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

Qi Mingze stayed with the prince in the East Palace for a few days and gave him several psychological hints, and the effect was indeed very significant.

The prince returned to his original mature and steady self, but when no one was around he would unconsciously stick to Qi Mingze.

There are only some minor aftereffects left, which can only be gradually faded away by time.

In the past few days, Jun Linyuan has come to visit the prince very frequently, and he is very caring towards Qi Mingze.

According to Qi Mingze's observation, His Majesty did not seem to blame him for the prince's fall into the water.

【Isn't it good that you are not suspected of this matter? 】

The system was puzzled. Human beings have so many twists and turns that it felt it might take tens of thousands of years to figure it out.

It is also because of this that the system believes that it is not an omniscient and omnipotent artificial intelligence.

Instead, it is like a little child beside the host, pointing at the host to answer its questions.

It’s so embarrassing!

[Given Your Majesty's character, there are only two possibilities for not suspecting me.

Either he found out the real mastermind or someone took the blame.

Or maybe he disguised himself so well that even I couldn't see through him.

As for why I disguised myself, it was probably because I felt that I didn't have the ability to do it without anyone noticing.

He wants to confuse me first, and then use me to hook the big fish behind him.

Qi Mingze analyzed according to logical reasoning, and the system nodded continuously, wishing that the little notebook would come out and record it word for word.

【…】

This one is a leader, one teaches patiently, the other listens attentively, they talk back and forth and have a lot of fun.

But Jun Linyuan's mood was not so good.

As he listened to these words, his veins bulged out of his chest, and he really wanted to expose himself under a pseudonym to prove that he had never intended to doubt him at all.

This analysis is very accurate and indeed fits his personality.

He had never known before that someone could study human hearts so thoroughly.

But really, stop analyzing it. Ever since he learned to read minds, I feel helpless every time I hear them discussing myself.

Because Mingze was pushing him and himself further and further into the enemy camp, which was not what he wanted at all.

Jun Linyuan felt that he had to speed up the process, otherwise this person would disappear from his side sooner or later.

On this side, Qi Mingze, who thought he was healthy, fell ill as soon as he returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Upon receiving the news, Jun Linyuan immediately sent an imperial physician, bestowed a reward for treating the prince, and specially approved him to rest for a few days.

As soon as he left the court, he came to visit wearing Yun Chengyuan's vest.

"Mingze, are you feeling better?" Jun Linyuan sat beside the bed and asked about his condition with concern.

"Thank you Chengyuan for your concern. I just caught a cold, nothing serious."

Qi Mingze wanted to sit up, but was held down by Jun Linyuan, so they could only talk through the quilt.

"Why should we bother with all this red tape between you and me?"

"You've been so busy with official duties these past few days, and you still took the time to come see me. I feel so ashamed."

"No way, we're even good friends, so it's only natural for me to come and see you if you're sick.

Furthermore, the Crown Prince's case has been basically investigated, and the remaining finishing work can be handled by my subordinates."

"Oh? I wonder who is so brave." Qi Mingze hesitated for a while between asking and not asking, but finally couldn't resist his curiosity.

"The remnants of the foreign king are causing trouble. After this thorough investigation, the nails in the palace have been mostly removed."

Jun Linyuan had come to reassure Mingze, so he told him the prepared speech directly.

"That's good."

Qi Mingze immediately breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was not involved in this matter.

Otherwise, I don’t know how many open and covert attacks I will have to deal with.

[Great, host! We've got a ready-made scapegoat. Finally, the blame won't fall on us.] The system was glad they had escaped.

[But...] Qi Mingze thought about it and still felt something was wrong, but he was having a fever and his mind was a little slow.

"No buts, would Yun Chengyuan lie to you? Everything has been taken care of, so just focus on recuperating."

The system was unusually resolute. Even at this moment, the host was still worried and anxious. He didn't want this body anymore, did he? It had to let him rest well.

[That's right.] Never mind, he'll think about it when his mind is clearer. Besides, he has more important things to do.

[Rest early and recover soon. Host, don't let them worry about you.]

[Okay.] Thinking of his mother and sister, Huo Le'an, Jun Linyuan, the Yan and Zhou families, and others who frequently came to visit, he could only suppress his worries and focus on recuperating.

Jun Linyuan secretly praised the system for its good performance.

Seeing that most of the information had been revealed, Qi Mingze looked a little tired, so he took the opportunity to say goodbye.

The emperor's reward and the personal visit of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard prompted the Marquis of Wuwei, who had received the report, to come here with all his dignity.

The system was very annoyed when it heard how good his family was to him, how much his father cared about him, and how he should respect his brother.

In the end, Yan Yingsu came and sent Qi Mingze away on the grounds that he needed to rest.

He also robbed most of the emperor's rewards.

[Host, I'm so angry. Marquis Wuwei is truly the most shameless person I've ever met.]

The system was watching the shameless behavior of Wuwei Hou and his companions in the space and was almost fuming with anger.

[It's okay, they're just some personal belongings. Besides, the more excessive Marquis Wuwei is, the easier it will be to separate them later.]

Qi Mingze didn't think it was a big deal, as money was just external things.

It's worthwhile to use something he doesn't need in exchange for staying out of it.

【Then let's publicize his shameless behavior. 】

[Okay, I'll have Qi Yan pass a message to Xue Yi later.]

[He must be exposed.]

The system was not convinced. He stole things so blatantly, thinking that the host was still the same Qi Mingze.

[The grasshoppers in autumn can only jump for a few more days.]

General Xie's incident made him realize that the emperor should take action against the Wu family.
