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

Chapter 135: Injured

"Your Highness, my arm was injured by Her Highness the Princess."

? ?

There were several large question marks above Xin Ruyu's head.

"You just went to the princess's residence, and the princess injured you? Did the princess discover your existence?"

Upon hearing Xin Ruyu's words, the assassin nodded slightly, indicating that he had only been staying in the attic when Gan Luo discovered him.

A leaf flew towards Gan Luo, and because he couldn't react in time, he was successfully injured by the leaf.

For some reason, the assassin felt a little aggrieved at that moment.

Xin Ruyu saw this and patted the assassin on the shoulder, telling him that some things cannot be rushed and must be done slowly.

"Let me give you a heads-up: you must drug Lin Fengmian when he's not paying attention. Besides, this drug is colorless and odorless even if you put it in the water. Can't you just go to Lin Fengmian's room?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the assassins suddenly realized that they hadn't thought of this before, but now that Xin Ruyu had reminded them, they remembered.

"This poison is colorless and odorless; even if you were to ingest it now, you wouldn't be able to detect it."

Moreover, this poison slowly invades the internal organs.

Inside the princess's residence, Gan Luo sensed someone outside and immediately went to Yuan Zheng. Yuan Zheng arrived in front of Gan Luo, knelt down with a thud, and respectfully inquired about Gan Luo's whereabouts.

"Your Highness, you...?"

Before Yuan Zheng could finish speaking, Gan Luo immediately told him to go back inside and gather the guards from the princess's residence.

"During this time, you will diligently patrol the area surrounding the Princess's residence. If you encounter anyone unusual, arrest them and bring them before me."

Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, he naturally understood that someone had definitely come to the princess's residence.

Yuan Zheng was particularly curious about who had the audacity to come to the princess's residence and cause trouble. Could it be that he had lived too long in the past?

Lin Fengmian walked in from outside, carrying the pastries that Gan Luo had asked for. Gan Luo glanced at the pastries in Lin Fengmian's hand and asked Lin Fengmian to place them beside him.

"I am particularly interested to know whether any envoys from the neighboring country attended today's court assembly."

Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Yuan Zheng pondered for a moment and then told Gan Luo that it seemed the envoy from the neighboring country had not attended today's court assembly.

Gan Luo frowned, looked up at the sky, and pondered for a moment.

According to the timeline, the envoy from the neighboring country should have arrived here by now, so why has he not yet come to pay his respects?

"I don't know why, but for a moment I felt that there was something fishy going on."

"It's not just Her Highness who thinks this way; even I share the same opinion. Should I send someone to investigate this matter secretly?"

These words were spoken by Yuan Zheng.

As luck would have it, Lin Muxuan happened to be passing by and told Gan Luo that he wanted to go back and see his father.

"Are you going back to see the governor now? Why?"

"I received news from home today that my father has fallen ill due to overwork. I am somewhat worried and wish to return to visit him. I hope Your Highness will grant me permission."

The governor's illness truly surprised Gan Luo.

After all, the governor had always been in very good health, so why was he sick now? Gan Luo suddenly remembered that there was a divine physician in the Shadow Pavilion.

"Ruohua, go to the Shadow Pavilion and invite the divine physician to me. Then, have Young Master Lin take the divine physician back."

Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Lin Ruohua fell into deep thought. In truth, Lin Ruohua did not want to return to the Shadow Pavilion at all, because she would have to see her there.

Lin Fengmian understood Gan Luo's thoughts, but he couldn't help but wonder why Gan Luo was so kind-hearted.

It's unclear when it started, but Gan Luo seems to have changed; he's no longer as ferocious as before.

Gan Luo, on the other hand, remained calm and composed, for reasons unknown.

Gan Luo saw through Lin Fengmian's thoughts and couldn't help but ponder them for a while. It seemed that he had indeed changed, and the reason for the change seemed to be due to his past life.

If I continue to be as reckless as I was in my previous life, I'll probably end up with the same fate in this life.

Heaven gave Gan Luo a second chance at rebirth, so how could he possibly waste it?

"Does Ruohua not want to go?"

Yuan Zheng intended to step forward and replace Lin Ruohua, but Lin Fengmian glanced at him and Yuan Zheng said no more. Lin Ruohua gritted her teeth in the end.

"If I am willing to go to the Shadow Pavilion, I will bring this divine physician back as quickly as possible."

A gust of wind brushed against Gan Luo's face, and Gan Luo looked Lin Ruohua up and down.

After Lin Ruohua left, Gan Luo muttered to himself.

"There are some things she will eventually have to face."

Some people didn't understand what Gan Luo meant, but Lin Fengmian did, and he responded to Gan Luo.

"I'm sure Miss Lin will understand."

Gan Luo couldn't help but tease Lin Fengmian.

"You're becoming more and more adept at responding to my words."

After turning his head to take another look, Lin Muxuan told Lin Muxuan to go back first.

"Once the divine physician arrives at my palace, he will come to see you. You can then take him home."

After all, Lin Muxuan was a member of the Princess's household, and Gan Luo did this so that the world could see how much he valued the Governor.

"Your Highness, I am somewhat confused as to why you want Miss Lin to return to the Shadow Pavilion. Is there a connection between Miss Lin and the Shadow Pavilion Master?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Gan Luo looked up at Yuan Zheng and made a shushing gesture.

"You will learn these things later, but I don't want to explain them too much right now."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zheng realized that he had asked too many questions, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"I know I was wrong, and I will not ask any more questions in the future."

"It's alright, you just need to do what I just told you well."

"Your Highness, please rest assured, I will certainly handle these matters well. Your Highness, please don't worry."

During this period, it seems that someone wanted to harm the princess's residence; otherwise, why would Gan Luo have asked him to increase the manpower?

"Guard Lin, do you think the envoy from the neighboring country has arrived here yet?"

Gan Luo looked up and asked Lin Fengmian. When Lin Fengmian heard this, he fell into deep thought, not knowing how to answer Gan Luo.
