The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

Regent Liu Yuechen concealed the sarcasm in his eyes and continued to act his stubborn and unyielding character, claiming that he disagreed.

The emperor was not sincere in his persuasion, so he only advised him once and then stopped.

He took the opportunity to play the role of the "good brother" who would tolerate his brother's mischief infinitely, pretending to be very helpless, and said lovingly: "Okay, okay, then I will listen to Achen. Achen said that he wants to keep everyone in the Ministry of Punishment, so let's keep them all."

"Who said we should keep him in the Ministry of Punishment?" Liu Yuechen sneered. He had become very skilled in playing the role of a spoiled child over the years.

"The 137 people in Nanyuan Marquis's mansion almost fill up my entire Ministry of Punishment. It's so crowded that they are dying." He complained with disgust and proposed his own solution, "I will kill them all in two days."

When he said this, he even chuckled, as if he felt that he had come up with a brilliant idea.

This sounds like a joke, but not quite.

The emperor suddenly stopped drinking tea, turned his head, and looked at Liu Yuechen with surprise and inquiry.

"Why are you looking at me like this, brother? Do you think my idea is bad?"

The emperor looked at him for a long time, then shook his head with a smile, "Of course not, I think your idea is very good."

Even better was the tone in which he said those words—talking about killing as naturally as cutting vegetables.

He has taken good care of his younger brother for so many years and has finally brought him up.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more he couldn't suppress the curve of his mouth.

Finally, he laughed out loud and said, "As long as Ah Chen is happy. You can do whatever you want. Anyway, no matter what, I, as your brother, will take care of it for you."

"Thank you, my brother! Only my brother in this world would treat me so well."

Although the mask obscured the expression on Liu Yuechen's face, the admiration in his words could not be concealed.

The emperor had no suspicions.

He had never liked his younger brother so much as he did today.

Not smart, ugly, notorious, murderous, short life...these are all great advantages!

For a moment, he felt that it was a pity to let Liu Yuechen die so early.

Although his younger brother must die young, he doesn't have to die too young. It's not impossible to let him live another half a year or a year.

"Ah Chen, how is your health lately? Do you want to call a doctor to take a look at you?"

Such abnormal concern startled Liu Yuechen. He thought it was another test from the emperor. Although he remained calm on the surface, he had already started to think about whether there were any mistakes in his words and actions just now.

After thinking it over to no avail, he calmed himself down and decided to remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.

"Still the same."

The emperor said in a deep voice: "Then let the imperial physician come and take a look at you."

Liu Yuechen was unsure for a moment whether he had really discovered something and wanted to test it out, or if there was some other reason.

But no matter what, the pulse must not be taken by the imperial physician, otherwise the fact that his fire poison has been cured will no longer be hidden.

"Those quack doctors have no ability to cure me. They just like to prescribe bitter and smelly medicines every time." He was unhappy when he mentioned this, and even his tone was a little impatient. "Royal brother, please don't worry about it. My disease can't be cured anyway. I have accepted my fate for so many years."

Without waiting for the emperor to speak, he changed the subject.

It seemed that he was acting on his own accord and saying whatever he thought, but in fact he was also testing the emperor's intentions.

If the emperor was suspicious of something at this moment, no matter how off topic he was, he would always find a way to get back to it.

Fortunately, the emperor never mentioned summoning the imperial physician again.

But he talked about another thing - he asked Liu Yuechen to put all the things he got from Nanyuan Marquis Mansion into the national treasury.

Ha! Compared to the lives of more than a hundred people, he really cared more about whether he could get the gold and silver.

……

the other side.

Yiqing has already returned home.

I thought that what happened last night would make Su Yutang go crazy and target me, but I didn't expect that everything would be calm when I returned home.

——No one even revealed the fact that she did not come home at night.

There must be something wrong when things are abnormal, Yiqing became secretly alert.

She believed that Su Yutang could not be so content.

that's the truth.

Seeing that he could not defeat Yiqing, Su Yutang "accidentally met" the Seventh Prince under the advice of the system.

Ever since the accident in the Grand Princess's mansion, no one dared to discuss the matter openly, but the Seventh Prince always suspected that they were laughing at him behind his back, so much so that he could not sleep at night and lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

Su Yutang was a little afraid to recognize him when he saw him at first glance, "Prince?"

The Seventh Prince looked up woodenly, then looked away indifferently.

It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a person, but just a piece of air.

After her own life story was exposed, Su Yutang hadn't been treated so coldly for a long time. She felt inexplicably embarrassed and uncomfortable.

At this moment, she got excited and grabbed the Seventh Prince's arm to stop him from moving forward.

The Seventh Prince stopped as she expected, but when he turned around, the look he gave her was extremely cold.

Su Yutang's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly came to her senses and realized how offensive her actions were. In a hurry, she blurted out: "Don't you want to know who framed you that day, Your Majesty?"

The aura around the Seventh Prince suddenly changed.

His hands were clenched into fists under the robe hanging at his sides, and even his eyes changed from numb to narrow and oppressive.

Su Yutang didn't have any keen perception. She didn't hear the other party's voice, so she thought her hint was not obvious enough, so she continued, "It's in the Grand Princess's Mansion..."

She had just started to speak when a cold hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck, interrupting her before she could finish her words.

Su Yutang's face suddenly turned red.

As she struggled to pry open her hand, a gnashing voice came from above her head, "Don't mention what happened that day in front of me!"

The memories are humiliating and disgusting.

What he could not accept the most was the look his father gave him—there was disgust, disappointment, and many things he could not understand.

Almost in an instant, he realized that his father would never be able to pass that position to him.

After years of painstaking planning, how could it suddenly turn out like this?

He is not willing!

Really not reconciled!

I really hate it!

He wants to find that person and make sure he is killed without a burial place!

The Seventh Prince's eyes were red from congestion. He stared at Su Yutang, "Who is harming me? Tell me!"

Su Yutang rolled her eyes due to being pinched. She wanted to speak but couldn't, so she could only slap his hands desperately.

The Seventh Prince didn't care about her life or death, but his remaining rationality told him that if he strangled the person in front of him to death, he would never get an answer, so he let go.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough..."

"Stop coughing and tell me who that person is." He grabbed Su Yutang's shoulders and shook him hard.

Men are naturally strong, and Su Yutang felt like all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

Her throat was so sore that she could hardly speak, but she still tried her best to utter a name, "It's Jiang, Jiang... cough cough cough... Yun... Wan... cough cough..."

The Seventh Prince didn't believe it.

"Impossible! She doesn't have the ability to do this, and she can't possibly do this to me!"

"She and I are engaged, there is no way she could possibly harm me!"

He murmured a few words, the anger in his heart almost swallowing up his reason, "You obviously don't know who the murderer is, but you want to deceive me. I will kill you!"

Su Yutang felt his murderous intent, and her strong desire to survive made her shout hoarsely, "It is because of the engagement that she wants to harm you, Your Majesty!"

"Nonsense! After the truth about the real and fake daughter was exposed, her status plummeted. I am the best man she could marry, so she should have tried every means to make me fulfill the engagement. How could she frame me like this? Unless..."

The Seventh Prince seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and the expression on his face was strange and terrifying.

"Unless she wanted to make this a done deal with me, but accidentally made me and... this bitch! Does she know what I have lost because of her stupidity?!"

No matter how beautiful a beauty is, how can she compare to a powerful country?

Originally, he still missed the affection they had for many years, so even though she was just the daughter of a lowly merchant, he gave her a position as a concubine and welcomed her into his house.

Now he just wanted to peel off her skin and tear off her bones, and even grinding her bones into ashes would not be enough to relieve the hatred in his heart.
