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

Chapter 227: Tit for tat

"Your Highness, is this to arrange for His Majesty to take a concubine?"

The palace maids were whispering among themselves.

They were all very curious: Gan Luo wanted to arrange a concubine for Gan Yanling, so would Gan Yanling agree? For a moment, they even had a little expectation, while some felt that the emperor would probably never agree.

However, some people think that the emperor would agree, after all, Gan Luo is the emperor's own sister, wouldn't he agree to what his own sister says?

"I share the same thoughts as you, that's for sure."

After all, she is the emperor's own sister. With his own sister making the decision herself, how could the emperor's younger brother possibly disagree? Even if he did disagree, he would probably have no choice but to agree.

Gan Luo overheard the palace maids chatting and laughing, and he was very displeased. He stared at them with a cold expression.

The palace maids immediately shut their mouths. They all knew that if they continued talking, they would definitely be in deep trouble, and they didn't want things to turn out badly.

In the end, they left this place in a sneaky and shady manner.

After they left, Hua Yu looked at Gan Luo and couldn't help but ask, "Your Highness, have I caused you any trouble by staying here? Perhaps I should go back and not continue with you."

Unexpectedly, Gan Luo refused outright, saying that since they were already in the palace, they should take a good walk around it. Besides, as the eldest princess, it was just a matter of letting her walk around; what was wrong with that?

"But if Her Highness were seen by these palace maids and servants, wouldn't that cause some..."

"As the eldest princess, what's wrong with me taking my subordinates for a stroll in the palace? Isn't this palace my home? My father, the emperor, supported me, and I grew up in the palace. More importantly, my status is second only to the emperor."

Hua Yu listened to what Gan Luo said and felt that what Gan Luo said made a lot of sense.

At the outset, it was thought that Gan Luo would consider the feelings of those around him, but it turned out that Gan Luo did not care about them at all. In Gan Luo's eyes, it seemed that anyone who disobeyed him...

Sometimes it's hard to tell what kind of person Gan Luo really is just from his words, but he's not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the outside world claims.

Gan Luo also had his own thoughts. He walked step by step towards the front, and at this moment he saw Gan Yanling. Gan Yanling saw Gan Luo and was startled in an instant. Why didn't he have someone announce his arrival at the palace?

"Your Majesty, why didn't you come to see me when you entered the palace, or did you not send anyone to inform me? If you had informed me, I could have come to see you in person, and there would have been no need for..."

"It doesn't matter whether I come to see you or you come to see me, it's all the same, isn't it?"

Gan Luo then turned his gaze to Xu Jiu. When Xu Jiu saw Gan Luo, his heart skipped a beat. Then, Xu Jiu turned his gaze to the girl next to Gan Luo and thought that the girl was also very beautiful.

Xu Jiu also saw it in that instant. He never expected that there would be such a woman in this world. Sure enough, there are many beauties in the Central Plains. Seeing that Gan Yanling kept his eyes on Hua Yu, Xu Jiu felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Xu Jiu didn't say much, after all, he understood that emperors throughout history had many concubines, whether it was his father or the emperor in front of him.

Hua Yu naturally noticed their gazes. Her mind was filled with many thoughts, but she didn't want to get involved in the palace's conflicts.

More importantly, Hua Yu's life is also finite, and she doesn't want to spend these last few days in the palace.

Inside, the red walls and green tiles looked so tall that it would be difficult to get out. As for Hua Yu, she was used to freedom.

Hua Yu also sensed that this princess from the neighboring country didn't seem very easy to get along with, so she had to be careful in the future.

"Sister Wang, where did this young lady next to you come from? I have never seen such a young lady in your residence before."

Seeing the glimmer of light in the male protagonist's eyes, Gan Luo was filled with disappointment. Gan Luo never expected that this person would ask about Hua Yu's affairs again. How could Gan Luo let Hua Yu stay in the palace?

"I met this person by chance on the road. I felt sorry for her, so I brought her into the manor. I want to arrange for her to work as a servant in the manor."

Gan Yanling was about to say something, but your words suppressed all his thoughts. At this moment, Gan Yanling kept glancing at Hua Yu.

Hua Yu sensed that the emperor had some affection for him, but Hua Yu did not want to have any interaction with him.

After that, Hua Yu made a decision. "Your Majesty may not know, but I have always..."

As she was talking, she started coughing. Gan Luo, seeing this, was very worried. He looked at Hua Yu, who winked at him. Gan Luo realized that Hua Yu was just acting.

Then came some unpleasant words, naturally concerning his own health. After speaking, Gan Yanling gave him a disdainful look, which Gan Luo noticed clearly, and Gan Luo was extremely angry.

After all, they had no idea what Hua Yu had done, and could only guess at it from the sidelines.

At this moment, Hua Yu used her peripheral vision to tell Gan Luo not to worry too much.

"If what you're saying is true, what is your purpose in staying by the princess's side?"

Hua Yu then told the king that they were there to repay Gan Luo's kindness, and fabricated a story.

After listening, Gan Luo couldn't help but praise Hua Yu's acting skills, saying they were truly excellent.

Hearing this, Gan Yanling felt a sense of panic. He had never imagined that Hua Yu had such symptoms, which were likely contagious. At this moment, Gan Yanling decided to have Hua Yu captured.

Unexpectedly, Gan Luo walked directly up to Hua Yu. "This is my person, Your Majesty. Are you planning to arrest my person now?"
