It is still unknown whether Zhou Yan was the crown prince of the previous dynasty.

Zhou Yan had a thorough investigation of Song Niannian's background.

In the early years, when the previous dynasty collapsed, her mother was indeed a palace maid who took the infant princess out.

However, not long after, the princess fell seriously ill and a major epidemic broke out in the south of the Yangtze River. The child did not survive and died in a house.

Song Niannian was indeed her mother's child. But because of the princess's death, her mother could never forget it and could not let it go.

Before her father's property was raided and he was convicted, Song Niannian had never been happy in the mansion... She was named Niannian because she missed the princess.

.

Song Niannian looked at the queen.

The woman who was in power was once in her prime, but now she is a prisoner and looks down and out.

She didn't know why Zhou Yan brought her along.

But looking at the queen, Song Niannian felt a sense of grief for the deceased.

She once served as an empress as a woman.

Song Niannian guessed at first that the Queen had teamed up with Lu Yue to poison the Prince for the throne and pretended to be dead.

However, Zhou Yan was still alive and the Zhou family bloodline had an heir. Her dream of the emperor being ill and her taking sole control of the government became a fantasy.

…

I don’t know what the queen was like in the past, but the queen now has become someone who wants to make people unhappy before she dies. She is just a pitiful creature.

.

Zhou Yan was a very wise prince.

At least, that's the case now.

He saw through that the queen was deliberately speaking for Lu Yue's death, making him jealous and uncomfortable.

But Zhou Yan finally vented his jealousy towards Lu Yue on the Queen!

The Lu family, like monkeys scattering when the tree falls, has not left behind even a single descendant, and is about to be confiscated and exterminated.

Zhou Yan entered the harem and went to the palace with the Duke of Zhenguo to ask the Queen to return the government. That night, Madam Lu committed suicide.

Before her death, she wrote a letter in blood, asking Zhou Yan to keep the three children in Song Niannian's belly for the Lu family in consideration of the Bai family's founding contributions!

In the old lady's heart, the baby in Song Niannian's belly was Lu Yue's flesh and blood. If their family died, Song Niannian would give birth to a child, which would also be the continuation of the Lu family's bloodline.

Zhou Yan was jealous of this.

But the person is dead. How can he, a living person, bother with the dead?

The only thing he could do was to get it back bit by bit from the other living members of the Lu family.

.

The eunuch brought a white silk and a bowl of poisoned wine and let the queen choose.

Zhou Yan took Song Niannian and waited in the cold palace for a while.

All I heard was the eunuch report, "The Empress is gone."

Zhou Yan hummed repeatedly.

He always looked serious.

Now, it is even harder to tell.

But Song Niannian's hand was held in his big palm, and she only felt his fingertips suddenly stroking her out of habit.

Like fiddling with some kind of Buddhist beads.

This time, it was like an inaudible voice of Amitabha!

Song Niannian looked up and glanced at Zhou Yan, only to see that Zhou Yan's eyebrows were drooping, and he looked cold and indifferent.

He looked back at her.

But she seemed to be by his side, and she could smell the scent of soapberry on Zhou Yan's robe.

"Your Highness, I'm a little scared. Let's go back."

Song Niannian clenched her hands.

When she acts like a little girl, Zhou Yan will appear gentle.

"good."

.

The emperor died three days later.

The body is short-lived to begin with, and when it dies, there is a plate of "magic pills" next to it that it has never tried.

Zhou Yan ascended the throne.

.

The same man is different before and after he ascends the throne.

Before he ascended the throne, Song Niannian was his Crown Princess. Although her status was a bit humble, Zhou Yan was resolute and powerful, and no one talked about it.

After ascending the throne, Zhou Yan became the emperor of the entire world.
