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

Chapter 294: Doubts

"There is something else I want to tell you. I hope you can do something for me in the next few days."

"Your Highness, if there's anything you'd like me to do, just tell me. As long as it's something I can do well, I'll definitely do it for you."

Gan Luo then turned his attention to Lin Ruohua. "Actually, I want you to keep a close watch on Prime Minister Xu these next few days."

Shangguan Mufeng went directly to Gan Luo. When Gan Luo saw Shangguan Mufeng, she was a little puzzled, as this was not the purpose of Shangguan Mufeng's visit. "Your Highness, there is something I want to tell you."

Gan Luo was momentarily confused upon hearing Shangguan Mufeng's words, wondering what Shangguan Mufeng intended to say.

"Last night I discovered that there seemed to be people around the Shangguan residence. I don't know exactly who they are, but what I do know is that these people have been scouting around the Shangguan residence."

Gan Luo then turned his gaze to Shangguan Mufeng. "You've told me about this matter now, is it because you want me to help you in some way? If you want me to help you in any way, you can just say so. I will definitely help you in any way I can."

Finally, Shangguan Mufeng told Gan Luo that he had a feeling their purpose was to carry out a huge conspiracy, but he didn't know exactly what their conspiracy was.

Gan Luo never expected that they would still have this conspiracy in the present day. Then, Gan Luo reached out and gently patted Shangguan Mufeng's shoulder.

"I will definitely tell Gan Yanling about this matter, you can rest assured about that."

"By the way, Your Highness, there's something else... regarding the matter between Lan Yan and me..."

Finally, Shangguan Mufeng told Gan Luo that it would be the day after tomorrow.

Gan Luo was filled with questions. He hadn't expected it to happen so quickly. It really shocked him. Wasn't it supposed to be a few days away? How could it be so fast now?

Because Gan Luo encountered assassins, and more importantly, Gan Luo was injured, the trip to Jiangnan was postponed once again. As for when the trip would take place, Gan Yanling told them that perhaps it wouldn't be necessary to go to Jiangnan this year.

Meanwhile, Gan Yanling was in the palace, and the ministers around him were saying to him, "Your Majesty, if we really don't go to Jiangnan now, I think everyone will have a lot of complaints about us."

Gan Yanling then told them that he had taken 300,000 taels of imperial gold from the treasury and distributed it to these people.

"Now that Her Highness is so seriously injured, do you still want her to go? The journey is bumpy, and what if Her Highness's old injuries flare up and she dies on the way? Tell Zhengzheng how he should prove that his elder sister is his only family in this world. If his elder sister leaves me, what will I do next?"

The officials around him were speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer Gan Yanling.

They all felt that what Gan Yanling said made a lot of sense and that it was indeed the case.

"Your Majesty, we know why we did not consider this matter thoroughly. We hope Your Majesty will not be angry, as it would be bad for your health if you were upset."

How could Gan Yanling not want someone to go to Jiangnan? But after careful consideration, he realized that the only person he could truly trust in the court was Prime Minister Xu. The other officials were not of particularly high status.

How could he possibly send these people down to the south of the Yangtze River? More importantly, if they all went down to the south of the Yangtze River, they would be laughed at. So he had to avoid such a thing from happening.

Gan Yanling has now cancelled his trip to Jiangnan, and more importantly, the trip would have taken a month.

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. I have a plan now, and I plan to have these people build a new water conservancy project for me. What do you all think?"

They didn't know why Gan Yanling wanted to build water conservancy projects, so they turned their attention to him, hoping he could give a suitable reason. Gan Yanling then analyzed the pros and cons for them without hesitation.

"Recently, I received a memorial."

For Gan Yanling, he hoped to become a very diligent and honest ruler, and to be remembered for all time.

Gan Yanling learned that the area was short of water. Since the area was short of water, Gan Yanling had to find a way to solve the water problem, as everyone trusted him greatly.

If Gan Yanling didn't do this, they would all be disappointed in him. Gan Yanling didn't want them to be disappointed; instead, he wanted them to be happy and joyful.

"Regarding this matter, we have an idea. Does Your Majesty know about traveling incognito? Since Your Majesty took office, it seems that you have never traveled incognito. Why don't you go on an incognito trip today?"

Gan Yanling thought this was feasible, because he felt that he had indeed been the emperor for a long time, but during this time he had always stayed in the palace and had not gone to other places.

For Gan Yanling, he wanted to take a walk, but there was something even more important to him: he wanted the common people of the countryside to take a good look at him.

Moreover, a good ruler is certainly loved by the people. More importantly, if a ruler is liked by the people, then that ruler is naturally successful. But if the people do not like him, it only proves that this ruler is not good enough...

In the end, Gan Yanling had already ordered a sedan chair to be prepared so that he could go to the countryside to take a look. Afterwards, Gan Yanling even disguised himself.

The eunuch was somewhat surprised at that moment when he saw Gan Yanling's actions.
