Chapter 342: Understanding
Xu Jiu saw the desolation in Shangguan Tian'er's eyes and understood that Shangguan Tian'er didn't want to stay in the palace at all, but she had no choice but to stay there.
"There's one more thing I want to tell you. No matter what happens next, I hope we can stay together in the palace. There are also some things I hope you can understand."
Xu Jiu walked up to Shangguan Tian'er.
After spending this time together, both of them have come to know each other quite well.
Shangguan Tian'er turned her gaze to Xu Jiu again, feeling very grateful for what Xu Jiu had said over the past few days. She felt truly happy inside.
"Thank you for being here all this time..."
If Xu Jiu hadn't been there during this period, things would probably have turned out differently...
At the Princess's residence, Gan Luo sensed that Lin Fengmian's mood had been consistently low during this period, so he specifically sent someone to investigate what kind of people Lin Fengmian had met during this time.
Lin Fengmian then walked up to Gan Luo, still looking uneasy. Gan Luo looked up at Lin Fengmian. "I only want to ask you one thing now: what exactly happened to you during this time? If you dare to deceive me here, don't blame me for being impolite."
In fact, Lin Fengmian didn't want to tell Gan Luo at all, but seeing Gan Luo's current state, it seemed that he had no other choice.
"your Highness……"
At that moment, Lin Fengmian truly didn't know how to tell Gan Luo. Recalling everything that had happened before, he only felt a little depressed for that instant.
"Your Highness, there are some things I really can't tell you, but the only thing Your Highness knows for sure is that I will stay by Your Highness's side and never leave."
"I want to ask you, do you know about your own origins?"
Gan Luo tentatively inquired here, wondering why he had been unable to read Lin Fengmian's thoughts recently despite using his mind-reading ability. He could only guess at Lin Fengmian's thoughts, since Lin Fengmian had followed Gan Luo for many years.
Lin Fengmian felt a knot in her heart. She hadn't expected Gan Luo to be able to guess it. She hadn't wanted to tell her, but in the end, even Gan Luo himself had guessed it.
"I never expected that Her Highness the Princess would be able to guess it. I am quite impressed."
Gan Luo then discussed some things with Lin Fengmian.
These matters naturally concern Lin Fengmian's identity, and Gan Luo told Lin Fengmian to just let things take their course and not to create too much trouble for himself.
"I hope you understand what I mean. I also hope you won't keep dwelling on this. After all, dwelling on it too much will only bring you some trouble, do you understand?"
Lin Fengmian nodded slightly as he listened to Gan Luo's words. For some reason, Lin Fengmian felt a warm feeling in his heart.
"For some reason, hearing what Her Highness the Princess said makes me feel much better now. Before, I was always in a state of..."
Gan Luo then told Lin Fengmian, "No matter what happens, you can tell me."
After all, Gan Luo was the eldest princess, a position of such high status, who would dare to oppose her?
After some thought, Lin Fengmian realized that what Gan Luo said made a lot of sense.
"However, I still feel that there are some things that cannot be troubled to Your Highness. I am merely a subordinate of Your Highness, and there is a certain difference in our status."
Gan Luo walked up to Lin Fengmian and earnestly inquired, "If that's the case, then I'd like to ask you another question: what do you think of me...?"
As luck would have it, Lou Yan arrived. Gan Luo stopped talking and asked Lin Fengmian to peel oranges for him. Lin Fengmian did as he was told, and Lou Yan then asked Gan Luo, "Your Highness, what are your plans for the future?"
In the end, Gan Luo still didn't trust Lou Yan. After all, Lou Yan had been a close associate of Gan Yanling and Prime Minister Xu. If he trusted him too much, Lou Yan might end up harming him later. Gan Luo wasn't a fool; he knew what he should and shouldn't do.
"What I want to tell you about this matter is this: I hope you can understand it now. Don't ask me what I'm going to do next. You just need to stay in the Princess's residence. If there's anything I need you to do, I will arrange it for you."
At this moment, Lou Yan seemed to want to discuss something with Gan Luo.
Gan Luo was a little confused at that moment, wondering what Lou Yan wanted to discuss.
"Your Highness, I would like to inform you that I wish to help you with some matters. During the summer vacation, I would like to leave this place and return to my own territory. After all, I cherish my freedom. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to grant my request?"
Unexpectedly, this person was actually bargaining with Gan Luo here, and Gan Luo turned his attention to him.
"Since you have such thoughts now, I will naturally grant them to you. However, I still hope you can understand that some things..."
In fact, Gan Luo didn't know how to tell Lou Yan for the time being, as it was the first time he had met a subordinate like Lou Yan.
After all, everyone else was willing to stay by Gan Luo's side, but Lou Yan wanted to leave now. Perhaps it was because the intrigue and backstabbing in the capital made Lou Yan feel a little tired.
"If you want to leave, I will naturally not stop you, you can rest assured of that. You don't need to do anything for me here either. If you want to leave now, I can let you go."
Although outsiders say that Gan Luo is cold-blooded and ruthless, Gan Luo is indeed very different from other people.
Gan Luo turned his gaze to Lou Yan, who felt a pang of reluctance at that moment. During his time with Gan Luo, Lou Yan had developed feelings for him, but he knew that there was no possibility of a relationship between them.
After all, Gan Luo might have Lin Fengmian in his heart, but he could never have him. All that Gan Luo did was to obscure other people's thoughts.
