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

Chapter 5: The New Favorite

Gan Luo had a headache, and after a long while he sighed: "I have summoned the imperial physician and given you the best medicine. If you don't take good care of yourself and waste my medicine, I will take your life!"

The glimmer of light that had just appeared in Lin Fengmian's dark eyes went out again. The princess really did intend to torture him severely after healing him.

Then she turned around nimbly to grab the blanket and lay down on the small bed fully clothed.

Gan Luo's brow twitched. Did Lin Fengmian misunderstand her? Was she really that fierce, always resorting to torture?

Her gaze shifted to the tiger-skin whip on the table at the foot of the bed, and she awkwardly touched her nose.

The next day, as soon as she made a sound, Lin Fengmian got up, like a well-trained machine.

"Green bamboo".

She called out softly, and Green Bamboo entered in single file with six maids to help her with her hair and makeup.

The familiar red jade crown was placed on her head. Gan Luo stared at her fair and smooth face in the bronze mirror, her radiance carrying a hint of aloofness. In her previous life, she did not care about her appearance and simply laughed off the popular title of the most beautiful woman in the capital.

"Princess, Young Master Zhao has caught a cold. Should we call a doctor for him?"

If it were before, the people from the Princess's residence would have immediately gone to invite him if Zhao Wuji had made a scene. But just yesterday, the princess ordered the cancellation of his privileges, and the people in the residence are always opportunistic.

"is it serious?"

Gan Luo spoke in a flat tone, as if Zhao Wuji were a complete stranger.

Before Green Bamboo could answer, Yuan Zheng strode in with heavy steps: "Your Highness, County Princess Xu has taken the doctor to Songfeng Courtyard."

Princess Xu, the daughter of the current prime minister and also her cousin, is known as a talented woman in the capital. She has always disapproved of Gan Luo forcing handsome men into the princess's residence and loves to sow discord between Gan Luo and Zhao Wuji.

But because she was his cousin, and Zhao Wuji spoke up for her, Gan Luo continued to tolerate her.

But she witnessed too many things while her soul was wandering. After she died, Xu Jinxin and Zhao Wuji had a grand wedding. Zhao Wuji's career was incredibly successful, and her existence was completely erased from the world.

Her tolerance is a joke.

"Can just anyone come and go as they please in my princess's residence?"

Yuan Zheng knelt on one knee, then on both knees, not daring to speak. It was only because the Princess herself had given the permission for Princess Xu to come and go freely.

Gan Luo heard Yuan Zheng's thoughts, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved to the shadows.

Lin Fengmian came out and obediently knelt down beside her.

Perhaps because he slept well last night, he looks even better today, finally showing some youthful vigor.

"Take off your clothes."

Gan Luo had already picked up the ointment, making a move to apply it to Lin Fengmian. This was the first time she had ever served someone since she was born.

Of course, she also showed concern for Zhao Wuji, but Zhao Wuji didn't care at all, so Lin Fengmian was the first lucky one.

There was no one here last night, but with so many people in the hall now, how could he possibly take off his clothes?

"Princess, I can apply the medicine myself." Lin Fengmian said, gesturing with his hands, waiting for Gan Luo to bestow the ointment.

Green Bamboo and Yuan Zheng were both shocked and almost couldn't control their expressions. The amount of information in Lin Fengmian's words was too much. Wasn't it him who applied the medicine last night?

Gan Luo weighed the options and decided not to persist.

"Then you can do it yourself. From today onwards, you no longer need to hide in the shadows. Be my personal bodyguard."

"……Yes."

The maid carrying the shoes was so shocked that she accidentally knocked over the plate, making a loud, jarring noise in the quiet hall.

"This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die!"
