Chapter 39: Treating Others as They Treat Us
After observing for a while, this person seemed to think that the time was about right.
They left immediately afterward.
Gan Luo heard a sound and knew that the person in secret had already left.
If I'm not mistaken, this person was probably sent by her brother.
Indeed, the mind of a ruler is hard to fathom.
Gan Luo clearly had no interest in the throne, so why is it that people now suspect him of plotting a rebellion?
They were always on guard against Gan Luo here.
Her younger brother, sooner or later, will do the same thing and get himself killed.
They were born of the same mother, yet now they are suspicious of each other.
Gan Luo was naturally somewhat upset.
"That's all."
Upon seeing Zhao Wuji, Gan Luo was unwilling to acknowledge him.
"From now on, do not have any further contact with the two of us. I do not want to see you."
Besides, didn't her cousin like Zhao Wuji? And Zhao Wuji also liked his cousin. Now that Gan Luo has given Zhao Wuji his freedom, shouldn't the two of them be grateful?
"Your Highness, are you really unwilling to give me another chance?"
Lin Fengmian looked around and saw only Gan Luo chatting with Zhao Wuji.
Lin Fengmian was naturally displeased.
"Her Highness the Princess just said not to let you continue to bother her. How can you be so shameless? If you continue to get close to Her Highness the Princess, don't blame me for being impolite."
Lin Fengmian swiftly drew his sword.
"You dare point a sword at me? Do you know I am the son of the Grand Tutor?"
Zhao Wuji stared at Lin Fengmian in disbelief.
Do you know where I come from?
Lin Fengmian had long disliked Zhao Wuji, and now that he had a great opportunity to confront him, how could he possibly waste it?
Seeing Lin Fengmian's current appearance, Gan Luo found it increasingly amusing.
It's surprising that one of his little guards is now protecting her.
"I am a shadow guard, and I only obey Her Highness's orders from beginning to end. I do not listen to anyone else except Her Highness."
The meaning is quite obvious.
Even if the emperor came here, he would not obey.
Xin Ruyu saw the three of them chatting and walked up to them thoughtfully.
"I was quite bored eating grapes over there and wanted to chat with the princess and her companion, but I never expected to find her here."
He glanced down at Zhao Wuji, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Zhao Wuji is truly despicable these days.
"I was just taking a stroll around when I had nothing else to do."
"I see. I would like to take a good stroll around Kyoto tomorrow. I wonder if the princess would do me the honor of showing me around Kyoto?"
Upon hearing this, Gan Luo recalled the day in the imperial court.
She had already promised this prince that she would show him around the capital. If she went back on her word, wouldn't that be breaking her promise?
"If Your Highness wishes to stroll around the capital, I will naturally accompany you."
Gan Luo returned to her seat, but unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a caterpillar beside her out of the corner of her eye.
Gan Luo glanced at Xu Jinxin and, through his mind-reading ability, knew that this was all arranged by Xu Jinxin.
"Ha, to think you can make a fool of her nowadays is wishful thinking!"
Gan Luo was known for his vengeful nature.
Since Xu Jinxin is so ungrateful, then don't blame Gan Luo for being impolite.
Gan Luo placed the caterpillar on his folding fan and walked up to Xu Jinxin.
Xu Jinxin had no idea why Gan Luo had come to her.
Another important thing is that the caterpillar on Gan Luo's seat is no longer there.
Why isn't Gan Luo screaming now?
"Cousin, what brings you here?"
Xu Jinxin felt a little guilty.
Gan Luo opened his folding fan and a caterpillar, by sheer coincidence, landed on Xu Jinxin's shoe.
Xu Jinxin hadn't reacted yet, but her maid had.
"Miss, there's a caterpillar on your foot..."
When Xu Jinxin heard this, she looked down and was surprised to find that there really was a caterpillar. She screamed in fright.
"Pfft."
Suddenly, a burst of laughter rang out, and Xu Jinxin turned her gaze to Gan Luo.
I never expected this person to be laughing here.
Naturally, they were all extremely angry.
"Someone come quick, open it for me!"
The young men around them all turned their attention to Xu Jinxin.
Xu Jinxin felt a burning gaze, and her face instantly stung.
She felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Gentlemen, I am truly sorry to have made you laugh."
Xu Jinxin clearly remembered that she had her maid place this caterpillar next to Gan Luo's seat... how could it be here now...?
He looked up and saw Gan Luo's ambiguous smile.
In that instant, it dawned on me.
If I'm not mistaken, it was definitely Gan Luo who used the folding fan in her hand...
Gan Luo is truly despicable and shameless.
Upon realizing what Xu Jinxin was thinking, Gan Luo found it amusing.
It was clearly Xu Jinxin herself who placed the caterpillar next to her.
She was simply giving him a taste of his own medicine.
But now, Xu Jinxin has called him despicable and shameless.
On the other side, Gan Yanling stayed in the palace, quietly waiting for the people he had sent out to return.
In a flash, a man in black appeared kneeling beside Gan Yanling.
"Sixteen, how's your investigation going?"
"Your Majesty, everything is normal at the Prime Minister's residence."
He then explained the specific details to Gan Yanling.
Gan Yanling fell into deep thought, feeling that this prince was like a stubborn plaster.
Wherever Gan Luo was, that's where the prince was, which truly displeased Gan Yanling.
"And there's something even more important: the prince is going to tour the capital tomorrow, and it seems he wants the princess to accompany him."
This person must have a death wish.
"He actually dared to make my elder sister accompany him!"
Gan Yanling slammed his hand on the table, scattering teacups onto the floor nearby.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It would be inappropriate to harm your health if you became angry."
Gan Yanling continued to calm his emotions.
He felt he needed to have a serious talk with the Emperor.
The original plan was to travel to the Prime Minister's residence.
If even he goes, wouldn't the Prime Minister's residence be too lively?
"Continue to observe, and if anything seems amiss, be sure to return and report to me immediately."
What Gan Yanling was actually afraid of was that her elder sister would give in under Xin Ruyu's constant attacks.
If the two were to marry, it would pose a tremendous threat to the stability of the nation.
Although this Prince Yu looks like a spoiled brat, he is still putting on an act to deceive others.
As a monarch, he would never allow such things to happen.
One must be careful and cautious when sitting in such a high position.
If we're not careful, we might wake up one day to find that the throne has already been taken from us.
