Chapter 191: Obsession
Lin Fengmian told Gan Luo that perhaps it was possible.
When Gan Luo learned of this news, he pondered it deeply, only to feel a headache coming on. In the end, Gan Luo put all his thoughts aside.
"Your Highness, if you keep fixating on one thing, it will only give you more and more headaches. Why don't you put these things aside for now and deal with them slowly..."
She understood before Lin Fengmian even finished and Gan Luo told him.
On the other side, Shangguan Mufeng naturally learned of these things as well. He went to the princess's residence and asked Gan Luo if he had found any trace of the person. Gan Luo shook his head and said that he had not found any trace of the person, and more importantly, the person was already dead.
Xu Jiu and Shangguan Mufeng met again, but unexpectedly, the two remained silent. Seeing their awkward demeanor, Gan Luo couldn't help but ask, "What's going on between you two?"
Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, they all said in unison, "It's alright."
Gan Luo took a deep breath and stood up. Before leaving, he said, "If you like each other, then cherish it. As the saying goes, once you miss it, it will be a missed opportunity for a lifetime. You two should think about it carefully."
In the end, Gan Luo left without even looking back.
Shangguan Mufeng and Xu Jiu stared at each other blankly. Shangguan Mufeng wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. In the end, Shangguan Mufeng told Xu Jiu, "Actually, I have always liked Your Highness the Princess. I have liked Your Highness from the first moment I saw you."
Xu Jiu was actually very happy, but she couldn't do that. She didn't want to choose Shangguan Mufeng, but she had a duty to fulfill.
Shangguan Mufeng could tell from Xu Jiu's eyes that Xu Jiu also loved him, but Xu Jiu just wouldn't say it.
Shangguan Mufeng believed there must be a reason for this and was willing to understand Xu Jiu.
Later, Shangguan Mufeng told Xu Jiu that he would always be there waiting for her.
As long as Xu Jiu is not married, Shangguan Mufeng will wait, or wait for the day she changes her mind.
"Young Master Shangguan, why insist on this? We are not suitable for each other. Since we are not suitable, why do such things? As far as I am concerned, I think Young Master Shangguan should marry a respectable young lady instead of marrying me."
Shangguan Mufeng looked at Xu Jiu and at that moment stripped Xu Jiu of all her inner thoughts. Xu Jiu never expected Shangguan Mufeng to be so clever. Even though her thoughts were taken away, Xu Jiu refused to admit it.
"Don't you feel a little tired of living like this?"
Xu Jiu did not answer Shangguan Mufeng: "At the beginning of next month, this princess will return to her own country, and I think we will never see each other again."
His heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected Xu Jiu to go back. At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng must have felt a little reluctant to part with her.
However, Shangguan Mufeng had no other choice but to grit his teeth in despair.
"If you want to go back, then go back. I won't force you."
Afterwards, Shangguan Mufeng left. Once outside, Gan Luo, seeing Shangguan Mufeng's distraught appearance, already foresaw the outcome.
"At first, I thought the princess loved the prince, but I never expected that in the end, the princess would love me instead of the prince. However, the princess is unwilling to stay here."
Gan Luo told Shangguan Mufeng, "As a princess, the burden on your shoulders is too heavy, even for me."
Shangguan Mufeng felt that Gan Luo was very strong and had certain abilities, so why couldn't he control his own destiny?
"Because I am a princess, the princess of the world. As a princess, I must fulfill my duties, you know? Although I am cold-blooded and ruthless, I also understand my responsibilities."
In this world, there are many things that are beyond our control, even for a princess who holds military power.
In this imperial court, many ministers resented Gan Luo's control of the military and all wanted to take it away from him.
If his brother had been a little more assertive, if his brother had been a little more resolute, perhaps Gan Luo would have returned the military power to Gan Yanling.
Kanai and his brother were too foolish, and more importantly, they were easily swayed by slander. Ganluo could not entrust this vast country to them.
Once handed over to him, the country will face destruction. Gan Luo remembers the last incident very clearly.
After Gan Luo died, Xin Ruyu broke through the city and captured the most important territory in just one month.
Gan Luo did not want to repeat the same mistakes and was determined to bring peace and prosperity to the world.
The officials in the imperial court disliked Gan Luo, but what could they do?
Aren't they all here out of fear of Gan Luo? After all, Gan Luo holds immense power. If Gan Luo wanted to rebel, he could become the empress of this generation and be remembered for eternity.
Lin Fengmian walked to Gan Luo's side, seemingly wanting to tell Gan Luo that no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, Lin Fengmian would always be by Gan Luo's side.
Looking at Lin Fengmian, Gan Luo felt a sense of relief for a moment, for some reason.
At that moment, Shangguan Mufeng suddenly felt like he was superfluous, so he casually made up an excuse and left.
As soon as he arrived outside, a light drizzle began to fall, but Shangguan Mufeng did not use an umbrella. Instead, he strolled in the rain, recalling the words Gan Luo had spoken.
Yes, he was fortunate to have had it in this world; he had Xu Jiu's love, hadn't he? Even if there was no love, there was still affection.
Raindrops pattered on Shangguan Mufeng's body as he returned home. Although Shangguan Nantian wanted to scold him, he didn't, because he felt that Shangguan Mufeng was very different from before.
"Father, I will go to court with you tomorrow."
Gan Luo had helped Shangguan Mufeng a lot, and Gan Luo hoped for stability in the court. Shangguan Mufeng decided to make a name for himself in the court.
