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

Chapter 137: Explanation

"Father, are you really willing to hand this over to the princess of the neighboring country?"

Xu Jinxin truly couldn't understand how something so precious to her father could end up in the hands of others. She felt resentful for her father.

Have you forgotten everything your father taught you?

Xu Jinxin was at a loss when she heard what her father said. How could she forget what her father had taught her?

"Since you haven't forgotten even now, then your father only wants to tell you one thing: don't be so foolish in the future."

"Your daughter will heed your teachings."

As it grew darker, the Prime Minister ordered the items to be packed up, and then left for the post station.

When the Prime Minister left the Prime Minister's residence, he was already followed by a group of people.

This man was Xin Ruyu's man. Xin Ruyu was following the Prime Minister when the Prime Minister arrived at the post station.

At this time, the princess of the neighboring country was throwing a tantrum because of the emperor.

Even when they met the prime minister, they naturally did not bow to him, and the envoys from the neighboring countries around them were extremely annoyed.

They were all very curious as to why the prime minister had come here.

"I wonder if Your Highness is interested in this luminous pearl?"

The princess from the neighboring country suddenly heard what the prime minister said, looked up and glanced at him. The prime minister saw the luminous pearl in his hand.

In that instant, everything came together, and his anger subsided. He stood up and walked to the Prime Minister.

Sure enough, the prime minister's favorite thing was jewelry.

"I have met Your Highness many times. This is a gift I brought for you; I hope Your Highness will accept it with pleasure."

"Your country's king is incompetent, but you, as prime minister, are quite capable. I, the princess, like you."

The princess from the neighboring country picked up the luminous pearl and began to play with it, while the envoy from the neighboring country could only feel helpless at this moment.

They hurriedly explained, hoping the prime minister wouldn't misunderstand anything, as a misunderstanding would definitely affect the relationship between the two countries.

After witnessing this scene and hearing their conversation, Xin Ruyu's people returned to the Prince Yu's residence and informed Xin Ruyu of the matter.

"Your Highness, what do you think is the Prime Minister's intention in doing this? Why is the Prime Minister trying to curry favor with a princess?"

Xin Ruyu snapped her folding fan shut. "This prime minister is quite clever; I never expected him to be trying to curry favor with this princess now."

When he said that, the person next to him looked completely puzzled.

They had no idea what Xin Ruyu meant.

Do you know why the princess from the neighboring country came here?

"A marriage alliance?"

"You're not stupid; you know that this princess's purpose in coming here is to marry a foreign ruler. Since she's a princess, she has a very high chance of becoming a woman in the emperor's harem."

I had heard years ago that the princess of this neighboring country was also a first-class beauty. What man in this world doesn't love a beautiful woman?

With no one else in the emperor's harem, if this princess from the neighboring country were to enter the palace, she might become empress, or at least a concubine, and would certainly be able to speak to the emperor.

It has to be said that the Prime Minister made a really good move, and he deserves to be praised for it.

As expected, experience counts; such shrewdness and cunning.

"Is Your Highness aware of this matter?"

Xin Ruyu asked the person beside her, who told her that Princess Xin Ruyu probably didn't know that she didn't see Lin Fengmian or the other people at the time.

This shows that Gan Luo was unaware of this matter.

"Go and find a way to get this little note I have into the princess's residence."

After the guard took the small note from Xin Ruyu's hand, he put it away.

In a short while, the guards arrived at the princess's residence. They were surprised to find so many people there, who had been patrolling the area.

If you want to get in, it will probably be difficult.

Since that's the case, you can only go all out. Take the bow and arrow from the guard and shoot it at the pillar.

“There’s an assassin!”

The guards shouted loudly.

Yuan Zheng happened to arrive at this place, overheard their conversation, and looked around, only to see arrows scattered about.

There was even a note on the document, and a few words were visible on it. These words were: "The Prime Minister is at the post station."

"Search this place thoroughly. If you find anyone suspicious, arrest them immediately and bring them to Her Highness the Princess."

After that, Yuan Zheng left the place and came to Gan Luo's side.

"Your Highness! I received this outside. Please take a look."

Gan Luo heard what Yuan Zheng said, took the note, and immediately saw the words on it.

"Have you caught them yet?"

Yuan Zheng told Gan Luo that they hadn't caught anyone, and Gan Luo's face darkened.

Gan Luo didn't know this person's purpose, but what was the reason for the prime minister's presence at the post station? And even more important was whether this matter was true or false.

"Your Highness, would you like me to send someone to investigate?"

"No, I will go myself."

Yuan Zheng was startled at that moment. He immediately dispatched some guards to follow Gan Luo, and Lin Fengmian was also by Gan Luo's side.

Meanwhile, the prime minister was chatting with the princess from the neighboring country, and the two seemed to be getting along quite well.

However, Gan Luo did not intend to continue on this journey, which surprised Yuan Zheng.

"Send someone to check first, to see if the prime minister is indeed at the location of the princess from the neighboring country."

Gan Luo now only wants to confirm whether this matter is true or false.

If this matter is false, then Gan Luo's trip there would only lead to a misunderstanding.

For Gan Luo, as the eldest princess, to go in this manner is ultimately somewhat inappropriate.

Lin Fengmian volunteered, saying, "Your Highness, please go and exchange it during the summer vacation. Please wait here for a moment."

Indeed, Lin Fengmian's ability to gather intelligence was stronger than that of others, a sentiment shared by many, including Gan Luo.

After that, Lin Fengmian was sent there.

Lin Fengmian arrived here, only to find that the Prime Minister was actually planning to leave.

After careful consideration, Lin Fengmian concluded that if Gan Luo were to go here, he would likely miss this prime minister.
