbed into bed with King Jing just to be a concubine and had no special feelings for him.

When I heard about King Jing, I just thought that good news was better than bad news.

Xie Run smiled meaningfully, "Of course there is."

"On his way to Yunzhou, the prince passed through Taiyuan and happened to discover that the King of Taiyuan was planning a rebellion. He captured him in time and performed a great deed."

"Prince Taiyuan has been escorted back to the capital."
