After her fate was taken away, she was favored by her five brothers.

I was pushed to the ground and sat there with red eyes, but I didn't cry.

The Empress's sister-in-law quickly pulled me up and scolded the Fourth Princess: "You really have no manners! He is your uncle, how can you be so unreasonable?"

The fourth princess immediately burst into tears out of grievance.

The emperor's sister-in-law couldn't care less about her daughter and asked me nervously, "Xiaojiu, are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort?"

I know that I was weak when I was born, and the emperor's sister-in-law had a hard time saving my life because she was afraid that something might happen to me.

I shook my head.

I took out the candy my father gave me and handed it to the fourth princess, "Here you go."

I thought if I tried to please her, she would like me, but she knocked the candy out of my hand and said, "You bad guy."

The fourth princess screamed and ran away.

From that time on, I realized that if I called the imperial sister-in-law "mother", my two nieces would get angry, so I never called the imperial sister-in-law "mother" again.

Because I was smart, my father liked me very much. He often carried me to court to review memorials. He also found a better teacher for me and sent the current Taifu to enlighten me.

My mother also treated me as her life, but before I was one year old, she didn't let me get close to her, for fear that she would pass her illness on to me.

After I was one year old, I became strong and her body was almost recovered, so she allowed me to enter her bedroom.

My mother always likes to hug me and cry, always saying she is sorry to me.

On the eve of my third birthday, there was a palace coup.

The emperor's father, who had always been in good health, died suddenly, and his eldest brother succeeded him and killed many people.

All the other royal brothers are also dead.

I couldn't accept this bad news, I hugged my sister-in-law and cried.

I didn't dare cry in front of my mother, for fear of affecting her health.

That night, the Imperial Sister-in-law held me and coaxed me all night long, "Don't be afraid, Xiaojiu. The Imperial Sister-in-law will protect you. Our Xiaojiu will grow up safely."

From then on, the emperor's sister-in-law would not let me leave her side for even a moment. Even when I slept at night, I stayed in her bedroom.

One time, he heard the emperor's sister-in-law and brother arguing fiercely again, "Qi Yuancheng, he is your biological brother from the same mother. He is still young, what does he know?"

Although they all treat me as a child, they don’t know that I understand everything.

There is just one thing, I seem to forget things very quickly, but I can write, so I write down some things.

I know that my father was killed by my eldest brother.

Since the death of my father, my mother's health has become worse.

I was scared, afraid that my mother would leave me too, so I went to visit her every day.

I found that even if my mother took medicine, it was of no use.

Eventually, my mother also passed away due to illness. I secretly hid the medicine residue until I had the chance to show it to the imperial physician. Only then did I realize that my mother's medicine had been secretly replaced.

I rescued a nanny who was beside my mother and learned the truth: my mother's medicine was replaced by my eldest brother.

I told the Empress Dowager the news, and she immediately covered my mouth and said, "Xiaojiu, don't talk nonsense!"

"Sister-in-law, Xiaojiu is not talking nonsense."

The emperor's sister-in-law Su Wan'er sighed, "Xiaojiu, you are still young, still a child, you should forget some things."

The emperor's sister-in-law hugged me and cried.

I don't know if she was worried about me or crying for herself.

She was made queen, the mother of a country, shouldn't she be happy?

Since that day, the emperor's sister-in-law changed. She became gentle in front of the eldest emperor, became deliberately flattering, and became willing to respond to every request.

No matter how unreasonable the eldest prince's request is, the princess is willing to do it for him.

I know that the Empress Dowager only wants to save my life.

Two months later, the emperor's sister-in-law discovered that she was pregnant again.

The emperor's sister-in-law didn't want the child and wanted to take an abortion pill, but I stopped her. "Xiaojiu wants the emperor's sister-in-law to give birth to the child."

The imperial sister-in-law touched my head and said, "Okay, since our Xiaojiu said she wants to give birth, the imperial sister-in-law will give birth to the baby."

I could see the sadness in her eyes. How much she wanted to leave the palace and leave this cannibalistic place.

But for the Su family, for her children, and especially for me, she had no choice but to stay here.

After the passing of my father and mother, I became even more dependent on my sister-in-law and became even more attached to her.

The Empress Dowager treated me very well, even better than her two biological princesses. I knew in my heart that this was not only the Empress Dowager's dying wish, but also because she raised me.

We are not mother and son, but we are better than mother and son.

I hid the half tiger talisman that my father left me in jade, asked a trusted craftsman to make a jade pendant, and gave it to the emperor's wife's unborn child.

The imperial sister-in-law thought it was just an ordinary jade pendant and didn't think much of it. She took it with a smile and said, "The imperial sister-in-law is carrying the child in her womb. Thank you, imperial uncle."

In the end, something went wrong.

The Su family was wiped out, and the emperor's sister-in-law suffered a hemorrhage after giving birth. When I arrived, the child was gone, and only the emperor's sister-in-law was lying in a pool of blood.

I ran forward, hugged my sister-in-law, and cried to her for a long time, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, please don't die. Xiaojiu only has you."

The emperor's sister-in-law may have heard my call, and ordered the aunt in charge to drive everyone out, leaving only me. I knew she had something to say to me alone.

I stopped crying and leaned over her mouth, then I heard her say weakly, "The Imperial Sister-in-law may no longer be able to accompany Xiaojiu. The Imperial Sister-in-law can't bear to leave you."

I panicked immediately, "Sister-in-law, you'll be fine, you'll be fine, I'll go get the imperial physician to treat you right away."

The Empress Dowager held me back and said, "Xiaojiu, it's useless. From now on, you must be careful of your brother and Concubine Jiang. The Empress Dowager knows that you are a child with great abilities. Before you grow up, remember to restrain your edge. This is the only way to save your life."

I nodded and listened carefully, tears streaming down my face.

"Xiaojiu, the Empress Dowager is telling you in secret. Your nephew is not dead. I have sent him away. There is a Qilin birthmark on his arm. When you grow up, go find him..."

"Sister-in-law of the emperor, sister-in-law of the emperor..."

Finally, I secretly called her "Mom" in my heart.

On this day, my sister-in-law left me forever when I was only four and a half years old.

I couldn't accept this fact, so I hugged my sister-in-law and didn't let anyone get close to me.

I didn't eat or drink, and felt like an idiot.

Seeing that I was upset and acting like a fool, my eldest brother thought that I posed no threat to him, so he spared my life.

Seeing that I was pitiful and that she had no children, Concubine Dowager De took the initiative to ask for permission to take care of me and raise me with her.

And so, I lived in the palace of Concubine Dowager De.

And I have never laughed since then.

No more tears were shed.

When I was five years old, I suddenly came to my senses. I couldn't let my sister-in-law die in obscurity.

I began to investigate, and after my father passed away, many court officials came to me.

It was finally discovered that there seemed to be another hidden reason behind Empress Su's hemorrhage after childbirth.

After all, I am just a five-year-old child, restricted in every way. I hate my small body.

I decided to leave the palace to learn some skills instead of wasting my time in this imperial palace.

With the arrangement of several loyal ministers of my father, I was successfully replaced out of the palace.
