Save the villain and become the villain [Quick Wear]

When most of the first month of the lunar year had passed, Commander Fan finally learned the mastermind behind the incident from the assassin.

The emperor immediately became very motivated and started to attack the King of Qi and the King of Zheng.

Prince Zheng was stripped of his post as Minister of War, Prince Qi was stripped of his title, and the sons of the Wen family who were officials in the court were all demoted and given different fates.

When he really started to take action, the two kings discovered that he had unknowingly gained a lot of followers in the court. Although they were not in high positions, they were at least in important positions.

Some of them had pretended to accept their recruitment, or were simply fence-sitters like Yao Suian, which made them very angry.

The King of Qi originally planned to let the newly bribed deputy commander of the Imperial Guards kill Yao Suian, take control of the Imperial Guards, and directly force the emperor to abdicate. But now he dares not act rashly, fearing that this is another double agent.

Thinking of the worst case scenario, the King of Qi couldn't help but feel disheartened.

Even though he controlled the Northwestern Army, it would still take more than a month for the message to be sent out and the army to arrive, even if every city along the way was allowed to pass.

Now that he has lost control of the Imperial Guards, if the emperor really wants to kill him, all the Northwest Army can do is to help him get revenge.

If he died before the emperor, all his hard work over the years would have become a joke.

It was at this time that Fan Wushang recommended his adopted son Ji Chongyang to be an official. This surname and name really touched the nerves of the Three Kings' followers.

When the emperor made an exception and appointed him as the Minister of Revenue and granted him a mansion, which was the same mansion where the former Imperial Censor Ji Yuan lived, all kinds of assassination attempts were launched against "Ji Chongyang".

By the time Xiao Jinglu realized that something was wrong, it was already too late. At this point, all he could do was to ask the imperial guards to strengthen the protection of Ji's mansion.

The capital city has completely become a dangerous vortex. If you are in it, you may be torn to pieces at any time.

……

When winter passed and spring came, the Qingzhou disaster relief team returned. More than a month later, Xiao Jingchen, who everyone thought was dead, suddenly appeared.

Not only did he lose his memory, he also brought back a pretty woman.

During the period when Xiao Jingchen lost his memory and disappeared, he fell in love with the herbalist Banxia. They prayed to heaven and earth for each other, but after all, there was no matchmaker or engagement. So within two days of arriving in the capital, he ignored Rong Qingyan's ugly face and wanted to ask the emperor to grant him a marriage and make Banxia his princess.

Rong Qingyan had fallen in love with Xiao Jingchen unknowingly, otherwise she would not have put aside her ambitions and looked for him for so long.

She absolutely didn't want to see him with another woman, especially when Xiao Jingchen had lost his memory.

She stopped him and proposed a one-month agreement. If he still couldn't recover his memory after a month, or still wanted to marry Banxia after recovering his memory, she would break up with him.

This time, no matter how yin and yang Banxia was, Xiao Jingchen agreed.

Rong Qingyan took Xiao Jingchen back to the old place, trying to help him recover his memory. She also tried to ask Zishan for help with a large sum of money, but she couldn't even see him.

Banxia had already learned about their relationship from the servants of the Pluto's Palace. Naturally, she didn't want the man she had finally hooked up with to regain his memory. So she played the role of the pitiful little white flower and took advantage of Xiao Jingchen's current love for her to fight against Rong Qingyan.

Rong Qingyan believed in overcoming all odds with her own strength, and she had never lost. However, facing the disgust and hurtful words from her former lover, she was defeated step by step.

Qi Yang was only interested in Xiao Jingchen's condition, and had no interest in the love-hate relationship between them. He could guess what would happen next with his toes anyway.

He felt that love was a wonderful thing, which could turn the cold-hearted killer queen into such a weak person.

Fortunately, he doesn't.

If Xiao Jinglu dared to treat him like this for others, let alone whether he had amnesia or not, he would die first. This was not amnesia at all, but his brain was eaten by a dog.

