The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 268

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't know the rules in the palace before, but now she knows it too.Nine firecrackers changed the course of mountains and rivers, and the royal family collapsed.Only when the emperor dies, there will be such a big battle. As for the six firecrackers, it is the death of the queen mother and all the princes and concubines, and the three firecrackers are to commemorate the prince and princess who are not yet adults.Every firecracker has its own specifications.Emperor Chu Chen saw that Qiao Jiuxiu was very sad, so he joked that he might have six firecrackers in the future.

Who knew that this sentence completely drew Qiao Jiuxiu's tears, making her cry even more sadly. "I don't allow, I don't allow you to say such stupid words, we can definitely live well."

Chu Dichen nodded, and hugged Qiao Jiuxiu tightly. He just said something stupid.Looking at the back room, there are no imperial doctors coming in and out, only a few palace servants, cleaning up the mess inside.Once the firecrackers are fired, it means that there is no way to rescue them.Qiao Jiuxiu rubbed her eyes sadly, she had only met that poor prince once, she never thought it would be a farewell.

The eldest sister was still asleep on the bed, but she looked very bad, looking extremely haggard.These days, she didn't have a good rest. When the prince was seriously ill, she guarded him almost every step of the way. She didn't bring tea and water, but she also stayed by his side, from morning till night.She thought she could move God, but she didn't expect that God was still so cruel, cruelly stripping her child from her life.

Chu Diyan was no longer in the room, he was the emperor, and it was still a troubled time, so he naturally had to worry about the affairs of the court.Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip slightly, looking at the poor elder sister.I'm especially not feeling well.Chu Dichen was at the side, not knowing what to say.He was used to seeing life and death, but he also knew Qiao Jiuxiu's sadness.He could only pat her on the shoulder lightly, telling him not to be sad anymore, and to persuade Qiao Yuanxiu later that she couldn't fall down first.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded and sucked her nose.Trying hard to tell myself to be strong, but Qiao Jiuxiu didn't know how to face the cruel facts. Although Qiao Yuanxiu is still sleeping peacefully, if she wakes up later and talks about the child, how should she speak? How about it?Therefore, I have been twitching all the time, not knowing what to say.She went through what she was going to say later in her mind once, thinking that there should be no problem in opening her mouth like this.

Qiao Yuanxiu opened her eyes slightly. It seemed that only the two of them were left in the lively hall just now.Some palace people are busy in the back room, but they dare not approach the direction of the hall.Knowing that the two masters inside are not in a good mood, naturally they can hide as far as they can.Qiao Jiuxiu took a look at Qiao Yuanxiu, and tremblingly, she just said big sister.

"The child is gone, isn't it?" Qiao Yuanxiu already knew this very cruel answer to her.The child has always been her god, and the only motivation for her to survive in the palace.She knew that the emperor was bothered. Although he liked her now, he would abandon her sooner or later and choose another woman. This is the way of a king.She would never be able to keep the emperor by her side, but now she didn't think that she couldn't even keep her own child.

Tears, like majestic water, slanted down.But after a while, she cried like tears.Qiao Jiuxiu stood beside her, not knowing what to say.Just sit down beside her.

"Sister, don't be sad anymore, everything will pass." Qiao Jiuxiu could only say such words that had no practical effect.Qiao Yuanxiu raised her eyes and glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu. Tears poured down like pours, and there was no way to stop, "Jiumei, you don't know why my life is so miserable. I still count on this child to make me happy. Have a good time in the palace."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, "Elder Sister, it's fine. The emperor loves Eldest Sister so much, it shouldn't be difficult to have another child, now the most important thing is to take care of your body. You can't let the people you care about feel sad for you."

Qiao Jiuxiu's words are all from the bottom of her heart.Qiao Yuanxiu shook her head, "Have another child, and then watch him die in front of my eyes? Jiumei, I can't do it. Besides, Lia is very sad and won't have a child with me."

Her tears flowed down again, very pitiful.Qiao Jiuxiu could only pat Qiao Yuanxiu on the back, and continued to persuade, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. Your future children will definitely grow up healthy and healthy. Besides, you and the emperor are still young, how can you not have children?" Well. Don't worry about it."

Qiao Yuanxiu sobbed and shook her head, "Jiumei, don't try to persuade me, I know everything about the palace. If I die this time, many people will definitely regard me as an ominous person. Naturally, the emperor They will also stay far away from me, these are fates, a fate that I have no choice but to avoid." She said while letting out a slight breath, as if she had decided to accept this cruel fate.

