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

Chapter 422: Attitude Shift

Gan Yanling never imagined that Gan Luo would remember this matter for so long.

At this moment, he naturally felt a little frustrated. If he could do it all over again, he would never have poisoned Gan Luo like that, and he would never have treated Gan Luo the way he had before. In that case, the sibling relationship between the two of them would not be so strained as it is now.

As luck would have it, Xin Ruyu had already arrived at this place and overheard their conversation. He was quite shocked that Gan Yanling would poison Gan Luo here.

I initially thought the two had a good relationship, but now I don't think so. It turns out it was all an act, and they were truly masters of acting.

He never imagined that Gan Yanling would actually intend to eliminate Gan Luo. After all, Gan Luo's forces were indeed quite powerful, and it was understandable that they wanted to eliminate him here.

After all, many of the ministers in the court disliked Gan Luo, and Gan Luo was naturally unaware of these matters.

"I never expected Your Highness to come here. Your Highness has come here, why didn't you even greet me? It's really quite surprising to me."

It was at this moment that they all turned their attention to Xin Ruyu.

Shangguan Nantian was a smart man, so he definitely didn't mention anything about Gan Luo. He was also very curious about the purpose of this person's visit. After all, this person didn't even greet him and went straight into the Imperial Study. It was as if he didn't take Gan Yanling seriously at all.

"Do you know that this year, without even a word, they've already entered this place? They've shown no respect for me. Do you realize this mistake?"

"I've been standing outside for quite a while now, but I haven't seen the little eunuch. I had no choice but to come in on my own initiative. Besides, I have something very urgent to tell you."

Gan Yanling and Shangguan Nantian were both very curious at this moment, wondering what this person was going to say, so they immediately focused their attention on him.

"There is something I wish to inform Your Majesty. There are many orphans in this capital city, and their numbers are increasing. However, I do not know where these orphans come from. Therefore, I would like Your Majesty to send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Gan Yanling was naturally filled with questions. He had never imagined that things would develop to this point. At this moment, Gan Yanling was pondering the reason for this matter. He thought about it over and over again but still couldn't figure it out.

Subsequently, Gan Yanling dispatched a portion of the Imperial Guards to investigate whether Xin Ruyu's words were true or false. Unexpectedly, the investigation revealed that they were true. At this point, Gan Yanling ordered the Imperial Guards to arrest all the children, but unexpectedly, the children began to escape.

In an instant, panic gripped the capital. More importantly, everyone was inside, afraid to leave their homes, lest they be beaten up by the children later.

Some children even fainted because they had no food. This matter also came to the attention of Gan Yanling on the road in the capital.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the reason they were all displaced was simply because their hometown had been submerged by a flood.

The children's parents died while protecting them, which is why there are so many orphans.

Gan Yanling must have developed a different opinion of Xin Ruyu at this time, since Xin Ruyu discovered the situation and told him at this moment, which allowed him to offer a solution to deal with the matter.

Originally, I wanted to entrust this matter to Xin Ruyu, but then I thought of Xin Ruyu, who is a prince. If Xin Ruyu gets too many stars, it is very likely that my throne will be in jeopardy.

In the end, Gan Yanling did not entrust the matter to Xin Ruyu, but instead assigned it to an ordinary official in the court, believing that the official was capable enough.

Xin Ruyu knew perfectly well that Gan Yanling's intention in doing this was simply that he was afraid that his own power would eventually surpass Gan Yanling's.

Unfortunately, Xin Ruyu believed that if he wanted to seize the throne, he only needed the right opportunity to do so.

A faint smile appeared on his lips, for at that moment he had only one thought: he had to win Gan Luo's heart.

He has been chasing Gan Luo here for a long time, but it has been to no avail.

At this moment, Xin Ruyu must have felt quite depressed, and he was still thinking about what to do next and how to marry Gan Luo into the royal family.

"Tell me when I will be able to invite this princess into the palace. I really want to know. I've noticed that despite my efforts, the princess seems completely unwilling to acknowledge me and even seems to dislike me. I'm at my wit's end."

He genuinely couldn't think of any solution at this point; he had thought he had a way, but now he realized he didn't.

He had clearly tried his best to win Gan Luo's favor, but Gan Luo only felt disgust towards him and had no affection for him whatsoever.

Gan Luo had naturally offended these homeless orphans outside.

Gan Luo had already sent people to investigate, and they eventually discovered that it was due to the flood. It has to be said that this year...

Gan Luo must have already opened the granaries to distribute food and helped these children.
