The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 267
It has been two months since Chu Dichen was assassinated last time.His body will naturally take care of itself.Sure enough, Qing He didn't lie, but within three to five days, she didn't have to lie on the bed anymore, and then she was recruited into the palace by the emperor, saying that there was something important to discuss together.Seeing how busy Chu Dichen was, Qiao Jiuxiu felt very distressed.I don't know if the emperor is too unkind, but he is his own brother, why not let him rest at home for two more days?

What a squeeze.Qiao Jiuxiu pursed her lips, slandering in her heart.In fact, if these words were made known to the emperor, he would probably be furious and feel quite wronged, so he naturally planned to let his ninth younger brother take a good rest.But Chu Dichen was unwilling, saying that now is the critical moment, how could he ask for leave for so long because of a minor injury?The emperor had no choice but to allow Chu Dichen to come back early.

In order not to worry Chu Dichen, Qiao Jiuxiu stayed in the palace for the past two months and hardly went out.Yingluan followed her, busy with two things.The first thing is to help her deal with the affairs of the palace. Since that day, she has shown the majesty of being a princess in front of everyone, which has convinced many people. vase.

The second thing is to investigate that strange nun in Qiao's mansion.Yingluan's method Qiao Jiuxiu is not clear, but she also knows that she has always been very efficient in handling affairs, but after searching all the way, she did not find any important information, which made Qiao Jiuxiu feel a little strange, did they really think too much , this nanny is the same as ordinary nanny, there is nothing special about it at all.

Since they couldn't find anything for the time being, Qiao Jiuxiu fortunately asked Yingluan to put this matter down first. After all, there are still many things waiting for them to deal with in Qiao's residence recently.Yingluan felt that what Qiao Jiuxiu said was naturally very reasonable.So put that thing aside for now.Together with Qiao Jiuxiu, continue to manage the affairs of the palace.It's just that Chu Dichen hasn't returned to the palace for five or six days recently, so he simply stayed in the palace.

Is he really that busy?Qiao Jiuxiu only felt distressed.But the palace itself has not been there for a long time, and I don't know if the eldest sister is okay.

While he was thinking about this, he saw a servant from the palace rushing in. This palace attendant is a popular eunuch in front of the emperor, so he was able to enter Qiao Jiuxiu's house so smoothly without a single servant stopping him along the way. Room.Qiao Jiuxiu looked at him suspiciously. She had met him two or three times before. She always felt that this palace man had a very calm personality. She never thought that there would be such a panic, so she asked him what happened. People trembled and did not dare to say more, from the beginning to the end, there was only one sentence.

"The prince told the princess to enter the palace quickly. It's better to dress up plainly."

Qiao Jiuxiu was taken aback suddenly, Chu Dichen would not normally invite him into the palace, so it must be something important to enter the palace this time.And he also specifically told him to dress, could something have happened?He didn't care about so much, he got up quickly, and let the palace man lead the way, Yingluan frowned, but still followed.

In the carriage, Qiao Jiuxiu looked very worried, for fear that something might happen to Chu Dichen.Yingluan also looked very worried, until Qiao Jiuxiu's mood stabilized a little, Yingluan said, "Princess, don't worry too much, since the prince sent someone to pass the message, it means that nothing happened to him .Maybe it’s just that you haven’t seen the concubine yearning so much for a few days, that’s why I let you into the palace to have a talk.”

"I hope so." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, but knew that the possibility of this was almost zero.Chu Dichen misses himself, of course it makes sense, just like she has been thinking about him now, but it is not necessary to send someone to inform him, and let him enter the palace in plain clothes, it is clear what happened something else.The more she thought about it, the more worried she became, and asked the palace man who drove the carriage to drive the carriage very fast.

"Princess, don't be nervous. Something will happen at this speed." Yingluan saw Qiao Jiuxiu's look of confusion, "Princess, you must calm down now, you must stabilize yourself first, so that there will be no chaos. position. We can't let the prince worry about us."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, Yingluan's words naturally had their own reasons, and finally calmed down her heart completely, "Yingluan, you are right, even if the sky is falling, I have to calm down , together with the prince, handle the next thing well."

When she thought of Chu Dichen, she had unlimited motivation and completely calmed down.

"Ninth Concubine, we're here." The palace man stopped the car.Qiao Jiuxiu got out of the carriage and found that she was in front of the eldest sister's yard. Chu Dichen was standing at the door, and when he saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Qiao Jiuxiu also heaved a sigh of relief, and threw herself into his arms. Apart from being a little haggard, he looked fine, which also made Qiao Jiuxiu feel relieved.

