Zhou Chang looked at Zhou Tianqi quietly, looking at the anger and hatred in his eyes, and secretly wondered in his heart, what was Lu Zhenting doing this for? Is it really just to force Zhou Tianqi to marry Lu Manting, so as to win him over and control him? Or is there another purpose?

Zhou Tianqi saw that Zhou Changan still didn't seem to believe in himself, and he didn't know how to prove his innocence for a while, so he suddenly said loudly and angrily: "Father, if you don't believe in Erchen, you can kill Erchen, even if Erchen is dead, he is not willing to marry Lu Manting and is unwilling to give in to the Lu family." If you still remember the love between father and son, please demote your sons to commoners, and let them wander the rivers and lakes! Or, let your sons go to Lingshan Temple to follow the master and become monks!"

Zhou Changan looked at Zhou Tianqi, who was full of anger and stubborn in his eyes, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, Zhou Tian's use of this method proves that he has no intention of rebellion, and shows his determination not to marry Lu Manting. Zhou Changan suddenly remembered Feng Xueyu again, before Feng Xueyu died, he begged Zhou Changan not to let Zhou Tianqi be the crown prince and not let him inherit the throne.

And Zhou Tianqi has never taken imperial power in his eyes for so many years, and he has never even cared, let alone flattered his father, who is the king of a country and holds the power of life and death.

Zhou Changan's purpose is to arouse Zhou Tianqi's hatred for the Lu family, and not only to let him have the heart to seize the throne with Zhou Tianzheng, but also not to let him and the Lu family become people in the same boat. Therefore, Zhou Tianqi was forced to be anxious just now, and if he said that he wanted to compete with Zhou Tianzheng, he hit him by mistake and fell right into his arms.

However, Zhou Changan has another name in his heart that makes him jealous, that is, "Feng Jiajun". Zhou Changan only felt that there were wolves in front and tigers in the back, and his throne seemed to be in jeopardy.

Zhou Changying saw that their father and son looked at each other so tense for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh lightly and persuaded: "Your Majesty, if we don't want the Zhou family to fall into the hands of the Lu family, we can only rely on Qi'er. However, is it really useful for you to force him like this? Could it be that if he marries Lu Manting, the Lu family will let him go? Are you sure that things will not get worse?"

Zhou Changan took a deep breath, looked at Zhou Changying, and said with some emotion: "Imperial sister, for so many years, do you know how difficult it is for me to be the emperor? I am the emperor, but I have no military power in my hands, I have no other way than to control the balance, I have no other way than to be careful everywhere, I can't sleep every night, and my body is not as good as day by day......"

After listening to Zhou Changan's words, Zhou Changying and Zhou Tianqi both showed concerned looks, and Zhou Tianqi blurted out: "Father, the emperor ......"

Zhou Changying also said worriedly: "Your Majesty, can it be said that Imperial Doctor Liu has seen it?"

Zhou Changan waved his hand and said in a low voice: "My illness is okay for the time being, Sister Huang, Qi'er, you don't have to worry." After a pause, he said: "But, Qi'er, in this matter at the moment, my father really can't rely on you, otherwise, the Lu family will not give up." ”

Zhou Changying pondered for a moment and asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, is there really no other way?"

Zhou Changan sighed and shook his head, but suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look in Lin Wan's direction, hooked his lips slightly, and said lightly: "It's better to let Wan'er tell me what she can do." ”

Lin Wan was stunned, and then, he walked out of the shadows, bowed to Zhou Chang'an Yingying, and said with a smile: "Father is wise, Wan'er still thinks she is hiding well!"

Zhou Changan smiled lightly and said, "I didn't recognize you, but who else can invite my imperial sister besides you, and besides you, how can the imperial sister bring others into my diligent palace to listen to my housework?"

Lin Wanyan smiled and said playfully: "Thank you father for not treating Wan'er as an outsider and letting Wan'er participate in the discussion of our family's housework." ”

Zhou Changan laughed, shook his head, and said dotingly: "You mouth! If I don't let you say it, I'm afraid you will be suffocated!"

Lin Wan bowed to Zhou Chang'an, and said: "Father, since you let Wan'er say it, Wan'er won't go around the bend with you, if Wan'er says something you don't like to hear, you can't blame Wan'er." ”

Zhou Changan snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "You talk and think about it, if you really collide with me, I can't guarantee that I will spare you." ”

Lin Wan hooked her lips and smiled, thought for a while, and said, "Father, Wan'er thinks that the Lu family must marry Sister Manting to my Seventh Emperor Brother, and there is definitely a purpose. And this purpose, whether it's for the Feng family's army or something else, shouldn't be what my father wants, right?"

Zhou Changan was stunned, Lin Wan's words hit the nail on the head, whether the Lu family wanted the Feng family army in Zhou Tianqi's hands, or the royal military talisman that might be in Zhou Tianqi's hands, it was indeed a very big threat to Zhou Changan. And Zhou Changan persecuted Zhou Tianqi so much, and he also had the same purpose, that is, to force Zhou Tianqi to hand over the military talisman of the imperial army.

However, Zhou Tianqi insisted that the whereabouts of the imperial military talisman had not been found, and Qiu Ming said the same. Zhou Changan once sent people all the way to northern Xinjiang to investigate, but he didn't find anything suspicious, so he believed Zhou Tianqi's words for the time being.

Zhou Changan was not worried that the Feng family army would cooperate with the Lu family, let alone be used by the Lu family. He hoped that the Feng family army and the Lu family would fight and lose both.

Seeing that Zhou Changan didn't speak, Lin Wan continued: "Father, among the several imperial brothers, only the seventh emperor brother is unlikely to become a family with the Lu family, do you want to force him to become the Lu family, and then, even if the Great Feudal Kingdom does not change its name and surname, the emperor of the Zhou family is just a puppet." ”

"Presumptuous!" Zhou Changan finally glared angrily and scolded Lin Wan loudly.

Lin Wan lowered his head and stopped talking, but the small body was straight, as if to say, whether you admit it or not, what I said is the truth.

Zhou Changying hurriedly played a round, scolded Lin Wan, and said: "Wan'er, you are too open-mouthed, you see that you have made your father ...... angry" paused, then turned his head to look at Zhou Changan, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, Wan'er is still a child after all, and she doesn't know how to shy away from speaking." However, what she said was not wrong. Moreover, Qi'er, the child, has suffered a lot since he was a child, and we can't let him suffer this grievance anymore. ”

Zhou Changan took a deep breath, calmed his anger, nodded slightly, but asked helplessly: "The imperial sister is reasonable, but now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, what does the imperial sister think I should do?"

Zhou Changying sighed lightly, she didn't have an idea for a while, and turned her head to look at Lin Wan, only to see that she was twisting her eyebrows and pondering, and she didn't seem to have come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
