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

Chapter 235: Are they connected?

"Your Highness is indeed worthy of being called Your Highness. Your demeanor is truly admirable."

Shangguan Mufeng laughed a few times. Actually, Shangguan Mufeng really wanted to know what Gan Luo was afraid of. Was there anything Gan Luo was afraid of?

At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng was on his way to visit Gan Luo when he unexpectedly encountered Zhao Wuji on the street. Upon seeing Zhao Wuji, Shangguan Mufeng felt a bit unlucky.

"Oh, who is this? I didn't expect it to be Young Master Shangguan. He's just like any other plaything thrown out of the princess's residence."

Shangguan Mufeng, listening to Zhao Wuji's words, sneered sarcastically. "Don't compare yourself to me. I'm an official in the court, while you're just someone who stays at home..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Wuji suddenly became angry, but Shangguan Mufeng completely ignored him.

"I only want to tell you one thing: it's a good thing that Her Highness the Princess was able to kick you out."

Zhao Wuji was furious when he heard what Shangguan Mufeng said.

She was nothing more than a plaything in the princess's mansion, yet she dared to shout at him, even though his father was the Grand Tutor.

"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

"All you've got is the ability to seduce the princess with your looks so that she'll give you a position. What's so great about that?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Mufeng was naturally displeased. He immediately opened his folding fan, walked up to Zhao Wuji, and placed the fan against Zhao Wuji's neck.

Shangguan Mufeng said coldly, "I am not the same as you. I am not some kind of vase. You are just a broken vase that can only be looked at and has no other use. Don't compare yourself to me."

Before leaving, Shangguan Mufeng reminded Zhao Wuji, "I hope you understand that you shouldn't keep courting death, otherwise you won't even know how you died."

After that, Shangguan Mufeng left, leaving Zhao Wuji standing there in a daze. After Shangguan Mufeng left, Xin Ruyu came out.

"Your Highness, I never expected this person to look down on me. Are my subordinates really that bad?"

"In two days it will be the day the governor's daughter chooses her husband. You must try to snatch the embroidered ball then. I hope you can marry the governor's daughter. If you do, it will definitely help your future."

"Your Highness's subordinates are a little confused as to why you sent them down..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xin Ruyu told him to stop talking. At that moment, Xin Ruyu brought Zhao Wuji to the teahouse.

Xin Ruyu had sensed that someone was behind them, but he wasn't sure who it was. Fortunately, there was no one there now.

"I can answer your questions. I don't think you are a talentless person. It's just that you have talent but nowhere to use it. If you stay by my side and do things for me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

"Your Highness, what are your plans? Do you intend to become the king of this place?"

At this moment, Xin Ruyu felt that the person in front of him was as stupid as a pig. How could such a thing be said in this person's place? Wasn't he afraid that the walls would have ears? Once these words reached the palace and the ears of the current emperor, how many heads would they have to lose?

"What are you saying? How could I possibly have such thoughts?"

At this moment, the waiter approached Xin Ruyu and asked what they needed. Xin Ruyu then asked the waiter to bring out all the signature dishes of their teahouse.

The person who was watching them just now was Shangguan Mufeng.

Shangguan Mufeng had been pondering one thing the whole way: how could Xin Ruyu and Zhao Wuji have become so close? It was truly quite surprising.

Upon arriving at the princess's residence, Shangguan Mufeng informed Gan Luo of the matter. Gan Luo immediately dispatched people to investigate, as he sensed that Zhao Wuji seemed to be someone close to Xin Ruyu.

"Does Your Highness also have this thought? Actually, I had the same thought just now. I always felt that the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time."

If that's the case, then was Zhao Wuji's purpose in staying by Gan Luo's side before in order to pass on information? If that's really the case, Gan Luo would never let Zhao Wuji go and would definitely send him to hell.

Gan Luo hated deceitful people more than anything in his life.

Although Zhao Wuji had indeed deceived Gan Luo before, it wasn't to an excessive degree. This was truly outrageous, and Gan Luo couldn't let it go so easily.

Gan Luo already knew Xin Ruyu's intentions.

In the last instance, he simply destroyed the palace under the pretext of avenging Gan Luo, thus declaring himself king.

How could Gan Luo not know what Xin Ruyu was thinking?

As Gan Luo pondered this, he resolved to eliminate Xin Ruyu as soon as possible, or rather, to send Xin Ruyu back to his fiefdom.

In fact, Gan Luo did not want Xin Ruyu to die. If Xin Ruyu had returned to his fiefdom and stayed there obediently, living the life of a carefree prince, Gan Luo would never have wanted to kill him. However, if Xin Ruyu had other intentions, Gan Luo would never have let him live.

Although Gan Yanling was indeed not a good ruler, he was Gan Luo's younger brother from beginning to end.

In this world, Gan Luo only had Gan Yanling as a relative.

Disappointment is one thing, but protecting is another. Gan Luo looked at the military power in his hands and sighed.

After all, I'm someone who's lived twice; I don't know how long I'll last this time.

Shangguan Mufeng looked around but didn't see Lin Fengmian. "Your Highness, where is Guard Lin? Wasn't Guard Lin always by your side before? Why can't I see him now?"

"I sent him to do something for me, so you don't need to worry too much."

Afterwards, Lou Yan was taken back to the princess's residence by Gan Luo. Lou Yan did not know why Gan Luo had arranged for him to stay in the same place for so long. Even though he wanted to return to the princess's residence, he was always given excuses to avoid it.

But now Gan Luo kindly took him back to the princess's residence. All of this made Lou Yan feel puzzled and he couldn't understand what Gan Luo was thinking.
