After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 421: Gone

After an unknown amount of time, Gan Luo finished eating and began to feel sleepy. At that moment, the divine physician naturally approached Gan Luo and prepared to administer acupuncture.

"Your Highness, although you have just finished eating, you cannot fall asleep here now. Otherwise, it will be harmful to your health. Please hold on for a little longer."

Gan Luo then asked the divine physician if he had added anything calming to the mixture.

The doctor immediately shook his head, explaining that the snow lotus itself has a calming effect.

Gan Luo suddenly realized what was going on, and then turned around to look at the people behind him.

Gan Luo turned his attention to them, wanting to ask them some questions.

"Where has Guard Lin gone? I didn't see him today. Logically, Guard Lin should be here today..."

They all naturally told Gan Luo at this time that Lin Fengmian had left earlier that morning.

For some reason, Gan Luo had a bad feeling, as if something big had happened.

After some deep thought, Gan Luo went directly to Lin Fengmian's room and found a letter left by Lin Fengmian.

Gan Luo carefully read through the letter written by Lin Fengmian, and it was at that moment that he understood.

It turned out that Lin Fengmian had gone to the Shadow Hall to handle some matters at this time. Gan Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief, as he had been very worried at the beginning.

After Gan Luo finished his preparations, he went to rest. Meanwhile, in the palace...

Shangguan Nantian was naturally here. He came to the Imperial Garden and sat down, but at this moment he felt that he was extremely bored in the palace.

After all, one cannot simply go to the market while inside the palace.

"Lord Shangguan, His Majesty wishes to invite you to play a game of chess. I wonder if you would be willing to go to such a place and play a game of chess with His Majesty at this time?"

Upon hearing Xiao Li Zi's artistic remarks, Shangguan Nantian nodded slightly and then followed Xiao Li Zi into the Imperial Study.

Unexpectedly, the game of chess was already set up. At this moment, Gan Yanling saw Shangguan Nantian arrive at this place and asked Shangguan Nantian to sit opposite him.

"The game of chess I'm playing here feels like a blank board right now. I wonder if Lord Shangguan could solve this blank board at this very moment."

It turned out that Gan Yanling was playing chess with himself, but at this moment, Gan Yanling realized that there was no way to solve this game.

So, Gan Yanling now wants to summon Shangguan Nantian to this place and ask him if he can help him untangle this whole mess.

At this moment, Shangguan Nantian instantly understood that the person in front of him wanted him to solve this whole game for him, which must have made him feel a little frustrated.

After thinking it over carefully, he realized that he could place a white piece right there. But what he didn't expect was that Gan Yanling would pick up the piece.

"Why would you place this flag in such a place? It's really quite unbelievable to me. If you place it here, the two black pieces around it will be swallowed up. If that happens, do you know that this white piece will be in danger?"

Shangguan Nantian must have already explained these principles to Gan Yanling, explaining why such a chess piece was placed here. At this moment, Gan Yanling was naturally listening to the principles explained by the person in front of him.

After listening to the whole thing, everyone felt that Shangguan Nantian's words made a lot of sense. At this moment, Shangguan Nantian had already reorganized the whole game, and unexpectedly, it turned out to be a game with a solution.

"Your Majesty, you must have some thoughts on this matter. If Your Majesty does, please tell me directly."

Shangguan Nantian was a very quick-witted person. After all, Shangguan Nantian must have felt that Gan Yanling was definitely troubled by something.

Gan Yanling is currently unable to resolve this matter, which is why he resorted to this elaborate scheme to express his inner thoughts.

Because Gan Yanling couldn't figure it out and didn't have any good solutions at this time, this game of chess was truly unsolvable.

"I must say, my dear minister, you are truly an amazing person. You actually guessed my thoughts at this moment. It's really unbelievable. I feel quite frustrated at this moment."

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this that the monarch harbored some worries.

Then Shangguan Nantian asked Gan Yanling what was causing his distress. Gan Yanling had already told Shangguan Nantian that it was because of the relationship between him and Gan Luo.

"The relationship between me and my elder sister is actually quite strained. Before this, I really thought that the relationship between me and my elder sister had made some progress, but now I realize that I was thinking too much."

Especially since Gan Luo had barely taken a bite of food before leaving, showing no intention of staying any longer, it was clear that Gan Luo simply didn't want to talk to him.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have poisoned Gan Luo beforehand.
