Pei Yue stood up and walked towards Li Jinyan with an indifferent expression.

The two soldiers guarding the door rushed in immediately after hearing the noise, guarding the door like two door gods.

Although he didn't think Pei Yue would do anything crazy, Li Jinyan had never experienced a life or death situation. Facing Pei Yue, who had killed people with his own hands and rolled on the edge of life and death, he couldn't help but stand up and retreat, pointing at Pei Yue and trembling

Said: "What do you want to do?"

Pei Yue came to stand in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Say what you just said again."

Li Jinyan held on and said, "I am here today for your sake. Is your attitude just now the way to treat guests?"

"Guest?" Pei Yue sneered, poked his face with his finger and said angrily: "You are just a chief historian of the prince's palace, who gave you the courage to seek to seize the noble property? Emperor Gaozu once said that the chief historian is in charge of the government and litigation of the prince's palace.

, assisting the prime minister to regulate and ridicule the king's loss, and lead the government officials to provide services

That's a matter, let's just focus on the general affairs. To put it bluntly, the only place you can control is within the palace. Outside the palace, you will be no different from the common people. Instead of working for the eldest prince in the palace, you came to my palace to do this shameless thing.

It’s really ridiculous.”

Li Jinyan said in a panic: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just passing on someone else's message. When will I try to seize your property?"

Pei Yue reached out and grabbed his wrist, forced him to go out, and sneered: "Pass a message? Very good, I will take you to find someone to criticize."

"Let me go! Pei Yue, are you crazy?"

Li Jinyan struggled desperately, but he had been pampered all year round. How could he be the opponent of Pei Yue, who practiced martial arts diligently every day? He could only watch as he was dragged towards the door.

Pei Yue was furious and yelled in a stern tone: "Let's go, let's go see your Majesty right now. Please come and see, the long history of the prince's palace actually wants to pass a message on behalf of the merchants, whose family owns this big beam!"

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Li Jinyan turned pale and his eyes were filled with horror.

He struggled with all his strength, and then said quickly: "I am not delivering a message for the merchants today. The prince is interested in the coal mines in Shouyang Mountain. Seeing that you are about to lose your strength, I want to help you!"

Pei Yue's eyes moved, but he refused to slow down. He continued to pull Li Jinyan out of the side hall and sneered: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? The eldest prince is His Majesty's eldest son and is very favored by His Majesty. Is he still short of money? He must be.

It is you, a villain, who has taken advantage of the merchants and wants to conspire with them to seize my property. Come to the emperor today and tell me clearly. I want to see if you, a villain, can deceive the saint!"

Li Jinyan felt weak all over, and simply sat down on the ground. His usual graceful demeanor disappeared without a trace, and he said in a panic: "It is indeed the prince who ordered me to come here to discuss with you. Li is just a long history, how can he have the courage?"

Are you acting in the name of the prince?"

After hearing this, Pei Yue let go of his hand and let Li Jinyan slump to the ground. He looked down at him, the expression on his face changing constantly.

Hesitation, anger, sadness, and finally a hint of fear.

Li Jinyan has a clear view of these emotions.

Pei Yue was breathing heavily, his eyes were slightly red, and he said after a while: "Is it true that the prince wants the business name and the coal mine in Shouyang Mountain?"

Li Jinyan nodded quickly and said: "It's absolutely true. Pei Yue, the prince just wants to help you, not to take advantage of you. To tell you the truth, if you continue to be so stubborn, the company and the coal mine will be destroyed by you."

Here, not to mention making money, you will definitely lose everything in the end! The prince is doing it for your own good, why can't you understand?"

Pei Yue signaled to his soldiers to help him up and paced anxiously in the court.

Li Jinyan was scared to death just now. Seeing Pei Yue in such a dilemma, he suddenly realized in his heart: This kid is not afraid of anything. It's ridiculous that he still thinks so much. If he had known, he would have carried the prince out directly.

Just give in?

Pei Yue suddenly stopped, stared at Li Jinyan and asked again: "You didn't lie to me? Did the prince really ask you to come?"

Li Jinyan snorted softly and said: "As the chief historian of the palace, Li certainly helps the prince with his affairs."

Pei Yue lowered his face and said, "I can't trust you."

Li Jinyan frowned and said, "How are you doing?"

After hesitating for a moment, Pei Yue gritted his teeth and said: "If it is really the prince who wants it, then please ask the prince to come to me himself, so that I will not know that I have been deceived."

