Chapter 327 Even a dog wouldn't eat it.

"Your Highness, would you like to stay in Chang'an?"

The two snuggled together for a while, and then Chen Shuozhen suddenly spoke.

think!

Why wouldn't I want to?

It may seem good to be a king or tyrant in one's own fiefdom, but ultimately one will be subject to the control of others.

But these words cannot be said...

Even if Chen Shuo is really his woman!

Li Ke remained wary.

"Your Highness, the best way to stay in Chang'an is..."

"Seize Wei Shuyu's Ministry of Commerce!"

"The Ministry of Commerce is currently in its initial stage. As long as you take charge of the Ministry of Commerce, you can legitimately remain in Chang'an..."

A ruthless glint flashed in Chen Shuozhen's innocent eyes.

When she looked at Li Ke, her expression softened with tenderness.

“No one else can lead Wei Shuyu’s Ministry of Commerce…” Li Ke said with a smile.

"OK."

Chen Shuozhen nodded firmly: "As long as he's dead, that's fine."

Li Ke frowned.

But he didn't say much.

Imperial ambitions and conquests are discussed in jest; what does the death of one person matter?

"Don't joke around."

Li Ke smiled and said, "If Wei Shuyu dies, Wei Zheng, my father, my grandfather, and others will definitely investigate thoroughly. He won't be able to escape it."

"And you underestimate the civil and military officials..."

"The existence of the Ministry of Commerce has already affected the interests of many officials."

"Once Wei Shuyu dies, even I cannot hold the situation together!"

The interests involved in the Ministry of Commerce are enormous.

Li Shimin trusted the Wei family, which is why he entrusted this matter to Wei Shuyu.

As for the others... Li Shimin trusted no one.

Once officials collude in corruption, the accumulated wealth can threaten their rule.

"Your Highness has misunderstood."

Chen Shuozhen cleverly said, "Zhen'er doesn't mean that we must kill Wei Shuyu."

"We can use other methods to seize the Ministry of Commerce!"

Um?

Li Ke looked at Chen Shuozhen in his arms, a puzzled expression on his face.

"Your Highness, rest assured, this matter can be left to Zhen'er."

Chen Shuozhen replied with a smile, "But you have to give Zhen'er some support."

Li Ke did not reply.

If he could really seize control of the Ministry of Commerce, he could settle near Chang'an.

As long as you stay in Chang'an, you may have a chance to seize the throne!

"Let's not talk about that now."

Li Ke revealed a lewd smile: "It's getting dark, isn't it time to serve you in bed?"

The next day.

Wei Mansion.

"Wei Shuyu, Wei Shuyu..."

Wu Qiqi lifted her skirt and ran into the Wei residence, just like she was at home.

Well……

Wei Shuyu scratched his head.

Has the sun risen in the west?

It wasn't Little Jiji who called me today...

Perhaps you were scared after I beat you yesterday?

Um.

I was too lenient; I didn't teach him a lesson enough yesterday...

What brings you here?

Wei Shuyu opened the door and saw Wu Qiqi standing at the door with a small cloth bag on her back.

"Oh no..."

"The King of Shu is back, and I have a feeling he's going to deal with you."

As she spoke, Wu Qiqi handed Wei Shuyu a scallion pancake: "Want some?"

Wei Shuyu took it and took a bite.

It tastes weird.

Where did you get this pancake?

"Oh, this..."

Wu Qiqi said shyly, "I learned it from the imperial chef in the palace yesterday."

"..."

Wei Shuyu's eye twitched.

I was wondering why this pancake was both salty and sweet; it turns out it was your doing.

"What, doesn't it taste good?"

Wu Qiqi blinked her innocent, big eyes.

"It's acceptable."

Wei Shuyu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell the truth.

"Then why aren't you eating?"

"I plan to save it for Little Kiki and the others to eat."

"Why?"

“I hit him yesterday, so I’m making it up to him.”

"Oh, I see..."

Wu Qiqi looked as if she had just realized something.

Then she picked up her small cloth bag and patted it: "It's okay, I still have plenty here."

