The villain is far from my CP!

Outside the door, the girl's voice was very weak.

The corners of the young man's lips adjusted slightly, and he pretended to be surprised through the door: "Didn't Miss Bai ask for leave because she is unwell?"

Didn't he pretend to be sick to hide from him?What are you doing now?

Bai Qiao heard that the young man's words were not kind, so he helplessly raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows.

Cough, did she trust him?

He thought that it would be the same as countless times in the past, he wanted to go with her, even if she was not there, he would know what to do to be the best for the current situation, but who would have thought that he would suddenly come up with such a stupid trick!

Seeing the silence outside the door, Qi Changting finally pursed his lips in satisfaction, and said mercifully, "Come in."

Then when the door was pushed open, he suddenly said: "You all go out."

Bai Qiao: "...?"

In an instant, only she, Qi Changting and Bai Xiao were left in the room.

Bai Xiao was not sure that the "you" in the mouth of "Mr. Qi" did not include him, but he still stayed with his eyes wary.

Qi Changting scoffed in his heart, but he didn't chase Bai Xiao out after all.

The boy slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at Baiqiao, "Young lady, just say what you want."

Bai Qiao glanced at Bai Xiao and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he settled down and said the plan that Qi Changting had guessed she would propose early in the morning.

"Let the adults behind me jump out and publicly support Gan Fang?" The young man smiled gently, but Bai Qiao could hear the deep evil in it.

"But I'm just a pawn. I'm afraid it will be difficult to do this. How will the girl repay me?"

Bai Qiao: "..."

Today, Qi Jingmin just came out of Chaowu Hall, and he was in a good mood.

In the past six months or so, things have not gone well for him, if not for the empress mother to comfort him, he might lose his composure.

But now, the words of the queen mother have finally come true.

His emperor's father gave Qi Changting five cities as soldiers and horses, and it really was just to check and balance the second child.

When Qi Yunzheng came back last month, Emperor Huisheng was worried about his second son's injury at first, but slowly, this worry was transferred to his third son.

——With no military power in Qi Yunzheng's hands, how could he tolerate Qi Changting sleeping beside his couch?

This morning, Emperor Huisheng finally revealed some thoughts about wanting Qi Changting to move.

Qi Jingmin naturally wouldn't stop him, and even prepared to add fire, but his third younger brother knew the current affairs, and directly asked for sick leave, saying that he had been too tired recently, and hoped that Wucheng Bingmasi could find another capable person to take his place.

As for how long it will be temporarily, it depends on the will of the emperor.

Qi Jingmin secretly regretted it, but he was still in a good mood.

He hummed a little tune and walked through the corridor in the palace, for a moment he felt that it was not a big problem for the Ye family to secretly deposit money with Qianfang.

When he finds an opportunity, he completely kills Qianfang and takes the shopkeeper Qi who advises Qianfang to his side, to see if he will refute his face again and again.

After leaving the palace, the carriages and horses of the First Prince's Mansion stopped not far away, but there was someone beside the horses, who was circling anxiously.

A bad premonition flashed through the young man's heart.

This premonition became true after hearing what the visitor said.

"What did you say?!" He almost lost his composure and grabbed the man by the collar.

"Reporting to Your Highness," the man was about to cry, "Third Highness sent someone to Qianfang Bank to buy half of Qianfang's shares!"

Qi Jingmin took two deep breaths, stabilized his gentle and calm mask, and asked in a calm tone, "Will you agree?"

No, he didn't even have to ask, he definitely wouldn't agree.

He also thought about buying dry stocks, but the shopkeeper Qi of Qianfang was as hard and smelly as a stone in a cesspit.

He told himself like this, but the person in front of him knelt down with a plop——

"I heard, yes... yes."

At this moment in Xishui Street, many merchants looked at Qi Tonghe from a distance, smiling obsequiously, sending away the man who was dressed in a low-key but with an aura like a [-]-year-old man, and deeply realized that the sky was about to change.

No matter how powerful Qianfang was in the past, he was still a "human being" no matter how amazing he did, but now, they know that this bank, which has just come to Xishui Street for a year and a half, has soared to the "heaven". up.

That is the nobleman in the palace, the palace!

Even if the other party never told Qian Fang his real identity from the beginning to the end, the word "in the palace" is enough.

It's enough to scare anyone, including Qi Jingmin.

What others saw was the green smoke rising from Qian Fang's ancestral grave, and he got the favor of the nobleman, but he knew that what Qian Fang wanted was only the favor of that person.

What does this mean?

Qianfang belonged to that person from the beginning to the end, and now he just used a cover-up to fool the people of the Eastern Capital, the courtiers, and the Emperor of Great Hui who sits high in the hall.

and him.

No, the man knew he couldn't fool him, and this was a slap in the face for him.

It turns out that Qi Changting has never become mediocre at all, he has been enduring these five years, like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass, quietly watching him perform.

