After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Shengrui, his phoenix eyes revealed a bit of cunning, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Fourth brother is interested. He still wants to take time out from his busy schedule to see his younger brother."

"Ah, busy?" Qin Shengrui coughed dryly, "Yes, I am indeed very busy, so busy... that my feet never touch the ground. But you are my biological brother, and I have to come and persuade you. Don't resist now. Hurry up and plead guilty, hand over the 100 million taels, and my brother will say something nice for you in front of your father, so you don’t have to suffer in this cell..."

The cell was quickly tidy, and there was wine and meat on the table. To say that he was suffering was an exaggeration.

Qin Shengrui curled his lips and continued: "In short, fourth brother is doing this for your own good."

"For my own good?" Yan Mu sneered.

"In the end, we are a family, and my brother can't cheat you."

"But I didn't commit corruption. How can I plead guilty?"

Qin Shengrui's face sank, "There are both witnesses and physical evidence, so it's useless for you to quibble."

"Hey, fourth brother, if you really feel sorry for your younger brother, then go to the father and help your younger brother cry out for his injustice."

"Old Seven, you are so stubborn. If you really want to steal all your property, it will probably be more than 100 million taels, right?"

"Yo, I didn't know I was so rich."

"You don't want too much property in your wife's name."

"You also said that it is her property and it was not acquired through corruption by me."

"Can you two make it clear?"

Yan Mu sighed, "Fourth brother means that even if I didn't commit corruption, I still have to admit guilt, right?"

Qin Shengrui smiled and said, "If you run out of money, you can make more money. If you are demoted to a commoner, at least you will still be alive. Fourth brother is doing it for your own good."

"I don't think Fourth Brother is doing it for my own good, but instead wants to harm me." Yan Mu said with a smile.

Qin Shengrui's face turned green, "Don't be ungrateful!"

"I know what's good and what's good, so I won't listen to Fourth Brother."

"You..." Qin Shengrui was so angry that he slammed the table and pointed at Yan Mu, "You are now a prisoner. How can you still hope that you can get rid of your charges? I tell you it is absolutely impossible."

Yan Mu tilted his head, "I want to hear it, why is it absolutely impossible?"

"Hmph, now my father only has two princes, you and me. The position of Crown Prince is between you and me. But you don't even know where you come from. You are just a bastard. My father will never pass on the throne to you. You. And I am a legitimate legitimate son, with the support of many ministers behind me. No matter how famous you were before, you are still not as good as me. Since my father wants to establish me, he must be clear of your obstacle. This is the best opportunity! "The more Qin Shengrui said, the more proud he became, as if he was already the prince.

"It actually makes some sense." Yan Mu said.

"Hmph, so brother gave you a way out, you have to be grateful."

"But since my father values ​​you, I should let you go to court together after I am imprisoned, and I should leave many political affairs to you. If so, how can you still have time to come to me?"

Qin Shengrui's eyes widened, "Father naturally respects me, I..."

"Have you entered the court?"

"..."

Yan Mu laughed, "Isn't there Lu Changan behind you? He is now prosperous in the court. If he really supports you, he shouldn't. And now that I am imprisoned, it is you who entered the court to participate in politics. The best opportunity, if you miss it, there will be no next time.”

"He and I are cousins, and I will not be provoked by you."

"What did I provoke? Isn't it true?"

Qin Shengrui stood up suddenly with a gloomy expression, "Yan Mu, let me tell you, I have never regarded you as my brother. When I ascend the throne, you will be the first person I want to kill!"

Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "What a coincidence, so do I."

"You, stop being so whimsical!"

"When I ascend the throne, I will also kill you and cut you into pieces with a thousand cuts." Yan Mu stood up and took a step closer to Qin Shengrui. "Or it could be the punishment of skinning, burying you in the soil first, unable to move. , then make a cut on the top of the head, peel off the scalp, pour mercury into it, and the skin and flesh of the person are peeled off under extreme pain, and then a complete human skin is obtained."

Qin Shengrui's face was already very green and his body was trembling slightly, obviously a little scared.

"Get this human skin and stuff it with straw, and you'll really become a straw bag."

"you!"

Yan Mu sat back, his eyes fierce, "Fourth brother, just wait, this day is not far away."

Qin Shengrui was frightened, turned around and walked out. Because he was so panicked, he bumped into the goalpost. Yan Mu laughed out loud when he saw this.

The reason why he came today was nothing more than the Queen's request to coax him into confessing, but she still thought too highly of her son, and she had to bury herself if she couldn't dig a hole.

Qin Shengrui came out of the Criminal Department and was extremely flustered. He thought that Yan Mu must be decadent and desperate after he committed such a big case. But when he saw him today, he was not afraid at all, and he was very confident. He was confident that he could do nothing. The release of sin is also inevitable for that person.

He had broken up with Yan Mu, and when he heard that he was going to torture him, he felt only uneasiness and fear. After much deliberation, Qin Shengrui went to Prince Suping's Mansion instead of returning home.

In the study, Lu Changan personally poured tea into Qin Shengrui's hand.

"At this time, Your Highness should not come to my house, lest someone gossip in front of the Emperor that the two of us are having a private relationship."

Qin Shengrui took a big sip and calmed down, "My father knows what our relationship is, and the ministers also know it. There is no need to hide and evade."

Lu Changan lowered his eyes and tapped the rim of the cup with the lid, "You know what you know in your heart, but speaking out is another matter."

"You are too cautious!" Qin Shengrui waved his hand, "By the way, I just went to the Ministry of Punishment. I wanted to persuade that bastard to plead guilty, but he didn't know how to commend him. He also said that his father would definitely give him the crown prince position. Once he If you succeed, you will kill me."

Lu Changan frowned, "Why are you looking for him?"

"I didn't tell you anymore because I wanted to persuade him to plead guilty."

"Do you think His Majesty Seventh Prince is so easy to deceive?"

"I thought he would be scared at this point, but he wasn't at all."

Lu Changan closed his eyes, "I advise Your Highness not to get involved in this case."

"But this is the best opportunity to bring down Yan Mu."

"Things are not as simple as His Highness thinks."

Qin Shengrui looked at Lu Changan's neutral expression and suddenly remembered what Yan Mu said. Did his cousin really have the intention to support him? Or maybe he has other plans&

"Chang'an, we are cousins, you have to help me. When I succeed to the throne in the future, you will be the most important contributor. We two brothers will share the country, okay?"

Lu Changan took a deep breath, "How do you want me to help you?"

"Yan Mu is imprisoned. This is a good time for me to join the government and participate in politics, isn't it?"

"You want to join politics?" Lu Changan couldn't help but frown.

"You don't seem to agree?"

"I advise Your Highness not to do so."

"Why?"

"If you do something wrong at this time, the Emperor will definitely compare you with His Highness the Seventh, and I'm afraid he won't be able to let go of His Highness the Seventh."

After all, one son is useless, you can only count on the other.

Qin Shengrui snorted coldly, "It seems that King Suping and His Highness are indeed not of the same mind!"
