The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 232

Her hands and feet were tied with ropes, probably because she was worried that she might do something to hurt herself.Judging from the sentence just now, she is afraid that she has lost her mind, and her consciousness has become very crazy.No wonder the two maids were hesitant to speak just now, so it turned out to be such a thing.When Qiao Jiuxiu came, she thought about Qing He's words, perhaps a bit exaggerated, Sixth Sister would not be reduced to such a situation, but after seeing Qiao Liuxiu, she found that Qing He's words were actually polite.

Slowly approaching Qiao Liuxiu, wondering if she could still recognize her now, Qiao Jiuxiu said softly, "Sixth Sister, I'm here to see you."

She wasn't quite sure that Qiao Liuxiu could deny herself, and she didn't even have the courage to look at Qiao Liuxiu. She only knew that his current situation was very bad, but she didn't know what it was like.When he was about to leave, he found a hand with only skin and bones left, and held his hand.Qiao Liuxiu slowly opened her eyes, her voice was hoarse without any strength, "Jiumei, it's you."

Her voice was terrifying and shrill.Qiao Jiuxiu could only nod slightly, but didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh slightly. "Sixth sister, how are you doing recently?"

Qiao Liuxiu's eyes were slack, and there was no focus in her eyes. She seemed to chuckle, "Jiumei, you are the only one who remembers me. I have been ill for so long, and my wife and Zhiyi have never been here, and you are the only one who remembers me." , remember me."

"Sixth sister, look at what you said. It's not that they don't want to come to see you. They just can't bear to see you in such a haggard state. I'm afraid they will be sad. That's why they asked me to visit you. After all, we don't have any feelings for you. Suffering doesn't make me sad." Qiao Qiao Jiuxiu didn't dare to look into Qiao Liuxiu's despairing eyes, so she could only say this.Qiao Liuxiu shook her head slightly, "Hehe, Jiumei, do you really treat me like a child? I'm afraid even a child wouldn't believe these words. We have been enemies all our lives, and we didn't expect that in the end, we would miss me the most. Yes, it turned out to be my enemy."

Qiao Jiuxiu stopped where she was, not knowing what to say for a moment, she could only look at Qiao Liuxiu carefully, hoping that she would not do anything radical.But now that he's tied up, he shouldn't be able to do anything.Qiao Liuxiu's eyes suddenly flashed with hope, "Jiumei, if you want to help me, only you can help me with this matter."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, feeling a little bad.He didn't know what Qiao Liuxiu would ask him to do, and he didn't know whether she could or could not do it.While hesitating, Qiao Liuxiu said with despair after a chuckle, "There is a pair of scissors on the table, you should have seen it, use it, and end my pain."

Hearing this, Qiao Jiuxiu's face was full of panic. She knew that Qiao Liuxiu was having a hard time now, but no matter how difficult it was, she couldn't think of dying. People can have many, many hopes when they are alive, but once they die, There is nothing left.And if she just left like this, wouldn't there be something to worry about and make her regret?So there was no movement, she didn't intend to use the scissors to end Qiao Liuxiu's pain.

Although it was she who asked repeatedly, Qiao Jiuxiu still felt that she was no different from an executioner.

"Sixth sister, I'm sorry, I can't." Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qiao Liuxiu and said very seriously. "Are you willing to leave like this? Are you willing to leave with the child in your womb? You may think this is enough, but what about the child in your womb? He hasn't had time to take a good look outside What the world looks like, you can't deprive him of his rights."

"Child." Qiao Liuxiu murmured to herself, as if the child was the only motivation for her to survive, but when she thought about suffering for another three months, she felt that she couldn't make it through at all, so instead of choosing at that time To die, it is better to simply leave now.At least I don't have to endure that kind of pain anymore, so my tone became a little hysterical again, "No, I don't want this child anymore, I don't want to suffer anymore. Jiumei, I know my body, I can't hold it at all. For a moment I can't make it through."

Tears flowed from Qiao Liuxiu's eyes.She was really tired and couldn't carry on any longer. At the beginning, she only thought about giving birth to this child, but she didn't know that she would have to endure nearly ten months of life like purgatory.And no matter how respectful the people on Friday are to her on the surface, in fact they have already regarded her as a dead person.They knew that she might not have much time to live, so she would do one thing in person and another in another's back. Some people even said that she was a dead star, and it would be unlucky to follow her.These words, although she stays at home, still spread to her ears. If she was in the past, she would definitely punish those people severely, but now, she is tired and exhausted, and she just wants to go like this, so she doesn't want to continue to suffer .

"Sixth Sister, don't be so pessimistic, there is hope for everything." Qiao Jiuxiu hurriedly persuaded, "I asked the nurse at Ninth Prince's mansion yesterday, and Qing He said that the child's condition is very stable and there will definitely be a baby. Next very sweet boy. And you'll get through it then, and it's going to be smooth sailing from now on."

