After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 315: Lost in Thought

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell Your Majesty. It's true that the foreign country will be visiting here soon. Also, this Xi Nufeng is an imposter; in other words, Xi Nufeng is not from the foreign country."

Gan Luo then told Gan Yanling that he had to be careful from now on.

Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Gan Yanling immediately told Gan Luo everything, promising to be more careful and reassuring him not to worry too much.

Gan Luo then turned his attention to Gan Yanling, only to find that Gan Yanling was staring at him the whole time. Gan Luo was a little confused at that moment.

"Why are you suddenly here staring at me all this time?"

When Gan Yanling came to his senses, he told Gan Luo that he had just been lost in thought and had not been looking at Gan Luo.

"Your Majesty, I've been thinking about something lately. Do you really think I'm a good emperor? I don't know why, but I feel utterly useless. I have to do everything for you."

Then Gan Yanling told Gan Luo that if Gan Luo were the emperor, he would never let anyone handle these matters.

Gan Luo knew perfectly well that Gan Yanling was clearly testing her.

Gan Luo never imagined that as siblings, they would have to test each other here, which made him feel somewhat pathetic.

"I have no interest in the throne. I only hope that one day you will be able to handle all matters properly."

The maids around Gan Luo were completely bewildered by what he said, but Gan Yanling understood.

"Your Majesty, you're overthinking it. I didn't mean to say you were plotting to seize power. It's just that I feel quite tired being the emperor. I have endless documents to review every day, and I also have to be wary of the ministers in the court from time to time. It's really making me feel a bit weary."

Gan Yanling desperately wanted some time to rest, but found that there was no time to rest at all.

"Everything takes time. Do you think becoming a king is easy? I'll take my leave now."

Gan Luo smoothed his sleeves and left without even turning his head, leaving Gan Yanling standing there alone.

Gan Yanling fixed his gaze on Gan Luo, his hands clenched tightly. In truth, all he had ever wanted was military power in the National Protection Army, but it remained firmly in Gan Luo's hands.

If he held military power, why should he fear these people?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Shangguan Tian'er happened to arrive and, seeing that Gan Yanling's expression was off, comforted him. "Why do I sense that His Majesty has encountered something?"

Shangguan Tian'er asked Gan Yanling in a gentle voice, "I haven't encountered anything. How did you suddenly come here?"

"I recently learned a new dance, and I wonder if Your Majesty would like to see it."

Then Shangguan Tian'er danced here, and her beautiful dance moves made Gan Yanling lose his mind.

"I have something I want to ask you. Now that you are my concubine, in your heart, am I more important or is Her Highness the Princess more important?"

"Your Majesty, what are you saying? You are obviously more important. Why are you comparing yourself to Her Highness the Princess? Her Highness the Princess is just a thing of the past."

For some reason, Gan Yanling felt happy upon hearing these words. He then immediately pulled Shangguan Tian'er into his arms and asked her, "If I had military power, wouldn't I be able to do whatever I wanted?"

Gan Yanling really wanted to obtain military power. How could he do so in order to weaken Gan Luo's power?

Even now, the Imperial Guards listen to Gan Luo.

Shangguan Tian'er never expected that Gan Yanling would actually want to obtain Ice City.

After Shangguan Tian'er returned to her palace, she took a carrier pigeon, which flew from the sky to the princess's residence.

Gan Luo received the carrier pigeon without hesitation, and upon seeing the message on it, he found it incredible.

She never imagined that Gan Yanling actually desired military power.

Looking at the two military tallies in his hand, Gan Luo finally decided to hand over the Imperial Guard's military tally to Gan Yanling.

As for Gan Luo, the military commander of the National Protection Army, he did not have such a thought for the time being.

"Why is Your Highness staring blankly at these two military tallies in your hand? Is Your Highness perhaps going to give one of them to the Emperor now?"

"You guessed correctly, I did indeed intend to hand over one of the military tallies to the Emperor."

Lin Fengmian asked Gan Luo why.

"The reason I did this is actually very simple: it's just to ensure that he also has some power in his hands. After all, he has no power at all, but he is a monarch, isn't he?"

As Gan Luo's power grew, those around him began to watch him with predatory eyes, and Gan Luo himself began to feel somewhat weary.

"Actually, if this person trusted me, I might hand over all the power to him now. It's just a pity that he is suspicious of me, so I have to be wary."

More importantly, there is a tiger and leopard in this court, and this tiger and leopard is none other than Prime Minister Xu.

Gan Luo was fully aware of Prime Minister Xu's wolfish ambitions.

"Do you think I shouldn't hand over the command of the Imperial Guard to Gan Yanling now?"

"Your Highness, what are you saying? Whether Your Highness gives it or not, I will always support you. Even if Your Highness is surrounded by a crowd one day, I will protect you from harm."

If it weren't for the fact that I was the only one who had been reborn.

She was starting to suspect that Lin Fengmian had also been reborn.

However, Gan Luo was very happy, after all, he and Lin Fengmian could start over.

In his previous life, Gan Luo had never noticed this little guard, but fortunately, he could make up for it in this life.

"Your Highness, why are you suddenly standing here in a daze? Has something happened?"
