"I heard that Prime Minister Han has bid farewell and is about to leave the imperial city. I didn't expect to come to Ning'an Marquis Mansion."

In the lobby, Chu Huanyan ordered Xian Yue to serve tea, while Qin Li stood behind Chu Huanyan.

"Do you think the Queen is bothered by the truth?" Han Yang looked at Chu Huanyan with a rare smile on his face, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the smile was superficial.

"Prime Minister Han is overly worried. I am just a little surprised. After all, there seems to be no friendship between me and Prime Minister Han that requires a special farewell. Or... is Prime Minister Han's visit this time related to the Zhou family? "

In the palace before, the other party must have something to say that he had not yet finished speaking. Now before leaving, she came to visit again. Apart from this matter, she really couldn't think of any other reason.

"The Queen is smart, but the truth is that there is something wrong, and I want to ask the Queen for help."

"I wonder what Prime Minister Han is talking about?" Chu Huanyan sounded confused.

"In fact, the prime minister has always been very grateful to Mr. Zhou for his original guidance and admired Mr. Zhou's knowledge. After he became an official, he sent people many times to send gifts and letters. He also went to Jinzhou twice in person, but neither I haven’t received a reply, and I haven’t met Mr. Zhou.”

Han Yang sighed, with a rare expression of loneliness on his face.

"Perhaps Mr. Zhou is concerned about my current status, so I don't want to get involved anymore. But I really want to continue to communicate with Mr. Zhou for advice. So, I wonder if the Queen can be a mediator. Bridge, would you like to say a kind word to Mr. Zhou?"

Chu Huanyan looked at Han Yang, "Is this the only thing Prime Minister Han said?"

"Yes, maybe in the eyes of others, this matter is insignificant, and the contact is broken. But Mr. Zhou is indeed a person whom I sincerely admire. After many times, this matter has almost become a knot in my heart. , Han Yang would be grateful if I could get help from the Queen."

Han Yang's tone was sincere, and his indifferent expression showed sincerity, which made it difficult for people to doubt the authenticity of his words.

But...Chu Huanyan didn't believe it.

Although today was only the third time she and Han Yang had met, the other person gave the impression that he was definitely not someone who would be upset by this incident.

"The Queen doesn't believe it?" Han Yang looked into Chu Huanyan's eyes.

The latter looked away and shook his head, "I just feel a little surprised."

"What are you surprised about?" Han Yang continued to ask.

Chu Huanyan looked at him again, "To put it bluntly, compared to asking me to be the middleman, if you really want to meet, breaking into the Zhou family directly seems to be more in line with the feeling of Prime Minister Han."

"Oh, is it possible that in the Queen's heart, she is actually a bandit?"

"Not a bandit, but he doesn't look like someone who would be bothered by such a thing or even ask for help."

The fierce aura around Han Yang is really hard to ignore, as if he naturally exudes a decisive and decisive style.

"I only thought that the Empress was complimenting me, but unfortunately, I was really troubled by this matter, so I hope that the Empress can help." Han Yang brought the topic back to help.

Chu Huanyan was silent for a moment and slowly shook her head.

"I am afraid that I will disappoint Prime Minister Han. What I said in the palace before is not false. Whether it is my grandfather or uncle, I have not contacted them for many years. I really have no qualifications to be this middleman."

Even if what Han Yang said was true, his appearance here today was indeed just to ask him to say a few nice words in front of his grandfather.

But why her grandfather alienated Han Yang, was it really just because he wanted to avoid suspicion because he had become the left prime minister of Danyue Kingdom, or there were other reasons. These have not yet been clarified. In this case, she naturally could not agree to anything.

"After all, we are related by blood. Even if we haven't contacted each other for many years, according to my understanding of Mr. Zhou, I will never be ruthless to my empress." Han Yang seemed to still want to fight for it.

"Grandpa will not be ruthless, but I cannot be rude. I cannot accept this matter." Chu Huanyan had a clear attitude and acted as if there was no room for negotiation.

Seeing this, Han Yang was silent for a long time before standing up and speaking.

"In this case, let's just treat it as if the truth is bothering me. Please don't take it off, the Queen. I'll just treat it as if I've never been here before."

"I failed to help Prime Minister Han, please forgive me." Chu Huanyan also stood up and said.

After half a stick of incense, he sent the person out of the house. When he returned, Qin Li curiously asked Chu Huanyan: "Mother, are you not agreeing because you don't believe what Prime Minister Han said, or because you don't want to embarrass Mr. Zhou? "

"It's both, but..." Chu Huanyan paused.

"But what?" Qin Li asked subconsciously.

Chu Huanyan glanced at him, "But before you speak, should you let your Emperor come out first? Stop hiding it."

Halfway through what she was saying, she felt from the corner of her eye that Qin Li suddenly glanced outside the lobby, and as he was sending people away, Qin Li glanced to the side again when he left the lobby.

Qin Li didn't have the temperament to look around, so there was a high probability that it was Xiao Jinzhi who came.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Yan Yan." Xiao Jinzhi walked out from the other side.

"Your Majesty, this is not a letter reported by a subordinate. I only suddenly noticed the emperor's arrival when I was in the lobby." Qin Li explained quickly.

Although the emperor had previously given him an order not to let Han Yang have too much contact with the empress, Han Yang's sudden arrival today was really unexpected.

Of course, he also thought about whether to send a message to the secret guard while the empress was picking up someone in the front yard and ask him to send a message to the emperor, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

After all, if the empress thinks that he is spying on her and offends the empress, that will be more stressful than offending the emperor.

If you offend the emperor, you can only offend the emperor, but you can still ask your empress for help.

But offending the empress was tantamount to offending both the emperor and empress at once, and he couldn't bear it!

Xiao Jinzhi glanced at Qin Li and said, "You still have the nerve to say, what did you do wrong?"

Qin Li's heart tightened and he was about to explain.

"What, Qin Li's job is to monitor me and report to you at any time?" Chu Huanyan asked with raised eyebrows.

Qin Li breathed a sigh of relief, okay, there should be no need to explain.

This time, the person who explained was instantly replaced by Xiao Jinzhi, "Of course not, I'm just taking precautions to avoid poaching."

"Is His Majesty the Emperor delusional? Why do so many people want to poach you?" Chu Huanyan said helplessly.

She is now the queen of Tianyi Kingdom, and that Han Yang is only the third time they have met today. Even this has to be guarded against. Xiao Jinzhi...isn't he really full?

"My husband is being petty. Yan Yan shouldn't be angry." Xiao Jinshang stepped forward and coaxed, "Let's talk about Han Yang's desire to see his grandfather."

Chu Huanyan's expression became serious, "Do you think Han Yang's purpose is really just what he said?"

"I'm not sure about this yet, but..." Xiao Jinzhi looked serious, "I thought of a more important issue."
