Chapter 385: The Line Between Life and Death
Bao Puyuan Qi Yu personally welcomed Baotai to the study, the two sat down separately, and the little girl brought fragrant tea and snacks, and then retreated to the side to serve.
Bao Tai took a sip of tea, nodded, looked around a little, and saw that there were two words that seemed to be Qi You's handwriting, so he stood up and walked to him to take a closer look.
"It seems that you have lived well in this idle life." Bao Tai looked at it and laughed.
"Your Excellency smiled." Qi Yu said, "It's very rough, but it's just to nourish temperament." ”
Bao Tai shook his head, "It's already quite a bit of charm, if you are willing to continue to work hard, you can't become everyone, but you are also top-notch in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs." ”
The two of them laughed and sat down again.
"Adults are busy with official business, and now they are here, and they are shining." Qi Yu said.
"I have thought about it a long time ago, ......, when you come back from Pingxi Town, I will recommend it to the emperor, and the emperor also plans to retransfer you back to his side, but ......" Bao Tai's hand tapped lightly on the table, as if he had no intention, but did not continue the topic, "But now it seems that it is okay." ”
Baotai's words seemed to have a deep meaning, and Qi Yu cautiously did not express his position.
"I heard that you had a son, but I haven't congratulated you yet." Bao Tai said, waving his hand to the little guy who followed. The little guy brought a few things, a unicorn longevity golden lock, a red gold collar, a small bow, a set of four treasures of the study, and twenty pen ingots Ruyi small gold ingots.
"This is a greeting gift with the little boy." Bao Tai Road.
Qi Yu hurriedly thanked the people and put the gift away.
"It is said that the little boy was born with a miracle horse, I wonder if you can let me see it?" Bao Tai asked with a smile.
"This ......" Qi Yu hesitated.
Baotai has been able to be by the emperor's side for so many years, and he is naturally the most transparent person. Ju'er is not out of confinement yet, so she can't just take it out to show others. But Baotai used to be Qi You's boss, and he also had the grace of Qi You's support, and now he says so.
"If it's inconvenient, forget it." Bao Tai smiled.
The people who worked on errands beside the emperor had become accustomed to having a mind that was full of twists and turns.
"Ju'er is still young, if others don't come to see her, but adults are different." Qi You said, then turned his head and instructed the little girl who was waiting, "You go to grandma's place and bring Brother Jue here." ”
Xun Qing dyed in the warm pavilion, listened to the girl's report, and carefully wrapped the girl, handed it to the nurse to hug, and asked Mama Xu to follow.
"Be careful. Let him take a look at it, and then take it back. Xun Qingran commanded.
"Grandma rest assured." Mama Xu and the nurse replied.
Mama Xu and the nurse took Juan'er to the study, and Juan'er was still sleeping in her swaddling clothes. Qi Yu took Jue'er over and hugged her to Baotai. Bao Tai stood up and took a closer look.
"What a handsome young man, he is really the same as you." Bao Tai smiled, and was about to come to hug Yu'er.
It's okay to show Baotai, but if you want to hug him, Qi You is still not at ease. This son is very much with Xun Qing, who knows if Baotai will hold the child.
Bao Tai saw that Qi Yu did not let go, nor did he force it.
"Listen to the order," Bao Tai suddenly said.
Qi You's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly handed Jue'er into the nurse's arms, knelt down and said, "Ministers Qi You take the order." ”
"The emperor said, I heard that you have a son, let me carry you into the palace to see you." Bao Tai Road.
Qi You's body stiffened slightly, "The emperor has an order, but this child is still young, and the minister Qi You is willing to enter the palace......"
"What the emperor wants to see is the little boy." Bao Tai still smiled.
Qi You knew that this was incommensurate, so he had to say, "The minister Qi You obeys the order." ”
"What?" In the warm pavilion, Xun Qingran's eyes widened in surprise, "Went into the palace with Yu'er?" ”
"Yes, grandma." Baozhu replied, "The fourth master also followed, as well as the nurse and Mama Xu." ”
"What does the emperor want to see Jue'er?" Xun Qingran frowned.
This is a hundred officials in the court, but I am afraid that children will be born every day, Qi You is just idle at home now, and Jue'er has not yet been out of confinement.
"What did the fourth master say?" Xun Qingran asked.
"The fourth master said to let grandma rest assured, they will go back as soon as they go." Baozhu said, "When Lord Baotai came, he prepared a warm sedan chair, and the nurse and Xu Mama made a warm sedan chair as soon as they went out with Jue'er, and it was cold. ”
Baozhu thought that Xun Qingran was worried about the cold, so he hurriedly explained.
"I see." Xun Qing said.
Xun Qingran sat there, faintly uneasy in her heart.
