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

Chapter 190: Testing

Lin Liujie drew his sword and charged toward Lin Fengmian. Lin Fengmian reacted quickly, flipping to the side and successfully dodging Lin Liujie's attack.

He remembered that Gan Luo had extremely high requirements for selecting personal guards, and he never expected that Lin Fengmian would be able to successfully become Gan Luo's personal guard.

Lin Fengmian took a few steps back, maintaining a certain distance from the other person.

"Although I don't know why you want to fight me, if you want to compete with me, why don't you go outside?"

The intention behind doing this was actually quite simple: to avoid Lin Fengmian making a mess of the room later, which he didn't want, as Gan Luo would definitely be very angry when he woke up.

At this moment, Lin Fengmian and Lin Liujie arrived. Outside, Lan Yan just watched from the side, feeling a headache coming on. When would her brother stop being so reckless?

Lan Yan carefully examined Lin Fengmian. She had to admit that Lin Fengmian was indeed handsome and dashing. His appearance was probably one of the best among men. In the past, she thought that Lazy Sheep was already a handsome man, but now that she saw Lin Fengmian, she realized that the two were worlds apart.

At this moment, Lin Fengmian only used three moves to successfully subdue Lin Liujie, and Lin Liujie had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Guard Lin is indeed formidable!" Lin Liujie threw his sword to the ground and praised Lin Fengmian.

Gan Luo heard the crashing sound outside and got up.

She had no idea what was going on or why there was a crackling sound coming from outside.

At this moment, Gan Luo, wearing a cloak, had already arrived. Upon seeing Gan Luo's attire, Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo hurriedly pushed him into the house.

“Your Highness, people have come from outside. You cannot dress like this. If you do, it is not in accordance with the rules and you would only give them an advantage.”

Gan Luo realized that someone must have come, so he asked them why they hadn't told him.

"Your Highness has not had a proper rest these past few days. We servants hope that Your Highness can get some rest, so we did not come to disturb you."

Gan Luo finally understood what was going on.

Gan Luo turned his attention to them and told them that if anyone else came, they could simply report it.

After Gan Luo came out, he saw Lin Liujie and Lan Yan. He didn't expect that the two of them would come here in person. Gan Luo asked them the purpose of their visit, but the two of them knelt down on the ground with a thud.

This action left Gan Luo somewhat bewildered; he didn't understand why they were kneeling on the ground. "If there's anything you need to say, you might as well stand up and speak; there's no need to kneel here."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for saving my life."

Several big question marks appeared above Gan Luo's head. When had he ever saved their lives? After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Gan Luo had never saved their lives at all, yet they were here thanking Gan Luo.

"If it weren't for Her Highness the Princess, my sister would probably have married into a neighboring country. It is because of Her Highness the Princess that your sister was not sent to a political marriage."

It turned out to be just a trivial matter, something that Gan Luo didn't care about. He had someone help them up.

Gan Luo then turned his attention to Lin Liujie. Lin Liujie and Lazy Sheep looked very similar, but Lin Liujie seemed to have a rather impatient temperament.

"It is now time for dinner, so you may stay at the princess's residence for dinner before returning."

Lin Liujie and Lan Yan refused, and Gan Luo did not force them to stay, letting them leave.

After they left, Yuan Zheng returned and told Gan Luo that he had investigated the matter thoroughly and that it was the opinion given by Liu Wen, the Imperial Censor in the court.

"Imperial Censor Liu Wen? I have absolutely no recollection of this official. Does he not hold the slightest position in the court?"

Why would Imperial Censor Liu Wen bring up this matter?

"Go and investigate again whether this Imperial Censor has been in contact with anyone recently."

Inside the Prince Yu's residence, Xin Ruyu listened to his subordinates report on the events of the past few days. He was quite shocked that Gan Luo had actually intercepted a marriage.

Then, upon hearing about the details of Xin Ruyu's marriage, he felt that Gan Luo possessed insightful abilities that were in no way inferior to those of men. If Gan Luo were a man, he would certainly be able to become a monarch.

According to Xin Ruyu, the reason why the officials in the court had opinions about Gan Luo was simply because Gan Luo was a woman. Women were not allowed to interfere in politics, but Gan Luo interfered from time to time, which was the reason why the officials in the court had opinions about Gan Luo.

But sometimes you have to agree with Gan Luo's ideas.

For example, the vast majority of officials in the court agreed with Gan Luo this time.

"By the way, who ordered the emperor to do this?"

At this moment, Xin Ruyu also felt that Gan Yanling was really incredibly foolish, believing whatever others said.

If the two countries were to form a marriage alliance, given the past bad habits of this small country, it would definitely suffer losses. Moreover, this small country had single-handedly overthrown its neighbor and ultimately annexed its territory, which is now expanding ever larger.

"I haven't been able to investigate this matter, nor do I know who ordered His Majesty to do it. This is all I've found out."

These matters are indeed quite complicated.

However, Gan Luo seems to have already put the matter of investigating the assassin out of his mind.

Xin Ruyu was naturally quite happy at that moment, because this meant he was relatively safe.

At this time, inside the Imperial Censor's residence, the Imperial Censor had naturally committed suicide.

However, the news had already spread, and when they learned of it, they all believed that the person had committed suicide out of fear of punishment.

Gan Luo always felt that there was something strange about this, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Gan Luo then turned his gaze to Lin Fengmian: "If it were you, what would you think of this situation?"

Lin Fengmian didn't understand Gan Luo's meaning, so he asked him carefully.

Gan Luo then asked Lin Fengmian if Lin Fengmian would commit suicide if he had given the emperor the idea and the matter came to light.
