Chapter 62: Intention
"We have already given the instructions given by Her Highness the Princess."
Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo, both with smiles in their eyes.
They believed that Shangguan Mufeng would keep Gan Luo's secret.
On the other side.
Xin Ruyu wandered aimlessly through the streets.
I found it rather boring.
They returned to the mansion.
But unexpectedly, they received another imperial decree.
Xin Ruyu was somewhat puzzled, wondering about Gan Yanling's intentions.
"What do you think the emperor wants to do by inviting me into the palace?"
He vividly remembers the first time he visited Gan Yanling, Gan Yanling didn't even offer him a chair.
But now that the emperor has summoned him to the palace, can he refuse?
He eventually arrived at the palace.
Upon meeting the emperor, he naturally bowed respectfully to Gan Yanling.
"Your Majesty, how could you possibly have the time to invite me to the palace?"
"You have been invited to the palace because a demonstration will be held there soon."
Xin Ruyu was a little puzzled.
I wonder what Gan Yanling's intentions are now.
"I simply want to know what Your Highness's opinion is?"
"I never expected His Majesty would want me to offer him advice. I think I..."
Even if Xin Ruyu didn't finish speaking, Gan Yanling knew Xin Ruyu's intention.
"You don't need to say much, I trust you."
Xin Ruyu understood that Gan Yanling was testing him.
They simply wanted to see how good or bad Xin Ruyu's understanding of the military was.
If Xin Ruyu can offer some good advice to these guards, it shows that he is very capable.
If someone can't offer any good advice, it means they are extremely incompetent.
And now he no longer needs to worry about Xin Ruyu plotting a rebellion.
Even if my elder sister were to marry Xin Ruyu one day, it would not pose any threat.
No, my elder sister cannot marry such a person, after all, he is still a prince.
Even if the princess were to marry, she could only marry an ordinary person; she had no rights whatsoever.
Only in this way can we avoid posing any threat. If Sister Huang marries this man, who is also a prince, wouldn't it still pose a threat to him if Sister Huang were to train someone?
After all, he had witnessed firsthand Sister Huang's ability to train people.
He didn't want to be wary of his elder sister.
But he had no other options, no way to retreat.
He was a monarch, and the fate of the nation rested on his shoulders.
He must bring glory to the country.
The two went directly to the location of the guards.
Here, there are not only guards, but also tigers.
Seeing how well they were training, the emperor smiled with satisfaction.
They stood there for about half an hour before Gan Yanling began to question Xin Ruyu.
Xin Ruyu deliberately gave a terrible answer.
Looking at Xin Ruyu's serious expression.
Gan Yanling could understand one thing: this person was truly a vulgar man.
It poses no threat to him.
Gan Yanling was overjoyed.
As long as this one person poses no threat, it's all worthwhile for him.
The two strolled around for a while longer, and Xin Ruyu could tell that Gan Yanling was happy.
All the officials in the court knew that Gan Yanling and Xin Ruyu were meeting today.
He also personally visited the guards and the Tiger Camp.
"What do you think His Majesty's intention is in doing this?"
This statement came out.
They all looked at each other in bewilderment.
"I don't quite understand their actions."
"I didn't understand it either. I think it's because I'm getting old."
It's not because I'm old; how could I not understand their intentions?
Gan Yanling then inquired about Gan Luo's position in Xin Ruyu's heart.
"I don't quite understand Your Majesty's intention."
"What I mean is, in your opinion, who is more powerful, me or Sister Huang?"
This question successfully stumped Xin Ruyu.
Xin Ruyu had absolutely no idea how to answer Gan Yanling.
But if I don't answer, who knows what might happen next...
To be honest, Xin Ruyu thinks Gan Luo is stronger.
However, Xin Ruyu knew he couldn't say that, otherwise he would displease the emperor.
Xin Ruyu then gave only an ambiguous answer.
What if Gan Yanling goes and complains again? Wouldn't that mean I've offended Gan Luo again?
Are you afraid that I will tell my elder sister about our conversation?
Xin Ruyu felt a little displeased.
"I thought Your Majesty and Her Highness the Princess were siblings, with a very close relationship. How come now it seems..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gan Yanling successfully interrupted him.
"That is not what I meant. You have distorted my meaning, do you know that?"
The meaning is so obvious, who wouldn't understand?
Looking at the king before him, Xin Ruyu felt a surge of disgust.
Xin Ruyu had heard about all the things Gan Luo had done for him.
Unexpectedly, this monarch would have such suspicions about Gan Luo.
Gan Luo was his own sister, I never expected him to...
Gan Yanling never expected to lose his composure in that instant.
"If you dare to tell anyone what happened today, I will not let you off lightly."
"Your Majesty, is this a threat to me?"
For some reason, at that moment, Gan Yanling actually felt that Xin Ruyu was very smart.
But then I remembered what Xin Ruyu had just said... and I felt it was somewhat foolish.
Intelligent people flatter the king, while foolish people offend the king.
"I am not threatening you."
Xin Ruyu told Gan Yanling that he would never reveal this matter.
"I helped Your Majesty conceal this matter. I wonder if Your Majesty can now promise me something?"
Gan Yanling was quite displeased that this guy would try to bargain here.
"I am the king!"
The meaning is obvious: he is the king, and he must obey.
In that instant, Xin Ruyu felt that Gan Yanling was being completely unreasonable.
Forget it, he should avoid any conflict with Gan Yanling.
Otherwise, it would not be conducive to his plan.
During their conversation, Xin Ruyu could sense that Gan Yanling was extremely arrogant.
This is naturally Gan Yanling's weakness.
And Xin Ruyu just happened to be able to seize this weakness.
This leads to a gradual and progressive amplification of the weakness.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, but she quickly suppressed it.
"It's getting late, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave now."
Gan Yanling called out to Jiang Yu, and Jiang Yu appeared in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, the servant is here."
Gan Yanling simply said two words: "Send the guest out."
Xin Ruyu went outside and took a deep breath.
The air outside is definitely fresher.
Staying here only makes me feel a sense of oppression.
