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

Chen Tanyan sat on a rattan chair in the study, holding a chess piece in his hand and frowning.

Outside the study window, the moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the bluestone path, and there was silence.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps, and a guard rushed in with an expression of joy that was hard to conceal on his face.

"Master, good news! The young lady...she escaped from Cao Mo's clutches!" the guard said breathlessly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tanyan dropped the chess piece in his hand suddenly, and the situation on the chessboard was reversed instantly.

He stood up, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "Did Yuchen really escape? Has her power recovered?"

The guards nodded repeatedly: "Yes, sir. The young lady not only escaped, but also seemed to have recovered her strength. Cao Mo's men could not stop her at all."

After hearing this, Chen Tanyan showed a long-lost smile on his face. The big stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground. His daughter Su Yuchen was his beloved and the hope for the future of their palace.

She was originally the girl of destiny, but she had lost her power in the previous battle, which made Chen Tanyan worried.

Now, knowing that his daughter's power has recovered, how could he not be happy?

However, just as Chen Tanyan was immersed in joy, a cold voice broke the warm atmosphere.

Liu Wenjin walked slowly into the study room with a hint of disdain on his face: "Your Majesty, don't forget our previous agreement. Although Yuchen has escaped from Cao Mo's clutches, we haven't yet completed what she asked."

Chen Tanyan turned around and looked at Liu Wenjin's indifferent face, and the joy in his heart disappeared in an instant.

He took a deep breath and tried to keep his tone calm: "Wenjin, Yuchen just escaped. Isn't it a bit of a spoiler for you to bring this up now?"

Liu Wenjin sneered, "It's a real bummer? Isn't what I said true? Although Yuchen has escaped, her conditions have not been met yet. Don't even think about letting her return to the palace."

Chen Tanyan's face darkened. He knew Su Yuchen's character. Once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

However, asking him to kill the people in the mansion with his own hands was undoubtedly a huge test for him.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Wenjin, can you give me some time to buffer? Yuchen just experienced a life-and-death catastrophe, I don't want to think about these problems at this time."

Liu Wenjin raised his eyebrows, seeming a little impatient: "Your Highness, don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You want to delay time, but as the time for your uprising is getting closer, if you don't make a decision, the girl of destiny will not return to the palace willingly."

Chen Tanyan felt bitter when he heard this.

He knew that Liu Wenjin was telling the truth. Her strength was unfathomable. If she really got angry, the entire mansion would probably be in danger.

However, it was undoubtedly a torture for him to kill the people in the mansion with his own hands.

He was caught in a dilemma. On one side was the girl of destiny, and on the other side was the one who wanted to kill his own family.

The atmosphere in the study room suddenly became tense, and the two people's eyes met in the air, as if sparks were flying.

"My Lord, please think about it carefully."

Liu Wenjin turned and left, and the study room returned to peace again.

Chen Tanyan stood alone in front of the window, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, his heart was filled with confusion.

He didn't know whether his choice was right, nor did he know what challenges he would face in the future.

However, he knew that no matter what, he had to take Su Yuchen home.

at this time.

The guard hurried to the study and reported nervously, "Master, Miss Su is back, and she brought a strange man with her."

Chen Tanyan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he stood up quickly: "Yuchen is back? Come on, follow me to greet her!"

As he spoke, he walked out of the study quickly, his joy on his face evident.

However, when Chen Tanyan saw Su Yuchen, he found that there was no joy on her face, but rather she looked cold as ice.

Next to her stood a handsome stranger, and the two of them stood side by side, like a perfect match.

Chen Tanyan's heart sank, but he still kept a smile on his face and walked forward: "Yuchen, it's great that you're back!"

Su Yuchen just looked at him coldly and said nothing.

She turned to the man next to her and said, "This is my father, Chen Tanyan."

The man nodded slightly, clasped his fists towards Chen Tanyan and said, "My name is Chu Xuanhao, nice to meet you, Your Majesty."

Although Chen Tanyan was somewhat unhappy, he still politely responded, "Mr. Chu, you are too polite. Please follow me into the mansion for a chat."

However, Su Yuchen interrupted him: "No need, I came here to tell you something."

Her tone was cold and distant, as if there was an insurmountable gap between her and Chen Tanyan.

Chen Tanyan felt a pain in his heart, but he still tried to stay calm: "Yuchen, just tell me what you want to say. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Su Yuchen took a deep breath and said slowly: "I will return to the palace in three days. But the previous things must also be done within these three days."

Chen Tanyan's heart tightened, but he still nodded: "Three days? Isn't that too short a time?"

"This is the final deadline." Su Yuchen's voice was cold and firm.

Chen Tanyan was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't expect Su Yuchen to push him so hard, which made him feel very embarrassed.

He knew that the people in the mansion were all his relatives and subordinates. How could he act so easily?

However, looking at Su Yuchen's cold and determined eyes, Chen Tanyan knew that he could not refuse.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Who do you want me to kill in such a short time?"

Su Yuchen said straightforwardly: "Call all the throwers together, and I will call out their names, and kill whoever I call out!"

Chen Tanyan hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "Yuchen, you know what you mean to me, but the people in the mansion mean the same thing. I..."

"I know." Su Yuchen interrupted him, "But you have to do this. Otherwise, I will not return to this palace, and I will not recognize you as my father anymore."

Chen Tanyan felt a pain in his heart. He looked at his daughter's cold and determined eyes and knew that she was not joking.

He was caught in a dilemma: on one side was his daughter's determination, and on the other side was the future development of the palace.

How should he choose?

At this time, Chu Xuanhao spoke up: "Prince Chen, I understand your difficulties. However, I hope you can understand how much you owe Yu Chen. No matter how much you do, it is just to make up for it."

Chen Tanyan was shocked when he heard this. He also knew that Chu Xuanhao's words made sense.

Chen Tanyan took a deep breath and then slowly said, "Okay, I promise you. But I need time to arrange everything. Three days later, when you return to the palace, I will give you a satisfactory answer."

Su Yuchen and Chu Xuanhao looked at each other and nodded.

They knew that Chen Tanyan had made his decision and they had achieved the purpose of their trip.
