Chapter 82: Feigned Intent
In my sleep.
Gan Luo suddenly dreamt of his past and future, then woke up drenched in sweat.
Looking back, it feels like yesterday.
Gan Luo was determined that things could not be the same as before.
For Gan Luo, his only wish was to have his desires fulfilled.
Hopefully, the same mistakes will not be repeated.
If he were to repeat the same mistake, Gan Luo felt that he had truly committed treachery in this lifetime...
A cool breeze blew in through the window, and Gan Luo felt a chill.
Inside the palace, Gan Yanling learned that Gan Luo had fallen ill again.
They all pretended to come and visit Gan Luo.
Actually, they wanted to know how serious Gan Luo's condition was.
Gan Yanling arrived at the princess's residence.
When Gan Luo learned that Gan Yanling had arrived, he naturally let everyone in.
At this moment, Gan Yanling was a little surprised. If it were before, shouldn't Gan Luo have refused?
How could Gan Luo agree to let Gan Yanling enter now?
Gan Yanling brought snow lotus with her this time.
We finally managed to find the snow lotus. If it turns out to be useless, wouldn't it be a waste?
Moreover, Gan Yanling lost a bodyguard in the process of searching for the Snow Lotus.
But how exactly should we tell Gan Luo about the effects of this snow lotus later?
Previously, I consulted the imperial physicians, but it seems that no one knew about the hidden toxicity of the snow lotus.
His sister probably doesn't know.
A smile appeared on Gan Yanling's lips.
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo looked at Gan Yanling, wondering why he was smiling all of a sudden.
"Your Majesty, would you like to come in?"
After all, Gan Yanling is right here, standing there like a wooden figure.
Judging from Gan Yanling's appearance, he didn't seem to have any intention of going in.
How could this not make Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo anxious?
Gan Yanling glanced at the green bamboo and jade bamboo but ignored them.
Gan Yanling entered the princess's residence and caught a glimpse of Lin Ruohua.
Although it was just a view from behind, for some reason Gan Yanling felt that Lin Ruohua looked somewhat familiar.
Lin Ruohua felt a burning gaze.
Just as she was about to turn around, she caught a glimpse of the gold-embroidered boots out of the corner of her eye, and Lin Ruohua knew that the emperor had arrived.
Lin Ruohua had no intention of paying her respects to the emperor.
To avoid the possibility that Gan Luo might need Lin Ruohua to replace him in the future, which would be discovered.
Why don't you turn around and greet me?
"Your Majesty is unaware that I am ugly and I am afraid of frightening you."
Lin Ruohua even lowered her voice to make it sound somewhat muffled.
Fortunately, Lin Ruohua is now dressed in rather old-fashioned clothes.
Her hair was casually tied up.
Just then, Gan Luo came out and coughed a few times.
"The imperial brother has arrived."
Gan Luo walked up to Gan Yanling and kept his distance from it.
Having overheard Gan Yanling and Lin Ruohua's conversation again, Gan Luo understood Lin Ruohua's thoughts.
"Since you are ugly, why don't you get down quickly, lest you offend His Majesty's eyes any longer?"
Green Bamboo couldn't understand Gan Luo's intentions. This Ling girl was clearly as beautiful as a fairy, so why did Gan Luo say she was ugly...?
Although he didn't understand Gan Luo's intentions, he didn't say much and stood silently to the side.
"Elder sister, you were just recovering a few days ago, and now you're sick again."
"I was in a bad mood yesterday and got caught in the rain in the garden. My illness has not fully recovered and has only worsened slightly. Your Majesty need not worry too much."
Gan Yanling looked at Gan Luo with a pained expression, but Gan Luo knew all too well that Gan Yanling was happy.
Gan Luo raised his head and glanced at Gan Yanling.
"Your Majesty has been standing here for a while. Let me take Your Majesty inside, lest word get out and outsiders say that I am not courteous enough."
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? We are siblings, how could there be any lack of consideration?"
Gan Luo suddenly remembered something he had heard yesterday.
Gan Luo then became serious.
"I have a question for you. Did you bestow a mansion upon the Prince, and is this mansion called the Prince's Mansion?"
"I didn't expect that my elder sister would find out about this so quickly."
Gan Yanling feigned surprise.
"I also know that all the officials came to the palace yesterday."
Gan Luo really couldn't understand why Gan Yanling did this. Wasn't he afraid that Xin Ruyu would rebel?
"I have a question for you. Aren't you afraid that this person might do something..."
Before Gan Luo could finish speaking, Gan Yanling directly informed Gan Luo.
"Your Majesty, we have already sent people to investigate. This Prince Yu doesn't have much power. Even if he has a mansion in the capital, nothing bad will happen to him."
Looking at her younger brother, Gan Luo had only one thought in his mind.
"Innocent."
Gan Luo found it all quite amusing.
If it weren't for naivety, why would I have been manipulated in my previous life? And why would I have listened to slander?
Did they suspect Gan Luo of plotting a rebellion and poison him?
Her younger brother was far too easily swayed by the words of treacherous officials.
These treacherous officials, however, are comparable to his own sister.
Gan Luo sometimes really wanted to know what Gan Yanling was thinking.
While mind reading can indeed uncover a person's thoughts, it can only guess what that person is thinking at that moment.
If Gan Luo had been interested in the throne, she would probably have become an empress long ago.
Unfortunately, Gan Luo had no interest in the throne.
Gan Luo only wanted to assist his younger brother in securing the throne.
Once Gan Yanling is capable of handling things independently, Gan Luo will naturally return the power to him.
Unfortunately, Gan Yanling insisted on going against Gan Luo's wishes.
"Since Your Majesty has your own ideas, I will not say anything more. I only want to tell Your Majesty one thing: you must be careful in everything you do."
After all, he was Gan Luo's own brother, and Gan Luo ultimately couldn't bring himself to kill him.
"Elder sister, let's not talk about these unpleasant things for now. Your younger brother has brought you something good this time."
Gan Yanling had a slight smile on his face, and Gan Luo looked on with a hint of curiosity.
Gan Yanling clapped his hands lightly, and Jiang Yu was carrying a wooden tray.
The wooden plate was exquisitely carved, and there was even a pure white snow lotus on it.
The center of the snow lotus emitted a pale blue light.
I was somewhat surprised to see this snow lotus.
"Where did you get this snow lotus?"
"Your Majesty, I have heard that snow lotus is good for health, so I specially sent people to the snow mountain to find it. Your body is in dire need of nourishment right now, and snow lotus is a great tonic. I have come here to give it to you."
Gan Luo walked up to Gan Yanling.
Looking at this snow lotus, it appears extremely fresh, suggesting it was obtained within the last few days.
"Your Majesty is very kind."
Gan Luo accepted the snow lotus, but Gan Yanling was overjoyed.
If Gan Luo eats the snow lotus, he will develop a hidden ailment.
This was exactly what Gan Yanling wanted.
After all, this wouldn't threaten Gan Luo's life, but it would weaken Gan Luo's strength.
