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

Chapter 242: Drinking Alone

Xin Ruyu is drinking alone here.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Zhao Wuji here. Zhao Wuji was somewhat puzzled when he saw Xin Ruyu drinking alone.

"Why is Your Highness drinking here alone? Has something happened?"

Zhao Wuji asked Xin Ruyu seriously.

Xin Ruyu was momentarily puzzled upon hearing Zhao Wuji's words. He had never expected Zhao Wuji to be here, which was quite shocking.

"I'd really like to know why you came to this place."

Xin Ruyu asked Zhao Wuji thoughtfully, and Zhao Wuji, upon hearing Xin Ruyu's words, was at a loss for words.

"Regarding this matter, I was merely out for a stroll and happened to run into Your Highness. Is Your Highness troubled here because of the Princess? To be honest, I truly don't understand why Your Highness..."

He genuinely didn't understand why Xin Ruyu would set his sights on Gan Luo. Gan Luo was clearly a person above the emperor and thousands of others, and more importantly, in Gan Luo's eyes, he was nothing...

This really raises some questions.

"I have my reasons for doing this, so why are you asking me questions? I only hope you understand one thing: you are my subordinate, and everything you do now must be in accordance with my orders."

Zhao Wuji sighed silently in his heart. After all, he really couldn't understand why Xin Ruyu couldn't be satisfied with Gan Luo. Although Gan Luo's status and position were obvious, and although marrying Gan Luo might give him the chance to win the world, there were so many extraordinary women in the world.

"Fine, why don't you join me here for a drink?"

Afterwards, Zhao Wuji and Xin Ruyu drank some wine together here.

"What do you think I should do next? To be honest, I'm having a bit of a headache right now. I've been thinking about it a lot, but I still can't figure out how to make Gan Luo see me."

He truly couldn't understand why Gan Luo had never been able to see his presence from beginning to end.

He was clearly sincere in his feelings for Gan Luo, but in the end, he discovered...

"Some things cannot be rushed, otherwise the result will be the opposite of what is expected. I hope Your Highness can understand this principle."

It wasn't that he didn't understand this principle, but rather that he genuinely felt a bit sad inside, since he sincerely wanted to be in harmony with Gan Luo.

On the other side, Gan Luo had already woken up. After waking up, Gan Luo asked Lin Fengmian to comb his hair.

Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Lin Fengmian was momentarily surprised, and he hesitated, unsure of what to do with the comb in his hand.

"Your Highness, are you sure you want me to comb your hair? I feel a little uncomfortable, but more importantly, I've never combed a woman's hair before."

Lin Fengmian was extremely frustrated; he truly hadn't expected Gan Luo to ask him to comb his hair.

"If I say you can do it, then you can do it. I'm not afraid."

Afterwards, Gan Luo closed his eyes to rest, while Lin Fengmian gently combed Gan Luo's hair.

Having done all this, Yuan Zheng returned. "Your Highness, there is something I wish to tell you."

Gan Luo was puzzled, wondering what Yuan Zheng was going to say.

She looked down at Yuan Zheng and said, "Just say what you want to say."

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but the Prince came here just now, and more importantly, he even climbed over the wall."

Gan Luo was a little surprised to learn that Xin Ruyu had climbed over the wall. After all, it was an insult to him that Xin Ruyu would suddenly know how to do it...

"I never expected Xin Ruyu to climb over the wall. It's quite shocking. Did you catch him before?"

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. I asked around and they admitted it."

Gan Luo decided to ask Xin Ruyu about his intentions later, since climbing over walls was not something a gentleman would do. If word got out that he was a thief, he would probably be laughed at.

After Lin Fengmian finished combing Gan Luo's hair, he asked Gan Luo how she liked the hairstyle. Gan Luo glanced at it and thought it was a bit simple, but she liked it.

"I quite like it."

Then Yuan Zheng looked at Gan Luo and asked, "Your Highness, did Guard Lin style your hair?"

Gan Luo nodded slightly to indicate that the hair was indeed styled by Lin Fengmian, and then asked Yuan Zheng what he thought of the hair.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Zheng said from the side that Guard Lin was also very talented, which made Lin Fengmian a little embarrassed. Lin Fengmian awkwardly scratched his head.

Lin Fengmian then turned his attention to Gan Luo's hair, only to find that it was loose and seemed like it would fall apart at any moment. Lin Fengmian couldn't help but reach out and fix the hairpin in place.

After all, Lin Fengmian was a martial artist, so his skills were naturally not as good as those of Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo.

"By the way, there is something else I want to tell you. They said you might as well go to the Prince Yu's residence and see what the prince is doing today. Now that the prince has returned disappointed, I am quite curious to know his mood."

Lin Fengmian must have done as Gan Luo said, and then he arrived at the Royal Prince's Mansion. However, upon arriving at the Royal Prince's Mansion, he found that the Royal Prince was not there.

Since there was no Yu Wang, Lin Fengmian was a little confused at this moment.

"The prince has been gone for so long, why hasn't he returned yet? Could something have happened to him?"

"Pah, don't talk nonsense here. The prince will definitely not be in any trouble."

Lin Fengmian then turned his attention to the maids.

Eventually, the maids sensed that someone was watching them. They all turned around to look, but to their surprise, they saw no one. They were in a state of confusion for a moment.

They all thought there would be someone there, but thankfully there is no one there now.

I was genuinely terrified at first.

"Just now, I felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at me, but when I turned my head, I found there were no eyes."

"I think you're just overthinking things and hallucinating. You should hurry up and wash these dirty clothes."

The two of them took the dirty clothes and went to the laundry tub to wash them.
