Outside the West Imperial City is Yuanlin Mountain.

This mountain was originally nameless, but because one year when Queen Xi went to this mountain to see the scenery on her birthday, Emperor Xi gave this mountain a name:

Yuanlin Mountain.

The people of the Western Dynasty all said that the emperor and empress loved each other very much, and this mountain was the proof.

Little did they know that Lin Yuan climbed the mountain that year just to see another man.

Twenty years ago, Lin Yuan descended from Feixian Peak and came to the Western Dynasty, just to support a puppet emperor to take the throne and consolidate Feixian Pavilion's control over the Western Dynasty.

For this, she sacrificed her innocence and married Wu Zheng.

Later, Emperor Wu Zheng's throne was stable and there were more and more beauties in his harem.

Lin Yuan was arrogant and looked down upon Wu Zheng more and more.

However, due to her master's orders, she could only continue to be friendly with Wu Zhengxu, but she had no one to vent her distress.

On her birthday that year, she didn't want to face Wu Zheng's miserable appearance in the palace again.

So she went out to play alone, came to a mountain, and met an ordinary man.

The two drank under the moon and hit it off immediately. Lin Yuan poured out all the depression she had been feeling for years. The man knew that she was the Queen of the West, but he remained calm and treated her as an ordinary woman.

Lin Yuan had never met such a man before, and they fell in love at first sight.

After returning to the palace, Lin Yuan could not forget this man, so she sent someone to find out where the man lived.

She made excuses to leave the palace several times and disguised herself as an ordinary woman to meet men by chance.

Gradually, their love grew deeper, and on a moonlit night, Lin Yuan gave her body and soul to this man.

Later, Lin Yuan gave birth to a daughter for the man, but raised her in the palace and lied that she was born to the Western Emperor Wu Zheng.

The mountain named "Yuanlin Mountain" by the Western Emperor was the place where Lin Yuan and the man met for the first time.

At this time, the two met at the top of the mountain.

But it was a man who was reunited with another woman and his daughter.

But the scene of this family reunion was not warm.

Bang bang bang!

"My dear husband, I am wrong. Ah! Please forgive me!"

Black Phoenix knelt on the ground, and Chen Qingmo swung the Thorn Whip, continuously whipping her back.

Chen Qingmo's face was calm, but he showed no mercy when he attacked. Deep whip marks appeared on the snow-white back of Hei Huang under her torn clothes.

"Qingyu was seriously injured and almost lost his life. It almost caused a big event. Huang'er, have I been too indulgent towards you over the years?"

Bang!

"Ah! I'm sorry, my husband. I was careless! I am heartbroken to see my daughter so badly injured. I will kill Liusu right now to avenge my daughter!"

"Shut up!"

Chen Qingmo whipped the Black Phoenix again, causing its body to tremble and it dared not speak again.

It is hard to imagine that the ancient divine phoenix with its unparalleled power could be as humble as a slave in front of a man.

Chen Qingmo looked coldly at Cheng Qingyu who was still unconscious on the ground, and said indifferently:

"She was allowed to obtain the Immortal Jade Token, but was defeated by a little maid. She is so useless. Like mother, like daughter. If I had known this, I should have kept Zhu Yinrong."

"Husband, don't abandon us mother and daughter. If you want to replenish the soul seal, wait for those three people to come down from Feixian Pavilion, and I will help you grab it!"

Chen Qingmo sneered: "Qiu Zhihe defeated the Divine Soul with her Nascent Soul, can you beat her?"

"this……"

Black Phoenix lowered his head, speechless. After a moment, he asked unwillingly:

"My husband, who is Qiu Zhihe? Why do you want to arrest her? Are you sure about her..."

Chen Qingmo looked down at the Black Phoenix kneeling on the ground and said calmly:

"You will know when the time comes. Anyway, Qiu Zhihe will definitely take the Soul-Replenishing Seal when she enters Feixian Pavilion. I will take both her and the seal away then."

