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

Chapter 250: Self-Directed and Self-Acted

The expressions of the people around them changed instantly; none of them had expected that Gan Yanling would actually plan to send someone else.

Prime Minister Xu was overjoyed, never expecting to so easily decline such a task.

He turned his gaze to Gan Yanling, struggled to his feet, and knelt on the ground with a thud. "Your Majesty, all of this is my fault. If I hadn't been attacked today, I could still have gone tomorrow."

Gan Yanling personally helped everyone up and spoke gently, "These things are nothing to worry about. Just rest here and recover. I will take care of everything."

For some reason, Prime Minister Xu felt a little sorry for Gan Yanling at that moment. However, for Prime Minister Xu, once he left this place, he would know nothing about what was happening in the court.

He didn't know what would happen next, and he had to do this to avoid something he didn't want to happen. Although Xu Chengxiang was also unwilling, he ultimately had no choice.

Actually, this whole scene can be considered as him directing and acting in it himself.

His reasons for doing this were very simple: he just wanted to cancel the trip to Jiangnan.

Therefore, this task is left to others, since he alone cannot succeed, given his current age.

More importantly, he was about to retire from this official position in the imperial court.

At this moment, Xu Jinxin hurriedly walked in and inquired about Gan Yanling's specific situation.

Gan Yanling had already told Xu Jinxin everything, and when Xu Jinxin found out, she was extremely upset.

Prime Minister Xu gently patted Xu Jinxin's shoulder.

"Don't worry too much about anything, Dad is fine. Look at me, I'm full of energy now, aren't I?"

Afterwards, Gan Yanling left, saying that there were still matters in the court that had not been dealt with.

Once they reached the outermost edge, he asked the young eunuch beside him, "Young eunuch, who do you think should be sent south next? I don't know why, but for this moment I suddenly feel a headache coming on."

Because he didn't know who to send south.

I feel like sending anyone would be a bit inappropriate.

That's why I'm deep in thought now.

If they knew who to send, they wouldn't be in such a worried state right now.

At this moment, he turned his attention to the little eunuch.

The young eunuch turned his gaze to him: "Regarding this matter, this servant has no opinion whatsoever. After all, to this servant, I am merely a servant, and this is something this servant has never interfered with..."

The young eunuch's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat as he spoke cautiously, for he truly did not know what to do.

He was just a lowly eunuch who knew nothing, yet the current emperor was asking him all sorts of questions about the court.

For some reason, Gan Yanling suddenly thought of Jiang Yu.

Meanwhile, Gan Luo had already learned that Gan Yanling had withdrawn the message to send Prime Minister Xu south.

In other words, Prime Minister Xu no longer needs to go south.

If that's the case, then what should we do next?

They must all be here, thinking very seriously.

Gan Luo decided to have Shangguan Mufeng personally go and make the introduction.

However, the person being introduced this time was naturally himself.

Gan Luo personally came to the Shangguan residence. Upon seeing Gan Luo's arrival, Shangguan Nantian fell off his stool with a thud.

Why didn't the steward announce Gan Luo's arrival? He hadn't made any preparations at all.

More importantly, despite his disheveled state just moments before, he immediately stood up, walked to Gan Luo, and bowed respectfully.

"Actually, you don't need to be so afraid of me. I won't hurt you."

Shangguan Nantian told Gan Luo, "As far as I am concerned, I feel that presenting Your Highness with your luggage is merely a sign of respect. More importantly, Your Highness is worthy of my respect."

Gan Luo felt surprisingly happy listening to what Shangguan Nantian said.

Because, in the beginning, Gan Luo thought that they didn't even know he existed.

However, Gan Luo now discovers that she also exists in their eyes.

Looking around, he did not see Shangguan Mufeng.

"I wonder where Young Master Shangguan has gone. I actually came here to have a chat with Young Master Shangguan and his companion."

Gan Luo was puzzled that Shangguan Mufeng was not here.

Shangguan Nantian then told Gan Luo, "It seems that my son went out just now, but I have no idea what he did there."

Gan Luo then turned his gaze to Shangguan Nantian. "By the way, there is something I want to tell you."

Gan Luo then told Shangguan Nantian all his plans, and Shangguan Nantian immediately agreed with them.

"I completely agree with what you have said. After all, I believe that my sons should indeed be given more experience."

Gan Luo, listening to what he was saying, actually felt a little happy at that moment.

At first, I thought I would be rejected, but in the end I wasn't.

Gan Luo then turned her gaze to him. "If Lord Shangguan wishes to travel south with his son, I will grant that request."

Shangguan Nantian felt that if Gan Luo were a king, she would definitely be able to... It's a pity that Gan Luo was not a king at all, just because she was a woman. If Gan Luo were a man, she would definitely be ambitious.

Gan Luo used his mind-reading ability to perceive what Shangguan Nantian was thinking. Although he was pleased with Shangguan Nantian's praise, he was still pleased with the result.

However, Gan Luo had no desire to become a king. He felt that being a king was too tiring and that it was better to be an ordinary person.

The things we're dealing with now are simply so that Gan Yanling can properly become the monarch.

I also hope he won't worry about these trivial matters.

Or perhaps it was to consolidate their own power.

After all, the officials in the court have always had their eyes on Gan Luo, haven't they?

Gan Luo's every word and action will be monitored by them, but this is nothing to Gan Luo, as he is already used to it.
