Chapter 95: Impeachment
"I believe His Majesty would not want to see such a scene."
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo thought about it carefully.
The two of them put themselves in each other's shoes.
I think Gan Luo's actions were quite reasonable.
"Your Highness is indeed clever."
The following day, in the imperial court.
The ministers all began to impeach Gan Luo.
"Your Majesty, the princess openly sent gifts to Lord Shangguan. Isn't this a way of currying favor with him?"
“Yes, Your Majesty, women are not allowed to interfere in state affairs, but the current princess has some dealings with Lord Shangguan, which is against the rules.”
The ministers were all talking at once.
Others, however, focused their attention directly on Shangguan Nantian.
Shangguan Nantian felt as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world when he heard what they said.
"What Her Highness is giving me now is nothing more than some compensation. My son was abandoned by Her Highness, so what's wrong with Her Highness giving me some compensation now?"
Then Shangguan Nantian asked the officials, "What is your intention in constantly criticizing Her Highness the Princess here?"
This was the first time Shangguan Nantian had faced these people's comments head-on.
The officials around witnessed this scene.
They were all surprised at that moment.
They never expected that Shangguan Nantian would dare to refute them.
The person sitting on the dragon throne was getting a headache from their noise.
"Shut up, everyone."
With just a few simple words, the officials below all shut their mouths.
They all remained silent.
"What Lord Shangguan said just now is indeed quite reasonable. I also think that you are simply stirring up trouble out of nothing."
None of them expected that Gan Yanling would openly protect Shangguan Nantian.
And naturally, some officials stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, this princess is clearly trying to win you over. You can't let this go unchecked. Her power is already so great; if she were a minister in the court, she would surely become..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gan Yanling's face turned frighteningly cold.
"I don't want to say it a second time. If you continue to say this, I don't mind losing your head today."
In fact, Gan Yanling did it on purpose; he did this only to ease the tension between himself and Gan Luo.
Having witnessed the previous poisoning and now the snow lotus incident, Gan Luo no longer trusts Gan Yanling.
If they were to openly confront Shangguan Nantian now...
Isn't this just provoking Gan Luo's bottom line?
As for Gan Yanling, he never intended to take Gan Luo's life.
They just wanted to keep suppressing Gan Luo.
If we want to suppress Gan Luo now, we can only do so slowly.
If you act too hastily, it will only backfire.
How could he not understand such a principle?
For Gan Yanling, the only thing that was giving him a headache right now was how to get Gan Luo to believe him.
The assembled officials were all stunned by Gan Yanling's actions.
They all focused their attention on the prime minister.
The prime minister, being a shrewd man, paid them no heed.
Instead, they stood where they were supposed to stand.
Some officials, lacking foresight, stepped forward directly.
"Why did Your Majesty say that you should think twice before acting?"
Meanwhile, inside the princess's residence.
Gan Luo was quite curious when she learned that the ministers in the court were impeaching her today. What were they saying?
Gan Luo then decided to go to the imperial court in person.
"Your Highness, are you really going to the imperial court?"
The officials involved in this court infighting have a lot of opinions about His Highness.
Aside from the military generals outside the imperial court, Gan Luo was respected.
No one else would respect Gan Luo.
At this moment, Gan Luo looked up and glanced at the green bamboo and the jade bamboo.
"I have already made my decision."
Gan Luo thought these ministers were really outrageous.
Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian entered the palace. Gan Luo originally had a sword at his waist, but he handed it to the guards in the main hall before entering.
Lin Fengmian stood outside the main hall.
The guards were stunned for a moment, wondering if they had seen it correctly. The princess had actually handed over her sword to them.
After all, they had just been thinking that the princess would probably go in with a sword.
In the end, the princess did not do that.
"I am quite curious about what you ministers have said about me. Why don't you all tell me in front of me? What do you ministers think?"
The ministers heard the woman's voice and turned their attention to Gan Luo.
When did Gan Luo arrive? They hadn't even noticed.
When Gan Yanling saw Gan Luo arrive, it was as if he had seen a savior.
When Gan Luo arrived, the court officials immediately shut their mouths.
Shangguan Nantian felt a little happy.
"Weren't you all having a lively discussion before I arrived? Why have you all fallen silent now that I'm here? Do I look like I'm going to eat people?"
They all listened to what Gan Luo said and stood silently in place without saying a word.
Gan Luo went to ask them one by one.
Unexpectedly, some officials were so frightened that they knelt down on the ground with a thud.
Gan Luo couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this.
"I thought you officials were incredibly arrogant, but now it seems you're nothing special."
Gan Luo stared at them with a half-smile.
They were all terrified by Gan Luo's gaze and retreated.
This is absolutely terrifying!
"What brings you here to court today, my royal sister?"
"If I hadn't come, how could I have seen such a lively show?"
Gan Luo glanced at Gan Yanling. After all, this was an emperor, and there were so many ministers present. No matter what Gan Yanling had done, Gan Luo had to give him face.
Subsequently, Gan Luo bowed to Gan Yanling in front of all the ministers.
Gan Yanling naturally stepped down himself and helped Gan Luo up.
"Royal elder sister, you and I are siblings, so there is no need for you to bow when you see me in the future."
"No matter what, these rules still need to be in place."
Gan Luo walked up to the official who had been speaking ill of him.
"The gifts I presented to Lord Shangguan serve two purposes: firstly, to compensate him, and secondly, to show you all that I am protecting him. After all, you have been constantly targeting Lord Shangguan. Are you now unwilling to admit it?"
They originally thought that Gan Luo would be unaware of their private feud.
Unexpectedly, Gan Luo mentioned it directly in front of everyone.