"You called me here in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Chu Dichen carefully, afraid that he might hear some bad news from him.Chu Dichen hesitated for a while, then nodded. "It's a really bad thing. I tell you, you have to be prepared, too."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Although she didn't know exactly what happened, it must have something to do with the elder sister.Otherwise, she knew that she had entered the palace, why didn't she come to greet her?She came all the way, even though she was hiding in the carriage, she heard many palace people crying, could it be...

"Is something wrong with eldest sister?" Qiao Jiuxiu only felt her heart hit her throat.When she was in the Qiao Mansion, if it weren't for the elder sister's constant care for her, she didn't know if she would be able to get ahead.I don't know how much hardship I will suffer in Qiao's mansion.So I am always grateful to my sister.

Chu Dichen breathed a sigh of relief and finally nodded. He couldn't hide this matter from Qiao Jiuxiu at all. He also hoped that Qiao Jiuxiu could comfort Qiao Yuanxiu. "The little prince suffered from smallpox, and the imperial doctors are still treating him, but you know, it's smallpox."

He didn't go on.It's just that the corners of the eyes are slightly red.Qiao Jiuxiu was silent. With the medical technology of this era, smallpox is absolutely fatal, and there is no way to treat it.Once suffering from smallpox, it is tantamount to a death sentence.Qiao Jiuxiu knew all these things clearly.His eyes were so red that he was about to cry. "Where is the eldest sister, can I see her?"

Chu Dichen nodded, but he took Qiao Jiuxiu's hand and walked towards the inner room. The two of them were silent all the way, holding each other tightly with only one hand.They have already said that they have to face the ups and downs of life together, so Chu Dichen will accompany Qiao Jiuxiu for a ride and walk this journey together.

Gently pushed the door open, but saw that Qiao Yuanxiu and Chu Diyan were inside, their expressions were exhausted and powerless.Qiao Jiuxiu approached and called softly "big sister".Qiao Yuanxiu nodded, leaned on Qiao Jiuxiu's shoulder, and began to cry, her eyes were very red and swollen, and she didn't know how long she had been crying these days. "Jiumei, you're here. Quickly help Ben Gong to see if there is still a way to treat the child?"

Qiao Jiuxiu was a little helpless, she was not a doctor, how could she have a solution.But he couldn't speak to make Qiao Yuanxiu despair, so he could only pat her on the back, but didn't speak.

"Yuanxiu, don't embarrass Jiumei." Chu Diyan came over to relieve the siege, "Don't worry, my imperial physician is the best doctor, and they will definitely cure the emperor."

"Really?" Qiao Yuanxiu looked at Chu Diyan expectantly, and murmured that he only had such a child, so nothing unexpected would happen.Chu Diyan could only nod his head in comfort.It's just that it was smallpox. After knowing the disease, he was basically sentenced to death.

These words were definitely too cruel for Qiao Yuanxiu, and he couldn't bear to say them in front of Qiao Yuanxiu, so he could only sigh slightly. "Yuanxiu, you have been waiting here for three days, you should go back and rest. If there is any news, I will tell you."

Qiao Yuanxiu shook her head, and she could only fall asleep peacefully after she was sure that the child was fine.Qiao Jiuxiu looked at the eldest sister cautiously, not knowing how to speak to calm her emotions.

She felt that she was really useless, and every time it came to this time, she just didn't know how to speak.Although it is not the first time she has experienced life and death, but every time, she will find that in the face of death, no matter how powerful she pretends to be, it is futile.

He could only look at Chu Dichen, and Chu Dichen moved his body slightly towards Qiao Jiuxiu, so that she could lean in his arms, "Yes, sister-in-law, you should go back to rest first, the prince, We take care of it."

The first time he called Qiao Yuanxiu's sister-in-law instead of the blunt Concubine Qi, he knew that he regarded her as his relative.Qiao Yuanxiu nodded gratefully to Chu Dichen, but before he could say anything, he heard three firecrackers.

Qiao Jiuxiu heard this firecracker last time, it seemed that it was sounded when the Queen Mother was seeing off, but at that time there were six firecrackers.She looked at Chu Dichen in puzzlement, but she saw that both he and Chu Diyan were looking at Qiao Yuanxiu with serious faces.

"Prince, no more." Qiao Yuanxiu said this after a long time.The appearance of not crying or fussing made people very worried. After encountering such a serious setback, they hoped that she could cry, at least she would not feel too sad in her heart.

But Qiao Yuanxiu just stared at the front in a daze, her eyes glazed over.In the end it turned out to be planted.

Seeing this, Chu Diyan quickly hugged her, put her on the bed beside her, and called the imperial physician to come over to check.Qiao Jiuxiu burst into tears, and her heart was dead silent.
