Chapter 1418: Chapter 1417: Imperative
"I propose Mr. Lan as the master of Lingjiu Hall. What does Your Majesty think? What opinions do others have?"
The Duke Yu turned around and looked at everyone present.
Lan Fan remained silent, but his gaze was somewhat indifferent.
Clearly, like a true National Advisor, not disregarding everything, but rather, none of this caught his eye.
Indeed, there was some semblance of the National Advisor’s demeanor in him.
However, the former National Advisor always possessed a calm tranquility.
Yet, this Mr. Lan lacked that aura continuously.
Though lacking, if the National Advisor really lost his Spiritual Qi due to severe injury, Lingjiu Hall could not remain without a master.
It’s known that on the first and fifteenth of each month, Lingjiu Hall must hold a blessing ceremony.
And the first day of next month is only a few days away.
If the National Advisor does not wake up...
"What does Your Majesty think?" Duke Yu asked again.
This time, his tone was noticeably heavier.
Chu Jiangnan, however, turned his head to look at Chu Qianli and gently asked, "What does the Princess think?"
Does this mean the Emperor also wants to hear the Princess’s opinion?
The Emperor trusts the newly found Princess too much.
Duke Yu knew well Chu Qianli would certainly block this matter, even the rebuttal was prepared.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qianli said something completely unforeseen: "Since the National Advisor suffered a great loss of Spiritual Qi last time, he indeed has not recovered yet."
"This matter, I don’t want to deceive everyone; I also don’t know when the National Advisor might wake up."
All ministers felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
The National Advisor was seriously wounded!
The situation is only worse than the Princess described!
Now, does Lingjiu Hall really need a new master?
Duke Yu was stunned for a moment, suddenly not knowing what to say.
Isn’t Chu Qianli now causing herself trouble by helping him so unexpectedly?
He hesitated, still doubting Chu Qianli’s sincerity: "Then, Lingjiu Hall..."
Chu Qianli gently affirmed, "Lingjiu Hall cannot remain without a master for a single day, if the National Advisor does not wake, naturally one must find a new master."
Duke Yu was suddenly brightened, though puzzled by Chu Qianli’s alignment with his stance, clearly it favored them!
"Since even Princess agrees to invite a new master for Lingjiu Hall, I believe Mr. Lan is the most suitable choice at present."
"As of now, Mr. Lan indeed seems to be the most suitable choice," Chu Qianli nodded.
Duke Yu still felt some doubts: "Does the Princess... really agree?"
Isn’t this reversal too drastic?
What is Chu Qianli really up to? She had always regarded them as thorns in her flesh, why is she willing to support Lan Fan?
Lan Fan also couldn’t understand Chu Qianli’s intentions, yet his expression remained unmoved, as if dismissing everything indifferently.
No matter what was said, it couldn’t alter the distinguished air on his face.
Chu Qianli smiled, "As long as it benefits the people of Nanming, I naturally will agree, but..."
She paused, seemingly in a predicament.
Duke Yu’s expression noticeably changed.
This damned girl, she really is scheming, yet doesn’t know what excuse she’ll use this time!
So long as the National Advisor is not recovering, any excuse won’t succeed.
Lan Fan must become the National Advisor this time; the matter is imperative!
