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

Chapter 297: Departure

Gan Luo noticed that Green Bamboo kept its eyes on Shangguan Mufeng and Lan Yan.

She must have known that Green Bamboo was feeling quite distressed. Gan Luo walked up to Green Bamboo and told her to leave first.

After chatting with Gan Luo and Lan Yan for a while, Shangguan Mufeng and Lan Yan finally left.

They eventually left, and Gan Luo went directly to Green Bamboo. "I want to ask you, do you still love Young Master Shangguan?"

"Although Your Highness says you like him, I know that it is impossible for me and Young Master Shangguan to be together. Moreover, Young Master Shangguan and Miss Lan Yan seem to be a perfect match. Why should I interfere in their relationship? Besides, I don't even have a place in Shangguan Wan'er's heart."

Gan Luo decided that he must find a suitable husband for Lü Zhu and let her get married so that she wouldn't be sad and heartbroken here because of Shangguan Mufeng.

Because of this incident, Green Bamboo has been in a state of unease all day. When the people around her saw her appearance, they came up to her and asked, "You seem really off today. Look at you, you spilled a basin of water all over the ground. You're usually very efficient."

When Green Bamboo heard their question, she was probably at a loss for words to answer them.

"It's nothing to worry about, everyone. I just didn't sleep well today, so I'm a little restless. Don't overthink it."

When they heard what Green Bamboo said, none of them really thought about it. After all, if Green Bamboo wanted to say it, she would definitely be willing to say it; if she didn't want to say it, she would simply not say it.

"By the way, let us handle these matters directly. Green Bamboo, you should get some rest. It's probably because you didn't sleep well last night that you made so many mistakes today."

Green Bamboo nodded slightly, as if she were a wooden figure, and went straight to the small garden. Upon arriving there, she saw the pond full of lotus flowers, squatted down, and began to cry silently.

As luck would have it, Gan Luo happened to pass by this place. When he saw Green Bamboo's current state, he went straight behind her and hugged her tightly. "If you want to cry, cry in my arms. I won't tell anyone."

"Your Highness, do you think that in this world, it's impossible to grow old together with the one you love? Is there anyone in the world you love?"

Gan Luo was surprised to hear about this and didn't know how to answer Green Bamboo. But perhaps Gan Luo did have someone she liked. However, as a princess, how could she so easily fall in love with someone?

"You only need to understand one thing: as a princess, my heart belongs only to the people of the world. How could I possibly like any one person?"

"But Your Highness is just a person, isn't she? If Your Highness is just a person, then why doesn't she come to like someone?"

Gan Luo never expected Green Bamboo to say those words here, and at this moment, Gan Luo didn't know how to answer Green Bamboo.

In the end, they just casually found a topic to talk about and brushed the matter off. After they got it over with, they didn't expect that Green Bamboo had already fallen asleep.

As luck would have it, Yuan Zheng arrived there. Seeing that Green Bamboo had fallen asleep, he went straight to Gan Luo. "Your Highness, why don't you give Green Bamboo to me? I'll take Miss Green Bamboo back with me."

Yuan Zheng spoke gently, and Gan Luo saw tenderness in Yuan Zheng's eyes, indicating that Yuan Zheng liked Green Bamboo.

After spending these days together, how could they not like each other? Although the two of them bickered often, there's a saying that goes, "a happy couple," isn't that right? Gan Luo then gave all the green bamboo to Yuan Zheng.

Gan Luo watched as the two of them stood up and left, and at that moment, Gan Luo seemed to be recalling these things from a very long time ago.

For some reason, when Gan Luo recalled these past events, he felt as if it were all a dream.

Perhaps this world is just a dream, and even the things Gan Luo is experiencing now are just things in a dream.

Looking at the huge peach tree in front of him, Gan Luo simply jumped onto the tree and lay down there.

The fragrance of peach blossoms wafted between Gan Luo's nostrils, and Gan Luo was suddenly transported back to a long, long time ago, to the time when he first met Lin Fengmian. It seemed that Lin Fengmian was unruly and, more importantly, that Gan Luo did not exist in Lin Fengmian's eyes.

At that time, Gan Luo made up his mind to conquer this person. In the end, although Gan Luo defeated Lin Fengmian, he was still injured.

More importantly, Lin Fengmian did not use lethal force at the time, but instead targeted Gan Luo, which is why Gan Luo won.

A faint smile appeared on Gan Luo's lips, just as Xin Ruyu arrived at the princess's residence.

Although the steward was not Xin Ruyu's purpose in coming here, he was ultimately allowed to enter, after all, the person in front of him was a prince.

Now that he had no excuse, he had no choice but to let Xin Ruyu in. As soon as Xin Ruyu came in, he saw Gan Luo lying on the peach tree, seemingly thinking about something.

More importantly, Gan Luo was actually smiling faintly here, and seeing this smile, Xin Ruyu was overjoyed at that moment.

Xin Ruyu stayed there silently, watching Gan Luo sleep. At this moment, Gan Luo sensed that someone had come. He opened his eyes and saw Xin Ruyu. He immediately took a few steps back.

"Why have you come to this place? How dare you disturb my rest?"

“Your Highness, I did not disturb you just now. You rested while I quietly stayed here, didn’t I?”

Upon closer reflection, it seemed that Xin Ruyu had indeed simply stayed quietly to the side without disturbing her.
