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

Chapter 214: Turning Against Each Other

"Do you know what the consequences will be after you do this? You might not be able to kill the Prime Minister, and you might even lose your own life. Do you think it's worth it? Besides, you haven't even investigated the matter of your adoptive parents. Why don't you find all your enemies and take revenge together?"

At this moment, Gan Luo suddenly felt as if he were a mediator. Gan Luo remembered that in the past, his reputation was that of a ruthless killer.

But now, Gan Luo was here trying to persuade people, which seemed a little ridiculous at that moment. Gan Luo looked up at Lin Ruohua, who was still very angry. Gan Luo drew his sword and held it to Lin Ruohua's neck.

"You should know that what I hate most is people who disobey my orders. If you dare to do something I didn't tell you to do without my knowledge, then I have no reason to keep you here."

Gan Luo had already drawn a trickle of blood from Lin Ruohua's neck. Hua Yu saw this and hurriedly went to Lin Ruohua's side, pleading with Gan Luo to show leniency.

She pulled the sword from her hand and shoved it back into its sheath with a clang. Gan Luo stared coldly at Lin Ruohua.

"I never need anyone who is not of benefit to me, and I hope you understand that."

Moreover, if Lin Ruohua were to go to the Prime Minister's residence, what would happen to the Prime Minister? The consequences would naturally fall on Gan Luo. How would Gan Luo explain this to the civil and military officials, and to the world?

Lin Fengmian walked up to Gan Luo, intending to report on his investigation, but unexpectedly witnessed the scene before him and realized that they had offended Gan Luo and angered him.

"Princess, please don't get angry here. It would be a shame if you hurt yourself later."

At this moment, Hua Yu, in a fit of anger, brought over a basin of water and poured it directly over Lin Ruohua's head, leaving her soaked to the bone. However, Lin Ruohua remained expressionless.

Finally, Lin Ruohua knelt on the ground with a thud and broke down in tears. Gan Luo ignored her and simply said, "My palace has no need for the weak or the irrational."

Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian then left the place. Lin Fengmian stayed silently to the side without saying a word. Once outside, Lin Fengmian told Gan Luo everything he had investigated.

"During my investigation just now, I discovered something very important: after Her Highness the Princess left the brothel that day, I didn't expect that the Prime Minister would also go to a brothel."

The brothel was closed the next day, and all the customers had left. Lin Fengmian had no idea where the brothel's owner had gone.

Gan Luo already had an idea in his mind: to get rid of this prime minister. After all, Zeng Xiang Liu was a troublemaker. Even if the prime minister was Gan Luo's uncle, so what? Anyone who was involved in the throne should die.

Even within the imperial court, they must be thoroughly eliminated. Gan Luo was well aware that the vast majority of people in the court were the prime minister's men.

Women are not allowed to interfere in politics. What if Gan Luo insisted on interfering in politics?

Gan Luo's eyes held a hint of ruthlessness. For some reason, Lin Fengmian seemed to see Gan Luo from a few years ago at that moment. It was the first time he had met Gan Luo, and Lin Fengmian had witnessed Gan Luo's ruthlessness.

At the Prime Minister's residence, a Grand Secretary from the Inner Cabinet came to pay his respects.

The Prime Minister was unaware of the purpose of the Grand Secretary's visit.

"You said this Grand Secretary of the Cabinet came to see me. What is his purpose in coming here? Have you asked him?"

The Prime Minister and Chen Pinxing were not actually very familiar with each other. Now that Chen Pinxing had come to this place and wanted to see the Prime Minister, it was quite puzzling for the Prime Minister. After thinking it over for a while, the Prime Minister had them invite Chen Pinxing in.

When Chen Pinxing arrived, he immediately bowed to the Prime Minister and was very polite.

"What is the purpose of your visit, Official Chen? Just say it directly. I don't like beating around the bush. Just say what you mean."

"Your Excellency is indeed a man of strong character. I never expected you to dislike beating around the bush. I have come here to propose marriage to you."

The Prime Minister was startled for a moment. Was this a joke? But upon closer inspection, he realized that Mei Yangyang was still a relatively young person.

"I am quite interested in the Prime Minister's daughter. I wonder if the Prime Minister would be willing to betroth his daughter to me? If he is, I will certainly do my best to help you."

The Prime Minister thought about it carefully. The person in front of him held a relatively high position in the court. If the two families were to marry, he could indeed become a powerful figure in the court.

But he only has one daughter. If his daughter is unhappy, wouldn't he be an incompetent father?

At this moment, the Prime Minister looked up and glanced at Chen Pinxing, who then told him, "Some things are not up to me. I want to see what Xin'er thinks. After all, you know that I only have this one child. If I forcibly arranged these things for her, she might hate me for the rest of her life."

This could be considered a tactful rejection of Chen Pinxing. After all, the Prime Minister wanted to see if there were better people to choose from, since his daughter deserved better people, didn't she?

If the prime minister were to become the emperor one day, wouldn't his daughter become a princess? Given her noble status, could she possibly choose a husband from among the officials of the court? Of course not.

"I originally thought I could win the heart of the beauty, but in the end I still ended up with nothing."

However, the prime minister did not want to lose such a capable assistant, so he used some rhetoric to deceive the official, who unexpectedly believed the prime minister's words.

This official successfully sided with the prime minister.

"Don't worry, I will definitely speak well of you to Xin'er. Maybe one day Xin'er will become interested in you."