Black Phoenix looked at Cheng Qingyu, whose face was pale, and a look of distress flashed across his face. He said to Chen Qingmo:

"Husband, let's go home first and heal Yu'er, shall we?"

Chen Qingmo glanced at Cheng Qingyu and said, "Don't worry, just find a place nearby to heal her."

Black Phoenix looked at the beautiful scenery around him, bit his lip, and suddenly asked:

"Husband, is this the place where you met Lin Yuan? Are you...waiting for her?"

Chen Qingmo had a calm expression, with his hands behind his back, looking at the bright sky:

"My bond with her began here, and it should end here."

Then he looked towards the towering West Imperial City in the distance, with a look of sneer on his face:

"The fun is about to begin."

…

West Palace.

The golden carriage stopped in front of the Phoenix Palace.

The eunuch stepped forward and lifted the curtain, and Lin Yuan stepped down from the imperial carriage.

"The Queen."

Wu Zheng, who was sitting in the imperial carriage, spoke:

"Thank you so much for all these years. Go back and have a good rest."

Lin Yuan smiled gently: "It is my duty to share your majesty's worries."

Then he turned and walked towards Fengdian, and the smile on his face turned cold.

The curtain of the imperial carriage closed, and the gentle expression on Wu Zheng's face turned fierce.

The imperial carriage went to Tianwu Hall.

Lin Yuan went to Feng Palace.

The two parted ways.

Lin Yuan came to the Phoenix Palace, frowned slightly, and asked the palace maid beside her:

"Where are the people guarding the temple?"

There were always her trusted palace maids guarding in front of the Phoenix Palace, but at this moment the palace maids were nowhere to be seen.

At this time, a eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor has prepared a gift for you in the Phoenix Palace. He wants to give you a surprise, so he sent the maid away."

Lin Yuan looked at him and asked, "What gift?"

The eunuch smiled and said, "The Emperor ordered that you must not tell your Majesty in advance, saying that if you knew, there would be no surprise. Your Majesty, the Emperor has been preparing this gift for a long time, and you will definitely like it."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment, nodded, and walked into the Phoenix Palace.

The eunuch bowed and left, walked to the outside of the Phoenix Palace, and whispered to the eunuchs guarding outside:

"Go and report to His Majesty immediately. The witch queen has fallen into the trap."

Not far from the Phoenix Palace.

The second prince Wu Taizheng said respectfully to Si Minglan:

"Master, I have already given the order. Once I enter the Phoenix Palace for an incense stick, the palace's formation will be closed. When you take action, I will pretend to protect Lin Yuan and wait for the opportunity to strike."

Si Minglan nodded: "Go ahead."

"yes!"

After Wu Tai left, Si Minglan said to Fang Xue and the others, "Wait until the palace formation is lifted, and then you can cause chaos. Remember not to reveal your identity."

Fang Xue said worriedly, "Third Senior Sister, can I help you?"

Si Minglan raised her hand and touched her head, smiling and said, "This is my revenge. It's enough that you can help me get here."

After she finished speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared.

Phoenix Palace.

Lin Yuan walked in slowly and said to the palace maid beside her:

"Notify the Golden Snake Guards and prepare to take action."

"yes."

The palace maid looked around and suddenly whispered, "Senior Sister, something seems to be wrong."

Lin Yuan was silent, and when she looked up she saw a scroll hanging on the ceiling of the Feng Palace.

Seeing her come in, the scroll suddenly unfolded, revealing a huge painting.

The painting shows a beautiful mountain with a graceful and beautiful woman on the top. In front of the woman is an elegant scholar dressed in cloth.

It was exactly the scene when Lin Yuan and Zhou Qing first met at Yuanlin Mountain.

But how could such a painting appear in the palace?

Is this the surprise Wu Zheng gave her?

Lin Yuan's face changed.

“Who is it?!”
