After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

Qi Mingze leaned on Jun Linyuan's shoulder and soon fell asleep. His brain had been working rapidly all day.

Designing the layout, dealing with the emperor, and comforting his lover all consumed his energy, so even without exercising, he was mentally exhausted.

'Jun Linyuan' kept staring at Xiao Che's sleeping face without blinking, and almost fell asleep several times, but suddenly woke up.

Then he touched the person beside him and closed his eyes again. For a whole hour, he was on the verge of falling asleep.

Until Qi Mingze's presence was confirmed once again, the sleeping person opened his eyes slightly hazily and muttered something in a daze.

Jun Linyuan didn't hear clearly, so he leaned over and asked, "Xiao Che, what's wrong?"

He put the tip of his ear close to the slightly parted red lips and finally heard the vague words.

"No, leave, hurry up, go to sleep..."

In an instant, his blood began to boil uncontrollably.

But looking at Xiao Che who was immersed in a beautiful dream, he could only calm himself down.

After a moment, he held Qi Mingze tightly in his arms and whispered softly, "Okay, Xiao Che, go to sleep too."

The warm breath of his lover blew against his ears, as if a warm current flowed into his heart.

His wandering heart was satisfied, and he instantly calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.

Qi Mingze was woken up by the heat. Logically speaking, even in late summer nights, it should be cool and light.

In the past, when he slept alone, he still needed to cover himself with a silk quilt, but what was wrong with him being sweaty all over?

It turned out that 'Jun Linyuan' was completely obsessed with her, like a dragon guarding a treasure, holding the treasure in his arms and protecting it tightly.

The bedrooms in the Yun Mansion are all carefully designed by masters, and are warm in winter and cool in summer.

In addition, there would be an ice basin every night, so they wouldn't feel hot just hugging each other like this.

But where is this, the prison of Taishige.

Even after being arranged and cleaned up, the environment is naturally far from what it used to be.

He looked at the system clock in the space and found that it was almost time for Jin Rong to get up, so he didn't make any noise and let him be imprisoned like this.

But after Jun Linyuan stood up, just as Qi Mingze was about to ask the guards to help him get a basin of cold water to wipe his body, he returned to the cell.

He picked up Qi Mingze and brought him to his office.

At this time, a large bathtub was filled with warm water.

In order not to implicate his subordinates, Xiao Che did not give them any special treatment and only had a simple wash last night.

He made me sweat all over again today, and I might catch a cold.

So he asked the Wuyi Guards to prepare hot water and gave him a bath without asking for permission.

Anyway, he is already an expert at this, and he will make sure that Xiao Che won't notice it after he finishes washing.

Qi Mingze was originally afraid that Jinrong would be embarrassed, and he also wanted to see what Jinrong was going to do.

Who would have thought... that he would be the one who was embarrassed now.

He is now in a complete dilemma. It is not right to wake up, and it is not right not to wake up.

Forget it, let it be, but he still silently brought forward his plan.

Due to time constraints, Jun Linyuan didn't do anything. After he left, Qi Mingze couldn't sleep at all.

Fortunately, Jun Linyuan knew that his plan needed someone to watch over it, so he asked An Yi to guard outside the door.

"An Yi, have someone take a message to Qi Wei for me, asking him to reveal the secret compartment in Marquis Wuwei's study to Qi Mingyao."

"Yes." An Yi sent the servant to call An Lu.

After Yan Yingsu arrived at the Yan family safely, An Wu asked An Lu to come over.

He had been ordered by His Majesty not to leave Lord Qi's side, so he had to trouble Anlu to do this. Anyway, he was familiar with the Wuwei Marquis' Mansion.

At this time, in a hidden corner of Taishi Pavilion, several people were having a secret conversation.

"Everyone, now that Qi Mingze has been convicted and imprisoned, the Taishi Pavilion is leaderless. This is a good opportunity for us."

Jiang Chenxi kept inciting the crowd, trying to arouse their desire for power and seize the opportunity to seize power with him.

"Brother Jiang is right. We were all sent here by His Majesty to gain experience. Why should Qi Mingze take the main position?

Now Qi Mingze has the final say in the entire Taishi Pavilion, and among the Jinshi scholars of the same period, only a few of us are still holding on.

If we don’t take action, we will be wiped out.”

This secret talk was initiated by Le Qingfeng and Jiang Chenxi, so one of them played the good cop and the other the bad cop.

After some incitement, he successfully aroused the little fighting spirit among the people.

The Taishi Pavilion is now developing in full swing, and it is only a matter of time before it surpasses the Northern Pacification Office.

With a wealth of talented people and clear division of labor, all matters were carried out in an orderly manner and several major cases were solved.

He is deeply trusted by His Majesty, and countless people want to take advantage of him.

As long as the successor can firmly control those subordinates, he can replace him and become your Majesty's right-hand man.

Everyone couldn't help but feel envious as they imagined the scene of being granted a title of nobility or appointed as prime minister in the future.

As newly-minted scholars with "lofty ambitions", who among them does not want to achieve great things and build a good reputation?

But without connections, background, resources, or experience, and only with great ambitions, one can only become one of the common people.

They stayed here, to put it nicely, to hold on, but in reality there was simply no other place to take them in.

Qi Mingze had no choice but to give face to the big boss for these people, so he left them in idle positions and let them survive until now.

"If you want to seize power, don't take me with you. I'm going to continue to handle official business."

Pei Xiangzhi looked at these people who were arrogant but incompetent and were still complacent. He felt bored instantly and left.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to move up, it’s just that these people are too lame.

Regardless of whether he can accomplish anything, he is extremely good at adapting to changing circumstances and currying favor with others.

How shameless they must be to design Qi Mingze with them!

Qi Mingze was rumored to be mediocre and incompetent, and was only a nominal head of the Taishi Pavilion.

But only those within the Taishi Pavilion knew his abilities and how he controlled people.

How high is his status in everyone's heart?

It can be said that many people admire him so much that as long as he gives an order, they will release him even if he disobeys the emperor's order.

Not to mention, Commander Yun, who controls the Wuyi Guard, is his closest confidant.

If you want to take Qi Mingze's position, you have to ask the sword in his hand whether it agrees.

Pei Xiangzhi shook his head. He must have eaten too much to get involved in such a stupid conspiracy.

Of course, he would not report these people's behavior.

As the top scorer in the same class, Qi Mingze, the third place scorer, was superior to him in every way. How could he have no complaints in his heart?

Although he had obtained a position with considerable power, he felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about Qi Mingze's current achievements and his status in His Majesty's eyes.

This should all be his!

"Tsk, what's the point of being so aloof? He's a top scholar, but he's not even as good as the third place. Now he doesn't even dare to fight for the position of the leader."

"That's right, I've been fed up with him for a long time."

"He only got to this position thanks to Qi Mingze. Brother Jiang, Brother Le, you shouldn't have brought him here."

"..."

Several people started to criticize Pei Xiangzhi. Seeing that the topic was going off track, Jiang Chenxi immediately took control of the situation.

"Everyone, I will greet Brother Pei later and ask him not to tell anyone about this. Let's continue with the previous discussion."

In a place they didn't notice, an inconspicuous and elegant man lowered his eyes slightly.

A debate about Taishige's future began. Each of them felt that he was the most capable person to take the position, and they refused to give in.

In the end, it was Le Qingfeng who smoothed things over and finally decided on a plan with Jiang Chenxi as the lead and the rest relying on their own abilities.
