The dose used by the person who drugged him was not high. Only after three months of continuous consumption will the child lose his fertility. After Cheng Jiujiu was taken to the Empress's Hibiscus Palace, Doctor Ouyang deliberately found the personal maid and said that the little prince liked to eat snacks, so he brought a plate.

As expected, there were chronic drugs in it.

It seems that the eldest prince has not taken this medicine for three months...

Or maybe the person who poisoned Cheng Jiujiu did not want to hurt him, so he changed to a gentler method, because the medicine is harmless to young boys, it will only make them sleepy. But one of the herbs is specifically for women. Fortunately, the ninth prince is still young, so after treatment, he will get better tonight.

It was his duty to protect the little prince and the empress. He was not going to get involved in the troubles of the eldest prince and the harem.

Ouyang Yue looked at Cheng Jiujiu, who was only three years old, and suddenly felt that his life was hopeless.

He had thought that if the empress could not bear the grace, he would find a chance to persuade the empress to fake her death and escape from the sea of ​​suffering. In this way, he could leave the palace and be free.

Who knew that the empress was not only favored but also the most favored in the six harems. Now, not only could she not leave, but she also gave birth to a little trouble like Cheng Jiujiu. It's all your fault. He can't leave the palace, do you know?

Ouyang Yue pointed at Cheng Qijiu with a silver needle, and of course, the needle was inserted very accurately and did not go off the target. He actually wanted to just leave, but there was an undercurrent in the harem.

Since the day when the Empress was pregnant, countless poisonous things have been sent to Furong Palace in various ways, and some of them were even rewards from His Majesty the Emperor.

According to the expectations of Emperor Mingsheng for Cheng Qijiu, it proves that he cannot kill Cheng Qijiu himself. If so, it means that there are people in the court who do not want Cheng Qijiu to be born.

If it weren't for Ouyang Yue, there would have been two lives lost. Even after she was born, all kinds of means were used. It was not that Cheng Jiujiu was physically weak, but rather that there were jackals and tigers outside who wanted to eat her alive.

How could it be so easy to get the favor of the emperor?

It can be said that in the entire harem, except for the Empress, no one really treated the Ninth Prince. Even His Majesty the Emperor just needed to use him.

If one day, the Ninth Prince was made the Crown Prince. Ouyang Yue didn't even dare to think about how many years the mother and son could live.

Because of Cheng Jiujiu's special identity, there was no one around when Ouyang Yue treated her. Although Queen Xiande was gentle and even a little cowardly, this was probably the truth that a mother should be strong.

She was able to survive because she had her daughter disguised as a man, so she was really attentive in protecting Cheng Jiujiu. Someone once wanted to sneak in, but the weak queen beat the bold spy to death with a board in front of the entire harem.

After killing more than 30 spies, Cheng Jiujiu was finally safe, and the queen's reputation was established. She didn't care who came to test her, as long as there was a possibility of hurting Jiujiu, then, let him die.

Her own child is the most important, even if she is guilty of sin in the end, she doesn't care, this is her flesh and blood, her dearest child.

So, here is the safest place now.

Doctor Ouyang, who had a lot of complaints but nowhere to vent, finally had a place to complain. After all, the Ninth Prince was still young, and he was poisoned, so he might still be unconscious.

It didn't hurt to say those outrageous words

of his. Cheng Qijiu, who accidentally knew many secrets, "..."

So he said that this was an unprovoked disaster? He was not the only one who suffered in the whole palace, even his seemingly unrestrained eldest brother was not spared. Doctor Ouyang's words reminded Cheng Qijiu.

It seemed that...

his eldest brother had no children after all, even when he was twenty years old, his eldest brother was still alone. He thought the eldest prince did it on purpose, but he didn't expect that he was poisoned.

This harem is really a place where people are eaten.

However, from what Doctor Ouyang said, it seemed that the eldest brother could still be saved...

Lying on the small bed, Cheng Xijiu closed her eyes and rested. She wanted to pretend not to know like Doctor Ouyang, but, the eldest brother who held her in the palm of his hand. In order to survive, she had already put on a mask of domineering and arrogant, and endured the ridicule of many people. Did she really have to watch the eldest brother die without any descendants?

No, she couldn't do it.

But what could her three-year-old body do? The eldest brother was indeed pitiful, but the queen mother was also her mother who loved her deeply, and she couldn't put her mother in danger. Words cannot be said directly. Lest it bring disaster upon herself.

So, what should she do? Is there no perfect plan?

With a small head and big worries, Cheng Jiujiu tried hard to think but fell asleep while thinking. Her little baby body was really too weak. It was difficult to protect herself, so how could she protect others?

