Chapter 352: Requested
Cui Keyin told Zhou Heng about Qi Rou's request to see him, and Zhou Heng said, "Do you know why the Qi family asked to see you?" β
Qi Nai has been in prison for half a month, during this time, the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Qi family have been running for him, and even the students have been instigated, why is it useless for the Qi family to let Qi Rou, the queen's old man?
Cui Keyin's heart moved, and said, "You mean? β
If you want to say that the Qi family is because Qi Nai impeached Cui Keyin, and you are embarrassed to see Cui Keyin, it is impossible. Courtiers often impeached each other, and the emperor was a natural target, and they were proud to impeach the emperor and be courted by the emperor. In the past, the Hou/Palace had no sense of existence in the eyes of the courtiers, and even the Queen Mother could not stretch out her hand to Lihua Gate, so the courtiers collectively ignored it and would not waste their words and ink to impeach these women.
Cui Keyin is different, the emperor and her are as loving as a folk couple, and her influence on the emperor is immeasurable. So Cui Keyin inevitably entered their sight, and their every move was concerned by them.
This is also the reason why they support the imperial history led by Zhou Quan to come forward and ask the emperor to take a concubine, there are more women in the harem, Cui Keyin is too busy, so he has no time and energy to pay attention to the court politics. If Zhou Heng has more women, he will not be favored, and Cui Keyin's influence on Zhou Heng will be insufficient.
Knowing Cui Keyin's weight, but not coming to intercede until this time, wouldn't it be contrary to common sense?
Zhou Heng saw that Cui Keyin understood, and said, "The secret agent found out that the henchman of the nursery went to see the Weng family." β
Cui Keyin said: "I understand. β
The nursery didn't care about Qi Nai's life or death at all, and only regarded him as a pawn to attack Zhou Heng.
In the afternoon of the next day, Qi Rou and Weng Shi cheered up and entered the palace gate of Anhua Palace under the guidance of the inner servant. The middle coat on the back was almost soaked with sweat.
Cui Keyin sat upright, and when the two of them finished worshipping, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Weng, Arou, please take a seat." β
When Qi Rou heard the word "Arou", she almost cried, Cui Keyin hadn't forgotten the old friendship.
Cui Keyin only told Qi Rou some interesting things in the old boudoir, and exchanged handkerchiefs with a few acquaintances, and never mentioned Qi Nai's affairs. Weng kept glancing at Qi Rou, and Qi Rou finally mentioned half a sentence, but was diverted by Cui Keyin.
Now. Cui Keyin said of Gu Yu. sighed: "I heard that before I passed the door, my husband was gone, and she must be very sad to think about it." I have written to her to go to the capital to relax. β
Gu Yu has been her playmate since childhood, and she has been writing letters since she left Qinghe.
How could Qi Rou be in the mood to listen to other people's affairs. Just follow her words. Said: "Niangniang is kind-hearted. Gu Yuruo entered Beijing. We've got another company. β
In fact, she and Gu Yu only met once, and they didn't like each other.
Cui Keyin secretly observed and saw that she had changed a lot compared to when she was a girl. Although he smiled reluctantly, his face was sad when he didn't smile, and the husband he married must not be very agreeable.
"Not really. I'm in the forbidden palace, I'm not free to go anywhere, I revolve around the children every day, and I'm suffocated to death, if you are willing to come to see me, I have to be more comfortable. Cui Keyin sighed.
Weng Shi laughed before Qi Rou spoke: "Niangniang lives above Jiuque, how dare the courtiers meet casually?" β
Qi Rou frowned slightly, glanced at Weng, and did not speak.
Cui Keyin smiled and said: "What did Mrs. Weng say, Ah Rou and I were old playmates, and our friendship was different. β
Weng Shi glanced at Qi Rou.
Qi Rou sighed and said, "It's a shame to say that Niangniang and the courtiers are old friends, but the uncle is angry with Niangniang......"
Weng breathed a sigh of relief and finally got to the point.
Cui Keyin looked at the looks of the two of them in her eyes and said, "It's inconvenient for us little women to get involved in the affairs between their men. Either way, let them go. β
Weng was in a hurry, bowed to the ground, and said: "The outer son is upright, offended the mother, and begged the mother to be magnanimous." β
Cui Keyin asked people to help Weng Shi up, and said, "The two of you asked to see each other today are for the sake of Lord Qi, right?" β
At this time, even Qi Rou knelt down and pleaded: "Please beg Niangniang to spare him this time for the sake of my uncle's unintentional mistakes." β
In a hurry, she couldn't help but speak more bluntly and lowered her identity.
Cui Keyin said: "Lord Qi is a great Confucian in the world, and he is iron-clad, and he doesn't want you to ask for anything like this." What's more, he didn't suffer much in prison. β
The edict prison is a famous place of death, and there has always been an entry and exit, but I am afraid that at this time Qi Nai is too dead to die. Weng Shi cried bitterly: "Niangniang, you and I are world friends. I beg Niangniang to save my grandson for the sake of the two family friends. He was in prison because of his mother. β
Why doesn't that sound so bad? Cui Keyin frowned and said: "Madame's words are bad, this is a business matter, and the emperor has his own ideas." I'm a queen/palace woman, where can I intervene? If I talk a lot, I'm afraid that those imperial histories will impeach me for interfering in politics. β
Qi Rou thought about it, but no. Thinking of the impeachment of the imperial history but only by the court staff, when he returned to his hometown, he said that because he had scolded the queen, he could take it out to show off. Qi Nai was sent to prison because of the impeachment of Cui Keyin. Compared with the two, she felt unfair and sad, and then she cried after Weng's trick.
Cui Keyin sighed: "Arou, you should persuade your aunt." Why did you cry too? Uncle Ling is a great Confucian in the world, how could the emperor harm his life? Then go back and wait for the letter, and I will ask the emperor to allow you to visit him. β
Weng was overjoyed, with two strings of tears on his face, kowtowed, and said, "Thank you for your great kindness." β
When he entered the edict, he was isolated from the world, and his family never went in to visit. Cui Keyin allowed them to visit inside, presumably Qi Nai's life is still there, teach them how not to like it?
Cui Keyin said: "There is just one thing, you must promise me." β
He whispered a few words in Weng's ear.
Weng Shi thought of the mysterious person who gave her ideas, and her heart sank, and she understood a little, and she settled down, nodded again and again, and said, "Xie Niangniang reminds." The grandson was careless, deceived by the adulterer, and even fell into prison, but fortunately, the mother had a large number of people and did not care. The courtiers will do as they are told. β
Cui Keyin saw that she was an understanding person, and said, "You share the benefits and disadvantages with Lord Qi." β
Weng responded, kowtowed three times, and said goodbye to Qi Rou and left the palace.
After getting into the carriage, Qi Rou suddenly said: "Auntie, have you noticed, Niangniang still calls you and me the old way." β
Alignment, how could it be? Weng Shi sighed and said, "We all blamed her, but we didn't expect her to be a cold-faced and hot-hearted person." β
I knew why I had to take so many detours? The two talked all the way, and after returning home, they returned to the nursery's henchmen and servants according to Cui Keyin's words.
Two days later, a chamberlain quietly led them to the Imperial Prison and met Zinai. Only the clothes on his body were dirty, and since he went to prison, not only did he not receive punishment, but he also had two dishes of vegetables and a large bowl of white rice for three meals a day. Weng thought that he had been frightened all these days, and hugged him and cried loudly. (To be continued.) )
