Chapter 143: Truth or Falsehood
Gan Yanling looked up at Gan Luo, who was somewhat shocked. Gan Luo's makeup was very light, and she looked rather pale.
"I didn't expect the Emperor to still be here. I thought he had already left."
"Your Majesty, how are you feeling these days? I specially brought Physician Shen here to examine you, as your health is quite important, and in a couple of days we will be receiving the envoys."
Gan Luo didn't say a word, but instead focused his gaze on Physician Shen.
When Physician Shen saw Gan Luo, he was extremely flustered.
How I wish Gan Luo could turn his gaze away, and not look at me with that kind of look.
Physician Shen's heart was pounding. He immediately looked at Gan Yanling and pleaded for help.
"It was not my intention to offend Your Majesty by bringing Physician Shen here last time. I did so to apologize to Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will not hold it against him."
Gan Luo ignored Physician Shen and instead told Gan Yanling.
"I'm quite curious about something right now: why did the princess of this neighboring country catch a cold?"
Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Gan Yanling fell into deep thought, unsure how to respond.
"Perhaps it was because the princess from the neighboring country was not used to the local climate that she fell ill."
Gan Yanling then said that he would take Physician Shen to the post station later to see the princess of the neighboring country and to treat her.
"I have already visited the princess of the neighboring country. She was unconscious all day."
Upon receiving this news, Gan Yanling feigned surprise and inquired about it with Gan Luo.
"I was quite surprised that my eldest sister had gone to visit the princess of the neighboring country. However, why didn't she inform me that she was going to the place where the princess of Ning was, so that I could go with her?"
"I felt a little bored in the palace, so I went out for a walk. I happened to pass by this place, so I went in."
Gan Yanling indicated that he understood, and then left first under the pretext that there were still matters to attend to in the palace. When Gan Yanling arrived outside, he pondered whether Gan Luo had discovered that the princess of the neighboring country was faking her illness.
However, Gan Luo's behavior just now suggested that he was unaware that the neighboring princess was faking her illness. If that's the case, then it means...
But for some reason, he felt a sudden panic in his heart at that moment.
He didn't know why he was panicking, only that he felt a little worried for a moment.
Finally, Gan Yanling hurriedly sent someone to the neighboring country's princess's location to inquire about the circumstances of Gan Luo's visit that day.
After several rounds of questioning, he learned that the princess from the neighboring country had behaved very well at the time, and Gan Luo had not noticed.
Gan Yanling breathed a sigh of relief upon learning of this matter. He then went to visit the handsome men sent by the envoy from the neighboring country, where he saw them learning etiquette.
More importantly, they had already firmly memorized everything Gan Yanling said.
Upon seeing Gan Yanling arrive, they bowed to him. Seeing how charming these men were, Gan Yanling couldn't help but be somewhat moved.
If these people were women, perhaps Gan Yanling would have taken them all into his harem to become beautiful women and talented men. Unfortunately, they are men.
Gan Yanling suddenly became interested in the princess of the neighboring country. If a man could be so beautiful, this princess of the neighboring country could be called the most beautiful woman in the country. She must be an absolute celestial being.
It's hard to say who is slightly better between the two, Gan Luo and I, since Gan Luo can be considered the most beautiful woman here.
The princess from the neighboring country was here asking them how long she was going to pretend to be sick.
"Your Highness, please don't be too worried. I think you can't keep up the act of feigning illness for more than a few days. I hope Your Highness will not be too anxious."
The princess from the neighboring country couldn't understand why the vice-king would send her here for a political marriage, especially since she had an elder sister.
From childhood to adulthood, her father had always focused his attention on her eldest sister, but never on her at all.
She is still her father's daughter, isn't she?
The more I thought about it here, the more depressed I became.
Looking at everything outside the window, I couldn't help but shed tears at that moment.
When the people here saw the princess's tears, they panicked instantly. Why would the princess suddenly shed tears?
"Your Highness, why are you crying here all of a sudden?"
Upon hearing this, the princess from the neighboring country couldn't help but reach out to wipe away her tears. Unexpectedly, tears actually fell. The princess pretended that she was alright and told them that she was a little sleepy.
The neighboring princess was already lying on this bed, recalling the events of the past few days. For a moment, she felt a little envious of Gan Luo, who, as the eldest princess here, was carefree.
Moreover, he was able to do whatever he wanted, and Gan Luo also held military power in the National Protection Army, so no one dared to confront him.
If only she could be as free as Gan Luo, how wonderful that would be. After thinking it over carefully, she realized she must be dreaming.
No one knows how much time had passed, but the princess from the neighboring country had already fallen asleep.
After the princess from the neighboring country fell asleep, she dreamt of all that had happened in the past.
In this dream, she is lovingly cared for by her older brother.
Unfortunately, her older brother died later in life while fighting on the battlefield.
When he woke up, his forehead was covered in sweat.
I glanced at the sky outside; it was already quite late.
At this moment, the princess from the neighboring country had already climbed over the wall and arrived at the princess's residence.
The guards in the princess's residence, having noticed someone lurking in the shadows, immediately began to ponder the situation. Unexpectedly, upon seeing the princess from the neighboring country, they immediately arrested everyone.
After the neighboring country's princess was captured, she directly stated in front of everyone that she wanted to see Gan Luo.
The guard saw that the woman was dressed so elegantly and that she immediately asked to see Gan Luo, so he assumed she was a member of the royal family.
Gan Luo was curious about who wanted to see her, and when he arrived at the place, he unexpectedly saw the princess from the neighboring country!
