Chapter 94: The Answer
"Green Bamboo, I underestimated you. I never expected you to go and buy hairpins for Her Highness the Princess."
Upon hearing this, Green Bamboo simply smiled calmly.
A gentle breeze blew in his face, and Gan Luo closed his eyes to savor it.
Upon smelling a faint scent of sandalwood, Gan Luo opened his eyes.
Just then, Yu Zhu asked Gan Luo a question.
"Your Highness, I didn't see Guard Lin today."
"Guard Lin? I don't recall ever seeing him before."
Gan Luo raised his head and looked at the green bamboo and the jade bamboo.
"came back."
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo were somewhat confused when they heard the words "returned".
They did not know what Gan Luo meant.
Suddenly, Lin Fengmian appeared in front of them.
When Lin Fengmian appeared in front of them.
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo were startled.
This person can scare people to death, okay?
"Guard Lin, how did you appear out of nowhere? You gave me quite a fright."
It wasn't just Lin Fengmian who returned; he was also carrying someone else in his arms.
This person was a man dressed in purple.
The man, with tattoos on his face, glared angrily at Lin Fengmian.
"Your Highness, it is the snow lotus that this person is looking for."
The man did not understand what Gan Luo meant.
"Why did Your Highness bring me here?"
"I have something to ask you."
The man spoke frankly and directly.
"Your Highness, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask directly. There is no need to beat around the bush here."
"I would like to ask you whether you were the one who sought out this snow lotus."
"Indeed, it was I who searched for it; it was His Majesty's men who went down there."
As soon as she finished speaking, Gan Luo knew that the emperor had deceived her once again.
After all, the emperor told Gan Luo that the snow lotus was obtained from the Imperial Hospital.
It was clearly the emperor who deliberately went looking for it.
At that time, Gan Luo only had doubts about the emperor.
It was just a warning.
But now we have a definitive answer.
Gan Luo's face was terribly gloomy.
The maids inside Gan Luo's room were all startled.
Noticing Gan Luo's expression, the man couldn't help but take a few steps back.
“Your Highness, all of this was done on His Majesty’s orders. I was simply following His Majesty’s command.”
Then Gan Luo noticed the jade pendant on the man's waist.
"I want to ask you, how many people like you exist?"
The man naturally informed Gan Luo.
"Your Highness is unaware of the fact that there are probably dozens of people like me."
There were only a few dozen people, which posed no threat to Gan Luo.
His younger brother is quite capable; he actually started training people behind the scenes.
I originally thought my younger brother would only be a...
In retrospect, it was also a powerful tool for cultivating oneself.
This is a good thing for Gan Luo.
But if the emperor was merely using these people to deal with the situation, Gan Luo didn't need to.
After all, Gan Luo did not want to see people killing each other.
Gan Luo only wanted to see people living together in harmony.
However, Gan Luo would never let him go back.
"The men who came locked him in a cage."
On the other side, inside the palace.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong."
"What's all this commotion about? I'm still alive. Anyone who didn't know better would think something terrible had happened."
This person then told the emperor the whole story.
The emperor's expression changed upon hearing this.
It seems that the Empress already knows about his actions.
They originally intended to use the Imperial Hospital as a front.
But in the end, it turned out that none of them were possible.
If Gan Luo were to consult the old imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital again...
Wouldn't that be...
Never mind, anyway, the poisoning incident has created a rift between them.
Even though there is some distance between them now, it cannot change the fact that they are siblings.
Inside the princess's mansion.
Gan Luo then inquired about the recent situation in the court.
"Your Highness, many people in the court are making trouble for Lord Shangguan."
Could the reason for the squeeze on Shangguan Nantian be because Gan Luo drove Shangguan Mufeng out?
Gan Luo did that simply to protect his family.
But unexpectedly, in the end, they still couldn't avoid being squeezed out.
Gan Luo never imagined things would turn out this way.
"I originally wanted to protect them, but I didn't expect it to backfire in the end."
Suddenly, Gan Luo had an idea.
“Go to the storeroom and take out a thousand taels of silver, and three bolts of silk and satin to send to Shangguan Nantian.”
Lin Fengmian was unaware of Gan Luo's intentions, and then Gan Luo mentioned that he wanted to make a big show of it.
Lin Fengmian did as Gan Luo instructed.
He swaggered around the street with his entourage.
The people on the street all gathered around and watched.
"What do you think is inside this?"
Some sharp-eyed people spotted the fine silks and satins.
"There are fine fabrics in here, and I think there is silver in this box."
Then they all started discussing it amongst themselves.
"Which young master has Your Highness taken a fancy to this time?"
"But they were heading in the direction of Shangguan Mufeng's house."
Could it be that Her Highness still harbors feelings for Shangguan Mufeng?
Is he now planning to favor Shangguan Mufeng again?
Shangguan Nantian was leisurely drinking tea at home.
Although he was being ostracized in the imperial court, Shangguan Nantian didn't care at all.
After all, Shangguan Nantian had no interest in official positions or anything like that.
Now, facing this official position, Shangguan Nantian is naturally satisfied.
Then they heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.
The steward of the Shangguan family heard the knocking and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmian arrived.
There were large boxes behind Lin Fengmian.
"Are you Lin, the bodyguard by Her Highness the Princess's side?"
"Your Excellency is right. I am indeed a guard by His Highness's side. I am here on His Highness's orders to deliver a thousand taels of silver, as well as unparalleled silks and satins. I hope Your Excellency will accept them with pleasure."
Even a fool would understand the meaning of enlightenment from this action.
This is an open declaration to everyone that the Shangguan family is protected by Gan Luo.
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo were somewhat puzzled by Gan Luo's intentions.
"Your Highness, we servants would like to know why you did this."
"I promised Shangguan Mufeng that I would protect the Shangguan family for him."
Since he made the promise, Gan Luo will definitely keep his word.
They all realized what had happened.
Her Highness is truly a person of great loyalty.
"By the way, Your Highness, there's something else I don't understand. Now that you've arrested the people around the Emperor, how should you answer if His Majesty questions you about it?"
"He won't come to question me, after all, he deceived me."
If the emperor were to question Gan Luo, this person would be brought out.
The situation will definitely become very deadlocked.
