The King of Qi, naturally, is the Eldest Prince of the Great Zhou, Zhou Yanwei's elder brother with a different mother, the best candidate for Crown Prince.
Previously, it was because the King of Qi went north to kill the barbarians that the Civilization Officials lacked supervision, giving Zhou Yanwei an opportunity.
Now, the King of Qi is unexpectedly captured by the Night Barbarians. If something goes wrong, Zhou Yanwei would naturally be the most likely candidate.
However, this matter is still uncertain, because the Empress has a younger son, the Third Prince, who is only two years old.
Zhou Yanwei is older, but the Third Prince is legitimate. If Ji Chengtian is biased in any way, bypassing Zhou Yanwei to cultivate the Third Prince is entirely possible.
Ji Chengtian is only forty-two years old now, in his prime, and can completely start cultivating anew.
