The reason for returning the portrait to him was to tell him that Lu Linyuan is not Lu Yuan.
Gongsun Yu was no fool. With a slight contemplation, he grasped Emperor Liang's intent: "But I still don't understand—why does Your Majesty not trust Big Brother?"
Gongsun Yanming gazed into the distance and said, "I never claimed that Lu Yuan is Lu Linyuan. I merely informed His Majesty that the two of them bear similar appearances."
Gongsun Yu frowned. "Even so, surely Your Majesty grasped the implication."
Gongsun Yanming replied indifferently, "A child disrupted everything."
Gongsun Yu was taken aback. "A... child? Whose child?"
Gongsun Yanming didn't respond to Gongsun Yu's question but instead asked, "You didn't make a mistake, did you?"
"Big Brother, I can swear— the person in the portrait truly is Lu Yuan! Ah, I've got it!"
