Chapter 477: Cannon fodder under the emperor's love, hate and hatred 8

"Uncle, cousin." Seeing Liu Yu and Liu Chengjun coming over, Lian Zhilan hurriedly called out.

"Zhilan is here." Liu Yu's attitude was a little cold.

Lian Zhilan didn't notice it and smiled: "Well, I haven't seen uncle and cousin for almost two years. I came here as soon as I heard that you were back."

"You are thoughtful."

Liu Yu didn't mean to say more to Lian Zhilan. After a few words, he asked someone to come and serve the dishes. Lian Zhilan naturally ate with the Liu family, and said after the meal: "Uncle, I have something to tell you."

Hearing Lian Zhilan's words, Liu Yu frowned, "Come with me."

Liu Yu took Lian Zhilan to the study and said directly: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Seeing Liu Yu so direct, Lian Zhilan did not hide it, "Uncle, it's what I wrote to you before. Now I have been married to the seventh prince by His Majesty, and I am completely tied to the seventh prince. Can you help us?"

"Zhilan, I told you before that the hearts of the royal family are unpredictable, and asked you not to get involved, but you still insisted on your own way..."

"Uncle, this marriage was ordered by His Majesty, and the Prime Minister's Office cannot disobey the order." Lian Zhilan didn't want to hear this, so she interrupted Liu Yu directly.

Hearing Lian Zhilan say this, without any intention of turning back, Liu Yu found it very funny. Directly said: "I know what happened when you received my letter and how the imperial edict was issued. You don't have to pretend to be confused with me."

Liu Yu's words were already a bit ruthless, and Lian Zhilan felt very aggrieved, "Uncle, I did this for a reason. Now I am on the same boat with the Seventh Prince. Please help us. If the Seventh Prince takes the throne, the Zhenbei Marquisate will be able to make further progress in the future."

"No need! The current state of the Zhenbei Marquisate is the best, and there is no need to make further progress. I said before that I will not help the Seventh Prince." Seeing Lian Zhilan's shocked face, Liu Yu thought of seeing her rebirth in a dream.

Since Lian Zhilan has lived a new life, why is she still so confused? Suddenly, she felt a little disappointed.

"Zhilan, you should know how complicated the royal family is. Why do you continue to choose the prince?"

"Uncle, you don't understand!" I don't understand what kind of hatred she is carrying, and I don't understand what she is doing.

Only by helping other princes to ascend to that position and making Li Wenji fail, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion can be safe, and among all the princes, the Seventh Prince is the most suitable. The Seventh Prince made Li Wenji suffer a lot in his previous life, and he was the one who made Li Wenji hate him. Moreover, he did not have much help and would not kill the donkey after it had done its job.

Liu Yu did not know Lian Zhilan's "good intentions", and looked at her complicated face and said: "I don't understand, so we have nothing to say."

Seeing that Liu Yu directly followed her words, Lian Zhilan was a little unbelievable, "Uncle, do you really not love me? If you don't help us, what should I do if the Seventh Prince fails?"

"This is the consequence you should consider when choosing the Seventh Prince."

Lian Zhilan and Liu Yu finally parted unhappily, and Lian Zhilan left the mansion with red eyes.

Lian Zhilan's eyes were still red when she returned home. The Prime Minister's wife Liu Yan saw her daughter went happily, but came back like this, and asked: "Zhilan, what's wrong?"

It would have been fine if no one asked, but someone cared. Lian Zhilan's grievances surged up again, and she threw herself into Liu Yan's arms and complained: "Mom, my uncle doesn't love me anymore, he has become so strange now."

"What happened, didn't your uncle always love you the most?"

"Uncle doesn't want to help the Seventh Prince, mother, you also know this, now we especially need uncle's help, but uncle..." Lian Zhilan burst into tears as she spoke.

She had been thinking about getting rid of the tragedy of her previous life, so she went to make a deal with the Seventh Prince, not only for herself, but also for the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion!

"Don't cry, I'll go and tell your uncle tomorrow, don't cry." Seeing Lian Zhilan crying sadly, Liu Yan felt very distressed. She only has this one daughter, who has been spoiled since she was a child, and her brother also likes Zhilan very much, why is it like this today?

Hearing that her mother was going to talk to the Marquis of Zhenbei, Lian Zhilan asked: "Mom, what if uncle really doesn't want to help us?"

"No, mom will go and talk to him tomorrow and make him agree."

"Okay, then you must convince him."

"Well, don't cry, you're not a child, it will be a joke if people spread it."

"Well, I won't cry." After getting the guarantee, Lian Zhilan smiled.

Liu Yan told Prime Minister Lian about this matter in the evening, and Prime Minister Lian felt uncomfortable after hearing it.

"I don't know why my eldest brother is so determined about this matter, it's obviously a very sure thing."

"I don't know, I'll go back and talk to him tomorrow, I will try my best to convince him."

"Thank you for your hard work, madam."

"It's not hard."

Liu Yan was very confident and went back to her parents' home the next day. Knowing that her daughter was back, the old lady was very happy, and her face was full of wrinkles with smiles.

"Yan'er, what's the matter with you coming back?"

"Nothing, I just came to see my brother and Chengjun."

"Yesterday, Zhilan came here as soon as she heard that her uncle and cousin were back. You two are really..."

Liu Yan talked to the old lady for a long time, and took the opportunity to find out if her brother had encountered anyone or anything recently, or if there was anything wrong, and why his attitude was so firm. However, her mother acted as if she knew nothing about this matter, and she was shocked to realize that her brother had not told her mother.

Since her mother didn't know, Liu Yan didn't tell her on her own initiative and skipped the topic.

When Liu Yu came back from the court, he knew about Liu Yan's return and soon understood her purpose. Liu Yan didn't hide it and soon found Liu Yu to make it clear.

"Brother, you should have guessed why I came today."

"Yeah." Liu Yu responded, but he quickly expressed his determination and said, "Yan'er, no matter who comes, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will not participate in the fight for the throne."

"Brother, why? Our two families are one in the eyes of outsiders. Even if you don't participate, they won't believe it. Why don't you want to help us?"

"Yan'er, this matter is not as simple as you think."

"So what? Anyway, I came to ask you in person today, just say whether you agree or not."

"No."

Hearing Liu Yu blurt out But she refused, Liu Yan was dumbfounded, "Brother, how could you do this?"

"Yan'er, the current state of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is the best. It is not close to any officials, and the emperor is relieved. If you help anyone, this state will be broken."

"But you are not helping others, but Zhilan. Zhilan will not harm the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. I think you are just worrying about nothing."

"Zhilan can be trusted, but what about the seventh prince? Anyway, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will not participate in the fight for the throne. I am the head of the family. I have to consider the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and those clansmen."

"You..."

In the end, Liu Yan was angry and left like Lian Zhilan.
