Chapter 497 The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels
Cui Xiaoxiao pretended to study for a few more days, and by the way, she studied the poison book thoroughly. She also took the opportunity to get a lot of precious medicinal herbs from the palace, and planted some fresh ones in the backyard of the palace!
Finally, more than a month later, Cui Xiaoxiao's antidote was successful. When she handed it to the Tenth Prince, she also said that the emperor had been poisoned for a long time and his internal organs had been damaged to varying degrees.
Even if he takes the antidote, the injuries will still be there. In addition, His Majesty is old and his body functions have weakened. It is impossible for him to fully recover his health.
She didn't care about anything else. After all, so many imperial doctors were not dead. Even Cui Xiaoxiao felt inferior to them in terms of their ability to take care of people's health.
On this day, Cui Xiaoxiao received an unexpected post, which was that Cui Ningning was critically ill!
According to the visitor, she is now terminally ill and will not live for many days. He wants to see her for the last time.
Cui Xiaoxiao thought about it and decided to go and meet her. After all, there is nothing that can threaten Cui Ningning now!
She came to a small courtyard. The former Prince Kang's Mansion had been taken back by the palace, and most of Prince Kang's wives and concubines had been taken back by their parents' families! Those concubines who had been implicated by Prince Kang and had nowhere to go were all in this courtyard.
Most of the women here have lost their source of income. Those who were once favored rely on the money they saved before to make a living, while those who are no longer favored rely on embroidery to supplement their food and clothing expenses!
Here, Cui Xiaoxiao saw Cui Ningning, who was dying and had a pale face!
Cui Ningning stared at Cui Xiaoxiao for a long time. Although Cui Xiaoxiao had given birth to a child, she was still radiant and beautiful, which showed that she lived a very comfortable and happy life.
"You finally came?"
She has wanted to surpass Cui Xiaoxiao all her life, trying hard to step on her and watch her live like an ant, but things went against her wishes.
A talent show made her the ultimate existence that she could never reach in her life! She originally thought that entering the Fifth Prince's Mansion was her chance, her only chance to surpass Cui Xiaoxiao.
But there were so many women in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, all kinds of women. She couldn't fight anyone, anyone could bully her, anyone could beat her, she couldn't even remember how many beatings she had received, how much she had gone hungry, how much grievance she had suffered, how many illnesses she had gotten!
Otherwise, why would he become terminally ill and die in just a few years?
Looking back now, the happiest days of her short life were when she was in the Marquis' Mansion! Now she knew she was about to die, but she had been having the same dream over and over since the past two days.
In the dream, Cui Xiaoxiao entered the Fifth Prince's mansion and became pregnant. She, a widow, used the opportunity of caring for him to ascend to power. Cui Xiaoxiao died in childbirth, so she entered the mansion to care for the young prince. Then she became pregnant and gave birth. When the Fifth Prince ascended the throne, she gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and was made a concubine. Finally, her child became emperor, and she ascended the throne of Empress Dowager. ...
Whenever she thought of this dream, she would wake up with a smile, feeling that this was the life she was supposed to have. She felt that it was not a dream at all, but something that happened in her previous life, otherwise why did she feel it was so real?
But why is reality so completely opposite to dreams?
Then, fragments of dreams and reality appeared back and forth in her mind. She didn't know whether this dream was real in her previous life or a figment of her imagination due to her terminal illness.
But it doesn't matter anymore. She's almost dead now, and once she dies, everything will be over. What's the point in pursuing those things?
The reason why she called Cui Xiaoxiao over before she died was because she was too lonely. She felt that the whole world had isolated her and forgotten her. No one cared whether she was alive or dead. Even if she died, it would be like the death of an ant, and no one would remember her.
"Yeah, didn't you call me here? Tell me, what exactly did you call me here for?"
"Why don't you laugh at me? Why don't you make fun of me? I'm already so miserable and almost dying now. You should be happy, right?" She had bullied her so much in the Marquis' Mansion before, and she didn't care? Even if she hated her, it would be fine!
"You called me here just to hear my ridicule and mockery? That's ridiculous. What does your well-being have to do with me?"
"But I used to bully you. I took advantage of daddy's favor to bully you in various ways and snatch your things. Have you forgotten?" She asked again without giving up.
"I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. What's the matter? Did you call me over to apologize to me? Well, before you die, you have to settle all grudges. Although I don't care much about it, I won't let you die with regrets. You tell me, I'm listening!" It turned out that she called her over just to apologize.
She really didn't care about those things. She didn't need the Marquis's favor. As for the property they fought over, hadn't she already taken it back? She wasn't the original owner who knew nothing and longed for family affection, so she couldn't empathize with her.
"Haha, that's right. You are always like this. No matter how I live, no matter whether I live or die, you don't care. It's ridiculous that I regarded you as my lifelong enemy. It turns out that I am nothing in your eyes." Cui Ningning has completely given up!
