Chapter 356: Overconfident
Chapter 356: Overconfident
Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian have returned to the Princess's residence.
Unexpectedly, by sheer coincidence, I saw Xin Ruyu here.
When Xin Ruyu saw how Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian were interacting, he was definitely shocked at that moment.
"I never expected that Her Highness would allow her guards to hold her here. It's quite unbelievable to me. I never imagined that Her Highness would do something so improper in broad daylight."
Upon hearing Xin Ruyu's words, Gan Luo immediately jumped off Lin Fengmian and stared coldly at Xin Ruyu. "Your Highness, don't you think your actions are a bit too meddlesome? They're really making me feel..."
Lin Fengmian stayed quietly behind Gan Luo, while Xin Ruyu occasionally watched Lin Fengmian from there.
"At this moment, I'm quite curious about something: why is Your Highness so leisurely? You're always loitering around outside my princess's residence, it's really quite unbelievable to me. Doesn't Your Highness find it a bit..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xin Ruyu told Gan Luo that he had just happened to be passing by and wanted to say hello to Gan Luo and the other person.
"So that's how it is. But what I want to tell you is that you don't need to greet me next time, because I'll just feel a little tired."
Gan Luo then walked up to Lin Fengmian and led her directly into the Princess's residence, leaving Xin Ruyu standing behind, looking bewildered. For some reason, Xin Ruyu felt that Gan Luo had changed somewhat from before.
Before this, Gan Luo was not like this at all. More importantly, when he saw him, he would greet him respectfully.
But why don't they even say hello anymore these days? It's really frustrating for Xin Ruyu.
Zhao Wuji happened to arrive here and saw Xin Ruyu sighing, which made him a little confused.
"It's quite puzzling that Your Highness is alone in such a place. And now that Your Highness is standing outside the Princess's residence, could it be that Her Highness has left Your Highness here, preventing you from going in..."
When Xin Ruyu saw Zhao Wuji, she was somewhat shocked, because logically speaking, Zhao Wuji should not have come to the princess's residence. How could he be here now...? But Zhao Wuji told Xin Ruyu this.
"The reason I'm here is actually to meet with Her Highness the Princess and discuss some matters with her. I'm sure Her Highness will be interested in these matters."
So that's what happened. Xin Ruyu must understand now. Xin Ruyu planned to go in with Zhao Wuji, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that if they went in together, Gan Luo might become suspicious.
In the end, Xin Ruyu hid in the shadows, wanting to see if Zhao Wuji could successfully get in.
Looking at the princess's residence, Zhao Wuji recalled those days from before and felt a sudden sense of irony.
After all, Zhao Wuji had made up his mind beforehand that he would never come to the princess's residence again, but unexpectedly, he ended up here anyway.
Indeed, it was a vicious cycle of revenge. He then walked to the outside of the Princess's residence and gently knocked on the door.
If it weren't for the Grand Tutor sending him here to find Gan Luo, he wouldn't have come to this place to look for Gan Luo.
The steward would immediately tell Zhao Wuji to go back as soon as he saw him.
"It's unlikely that Her Highness the Princess would want to see you, so please leave here as soon as possible, lest Her Highness be angry if she sees you later."
Gan Luo was lying on a chair, leisurely basking in the sun, when she heard the commotion at the door and turned to look at Lin Fengmian. "Why don't you go and see what's going on? I just wanted to rest here for a while, why did I hear any noise?"
Lin Fengmian then went straight to the door and saw Zhao Wuji. In that instant, Lin Fengmian certainly didn't give him a friendly look. Lin Fengmian immediately drew his sword. "If you don't want your head and body to be separated, then you'd better leave this place right now, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite."
Zhao Wuji never expected that he would be threatened by Lin Fengmian here.
"If I refuse to leave, are you sure you can kill me? If you do kill me, my father will never let you go. More importantly, I am the son of the Grand Tutor. Look at your own status; you are nothing more than a guard."
In the end, he was just a lackey, but his status as a lackey was different from others. He actually dared to yell at him here. I really don't know who gave Lin Fengmian this courage.
Hearing Zhao Wuji's words from inside, Gan Luo immediately walked forward. "If I have granted Lin Fengmian these rights, and you dare to harass Lin Fengmian here again in the future, don't blame me for being impolite to you. My patience is limited."
Zhao Wuji never expected Gan Luo to come here. At this moment, Zhao Wuji felt that it was absolutely impossible for the two of them to have a conversation. In the end, Zhao Wuji had no choice.
He had no choice but to leave the place, and Xin Ruyu must have seen this scene clearly. As soon as Zhao Wuji left, Gan Luo said something.
"Is it fun to hide in the shadows? It's better to just come out and watch the show from here. Why keep hiding in the shadows?"
Xin Ruyu finally stepped forward awkwardly. He smiled and opened the fan in his hand. He really hadn't expected that Gan Luo would discover him. He thought it wouldn't happen.
"I never imagined that Your Highness would be so perceptive. It's quite unbelievable, even to me. I thought Your Highness hadn't noticed me at all, but it turns out it was just wishful thinking on my part."
"Heh." Gan Luo sneered, yawned, and left.
