Chapter 275: Worry
"By the way, elder sister, there's something I wanted to ask you. Are you really going to Jiangnan? The round trip will take a month. Are you sure you want to go? If you do go, there's a high chance you'll encounter some..."
Gan Yanling was somewhat worried about Gan Luo. In fact, he had always hoped that Gan Luo could live and did not want Gan Luo to do anything. After all, Gan Luo was the only family he had in this world, wasn't he?
Upon hearing Gan Yanling's words, Gan Luo couldn't help but curl a wicked smile into his lips. "What? Does my younger brother worry about my safety? Shouldn't he want something to happen to me on this road? If that's the case..."
"Your Majesty, what are you saying? I never thought of that. I hoped that something might happen to Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will be healthy."
For some reason, Gan Luo felt disgusted by what Gan Yanling said, and more than that, he felt a sense of mockery.
Then Gan Luo turned his gaze to Gan Yanling. "I hope you can be a good ruler, and I also hope that everything you do will be done with a clear conscience."
"Your Majesty, you can rest assured that I will always remember what Your Majesty said."
Afterwards, Gan Luo and Gan Yanling chatted for a while, and she was about to leave when she suddenly remembered something as soon as she stepped out of the Imperial Study. She had come to the palace to see Shangguan Tian'er.
Gan Luo then went directly to visit Shangguan Tian'er.
Shangguan Tian'er was overjoyed to see Gan Luo arrive.
"I never expected that Your Highness would come to visit me here. I am really happy. Did Your Highness miss me, so you came to visit me?"
Upon hearing Shangguan Tian'er's address to her, Gan Luo immediately corrected her, indicating that she should now refer to herself as "this palace" instead of "servant," since she was now the emperor's concubine and had to understand the proper hierarchy, rather than feeling inferior to Gan Luo.
"From now on, you shall call me elder sister here. After all, you are the emperor's concubine, and the emperor is my younger brother. You should call me elder sister."
Hearing what Gan Luo said, Shangguan Tian'er felt a sweet warmth in her heart for a moment, and even more so, she felt extremely happy. She never thought that one day she could call Gan Luo "sister".
She must have felt incredibly happy.
Seeing Shangguan Tian'er laughing so happily, Gan Luo couldn't help but ask her, "I'm a little puzzled by you. Why are you laughing here all of a sudden? Has something happened?"
"Actually, there's something I want to tell Her Highness the Princess: it's a very happy thing to be able to become Her Highness's sister. This is something I never dared to dream of before, after all, the difference in our status is just too great."
Upon hearing Shangguan Tian'er's words, Gan Luo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I never expected that you would be laughing here because of this. It really surprises me. Since you like to call me 'sister,' from now on, you can call me 'sister' whenever you see me."
As for the other concubines, Gan Luo will definitely deal with them according to their seniority. After all, Gan Luo is not familiar with them, and more importantly, Shangguan Tian'er has been by Gan Luo's side for many years.
Gan Luo is actually quite reluctant to let Shangguan Tian'er stay in the palace, as he hopes she can always stay by his side.
Gan Luo then turned his gaze to Shangguan Tian'er. "If you ever want to return to the Princess's residence, then just come back, understand? Just tell His Majesty that you want to return to the Princess's residence. I believe His Majesty will agree to your return. If he really doesn't agree, then just let me come to the palace."
Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Shangguan Tian'er immediately felt a sense of favoritism.
"Your Highness, rest assured, this servant will definitely do a good job in the affairs of the inner palace, will definitely help Your Highness the Princess, and will also definitely speak well of Your Highness the Princess to His Majesty."
Gan Luo was actually more worried about Shangguan Tian'er's life safety.
After all, Shangguan Tian'er was someone close to her, so this matter must have been known to the ministers in the court. These ministers would probably think that Gan Luo had already placed someone by the emperor's side, which meant he must have a rebellious intention.
“I know what my sister is worried about, but I am not afraid at all. Besides, I believe His Majesty will believe it. After all, Your Highness is his own sister, and she is an incredibly kind person in this world.”
In fact, Shangguan Tian'er really hoped that she could have an older brother or a younger brother, but unfortunately she didn't have an older brother or a younger brother.
Even the older brother she has now acknowledged is someone she doesn't know very well.
"What I want to tell you is that you can treat Shangguan Mufeng as your own brother, you know? After all, Shangguan Mufeng has always wanted a younger sister for me, so I believe he will treat you very well."
The reason Gan Luo suddenly chose Shangguan Nantian as Shangguan Tian'er's adoptive father was simply because he trusted him.
If I didn't trust him, I certainly wouldn't have chosen Shangguan Nantian now.
That's why I chose Shangguan Nantian – because I trust him.
The important thing is that they are upright people, and it is because of this that Gan Luo was able to...
"Thank you for what you have said, Your Highness. I will remember this and will definitely communicate with them more often."
"Don't think that you are of low status or anything like that. I am your support, and Shangguan Nantian and Shangguan Mufeng are also your supporters."
In an instant, Shangguan Tian'er's eyes filled with tears. At that moment, she didn't know how to express her gratitude to Gan Luo. More importantly, Gan Luo had been so incredibly kind to her.
"If there's nothing else, I must take my leave."
