Chapter 282: Moonlit Palace
When Gan Luo learned of this, she and Lin Fengmian went directly to the palace to visit Shangguan Tian'er. She really wanted to know what kind of methods Shangguan Tian'er had used to make Gan Yanling promote her to the rank of concubine time and time again.
"I must say that this Jade Bamboo is truly quite capable, and I am quite impressed with it. I wonder if you share the same thoughts as me nowadays."
Gan Luo asked Lin Fengmian, and Lin Fengmian nodded slightly, clearly sharing the same thought as Gan Luo.
Gan Luo finally came to see Yu Zhu, who is now living in the Moonflower Palace.
The Moonlit Palace was the residence of the former empress. Gan Luo was quite surprised that Gan Yanling would allow Shangguan Tian'er to live in such a place.
Gan Luo really couldn't understand what Gan Yanling's intentions were. Could it be that he hoped to make Shangguan Tian'er the so-called empress?
When Gan Luo arrived at the Moonflower Palace, Shangguan Tian'er immediately went up to him and bowed.
"Your Highness, what brings you here today? I was planning to go to your residence to tell you this good news. I have now become a concubine, and it is all because of Your Highness."
In fact, Gan Luo is still relatively worried about Shangguan Tian'er.
Gan Luo was terrified. What if Gan Yanling was doing this on purpose? If everyone's attention were focused on Shangguan Tian'er, she might be in danger.
As far as Gan Luo was concerned, he only hoped that Shangguan Tian'er could stay healthy and did not want her to die in the struggle for power in the harem.
"I know what Your Highness is thinking, but I am not afraid. Moreover, I am determined to help Your Highness."
When Prime Minister Xu learned of this, he immediately went to see Gan Yanling, completely baffled as to why Gan Yanling would promote Shangguan Tian'er.
"Your Majesty, why have you been promoting this concubine so many times in less than a month? I hope Your Majesty can tell me about this matter."
Not only did Prime Minister Xu come here, but Grand Tutor Zhao also came here, and the two of them questioned Gan Yanling together.
"I want to ask you something: Am I the emperor, or are you the emperor? Do I need to inform you of everything I do?"
For a moment, the two men were at a loss for words to answer Gan Yanling. At this moment, they felt that Gan Yanling was really there, and that he seemed to have changed somewhat. Ever since Gan Yanling took concubines, it seemed that he had been focusing his attention on the harem rather than the court.
These officials in the imperial court are now extremely worried about this matter.
They've all been thinking about what the best course of action should be next.
Ultimately, they decided to go find Gan Luo and talk to him about this matter, asking him to help Gan Yanling.
At this moment, Prime Minister Xu and Grand Tutor Zhao were pondering as soon as they arrived outside: were they really going to find Gan Luo?
"I don't know why, but I can't bring myself to go to the princess now. Although Her Highness is of high status, there is a grudge between us."
The two of them have a grudge against each other now. If they were to go to Gan Luo now, wouldn't they be laughed at? And it was only a few days ago that Prime Minister Xu and Gan Luo had this conflict.
They were whispering among themselves here.
Suddenly, he saw Grand Tutor Xu and Grand Preceptor Xu, and they immediately called the Grand Tutor aside. The Grand Tutor did not know why the two of them had called him here.
"Grand Tutor Li, there is something I need you to do. You need to go to the Princess's residence and tell her everything His Majesty has been doing recently, so that she can come and persuade His Majesty."
When Grand Tutor Li heard what they were saying, he found it somewhat laughable. Did they really have no way to persuade Gan Yanling?
At that moment, they were at a loss for words, so they discussed the hostility between the two nations. However, their consistent hope was that the country would develop in a positive direction, rather than regress, otherwise it would inevitably suffer the same fate as the previous dynasty.
"Now I have something to ask you. Have you forgotten how the previous dynasty was destroyed? I remember it very clearly. I hope you can remember the lessons of the previous dynasty. Some of you should be people from the previous dynasty."
Grand Tutor Li then arrived at the princess's residence, intending to inform Gan Luo of the matter. However, Gan Luo was not present at the princess's residence. Grand Tutor Li then inquired of the steward, "Where has Her Highness the Princess gone? I have come here to report an important matter to Her Highness."
Just then, Lou Yan arrived. Lou Yan had been completely transformed, and more importantly, his health had improved. Although he still had some aftereffects, they were not very serious.
"Your Highness has already left the Princess's residence. I wonder what you would like to say now?"
He never expected that Gan Luo would leave the princess's residence. Where has Gan Luo gone now?
Grand Tutor Li paced back and forth, after all, this matter was entrusted to him by Prime Minister Xu and Grand Tutor Zhao. If he did not handle this matter properly, he might offend both of them, and these two had a certain relationship with Gan Yanling.
Since there is a relationship between them, he absolutely cannot afford to offend them. After all, offending them would definitely lead to dire consequences in this court. He just wants to live a peaceful life and doesn't want to experience these things repeatedly.
After an unknown amount of time, they finally heard footsteps. Grand Tutor Li looked up and saw Gan Luo.
