Lin Wan had always been worried that living in the palace was like living in a big bird cage, spending time with those queen mothers, concubines, princes, princesses, palace maids and eunuchs all day long, doing nothing, intriguing, and wasting his life.

Therefore, Lin Wan has always been full of fear and resistance to her and Zhou Tianqi's future marriage, because although she loves Zhou Tianqi deeply, she is unwilling to live in the palace and live the kind of life that will make her crazy.

At this moment, Zhou Tianqi's words dispelled all of Lin Wan's concerns. After they get married, Lin Wan can still do what she wants to do, she can only live with Zhou Tianqi, and the two of them can have a small family of their own, not just the emperor and empress, not just two supreme identities.

In the past and present life, the only person who can really understand Lin Wan is Zhou Tianqi. Although they don't really spend much time together, however, their hearts are together and have never been separated. Although Zhou Tianqi never mentioned their future, he knew very well in his heart that he knew what kind of life Lin Wan wanted, and he arranged everything in advance and gave Lin Wan everything he wanted.

Lin Wan's heart was filled with happiness, and she had already begun to look forward to the future of her and Zhou Tianqi. With her eyes closed and a sweet smile on her face, she fell asleep slowly and unconsciously.

Zhou Tianqi gently put Lin Wan on the pillow, got up and lit an oil lamp, and wrote down the results he and Lin Wan had discussed before on the letterhead, and explained everything they needed to do in the gale.

At the time, the gale arrived on time, took away the official documents that Zhou Tianqi had already approved, and brought a large number of newly transmitted documents from the Shadowless Pavilion. In addition, when it is agreed that three days later, Gale will come again to retrieve the documents sent in this time. Of course, if there is anything urgent, Gale can come in at any time and report to Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan.

After Zhou Tianhong's incident, Zhou Changan became even more determined to pass on the throne to Zhou Tianqi. Although Zhou Tianqi cannot return to Beijing for the time being, Zhou Changan will also hand over some more important decisions to Zhou Tianqi to deal with.

However, Zhou Changan always thought that Zhou Tianqi was still sealing Nancheng, and that the peace talks between him and Nanyue had not yet been completed. Therefore, Su Ziran was allowed to secretly transmit these documents to Zhou Tianqi for processing through the Shadowless Pavilion.

Although Su Ziran has no position on the surface, he is still working for Zhou Changan and Zhou Tianqi secretly. In the past two years, everything in the capital has been supported by Su Ziran alone, so the power of the Shadowless Pavilion has long been able to be used by Su Ziran at will.

In a few days, Qiu Ming will take the peace negotiation agreement between the Great Feng State and the Nanyue State, and return to the capital with Zhou Chengkuan with the Yulin Army. At that time, after Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan's affairs are dealt with, they will also catch up with them and enter the capital with the army.

Regarding Zhou Chengkuan's matter, Zhou Tianqi has also written to the imperial court, indicating Zhou Chengkuan's identity and achievements in the Pingnan army.

Although Zhou Changan and some ministers still have some scruples about Zhou Chengkuan's identity, even Zhou Tianqi trusts him so much, and other officials have nothing to say. After all, now inside and outside the court, including Zhou Changan and Zhou Tianzheng, have absolute trust and convincing in Zhou Tianqi.

The ministers who had supported the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince before had no other thoughts now. Not only because the eldest prince Zhou Tianhong failed, because Zhou Changan's intention to pass on the throne to Zhou Tianqi was already very obvious, but more importantly, the second prince Zhou Tianming and the third prince Zhou Tianzheng had long lost the mind to compete for the throne.

Even if individual families are still a little unwilling, after judging the situation, they can only choose to give up all their thoughts, divide their hearts and minds, and support the Seventh Prince Zhou Tianqi convincingly.

The Liu family originally wanted to pin their hopes on Zhou Tianxing, the Ninth Emperor Prince who had just turned ten years old, but they were also persuaded by Zhou Tianming to retire.

Zhou Tianming said: Can Liu Qingyuan's power in the court alone compete with Lin Zhihuai, the Zhao family, the Wang family, and many of their protégés? Can Liu Shikui and Liu Shijun alone compete with the army of the Southern Peace and the Eastern Qi Army?

Not to mention these, Zhou Tianqi has the support of Zhou Chang'an, Zhou Changying, Concubine Yu, Concubine De, the third princess and others, as well as the support of Dongli Kingdom, Xiling Kingdom, and Northern Chen Kingdom.

So, on the grounds of old age and infirmity, Liu Qingyuan went to the fold and asked the old man to return to his hometown.

Zhou Changan has also agreed to Liu Qingyuan's resignation from the official position of Zuo Xiang, and named him the Duke of Liu Guo, allowing him to stay in the capital to retire for the rest of his life, be with his children and grandchildren, and enjoy the joy of family.

At this point, the Liu family no longer has any complaints about the royal family, and in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military statement, the Liu family will be loyal to the Zhou Dynasty for generations and swear to follow him.

The Great Prince's Mansion, the Lu Guogong Mansion and the Queen's Yunxia Palace have all been ordered by Zhou Changan to raid the mansion and check the palace. The guards in the Great Prince's Mansion were all dismissed, and only some servants who did not know martial arts were left to serve in the Great Prince's Mansion.

Zhou Tianhong, Lan Ziyue and Lan Ziling were all under house arrest in the Great Emperor's Palace, and it is said that after Lan Ziyue lost her child, her whole person went crazy. After Lan Ziling was disfigured by Lan Ziyue, she was also demented and hadn't spoken for a long time.

And Zhou Tianhong is even more drunk every day, often drunk in the house, and a few days ago he was stabbed by his own subordinates because of beating and scolding his subordinates. Fortunately, Zhou Changan asked the imperial doctor to treat him in time, otherwise, even his life would not be guaranteed.

Su Ziran said in the letter that the person who stabbed Zhou Tianhong was the second left who hated Zhou Tianhong because Zhou Tianhong assassinated his brother.

In addition, the Chen family kidnapped Lu Manyi in order to blackmail Zhou Tianzheng, but Zhou Tianzheng did not compromise, but secretly sent people to find out the whereabouts of the Chen family and Lu Manyi. Although he was also very worried about his wife, he also expected that the Chen family would not hurt Lu Manyi.

When Zhou Tianzheng got the Flying Eagle Transmission of the Shadowless Pavilion and learned of Lu Manyi's whereabouts, he finally completely relieved himself, and entrusted the safety of Lu Manyi and the child to Zhou Tianqi and Lin Wan, and handled the government in the capital with peace of mind.

Zhou Tianzheng has watched Zhou Changan between the imperial power, the queen mother and the Lu family since he was a child, and he was in a dilemma, so when he was very young, he knew that history could not repeat itself. He and Zhou Tianhong were both sons of Lu Jinyun, and if either of them ascended to the throne, the Zhou dynasty would never be able to get rid of the control of the Lu family and the Chen family.
