Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 157 Reaching a Consensus

Gu Shiming looked at the Third Prince in front of him in silence, and he suddenly felt a headache.

Upon closer examination, it turned out that it was because the emperor granted them both a marriage, tying the Third Prince and Tangxi together!

This is how to do ah!

This matter is indeed as the Third Prince said. If we don't fight, we will die, and Tangxi will die with him.

So now Gu Shiming has to help the third prince to find a solution. It’s as disgusting as eating X!

"But even if I join your camp, I can't compare to the power and authority that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have accumulated over the years, right?"

Gu Shiming racked his brains but couldn't figure out how the Third Prince could surpass the Crown Prince and the Second Prince and finally ascend the throne.

This is impossible no matter how you think about it!

Ji Qichen pretended to sigh with sorrow, "There is no other way. I can only fight for it. This way, Tangxi and I can still survive. Otherwise, we will die without a burial place."

Ji Qichen has studied Jingyang Hou. This person is not interested in roundabout words and can only be moved by sincerity.

Don't blame him for dragging Jingyang Hou into the vortex of power. After all, he wants Tangxi to survive more than anyone else.

Ji Qichen always felt that he owed Tangxi. If it wasn't for the arranged marriage, the person Tangxi was going to marry would probably never let Tangxi risk her life.

He lowered his long eyelashes to hide the calculating look in his eyes.

What he said was all true, but he emphasized more that he didn't want Tangxi to die.

In fact, he himself did not want to die. He wanted to live happily with Tangxi like an ordinary couple in this world.

He is still very greedy.

After so many years in the palace, even if you are dumb, you can skillfully win people's hearts, right?

Find out what a person cares about most and make him work hard for it.

Gu Shiming's main concern is Tangxi.

Marquis Jingyang has a soft spot for Tangxi, and Ji Qichen, who has experienced the baptism of the palace, can certainly see it.

Just don't care.

Tangxi is very beautiful, as beautiful as a precious flower growing in the wild.

But so what? As long as he is around, Tangxi will never let anyone succeed!

Ji Qichen smiled brightly, but Gu Shiming on the opposite side looked at him as if he was a fool.

He took a deep breath and said, "If I support you, what are you going to do? Are you going to let Jingyang Marquis's Mansion be buried with you?"

Ji Qichen's smile slowly faded, and his expression suddenly turned cold, "Then let all the royal brothers fight, and win with a risky move."

Gu Shiming asked, "Then how do you make the Crown Prince fight with the Second Brother?"

Ji Qichen said calmly, as if he had just said something very ordinary, "As long as the emperor is seriously ill, won't they fight?"

Gu Shiming was stunned, and looked at this prince who had no support as if he had gotten to know the Third Prince all over again.

I thought the Third Prince was naive and wanted help from the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, but I didn't expect that he really acted like a prince.

Ji Qichen also let him look at him. He didn't have any trump cards anyway, so he could only let his opponent fight until he had no trump cards like him.

It's only fair that everyone is on the same level, isn't it?

Gu Shiming rubbed his brows, "Then how do you want to make the emperor... seriously ill?"

When he said the last few words, he subconsciously lowered his voice for fear of being heard by others.

Ji Qichen also noticed it, and he spoke directly to comfort her, "It's okay, just say it boldly, I've booked the entire restaurant today!"

Gu Shiming twitched his lips. No wonder there was no one there in the morning. He thought it was too early and no one else had arrived yet!

It turned out that the third prince was stupid and rich, so he directly booked the restaurant.

He asked expressionlessly, "Then I wonder how much money His Royal Highness the Third Prince has left?"

Ji Qichen's mouth stiffened, and he blinked unnaturally, his eyes also avoiding Jingyang Hou's eyes, "Maybe, just a few dozen taels of gold."

When Gu Shiming heard the news, his eyes went dark and he covered his face with his hands.

He didn't know what to say at this moment.

Suddenly it seemed that their future was bleak!

"Why are you so poor, Third Prince?" Gu Shiming stared at the Third Prince closely.

He thought the Third Prince might be poor, but he didn't expect him to be so poor!

He thought the third prince had at least a few hundred taels of gold!

As a result, there is always a gap between reality and fantasy, and this gap is not ordinary.

Ji Qichen looked back innocently and said confidently, "I am just a prince who has no support from my mother's family, no favor from my father, and even no power and authority!"

"These are all saved by me through hard work and thriftiness!"

These words almost made Gu Shiming faint from anger. He pointed at the Third Prince, his fingers still trembling.

He had never thought that a prince could be so poor.

“Forget it, now you have to make money as soon as possible, at least save a little more just in case.”

Gu Shiming accepted his fate. Why did he choose to stand on the side of the third prince now?

In fact, it was not just Tangxi's small factor, he also took into account the needs of the crown prince and the second prince.

Gu Shiming is exceptionally gifted in strategy, and he is also extremely good at applying these to politics.

The prince's men are already fully staffed and do not need any additional personnel.

The second prince recruited talented people from all walks of life and did not mind how many people came to him, but he would not accept people like Marquis Jingyang who were disliked by the emperor.

After the emperor took back the tiger talisman from Marquis Jingyang, he was isolated by other court officials.

The Second Prince would not risk incurring the Emperor's dislike by accepting Marquis Jingyang as his disciple.

Excluding the little princes, the only option left is the third prince.

But he originally wanted to take a neutral stance!

He was living a good life, but suddenly a prince who looked like he was kicked by a donkey came to him and said he wanted to seize power? !

The prince even told him that he wanted to make the emperor seriously ill!

If he doesn't agree, will he suddenly become seriously ill and die? !

Ji Qichen changed the subject when the topic came up about how to make the emperor seriously ill. Wasn't this just to make him express his attitude first?

Gu Shiming felt that he must have not checked the almanac before going out today, otherwise how could he have encountered such a thing? !

Ji Qichen smiled quietly, as if he was certain that Gu Shiming would agree.

Gu Shiming did indeed agree to join the Third Prince's sect.

With a bad face, he pulled out from his mind some generals who had a good relationship with his mother and reported them directly to the third prince.

If he didn’t remember it, then he didn’t remember it. He didn’t want to say it a second time anyway.

Unexpectedly, Ji Qichen suddenly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and then took out a charcoal pencil wrapped in cloth from his belt and started writing down things quickly.

Gu Shiming was really stunned. Why was the Third Prince so weird?

Sometimes he acts as cruel as an ordinary prince, and sometimes he does things that are unbecoming of a prince.

It's... amazing.

After Ji Qichen finished writing, he did not forget to shake hands with Gu Shiming with his hands stained with carbon powder to show that they had reached a consensus.

Although he deliberately used that dirty hand to shake Gu Shiming.

Who made him covet Tangxi?

He still kind of disliked it a little bit.