"Really?" Qiao Liuxiu seemed to be grasping at the last straw, Qiao Jiuxiu could only nod her head, although it was a deception, but at least she could leave with hope instead of living cruelly with despair.

This may be the purpose of Qing He asking her to come and visit.

Chen Chu knew Lin Fu very well, even every plant and tree in this courtyard was very familiar.It seems that he often goes in and out of this place, but he is a noble prince who plays games in the rivers and lakes, how could he often go in and out of the mansions of important court officials?And neither the guard nor the servant girl showed any surprise after seeing him, but continued to do what they were supposed to do, as if they hadn't seen anything.They are all smart, and they know that if they want to leave their lives in this place, they should not see what they shouldn't see, and don't listen to what they shouldn't hear. This is the best way to protect themselves.

All the way was unimpeded, and Chen Chu arrived at the main hall of the Lin Mansion smoothly. Although it was deep winter, the hall was as warm as spring, with four or five stoves burning. Your Majesty, there has never been such a time of extravagance and waste.Chen Chu went straight to the main seat and sat down. This chair was just a chair from the Duke's mansion. He was a majestic prince, so he could afford it.

Master Lin came late, but when he saw the man on the main seat, there was no trace of panic on his face, as if everything was within his expectations.The world only thinks that Chen Chu, the Ninth Prince, is just a dandy playing games in the world, but they don't know that he is actually keeping a low profile, hiding all his edge under his frivolous appearance, evil and dangerous.Although he is still diving, he is full of the dragon's posture, he may not be able to stay dormant forever, but he will definitely explode when the time comes.

Lord Lin is a smart man, and he also knows that there are two forces in the court. Although the surface is calm, it is already turbulent. Like other ministers, he needs to gamble the lives of the whole family and choose one of them to support. If he wins , is naturally the mainstay of the future, if it loses, it will be a complete failure, and even the history will only leave a bad name.And among them, there must be no neutrals or scumbags. If you choose one side, you still have hope of surviving, but if you become a scumbag, you will die without a place to die now, because neither of them can tolerate betrayal.

Among the two forces, Lord Lin chose the royalist faction, not because of the young emperor's brilliance and martial arts, nor because of the great power in the hands of the emperor.It was the Ninth Prince who had been dormant by the emperor's side all the time. He was like a lion ready to go. No one knew how powerful he was. Lord Lin knew the current affairs and knew that he could not be an enemy of such a person, so he just Can be an ally, waiting for one to prosper and one to lose.

This is a big gamble, but aren't those who have always achieved great things in the world taking a big gamble?Winners and losers, these four words are prophecy through the ages.

"Are you here?" Chen Chu raised his head lazily, as if he was only planning to visit the house this time, not to discuss state affairs with him at all.Seeing Chen Chu's indifferent appearance, Jue Lin also believed that he was confident, so the expression on his face eased slightly, "My lord came here so suddenly today, and my lord is not afraid of the distance between us." Is it getting close, will it attract the attention of others?"

Although Chen Chu kept a low profile, although he made friends with officials in the DPRK and China, they were just acquaintances with sex, in order to confuse his opponents.But Lord Lin is different, he has been in the officialdom for many years, and he also holds real power in his hands. Chen Chu has interacted with him too much, and I am afraid that it will still arouse the suspicion of others.Chen Chu shrugged slightly, but he didn't take this matter to heart, "I'm here to find Lin Zhiyi, and I haven't indulged in mountains and rivers with him for a long time."

Chen Chu smiled lightly, but there was some danger in the smile, "It's good to let those people spread a little bit of news, if my lord really doesn't do anything, I'm afraid some people will be suspicious."

"My lord is really thoughtful." Jue Lin said with emotion. It has been six years since he cooperated with Chen Chu. No way to figure out what Chen Chu was thinking in his heart, his danger came from his unknown.If it weren't for the same mother, the emperor who sat on the golden throne would probably have some fear of him.

Smart people in the world are not to be feared, what is to be feared are smart people who are as wise as fools.

"Has there been any movement from him recently?" Chen Chuqian drank a cup of ginseng tea in front of him, a sharpness flashed in his eyes.Now that Lord Lin already knew his sharpness, he naturally no longer hid it.He knew that Lord Lin and him were just grasshoppers on the same rope. Even if he wanted to turn back, he would have no chance.That person is suspicious by nature, so he is destined not to keep a person who was once an enemy by his side.

Lord Lin nodded. He didn't prepare a memorial, but dictated it.To leave memorials is to leave the beginning of danger.If it is dictated, it can only be passed from his mouth to his ears, and the others will never let the third person know.And this is his mansion, this is his usual office, it can be guaranteed that there will be no partitions. "Recently, the third prince has been forbearance. He has been intoxicated with flowers all day long, but in fact he has been in secret. It is reported that the generals in the army are undergoing a major change. The third prince took the opportunity to replace a large number of his own people, accounting for one-third of the army. Among them, there are countless high-ranking generals, most of whom are diehards and have no chance of persuasion."
