Yi Zilan didn't say anything and even agreed.
Yes, he just felt that Gu Yundong was smart and her father was not bad either. When the time came, he would definitely be a great help to the emperor in governing the court.
He was abandoning his personal grudges for the sake of the country. He had a righteous heart.
However, right after that, the Emperor said, "However, there's still more than a year before the village examination. We have to pass through the open road regarding the magnifying glass."
He thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea. He said to the eunuch beside him, "Prepare a decree."
Yi Zilan was stunned and looked over in surprise.
Even when the emperor stamped the imperial edict, he was still in a daze.
The magnifying glass had been left behind by the emperor, and Yi Zilan had left the palace. The imperial edict had not been announced yet, so it was not time yet.
