The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 273: Can’t keep it anymore

Xie Run added, "Send someone to Qingsong Courtyard to find out the news and see how the princess is doing."

Now, the only person in the palace who can discuss something with Xie Run is the princess.

Xie Run didn't even dare to send someone to report the news directly.

He was afraid of disturbing the princess and being blamed for nothing.

The Jin Yuan guards were the first to arrive at Chunshanyuan.

Xie Run had all the candles in the room lit and asked directly, "On the way here, the servant and Guard Jin should have mentioned it to you."

Jin Yuan's face was full of seriousness. "I also feel that something is wrong."

"The Imperial City Guards are directly led by His Majesty. How can they act arbitrarily without His Majesty's orders?"

"Your Majesty is still ill, and the prince is far away in Qiangwu. I'm afraid someone will start to make trouble."

Xie Run liked to talk to smart people. "Guard Jin, do you know who Lu Tong, the leader of the Imperial City Guard, works for?"

Everyone knows that the Imperial Guards are the emperor's confidants.

But when Xie Run asked this question at this time, he was clearly asking whose side the Imperial City Guards were on?!

Jin Yuan hesitated, "I'm not too sure about this kind of thing."

Seeing the disappointment on Xie Run's face, he quickly said, "But I can be sure that he is definitely not the prince's man!"

As long as it was nominally under the emperor's control, King Jing would not touch it.

Xie Run lowered his eyes, "Now the only ones left who can compete are Prince Wei and Prince An, and it's just the people of these two."

"Guard Jin, please take the front yard guards and guard the gate of the palace."

"The safety of the palace tonight depends on you."

Jin Yuan also knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly bowed, "I will not dare to disappoint Concubine Xie!"

The person who was trying to get the news came back again and reported, "It's curfew, but there are not only the Imperial Guards on the streets, but also another team."

"Because it was dark and far away, I couldn't see clearly who led the team. I only vaguely saw that they were heading towards the Imperial City."

"Oh no!" Xie Run stood up immediately.

Even Jin Yuan's expression changed, "Someone wants to rebel against Prince Su again?!"

Just at this moment, a maid came hurriedly to report, "Master, something bad has happened!"

Everyone looked over and heard Xie Run ask in a stern voice, "What happened to Qingsong Court?!"

This girl was the one she sent to Qingsong Courtyard to gather information.

The man looked panicked, "Master, the princess is bleeding... The court doctor tried the needle, but it still couldn't stop the bleeding."

"I'm afraid we need to call the imperial physician!"

"I only stood in the main courtyard of Qingsong Courtyard for a while, and vaguely heard the princess's cries, as if she was in unbearable pain..."

The maidservant did not dare to violate the taboo, otherwise she would have to reveal the news that the princess's pregnancy might be in jeopardy.

In a flash, Xie Run's thoughts became clear.

She took out a token from her bosom, "Gold Yuan!"

When Jin Yuan saw the token, he immediately saluted and said, "I am here!"

He was shocked and very surprised that King Jing would give the token to Concubine Xie.

Xie Run: "You only have two tasks tonight. One is to send people to guard the gate of Prince Jing's Mansion. Anyone who dares to break in will be killed without mercy!"

"Another matter, go and bring someone back for me!"

Jin Yuan's eyes were slightly surprised, but he still asked respectfully, "Who is it?"

Xie Run: "Xie Jiang, the hostess of Xiaoyun Lane in Jiangnanfang, Beijing."

"There's a commotion outside, and the princess in the palace is unwell. It's too late to call the imperial physician."

"Xie Jiang is a skilled doctor. Xiaoyun Lane is not far from the palace. Go and bring the patient here!"

Jin Yuan didn't know the relationship between Xie Run and Xie Jiang. He just listened to Xie Run's words, knew the importance of Xie Jiang, and immediately went down to arrange people.

Of course, Xie Run didn't dare put all the risks on Xie Jiang.

He sent a servant to the nearby imperial physician's house to look for someone.

Xie Run also asked Dan Tao and Xiao Shu to inform the people in each courtyard that no matter what noise they heard tonight, they were not allowed to leave the courtyard.

