Chapter 318: Stubborn to the end
Chapter 318: Stubborn to the end
"Don't worry, I know what to do, you don't need to worry too much."
Gan Luo decided to have a contest with General Su here, but unexpectedly, Gan Luo's strength was still higher than General Su's in the end.
"Her Highness's abilities are indeed extraordinary."
They were all praising Gan Luo, and Gan Luo was naturally overjoyed to be praised like this.
Lin Fengmian happened to arrive here.
"By the way, there's something I'd like to ask you, Your Highness. Would you be interested in..."
Gan Luo told General Su without hesitation that Lin Fengmian was her personal bodyguard.
Lin Fengmian was her personal bodyguard, so Lin Fengmian would definitely only stay by Gan Luo's side. Gan Luo would never let him go anywhere else, such as coming here and becoming a member of the National Protection Army. That was absolutely impossible.
"I never expected that Her Highness the Princess knew what I was going to say."
These things were just minor matters to Gan Luo.
Gan Luo then turned his attention to Lin Fengmian.
At this time, Gan Luo arrived at the newly built water conservancy site, only to find that some people were actually slacking off here.
Gan Luo had never expected that they would be slacking off here. Gan Luo's expression changed, and the people around him felt it too. The atmosphere here was very tense, and they were all quite confused at that moment.
None of them had any idea what was going on, but when they turned around, they saw Gan Luo, and they were all startled.
"Your Highness, why have you come here?"
"I would like to ask you, what exactly are you doing lying on the ground like this?"
The leader immediately stood up and told Gan Luo.
"Your Highness, you may not know this, but the stones here are too big. We simply cannot move them. We have been moving them for several hours now, and we are feeling a bit tired, so we are resting here for a while."
It turns out they were resting here because they were tired from carrying things; it seems Gan Luo wronged them.
Gan Luo, wanting to be considerate of these people, came up with a solution.
"You all go find some cooks and bring them here, and have them cook some dishes to treat these people well."
Gan Luo's actions certainly won the hearts of the people, and the surrounding common folk were all grateful. In the past, they really thought Gan Luo was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but now they didn't think so anymore.
"I really don't know why I thought Her Highness was a very cold person back then, even though Her Highness is not a cold person at all."
One of the men, a young man in his twenties dressed in tattered clothes, was speaking earnestly here.
Finally, Gan Luo even went to his own fabric shop to make some clothes for everyone.
Gan Luo then turned his attention to them and indicated that if they were tired or hungry, they could eat their food there.
The officials of the imperial court had naturally arrived at this place, and when they saw Gan Luo's actions, they found it unbelievable.
None of them had ever imagined that Gan Luo would be doing such a thing here today.
"Your Highness, why would you..."
When Gan Luo heard them say this, he simply told them, "Have any of you ever heard of showing compassion for the people?"
These officials were actually feeling somewhat ashamed of themselves, and they all stood there with their heads down.
"I entrust these matters to you. If there is any discrepancy in this matter, I will hold you accountable."
Because Gan Luo got involved in this matter, the vast majority of officials were in a state of great dissatisfaction.
Some officials have already come to the palace and have discussed the matter with the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I truly cannot understand why Her Highness would get involved in this matter. As a woman, Her Highness should not be involved in such things, yet she has done so anyway. I hope Your Majesty can warn Her Highness."
After one official said this, another official immediately expressed that he shared the same opinion.
They all gathered here and impeached Gan Luo.
When Gan Luo learned of what they had done, he found it somewhat laughable for a moment.
Gan Luo had already arrived at the palace, where he confronted them. "I want to ask you something," he said, "have I done anything wrong?"
"Your Highness should not participate in court affairs. If Your Highness does participate in court affairs, it means that you want to become the emperor."
Gan Luo then told them that she had given the tiger tally in her possession to Gan Yanling.
Unexpectedly, these people continued to chatter on and on. Gan Luo felt a little annoyed listening to them, and at that moment, he drew a sword from his waist.
"Since you are all so ungrateful, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Gan Luo truly felt that these people's skin was thicker than a city wall. All Gan Luo had done was for the good of these people, yet they insisted on accusing her.
Gan Luo then pressed his sword against the necks of all the men without hesitation, and they were all so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. "Your Majesty, the princess is openly threatening me with a sword here. This is a crime!"
"I want to tell you something. In the entire country, apart from His Majesty, I am the one with the highest status."
"Your Majesty, they are veterans of two dynasties. What you are doing now is really going too far."
Upon hearing Gan Yanling defend these officials, Gan Luo became furious and threw the sword in her hand to the ground with a clang. "Since you all say so, then I will no longer concern myself with this matter."
Gan Luo then left, but even after she left, the officials continued to speak ill of her.
