After ten years of seclusion, he forced the demon queen to marry him

In the palace hall,

Zhou Taian quietly leaned on the throne, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

The servants, concubines, and many ministers in the palace had already fled, but Liu Wen was still standing beside him.

"Liu Xiang, are you still not going to leave?"

Zhou Taian asked with his eyes closed.

Liu Wen smiled slightly and said:

"The old minister is old and can't run anymore"

"I will accompany His Majesty here."

"Besides, His Majesty is gone, what's the point of me living on..."

Zhou Taian opened his old eyes and looked at Liu Wen, smiling happily.

It's not too bad to have an old friend accompany him until the last moment...

But compared to accompanying him, who is already dying, it's really not worth it.

"Prime Minister Liu, what do you think of my grandson An Ning?"

Zhou Taian asked casually.

Liu Wen replied without hesitation:

"The young prince has been gifted since childhood, very smart, and diligent in study, even better than the third prince."

Zhou Taian nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, and said nothing more.

Thinking of the brocade box that Zhou Taian had given to Yue Zhuotian before, Liu Wen immediately realized Zhou Taian's hidden meaning, and asked with a little surprise:

"Is your Majesty planning to make the young prince the crown prince?"

"Why not?"

"If I remember correctly, the young prince is a woman.…？"

"There has never been a woman who ascended the throne to become an emperor in the history of Tian Zhou..."

Liu Wen said.

Zhou Taian disagreed and said calmly:

"so what"

"The previous kings did not do this, so I will set a precedent!"

"Isn’t the demon king now also a woman?"

"I believe that An Ning can succeed me and restore the prosperity of Tian Zhou!"

At first, Zhou Taian had been hesitating whether to make Zhou An Ning the crown prince, and whether to force her to sit on the throne that concerned the entire Tian Zhou.

After meeting the demon queen Su Yueli, Zhou Taian finally made up his mind.

The demon queen could still stand out in the chaotic demon land and unify the demons. He firmly believed that Zhou An Ning would definitely become an outstanding queen in the future and rule Tian Zhou.

Liu Wen nodded.

In fact, he also agreed very much with Zhou Taian's decision.

Now that Zhou Min'an is dead, Zhou Zhige openly rebelled and wanted to seize the throne. He was ambitious and cruel. The future of Tian Zhou could not be handed over to him anyway.

The only one left was the young Zhou An Ning who could take on the important task and inherit the throne!

Zhou Taian spoke earnestly and said to Liu Wen with entrustment:

"Prime Minister Liu, I have secretly decreed that you be the father of the nation."

"Assist An Ning in governing Tian Zhou!"

"An Ning is still young. If she does anything against the emperor in the future, I hope you can correct her in time and train her to become an outstanding emperor!"

"I understand, old minister!"

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

""I will never let your majesty down!"

Liu Wen knelt down beside Zhou Taian and kowtowed, saying with tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, Zhou Taian was ready to die happily.

"That’s great!"

""Prime Minister Liu should leave quickly before that rebellious son comes in."

Zhou Taian said happily.

As soon as he finished speaking, the gate to the sky was broken open, and a rampant voice came into the hall.

"None of you can leave!"

Zhou Zhige, holding a sharp weapon, led several of his men into the hall.

Seeing this, Liu Wen pointed at Zhou Zhige and angrily shouted:

"Killing one's father to seize the throne is against the will of heaven!"

"You are not worthy of being the king of Tian Zhou!"

Zhou Zhige smiled coldly and said:

"Whether I am worthy or not is not up to you, Prime Minister Liu!"

"Come, protect Liu Xiangguo"

"Prime Minister Liu will still have to give me advice in the future."

Several subordinates rushed to the front of the hall, put knives on Liu Wen's neck, and forcibly pulled him aside.

Liu Wen continued to curse:

"Traitor! Even if I die, I will never serve you!"

Zhou Zhige glanced at Liu Wen coldly, ignored him, and walked straight to Zhou Taian who was sitting on the dragon chair, pointing the knife at his forehead.

"You old fool, I can blame you for what I have done today!"

"Don't think I don't know that you want to give the throne to Zhou Taiping!"

"So I sent someone to kill him!"

"I thought you would give the throne to me in the future, but you wanted to make Zhou An Ning the crown prince!"

"I see!"

"As long as there are others around, you will never make me emperor!"

"Then I'll just have to kill them all!"

"At this point, you have no other choice. Hand over the imperial seal immediately and order me to abdicate. For the sake of our past father-son relationship, I will ensure that you enjoy your old age in peace!"

Zhou Taian's face was calm as usual, but there was an indescribable sadness in his eyes as he looked at Zhou Zhige.

"Among the wise and virtuous kings of the Zhou Dynasty, there has never been a case of fratricide. How could I have given birth to such a wicked creature like you!"

"I will not give you what you want! I cannot give you that!"

"Because you are not worthy of being the king of Tian Zhou!"

Zhou Taian said in a sonorous and powerful voice.

Every word of these words undoubtedly stimulated Zhou Zhige's nerves.

""Okay! You're asking for death!"

In a rage, Zhou Zhige stabbed Zhou Taian's chest with a knife!

The long knife pierced through Zhou Zhige's body and pierced the dragon throne behind him.

Zhou Taian closed his eyes happily.

He believed that Xia Changming would protect Zhou An Ning, and Zhou An Ning would definitely return safely and end this turmoil in Tiandu.

""Your Majesty!!!"

Liu Wen cried out in grief.

Zhou Zhige didn't care. He pulled the long sword out of Zhou Taian's body, and felt a sense of satisfaction that he had finally succeeded.

Once Zhou Taian died, Tianzhou would be his world!

Just as Zhou Zhige was immersed in joy and was about to announce to the world that he was the new emperor of Tianzhou, a soft voice broke his fantasy.

"Grandpa..."

Zhou An Ning rushed into the hall, and saw Zhou Zhige standing in front of Zhou Taian with a knife covered in blood.

Zhou Taian had already closed his eyes and was silent.

Zhou An Ning looked at Zhou Zhige with tears in his eyes, and he didn't even notice his finger piercing his palm.

Zhou Zhige turned around and looked at Zhou An Ning in surprise.

How did he come back alive from the secret realm?!

What were Wang Meng and the others doing, and they let her come in alive?!

Zhou Zhige was full of doubts, and his eyes were fixed on Zhou An Ning.

The next moment, two figures rushed in from outside the hall and smashed deeply into the ground.

When the dust cleared, a pitch-black werewolf stood upright beside Zhou An Ning, with a ferocious face, holding Wang Meng's head with one hand and dragging his body.

He casually threw Wang Meng's body at Zhou An Ning's feet.

Zhou Zhige no longer had the calm demeanor just now, and was shocked.

Wang Meng is dead?!

What is this werewolf!

Langya looked at Zhou Zhige, feeling Zhou An Ning's astonishing hatred and murderous intent beside him, and asked intimately:

"Little brat, do you want me to kill him too to cheer you up?"

Zhou An Ning held the immortal sword in his hand and said coldly:

"Don't take action"

"I will kill him!"
