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

Chapter 46: Gentle and Refined

"I have only recently taken in male concubines, yet the Emperor already knows about it. I must say, the Emperor is truly well-informed."

Gan Luo looked at Gan Yanling and said these words.

When Gan Yanling heard what Gan Luo said, he showed concern for Gan Luo.

"It's because I'm afraid my elder sister has made a mistake in choosing someone, so I want to personally check on her."

Gan Luo looked at Gan Yanling intently, and had to admit that his younger brother was quite something...

Since he's such a good actor, Gan Luo will naturally play along with Gan Yanling in a play.

"Then I thank Your Majesty for your concern."

"Young Master Shangguan has arrived."

The eunuch shouted a command.

Shangguan Mufeng was dressed in white, exuding an extraordinary aura. Although he appeared gentle and refined, he was also quite arrogant at heart.

The emperor couldn't help but glance at this scene a few more times.

It must be said that the eldest sister has a very good eye.

"Young Master Shangguan is indeed quite handsome; no wonder he is so well-liked by his elder sister."

Shangguan Mufeng respectfully bowed to Gan Yanling.

"Greetings to Your Majesty."

"There's no need to be so polite."

Shangguan Mufeng glanced at Gan Yanling out of the corner of his eye.

It is widely rumored that the emperor and Gan Luo had an excellent relationship.

But looking at it now, it all seems like just superficial friendship.

Although the emperor has come to visit him, in reality...

"Young Master Shangguan is the son of Shangguan Nantian."

Shangguan Mufeng nodded slightly: "Your Majesty, my father's name is indeed Shangguan Nantian."

"Don't worry, your father has already been promoted."

Shangguan Mufeng knelt down with a thud: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, in promoting my father."

"It's alright. I believe you have a limitless future, so you must work hard."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gan Luo took the initiative to walk up to Gan Yanling.

"On behalf of Shangguan Mufeng, I also thank Your Majesty."

For some reason, Shangguan Mufeng always felt that Gan Yanling was doing this on purpose.

He had just asked Shangguan Mufeng who his father was, and then mentioned promoting his father...

It was clearly a case of acting first and reporting later.

Upon hearing these words, Shangguan Mufeng was momentarily struck by Gan Yanling's deep cunning.

Although Gan Yanling appears to be a young emperor, his ability to ascend to the throne at such a young age is due not only to the assistance of Gan Luo, but also to his own capabilities.

"Elder sister, I recently received a set of coral as a tribute, and I have brought it with me. I wonder if you would be interested in taking a look?"

Gan Luo glanced at his younger brother, wondering why things had turned out this way...

If Gan Yanling had not suspected anything before, he would not have taken action against Gan Luo.

Perhaps Gan Luo's attitude towards Gan Yanling will be different again.

"Then bring this set of coral over for me to see."

Gan Yanling clapped his hands, and the servants behind him came over with red and green corals.

Upon closer inspection, I must say that the coral was quite unattractive.

"The emperor is quite thoughtful."

"If my elder sister likes it, I will think of you first whenever I find this item in the future."

Gan Luo smiled calmly: "Your Majesty need not think of me in everything. Your Majesty only needs to manage the country well."

The two chatted about everyday things.

Gan Yanling then left, saying that there were still memorials to review in the imperial study.

Looking in the direction Gan Yanling had gone, Gan Luo fell into deep thought.

Now that his younger brother has come to see Shangguan Mufeng, Gan Luo understands this perfectly well.

They just came to check things out.

I thought Shangguan Mufeng's abilities were the same as Lin Fengmian's.

However, Gan Luo was somewhat surprised that the emperor himself had come here.

"Your Highness, there is something I would like to ask you."

Gan Luo was very curious about what questions Shangguan Mufeng intended to ask.

"Your Highness, everyone says that your relationship with His Majesty is very harmonious, but now I feel..."

Even if Shangguan Mufeng didn't finish his sentence, Gan Luo knew what Shangguan Mufeng was going to say.

Gan Luo picked up his folding fan and gently tapped it on Shangguan Mufeng.

"Young Master Shangguan, I would like to remind you of something. Royal matters should not be discussed indiscriminately. Regardless of the relationship between me and His Majesty, it is a matter between me and His Majesty. If anything you say reaches the Emperor's ears, the consequence will be the extermination of your entire family."

Even Gan Luo couldn't save him.

"Thank you for reminding me, Your Highness. I understand."

However, Shangguan Mufeng has good observation skills, and it was only a brief chat.

Shangguan Mufeng was actually able to see through all of this.

Meanwhile, Zhao Wuji lost his appetite and naturally lost several pounds in the past few days.

This greatly worried the people serving him in the mansion.

"Young master, if you don't eat soon, the master will definitely punish me later."

"Tell the master that it's my fault for not wanting to eat it, it has nothing to do with you."

At this time, the Grand Tutor naturally returned to his residence.

Knowing that Zhao Wuji hadn't eaten, they went directly to find him.

"Wuji, why haven't you eaten again? What kind of trouble are you up to?"

Zhao Wuji then dispatched the people around him.

"Dad, there must be a reason why your son isn't eating."

"Do you realize that what you're doing now is risking your life..."

"My son did this simply to regain the princess's favor."

The Grand Tutor heard that Zhao Wuji's aim was to regain Gan Luo's favor.

In that instant, he stared at Zhao Wuji in disbelief.

"Why would you want to win the princess's favor when everything is going so well..."

"Because my son now wants to become the princess's husband."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor was truly shocked by Zhao Wuji's words.

They never expected Zhao Wuji to have such thoughts now.

"Because I understand the importance of power, Dad, you don't need to worry too much about this matter. Your son has his own ideas."

However, the Grand Tutor felt quite distressed when he saw that Zhao Wuji wasn't eating.

"No matter what, we still have to eat this meal, at least a little bit."

"Don't worry, your son knows."

Zhao Wuji then ate a little bit here.

Three days passed, and the news that the Grand Tutor's son had fallen ill spread throughout the capital.

"Your Highness, have you heard? The tutor's son is ill."

Yuan Zheng couldn't help but tell Gan Luo about it.

When Gan Luo heard that the Grand Tutor's son was ill, he paused.

Then, he said expressionlessly.

"What does his illness have to do with me?"

In the past few days, Yuan Zheng had assumed that Gan Luo still harbored feelings for Zhao Wuji.

However, it seems that Gan Luo has completely forgotten about Zhao Wuji.

"Why are you bringing up Zhao Wuji all of a sudden?"

"I only overheard some rumors outside... and wanted to see Your Highness's attitude."

As the commander of the guards in the princess's residence, he was naturally wholeheartedly devoted to the princess's residence.
