After Chu Heng left, Cheng Jiuyuan tightened his grip: "Tell me! Where is the person?"

"Rebellious... rebellious girl..."

Lin rushed over after hearing the news, and when she saw the scene, she screamed in fear.

"Yuan'er! Yuan'er, don't be impulsive. What on earth happened?"

Her face turned pale and her eyes were cold. She had never seen Cheng Jiuyuan like this before. Cheng Zongyang was completely powerless to fight back in her hands.

"Tell me! Where are my grandfather and the others?" Cheng Jiuyuan had only this question, and every time he asked it, the strength in his hands increased.

Lin was secretly worried, "Yuan'er, if you kill your father, your reputation will be ruined!"

A sneer appeared on Cheng Jiuyuan's lips.

reputation?

She doesn't care.

The Pei family is her weak spot and also her Achilles' heel.

Cheng Zongyang actually dared to touch the Pei family, he was simply seeking death.

Seeing that Cheng Jiuyuan couldn't be persuaded, Lin went to persuade Cheng Zongyang.

"Master, what does Yuan'er want to know? Just tell me now!"

"Rebellious girl, how dare you..." Cheng Zongyang's face had turned purple.

"See if I dare!"

The murderous intent in Cheng Jiuyuan's eyes frightened Cheng Zongyang.

Cheng Jiuyuan pushed Cheng Zongyang away, and Cheng Zongyang fell to the ground, coughing violently and breathing in big gulps of air.

After he recovered a little, he was about to order the guards to capture Cheng Jiuyuan, but when he turned around, he was faced with Cheng Jiuyuan's soft sword.

"If you don't tell me, I'll chop off your hands, feet, and ears..."

Cheng Jiuyuan raised his sword as he spoke. Cheng Zongyang's eyes widened, and when the sword was only an inch away from his hand, he screamed in surprise.

"I said!"

Cheng Jiuyuan paused and looked at him with cold eyes.

Cheng Zongyang quickly got up from the ground and suddenly rushed behind Lin.

Cheng Jiuyuan pointed his sword at Lin.

Lin waved her hands in panic: "Yuan'er! Yuan'er! This is none of my business!"

She didn't expect Cheng Zongyang to hide behind her. If she had known, she would have hidden in the backyard and not come out.

Cheng Zongyang regained some confidence and shouted to the guards around him, "Catch this rebellious girl!"

The guards rushed forward.

Cheng Jiuyuan took a glance, and when the guards came closer, he swung the soft sword in his hand, and his figure became a shadow in the encirclement.

It was the first time that Lin and Cheng Zongyang saw Cheng Jiuyuan take action, and both of them were terrified.

When Cheng Jiuyuan stood still, the guards fell to the ground one after another, and their lives were unknown.

Cheng Jiuyuan locked his eyes on Cheng Zongyang and slowly raised his sword: "It seems that you don't want to say it."

The voice was extremely light and cold, without a trace of emotion or warmth.

Cheng Jiuyuan swept away with a palm, and Lin screamed. When she opened her eyes, she was already standing far away, unharmed.

She patted her chest in fear. It was indeed a wise choice not to make enemies with Cheng Jiuyuan. As for Cheng Zongyang, he was dead. Cheng Jiuyuan didn't like this Xiangfu, which belonged to her and her son.

The shield in front of him suddenly disappeared, and Cheng Zongyang panicked. He wanted to escape, but his feet seemed to be rooted and he could not move. He could only watch Cheng Jiuyuan approach.

"I'll tell you! It was indeed me who sent people to Gusu to invite your grandparents in your name. But after arriving in the capital, they were taken away by Prince Rui! I don't know where they are either."

Cheng Jiuyuan paused and frowned.

Chu Ze?

"What does he want?"

After witnessing the terror of Cheng Jiuyuan, Cheng Zongyang dared not hide it anymore.

"He said that he has you in his heart and he won't do anything to your grandfather and the others. He just wants you to be obedient and not go against him."

"When he has dealt with Chu Heng, your grandparents will return safely. Ni... Yuan'er, don't be stubborn anymore. Prince Rui is sincere to you. Even if he becomes the emperor, you will still be the honorable queen. What's wrong with that?"

Cheng Jiuyuan curled up the corner of his mouth in a sneer and slowly raised the sword in his hand.

"you dare!"

Cheng Jiuyuan raised his sword and slashed it, then turned around and walked out of the prime minister's residence in a cool manner.

Cheng Zongyang only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and blood instantly soaked his clothes.

"Call the doctor quickly!"

Cheng Jiuyuan did not kill Cheng Zongyang. Although she did not care about her reputation, patricide was a heinous crime and she could not let her mother be stabbed in the back.

Cheng Zongyang deserves to die, she will make him live a life worse than death!

After Cheng Jiuyuan learned that her grandparents were not in danger for the time being, she rushed to the palace first.

If something happens to the emperor, Chu Ze will have the opportunity to take advantage of it. If Chu Ze sits on the throne, it will be a catastrophe.

Before reaching the palace gate, I ran into Chu Ze who was walking towards me.

Thinking that this person had set his sights on the Pei family, she moved her fingertips.

"Miss Cheng, please don't act rashly." Chu Ze still smiled very gently, "I know that you are a disciple of Yan Guihong, the Judge of Life and Death. If I feel unwell in any way, Miss Cheng will not be able to see the two elders of the Pei family."

Chu Ze was also very shocked. If he hadn't heard it from the two elders of the Pei family, he was afraid that he would never be able to find out that Cheng Jiuyuan was actually the apprentice of the Judge of Life and Death.

No wonder Chu Heng’s heir-killing poison could be cured, and no wonder my father’s health is getting better day by day.

Cheng Jiuyuan stopped what he was doing and his eyes were cold.

"Since you know that I am the disciple of the Judge of Life and Death, don't mess with me and the people around me. Otherwise, if I die inexplicably one day, you won't be able to find the reason."

Chu Ze shook his folding fan with a calm expression.

"I dare to come to see you alone, which means I have made all the preparations. If I die or feel uncomfortable, I will take my revenge on the two elders of the Pei family."

“Of course, if the second Miss Cheng can be more obedient, the two elders of the Pei family will be my distinguished guests. After all, they will be my grandparents in the future…” Chu Ze said as he approached Cheng Jiuyuan and reached out to touch Cheng Jiuyuan’s hair fearlessly.

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't dare to gamble with the safety of her grandparents and suppressed the urge to poison Chu Ze.

But seeing that he was getting closer, he slapped him away with his palm.

The palm wind was fierce. If Chu Ze had not dodged quickly, he would have been seriously injured.

"My request is very simple. As long as Miss Cheng does not interfere in the feud between me and Chu Heng, and stays in the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can meet the two elders of the Pei family after the dust settles. I also promise you that as long as you do not get involved, the two elders of the Pei family will not lose a single hair."

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Ze coldly.

He was certain that she couldn't find her grandparents.

She glanced in the direction of the palace. The medicine she gave Chu Heng could save the emperor's life.

Once she rescues her grandparents, Chu Ze will die!

Cheng Jiuyuan turned and left. Chu Ze looked at her back with a determined look in his eyes.
