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

Chapter 184: Playing

Time flew by and the next day arrived.

Lin Fengmian had gotten up early and packed all the items between the two of them.

When Gan Luo woke up, he found the room to be very clean and tidy. Gan Luo looked up and saw Lin Fengmian busy at work. At this moment, Gan Luo found it a little funny. Gan Luo stood up and went around to Lin Fengmian's back.

Her breath sprayed onto Lin Fengmian's neck, and Lin Fengmian felt a little itchy. He turned his head to look at Gan Luo.

"you……"

He had intended to say something, but upon seeing Gan Luo, he swallowed his words deeply.

Why did you wake up so early? Why didn't you sleep a little longer? It's still early today.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmian told Gan Luo that he wanted to pack these things up as soon as possible to avoid being too rushed later. When Gan Luo heard what Lin Fengmian said, he felt that Lin Fengmian was a bit like a virtuous woman. Why was that?

After tidying up, seeing that it was still early, I turned around and went back to sleep for a while. Lin Fengmian was here cooking porridge for Gan Luo. Looking at Gan Luo's sleeping face, Lin Fengmian actually wished that the days could pass a little slower.

After all, once they returned to the princess's residence, such days would be gone forever.

Lin Fengmian couldn't help but walk up to Gan Luo. Gan Luo was already awake, but he didn't move, wanting to see what Lin Fengmian would do. Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmian reached out and flicked Gan Luo's nose.

Lin Fengmian then secretly smiled there.

At this moment, Gan Luo had only one thought: how could he have sensed that Lin Fengmian was being so foolish?

Gan Luo pretended to have just woken up and yawned. Lin Fengmian naturally went to fetch a basin of water for Gan Luo.

After washing up, Gan Luo changed into simple clothes and casually tied her hair up. She then came to the table and saw the porridge that Lin Fengmian had cooked. Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmian had added other ingredients to it. The porridge tasted very soft, sticky and sweet.

"I do like this porridge."

"If Your Highness likes it, I will make it for you when I return to the Princess's residence."

The two then returned to the princess's residence. Unexpectedly, the steward saw them upon their return and was extremely excited, even bowing to Gan Luo.

When Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo learned that Gan Luo had returned, they rushed to the door to greet him. Everyone was so excited to see them, but at that moment they were all a little confused.

"Your Highness, you're finally back! I've missed you so much."

Green Bamboo focused her gaze on Lin Fengmian. It must be because of Lin Fengmian that Gan Luo was unwilling to return to the Princess's residence.

At this moment, Gan Luo naturally realized what Green Bamboo was thinking.

"I was just feeling a little bored staying at the princess's residence, so I went out for a walk to clear my head."

Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo noticed that Gan Luo seemed to be in much better spirits than before. He had looked a bit haggard before, but now he was radiant.

It seems that Gan Luo's trip to relax was indeed somewhat effective.

Upon learning of Gan Luo's return, Yuan Zheng also came to the front hall to pay his respects to Gan Luo and told him in detail about everything that had happened at the Princess's residence during this period.

Gan Luo hurriedly found Xu Jiu, only to find her sitting in a chair looking rather sullen. There were many pastries next to her, but Xu Jiu hadn't touched a single one.

"Why are you sitting here alone? Where is your maid? Didn't I send someone to serve you?"

"Sister, don't worry too much. She just wanted to be alone for a while, so she sent them away."

Gan Luo was also a woman. Even though she knew martial arts, she was still unruly and domineering. But Gan Luo was still a woman after all.

"Judging from your appearance, you must be troubled by love. If you like someone, why won't you admit it? You could have made it work, but you're unwilling to do so now."

Xu Jiu looked at Gan Luo and told him about her worries.

"Now that you're here, what do you want to do? Do you still need to ask your father's opinion? Besides, this is a major life event, not a joke."

Gan Luo believed that since Xu Jiu's father had always doted on Xu Jiu, even after their marriage, he would likely stand on Xu Jiu's side.

Otherwise, how could a spoiled princess be raised? When Gan Luo first met this princess from the neighboring country, she complained about this and that, which shocked him. Gan Luo was also a princess, but he was not as weak as her.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. I will remember your words and will tell you my thoughts once I have thought them through."

Gan Luo nodded slightly upon hearing what the neighboring princess said, and then gave her a hairpin, which turned out to be a tassel hairpin.

"This hairpin suits you very well."

In the Shangguan residence, Shangguan Nantian told Shangguan Mufeng about this matter. Upon hearing this, Shangguan Mufeng's expression changed for a moment. He had never expected that Xu Jiu would come here in person. However, Xu Jiu did not come in but left directly. It seemed that Xu Jiu did not know how to face him.

In fact, Shangguan Mufeng didn't know how to face Xu Jiu either. More importantly, for Xu Jiu, there was only Xin Ruyu in her heart, wasn't there?

The thought of Xin Ruyu instantly enraged Shangguan Mufeng, who slammed his fist into the tree, causing leaves to fall to the ground.

Because of these maids, the servants all lowered their heads and dared not raise them, fearing that if they stayed any longer they would offend Xin Ruyu and suffer the consequences. Xin Ruyu saw their behavior and snorted coldly.

"Father, it seems that I haven't attended court for several days. I wonder if anyone has said anything about me during this time."

"Don't worry, no one will say anything. Even if someone does, I can suppress them. After all, my status is what it is, isn't it? I am different from before."

The Minister of War himself was also surprised to learn of this news.

He never imagined that Gan Luo would actually spend some time traveling and sightseeing during this period. If only he had known...

Even more importantly, the princess from the neighboring country was assassinated.

The Minister of War has been dismissed from his post by Gan Yanling and has not attended court for quite some time.