Perhaps it was because Cheng Jiujiu thought too much that she watched the life of the ninth prince in her sleep. He was made the crown prince at the age of three, got the military token at the age of five, participated in government affairs at the age of ten, married a princess from a neighboring country at the age of sixteen, and died for the grassland prince at the age of twenty.

The seemingly glorious and short life was actually manipulated by Emperor Mingsheng. Everything he got as a chess piece was given by Emperor Mingsheng. It's so

hard to live, no, wait...

Cheng Qijiu, who woke up, suddenly found an opportunity for her survival in the story line, that is, to hold on to her father's thighs. As long as she listens to her father, it will not be so difficult for her to survive. Even as long as she lets her father know that she is not interested in the throne, it will not be difficult for her to survive .

No one can play better than Emperor Mingsheng!

Of course, Cheng Qijiu refers to Emperor Mingsheng who is not completely confused. Although Emperor Mingsheng is confused after the age of 85, he is not stupid. He just cares too much about power and status. People who climb up from the bottom will never give up power unless they die.

Similarly, as long as the eldest brother also holds on to his father's thighs, he should be able to live comfortably in the palace. He did so, but someone still reached out to the eldest brother.

There is no one who can be trusted in the entire palace. Even Emperor Mingsheng, Cheng Jiujiu is skeptical. After all, this emperor can do anything for the throne. Therefore

, if the eldest brother stays in the palace, he will go down the old path of cutting off his descendants.

Early the next morning, the eldest prince Jinyun was invited by eunuch Zhang beside the emperor. As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Cheng Jiujiu's baby voice.

When he left, his sickly little face was as pale as paper, and now his little voice is full of confidence. He was annoying when he was here, and he missed him badly after being away for only a few days.

He went to Furong Palace to visit, but unfortunately, he was turned away by the Empress.

Thinking of Cheng Jiujiu's pitiful appearance when he was sick that day, His Highness Jinyun could understand the Empress's feelings. After all, he felt very distressed.

He greeted him happily and went in, but the baby-voiced little thing was competing with his father for favor, "Father, am I your favorite prince?"

"Yes." The happy Emperor Mingsheng agreed to Cheng Jiujiu's words and agreed to everything he said, enjoying the rare happiness of family.

"Between me and my eldest brother, who is the prince your father loves the most?"

"It's Xiaojiu."

"Father, you are talking nonsense. Everyone says that you love your eldest brother the most. He can do anything, but I have never done anything."

"Xiaojiu, whatever you want to do, your father will do it." Emperor Mingsheng has many children, but this is the first time he has met a son who can speak clearly and does not cry or make a fuss at the age of three.

Cheng Jiujiu came to him seriously and said that he was sick and scared and wanted his father to protect him. His father is the most powerful person in the world. With his father, he is not afraid of anything. It

is said that children's words are not to be feared, and children's words are also the most true, not to mention this three-year-old child?

Cheng Jiujiu was not afraid of him and still depended on him, which made Emperor Mingsheng feel very fresh, so he kept the little guy. The little thing sat beside him seriously, and then began to doze off after a while.

He couldn't help but knock on the table, and the little thing immediately sat up straight, looking at him seriously, "Son, I'm not sleepy, son, I'm not sleepy..." However, while speaking, he lowered his head little by little, and fell asleep again after a while.

It was interesting to have a quiet little thing accompany him like this.

Emperor Mingsheng kept Cheng Jiujiu here. During this period, Queen Xiande wanted to take him back several times, but Cheng Jiujiu hugged Emperor Mingsheng's thigh and refused to let go, saying that he wanted his father.

Looking at that posture, Eunuch Zhang had a vague illusion that time was going backwards. That day, the little prince held the eldest prince in such a way that he would not let go.

However, this trick not only worked on the eldest prince, but also worked on His Majesty the Emperor.

Cheng Jiujiu became the little prince who slept on the dragon bed at the age of three, and he was the talk

of the town for a while. "Then I want my father to throw my eldest brother out of the palace, and my father can only favor his son." Cheng Jiujiu arrogantly stepped on the dragon bed and pointed at the eldest prince Jinyun who had just entered.

"?" His Majesty Jinyun had an incredible look on his face. The little thing who was only three years old could actually say such a thing. I protected him so much, but he actually wanted his father to expel him from the palace? He

knew how to compete for favor at the age of three?

Do you know that the one next to you is not a kind father, he is the emperor who controls the chess game of the world.

How could Cheng Qijiu not know all this?

She did this on purpose, not only to drive her elder brother out of the palace, but also to put his arrogant reputation on her head. When she gets the title of an arrogant little prince, let's see who still wants her to be the crown prince. Borrowing the name of her father to establish her own authority, it's a strategy of killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, only Cheng Qijiu can do this, who made her a three-year-old baby? It's reasonable for children to compete for favors, especially for favored children? From the perspective of logical rationality, there is no problem.