"..."

Wei Shuyu cracked.

What are you planning to do with so many scallion pancakes?

Are you going to wipe out my entire Wei family in one fell swoop?

"By the way, what happened to the King of Shu?"

Wei Shuyu quickly changed the subject.

If you eat this scallion pancake, you won't have an appetite for the whole day.

"Oh, this..."

Wu Qiqi put on an adorably serious face: "You have no idea, yesterday when I returned to the palace with the Emperor Emeritus, I ran into the Prince of Shu."

"The young woman next to him was trying to trick me into revealing information."

Has the King of Shu returned?

It's only been a few months since I left...

Wei Shuyu muttered a few words to himself.

"Did his wife offend you?"

Wei Shuyu thought the two of them had a fight.

"Wei Shuyu".

Wu Qiqi put her hands on her hips and said seriously, "I'm not like you, making enemies everywhere..."

"I'm so cute, everyone likes me!"

You're right no matter what you say.

The Wei family's social standing ranking...

Now you and your mother are tied for first place.

Wei Shuyu nodded perfunctorily.

I'm serious!

Seeing Wei Shuyu's indifferent attitude, Wu Qiqi gritted her little tiger teeth and said.

"Are you referring to your beauty, or to that young lady?" Wei Shuyu replied helplessly.

“Both are important!” Wu Qiqi replied.

Which is more important?

"Of course it's because I'm beautiful!"

"Isn't that settled then?"

Wei Shuyu shrugged: "This proves that the young lady isn't that important, is it?"

Well……

Wu Qiqi was stunned.

Even someone as intelligent as her couldn't gain any advantage against the Wei family's sharp tongue.

"Wei Shuyu, I'm worried about you."

Wu Qiqi said angrily, "You have no idea, that young lady always asks about your relationship with the Emperor Emeritus without warning."

"She thinks I'm cute and therefore doesn't understand anything."

"Actually, we're quite clever!"

Wei Shuyu nodded.

Wu Qiqi's intelligence is beyond doubt.

"How do you know she's trying to trick you?" Wei Shuyu asked.

"You're so stupid."

Wu Qiqi said with a grin, "Talking about the Emperor Emeritus behind his back is a big taboo."

"How could she dare to talk to me about this when we first met?"

"And there's more..."

"She's the King of Shu's concubine, why are you talking about her?"

Oh ho?

Wei Shuyu stroked his chin.

After Wu Qiqi said that, it actually seemed to make sense.

"So what do you think I should do?" Wei Shuyu asked with a smile.

"I'm just reminding you to be careful."

Wu Qiqi said seriously, "Never believe what other women say."

"..."

This lecture felt a little strange.

"Big pot, big pot..."

Just then, Choi Shin-ki's voice finally rang out: "I'm here."

"Hey, Qiqi, you're here so early today!"

*Smack*

Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head with his other hand.

"Where have you been today? Why are you so late?"

"It's not that I'm late, it's that Qiqi is early."

Wei Shuyu nodded, then handed the scallion pancake in his hand to Cui Shenji...

"What's the big pot doing?"

"Here's some food for you."

What?

Choi Shin-ki picked up the scallion pancake with two fingers, looking disgusted...

"Hey, this scallion pancake is hard."

"It's obviously leftovers from yesterday."

"And this one got bitten."

"You didn't give me something a dog had chewed up, just to mess with me, did you?"

Was it bitten by a dog?

Wei Shuyu's face immediately darkened.

I was listening to everything perfectly fine until I heard this, and then I immediately lost my composure.

"eat!"

Wei Shuyu reprimanded him with a dark face.

"..."

Choi Sin-ki hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't withstand Wei Shu-yu's tyrannical power.

After hesitating for a while, he closed his eyes and took a bite.

Then……

"Pah, pah, pah."

Choi Shin-ki spat out the scallion pancake and cursed, "Who made this scallion pancake? Even a dog wouldn't eat it!"

Even dogs won't eat it?

Wu Qiqi's face immediately darkened.

"Choi Shin-ki, there's something I'd like to discuss with you..."
