Chapter 309: The Man in Black
Chapter 309: The Man in Black
During these past few days, Gan Luo definitely hadn't even left the princess's residence, but had been guarding it. The group of men in black around him were all in a state of confusion at this moment.
"Why do you think Gan Luo hasn't left the princess's residence in the last few days? What could be the reason?"
"Actually, I'm also very curious about this. I'm also quite curious as to why Her Highness hasn't left the Princess's residence in the last few days. Why don't we just go in and take a look? What do you think?"
One of the men in black said this very quietly.
When one of the men in black said this, the others immediately said that if they went in like this, they might get caught red-handed, which would be bad. More importantly, Yuan Zheng had been guarding this place for the past few days.
Yuan Zheng then sensed that there were people around him. He immediately summoned all the guards around him. After the guards were summoned, they prepared to go and were eager to know what had happened.
"Commander, what do you think is the best course of action for us next?"
Upon hearing this, the commander turned his gaze to them and told them that they must be very careful in this place from now on.
Yuan Zheng then told them that there were people around. Upon hearing that there were people, their expressions changed instantly, as they had never imagined that there would be anyone there.
"If there are people around, then why don't we, as commander, thoroughly check the surrounding area? What do you think?"
Yuan Zheng shook his head, indicating that they would take it one step at a time. Upon hearing this, they could only stay quietly to the side, but they were all really curious about who was staying in this place.
The group of men in black sensed that their presence had been discovered, so they left and returned to the Prime Minister's residence.
"Prime Minister Xu, your subordinates have been constantly staying around the Princess's residence recently, but we have discovered that Her Highness has not left the residence at all. As for the reason for this, your subordinates are not very clear."
"You're saying that Her Highness the Princess has been staying in her work clothes all this time and hasn't left the house at all? This is something that even I find quite puzzling. I simply can't understand why Her Highness the Princess hasn't gone out these past few days."
Meanwhile, Gan Yanling was also surprised to learn that Gan Luo hadn't left the palace in the past few days and had been staying there. The ministers on the grass were saying, "Your Majesty, could it be that Her Highness's injuries are quite serious, which is why she can't even leave the palace?"
Shangguan Mufeng was particularly curious about Gan Luo's health condition. Why hadn't he left the princess's residence these past few days and instead stayed there the whole time?
Then Shangguan Nantian stepped forward and said, "What do you all mean by saying this? Do you hope that something bad will happen to Her Highness the Princess? What I want to tell you is that I believe Her Highness the Princess is safe and sound. Please stop cursing Her Highness here."
Gan Yanling decided to visit Gan Luo after leaving the court.
After the court session, Gan Yanling went directly to the Princess's residence. To their surprise, the gates of the Princess's residence were tightly closed.
Gan Yanling then turned his attention to the entrance of the Princess's residence, walked over, and gently knocked on the door.
The steward heard the knocking and opened the door. When he saw Gan Yanling, he naturally bowed respectfully.
Led by the butler, they arrived at Gan Luo's courtyard. Unexpectedly, Gan Luo was lying in the courtyard, leisurely basking in the sun and eating fruit.
"What kind of wind could have blown His Majesty all the way here to me? It's quite surprising."
During these past few days, Gan Luo had not left the princess's residence, and he knew nothing about what had happened outside.
"I was just worried because I heard that my elder sister hadn't even left the princess's residence these past few days. So I wanted to come and see her. I didn't expect that she was alright. I'm relieved."
Gan Luo stood up abruptly, clapped his hands, and burst into laughter. "So you've come here now to see if I'm dead or not?"
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? I am truly worried about your health, and I hope you can understand."
Gan Luo felt it was all crocodile tears and feigned compassion. How many eyes in the court were hoping for something to happen to Gan Luo?
More importantly, once something happens in the court, they try their best to pin it on Gan Luo. They think to Gan Luo, "He's not an official in the court. What's the point of piling all these things on his head?"
The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. Then Gan Luo sat down in the chair and lay back leisurely.
"I would like to rest here for a while. Your Majesty, please make yourself at home."
Little Li, who was standing to the side, saw Gan Luo's rudeness and was about to reprimand him, but was stopped by Gan Yanling.
Gan Yanling indicated that if Gan Luo had nothing else to say, he would leave.
Upon arriving outside, Xiao Li couldn't help but speak to Gan Yanling, "Your Majesty, why doesn't Your Highness punish this princess who is so rude?"
"Because Her Highness the Princess is my elder sister, my eldest sister. What right do I have to scold my own sister? Don't you agree?"
As the saying goes, an elder sister is like a mother, isn't she?
If he were to confront Gan Luo now, he would surely be ridiculed by the world.
He didn't want to take the blame, which is why he let Gan Luo do these things.
He would only turn a blind eye to what Gan Luo had done.
Little Li Zi truly felt that Gan Yanling was extremely indulgent towards Gan Luo.
