The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 233

Lord Lin picked one of the most important things to talk about, and Chen Chu's expression changed as expected.Chen Chu let out a long breath. When he inspected the barracks a few days ago, he vaguely felt that the sky was about to change.But changing the generals of the army every five years is a tradition of the Chu Empire that has not changed for thousands of years. It is to prevent people from embracing their own self-esteem and threatening the court.Unexpectedly, this time, the Third Prince took advantage of the loophole and gave him an opportunity.

Once the real power of the army is in the hands of the third prince, the already brave king will definitely be even more invincible. It is not impossible for the world to change the king.

Chen Chu frowned, and his expression finally became more and more serious. The situation in front of him was very complicated, like a chess game that had been dormant for a long time, and suddenly reached a few critical moves. yes……

One mistake, the whole game is lost.

Losing is not terrible, but if you lose the country and entrust the world to inhumans, that is terrible.Only at this time, the Ninth Prince, who played in the world, felt that the burden on him was especially heavy.After a long time, he opened his mouth slightly, but he looked at Lord Lin seriously. Above the court, people are always suspicious.

"Do you know the names of those people?" Chen Chu continued after a long time, "Do you know the weaknesses of those people? People come together because of each other's use, so there is no so-called Diehard, and the reason you say that is that you haven't done the necessary investigation."

Chen Chu looked at Lord Lin and spoke very slowly. He hoped that he could hear every word he said clearly.These people can be differentiated as soon as possible. If it can be used by me, it is the best. If not, then it must be pulled out as soon as possible.Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

"Senior generals always know something." Lord Lin nodded slightly, "Anyway, the army is not ours, but it must be the third prince's."

Chen Chu chuckled, is it black or white?Lord Lin is indeed a scheming fox, but what he said is right. There are always only two types of people in this world, enemies and friends. For those who are neither enemies nor friends, it is better to get rid of them as soon as possible. Then they became enemies, stabbed in the back without knowing it.Their lives are too dangerous, so they can only be cautious.

"I like your point of view, so I will leave this matter to you. Try to do it as cleanly as possible, and uproot the influence of the third prince. I am not afraid that he will know about this matter." Chen Chu put down the teacup in his hand, and resumed the past Lazy look.

Lord Lin nodded, already had his own plan in mind.It doesn't matter if this incident disturbs the Third Prince, anyway, it's all about swords and swords, he can't tolerate him anymore, fortunately he let go of everything.

"My lord, I have one thing to do, and I hope that my lord will be fulfilled. I hope that my lord can agree because of my dedication to the court for many years." Lin Jue suddenly had a Qi Qiran expression on his face, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Distressed.Chen Chu nodded, everyone had one or two things that he couldn't let go of, but he didn't know what the Lord Lin was worried about, and he wanted to entrust this matter to himself.

"My lord, all of the Lin family are loyal and good. But Zhiyi is still young and has no heirs. I don't know if I can come back after mediating the military camp. If Liu Xiu gives birth to a son, I hope the lord can entrust someone to take care of him. It can be regarded as saving the last bit of blood of the Lin family." Lord Lin burst into tears, hoping that Chen Chu would agree to his request.Chen Chu was silent for a while, and nodded slightly.This request is not too much, compared to Lord Lin's contribution to the imperial court, it is simply a drop in the ocean.

"Thank you, my lord, for completeness." Jue Lin smiled wryly, "Those who say that big things should be careless, but after all, I am a human being, and I can't let go of my worries. I'm afraid only a saint can be carefree, carefree and carefree. "

Chen Chu moran, in the past, he would have chuckled, laughing that he was resolute and unencumbered, but Qiao Jiuxiu's smile suddenly appeared in his mind.Shaking his head slightly, he was afraid that he would not be able to become a saint.Only after it was absolutely safe, would he tell Qiao Jiuxiu his whole heart, his whole heart.

He could be in danger, but she absolutely couldn't.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Chu got up slowly, and later he had to go to Qiao Liuxiu's side to pick up Qiao Jiuxiu, and then send her back to Lin's mansion, so his work was finished.I don't know how Qiao Liuxiu's situation is now, of course he doesn't care about her, but he just doesn't want Qiao Jiuxiu to be sad because of this.

Qiao Jiuxiu returned to Qiao's mansion, everything was calm, the wife didn't seem to notice that she had sneaked out of Qiao's mansion, and then was secretly sent back.Perhaps, after having a grandson, the wife's focus will no longer be on Qiao Jiuxiu, but on this cute fat boy.But this also made Qiao Jiuxiu heave a sigh of relief, at least she won't be punished by his wife.Yao recalled that day when he went back to Qiao's mansion in the carriage with Chen Chu, he seemed to be preoccupied, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Chen Chu couldn't tell Qiao Jiuxiu what he thought in his heart, because this matter was absolutely related to the life and death of Qiao's family.Qiao Sihai has a deep relationship with Lord Lin, as close as a family, but at the same time, he is also in-laws with the Ye family. You must know that General Ye is the mainstay of the third prince, so the position of Qiao's mansion is hard to guess, and it is not known whether it is the enemy. is friend.But no matter what the Qiao Mansion's position is, he hopes that Qiao Jiuxiu can live a simple life and never involve himself in this turbulent court struggle.

