Prime Minister Lu nodded.
"Prime Minister Lu underestimated the family loyalty between my Bai siblings..."
Just like our grandmother underestimated Bai Qingyan. Today's Bai Qingyan is no longer the Bai Qingyan of yesterday; she understands what it means to conceal illness in the mountain forests and camouflage filth in the rivers and marshes.
She also acknowledges that an emperor, who can unify the world, must be able to tolerate both the greatest good and the greatest evil of the world. But this doesn't mean that a monarch cannot uphold a bottom line, cannot cherish familial bonds.
Prime Minister Lu glanced at Bai Jinse behind Bai Qingyan and saw that Bai Jinse showed no sign of joy or anger when Bai Qingyan said she would select a suitable successor from among her siblings.
