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

Chapter 377: Deception

After Shangguan Mufeng left, Gan Luo looked up at Lin Fengmian again.

"I've always wanted to ask you something: do you want to know about your own background?"

Gan Luo was particularly curious whether Lin Fengmian wanted to know about his own background.

She has been keeping an eye on Lin Fengmian. If Lin Fengmian wants to know about his background, Gan Luo will do her best to help him investigate it.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmian's eyes suddenly became dull and lifeless.

After using mind-reading to check, Gan Luo realized that Lin Fengmian was afraid that he would lose him. It has to be said that this kid is indeed a bit stupid. Gan Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud at what was going on.

"How could I possibly lose you? You don't need to think too much about it. I want to investigate the reason for your background. It's because you've been living without a known background for so many years. I believe you're also a little confused about your identity."

Although that is indeed the case, Lin Fengmian had long been used to such things. Lin Fengmian only hoped to stay by Gan Luo's side, regardless of his status, as long as he was always by Gan Luo's side.

After all, Lin Fengmian had liked Gan Luo for a very long time, and now that he had finally been able to stay by his side, how could Lin Fengmian let go of such a good opportunity?

For some reason, Gan Luo suddenly felt that Lin Fengmian seemed very well-behaved.

For a moment, Gan Luo felt a pang of guilt. He then told Lin Fengmian that he only wanted to help Lin Fengmian investigate his background and had no other intentions. Lin Fengmian listened and finally nodded slightly.

Since Gan Luo wants to investigate his background, let him do so. He doesn't care about such things anyway; he's just an orphan.

In the dead of night, the people in the princess's residence suddenly sensed that someone had arrived. They then saw several furtive men in black enter the princess's study. Once inside, these men began ransacking the room, while the others stood guard outside.

They were now essentially lying in wait, eager to see what kind of mischief the group inside was up to.

"My lord, what do you suggest we do next? They've entered the princess's study, as if they're looking for something."

Yuan Zheng made a shushing gesture, and then he flew directly onto the roof.

Yuan Zheng was here, listening to what they were saying inside. He never expected that they would be here to find military power for the National Protection Army.

At this moment, Yuan Zheng simply waved his hand, and all the people around him rushed in.

The group of men in black inside had never expected there to be so many people. They panicked instantly, each holding a sum of money, and resisted them.

They were particularly curious about when these people had discovered their arrival, as they had a feeling that they had been waiting outside for a while.

"Who exactly are you? Are you here to find military power within the National Protection Army? If that's the case..."

Before Yuan Zheng could finish speaking, the leader of the men in black on the other side said directly, "Does that mean we need to tell them what we're looking for?"

At this moment, Yuan Zheng must have felt that they had brought this upon themselves. Yuan Zheng simply waved his hand, and the people around him rushed over and beat them to a pulp.

Just as they were about to arrest them all, this group of people produced some white powder from somewhere, and their vision was instantly blurred. By the time they realized what was happening, the group had already fled.

They must have been furious at that moment, never expecting that the other party would move so fast.

Yuan Zheng was definitely thinking about what to do next, and he kept thinking about this method, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with anything.

"To avoid them turning back later, you should hide in this dark thicket and make sure they don't find you."

Upon hearing this, they all nodded in agreement, indicating that there was absolutely no problem. They then hid in the bushes, afraid of disturbing them later.

Yuan Zheng saw them all hiding in the bushes at that moment, and it was at that moment that he lost sight of them.

It's so late now, Gan Luo must already be asleep, so she naturally wouldn't disturb him. This made Lin Fengmian a little puzzled, and she couldn't help but walk up to Yuan Zheng.

"Why are you standing here all alone? Why aren't there any other people around?"

"There's something I need to tell you. There's been an assassin who has infiltrated the princess's robes. You must keep a close watch on Her Highness from now on, okay? Her Highness has been quite tired these past few days, and her reaction speed and other things are definitely not what they used to be."

For some unknown reason, Gan Luo found himself burning up with fever on the second day, and his body felt completely alien to him.

At this moment, Gan Luo was lying on the bed, struggling to keep his body upright, but he was just a little short and fell to the ground with a thud.

Fortunately, Gan Luo was helped up by Lin Ruohua. Lin Ruohua did not expect that Gan Luo's body would have such a problem, and hurriedly went to invite a divine doctor to examine Gan Luo.

Ultimately, the divine physician concluded that Gan Luo had been too preoccupied with matters of the court, and that some ailments from the past had simply recurred. However, he needed to rest quietly in the princess's residence for the next few days.

Once they all learned about this, they would definitely start to care about Gan Luo.

Gan Luo glanced at them and told them to keep the matter a secret and not to tell anyone else.
