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

Chapter 233: Madness?

"Your Highness, what are you trying to say by telling me these things?"

Gan Luo shook his head. "I just haven't visited the Prime Minister for a while, so I thought I'd come and see him. Why should the Prime Minister think so much about it?"

Looking at Gan Luo's ambiguous smile, Xu Jinxin felt that Gan Luo was like a smiling tiger.

"By the way, there's something else I wanted to ask you. How are things between you and Young Master Zhao? Do you need me to personally arrange your marriage with His Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jinxin was truly shocked by Gan Luo's behavior. Xu Jinxin felt that Gan Luo seemed to have gone mad. Gan Luo walked up to Xu Jinxin and carefully examined her.

"What exactly do you want to do? Gan Luo, you came here and said these things to my father, and now you're planning to have Zhao Wuji and me be married."

Gan Luo then told Xu Jinxin, "Because I think you two are a perfect match, that's why I'm thinking of arranging your marriage. Don't you both want to? It really makes me feel a little uncomfortable."

Gan Luo pretended to be in pain, but Xu Jinxin felt that Gan Luo was being hypocritical and took a few steps back.

“Your Highness, if you have something to say, you can say it directly. There’s no need to hide it here. If you do, I will only think that you are implying something else…”

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu turned his head and glanced at the maid behind him. The maid immediately understood, after all, she had been with Prime Minister Xu for many years. The maid hurriedly ran outside.

When Gan Luo saw the maid running outside, he naturally didn't send anyone to stop her. At this moment, Gan Luo was quite curious to know what kind of trouble the maid was up to.

Gan Luo was rather puzzled. At this moment, the maid ran outside and rushed straight into the palace. However, as soon as she arrived at the palace, the Imperial Guards intercepted her.

"Who are you, and what is your purpose in coming here? Let me give you a piece of advice: this palace is not a place for ordinary people. If you know what's good for you, you'd better get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite."

The maid then produced Prime Minister Xu's token. When the Imperial Guards saw the token in the maid's hand, they hurriedly led the maid inside.

At this moment, the maidservant went directly to see Gan Yanling. Gan Yanling looked at the maidservant with some surprise, wondering what her purpose was.

"Your Majesty, the Eldest Princess is currently in the Prime Minister's residence. Please go and save the Prime Minister as soon as possible."

The maidservant knelt down with a thud, begging Gan Yanling to hurry and save the Prime Minister. Gan Yanling was a little surprised when he heard this. What was Gan Luo going to the Prime Minister's mansion for? More importantly, looking at the maidservant's appearance, it seemed as if Gan Luo was going to kill and set fires.

Subsequently, Gan Yanling naturally arrived at the Prime Minister's residence and saw Gan Luo. Gan Yanling was in the Prime Minister's residence with Gan Luo, sitting leisurely with his legs crossed, and eating grapes. Prime Minister Xu, on the other hand, had a very unpleasant expression.

The eunuch announced, "His Majesty has arrived!"

Everyone had stood up and was respectfully bowing to Gan Yanling.

I never imagined that the maid went out to fetch reinforcements, but will fetching reinforcements even make a difference? In any case, the prime minister has to go to Jiangnan.

"Your Majesty, I have something I want to tell you. In a few days, we will be going to the south of the Yangtze River. You still have many matters to attend to in the court. Why don't you just send the Prime Minister there? After all, we had planned to send him there before."

Gan Luo spoke these words earnestly, and for some reason, Gan Yanling sensed a hidden meaning in Gan Luo's words, or perhaps Gan Luo was saying them on purpose.

If we deny it, Gan Luo might be unhappy, and if Gan Luo is unhappy, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause? Besides, the original plan was to send the Prime Minister to Jiangnan.

"I think what my elder sister said makes a lot of sense. Why not just send the prime minister to the south of the Yangtze River? Four days from now will be a good day to go down to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Your Majesty, if I were to go, I would not be able to return for two months. During these two months, there will be no prime minister in the court. So, who should I entrust with my duties?"

Xu Jinxin knelt down with a thud, speaking up for her father. After all, the Prime Minister was already quite old, and the journey to Jiangnan was long. What if her father encountered something on the way?

"If that's the case, what are your thoughts? Do you want to replace him? But I think that in this court, besides my position, the position of the prime minister is the highest. Seeing the prime minister is like seeing me, which makes it easier to win the hearts of the people."

Now that the matter was settled, Prime Minister Xu turned to look at Xu Jinxin and told her not to say anything more.

Xu Jinxin was filled with resentment and wanted nothing more than to teach Gan Luo a lesson.

Xu Jinxin stood up without hesitation, intending to slap Gan Luo, but before she could even touch Gan Luo's clothes, Gan Luo firmly grabbed her wrist.

"Were you trying to hit me just now? How about I teach you about hierarchy instead?"

Gan Luo then slapped Xu Jinxin across the face, making her see stars and drawing blood from the corner of her mouth.

Gan Luo then slapped Xu Jinxin again, and after the two slaps, Xu Jinxin's face was already swollen.

"The reason I slapped you these two times is to tell you not to try to hit me here. After all, you are not worthy of my noble status. You are nothing more than a young lady from an official family."

The Prime Minister also felt that Xu Jinxin was acting too rashly. More importantly, Gan Luo's status was what it was. If they dealt with Gan Luo like this, they would be asking for trouble.

At this moment, the Prime Minister felt a bit of a headache, but he also felt very sorry for Xu Jinxin, after all, Gan Luo's two slaps had been so loud.

Xu Jinxin was crying here, tears streaming down her face, one by one falling to the ground.

Gan Yanling felt that Gan Luo had done the right thing this time, after all, Gan Yanling was the eldest princess, while Xu Jinxin was just a daughter of an official, which was a huge difference in their status.

If the daughter of an official were to attack the eldest princess, wouldn't she be laughed at by the common people?
