Chapter 252: Return
"Your Highness, I don't understand something. Why do you keep helping Shangguan Mufeng? It's clear that there's something between Shangguan Mufeng and Lan Yan..."
Lin Fengmian really couldn't understand why Gan Luo kept helping Shangguan Mufeng, even though the two of them...
The important thing is that Lin Fengmian really felt sorry for Gan Luo, who was actually spoken to like that by Lan Yan just now.
Gan Luo is a princess, a woman of noble birth, yet she has encountered such a thing.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Lin Fengmian reached out and touched Gan Luo's head. This sudden action shocked Gan Luo, who hadn't expected Lin Fengmian to touch her head.
"I never expected you to be here. It's quite a thrill to see you without my head. Aren't you afraid I'll punish you?"
Lin Fengmian shook his head and said that if Gan Luo wanted to punish him, he could just do so directly.
"There's something else I want to tell you. The reason I helped Shangguan Mufeng is because I signed him. So, I want to use this to repay everything I owe."
So that's how it is. Lin Fengmian suddenly understood, and then he told Gan Luo about it.
"No matter what happens, I will always be by Your Highness's side. Even if the sky falls, I will help Your Highness hold it up."
Gan Luo thought Lin Fengmian was really stupid. What was going on? What did he mean by saying that if the sky fell down, Lin Fengmian would be the one to hold it up? As a princess of a country, Gan Luo should be the one to hold it up, not him.
"There is something I also want to tell you. I hope you can understand that in my heart, you will always be a unique existence."
Gan Luo then told Lin Fengmian, "There's one more thing I'd like you to know."
Gan Luo raised his head and looked at Lin Fengmian seriously. For Gan Luo, he hoped that Lin Fengmian could be well and that Lin Fengmian could always stay by his side.
If he could, Gan Luo would now want to grow old with Lin Fengmian for the rest of his life.
However, given their vastly different social statuses, if they were to marry here, the civil and military officials of the court would undoubtedly have some reservations about Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian. Gan Luo hated nothing more than being pointed at and gossiped about in this place; the more people pointed at them, the angrier Gan Luo became.
Gan Luo didn't think it mattered, but he didn't want Lin Fengmian to suffer the same fate.
Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian walked and walked until they returned to the princess's residence.
Lin Ruohua then reported something to Gan Luo: "Today, my subordinate happened to pass by the Prime Minister's residence and indeed saw several men in black inside."
Hearing that there were several men in black, Gan Luo asked Lin Ruohua, "Do you know what they're talking about these days?"
They didn't seem to be talking about anything these days.
Because under the circumstances at the time, Lin Ruohua had no way to get in.
They were heavily guarded, and Lin Ruohua could only wait outside.
“But Your Highness, the only thing I know is that this black man went in and never came out. This means that he has some kind of relationship with the Prime Minister. If that’s the case, then we all have to be careful in the future to avoid being tricked by the Prime Minister behind our backs.”
After listening to what Lin Ruohua said, Gan Luo decided to strengthen the defenses in the princess's residence to avoid being tricked there.
Yuan Zheng happened to arrive in front of Gan Luo and said that he had been feeling that there were some sneaky men in black around the princess's residence in the past few days.
"You said there have been strange men in black at the Princess's residence these past few days? This is actually quite puzzling to me. I don't quite understand why there would be men in black at the Princess's residence."
To be honest, Gan Luo was genuinely puzzled; she couldn't understand why there were men in black here.
This really puzzled Gan Luo. He then decided to stay up all night and keep watch to see if there really were black people there. If there were, Gan Luo would definitely teach them a lesson.
She will definitely show these men in black what she's capable of.
Gan Luo then decided to take a nap, as he was indeed tired today.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister learned that the Governor's daughter was in love with Shangguan Mufeng, and combined the identities of Shangguan Mufeng and the Governor with his own. However, he realized that he absolutely could not provoke either of them, because if he did, the consequences would be unimaginable.
More importantly, when did Shangguan Mufeng and Lan Yan get together? This is quite puzzling.
After all, according to the Prime Minister, shouldn't Shangguan Mufeng's beloved be the emperor's concubine? How could he have fallen for her now...?
In that instant, the Prime Minister actually wished he had a son. If he had a son, he could seize the Governor's daughter right now. Once he had the Governor's daughter, it would be considered to have stabilized Prime Minister Xu's position.
After all, although Prime Minister Xu was a person above all others in the court, there were still many people in the court who were dissatisfied with him.
Gan Luo wanted exactly this effect. His goal was simple: to turn the prime minister into a pariah.
Even if the prime minister is Gan Luo's uncle, so what?
For Gan Luo, anyone who dares to rebel against him will suffer a terrible fate. This is Gan Luo's current thought, and he will make sure that person pays the price.
Gan Luo then turned his gaze to the distance.
She's been thinking about what to do next.
After thinking about this and that, I still couldn't come up with anything, and at that moment I felt a bit of a headache.
Gan Luo then had Lin Fengmian massage his head.
Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Lin Fengmian knew he must be rubbing Gan Luo's head here.
Lin Fengmian's technique was very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting Gan Luo.