The young man stood under the noon sun, but felt a cool air climbed from his heels to the top of the sky.

It was very similar to the icy lake that drowned his half-brother when he was young.

He panicked, panicked beyond control.

As a concubine, the biggest shadow when he was young was that his concubine was stronger than himself, much stronger, so strong that he would feel guilty about whether he was worthy of that position.

"Your Highness, Your Highness?"

Qi Jingmin was brought back to his senses by the sound of "Your Highness", and turned his head to look at it in a daze.

That is the officer in charge of the mother's harem.

"I knew His Highness hadn't left yet," the eunuch smiled brightly, and handed him a food box, "Your Majesty specially prepared this for His Highness, to aid in digestion."

How could he be in the mood to eat snacks now?

Qi Jingmin looked at the eunuch, couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes, and was about to back away, but was blocked by Fuchen Xuxu.

"Your Majesty specially prepared it for His Highness, His Highness really doesn't care?"

The sun slanted on the brick-red palace wall, and the shadow covered half of the Zhongguan's face.

Qi Jingmin was stunned as the Zhongguan passed the food box to him, and then watched the Zhongguan take small steps and disappear into the deep palace again.

He got into the carriage in silence, took out the food box, broke open the pastries one by one, and finally found a note in the last one.

"My son, you are the son of Da Hui, and anyone who violates the son will be rebellious and should be beheaded."

This is the Great Emblem.

According to the etiquette dogma written in Zongyi, the son of heaven is determined to be a young dragon, which cannot be violated, and only he is worthy of that position.

Qi Jingmin was pinching the oily note, his face was obscured by the candlelight.

"Your Highness, here we are."

The coachman's voice came from outside the car, saying that he had arrived at the First Prince's Mansion.

Qi Jingmin regained his senses, and slowly moved the note to the side of the candle.

The thin rice paper stained with oil will instantly turn into fly ash when it touches the flames, but the moment it is close to destruction, the hand takes the paper back.

The young man wrapped the note in another clean letter paper and put it in his arms.

"Go to Ye Mansion." He didn't get out of the car, and said directly to the driver.

The coachman should be.

Qi Jingmin was as steady as a rock in the slightly shaking carriage.

The queen mother was right, whether it was courtiers, prime ministers, or other princes, they were never the objects of his concern, but he was born to be surrendered by these people.

Otherwise, it is inverse!

In the Ye Mansion, Ye Lu also held a small note in his hand, with a shocked expression on his face.

That third prince actually bought [-]% of Qian Fang's shares? !

Thinking back to Ye Huan's birthday last year, Qi Changting just saved a large amount of silver in Qianfang, and told them openly, and used this as an example to provoke their greed.

Even if he knew that Qi Changting wanted to block Qi Jingmin, who wouldn't want to get more money for nothing?

Anyway, on the surface, Shenghe Qianzhuang has nothing to do with Qi Jingmin, the only blame is that the interest he gave is not as high as anyone else, survival of the fittest.

But now, Qi Changting actually bought Qian Fang.

No, no, did you really just buy it now?

Ye Lu's expression became serious.

He is in this position, but he is too aware of these twists and turns in the middle.

Sheng He was almost powerless to fight back under the pressure of Qianfang, and only by relying on price wars could he lose both. How could Qi Jingmin never think of annexing Qianfang.

But obviously, he failed.

But why did Qi Changting succeed?

Maybe it's not that he succeeded at all, but that the bank was his from the beginning, so it makes sense!

Ye Lv could hardly hide the shock in his eyes.

Originally thought that the third prince was just hurting Zhong Yong, but he didn't think it was a reckless attempt, even his majestic prime minister was mistaken!

Moreover, what does he mean by releasing the news about the party at this time?

Ye Lu couldn't help feeling a little cold-this is to force them to stand in line.

"Master, His Majesty has come down." The butler's message came from outside the door.

Ye Lu was so startled that he almost pulled out a beard.

He stared blankly at the teacup in front of him, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his gaze gradually became more and more serious.

Qi Changting is a ruthless person. He has a deep understanding of this point. He has been hiding in the dragon for many years, waiting for the opportunity, and can shock the court with only a thin transfer document.

It is true that His Majesty is the son of the eldest son, but...

So what?

The previous dynasty did not stipulate the establishment of a concubine, but it also stipulated that a virtuous person should be established, but when everyone fights for that position, no matter how wise they are, they can be called fatuous or even tyrannical to you, let alone just a concubine's status?

At the moment when he became a king and defeated a bandit, whether Dahui still had a son-in-law, or whether that son-in-law was the son-in-law of the royal family, were all things to be discussed.

"Master?" the butler outside called again.

"Here we come." Ye Lu stood up, put on his robe, and became Prime Minister Ye with a calm face again.

However, it is not yet time to draw conclusions.

The third prince was a blockbuster, but he was still one step behind his elder brother. After all, apart from Shenghe, Qi Jingmin also had a household department.

But see what he does next.

