From the rural love, many children and good fortune

Liu Ruobing took the order and quickly arranged personnel to carry out a comprehensive blockade of the imperial capital.

At the same time, Li Tian summoned the ministers of the court and made Zhang Dengnian's crimes public.

When the ministers heard the news, they were filled with indignation and demanded that Zhang Dengnian be severely punished.

In a dark corner of the imperial capital, Zhang Dengnian disguised himself and mixed in with the crowd, trying to sneak out of the city.

His face was full of panic and fear, and there was a hint of despair in his eyes.

He knew very well that once caught, he would be doomed.

However, his every move was watched by the spies arranged by Liu Ruobing.

The spy quickly passed the news to Liu Ruobing, who immediately led his men to chase after Zhang Dengnian's hiding place.

After a fierce chase, Liu Ruobing finally stopped Zhang Dengnian at the city gate.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Zhang Dengnian collapsed to the ground, his face full of despair and regret.

"Zhang Dengnian, your crime has been exposed. Come back to the palace with me and accept the trial of His Majesty!"

Liu Ruobing's voice was cold and firm, and there was a hint of contempt in her eyes.

Zhang Dengnian was escorted back to the palace and was in the Golden Throne Hall.

Facing Li Tian and a group of ministers, he lowered his head and admitted his crimes.

Li Tian was furious and ordered Zhang Dengnian to be thrown into death row and executed on a certain day.

With the capture of Zhang Dengnian, this thrilling court turmoil finally came to an end.

Under Li Tian's rule, Da Chu gradually regained its former peace and prosperity, and the people lived a peaceful and prosperous life.

And Liu Ruobing, in this storm, not only showed her outstanding talent and loyalty, but also her relationship with Li Tian became deeper and deeper, becoming a beautiful scenery in the court of Da Chu.

After experiencing a period of turmoil, the Great Chu gradually restored its former prosperity and tranquility. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

However, beneath this calm appearance, new waves arose within the royal family.

On this day, Liu family ancestor Liu Yichen suddenly appeared in the palace.

He was dressed in a plain white robe, emitting the aura of a peak Golden Immortal, and he was intimidating without even getting angry.

Li Tian and Liu Ruyan were playing with their two daughters in the imperial garden.

Seeing Liu Yichen coming, Li Tian frowned slightly, feeling a little unhappy in his heart, but he still stood up to greet him.

"Ancestor, why are you here today?"

Li Tian's voice was calm, but with a hint of vigilance.

Liu Yichen's eyes swept across Li Tian and Liu Ruyan, and finally fell on the two delicate little daughters.

There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, but they soon returned to being cold.

"Li Tian, ​​your throne came from Ruyan. It was Ruyan who gave up the throne to you and made herself the queen. Is that right?"

Liu Yichen spoke, his voice low and powerful.

Li Tian's heart tightened, and he instantly guessed Liu Yichen's intention, but he still asked calmly:

"Ancestor, what you said is correct!"

Liu Yichen raised his chin slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of unquestionable majesty:

"I want you to give both of your daughters the surname Liu, and to confer the eldest daughter, Li Nianci, as the Crown Princess, who will inherit the throne of Great Chu in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Tian's face darkened instantly, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes:

"Grandfather, Nianci and Nianrou are my and Ruyan's daughters, so their surname is naturally Li. As for the position of the Crown Princess, I have my own plans, so don't worry about it."

Liu Ruyan also stood up and gently took Li Tian's hand, her eyes full of worry:

"Grandfather, Nianci and Nianrou are our treasures. Regarding this family name, I hope you can understand our feelings as parents."

Liu Yichen snorted coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes:

"Liu Ruyan, you are also from the Liu family, how can you be so treacherous? Da Chu is the Da Chu of the Liu family!"

Liu Ruyan bit her lip, feeling a little conflicted, but still said firmly:

"Ancestor, ever since Ruyan left the throne, Da Chu has become the Da Chu of the Li family! Ruyan and Li Tian are one and the same. Nianci and Nianrou's surnames are Li, which is also a respect for Li Tian."

Li Tian held Liu Ruyan's hand tightly, protecting her behind him, took a step forward, and his aura suddenly rose.

Although he tried to restrain himself, the pressure of a peak Golden Immortal still emanated from him, causing the air around him to stagnate.

He looked straight into Liu Yichen's eyes, his gaze firm and sharp, like a blade drawn from its sheath, and he was not afraid of the other party's identity and cultivation at all.

"Ancestor,"

Li Tian's voice was low but powerful, and every word he spoke was like the sound of a huge bell.

"Since I ascended the throne, I have devoted all my energy to governing the Great Chu, allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the court to be in good order. The prosperity of the Great Chu today is due to my unremitting efforts, not the charity of others."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing an inviolable majesty.

"Nianci and Nianrou are my flesh and blood. Their surname is Li, and this is an indisputable fact. As for the succession to the throne, I will make the most appropriate decision based on their talents and moral character. It is not the turn of others to make comments."

Liu Yichen's face darkened, a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and the spiritual energy around him began to surge. His white robe moved without wind, trying to suppress Li Tian with his momentum.

"Li Tian, ​​don't forget that if Ruyan hadn't abdicated, how could you sit on the throne? Now you are just letting your daughter take your mother's surname and inherit the Great Chu. This is what the Liu family deserves!"

Li Tian remained unmoved, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Grandfather, you are wrong. I was able to ascend the throne because of Ruyan's abdication, and the concubine Liu family."

After saying that, golden spiritual energy surged out from Li Tian's body, and the shadow of a golden dragon appeared faintly behind him, with its fangs and claws bared, looking majestic and awe-inspiring. The powerful sense of oppression made Liu Yichen take a half step back.

"Grandfather, if you insist on forcing me today, don't blame me for not considering our relationship! Great Chu is my Great Chu, and my daughter will only grow and develop according to my wishes."

Li Tian's voice resounded throughout the imperial garden. Every word seemed to carry endless power, causing the surrounding flowers and plants to tremble slightly.

Liu Yichen was shocked. He didn't expect Li Tian to be so tough and completely disregard the Liu family's reputation and power.

But as the ancestor of the Liu family, how could he retreat easily?

Just as he was about to speak again, he saw that Liu Ruyan's eyes were slightly red and full of pleading.

"Ancestor, please,"

Liu Ruyan's voice was choked with sobs.

"Ruyan and Li Tian are truly in love, and Nianci and Nianrou are the apple of our eyes. We just hope that they can grow up happily and not be troubled by these worldly disputes."

Liu Yichen looked at Liu Ruyan and felt conflicted.

He loved Liu Ruyan very much and couldn't bear to see her in such a difficult situation.

Looking at Li Tian's determined look, he knew that today's event would not go as he wished.

After a moment's silence, he took a deep breath, slowly withdrew the spiritual power around him, and his robe gradually returned to calm.

"That's all,"

There was a hint of helplessness in Liu Yichen's voice.

"Let's put this matter aside for now. I hope you, Li Tian, ​​can govern Great Chu well and don't let down the people of this world."

After saying that, he looked at Li Tian and Liu Ruyan deeply, turned around and turned into a stream of light, disappearing in the imperial garden.

Li Tian looked at Liu Yichen's departing back, breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and hugged Liu Ruyan tightly.

"Ruyan, don't be afraid. I'm here. No one can hurt you and the children."

Liu Ruyan leaned in Li Tian's arms, nodded gently, her eyes full of peace of mind and happiness.
