Chapter 315: Prime Minister, please don't be shy [8]
Lan Qingruo raised her eyes, with long eyelashes, and asked softly: "Since Your Majesty knows better, why don't you send her back to Shuoyue and stay with her in Tianche anyway?"
"There are three considerations why I don't send her back to Shuoyue." Mo Zhilan smiled slowly, "First, she is the aunt of Emperor Shuoyue, and her status is extremely noble. I once wanted to marry Xianyu.
To Prince Shuo Yue, it’s a pity that Xianyu loves Feng Yu, so the marriage never came to fruition. I’m still more or less in the right, so naturally I can keep Chunyu Zijin in good hands.”
"Secondly, Chunyu Zijin is unfathomable. She must have other plans when she stays in Tianche. Instead of letting the tiger go back to the mountains, it is better to restrict her and monitor her, so as to remain unchanged in the face of changes."
"As for the third one..." Mo Zhilan trailed off with a smile. He paused and did not continue speaking immediately. Instead, he glanced at Lan Qingruo with evil intentions.
It seems that this third point is still related to him.
Lan Qingruo was calm and composed, her sickly handsome face unchanged. She looked at Mo Zhilan and said slowly: "I would like to hear the details."
"Third, of course, it is a covenant she made with Zi'er. This covenant is also related to the Prime Minister. I heard from Zi'er that Princess Chunyu actually agreed to stay in Tianche for three months for you. Only two months have passed now.
There is still one month left before her promise, I can't let Zi'er not believe her words, so I must keep Chunyu Zijin."
As Mo Zhilan spoke, he suddenly curved his lips and smiled, "If she is determined to have you, will the Prime Minister abandon me for the position of Shuo Yue's consort?"
Her long eyelashes blinked slowly, and Lan Qingruo's fair and handsome face looked calm.
He did not rush to answer Mo Zhilan's question, but remained silent for a moment.
How could he not know the profound meaning of Mo Zhilan's question...
He is the head of the Lan family, a family of heroes. He is a member of the Lan family. He has been loyal to Tian Che for hundreds of years and will never betray him, so he is called the "Heavenly Man" family.
As the head of the Lan family and Prime Minister Tianche, his status is extremely noble, and he does not even need to kneel down to worship the emperor or queen. He is proud of himself.
"Be concerned about the world's worries first", "serve the country and the king" and "diligently serve the people" are his ancestral mottos and the purpose of the Lan family's existence.
He was born frail, and had an accident five years ago, leaving the root of his illness to this day.
However, he never slacked off at home or country - until Chunyu Zijin appeared.
Chunyu Zijin is different from any other woman. She knows exactly what she wants and never hides her desires.
She kept saying that she fell in love with him at first sight, but unfortunately, in Chunyu Zijin's eyes, he saw the same thing as himself - that was desolation and indifference.
Presumably, such a supreme emperor as Mo Zhilan also knew it very well, so he asked himself this question.
What Chunyu Zijin wants is not Lan Qingruo, but the head of the Lan family, a family known as "Heavenly Man".
Even if this person is not Lan Qingruo, Chunyu Zijin will get it at all costs.
As Princess Shuo Yue, she needs the world-famous "Head of the Lan Family" and "Prime Minister Tian Che" to submit to Shuo Yue.
If Shuo Yue gets the "Lan Family", he will have no worries like Tian Che if he gets the "Feng Family".
The silence in Zichen Palace lasted for a moment, and Lan Qingruo's cold and quiet voice came: "I will live up to your Majesty."
Mo Zhilan raised his thin lips silently, half-smiling: "What the Prime Minister said today, I hope you can remember that the Lan family is the founding hero of Tianche, and may also become Tianche's treasonous ministers. As the Prime Minister advances and retreats,
