The hall was very quiet, and everyone didn't know what Zhou Chang'an said in his letter to Ximen Longao. This letter was handed over to Zhou Tianqi by Zhou Changan himself the night before Zhou Tianqi left the capital.

Zhou Tianqi did not open the envelope to read the contents of the letter, not because he was afraid that after opening it, there would be no way to restore the fire paint imprint. Rather, he didn't feel the need for it.

Although it was once because of Feng Xueyu's death, Zhou Tianqi hated Zhou Chang'an, his father, very much. However, after experiencing so many things, he has gradually accepted Zhou Changan in his heart unconsciously. There are many things, without Zhou Changan's secret support and maintenance, Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan would not have been able to get to where they are today.

Of course, it is precisely because Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan are good enough that their father sees the infinite potential in them, and feels that they are the best children of heaven who are expected and born in accordance with the will of heaven, so they have received so much support.

Because Lin Wan has enough ability and reason to make Lin Zhihuai believe that she can fight for a more brilliant future for the Lin family. Therefore, Lin Zhihuai chose Lin Wan and Lin Ruichen, and also chose his original wife Zhao Liniang.

Because Zhou Tianqi had enough ability and power to block the iron hooves of the South Vietnamese army and afford the rise and fall of the Great Feudal State, Zhou Changan chose Zhou Tianqi and decided to fight against the South Vietnamese State to the end. Otherwise, he could only consider marrying with the Nanyue Kingdom, humbly using countless compromises in exchange for the peace of the Great Feudal State and maintaining the status of the Zhou dynasty.

Every emperor wants to live for a hundred years, not for a long time. Therefore, in the face of external power, if there is a hard fight, Zhou Changan will certainly not compromise easily. Therefore, Lan Shengtian proposed many times in the national letter that he wanted to seal the southern city of the country, but Zhou Changan did not finally agree.

Although Zhou Tianqi has not read this letter, he can roughly guess that Zhou Changan must have hoped that Ximen Longao must have seen the situation clearly, not to form an alliance with Nanyue, and not to let Nanyue's treacherous tricks succeed.

After reading the letter, Ximen Longao raised his head to look at Zhou Chengkuan, his eyes were a little complicated, but he didn't say anything more after all, stuffed the letter back into the envelope, and then carefully put the envelope into his sleeve.

Zhou Chengkuan's heart was a little apprehensive, he didn't know if Zhou Tianqi was mentioned in the letter, he didn't know what Ximen Longao's eyes meant when he looked at him, he could only secretly think in his heart, what questions Ximen Longao would ask himself, how he would answer, so as not to arouse Ximen Longao's suspicion.

However, Ximen Longao didn't say anything more, and seemed to feel a little heavy or embarrassed after reading the letter. Therefore, he just smiled faintly and instructed Ximen Yuqing: "Qing'er, you are responsible for entertaining the two distinguished guests who came from afar, let them have a good rest tonight, and when Prince Lan arrives tomorrow, we will participate in the dust washing banquet together in the evening." ”

"Yes, Father. Ximen Yuqing bowed his hand, turned around and made a gesture of please to Zhou Chengkuan and Lin Wan, and said gently: "Brother Zhou, Wan'er, please!"

Zhou Chengkuan smiled slightly, stood up, and respectfully saluted Ximen Longao to retire, Lin Wan also got up and bowed to Ximen Longao, and then followed Zhou Chengkuan and Ximen Yuqing and walked out of the hall.

The three of them walked out of Ximen Longao's imperial study quietly, but they each guessed in their hearts what was written on Zhou Changan's letter, and what was the reason for the sudden change in Ximen Longao's attitude?

Back at the gate of the palace where Zhou Chengkuan and Lin Wan lived, Ximen Yuqing stopped and said to Lin Wan: "Wan'er, I still have something to do, so I won't send you in." Tomorrow, Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting will come, and they will be arranged to live in the Jingtai Hall opposite. When the time comes, I won't be here all the time, so you have to be careful with yourselves. ”

Lin Wan hooked her lips slightly, nodded, and said, "Brother Ximen, you have done enough for us, and we can handle the next things by ourselves." Don't worry, Lan Ziheng and Lu Manting are our old rivals, and I haven't suffered a loss after so many encounters. Of course, this time, I won't be merciful. ”

Ximen Yuqing looked at Lin Wan with a smile, nodded, and said softly: "Don't worry, Jiang Tian follows you, if there is anything, you can tell him to do it, and you can also let him come to me." Whatever it is, you can come to me. After speaking, he gave Lin Wan a reassuring look, turned around and walked back. It seems that he is also very curious about the content of Zhou Changan's letter, and plans to go back to find out Ximen Longao's mind.

After Lin Wan watched Ximen Yuqing leave, he turned around and looked at the surrounding environment.

It was originally the residence of all the princes, and it was once very lively, full of deceit and power. But now, many princes of Xiling Kingdom have long been dead, crippled, crippled, crippled, except for Ximen Yuqing's palace, these princes' palaces have been abandoned for many years.

The eldest prince with crippled legs, because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, had moved to the eldest prince's mansion in the imperial city a few years ago.

The fourth prince was demoted to commoners by Ximen Longao because of the cruelty of his brother, and was driven out of the imperial city. Of course, he has been living under the watchful eye of Ximen Yuqing all these years. I tasted the hardships of life, was suppressed and disheartened, and no longer had the heart and ability to make a comeback.

Lin Wan frowned and looked at the Jingtai Hall in the distance, the gate was facing the Wanxin Hall where Lin Wan lived, if anything happened to the palaces on both sides, they couldn't escape each other's eyes.

Looking at the three big words "Wanxin Palace" above his head, Lin Wan's heart couldn't help but feel a little sullen. These three words are the handwriting of Ximen Yuqing, and Ximen Yuqing's good intentions are always reflected in the bits and pieces.

Maybe Lin Wan only lived in this palace for more than a month, and after the feast of choosing a concubine, he would leave. However, Ximen Yuqing still seems to be like Lin Wan will live here for a long time, and takes care of this place so comfortably, so like a home.

Zhou Chengkuan looked at Lin Wan, who was a little stunned, couldn't help but sigh lightly, and took the lead in walking towards the Wanxin Palace.

Shangguan Yun waited for Zhou Chengkuan to walk into the door before walking quickly to Lin Wan's side. Seeing that Lin Wan had been looking up at the plaque of the "Wanxin Palace", he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, touched Lin Wan's shoulder, and explained in a low voice: "Wan'er, this name wasn't originally called here." My cousin renovated this place from beginning to end for you, and even changed the name. The three words 'Wanxin Palace' are also written by my cousin himself, do you like it?"

Lin Wan retracted his gaze, smiled faintly, nodded slightly, didn't say anything, and walked towards the hall. Shangguan Yun followed closely by her side, and Qingtong, Bing'er, and Nuanxin also silently followed behind them.