Qi You came back from Pingxi Town, even if there was a virtuous concubine blowing the wind on the pillow, if the emperor really cared about Qi You, he would not have abandoned it all the time. Later, there was an impeachment of Qi You, and the emperor supported Qi You, but that was originally Qi You did a good job and had already passed the anger with the emperor. There were also a series of things, such as the matter of the concubine and the matter of Ning Xin, they were forced to move out of the Qi Mansion. Even if this is a matter of the Qi family, if the emperor wants to take care of it, he can solve it without directly intervening, but the emperor has not moved at all. This time the Qi Mansion was in a big disaster, and they were not implicated. Now that the Qi Mansion has also been pardoned, it stands to reason that there is no reason to anger them.
But I sent someone to carry Yu'er into the palace, how strange is this matter. And Qi You's reaction in the past few days......
The more Xun Qingran thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, she couldn't say the source of the uneasiness, but a woman's sixth sense made her feel like pins and needles.
"Grandma," Baozhu saw Xun Qingran's thoughts, and called softly.
“…… We just made those dim sum and it was delicious. You, Jin Ling and Aster each take some and send some to Prince Yongyi's mansion, Kangjun Wang's mansion, Yonghe County's mansion, and uncle. Xun Qingran commanded.
"The servant understands."
Baozhu will understand and be busy arranging.

Qi Mansion Raising Year's Hall
"Master, don't fight, sir, if you fight again, it will be broken." The eldest lady hugged Master Qi and cried and begged.
The maids and maids on the left and right also pleaded in unison.
Master Qi was already angry with red eyes, broke away from the eldest wife, and hit the third master Qi Jian who was tied to the spring bench with the board.
"I'll kill him, I'd rather go and follow him than let this wolf-hearted thing get his way."
"Master, my son is wronged, not my son." Qi Jian struggled, and the robe from the waist down was already wet with blood, "It's the Cai family who wants to sue themselves, and my son doesn't know anything." They resented the second sister-in-law for making a trap and divorced their daughter, and the second brother colluded with the yamen and almost took the life of the Cai family's uncle, so they took revenge, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
"Be smart, you still want to hide from me with that little trick." The eldest master was tired, so he stopped and gasped, "It's not for you to discuss, take advantage of this time to fall into the well and kill your second brother, and this family will fall into your hands in the future." ”
Qi Jian only shouted that he was wronged, but the eldest man hated it very much, picked up the board and knocked on Qi Jian's back a few times. Qi Jian's voice gradually weakened.
"Master, this is really going to kill someone. No matter what, the third master is also the flesh and blood of the master. ”
The eldest lord saw that Qi Jian was angry and inlet less, and he was indeed tired, so he threw the board away, but he started a fire on the eldest lady again.
"I ask you, how much do you know about this?"
"Master, there are few people in the family who can take care of things, and the concubine is dedicated to handling the old lady's funeral, where do you know about the outside world."
The old man seemed to be a little unconvinced.
"You have always indulged him, then the Cai family is your own family, the second and daughter-in-law are not close to you, it is difficult to guarantee that you have no other thoughts."
The eldest lady's face changed, and she fell to her knees.
"Master, no matter how confused the concubine is, she will not do such a thing. The lord didn't believe it, so the concubine swore a poisonous oath......"
The eldest lord shot too hard in anger, looked at Qi Jian who was lying there and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and saw that the eldest lady had lost weight in the past few days, kneeling there, and the white hair had been seen on the sideburns, and he didn't feel disheartened.
"That's it, that's it." The old man sat down in his chair in a daze.

Imperial Palace Cining Palace
Emperor Zhengde and Empress Dowager Cihui sat opposite each other on a low couch, with a thick brocade futon piled up between them, and a fat doll carved in pink and jade was lying on it at the moment. The little fat baby is awake now, but she didn't cry, just kicked the little fat legs, two pink little fists half-stuffed in her mouth, and a pair of big black eyes were dripping. This little baby is long and round, with a pink bun face, and a little rouge between the eyebrows, which is even more beautiful and cute.
Emperor Zhengde looked at it for a long time, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to scratch the little fat baby's chubby feet. The little fat baby kicked Emperor Zhengde's hand away.
"The little guy is so energetic." Zhengde Emperor.
Empress Dowager Cihui's eyes stared at the little fat baby's face without blinking.
"That's right. At that time, a few days after your seventh brother was born, it was like this. The Empress Dowager Cihui finally spoke, with a faint sadness in her tone, "It's just not as fat as him." ”
Emperor Zhengde leaned over and hugged Jue'er, "It's a bit pressing, it's really a fat boy." ”
Jue'er seemed to be a little uncomfortable being hugged, and began to spit and bubble at Emperor Zhengde.
