The outside of the Qinzheng Hall was still empty and cold, and the guards stood far away in the open space outside the Qinzheng Hall with big knives on their waists, staring at the endless darkness and lonely night sky around them with eagle-like eyes.

Gonggong Qi was guarding outside the door of the main hall, and when he saw Zhou Changying coming, he hurriedly greeted him, made a salute, and said respectfully: "The slave sees Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"

Zhou Changying nodded, did not stop, and continued to walk towards the Qinzheng Hall with a cold face. Feng Zhanggong, Lin Wan, and Qingtong followed closely behind her,

Seeing this, Gonggong Qi's face changed greatly, and he didn't dare to stop him, if he was beaten by the eldest princess, no one would dare to give him a head. I had no choice but to follow behind, and said in embarrassment: "Your Royal Highness, eldest princess, do you have anything important to do with the emperor?

Zhou Changying didn't stop, glared at Father-in-law Qi, and didn't speak, but he had already scared Father-in-law Qi.

It was only after walking to the door of the Qinzheng Hall that Gonggong Qi finally made up his mind to catch up, stopped in front of Zhou Changying, knelt down on his knees, and shouted loudly: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the emperor is discussing very important matters with His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince inside, please wait a moment, and allow the slave to go in." Please ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to feel sorry for the slave, the emperor has confessed, no one is allowed to disturb, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess ......"

Zhou Changying stopped in front of Gonggong Qi, glanced at him coldly, and then raised his eyes to look at the gate of the Qinzheng Palace. The people inside must have heard the voice of Gonggong Qi just now, just waiting for Zhou Changan to speak.

Sure enough, Zhou Chang'an's voice came from the hall, and his voice was full of displeasure, but he also knew that Gonggong Qi couldn't stop Zhou Changying, so he had to say in a deep voice: "Since the imperial sister is here, please come in!"

Father-in-law Qi got up as if relieved, pushed the door of the Qinzheng Hall open, made a gesture of please to Zhou Changying, and respectfully stepped aside.

Zhou Changying turned his head and glanced at Lin Wan and said, "You come in with me, A-Yao, you two are waiting outside." ”

Gonggong Qi glanced at Lin Wan suspiciously, wondering why Zhou Changying only brought this little palace maid into the Qinzheng Palace. Father-in-law Qi hesitated whether to stop Lin Wan, but he didn't dare, just as he was about to speak, Zhou Changying and Lin Wan had already entered the Qinzheng Palace, and it was too late to stop him.

Seeing that Zhou Changan did not blame himself for Zhou Changying bringing someone in, Father-in-law Qi breathed a sigh of relief, silently closed the door of the Shangqin Palace, and was puzzled in his heart, and continued to guard outside the hall with great anxiety.

In the main hall, Zhou Changan stood with his hands in his hands, his face was serious, his eyes were full of anger, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Zhou Changying and Lin Wan, the two uninvited guests.

Zhou Tianqi stood in front of Zhou Chang'an with his back to the door, his head bowed slightly, standing motionless, and did not speak, and the hall was so quiet that it made people feel colder than outside.

Lin Wan stood by the door, hiding himself in the shadows, trying not to attract anyone's attention. However, Zhou Changan's gaze still swept over, making her heart beat like thunder, her brain was running rapidly, and she hesitated whether to show up at this moment?

"Qi'er, why are you here?What's going on?Did you make your father angry?" Zhou Changying walked up to Zhou Tianqi's side and asked softly. The voice echoed in the empty hall, successfully attracting Zhou Changan's attention again.

Zhou Tianqi bowed respectfully to Zhou Changying, and replied without concealment: "Qi'er has seen the emperor's aunt, and Qi'er is unwilling to marry the second miss of the Lu family, so it makes my father angry." ”

Zhou Changying nodded slightly, but he didn't agree, and twisted his eyebrows and reproached: "Tomorrow is the day of your wedding, is it too late for you to come tonight to ask your father to take back your fate?

Zhou Tianqi was stunned, and what Zhou Changying said was reasonable, making him unable to argue for a while. raised his head and glanced at Zhou Changying painfully, and said aggrievedly: "Aunt Huang, Qi'er has already told her father that Qi'er will never marry the second miss of the Lu family as a concubine." However, this time, Qi'er was far away in the northern Xinjiang, and his father insisted on going his own way and forcibly issued this holy decree, and it was too late for Qi'er to know it. Aunt Huang, please help Qi'er......"

"Nonsense! As a prince, how can you rely on your own mind for a major marriage matter? The imperial court is in a turbulent period, and the four countries are eyeing each other, how can you gain a foothold in the court if you don't marry Lu Manting? How will you share your worries in the future? The Lu family now fully supports your third brother, if you don't marry Lu Manting, how can you compete with your third brother? Do you want to watch the Zhou family change their name and surname?" Zhou Chang'an suddenly glared at him, angrily reprimanded Zhou Tianqi, and said, he couldn't help coughing twice: "Cough...... Ahem......"

Lin Wan couldn't help but be shocked, raised his head, and looked at Zhou Changan's face, which was really not as good as before, his eyes were red, his face was gray, his lips were blue, and he was so dry that he was peeling. Although Lin Wan's medical skills have only been learned for a while, it can also be seen that Zhou Changan's body must have something wrong.

According to the plot, it should be a few years before Zhou Changan has symptoms, but since Lin Wan came to this world, many things have been advanced, which always caught Lin Wan off guard. Is it because Zhou Changan knows that time is running out, so he wants Zhou Tianqi to marry Lu Manting so that he can compete with Zhou Tianzheng for the throne?

Did Zhou Changan want to support Zhou Tianqi because he didn't want the Lu family to take over the Zhou family? Or did he want Zhou Tianqi and Zhou Tianzheng to compete for the throne, contain the Lu family, weaken or disperse the Lu family's power, and finally achieve his goal of consolidating his imperial power?

Zhou Tianqi suddenly raised his head and said word by word: "Father, if your son doesn't marry Lu Manting, you can still compete with the third brother, and if you don't borrow the power of the Lu family, you can make the Zhou family for generations! As long as you take back your life and don't force your son to marry Lu Manting, your son will definitely not let you down!"

Zhou Changan wrung his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Tianqi, with a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, gritting his teeth and saying, "What are you relying on? Feng Jiajun? Could it be that you really colluded with Feng Jiajun a long time ago as he said, and wanted to seize my throne?"

Zhou Tianqi was stunned, and instead of answering, he asked, "Father, who is 'he' you are talking about?"

Zhou Changan squinted at Zhou Tianqi, for a moment, his eyes were full of inquiry, as if he wanted to see through Zhou Tianqi's heart.

Zhou Tianqi was not afraid, frowned and said: "Father, the son-in-law did not come to you until today, because Lu Zhenting has been threatening the son-in-law with this matter. However, I didn't expect that he, a villain, had already told you that he wanted to use this incident to sow discord between our father and son, and he also falsely accused his son of attempting to rebel. ”
