Huang Wujin was very confused when he saw him dressed like this and there was no one escorting Meng Chen.

"Where is Meng Chen? Where is he? Have you notified the army to round him up?"

The soldier leader said bitterly, "Your Majesty, we did not catch him. We only found a talisman puppet. Before it self-destructed, it gave this box to me, saying that after it was presented to Your Majesty, Your Majesty would make the final decision."

Huang Wujin frowned slightly and motioned Yunying to bring the things over.

Just as she was about to open it, the commander hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Meng Chen's talisman substitute said that the things inside can only be yours."

Huang Wujin naturally didn't care and opened the box directly. Inside was a letter and a photo crystal.

She suddenly had a bad feeling, glanced at the soldier leader below, and waved her hand: "You go down!"

After the soldier commander retreated, Yun Ying immediately closed the palace door. Huang Wujin had already injected his true energy into the image-retaining crystal.

"Buzz!"

The image-retaining crystal vibrated, and a curtain of light shot out, forming a silver screen inside the palace, with a picture flashing on it.

In the dim environment, a man and a woman were talking about something. After a while, the man became angry and a whip filled with thunder energy appeared in his hand.

"Clap clap clap..."

The whip had strange runes on it and it kept whipping the woman, making her feel dizzy and she fell to the ground after a few lashes.

After dozens of whips, a sound was heard.

"Master! You are the master!"

"I was wrong, ah! Master, I was wrong!"

……

The tragic cry for mercy echoed in the hall. Although the face could not be seen clearly, the voice was clearly Huang Wujin's!
Cui Xuanyu couldn't help but gasp. She had been wondering why Huang Wujin insisted on killing Meng Chen. It turned out that this was the crux of the matter!
Cui Xuanyu could recognize the man in the picture just by looking at his back. Isn’t he Meng Chen?

I never thought that he could be so brave that he could whip the high and mighty empress until she begged for mercy and called him master.

Yun Ying's face was filled with anger, with murderous intent between her brows. If Meng Chen was in front of her, he would have been pierced with hundreds of transparent holes by her Divine Flame Spear.

"Oh!"

With a loud bang, Huang Wujin crushed the image crystal. The face under the mask was terribly dark, and the evil spirit was filled with murderous intent, which made the temperature of the entire Taiqing Palace drop to an extremely low point. Cui Xuanyu was so cold that he couldn't help shivering.

Huang Wujin was furious, but he did not curse. He silently picked up the letter, which contained the words that Meng Chen wanted to take.

"Dear Queen, you don't want the whole East Phoenix Territory to see you kneeling down and begging for mercy, right? Within three days after receiving this letter, terminate all efforts to capture me, and let Cui Xuanyu and Cui Dongsheng go. Otherwise... you know I can do anything!"

Huang Wujin read the letter in silence, and then a ball of fire ignited in his palm, burning the letter into ashes.

She sat in silence, her eyes beneath the mask sharp and cold.

After a long, long time, Cui Xuanyu and Yun Ying didn't know how long they had been waiting, Huang Wujin finally spoke:

"Cancel the pursuit of Meng Chen. There is no need to look for him anymore. Also... lift the imprisonment of Cui Dongsheng and Cui Xuanyu. They are only allowed to move within the imperial city."

Yun Ying was surprised, but did not dare to ask more questions. He said respectfully, "I obey your command!" Huang Wujin's gaze then fell on Cui Xuanyu. His cold gaze made Cui Xuanyu feel cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Cui Xuanyu, tell Meng Chen that this matter is not over yet, he will definitely pay the price for what he did!"

Cui Xuanyu bowed respectfully and then left in a hurry. She could feel that Huang Wujin was trying his best to suppress his anger. If she stayed here to continue the negotiations, she was afraid that if she was not careful, her anger would erupt and burn her to ashes.

After Cui Xuanyu left Taiqing Palace, Huang Wujin slammed his hands on the table, and the purple wood engraved with runes shattered.

"Meng Chen! Shameless! Despicable! Vulgar! Dirty! Filthy!"

Huang Wujin was extremely terrifying in her furious state. The Phoenix Divine Flame suddenly erupted, and the space within ten meters around her was burning. The scorching flames devoured everything. She stood in the center, like a big sun, bright and hot.

After Cui Xuanyu hurriedly left the palace, she returned to the villa. When Cui Dongsheng saw her, he hurried up to ask about the situation.

Cui Xuanyu recalled the murderous look in Huang Wujin's eyes at that time, but he didn't dare to tell his father about what he saw in the photos. Otherwise, if Huang Wujin planned to silence him one day, his old father might also die with him.

"The negotiation didn't go smoothly at first, but Meng Chen solved it in his own way, without me or the Cui family having to make any concessions."

Cui Dongsheng was very confused after hearing this. What method could actually be stronger than the half of the Cui family that he had suppressed...

But no matter how he asked, Cui Xuanyu remained tight-lipped. It was basically impossible to get information from his daughter.

He shut up helplessly. It would be best if they could solve it themselves. It seemed like he didn't need to worry about it.

In the evening, the withdrawal of the wanted warrant for Meng Chen was completely implemented, and Meng Chen also swaggered into the courtyard where Cui Dongsheng was imprisoned.

Cui Dongsheng was so shocked when he saw Meng Chen coming that he sat up suddenly: "You... why are you here! Although the court has revoked the arrest warrant, you can't show up! What if the emperor changes his mind, you will be trapped!"

Cui Xuanyu heard the scream and ran out of the room. Seeing that it was Meng Chen, he rushed over and threw himself into Meng Chen's arms.

"How could you take such a risk! How could you enter the imperial city! What if she saw you and killed you? What would you let me do?"

While Cui Xuanyu was scolding, tears fell freely, and soon soaked Meng Chen's clothes.

"It's okay. I'm fine!" Meng Chen comforted.

Cui Xuanyu was really worried. The murderous intent and determination released by Huang Wujin frightened her. If Meng Chen was discovered, he would really have no way out.

Fortunately, fortunately it's all over now.

Cui Dongsheng frowned and gritted his teeth. His darling daughter, whom he had pampered for so many years, was abducted by this powerless guy. Damn it!

After hugging for a while, Cui Dongsheng couldn't bear it anymore and pretended to cough a few times. Cui Xuanyu then realized with surprise that his father was still here!
She blushed, wiped her tears, lowered her head, turned around and ran back to her room.

After Meng Chen got free, he sat on the stone bench opposite Cui Dongsheng.

"Father-in-law, what are your plans now?"

Cui Dongsheng leaned back in the rocking chair, remained silent for a while, and then spoke bitterly: "The end of the family has come. With your relationship, I may be able to preserve the ancestral tablets, but from now on... the family will no longer be a family."