"Your Majesty, but there is a decision." The Empress Dowager Cihui looked at Emperor Zhengde and said.
Emperor Zhengde didn't seem to hear the Empress Dowager Cihui speak, and when he saw that Jue'er seemed to be a little impatient, he actually shook Ju'er in his arms. Jue'er seemed to like this very much, and no longer spit bubbles at him, but opened her small mouth and snuggled up, her dark eyes swirling around on the eastern pearl inlaid on the golden crown on Emperor Zhengde's head.
"I haven't heard a baby crying in the palace for many years." Seeing Emperor Zhengde like this, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "This child is so pleasing, let's stay for a few more days." ”
Emperor Zhengde nodded again and again.
…………
The inside of the imperial study was quiet, and there were only two little eunuchs standing at the door.
Qi You walked out of it and happened to see a familiar little eunuch coming over.
"Please report to your father-in-law, and I want to see Your Majesty." Qi Yu said.
"Lord Qi, don't worry," the little eunuch said, "Long live Lord is just afraid that there is no time now." …… The slave maid came from the Queen Mother's Palace, and the Long Live Lord and the Queen Mother liked the little boy very much, and said that they would stay in the palace for a few more days. ”
The little eunuch had other errands, and after saying that, he hurried away.
"Calm down, adults." The little eunuch at the door said softly, "It's cold outside, so please wait in the house." ”
Qi Yu nodded calmly, still going back to the imperial study to wait. He and Baotai carried Jue'er into the palace, but the emperor didn't see him, and only asked Baotai to carry Jue'er into Cining Palace. He has been waiting here for nearly two hours now, and the emperor has not summoned him, and there is no will.
Qi You stood in the empty imperial study and subconsciously touched his sleeve. The hard section of the sleeve is the fish intestine sword given by Emperor Zhengde.
He had this fish intestine sword in his own right, and it almost didn't come in handy.
The Qi family is guilty of bullying the king, and the emperor is about to eradicate the Qi family with the momentum of wind and thunder. But when the Rong family entered the palace, the wind and thunder were suddenly extinguished. He knew that the Rong family was decent in front of the emperor and the queen mother, but he never had such influence.
When Rong was dying, he told him that he was not the flesh and blood of the Qi family. Rong's guilt before his death, he can't turn a blind eye after death, and there is such a huge amount of property that is obviously not something that Rong's may have.
As Xun Qingran said, the past is not as important as the present. But if those things affect the fate of their family, it is a different matter.
These days, he is not idle. He has been secretly investigating in the past few days, and more than 20 years ago, before he was born, there were major events in the court.
During that time, the first emperor was in power, the national foundation was unstable, the battle for the storage position was surging, and the court was even more bloody and bloody. When you go out in the morning, you are still a very human minister, and when you go home at night, you may become a commoner, or even have a different head, and your family is scattered.
The year he was born happened to be the death of the grandfather of the old country. The descendants of the Qi family are all filial piety at home, and the Rong family strictly restricts the children of the clan, so they can protect the Qi Mansion. Other families were not so lucky, including the princes and grandchildren.
Several major events happened that year, and several large clans were wiped out.
Rong left too few clues for him to be sure. But there is no doubt that there is something wrong with his background.
Now the emperor has let him carry Yu'er into the palace, but he doesn't see him, what does it mean.
The Rong family only told him that he was not a descendant of the Qi Mansion, but did not explain his origin clearly. With the emperor's wisdom, it must be clear. If his presence is not tolerated, then ......
Qi You retracted his hand into his sleeve and grasped the fish intestine sword. The ancient famous sword is really extraordinary, even if it has been held in the sleeve, it has not been contaminated with a trace of warmth, it is still so cold and pressing, cold and piercing.
Rong is old and sophisticated, and the anxiety and guilt she felt before she died was that she thought that there would be today. Qi You's heart seemed to be contaminated with a hint of coolness by that sword qi.
He had promised not to resent and made Rong close his eyes.
It's just that there are Xun Qingran, Xuan'er and Xuan'er.
Qi You closed his eyes.
Xun Qingran is just the concubine of the Xun family, and she doesn't know about these secrets, and Jue'er and Xuan'er are just ignorant children.
If he wasn't there, they would be able to live well. Xun Junhui will definitely take good care of them, as well as Adan and Aze. Xun Qingran's mother and son will live well under the protection of these people.
Unwilling, very unwilling, but for the sake of his wife and children, he has no choice.
It's just that before he came out, he didn't have time to look at Xun Qingran again, and he didn't have time to say a word to her again.
Qi You looked at the big bell in the corner, and gently took the fish intestine sword out of his sleeve and held it in his hand.
