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

Chapter 177: Taking Action

The next day, Gan Luo got up early.

At this moment, Gan Luo had Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo help him with his hair and makeup.

Gan Luo now plans to go to the Prime Minister's residence, and will first test the Prime Minister and then test Xin Ruyu. She wants to see what kind of tricks these two are up to, and if they really want to deal with Xu Jiu.

It seems that Gan Luo has to take action. Gan Luo cannot allow Xu Jiu to get into trouble. After all, if Shangguan Mufeng liked someone else, Gan Luo might not have bothered. But Xu Jiu is different from others. Moreover, if something happens to Xu Jiu, there will definitely be a conflict between the two countries. And if the conflict cannot be resolved, the consequences are obvious.

Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo were surprised by Gan Luo's actions. They never expected that Gan Luo would ask them to dress him up as soon as he woke up. However, Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo did as Gan Luo asked.

"Your Highness, do you look like you're going out?"

Gan Luo nodded, confirming that he was indeed about to leave.

Gan Yanling was unwell today, so the court assembly was cancelled. Afterwards, Gan Luo came to the Prime Minister's residence. The Prime Minister was about to leave when he unexpectedly saw Gan Luo's sedan chair the moment he opened the door.

He was stunned in that instant, never expecting Gan Luo to come here, nor knowing Gan Luo's purpose in coming here.

After some careful consideration, he turned his attention to Gan Luo.

"I wonder what brings Your Highness here today?"

He was truly exceptional. Wanting to know Gan Luo's purpose in coming here, Gan Luo glanced at the Prime Minister.

"I only wanted to see the Prime Minister. Besides, my cousin visited me recently, so it's only right that I come and see you both again, isn't it?"

Has Xu Jinxin gone to see Gan Luo? This truly surprised even the Prime Minister. He wondered what her purpose was in going to see Gan Luo. At this moment, the Prime Minister felt a little flustered.

It seems that once Gan Luo leaves, he must go and see Xu Jinxin to ask her why she did this. Why did Xu Jinxin go to see Gan Luo for no reason? When did she go to see Gan Luo? How come he knows nothing about this?

The atmosphere around them suddenly became a little strange, and Gan Luo turned his attention to the Prime Minister, who hurriedly made a gesture of invitation.

Gan Luo had been standing there for so long, but the Prime Minister had not invited him in. This was somewhat inappropriate in terms of both manner and reason. So the Prime Minister invited Gan Luo in. As soon as they entered the hall, Gan Luo brought the gifts he had given him.

“Your Highness, you’ve come all this way, why bring all these things? It’s really too much of a courtesy.”

Unexpectedly, Gan Luo told the person in front of him that it was not a matter of being polite or not, but simply a matter of giving and receiving in accordance with etiquette. Then Gan Luo decided to try to trick him here.

Lin Fengmian silently stayed in front of Gan Luo. Lin Fengmian understood what Gan Luo wanted to do and naturally supported him. In fact, if he could, Lin Fengmian would like to interrogate him directly here.

"I wonder if the Prime Minister is aware of the princess's recent assassination attempt."

"Has Her Highness been attacked recently? Has Her Highness been injured?"

The prime minister, looking anxious, scrutinized Gan Luo. Gan Luo, seeing this, felt for a moment that the prime minister's question seemed a bit off. It must be said that the prime minister's acting skills were quite good.

"Of course it wasn't me, but the princess of the neighboring country who resides in my residence. This princess of the neighboring country was recently attacked by assassins. I wonder who the Prime Minister thinks is responsible, since people have been searching for the assassins for three or four days, but in the end they still haven't found them."

Upon hearing Gan Luo's question, the Prime Minister was momentarily at a loss for words. He had a feeling that Gan Luo knew something, and now he seemed to have come to interrogate him. Fine beads of sweat appeared on the Prime Minister's forehead, but he knew he couldn't show it too much…

Otherwise, it would backfire, and the Prime Minister naturally told Gan Luo everything seriously. "I also sent people to investigate, but I don't know who it is."

Gan Luo's eyes gleamed as he looked the Prime Minister up and down, and he couldn't help but tease him. "I didn't expect the Prime Minister to have already sent people to investigate. It's quite surprising, I thought the Prime Minister was indifferent to such matters."

Gan Luo had barely finished speaking when the prime minister analyzed the advantages and disadvantages.

More importantly, Gan Luo, listening to the prime minister's analysis, felt that what the prime minister said made a lot of sense.

"I find the Prime Minister's analysis to be very reasonable, and I agree with it quite a bit. However, I would like to ask the Prime Minister why you believe that it was people from the neighboring country who sent the assassination of the princess, since this princess is quite pampered in the neighboring country."

Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister would tell Gan Luo that there was no such thing as brotherhood among members of the royal family. This remark made Gan Luo's heart skip a beat.

The prime minister seemed to realize something and hurriedly changed his tune.

Gan Luo shook his head at the Prime Minister's expression, indicating that it was alright. Then Gan Luo asked the Prime Minister what kind of friendship he felt between him and Gan Yanling.

"The Princess and His Majesty are actually bound by blood, after all, isn't the Princess His Majesty's only direct descendant in this world?"

It must be said that this Prime Minister is truly eloquent and has quite the silver tongue: "I have decided to entrust the task of finding the assassin to the Prime Minister. I wonder if the Prime Minister will agree."

The Prime Minister never expected that Gan Luo would entrust him with the task of finding the assassin. At this moment, the Prime Minister was a little flustered. Where in the world could he possibly find the assassin? If he couldn't find the assassin, would he be punished? After all, he was Gan Luo's uncle.

"Judging from your appearance, does it mean you are unwilling to take on this task? If so, then I will hand it over to someone else."

"Your Highness, it's just that I feel I'm not capable of handling this matter."

The prime minister said with some guilt.