Facts have proved that Cheng Qijiu made the right bet.

In order to show that he was the emperor who had the final say, he really drove the eldest prince Jinyun out of the palace and threw him into the court, letting him start from the bottom.

Hmm?

This is different from what she imagined. Cheng Jiujiu thought that Emperor Mingsheng would let her eldest brother be a prince with no official duties.

Cheng Jiujiu had no idea that, as the saying goes, the emperor's heart is hard to predict. Cheng Jiujiu's actions made Emperor Mingsheng think that someone was teaching her, and that the people behind Cheng Jiujiu really thought that she would become the crown prince and even began to suppress other princes.

In order to balance power, Emperor Mingsheng took advantage of this contradiction and directly set the eldest prince Jinyun and Cheng Jiujiu against each other. On the surface, he punished the eldest prince Jinyun, but in fact, he was ready to give up power.

Even if he wanted to make Cheng Jiu the crown prince, he would never allow anyone to control his chess pieces behind the scenes. The person who made the move could only be him.

Jinyun has a bad reputation in recent years, and now he has a conflict with the most favored Ninth Prince's faction. Now if he takes more care of Jiner, she will definitely be grateful.

Emperor Mingsheng is very good at things like power and people's hearts. He even gave Jinyun a position in the army because he knew that Jinyun was good at martial arts. He apparently lost favor, but actually won the emperor's favor.

According to normal logic, Emperor Mingsheng was indeed a very powerful emperor. However... he was facing Cheng Jiujiu, who didn't want to be the crown prince at all, and this time she took this desperate measure to protect her brother from having no descendants.

Therefore, no matter how well Emperor Mingsheng arranged it, the final result would be different from his original plan. Some powers, once released, could never be taken back, and some things could not be thought too much. But that was all a matter for the future, and no problems could be seen at the moment.

Cheng Jiujiu was picked up by his eldest brother Jinyun just after coming out of the study. Although he had wanted to leave the wall for a long time but had no way out, he didn't want it to be this way. Thinking of Cheng Jiujiu's smug expression, she was filled with anger. She wanted to slap Cheng Jiujiu's little butt, "Little thing, you dare to drive me out of the palace?"

"Do you know how terrible the imperial physician Ouyang is? Those needles are so long, and they are all stuck in Jiujiu's body. It hurts so much! You bad guy!" Cheng Jiujiu carefully measured the length of the silver needles while accusing the eldest prince Jinyun of his crimes. His chubby little paws poked directly on Jinyun's face, and his momentum was overwhelming. The

prince Jinyun, who originally came to question the crime, ended up being defeated, "?"

What needles, what pain? What imperial physician Ouyang? What is this little thing talking about? His Highness Jinyun wanted to talk things out with Cheng Jiujiu, but the little thing was only three years old, and his big eyes were staring at him fiercely, as if he had done something excessive.

Being stared at, His Highness Jinyun silently put Cheng Jiujiu down, and then the little thing stepped on his foot and ran away, even turning back and making faces at him arrogantly.

Hey!

His Highness Jinyun was angry, but that little bastard had entered the study, and his father had just kicked him out of the palace for him. If he went in again, he would definitely suffer the consequences.

Little thing, you just wait for him! His Highness

Jinyun was kicked out of the palace to set up his own family, and he didn't even have the title of a prince. This simply shocked everyone. When they heard that the cause was actually the Ninth Prince's fight for favor, they were even more amazed.

A favor is better than another, the eldest prince is still not as favored as the little prince! The little prince just got sick because he lived with the eldest prince, and as a result, the eldest prince lost his favor.

This Ninth Prince is a remarkable man. Before, the Empress killed thirty-seven people for him, and later, His Majesty the Emperor expelled the eldest prince from the palace for him. I understand, now in the Forbidden City, the person who should not be provoked the most is Cheng Jiujiu.

They promised that they would never provoke this little ancestor even if they died.

Several princes came to gloat over the misfortune, but were beaten up skillfully by the First Prince Jin Yun. This was not as agreed. You have been so miserable, why do you still dare to hit them?

"Anyway, I have been expelled from the palace, and there may be fewer opportunities in the future. Otherwise, you can fight with me for a while?" Facts have proved that the First Prince, who has lost the emperor's favor, is still the strongest in terms of martial arts.

The little princes who had come to rejoice in the misfortune left with bruises on their faces, and His Highness Jinyun, who had beaten up his younger brother, was also in a good mood. Although the one he beat up was not Cheng Jiujiu, he was still his younger brother after all.