People say that true death is being forgotten by the world. She hasn't even died yet, but she has already been forgotten by the world. In a sense, although she is still alive, she has already died.
Cui Xiaoxiao was confused on the way back. The dying man called her over and just said some incomprehensible words in the end.
When the Tenth Prince learned about this, he smiled and said, "How come he is completely different from the Fifth Prince before his death?"
"Huh? Did you go to see the fifth prince before he died?" Cui Xiaoxiao really didn't know about this.
"Yes! He is not a good man. He wanted to dig a hole for me before he died! He said you were his man, and how much information you gave him, and how much benefits and gold and silver jewelry you got from him." But he fought back.
"Did you tell him the truth?" Cui Xiaoxiao was also a little amused!
"Of course, he was so angry the moment he learned the truth that he vomited blood." What the Tenth Prince didn't mention was that the Fifth Prince also asked him why he had resolutely chosen Cui Xiaoxiao a few years ago. What was so special about her? This question had troubled him for years!
What had he said then? "The reason I resolutely chose her was, of course, because she's wonderful. All the ladies from the capital combined aren't even one-tenth as wonderful as she is." He hadn't lied.
As for what was so good about Cui Xiaoxiao? Why did he need to explain it to him? His wife's good points were for him alone to know! What if everyone knew about it and started competing with him for her?
Cui Xiaoxiao was speechless. They probably wouldn’t have another life, right?
Ever since she started working in this industry, she'd understood one thing: some secrets shouldn't be revealed until the dying. Whether someone died with their eyes closed or not, what business did they have? What if they were reborn? What if they appeared in a dream?
Cui Ningning died the next day. She didn't even have a coffin; she was buried wrapped in a thin blanket! When Cui Xiaoxiao learned of this, she didn't even frown.
How could the death of an unimportant person be more important than her son's smile? The little kid, who had just learned to sit at less than seven months old, was now learning to crawl.
Cui Xiaoxiao saw that the emperor had handed over the antidote, but the emperor had not yet given her a promotion for saving the emperor. She even inquired about the situation, and the reason she learned from the Tenth Prince was that she had been influenced by the Marquis's Mansion, and now she was the daughter of a criminal...
If I had known this would happen, I should have drugged her shortly after she got married, so that she would at least not be implicated by the Marquis's Mansion.
He also said that the emperor meant to confer the title of Prince Jing on the child as compensation at Mu'er's first birthday party!
It was at this time that Cui Xiaoxiao learned that the only requirement for the Tenth Prince to join his side was to make her his official wife! However, he could say such things to his brothers, but he would never dare to say them to the emperor. In the royal family, women can be favored, but not exclusively!
Although His Majesty had a good impression of Cui Xiaoxiao, no matter how important it was, his own son was more important than her, and His Majesty would never treat his son unfairly. If he favored her exclusively, it would be this woman's fault...
The couple had tried hard, but the time for a permanent position wasn't ripe yet, and it always felt a little off. Cui Xiaoxiao didn't want to wait any longer. After all, many people were interested in the position, and some were even ready to take it. She didn't want someone like that to suddenly come and put pressure on her in her territory.
In order to avoid any further complications, she took the initiative and, like all other time-traveling women, handed over the prescription for using cowpox to prevent smallpox. After all, the emperor knew that she was a doctor.
This is a great achievement that will last for generations to come and is also a political achievement of the emperor. It should no longer be able to prevent her from becoming a regular employee.
Sure enough, not long after the prescription was submitted, the emperor, who had already recovered, was overjoyed and immediately found the imperial physician to verify the authenticity of the prescription.
Two months later, the imperial edict of promotion came down, and Cui Xiaoxiao officially became the Princess of Jing!
Soon, the child’s first birthday party arrived, and a grand banquet was held in Prince Jing’s Mansion. The chubby little boy Chu Muqing officially became the Prince of Jing!
A family of three, enjoying themselves happily.
When the fat boy was two years old, Cui Xiaoxiao became pregnant again. This time she took multiple birth pills because she didn't want to have children all the time. If Prince Jing's Mansion didn't want to give birth to another woman, one child was obviously not enough.
There was a reason why she chose to get pregnant at this time.
The emperor's health improved, his mood improved, and the concubines in the harem also announced their pregnancy! The emperor was overjoyed, thinking that he was still young and that the palace would soon hold a new round of selections.
After all, His Majesty still has two unmarried princes who are old enough to get married!
As soon as the imperial decree for the talent show was issued, news of her multiple pregnancies would spread, and by the time the talent show was over, she would have given birth. The timing was perfect!
She said that it was not a good thing to detoxify the emperor, because by this time the next emperor would have ascended the throne and she would have been promoted to the position of emperor. The new emperor would not care about what was happening in his brothers' backyard!
Everything happened as Cui Xiaoxiao expected. As soon as the news of multiple pregnancies came out after more than four months, the emperor ordered a talent show. When the talent show was over, Cui Xiaoxiao gave birth to three sons in one pregnancy, and all four of them were safe!
