When Xue Qi returned home, Qin Yuli was anxiously waiting in the front hall. If it weren't for Steward Xu also helping to arrange the transportation of things, I am afraid that it would be a mess at this time.

When Qin Yuli saw Xue Qi coming back, she hurriedly rushed up, grabbed Xue Qi's sleeve, and asked in a panic, "Have you seen the prince?" Can the prince promise to help? ”

Xue Qi knew that Qin Yuli was too flustered, so he didn't pay attention to the etiquette, patted the hand holding his sleeve comfortingly, and said softly: "Li'er, don't panic, the husband has met the prince, tomorrow the prince will meet the saint with the husband, and Yan'er will be fine." ”

When Qin Yuli heard this, her heart was a little more steady. Thinking about the panicked look he had just now, he really didn't have the slightest bit of a master's mother. I saw that she embarrassedly let go of Xue Qi's sleeve and stroked her hair calmly.

After so many years as a husband and wife, how could Xue Qi not be able to read Qin Yuli's small movements? Naturally, he knew that his Li'er was shy, so he stopped joking, and only said: "Rest early today, and there will be a certain number of things tomorrow." ”

Qin Yuli nodded and returned to his usual demeanor, but both of them knew that their geese had not returned for a day, and their hearts could not be calm for a moment.

The next day, before dawn, Xue Qi got up early.

Qin Yuli also didn't sleep all night, and when she saw Xue Qi get up, she didn't mean to lie down anymore, so she got up and put on Xue Qi's court clothes and crown.

There is still an hour before the time of the previous dynasty, and Xue Qi is already anxious at this time, eager for time to pass faster. The couple just sat in the house, waiting for the time to pass little by little.

Finally, it was time to set off, and Xue Qi felt extremely heavy with every step he took, and Qin Yuli was the same. The two stood at the door of the mansion for a long time and did not speak.

Xue Qi looked in the direction of entering the palace, nodded at Qin Yuli, and stepped into the carriage. The coachman whipped the horse, and the wheels of the cart kicked up some dust, and then it flew away.

Qin Yuli stood at the door for a long time, so long that the carriage had already disappeared from her sight, she didn't have any idea of going in, she would rather just stand at the door and wait, waiting for Xue Qi to come back with good news.

Above the court, although the Son of Heaven is old, his majesty is still there.

Emperor Xiaorui is the tenth prince of the first emperor, and his throne is also stepped on the bones of his brothers, so he keeps a blind eye to the struggle of the princes, as long as he does not overstep, he will not stop it.

After all, in Emperor Xiaorui's concept, those who can guard the mountains and rivers of the Qilin family must not be mediocre and incompetent.

Although he is over the age of sixteen, Emperor Xiaorui's eyes are still as sharp as an eagle, his voice is as loud as a waterfall, his orders are decisive, and his response is quick. Therefore, the hundreds of officials in the court were all respectful, and no one dared to make a mistake.

Although Qilinxi is said to be an idle prince, he still has to come occasionally in this early dynasty, not because of Emperor Xiaorui's request, but because of Ning Guifei's advice.

Therefore, the Qilin Xi of this meeting is very different from the usual Qilin Xi, put away the idleness, and also put away the Jianghu atmosphere, revealing the royal majesty all over his body, standing there with a strong backbone, listening carefully to the report of the hundred officials.

When Father-in-law Qian finally shouted the sentence "If there is something to do, there is nothing to do and retreat", Xue Qi's nervousness reached its peak in an instant.

After a short time, the hundred officials poured out of the door, and Xue Qi politely responded to those colleagues who tried to make friends with him, only patiently waiting for Qilin Xi to call him.

And Emperor Xiaorui is also staring at Qilin Xi at the moment, strange, his son runs fast every time he goes to court, why is he so abnormal today?

It's not just Emperor Xiaorui who is strange, but this father-in-law also thinks it's strange.

Gonggong Qian has followed Emperor Xiaorui since he was still a prince, and has experienced the seizure of the throne and the killing, until now, he can be regarded as an authentic old man in the palace of this Lingguo Kingdom.

Emperor Xiaorui's preference for Qilinxi is in his eyes, and he also knows the struggle between the queen and Ning Guifei, so today's unprecedented is really a rare encounter in a century.

"Xi'er, do you have something to tell your father?"

In the face of Qilin Xi, Emperor Xiaorui was still kind, and his natural tone was not as inviolable as when he treated hundreds of officials.

I saw Qilinxi kneeling on his knees and bowing to Emperor Xiaorui, and then he spoke: "The son has something important to tell his father." ”

"Oh?"

Emperor Xiaorui squinted at Qilin Xi, and then continued: "What is Xi'er going to say? ”

Emperor Xiaorui knows more or less about the matter between Qilin Xi and Qilin Yi, but he doesn't think that Qilin Xi is going to sue behind his back today, if Qilin Xi only has this ability, it will really be in vain to waste his preference.

Therefore, Emperor Xiaorui concluded that what Qilin Xi was going to say must be an important matter, so he sat on the throne and made a deferential appearance.

"Father, do you still remember the Xue County Order of Qujing City, Xue Qi?"

"Xue Qi?"

Emperor Xiaorui chewed the name repeatedly in his mouth, and recalled it in his mind like a flip book.

"On Concubine Ning's birthday, the birthday gift offered by the child was from Mrs. Xue County."

As soon as Qilin Xi said this, Emperor Xiaorui had a slight impression, as if he had approved the order and promoted him to the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"What? But what went wrong? ”

Qilin Xi saw that Emperor Xiaorui had already remembered who Xue Qi was, so he stopped detouring around the bend, and said directly: "When Xue Yushi entered Beijing, he met bandits on the path, but Yushi and his wife were fine, but Xue Yushi's daughter was robbed. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Xiaorui was a little annoyed, and said loudly: "My courtiers actually have the courage to rob, they really ate the gall of a leopard!" ”

"Father's anger is at ease."

Qilin Xi saw that Emperor Xiaorui was a little angry, and hurriedly said out loud.

"You go on."

Hearing this, Qi Linxi naturally continued: "Yesterday, Xue Yushi rushed to the capital overnight, because the palace gate was closed, so he came to the gate of Erchen's mansion to ask for a meeting. ”

Speaking of this, Qilinxi looked at Emperor Xiaorui and saw that he was not suspicious, so he continued: "Because Erchen once asked for embroidery, he still has some impressions of Xue Yushi, and it is precisely because of this that Xue Yushi dared to knock on the door of Erchen's mansion." ”

"Well, go ahead."

Emperor Xiaorui was noncommittal, and only let Qilin Xi go down.

"When Erchen saw Xue Yushi, Yushi was desperate, and begged Erchen to save his daughter's life, naturally this matter was in crisis, but it was midnight at the time, so Erchen could only press this in advance, and he could only tell his father today and ask his father to forgive him."

Speaking of this, Qilin Xi bowed again, waiting for Emperor Xiaorui to speak.

"What's Cier's sin? Hurry up. ”

Emperor Xiaorui still didn't say anything about this matter, and only picked up Qilin Xi's words and continued.

Qilin Xi didn't care, the people in power were suspicious, so naturally they wouldn't believe his words, so he stood up and bowed his hand to Emperor Xiaorui, and then said: "Xue Yushi is waiting outside the door at this time, why doesn't my father listen to Yushi himself and talk about this?" ”

Emperor Xiaorui was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said to Gonggong Qian: "Announce it." ”