"No. The emperor will never do this." Qiao Jiuxiu patted Qiao Yuanxiu's back lightly, comforting her.But there is no certainty in my heart, these things are really hard to say.Although she has always had a good impression of Chu Diyan, but since ancient times, the king is so ruthless, how can these things be said well.

After a long time, Qiao Yuanxiu calmed down slightly. He looked at the palace servants and eunuchs who were still busy inside, "Jiumei, help me up. I want to go in and see the child, my poor child."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, seemingly hesitant.The eldest sister's condition has just improved a bit, if she sees the child again, seeing that sad scene, it will be bad if she feels hurt.But I don't know how to refuse it.He could only twitch the corners of his mouth at Qiao Yuanxiu, "Sister, I'm afraid this is not good."

"What's wrong? That's my child. I'll go in and see my child. Is there anything wrong?" Qiao Yuanxiu had already stood up with her strength. Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't say it, so she could only support her and walk away. to the door.As long as you push this small curtain, you can see the situation inside.Qiao Jiuxiu knew that her eldest sister had always been very strong, and this was the first time she saw her eldest sister so fragile.In the end, Qiao Yuanxiu gently opened the curtain.

The palace people all looked over here, seeing that it was Qiao Yuanxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu, they didn't say anything, just continued to be busy with the work at hand.At this time, when one sentence is wrong, although Concubine Qi has no children, she is still a noble concubine in the palace after all, and it is not something they can offend.Moreover, they don't need to offend Qiao Yuanxiu at this time.

Thinking of this, everyone ignored the existence of Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Yuanxiu.The little prince had already been carried away, the bed was empty, only a yellow swaddle was left, which was clearly made by Qiao Jiuxiu specially for the little prince.It's a pity that I didn't get to see what he looked like when he grew up.All I know is that when he was a baby, he was very well-behaved, and when he grows up, he must be very handsome.

Qiao Jiuxiu felt that her eyes were also hurting badly.

"Concubine Qi, Concubine Ninth, this is not the place you should come to, please leave." Finally a palace official came over and advised humbly.Qiao Yuanxiu kept shaking her head, "This is my child. It's only natural for me to come to see him. I shouldn't come here. You servants are so ignorant that you are going to let the clan government teach you a lesson. Yet?"

She raised her eyebrows, and those servants no longer dared to say anything.

She has no other intentions, but just wants to stand in this small room and accompany the child who has left. If he really has a soul, he will feel that when he sees his mother sending him off for the last time. be happy.

The sadness in Qiao Yuanxiu's eyes deepened, and Qiao Jiuxiu frowned, not knowing what to say to dilute the deep sadness.In the end, it could only be turned into a meaningless sigh.

"You all step back." Qiao Yuanxiu said slightly, she just wanted to be alone and quiet, to accompany her child, and finally talk to him with some thoughtful words, the palace people looked at each other, Yu Li, did they not step back However, Concubine Qi has already said so, if they don't retreat, they will be punished, so naturally they are in a dilemma.Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, she could only let them retreat first, the dead are the oldest, no matter how many rules there are in this palace, one must be considerate of the elder sister's pain of bereavement.

The palace people hesitated for a while, but retreated.The talkative palace man just now still worriedly said beside Qiao Jiuxiu, "Princess Ninth, the servants can only leave for a quarter of an hour at most. The things of the little prince still need to be put back. It is a rule to take it to the front hall and burn it, it cannot be abolished, you have to remember it.”

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, only saying that she had already written it down.Then she also backed out, the eldest sister must have a lot to say, and wanted to tell the little prince, although she is the younger sister of the eldest sister, but some words are not convenient to listen to.

"Son, you just left like this. As a mother, I really feel so painful in my heart." Qiao Yuanxiu waited until everyone had left before slowly opening his mouth, "When you were in my womb, I often thought of you. , what will you look like. Later, when I saw you, you were cute and cute, you didn’t cry or make trouble, and I felt very happy. I remember that you used to be called Mufei a few days ago, and you looked so cute .”

Talking about the beautiful bits and pieces of the past actually made her heart ache even more.Shaking her head slightly, she can only say that her fate with the little prince is too shallow, and she can only be a mother and son for less than a year.

Tears flowed from Qiao Yuanxiu's eyes again, she just felt tired, exhausted, and powerless.The most beloved child is gone, is there any pursuit in this life?
