Chapter 352: Release from the Palace
Qi Rui hesitated for a long time at the door of the imperial study, neither advancing nor retreating, not knowing how to speak to the saint.
Just when he hesitated, the eunuch at the door saw his arrival and told the chief eunuch Xiao Zhuozi about the situation.
Xiao Zhuozi was clear in his heart, the emperor did not mean to embarrass everyone in the Qi family, so he thought about it in his heart, and then whispered to the saint about the situation outside the door.
"Holy Lord, Lord Qi is at the door of the imperial study, do you want to see him?"
Qi Rui, he came at the right time, didn't he see him just to Qi Mei? This kid is also a restless lord, and the saint instantly felt a headache, so he just used him to do something.
"Let him in."
Xiao Zhuozi took the order and retreated, looking at Qi Rui, "Lord Qi, the Holy Lord invites you to come in." ”
The saint was actually willing to see him, and he bothered to ask the saint to open up the net, because his mother was turned away from seeing a serious illness because of this matter, he thought that he would be treated like this, and he didn't want to fight the saint or estimate the friendship between him and him.
Qi Rui didn't beat around the bush, and directly said the purpose of this trip, "Shengshang, please look at the minister's feelings, open the net to Qi Mei, Qi Mei She will never do anything to kill other people's lives." ”
plopped, Qi Rui knelt directly in front of the saint, the sound of his knees hitting the ground was very loud, and the saint felt pain for him, but the play still had to be performed.
"For your sake? Qi Rui, if it weren't for your face, Qi Mei would have died many times, and you decided that she would not kill Wu Qianqian, and now everyone thinks that it is Qi Mei, and everything is about evidence, not the time to act rashly. ”
The saint questioned Qi Rui, and the questioning made Qi Rui bury his head in his knees.
But Qi Rui let it go this time, "Holy Lord, if you don't open the net and let Qi Mei go, it's okay for me to be the right imperial history." ”
Hearing this, the saint's face suddenly became ugly, "Qi Rui, what you know I hate the most is the threat of others, since you don't want to be the right imperial history, I will fulfill you." ”
Qi Rui never thought that he was so threatened, and the saint was unmoved, and he really wanted to punish himself, and looked at the saint with a pale face.
"Pass on my message, from now on, step down from the post of Qi Rui's right imperial history, and stay at home to reflect on it for three months."
The saint is telling the world like this that Qi Rui is willing to give up his official position for the sake of his sister.
"Minister, obey the order." Qi Rui was still unwilling to ask again, "Holy Lord, what about my sister......"
"You still have the courage to ask me, it's just that, I have found out Qi Mei's charges, let her follow you back to Qi's house."
No one dared to provoke the furious saints, but Qi Rui, a kid, dared to touch the tiger's whiskers again and again, originally he was going to find an opportunity to release Qi Mei, but the people behind this time must have thought that they were out of their hearts, and they would use this matter to make an obstacle and sow discord.
Qi Rui suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked again in disbelief, "Holy Lord, what you said is true?" ”
"I, can I still be a fake? It's just that Qi Mei stepped out of the palace and wanted to enter again, but it was not so easy. ”
Qi Rui naturally understands that if you get something, you will lose something, and these are not as important as her sister's life.
Qi Rui, who received the order, hurried to Dali Temple to pick up Qi Mei for fear that she would stay in the prison for a minute and a half more, and then suffer again, that dirty prison was not the place where Qi Mei should stay at all.
The sound of chains sliding pulled Qi Mei's thoughts back, and she was like a lifeless puppet with empty eyes.
When Qi Rui saw such Qi Mei, his heart throbbed badly, a hundred times more painful than losing his official position, it was he who came late.
Qi Mei glanced outside the prison, and when he recognized the person who came, his eyes finally moved, "Brother, why are you back here?" Am I the one who is causing you? ”
A slightly hoarse voice came into Qi Rui's ears, and he wrapped himself in distress and self-blame, and pulled his stupid sister into his arms, "Sister, it's my brother who is late, and I have caused you to suffer so much, I will take you home." ”
Take her home? Since entering the palace, she thought that she no longer had a home, and as a concubine in the palace, she had to keep a distance from her former ministers, and it was not easy to see her brother, let alone her father and mother.
After a while, Qi Rui felt that his clothes were wet, he was wet with Qi Mei's tears, and the grievances in his heart no longer had to be suppressed at this time, and all the tears could not be stopped.
Qi Rui didn't know what to do, so he gently patted Qi Mei's back and let her cry, and after a long time, Qi Mei felt that her legs were a little numb, so she let go of Qi Rui.
"Brother, am I ugly like this, my mother will definitely be worried when I go home."
Qi Rui smiled, raised his hand to wipe away Qi Mei's tears, "If you have grievances, cry out, crying is good, besides, you will always be your mother's daughter, she hasn't seen you crying, it's good that you stand in front of her." ”
Qi Rui's comfort worked, Qi Mei was not so desperate, she didn't know that Qi Rui had lost his official position in order to save her.
When the two returned home, Mrs. Qi, who was already anxious, waited at the door for a long time, and she heard that she had lost her official position in order to save Qi Rui.
Now there are rumors throughout the capital that Qi Rui gave up his official position for his sister.
Mrs. Qi looked at the two of them appearing in front of her together, forcibly held back not to cry, and took Qi Mei's hand, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”
Qi Mei saw that his mother's expression was wrong, shouldn't he be happy to come back? Mother didn't seem to cry with joy, there must be something in this that she didn't know.
Only then did I remember how my brother saved himself, and did the saint find out the truth of the matter? Why did she go home instead of staying in the palace?
"Brother, are you hiding something from me?" Qi Mei was a little scared, afraid that things would turn out as she thought.
Qi Rui didn't intend to hide Qi Mei, and pretended to answer easily: "It's that the Holy Lord relieved me of my duties and let me be idle for three months, which is just right, I can accompany you and my mother at home." ”
What the? My brother lost his official position for her!
"Brother, it's me who has affected you and the Qi family."
When Mrs. Qi heard this, she didn't care about her face, her hand holding Qi Mei trembled slightly, and tears fell directly, "This, what kind of evil has you created." ”
Qi Rui hurriedly comforted the two, "Mother, sister, what are you doing here?" Wouldn't it be nice for us to be together as a family? Besides, the Holy One will definitely return our Qi family to a clean slate, and your tears are not what I want to see. ”
Despite this, Qi Mei was depressed at home all day long, and Mrs. Qi washed her face with tears all day long, Qi Rui had to visit the two of them every day, comfort them, chat with them, scatter their hearts, and really take on the responsibility of a man.
