Zhou Changying smiled faintly, nodded with satisfaction, and said earnestly: "Wan'er, don't worry." Although the emperor and I have been angry for many years, after all, we are both members of the Zhou family, sisters and brothers. It is really a critical juncture, when our Zhou imperial power is facing foreign aggression, we will definitely unite and unite with the outside world. This is why the emperor has always been unable to tolerate the Feng family, and he is also afraid of the Zhao family, but in the end, he will accept them because of Qi'er and you. All forces, only if they are really willing to be used by the imperial family, and there is no threat to the imperial power of the Zhou family, the emperor can tolerate its existence. ”

Lin Wan frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Master, do you mean that the emperor has already intended to pass on the throne to the Apocalypse, and he also knows my relationship with the Apocalypse, and knows that the Feng family and the Zhao family will be used by us, so we allow them to exist, right?"

Zhou Changying nodded slightly, gently helped Lin Wan up, and said softly: "Yes, you are right. Therefore, if you have any mistakes with Qi'er, or lose the emperor's trust, the situation of the Feng family and the Zhao family will become very dangerous. ”

Lin Wan got up and sat beside Zhou Changying, frowned and thought for a while, and then asked, "Master, do you know His Royal Highness the Third Prince, what kind of person is he?"

Zhou Changying was stunned, she didn't expect Lin Wan to suddenly ask about Zhou Tianzheng. Turning his head to look at Ning Wuwu on the side, he secretly guessed in his heart, could it be that Zhou Tianzheng hadn't given up on Ning Wuwu and was still secretly entangled?

Seeing that Zhou Changying had misunderstood, Lin Wan couldn't help but purse her lips and smile, and explained: "Master, this matter has nothing to do with Sister Wuwu, Wan'er wants to know whether His Royal Highness the Third Prince's heart is towards the Lu family or the Zhou family." What kind of attitude does the emperor have towards him? If the emperor gives up the apocalypse, will he choose the third prince instead?"

Zhou Changying nodded slightly when he heard this, indicating that he understood what Lin Wan meant, but he didn't know how to answer for a while, frowned and thought about it, then shook his head again, and said: "Zheng'er's thoughts, I don't know very well, even the emperor can't be sure of his thoughts." However, I think that if the emperor really had another choice, he might choose him. After all, over the years, Zheng'er has indeed never helped the Lu family on the surface. Although he has now married the eldest daughter of the Lu family as a side concubine, he has never participated in the affairs of the Lu family. Even, even outsiders have begun to speculate, saying that Lu Guogong is extremely dissatisfied with His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so he has given up on promoting the Third Prince as the crown prince. And the Lu family has been relatively close to the eldest prince recently, and may have chosen the eldest prince and intends to support the eldest prince to restore the status of the crown prince. ”

Lin Wan took a deep breath and said puzzledly: "Master, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has always been very popular with the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, why is he so estranged from the people of the Lu State Mansion?"

Zhou Changying smiled faintly and said: "Zheng'er has liked poetry and songs since he was a child, and he doesn't care about political affairs. Therefore, neither the Queen Mother nor the Empress put the hope of inheriting the throne on him. What's more, Hong'er has been appreciated by the emperor, the queen, the queen mother, and the Lu family since she was a child, and even Manyi's girl was kept for Hong'er since she was a child. If Hong'er hadn't accidentally provoked Princess Ziyue of Nanyue, chilled the hearts of the Lu family and lost the position of crown prince, they would not have turned to support Zheng'er. Alas, what Zheng'er thinks, I'm afraid even the Queen Mother and the Queen are not sure. Therefore, now the emperor can't believe Zheng'er, and the Lu family can't believe Zheng'er. However, if one day really comes, the emperor and the Lu family can't hold each other, Zheng'er will become the compromise choice between them. ”

Lin Wan thought about it, and told Zhou Changying about Zhou Tianzheng sneaking into Tingxi Liyuan yesterday to remind her to leave as soon as possible, and later in the middle of the night, hundreds of black-clothed people surrounded Tingxi Liyuan, and then there was a martial arts master from Nanyue who fought with Zhou Tianqi, and told Zhou Changying about it as it was.

Zhou Changying couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Lin Wan's words, and asked with a frown: "What is the origin of those black-clothed people?

Lin Wan nodded and said, "Yes, the apocalypse said that it would not be wrong to hear the accent of the old man in black." As for the hundreds of people in black, I guess they are the royal army on the cliff mountain, they probably know that I want to take Xiao Qi away, so they want to send someone to snatch Xiao Qi back. ”

Zhou Changying thought for a while, nodded and said: "You should be right in guessing, but the status of the imperial army is also very embarrassing now, and it does not obey the orders of the royal family or the queen mother." Therefore, what they did last night may have been just out of the selfishness of attacking Hairen. After all, the reputation of the four divine beasts and the rumors about the four divine beasts are still very attractive. ”

Lin Wan asked thoughtfully, "Master, will the emperor also object to Wan'er taking Xiao Qi away?"

Zhou Changying smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "If the emperor didn't worry about letting you take Xiao Qi away, he wouldn't have handed Xiao Qi over to you in the first place." What's more, Xiao Qi is equivalent to being rescued by you, and now no one recognizes you except you. If the emperor leaves it behind, who is it appropriate to hand it over? Except for me, the emperor has no place to place Xiao Qi. I still have Princess Hehui here, and Princess Hehui is about to give birth, in case something goes wrong, it is not easy for our Dafeng Kingdom to explain to the Northern Chen Kingdom, and the emperor will not do such a thankless thing. If you can come back safely, Xiao Qi will naturally come back with you, if you stay in Xiling Kingdom as the crown princess, even if you leave Xiao Qi, it will be of no use to the Great Seal Kingdom. The emperor has already bet most of his bets on Qi'er and you, and I hope you will not live up to the emperor's expectations. ”

Lin Wan smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, of course, our hearts are towards the Great Feudal Country, and we will definitely not disappoint the emperor's expectations for us." ”

Zhou Changying laughed and said, "I'm not worried, because I know that your heart is towards Qi'er, no matter how good Xiling Kingdom is, no matter how good Prince Ximen is, he can't keep you." ”

Lin Wanxiao's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Master, even you make fun of me......"

Zhou Changying shook his head with a chuckle and sighed: "Wan'er, the master is not making fun of you, the master is happy for you and Qi'er." It is not easy for a person to meet a person he likes in his life, and it is even more difficult if the person he likes also happens to like him. The master envies you very much, and admires you, you have also put in a lot of hard work for each other and experienced a lot of hardships, but you have never given up. Among them, your own ability also played a decisive role, otherwise, you would not have been able to come to this day together, and you have the support of so many people. ”
