Chapter 85: Sincerity
"No need for the sedan chair, I will walk back."
The news spread far and wide.
The people in the princess's residence had naturally heard about it.
Yuan Zheng rushed to find Gan Luo, but to his surprise, Gan Luo was still sleeping.
"Her Highness has not been feeling well these past two days and has been rather sleepy."
Green Bamboo spoke with some concern, and just then, the divine doctor arrived in front of them, and Yuan Zheng asked the divine doctor a question.
"Your Highness, why have I been feeling so sleepy today and yesterday?"
The divine physician glanced at Yuan Zheng and asked if Yuan Zheng was Gan Luo's confidant.
Yuan Zheng then told the divine physician that he was Gan Luo's confidant.
“A few days ago, Her Highness went to the Shadow Hall, where she was already injured. These injuries have not yet fully healed, and now she has been caught in the rain. It is quite normal for her old injuries to be aggravated by new ones.”
Yuan Zheng never expected that Gan Luo was injured, and Gan Luo had not mentioned such a thing when he returned.
For some reason, Gan Luo couldn't sleep well and was plagued by nightmares.
Gan Luo opened his eyes, heard the discussion outside, put on a cloak, and went outside.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Gan Luo do this.
"Excuse me, you're not feeling well, how come you came out wearing only a cloak?"
Yu Zhu hurriedly went to the inner room and took out a fluffy cloak to put on Gan Luo.
"I just overheard you talking about how things are on the street?"
"Your Highness may not know this, but I heard a rumor today."
Gan Luo stroked his chin and couldn't help but yawn.
"What rumors?"
Gan Luo was quite curious about this.
I asked them a few questions very seriously.
"You're saying that the Prince personally went to pray for my well-being, and that he even kowtowed every step of the way?"
"Yes."
Lin Fengmian saw the look in Gan Luo's eyes and felt a little unhappy for a moment.
It's just taking one step and bowing once, right? Anyone can show that kind of feeling.
Gan Luo noticed Lin Fengmian's expression.
She couldn't help but wonder, was this kid angry?
Gan Luo was a little confused as to why Xin Ruyu insisted on praying for him, and why he did so by bowing with each step.
This really surprised even myself.
After that, Gan Luo decided on one thing: to personally find Xin Ruyu to express his gratitude, and also to test Xin Ruyu.
Shangguan Mufeng knew what Xin Ruyu had done.
"This prince is truly patient; I never expected him to do something like this. I feel ashamed of myself for it."
Meanwhile, the people in the small kitchen had already brought over the snow lotus and started stewing it.
However, while they were stewing it, they also sought out a renowned physician, fearing that their lack of experience might prevent the snow lotus from achieving its intended effect, or that it might contain toxins. They worried that if the princess were to suffer any health problems after consuming it…
"But why is this snow lotus emitting a red glow now, when it was clearly before..."
The divine physician explained the reason to them, and after the explanation was clear, they all understood. Under the divine physician's instructions, they boiled the snow lotus here for about four or five hours, and then served the snow lotus to Gan Luo.
Gan Luo glanced at the snow lotus and was surprised to find that it was so translucent after being stewed.
After taking a bite, I found it to be sweet but not cloying, and it even had a faint fragrance of lotus. Shouldn't it have a faint fragrance of snow lotus?
Finally, the cook was summoned, and he told Gan Luo how to prepare the snow lotus.
Gan Luo thought the cook was quite clever, and although the snow lotus itself had a slightly bitter taste, it didn't taste bitter at all.
The divine physician took Gan Luo's pulse this time.
While taking Gan Luo's pulse, it was felt that Gan Luo's body was in better condition than before. With proper care, there should be no aftereffects, or if there were, they would be very short-lived.
At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng happened to find Gan Luo.
"Greetings to Your Highness the Princess."
Upon hearing this, Gan Luo raised his head and glanced at Shangguan Mufeng.
"Young Master Shangguan, what has happened that you've come to see me?"
"Your Highness, we have come to say goodbye."
Farewell?
Gan Luo was extremely surprised.
They never imagined that before this, Gan Luo wanted Shangguan Mufeng to leave the princess, otherwise Shangguan Mufeng would never have left, but now he took the initiative to leave.
"I do have some doubts about your series of choices."
Finally, Gan Luo dispatched all the people around him.
Only Shangguan Mufeng and Gan Luo remained.
"I am very curious to know something."
"I know what Your Highness wants to ask now?"
Shangguan Mufeng then told Gan Luo the whole story.
"You mean you want to go back to the Penglai Sect?"
“Your Highness is right. My master has come to find me, and he will take me back to the Penglai Sect tomorrow. As I am his direct disciple, I need to go back with him to meet them.”
Gan Luo understood the situation and then told Shangguan Mufeng.
Be careful on your journey.
Then he told Shangguan Mufeng.
"If you wish to return to the Princess's residence when you do, the gates of the Princess's residence will always be open for you."
Finally, Gan Luo selected a sword and gave it to Shangguan Mufeng.
"This sword is called the Azure Chant Sword."
Shangguan Mufeng kowtowed to Gan Luo. Actually, Shangguan Mufeng also had something he wanted Gan Luo to help him with.
"Your Highness, I would like to ask you to take good care of my father during this time, since many people have some opinions about him."
Gan Luo knew Shangguan Mufeng's worries.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your father for you. You don't need to worry too much."
Shangguan Mufeng then handed Gan Luo a hairpin.
“Your Highness, this hairpin was given to me by my master. It seems to be a hidden weapon, which should be of help to you, Princess.”
Gan Luo actually had many questions, after all, Shangguan Mufeng had told Gan Luo before that he had a master...
Although Gan Luo already knew that Shangguan Mufeng was a member of the Penglai Sect.
“You before…”
"Your Highness, you are unaware that I did not know that my master was from the Penglai Sect. However, my master recently came to find me and told me the whole story. Only then did I realize that my master was from the Penglai Sect."
Gan Luo was quite pleased that Shangguan Mufeng would explain this to her.
