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

Qi Mingze felt that today was not going well. Yun Chengyuan had important matters to attend to and could not go with him. Before leaving, he met Wuwei Hou and Qi Mingrong.

Ever since he traveled through time, his three views as an atheist have been on the verge of collapse.

"Zer, are you going out?" Marquis Wuwei put on a rare friendly face.

"Father, brother." Qi Mingze greeted them. Seeing that it was still early, he stood there and quietly watched their performance.

"Well, I've seen you leaving early and coming back late lately, and I'm really worried. Is there something important you're busy with?"

Qi Mingrong also put aside his previous arrogant attitude and looked at Qi Mingze with a friendly smile, "Yes, third brother, if there is anything I can help you with!"

Qi Mingze remained silent, but the system exploded in his consciousness space. [Host, what are they doing? Seeing you become so successful, they come to curry favor with you?]

[Tsk, I'm afraid it's more than that. Maybe he's thinking of replacing me in the future.]

Being arrogant at first and respectful later must have great ambitions. Qi Mingze didn't think that these two people temporarily put aside the important matter of currying favor with the Wu family just to get a job.

[Shameless guy, he didn't even think of Qi Mingze for any benefit, but took advantage and ran away quickly! ]

"I heard that you are setting up the Taishi Pavilion and are in urgent need of manpower. What do you think of your two brothers?"

Logically speaking, at this time, someone who understands the situation should respond with compliments, then engage in some business flattery, and finally gladly accept the person he recommended.

But Qi Mingze didn't react at all.

Marquis Wuwei suddenly felt a little overwhelmed by his father's authority, but for the sake of his beloved eldest son, he had to continue persuading him.

"Brothers are indispensable in fighting tigers, and fathers and sons are needed in battle. Both of your brothers are outstanding people.

With their help, you can rest assured, right?"

"Third brother, I will do my best to assist you." Qi Mingrong confidently fantasized about taking over the position of Grand Historian.

If his worthless brother could win the emperor's favor, why should he support Wu Xirui, the powerless and useless legitimate son?

Just please the emperor directly, and then he can choose between the Wu family and the emperor.

Seeing that Qi Mingze remained silent, Marquis Wuwei began to help him analyze the future by using both emotion and reason.

"The Taishi Pavilion is now jointly established by you and Prime Minister Pei. If you can always keep pace with Prime Minister Pei, the position of Taishiling will surely be yours.

Pei Xiangzhi comes from a farming family and has no connections in the court. You have the entire Wuwei Marquisate as your backing, so why bother asking for help everywhere?

Your eldest brother now has some knowledgeable people following him. If you two brothers join forces, you have nothing to fear from others.

It will be more convenient and faster to do things in the future, and His Majesty will also look upon you with a different eye."

[I'm afraid that His Majesty will treat us like this and abandon us. Do you think we're stupid enough to let these people in and then sideline us?

Not only did he try to fool the host, he also tried to fool His Majesty. He really thought the Emperor was a vegetarian!]

"..."

【…】

The system was arguing with Marquis Wuwei from a distance, and even though Marquis Wuwei was completely unaware of it, he was still enjoying talking to himself.

Seeing that the system was really angry, Qi Mingze still felt sorry for his little cutie, so he was too lazy to watch the show and directly refused.

"Father, I'm afraid you've forgotten that His Majesty has the final say in the Taishi Pavilion, and I'm just a runner.

If subordinates make decisions for their masters, they are likely to be destroyed soon!

Instead of arguing with me here, father, he should go and ask the emperor to let my elder brother take my place.

It's getting late, and someone is waiting for me, so Mingze will take his leave first."

I don't want to say a word of nonsense to them, so I just bring up the emperor. Although it's a bit cheap to borrow the power of the tiger, it's useful.

This not only gets rid of the Marquis of Wuwei, but also makes them feel at ease and behave themselves for a while.

The Taishi Pavilion is in a state of disrepair and I really don't have time to play psychological games with them. When I have the time, I can just kill them directly.

After saying this, Qi Mingze left without looking back, leaving only Wuwei Hou and the other two behind him to curse his rebellious son.

On this side, Jun Linyuan had just discussed the matters of Mulan's autumn hunt with his ministers, and had not yet changed out of his dragon robe.

Huo Le'an rushed in, shouting.

"Cousin, this is bad! Someone is taking my little cousin to a brothel."

Jun Linyuan paused in changing his clothes, immediately took off his casual clothes, picked up the human skin mask and black tights from the secret compartment and quickly put them on.

His hands kept moving while he questioned Huo Le'an, "What's going on?"

"I don't know either. When I was having a party with Yu Zheng and the others, I asked why I didn't see Qian Shu.

They said Qianshu took his little cousin to a brothel.

I remembered your instructions and came straight to report to you."

Jun Linyuan thought about the fact that Shadow 2 would not be reported today, and he calmed down a little.

Ever since Ying Yi led his men from the dark to the light, Ying Er became the person who reported to him every day.

Ying Er didn't send any message, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

"Which brothel did they go to? When did they go there?"

"Uh, maybe, it seems to be that Huarong Pavilion."

Huo Le'an hesitated. He only heard that his little cousin went to the brothel, so he hurried over.

As for where he went, when he went, and why he went, who knows.

If it weren’t for my cousin repeatedly emphasizing that he shouldn’t take his younger cousin to meet people he shouldn’t meet or go to places he shouldn’t go.

He wouldn't react like a reflex and come to prove that he wasn't the one who led his little cousin astray the moment he heard any sign of trouble.

My little cousin is almost 18 years old now, and it’s time for him to understand the ways of the world. What’s so strange about him going to a brothel?

Jun Linyuan's veins popped out when he heard this. If this wasn't his cousin, he would have been punished countless times just for his unreliable behavior.

"Then what do you know?" Jun Linyuan finally couldn't suppress his anger and asked back.

"What do I want to know?" Huo Le'an was puzzled, feeling that his cousin was making a big deal out of nothing.

Forget it, don’t bother with him. The most important thing now is to find Mingze.

Jun Linyuan thought again that when they parted today, Mingze had asked him if he wanted to go together, but he refused when he received a request for an audience with a minister.

If he had known earlier, he should have gone with him.

Jun Linyuan actually didn't understand himself, but why was he so uneasy when his subject went to the brothel?

But now is not the time for him to think about it carefully. He should think about it after this matter is over.

"Ying San, send a message to Ying Er and ask him where Mingze has gone." Jun Linyuan ordered towards the beam on the left.

"Yes." A black shadow knelt on one knee and disappeared after receiving the order.

"Chu Dequan, prepare the horses."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chu Dequan took his little apprentice to prepare without hesitation.

Seeing that Jun Linyuan ignored him and was about to leave the palace, Huo Le'an immediately chased after him.

"Cousin, what are you doing?"

"Huo Le'an, I'll settle the score with you when you come back!" Jun Linyuan only left this sentence before leaving.

Huo Le'an was stunned. What did this have to do with him? Who had he offended?

Tang Hexi looked at His Majesty who left in a hurry and the Prince of Anguo who knew nothing about it, and shook his head slowly.

Your Majesty does not understand his own intentions, and the Crown Prince does not see the current situation clearly.

I'm afraid these two will clash over this sooner or later.