Blood flowed in rivers in palace struggles, so he couldn't bear to let Qiao Jiuxiu become a victim.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed softly, and thought of the Qiao Liuxiu she had seen that day, with her bony body, paper-white face, gray hair at the temples, and despairing eyes, she couldn't imagine that these things happened in a place where only On a 17-year-old girl.That day, when she saw Qiao Liuxiu, she didn't have the youthful vigor of a young girl, but she clearly only had the old woman's senility and decay.She couldn't forget how radiant and high-spirited Sixth Sister was when she left Qiao's mansion, but now, how could she have ended up in such a world.

Was it the cage-like marriage that missed her, or the shackle-like child that hurt her.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed softly, maybe this is the sorrow of a woman in this era, she must use a child to lock a man's heart and her position in her husband's family.If there is no child, even the maid will step on her head.I have to say, how miserable this is.In such an era, how can she still have a glimmer of beautiful illusions about marriage.

"Miss." Jinxiu slowly pushed the door open and entered, but she was wearing white clothes, only a pale plum blossom was embroidered on the cuff, in this cold and windy winter day, even the plum blossom lost its color.Qiao Jiuxiu tightened the fur coat on her body, and for some reason, a very bad feeling came to her heart.He could only watch Jinxiu quietly, hoping that what she brought would not be bad news.Jinxiu walked up to Qiao Jiuxiu hesitantly, and finally smiled, "Miss Nine, good news or bad news, which one do you want to hear?"

Qiao Jiuxiu was at a loss. She never thought that Jinxiu would bring good news. Looking at the charcoal fire that was about to go out in the furnace, she suddenly felt a little warm. It turned out that in this chilling winter, there would still be some hope after all.He breathed out lightly, and covered Jinxiu's cold hands, "Good Jinxiu, you actually have good news to tell me. Tell me, what kind of good news is that?"

Qiao Jiuxiu asked like this, but suddenly felt a chill in her heart, Jinxiu obviously said that she had good news to tell her, but why did she have such a sad expression on her face?She could only stare at Jinxiu, she seemed to have already guessed a thing or two.Jinxiu opened her mouth softly, and tried her best to smile, but she couldn't suppress the sadness and paleness in her heart, "Miss Six gave birth to a boy yesterday, weighing more than six catties. He is very healthy and lively. Lord Lin also gave him a baby boy. He gave me a nice name, Lin Jingsheng."

"Jingsheng? With all the beautiful scenery, when will it be peaceful?" Qiao Jiuxiu chuckled, this is really a very good name.But the corners of her eyes were slightly wet, and she finally guessed the bad news about Jinxiu, "What is the bad news? Has she still not made it through?"

Qing He's words once again surfaced in Qiao Jiuxiu's mind. Qing He said at that time that Sixth Sister might be able to keep the child, or maybe she couldn't.But whether she can keep the child or not, she has no way to survive.Qing He is worthy of being the best medical lady in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, she did not make a single mistake in what she said, she kept the child, but she didn't keep the Sixth Sister, and she didn't know that the posthumous child was left behind by God. Good thing, or is it a mistake.

Jinxiu nodded, Miss Bingxue was smart, so she guessed correctly. "Miss Six stayed up all night last night. The nurses at the Ninth Prince's Mansion and the imperial physician at the Emperor's Palace all went, but they were still unable to recover. This morning, Miss Six's body was completely cold. The Lord's Mansion has no intention of mourning. , so it was buried hastily.”

"Just that casual?" Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes widened in disbelief, it must be too casual.No matter what the sixth sister said, she was the main wife of the Lin family, and she gave birth to a boy for the Lin family, helping them continue their incense.They didn't visit Sixth Sister when she was alive, and now that she died, they buried her hastily without even building a mourning hall.Or, from the beginning to the end, they just regarded Sixth Sister as a reproductive tool, and when the tool was scrapped, they naturally discarded it, so there was no emotion at all.

Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh, and suddenly felt that Qiao Liuxiu was wrong at the beginning. She should not have chosen to have a child in the first place, and she only wanted a child for a glorious life. Everything is done hastily.

She suddenly felt a burst of inexplicable sadness, "Jinxiu, maybe I should have married Lin Zhiyi back then. At least in this way, Sixth Sister won't have to go." Qiao Jiuxiu's nonsensical sentence made Jinxiu unaware, so she could only wonder Looking at his young lady anxiously, he didn't know why she had such a strange idea.At this time, Qiao Jiuxiu chuckled. After hearing about Qiao Liuxiu's death, she seemed to have no hope for her marriage at all.

Marriage, perhaps, is a cage, she is doomed not to be able to escape, and she is also doomed not to be able to have happiness.I have been thinking about it all the time, a couple for a lifetime, all the way to whiteheads, I am afraid that in the end it will still be just a moon in the water, a flower in the mirror.It is the saddest thing to see but not touch.