This was the first time that triplets were born in the royal family. The emperor was overjoyed and decided on the spot that he would give the triplets names!
This caused a sensation throughout the capital, disappointing the powerful families who had envied Princess Jing and cursed Cui Xiaoxiao to have several lives destroyed. The Jingwang Mansion, which had previously had few children, suddenly had many more, and all of them were legitimate sons!
Cui Xiaoxiao's three sons: one resembled their father, one resembled the emperor, and one resembled a combination of their parents. All of them were handsome and healthy. The entire capital was filled with praise for Cui Xiaoxiao's good fortune.
Her handsome husband was her exclusive favorite, and she was the legitimate wife, the legitimate son, and had power, influence, wealth, and favor. She had it all. She had become the envy of all the women in the capital.
This time, because Cui Xiaoxiao had given birth to a son, the Jing Wang Mansion had many descendants. The Tenth Prince refused to allow anyone into the mansion, and the couple stayed at home to concentrate on raising their son.
This time, there were no newcomers accepted into Prince Jing's Mansion. During the next talent show, Cui Xiaoxiao submitted sweet potato and corn seeds. Prince Jing's Mansion was again exempted from accepting newcomers and received a golden medal of immunity from death and a nice fiefdom!
Cui Xiaoxiao once again regretted giving the emperor the antidote. Originally, there was only the eleventh prince, but the emperor had added several princes and princesses in the past few years, and now the number of princes had reached eighteen.
Fortunately, her children have grown up and are now in school, and the emperor's health has finally improved.
When Cui Xiaoxiao's third child was six years old, she became pregnant again. This time it was an accident because the contraceptive pills that the Tenth Prince had prepared himself had expired, and the couple forgot about the pregnancy.
Since the baby was here, Cui Xiaoxiao had no plans to abort it, because Prince Jing's Mansion had everything except a sweet and soft little princess. This was also the wish of the father and son. They made wishes to Cui Xiaoxiao's belly every day and prepared a lot of small clothes, skirts, and beautiful headdresses!
However, to everyone's disappointment, after ten months of pregnancy, Cui Xiaoxiao finally gave birth to a baby, but the baby was still a stinky boy, a stinky boy who looked very much like Cui Xiaoxiao.
If it weren't for the extra little bird, everyone would have suspected that they had made a mistake. The angry father and son gave all these things to the little boy. Before he was two years old, this little boy wore girl's clothes, a pink and tender replica of Cui Xiaoxiao, so delicate and cute.
If it weren't for Cui Xiaoxiao's strong opposition, the father and son would have persisted.
After this accident, Cui Xiaoxiao directly gave the tenth prince sterilization drugs. Five little brats were enough, and she really didn't want to have any more children.
When Xiaowu was four years old, the emperor passed away. As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, the unscrupulous couple, the Tenth Prince, threw all five children into the emperor's study, while two of them secretly ran away to play. They said that the children were being used as hostages for the emperor!
Anyway, they are not worried about safety at all. The eldest child is in his teens, and Concubine Zhaogui is still living in the palace!
The other princes followed suit and sent all their school-age children to the palace. After all, the quality of education in the palace was absolutely top-notch. When they were about to escape to play, they were all intercepted by the emperor who had reacted.
The newly crowned emperor was also overwhelmed by this, as there were too many things to do. Not only did he have to deal with various official duties, but he also had to judge various lawsuits for the children. Because the sons and princesses born to the previous emperor were not yet old, the uncles and nephews were causing chaos in the palace!
Which boy isn't naughty? And they were a group of boys of different ages, either fighting or causing trouble, and they almost blew off the roof of the palace gate!
The emperor was furious. Not only did his brothers not help him with the work, they also wanted him to help take care of the children. How could such a good thing happen? In a fit of rage, he sent all his adult brothers, nephews, and nephews to work.
Even the Tenth Prince and his wife, who ran fast and were not caught, were assigned inspection duties by him, mainly to check whether the local officials were corrupt and were causing trouble for the people?
Cui Xiaoxiao and the Tenth Prince had been away playing for half a year before returning. They attended a New Year's banquet at the palace, and took the Imperial Concubine out to play! The emperor was so angry that he directly stuffed the Crown Prince into their group, under the pretext of "going out to broaden his horizons."
The Tenth Prince's original request for Cui Xiaoxiao to become a regular employee had been replaced by the Imperial Concubine's freedom. There was no problem in taking the fifty-year-old Imperial Concubine out for fun.
I didn’t bring any of the children with me because they had to go to school!
They weren't just playing around; they diligently completed the tasks assigned by the Emperor. If they encountered injustice or corruption, they would write memorials to the Emperor for resolution.
Of course, if we come across anything beautiful, delicious, or fun, we will give some to the emperor, and the tour will become a secret visit.
