Chapter 181: Excuse
Gan Luo turned around and saw Lin Fengmian covering his eyes. He was a little confused for a moment, and Gan Luo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He walked up to Lin Fengmian, took Lin Fengmian's hands off, and asked her why she had covered her eyes. Lin Fengmian was too embarrassed to look at Gan Luo, while Gan Luo thought Lin Fengmian was just too naive.
Am I beautiful?
Unexpectedly, when Gan Luo said this, Lin Fengmian naturally echoed her. Gan Luo was an unparalleled beauty, so naturally everyone was beautiful.
"Now that we've left the princess's residence, why should Guard Lin be so reserved?"
Gan Luo seemed to remember something, and walked directly to Lin Fengmian, asking Lin Fengmian to call his name. At this moment, Lin Fengmian knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said that this was unreasonable.
“I didn’t even have such a thought, and I don’t know why you would have such a thought now.”
At Gan Luo's insistence, Lin Fengmian finally called Gan Luo by his name, and at that moment, Lin Fengmian's heart was pounding.
However, Lin Fengmian kept telling himself that his and Gan Luo's identities were not compatible and that he should not have any other thoughts. At this moment, Gan Luo walked up to Lin Fengmian, took his hand and walked forward. In front of them was a peach tree, but it did not bear fruit; it only had peach blossoms.
The peach blossoms were indeed very vibrant. At this moment, Gan Luo flipped over and successfully landed on top of the peach tree. Because of Gan Luo's action, the peach blossoms naturally floated down. Gan Luo looked down at Lin Fengmian and felt as if an eternity had passed in that instant.
If it weren't for Gan Luo's rebirth, he probably wouldn't have known that this little guard had feelings for her.
However, within the palace, Gan Yanling naturally knew that Gan Luo had met with the Prime Minister. At this moment, Gan Yanling was somewhat surprised, wondering why his sister would go to see the Prime Minister out of the blue.
The person who returned to report to Gan Yanling shook his head, saying that he didn't know anything about it either, and that he hadn't heard it very clearly at the time, only that he saw Gan Luo enter the Prime Minister's residence.
Gan Yanling was originally planning to go to the princess's residence, but was told that the princess was not at the residence recently. Gan Yanling was even more surprised to hear this news, as he had no idea why Gan Luo was not at the princess's residence.
"It seems that the princess has gone out for a trip. As for where she went, I have not found out. If Your Majesty were to go to the princess's residence now, you would most likely be disappointed."
He had never imagined that Gan Luo would go sightseeing. Even the trivial matters surprised him. Since Gan Luo had gone sightseeing, Gan Yanling naturally did not intend to go to the princess's residence. At this time, Gan Yanling invited the prime minister into the palace.
While the Prime Minister was at his residence, he called Xu Jinxin over and asked her when she would visit Gan Luo. Xu Jinxin answered him in detail.
Prime Minister Xu felt relieved, thinking that Xu Jinxin hadn't done anything significant.
At first, he thought Xu Jinxin had done something bad, but fortunately, Xu Jinxin really did care about Gan Luo as he said.
"Next time you go to the princess's residence, you must tell your father, okay?"
"Father, don't worry, I will definitely tell you next time I go to the princess's residence."
Prime Minister Xu was about to rest for a while when, unexpectedly, a palace eunuch arrived. The eunuch invited the prime minister to the palace. Prime Minister Xu couldn't help but yawn and tried to perk himself up.
Because Prime Minister Xu hasn't had a proper rest these past few days, and now he has to go to the palace, it's really putting him in a difficult position.
However, Gan Yanling could not refuse now, so he had no choice but to follow the eunuch into the palace. Unexpectedly, Gan Yanling found the person waiting for him there.
As Prime Minister Xu looked at the emperor before him, he felt that the emperor was different from before. When the emperor first ascended the throne, he had a youthful expression on his face, but now that expression was gone.
This change can only mean one thing: Gan Yanling is no longer the same person he used to be. He believes that one day, all power will fall into Gan Yanling's hands.
"Your Majesty has summoned me to the palace; is there something you wish to ask?"
Unexpectedly, Gan Yanling also mentioned assassins this time. When the Prime Minister heard the word "assassin," he felt a chill run down his spine. He couldn't help but feel that the two siblings would ask about this matter.
"I have sent many people to investigate the assassin, but I never expected that we would be unable to find him at all. More importantly, the assassin seems to have vanished without a trace."
"Your Majesty, I have a bold idea, but I don't know if Your Majesty would be willing to listen to it."
Gan Yanling looked up at Prime Minister Xu, naturally indicating his willingness to listen. At this moment, Prime Minister Xu told Gan Yanling that perhaps it was a mess they themselves had created, and that they were the ones crying wolf.
Although what Prime Minister Xu said was not unreasonable, Gan Yanling still had to give them an explanation. But now that there was no evidence, how could they be sure it was them?
Since there is no evidence, we cannot make any hasty conclusions; otherwise, it will only backfire.
More importantly, Gan Yanling also needed to give an explanation to the whole world, which was the reason for his worries.
Gan Yanling is now ill because he has been overworked, which has caused his body to be unable to cope.
"Alright, Prime Minister Xu, you may leave now. Allow me to think this over carefully."
Prime Minister Xu naturally didn't nag Gan Yanling, but instead let Gan Yanling think about it alone.
Watching the Prime Minister depart, Xiao Jiangzi massaged Gan Yanling's shoulders. "If Your Majesty truly cannot find the person, Your Majesty can entrust this matter to someone else."
Gan Yanling was confused and didn't know what Xiao Jiangzi meant, so he asked seriously. Xiao Jiangzi then told Gan Yanling, "This servant thinks that the Prime Minister is a very capable person. His Majesty can entrust this matter to the Prime Minister."