Li Jinyan wanted to say who you are and how dare you appoint the prince, but when he thought about how crazy this kid just now was, he couldn't help but feel frightened. He pretended to think about it and said, "This matter needs to be decided by the prince."

Pei Yue had a look of humiliation on his face, then bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, Li Changshi, please go back and ask the prince for instructions."

"Wouldn't it be enough to do this earlier? I wonder why you are so crazy, huh!"

Li Jinyan waved his sleeves contemptuously and glared at Pei Yue before walking away.

After he left, Pei Yue slowly straightened up, looked at the dead leaves falling in the garden, put his hands behind his back, and looked very calm.

Ye Qi's figure appeared from behind the door, walked slowly to his side, and sighed: "How could this person be so stupid?"

Pei Yue raised the corners of his mouth slightly, shook his head and said: "He is not stupid, he just can't see the situation clearly. I once heard someone say that the cats and dogs in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion are more noble than ordinary officials, let alone the head of a royal palace.

Butler? His eyes have been captivated by flattery for a long time, so he feels that no one dares to play tricks in front of him."

Ye Qi said with some worry: "If you involve King Lu, how will it end?"

Pei Yue said calmly: "It's not King Lu, but someone else. Since the other party feels that he has strangled me by the throat, but will not strangle me to death, he always needs to force me to submit at the right time. Now I am a lord after all, and

I'm not a common person, so how can I bow my head if the other party doesn't invite someone with enough weight?"

Ye Qi smiled and said: "Your previous judgment was correct. What they want most is the coal mine in Shouyang Mountain."

Pei Yue said: "Fangzi cannot be defended forever. To have Fangzi, there must be a coal mine. If I can't even see this, why should I fight with them? By the way, Sun Qi and the others are gone?"

Ye Qi nodded and said: "I left, saying that I was going back to raise money. But I guess they were intimidated by King Lu's reputation and didn't want to stay here and be tainted with the royal family's right and wrong."

Seeing a hint of dissatisfaction on her face, Pei Yue smiled and said: "Don't be too harsh, after all, they don't know my plan. Now it seems that there are enemies on all sides, and everyone wants to get in and steal my property. Here

Under such circumstances, they are willing to use money to continue to support me, even if it is just a nominal loan, which shows that these people are worthy of friendship."

Ye Qi said angrily: "You are just too kind, and you will suffer losses sooner or later in the future."

Pei Yue's cheeks felt a little hot when he heard this.

In two lifetimes, this was the first time he heard someone comment on his kindness. Even though he was used to seeing trouble, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Ye Qi looked at him curiously and asked, "What's wrong?"

Pei Yue smartly did not continue this topic. Thinking of what happened in the morning, he said thoughtfully: "Ye Qi, there is something I want to tell you."

"you say."

"Uncle Gu has some thoughts about my marriage. I told you before. Although I haven't thought about marriage yet, my sister Gu is already seventeen this year. I can't keep putting it off like this."

Pei Yue suddenly fell silent.

Ye Qi turned around to face him, his sleeves were smooth and he smiled and said, "Keep talking."

Pei Yue really didn't want to hide this matter. The most important thing was that he and Ye Qi had been honest with each other, so he mustered up the courage to briefly recount the conversation with Gu Zhen in the morning. After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes,

Put on a posture that looks like death.

However, Ye Qi did not take action.

Pei Yue quietly opened his eyes and saw Ye Qi looking at him with a smile but not a smile, and said in a calm tone: "Congratulations, the lovers are finally married."

This didn't sound like a nice thing to say, but Ye Qi didn't show any anger.

Pei Yue cautiously tried: "No more?"

Ye Qi stretched out, turned around and said: "This is the way the world is, can I still force you not to take a concubine? I have told you long ago that even if we fulfill our engagement, that seat will be mine, and others can only do it

Xiao. If you have the ability to make Gu Zhen your concubine, then I will naturally not stop you. If you have any trouble, you can bear it yourself."

Although it is not the best answer, considering Ye Qi's character, this answer is actually acquiescence.

Pei Yue was very moved and said: "Ye Qi, I will definitely work hard!"

"Work hard? How many more people do you want to find?" After hearing this answer, Ye Qi finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned around again and kicked Pei Yue in the thigh.

In fact, with Pei Yue's current martial arts skills, this kick really couldn't hit him, because Ye Qi didn't use all his strength. But he still didn't dodge, and received the kick with a smile on his face, and then took advantage of the situation and flew back, very quickly.
