After the whole family went crazy and criticized the movie "Read My Mind", the heroine

Chen Yunling immediately asked Chen Tanyan for help: "Dad, my mother has worked diligently for the palace in the past few years and has never made any mistakes. If you execute her, it will attract gossip."

Ye Guyan added appropriately: "Isn't it a big offense to frame my son?"

Inside the ancestral hall, the air seemed to be frozen.

Chen Tanyan also glanced at Ye Guyan with a complaining look, and then looked at Su Yuchen awkwardly, but when he was about to say something, he was ruthlessly interrupted.

Su Yuchen's words were like a cold sword, pointing directly at Chen Tanyan's heart: "If you don't kill Liu Mei, I will never recognize you as my father, and I will never return to the palace."

Every word Su Yuchen said was like a carefully carved icicle, exuding a chilling chill.

Chen Tanyan's face was pale and his hands were shaking.

"You... do you really want to force me like this?" Chen Tanyan's voice was filled with endless bitterness.

"Force you? I'm just making my own choice." There was no wavering in Su Yuchen's eyes.

Chen Tanyan was silent for a moment, and he took a deep breath, as if to calm himself down. He knew that Su Yuchen's decision would not change, and he had to choose between the "big plan" and family affection.

"Okay, I promise you." Chen Tanyan's voice was low and weak, "In order for you to return to the palace, I will... I will execute Liu Mei."

Liu Mei stood trembling in the middle of the hall, fear in her eyes and her body trembling slightly as if out of fear.

She stared at Chen Tanyan, her tone tearful: "Prince, you...you actually want to kill me for an illegitimate daughter?"

Chen Tanyan looked at Liu Mei expressionlessly, his eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a stranger. He spoke slowly, and every word revealed his unquestionable determination: "Who doesn't bleed when they accomplish great things? Liu Mei, you should know that since you had an affair with Caihuafeng, you are no longer my Chen Tanyan's."

"Your Highness, I..." Liu Mei wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Chen Tanyan's wave of his hand.

"Don't say any more." Chen Tanyan's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air around him. "Your betrayal must be repaid with your blood."

At this moment, Chen Yunling suddenly rushed out from the crowd. He tried to stand in front of Liu Mei to block Chen Tanyan's anger for her.

But Chen Tanyan just looked at his son with contempt, then waved his hand violently, and Chen Yunling fell to the ground as if hit by a huge hammer.

"Take him away." There was no emotion in Chen Tanyan's voice, as if he was just dealing with a trivial matter.

Then he looked around and ordered majestically: "All of you retreat, no one is allowed to come in without my order."

Everyone left, and only Su Yuchen and Liu Mei were left in the huge hall. Liu Mei had completely collapsed at this time. She knelt on her knees and begged with tears in her eyes: "My lord, please spare my life! I am willing to do anything for you!"

However, Chen Tanyan seemed not to hear her plea. He just looked at her coldly, as if waiting for something.

Su Yuchen stood aside, her face solemn, her eyes revealing an unquestionable determination. She looked at Liu Mei and slowly said, "Today, I must offer blood to sacrifice to my mother's spirit in heaven."

When Liu Mei heard Su Yuchen's words, it was as if she saw her last hope shattered.

She knew that she could no longer escape the fate of death. Her eyes became empty, as if she had given up all struggle.

She slowly closed her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. She knew she had no way out.

Chen Tanyan looked at Liu Mei's desperate expression, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart. But he quickly suppressed this emotion and said coldly: "Liu Mei, do you have any last words?"

Liu Mei slowly opened her eyes, her eyes became determined. She looked at Chen Tanyan deeply, and then said: "My Lord, I just hope you can understand that I have never betrayed you sincerely... All this must have been secretly planned by someone"

However, Chen Tanyan just looked at her coldly without any response.

Liu Mei knew that her words could no longer change his decision.

Chen Tanyan walked out of the ancestral hall with Su Yuchen with a serious expression.

Behind them were the whispers and complicated looks of their fellow tribesmen.

Liu Mei's death undoubtedly cast a heavy shadow on the entire palace.

"Liu Mei has worked hard for the palace, and everyone has seen it." Although Chen Tanyan's voice was calm, every word revealed unquestionable majesty. "Therefore, I decided to bury Liu Mei with honor, so that she can rest in peace in the other world."

At this moment, Chen Yunling suddenly rushed out of the crowd, his eyes red, and ran straight towards Su Yuchen.

In his opinion, it was Su Yuchen's appearance that led to his mother's death, and he wanted to avenge his mother.

However, his impulse did not work out as he wished. A large hand like an iron clamp suddenly stretched out and tightly grasped his neck.

Chen Yunling looked up in shock and saw Chu Xuanhao's cold eyes.

"You... who are you..." Chen Yunling struggled, but found that he could not move at all.

"If you move again, I will kill you." Chu Xuanhao's voice was cold and low, as if it came from the depths of hell.

His fingers tightened slightly, and Chen Yunling suddenly felt difficulty breathing and his face turned red.

The crowd around was stunned by this scene, and no one dared to step forward. In the eyes of everyone at this moment, Chu Xuanhao's strength was unfathomable, and no one dared to provoke him easily.

"Young Master Chu, please show mercy!" Chen Tanyan stepped forward and pleaded, "Yun Ling was just impulsive at the moment, please show mercy."

Chu Xuanhao glanced at Chen Tanyan and loosened his fingers slightly, but still did not completely let go of Chen Yunling.

He stared coldly into Chen Yunling's eyes, as if evaluating his behavior.

"Your mother's death has nothing to do with Su Yuchen." Chu Xuanhao said slowly, "If you mess around again, I will send you down to reunite with her."

Chen Yunling lowered his head, panting, and said nothing. He knew that there was a huge difference between him and Chu Xuanhao, but he also felt extremely humiliated when Chu Xuanhao grabbed his neck in public.

"Yun Ling, you have to remember that hatred cannot solve problems." Chen Tanyan stepped forward and patted Chen Yun Ling on the shoulder. "We are all very sad about your mother's death. But now, what we need to do is to let her rest in peace."

Chen Yunling looked up at Chen Tanyan, then at Chu Xuanhao, and finally nodded. He took a deep breath and calmed down his excitement.

"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry. I was impulsive." He apologized sincerely and slowly stood up.

Chu Xuanhao looked at him, a gleam of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"I'll leave the matters of Liu Mei's burial to you." Chen Tanyan said to Chen Yunling, "This is the last thing you do for your mother. I hope you can do your best."

Chen Yunling nodded solemnly.