After arranging everything, Xie Run prepared to go see the princess.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly said, "Put some clothes on Taotao and carry him along."

The servants were a little surprised, but they didn't dare to say anything and just did what they were told.

Xie Run doesn't trust anyone.

Only by keeping Taotao by her side and watching him at all times can she feel at ease.

When Xie Run reached the gate of Qingsong Courtyard, he clearly noticed that the maids looked unhappy.

She quickened her pace and walked to the door of the main room.

Miss Ting Shuang greeted her at the door, her face full of anxiety, "Thank you, Concubine, you are here."

"Where's the imperial physician? Has he arrived?"

Xie Run: "I've already sent someone to invite him."

She did not explain to a maid that there was chaos outside and the palace was afraid of changes, so it was impossible to invite the imperial physician.

Xie Run asked, "How is the princess?"

Ting Shuang's tears fell, "Thank you, Concubine, please go in and take a look first!"

She was about to go in holding Xie Run's hand, but when she glanced at Taotao who was being held beside her, she forgot to shed tears.

"Why did Concubine Xie bring the Fifth Young Master here?"

Xie Run said calmly: "Go in first."

"Miss Tingshuang, please take Taotao to rest with the Second Miss."

Although the princess has not been in good condition since she became pregnant, she is not a cold-blooded person who would not care about other children after having her own child.

During this period of time, the second young lady has been living in the side room of the main courtyard and is looked after by people close to the princess.

Time was pressing, so Ting Shuang didn't ask too many questions and just said, "I'll arrange it right away."

Xie Run asked Zihu to carry Taotao to the ear room, and she took people directly into the dormitory at the back.

As soon as I entered, I could faintly smell a bloody smell.

Xie Run has been going in and out of Jiang Baobao's piano room frequently these days, and he has become very familiar with the smell.

As soon as she entered, the court doctor was sitting on the side giving acupuncture to the princess.

Xie Run stood aside and took a look. The princess's face was pale without a trace of blood.

The quilt with exquisite embroidery covered her body, hiding her slightly raised belly.

Xie Run approached and whispered, "I'm afraid something unexpected has happened in the palace tonight. Not only are the Imperial Guards marching at night, but other armies have also been spotted."

"I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to summon the imperial physician, so I sent someone to summon my sister Xie Jiang."

Xie Jiang's reputation has spread beyond the capital.

But in the eyes of the powerful, he is not as reliable as the experienced old doctors in the palace.

When Mother Li heard this, her expression changed, but she didn't ask any questions out of consideration for the princess.

Although the princess was weak and in a bad mental state, she was still conscious. "Thank you, Concubine, for your kindness. I understand."

"Thank you, the name of the miracle doctor, has been heard throughout the capital."

"If you can escape this disaster, I will reward you handsomely!"

"If I can't...it's my fate, I can't blame anyone else."

After saying this, the princess glanced at Mother Li and Tinghe, "Remember my words."

Mama Li, Ting He and the others responded, "We will remember this."

The princess was a smart person, and that was why she understood how much of a risk Xie Run, who usually refused to get involved in anything, was taking by dragging his own sister here to treat her tonight.

No matter what, the princess has to accept this favor!

Xie Run asked the court physician, "In your opinion, how is the princess's condition?"

"Don't hide it!"

The court physician smiled bitterly and said, "My medical skills are not very good. If it is according to my opinion, Princess...this pregnancy cannot be saved."

"Even if there's nothing wrong today, as the fetus grows bigger, the persistent bleeding like today will only get worse."

"The older the fetus is, the more dangerous it is for the princess."

"I'm sure the imperial physician has also told the princess about this..."

Xie Run's heart sank. He looked at the princess, not knowing what to say. He could only say, "Let's make a decision when Dr. Xie arrives."

The princess glanced at Xie Run with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

Xie Run understood that the princess still wanted to keep this baby.

Xie Run suddenly felt a bitter taste on the tip of his tongue.

Is having a child so important?

Does the princess like the baby in her womb, or as a princess, she cannot live without this child?