He and Xiao Jinglu were discussing something when the latter suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He looked around vigilantly, but heard no unusual movement and the people around him did not react either. He thought it must be an illusion.

They planned to take advantage of Xiao Jingchen's love-mindedness and try to trick all the forces in his hands.

But Xiao Jingchen...

After losing his memory, he "returned to his original nature", but became even more worthless.

When there is nothing to do, “I only need Pinellia ternata”; when there is something to do, “I will let you take over.”

Xiao Jingchen was unfamiliar with the people and things in the capital. After being summoned, he brought Rong Qingyan into the palace.

After Xiao Jingchen agreed to this unequal treaty without hesitation, Rong Qingyan was completely disappointed in him.

The one-month deadline has not yet arrived, but it has ended early.

Xiao Jingchen happily left the imperial study with the imperial edict, not caring at all whether Rong Qingyan followed him or not.

The latter watched his figure quickly disappear with a bleak expression, a mixture of love and hate in his eyes, and in the end, only disappointment and murderous intent remained in his eyes.

She took a deep breath, turned around and bowed to Xiao Jinglu, saying, "If your majesty wants the power of Hades, instead of granting him and Banxia a marriage, you should marry me. Hades has been missing for nearly five months, and I am in charge of all the forces under him. As long as you marry me, I can convince them to submit to your majesty."

Xiao Jinglu almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He quickly glanced behind the screen and maintained his imperial dignity. He said in a deep voice: "You are the concubine of the King of Hell. I am the monarch. I will never do such a dirty thing as taking away the concubine of a minister."

"So please, Your Majesty, issue an order to give me my freedom."

Xiao Jinglu flatly refused.

Why would he get involved in Pluto's affairs? He even wanted to get himself involved. He was just dreaming.

Rong Qingyan thought that the chips were not enough, so she made up her mind and said through gritted teeth: "Since last year, a young man from the other shore has appeared among the people. Your Majesty, have you heard of him?"

Xiao Jinglu glanced sideways and did not respond.

"I am the Young Master Bi'an. In addition to making glass soap, ice and wine, I also know how to improve iron smelting furnaces, make cement, and refine refined salt," Rong Qingyan said with a confident look, "As long as you marry me as your queen, I can double the overall strength of the Qi army, and then unifying the continent will be just around the corner."

There was a flash of mockery in Xiao Jinglu's eyes, and he even wanted to laugh.

He had already known from Qi Yang about her relationship with Mr. Bi'an, but he had never cared about it. Unexpectedly, she would take the initiative to come to him.

Xiao Jinglu called the guards in and said coldly, "Catch her."

Rong Qingyan was surprised: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Jinglu had met her several times before and had heard about her from Qi Yang. He thought she was a smart person, but he didn't expect that she was still asking him why.

He looked away in annoyance and motioned for Jixiang to explain.

"Madam Yan, first, you violated the Great Qi Law. Salt and iron have always been state-run, and those who disobey the order will be executed. Second, you are rude in front of His Majesty, offending the Emperor, which is a crime of disrespect."

Rong Qingyan was stunned, remembering the excitement in Xiao Jingchen's eyes when she talked about salt and iron with him. It was as if a lump of ice was pressing on her heart, freezing her whole body stiff.

No, she couldn't be taken down like this.

Rong Qingyan's mind raced, and she said, "Your Majesty, even if I have violated the law, you cannot deny that my technology can benefit the country and the people. If I die, no one in this world will be able to make these things. I am the only one who knows the core technology."

Xiao Jinglu was unmoved: "Take it down."

After the guards escorted Rong Qingyan away, Qi Yang patted his wrinkled hem and walked out from behind the screen.

He looked a little strange, but smiled and asked, "Are you really not tempted by those things?"

When Jixiang saw him, he offered him a cup of black tea and then stepped aside, trying to reduce his presence.

Xiao Jinglu snorted, pulled him to sit down, and muttered: "I can make Da Qi prosperous even without these things."