Ye Lv walked towards the front hall with windy footsteps, and at the same time, Qi Jingmin, who was waiting in the front hall, finally learned of a news that almost shattered his liver and gallbladder.

"In the two months since you went to look for the Taihu Stone, a major event happened to the party that is not a serious matter, so Shopkeeper Sheng didn't talk to you much."

Qi Jingmin's palms were sweating, almost biting his back molars.

"I told you to tell me!"

The guard's head was almost hanging down in his collar, and he said in a voice like a mosquito: "Qi's shopkeeper, Qian Fang, called a woman who looked like a fairy as his husband, and said that Qian could be what he is today, thanks to that woman's advice. "

woman, woman...

Really, it was that woman again.

Qi Jingmin almost crushed the teacup with his right hand, and there was still a last sliver of rationality hanging over him not to lose his composure in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

For the sake of saving face, he never told his subordinates about the specific situation when he was in Jiangdu. He knew that it was a woman who made him suffer repeatedly, and the only person who had sent him to follow up was the secret guards, who had already been told to kill them.

But now that all speculations have been confirmed, the woman who disappeared in Dongdu a year and a half ago had been hiding in Qianfang Bank, and she leaked the news when he left Dongdu, just to avoid it.

Qi Changting, Qi Changting, Qi Changting!

All kinds of thoughts were mixed together and disappeared in a flash, the veins on the back of the young man's hands were bulging, and he wished he could eat the flesh and blood of these three words, so that he didn't even hear the approaching footsteps.

"Brother Jingmin?" The woman said in an elegant and friendly voice.

He subconsciously raised his eyes to look, but he didn't have time to restrain the fierceness in his eyes.

The tray in Ye Huan's hand fell to the ground with a jingle, and the porcelain pieces mixed with the hot tea fell to the ground.

The hall was suffocatingly silent.

Both of them lowered their eyes, one was vicious and panicked, the other was shocked and terrified.

Ye Huan had never seen Qi Jingmin like that before, it seemed that there was an evil spirit in his eyes, and he might rush out at any time and tear all those who disobeyed him to pieces.

He, he in the end...

Ye Huan's heart was turbulent, but in just a short moment, she suddenly "hissed" and laughed at herself wryly: "It's been so long at home that I can't even hold the teacup steadily.

The woman's voice was clear and clear, with a hint of liveliness in her ease.

Qi Jingmin's nerves gradually relaxed, maybe she didn't see it.

Yes, she shouldn't have seen it, and he also knew how scary he was just now, Ye Huan was just a boudoir girl, if he really saw it, how could he be able to talk and laugh happily.

Qi Jingmin raised his eyes again, he was gentle again, he smiled and feigned anger at the servants beside him and said, "Come and clean up soon, why don't you tell your lady to come by herself?"

The air came alive again, Ye Huan gave a little blessing, and said to serve tea again, Qi Jingmin nodded.

He looked at the girl's back, his eyes gradually became darker.

That's right, his top priority is to win Ye Huan as soon as possible, and use all means to pull the Ye family onto his boat.

Ye Huan stepped out of the small courtyard where the front hall was located with a dignified pace, and leaned against the archway beside him when his legs softened.

I don't know when my back was already covered in cold sweat.

No, it can't be Qi Jingmin, he is too scary.

In the past, it was possible to see who was more powerful between the two brothers, in order to get her and the Ye family's support.

But now, she doesn't know what will happen to the Ye family in Qi Jingmin's hands, but she must not live well.

Sure enough, Qi Changting, her brother Changting when she was young, is the most suitable!

Thinking about it this way, Ye Huan went to fetch the teacup again, endured the palpitations and went back to the front hall again.

Ye Lv had also arrived, and the voices of the two of them could be faintly heard in the room.

Ye Huan paused for a while, then suddenly turned in a direction like a ghost, bypassed the guards at the main entrance, and hid in the side hall.

Qi Jingmin's gentle voice came to his ears again, but it was especially strange when coupled with the sudden violence just now.

Ye Huan settled down and listened to what he was saying.

"Then Ganfang said that it took a beautiful woman to develop so far." The young man took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "I know that woman, she was the one brought back from Jiangdu by the third younger brother. Just pretending to do this in order to raise the girl's worth is also nonsense."

"Put your money in there, but be careful that you will lose it all someday." Qi Jingmin said with a smile.

He laughed, and Ye Lu laughed too, but Ye Huan, who was next door, squeezed the tray tightly.

He is, what do you mean.

Whose worth is Qi Changting trying to raise?

Could it be that he wants to marry that run-down merchant girl in Jiangdu? !

The author has something to say:

Qi Changting: I'm just a pawn, and I can't handle the girl's important affairs (I'm angry, come and coax me).

PS: I haven’t had a chance to use the manuscript box for too long, and I forgot to set a publishing time. I found out after four o’clock, so I added another thousand words as compensation, and I will send it out at 6:00...
