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

Chapter 241: The Gentleman on the Beam

After Gan Luo left, Gan Yanling sat on the dragon throne and sighed.

Just then, Jiang Yu arrived at the scene and walked up to Gan Yanling, gently massaging his shoulders.

"Your Majesty, why do you seem so worried here again? Has something happened?"

Gan Yanling suddenly felt that his neck was not as sore as before. He looked up and saw that Jiang Yu had come here and had been promoted by Gan Yanling to the position of Deputy Chief Steward of Internal Affairs.

"I want to ask you how you've been doing in the palace during this time, that is, how you've gotten used to being in the Imperial Household Department."

Jiang Yu told Gan Yanling that she had gotten used to things during this time and that Gan Yanling didn't need to worry too much.

Then Gan Yanling told him about the relationship between Gan Luo and Jiang Yu, as well as what Gan Luo had just said. Jiang Yu then told Gan Yanling, "Actually, this servant knows what Her Highness means by these things. After all, Her Highness is certainly reluctant to part with Miss Lin, who has been by her side for some time."

Moreover, Jiang Yu felt that Lin Ruohua preferred freedom and disliked being bound. Gan Luo respected Lin Ruohua's choice, which was why he came directly to the palace to tell Gan Yanling about this matter.

However, only Gan Luo himself could truly understand what was going on.

Meanwhile, Gan Luo returned to the Princess's residence, where Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo awaited his return.

"Your Highness, there is something you wish to tell you. The Prince was here just now, and it seems he wanted to invite you to a party."

Gan Luo had several big question marks above his head. He was going to a party? What kind of party? Gan Luo was a little puzzled.

"I find it rather puzzling that you want me to attend a party. What kind of party am I supposed to attend? I'm feeling a bit tired today, and I don't want to walk any further. I'm going to rest."

Lin Fengmian walked up to Gan Luo, intending to pick her up. After all, Gan Luo had been asking Lin Fengmian to carry her whenever she was tired lately, so Lin Fengmian was already used to it. Gan Luo couldn't help but tease him, "Have you become addicted to carrying me? What will you do if one day you can't carry me anymore?"

Suddenly, Lin Fengmian felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface and remained silent.

Looking at Gan Luo's expression, Lin Fengmian was momentarily at a loss for words. Gan Luo then gently tapped Lin Fengmian's head. "Don't frown here. It pains me to see you like this, you know? Come and rest with me."

If one could know that in Lin Fengmian's heart, he has always put himself first, then what Gan Luo just said would indeed frighten Lin Fengmian.

However, Gan Luo was not very clear about what the future would hold, nor could he guarantee it.

For Gan Luo, all he wanted was for Lin Fengmian and himself to be able to be happy together for the time being.

Gan Luo then turned her attention to Lin Fengmian and walked up to him. She gently patted Lin Fengmian's shoulder.

"I'm having trouble sleeping right now, why don't you stay with me and sleep for a while?"

Lin Fengmian originally intended to refuse, but unexpectedly, Gan Luo pulled him down onto the bed. Lin Fengmian felt that Gan Luo was clearly forcing himself on her.

"Your Highness, if word gets out about what's happening on our side, it will definitely threaten your reputation..."

"If you don't tell and I don't tell, who will know about this? Besides, I've been enjoying teasing people for a long time. I have so many male favorites in my household, do they not know my character and personality?"

Gan Luo yawned and fell asleep in Lin Fengmian's arms. Lin Fengmian listened to the even breathing and could only sigh silently. Lin Fengmian had a feeling that someone had come.

For some reason, Lin Fengmian suddenly heard a creaking sound. Just as he was about to get up, Gan Luo pressed him down tightly, and Lin Fengmian was unable to get up.

Meanwhile, Xin Ruyu was watching Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian lying on the same bed. He felt uneasy, never expecting that Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian could be so intimate.

At that moment, Yuan Zheng happened to arrive. He was somewhat shocked to see Xin Ruyu's appearance. More importantly, Xin Ruyu seemed a little angry, so he decided to follow him.

When Xin Ruyu suddenly saw Yuan Zheng's arrival, he panicked for a moment and hurriedly fled from the place. Only after he escaped and came outside did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Xin Ruyu had been thinking about how to get Gan Luo. Why not just force himself on her? Once it was a done deal, wouldn't he be able to get Gan Luo?

Meanwhile, Yuan Zheng was still tracking Xin Ruyu. When Yuan Zheng saw Xin Ruyu, he immediately shouted, "I never thought that a prince would one day become a thief. It's really a bit laughable, you know?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyu burst into laughter, claiming that he had just passed through the area. Yuan Zheng, however, told him that he had been tracking him all the way out, so why deny it here?

Xin Ruyu was extremely embarrassed at that moment. He had never expected to be caught red-handed. He was now thinking about what he should do next.

Ultimately, having no other choice, they had to admit that they hadn't heard from Gan Luo's return and wanted to go to the Princess's residence to see if he was sleeping.

Yuan Zheng then told Xin Ruyu that there's no such thing as a next time, and if there is a next time, don't blame him for being impolite.

In the end, Yuan Zheng left directly and returned to the Princess's residence, deciding to tell Gan Luo about this later.

Xin Ruyu clenched his fists so tightly that he didn't even feel his nails digging into his flesh; all he knew was that anger was welling up inside him.

Finally, he went to a restaurant and drank there, hoping to drown his sorrows. After all, he never expected to be caught red-handed one day.
