The Northern Yuan Dynasty was in a stalemate with its ministers as it suspended court.

Just when he was struggling, the envoy from the Wu Kingdom arrived.

When Bei Yuanzheng saw the content of the letter asking for surrender, he was suddenly shaken.

If he ascends the throne, the Northland will still be the Northland, and it will still be the territory built by Bei Yanming. But if he really does it at all costs, then the Northland will become a vassal of the Wu Kingdom, and Bei Yanming will not be able to rest in peace even after his death.

When Bei Yuanzheng appeared again at the morning court, not only the civil and military officials of the north were waiting for him, but also the envoys from the Wu Kingdom.

The civil and military officials of the North surrounded the envoys from the Wu Kingdom, looking as if they wanted to eat them. Who made the Wu Kingdom make such a suggestion?

The envoy from the Wu Kingdom was not panicked. Before he came, the emperor had already predicted that his trip might not be successful, so he was told to just deliver the letter and he would not be punished whether it succeeded or not.

Bei Yuanzheng's appearance broke the stalemate between the two sides and attracted everyone's attention.

Bei Yuanzheng's attire today was somewhat inappropriate for etiquette. As he was the crown prince, he could only wear a four-clawed robe, but Bei Yuanzheng was wearing a black dragon robe today.

"Emissary from Wu Country!" Bei Yuan was sitting on the dragon throne and said in a deep voice, "Please report to the Emperor of Wu Country. I'm sorry that Beidi cannot obey your order. Because from today on, my father is no longer the Underworld Emperor of Beidi, but the Emperor Emeritus of Beidi!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials broke into smiles, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live the king!"

The Northern Envoy was calm and took out another letter from his pocket. "In that case, I have another letter here from the Queen of Wu."

"Present it!" Bei Yuanzheng's eyes were filled with tenderness when he heard this.

The letter was indeed written by Su Bei, and the handwriting was as if he were seeing the person himself. Bei Yuanzheng was reading it, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

In the letter, Su Bei said that he was a descendant of the Snow Girl of Beidi, and that he and Bei Yuan were cousins. He hoped that Beidi and Wu Kingdom would have eternal friendship, so that the world would be peaceful and the people could live in safety.

This is what Su Bei wished, what Chu Younan wished, and what Bei Yuanzheng wished as well.

"Go back and tell the Emperor and Empress of Wu that I have accepted this request, but I ask the Emperor of Wu to treat the Emperor of Beidi well!" Bei Yuanzheng finished speaking, and added, "Tell my cousin that peace in the world and the safety of the people are also what I wish for."

When saying this, Bei Yuanzheng looked extremely gentle.

No one knows that when he didn't know that girl was his cousin, he had felt a little moved by her...

But the girl was already married, and since they were in harmony, he could only protect her silently.

When the news reached Wu Country, it was already late autumn. Bei Yanming had been locked in a black iron cage for more than half a year.

A cage can hold a trapped beast, but it cannot hold Bei Yanming's ambition to unify the world. He always thinks about how wise his decision was to make Bei Yuanzheng the crown prince.

Bei Yuan is a filial son. Knowing that his father is trapped, he will do his best to rescue him. As long as his father can be returned to the north, within three to five years, he will regroup and take over the Wu Kingdom in one fell swoop!

At that time, he would make two black iron cages, one for Chu Younan and one for Su Bei, so that the two of them could look at each other from afar, but could never be together again! For a lifetime!

No! We need to make more! Lock up all their children! The whole family is in the cage, staring at each other, and watching each other suffer humiliation!

The more I think about it, the better it feels! Bei Yanming actually had a dream. In the dream, Chu Younan begged him like a dog to let his wife and children go. Su Bei shamelessly tried to use himself to buy freedom. Several children even called him dad just to eat barbecue...

But the beautiful dream didn't last long. When Chu Younan was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy in the dream, Bei Yanming suddenly heard a voice...

"The Emperor..."

Bei Yanming was a martial artist with a very sharp hearing. Although the sound was not loud, he woke up immediately...

Outside the cage, Chu Younan and Su Bei stood hand in hand. It was obviously Su Bei who made the sound just now.

"Uncle, congratulations on your promotion to the position of emperor!" Su Bei said, shaking a piece of paper in his hand.

The paper was ordinary paper, the words were ordinary words, but the bright seal on it looked very familiar to Bei Yanming...

It seems to be the jade seal of the north...

"What are you talking about?!" Bei Yanming pounced on the side of the cage, his scarlet eyes wide open.

Su Bei unfolded the letter of credence and put it in front of him, "Take a look for yourself."

Bei Yanming knew every word, but he spent a long time reading it before he finally understood its meaning...

"The Crown Prince ascends the throne and makes the Dark Emperor the Supreme Emperor. The Northern Land and the Wu Kingdom will forever form a friendly alliance and will never offend each other. The world will be peaceful and the people will live in peace..."

Bei Yanming was struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground...

"What about me? Yuanzheng doesn't want to save me?" he murmured.

"My cousin is a very filial person." Su Bei said seriously, "He asked me and the emperor to take good care of my uncle. So I thought about it. The weather is getting colder and it would be too cold for my uncle to live in a cage. How about..."

Bei Yanming stared at her, waiting for what to come.

Su Bei continued: "Why not have someone add a few more quilts and wrap the cage up, it will be much warmer this way."

After that, she said with an apologetic look, "Uncle, please don't blame me. It's not that I'm unfilial. It's mainly because you are too skilled in martial arts and too ambitious. For the sake of the people of the world, I have to put you in an awkward position. But don't worry, there are enough quilts. If the quilts are not warm enough, I will have someone build a house outside this cage."

Bei Yanming felt a mouthful of blood rushing to his brain. His eyes went dark and he spat out a mouthful of blood, then fell sideways in the cage.

"Oh! Call King Zunyi quickly!" Su Bei hurriedly ordered.

Chu Younan just watched coldly without saying a word.

Although it was not appropriate to kill Bei Yanming, he actually did not want to leave this trouble behind. This was also good...

Su Xiujie entered the palace overnight, looking exhausted.

"Brother, where have you been? Why aren't you sleeping so late at night?" Su Bei asked with concern.

Su Xiujie felt Bei Yanming's pulse through the cage and complained, "It's all your fault for playing mahjong. Old man Jiang is addicted to it and keeps asking me to play mahjong with him all day long..."

"Uh..." Su Bei laughed awkwardly, "It's too peaceful. I'm a little bored... So, did you lose to old man Jiang? How about I reward you more..."

"No, no! I didn't lose..." Su Xiujie said, frowning, "The Dark Emperor... uh no, the Northern Emperor is not in good condition. His pulse shows that there is congestion in his brain. I'm afraid it's..."

"Ah? Not really? I'll have someone prepare the coffin right away." Su Bei said hurriedly.

"No, no, no, it's not that serious. It's just that he may not be able to move around as freely in the future. I'll prescribe some medicine for him, and then help with acupuncture..."

"Ah? Can it be okay?" Su Bei's tone seemed a little regretful.

Su Xiujie shook his head, "It's impossible to cure him, but I hope he won't die..."

Chu Younan's lips curled up slightly. The powerful Hades Emperor probably never dreamed that he would end up like this...
