Chapter 138: Exploration
Finally, Lin Fengmian found Gan Luo as quickly as possible.
When Lin Fengmian came to find Gan Luo, Gan Luo looked up at Lin Fengmian and asked him how he was doing.
"Your Highness, I just estimated that if you were to go now, you would certainly miss the Prime Minister and the other man."
When Gan Luo heard these words, his eyes held a peculiar look, and he lingered there for a moment.
Gan Luo resolutely decided to go. Lin Fengmian didn't understand Gan Luo's intentions and asked him about them.
"I'd like to go and see if the princess of this neighboring country is truly ill or faking it, or if it's just a false rumor they've spread."
Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Lin Fengmian understood.
At the beginning, I couldn't quite explain it, but now I do.
By this time, the prime minister had naturally already left. However, unexpectedly, he encountered Gan Luo's carriage on his journey.
However, neither of them recognized the other.
Inside the inn, the princess from the neighboring country was carefully examining a luminous pearl when suddenly the people outside began to chatter amongst themselves.
"The Princess has arrived."
When they heard the name "Princess," their faces showed panic. Why had the Prime Minister come here before, and now the princess was here too? They didn't know Gan Luo's intentions. But the princess from the neighboring country didn't seem to care.
After all, she was a princess, and Gan Luo was also a princess, so their status was naturally the same.
The princess from the neighboring country sat there, showing no intention of paying her respects to Gan Luo.
"Your Highness, please lie down on this bed now."
Upon hearing this man's words, the princess from the neighboring country understood his meaning and naturally lay down on the bed.
The envoy from the neighboring country naturally came to the outside to receive Gan Luo, who looked him up and down.
"I heard that Her Highness the Princess is ill, so I came here specifically to see her. I wonder where Her Highness is now, and if I may see her."
The envoy from the neighboring country told Gan Luo that the princess had caught a cold, and if Gan Luo were to go see her, it would inevitably lead to…
Unexpectedly, he was reprimanded by Gan Luo.
"I am in excellent health and can go anywhere without any problems."
The envoy from the neighboring country couldn't persuade Gan Luo otherwise, so he had no choice but to bring Gan Luo to see the princess. The princess was lying on the bed and looked very ill.
When the princess from the neighboring country saw Gan Luo arrive, she pretended to be asleep.
"Your Highness, our princess is already asleep. Please do not disturb her, after all, Your Highness..."
"I understand. Why don't you come outside with me to talk?"
They had all naturally arrived outside by the end.
Although the neighboring countries were indeed small, they still deserved respect, and Gan Luo presented some gifts.
"Since I have come in person, I have naturally brought some gifts."
No one expected that this princess would be so generous.
Ganlu then presented the gift to this person.
"I wonder if you all like the gifts I brought."
After hearing what Gan Luo said, even if they didn't like it, they could only say they liked it nowadays, right?
Otherwise, they all felt that things would definitely turn out very badly next.
After all, they had all heard of Gan Luo's reputation. Gan Luo was decisive in killing and extremely ruthless.
"How could we not like the gifts brought by Your Highness? Your Highness is truly very considerate of us."
Gan Luo chatted with them for a while before leaving. Gan Luo had come here simply to determine whether the princess from the neighboring country was truly ill or faking it. Now it seemed that the princess from the neighboring country was faking it.
Now that the Prime Minister has come to the neighboring country, what exactly is his purpose?
Gan Luo decided that when he had time, he would definitely pay a proper visit to the Prime Minister and have a chat with him. Gan Luo remained silent the whole way, which made Lin Fengmian somewhat worried.
"Your Highness, has something happened? If so, please tell me."
When Gan Luo heard Lin Fengmian say this, he shook his head to indicate that he did not.
Meanwhile, the Prime Minister returned to his residence and heard a scout report that after he left, Gan Luo also went to the post station.
Upon learning of this, the Prime Minister dropped the letter he was holding. Gan Luo had gone to the post station; could he have seen the Prime Minister? If that were true, wouldn't that be...?
Upon returning to the princess's residence, Gan Luo was greeted by Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo. While Gan Luo lay on the soft couch inlaid with gold trim, Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo massaged his legs.
"It's kind of Your Highness to make a personal trip now. Did you discover anything on your journey?"
Gan Luo heard the man in front of him say these words in response to Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo.
"I didn't find anything special on this trip; I just confirmed what I had in mind."
Then Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo asked Gan Luo what his plans were for the future, and Gan Luo answered Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo.
"I have only one plan for now."
Gan Luo didn't say anything more, nor did he ask Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo about the debt they owed him, because they both understood that as a master, there were some things that Gan Luo didn't need to tell them, his servants.
"Guard Lin, what are your thoughts on the things the Prime Minister is doing these days?"
Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Lin Fengmian pondered deeply for a moment, but for that instant, he was at a loss for how to respond.
"I think the Prime Minister's trip is most likely aimed at winning over these envoys from neighboring countries."
What use would it be to win over a neighboring country with relatively weak military strength?
"Alright, I'm a little tired and I'm going to rest. Has Ruohua returned yet?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ruohua appeared in front of Gan Luo and greeted him.
"Your Highness, the divine physician has already returned with Young Master Lin."
"Since Young Master Lin's father is now ill, you might as well take some medicine to visit him. After all, Young Master Lin is also a member of the Princess's household."
Lin Ruohua did as Gan Luo instructed.
She understood Gan Luo's intention in doing so, after all, she was a smart person, and moreover, she had been following Gan Luo for so long.
