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

Chapter 167: Nighttime Infiltration of the Palace

When Gan Luo returned to the princess's residence, Lou Yan naturally rushed out to greet her. Lou Yan had a smile on his face, no longer as indifferent as before. This appearance surprised Gan Luo a little.

"If you don't want to smile, then I won't force you to smile."

At this moment, Lou Yan couldn't help but raise his long-standing question.

"Your Highness, I don't understand. As Your Highness's male concubine, why..."

Although Lou Yan hadn't finished speaking, Gan Luo understood what Lou Yan meant. As for Gan Luo, he didn't even like Lou Yan, so how could he possibly serve him in bed?

Moreover, Gan Luo might actually be more inclined towards Lin Fengmian in his heart. In this moment of brilliance, Gan Luo would...

It seems that ever since he was reborn and learned about Lin Fengmian's feelings for him, Gan Luo's attitude towards Lin Fengmian has changed somewhat.

He would often go and play around with Lin Fengmian, taking him sightseeing.

"I selected you to join the princess's residence after some testing. Although I like you, it doesn't mean I want you to have sex with me."

Upon hearing these words, Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo naturally chimed in, "Her Highness the Princess is of noble birth; how could people of your status possibly be worthy of her..."

Before the two girls could finish speaking, Gan Luo made a shushing gesture.

"Now that you have arrived at my princess residence, I will treat you well. I only want to tell you one thing: what I hate most in my life is being deceived. If you dare to lie to me and I find out about it, I will definitely let you experience what it means to be ruthless."

Lou Yan could clearly sense that the murderous intent in Gan Luo's eyes was indeed present when Gan Luo said those words.

At this moment, Lin Muxuan had already walked up to Gan Luo, knelt on one knee and bowed to Gan Luo. Gan Luo personally helped Lin Muxuan up.

"I remember you don't have a courtyard to live in yet. You'll be staying in Lin Muxuan's courtyard for now. Once I clear out a new courtyard for you, you'll be able to move in."

Lin Muxuan turned his head to look at Lou Yan, and was surprised by Lou Yan's stunning appearance in that instant.

If Lou Yan were a woman, she could make all the men in the world fall at her feet. After all, Lou Yan is very gentle, unlike Gan Luo.

Gan Luo possessed an untamed aura, which destined those who followed him to be extremely powerful individuals. Ordinary people like them would never have the chance to stand beside Gan Luo.

It is clearly a very fortunate thing that Gan Luo has taken a liking to them.

This is a rumor circulating among the people. Gan Luo has a fondness for handsome men, but for some reason, Lou Yan felt at that moment that everything Gan Luo did was just for the world to see.

Gan Luo always maintained his bottom line.

Meanwhile, Xin Ruyu returned to the Prince's Mansion and learned that Gan Luo had gone to the palace and met with Xu Jiu and the other person.

At this moment, Xin Ruyu decided to send someone to assassinate Xu Jiu, intending to frame Shangguan Mufeng for the incident.

Meanwhile, the Prime Minister also decided to assassinate Xu Jiu, but his idea differed from Xin Ruyu's. The Prime Minister planned to make the world believe that Gan Luo was the one who wanted to kill Xu Jiu, since Xu Jiu was also a princess.

Night fell, but for some reason, Gan Luo felt a sense of unease. She looked up at Lin Fengmian and asked, "Why do I feel that something is about to happen today?"

After saying this, Lin Fengmian told Gan Luo that the reason she felt a little tired was because too many things had happened these past few days, and that she shouldn't think too much about it. Then Lin Fengmian told Gan Luo, "If Your Highness feels tired, why don't you go inside and rest?"

Unexpectedly, Gan Luo became worried about Xu Jiu. Xu Jiu was all alone in the capital. More importantly, the envoy from the neighboring country seemed to have already returned, leaving Xu Jiu alone in Xuehua Palace. Even with palace maids serving him, what if someone wanted to...

"I will go to this room to change my clothes. Afterwards, you will follow me to sneak into the palace at night. The most important thing is that we must not be discovered."

At this moment, Lou Yan was behind Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian. Gan Luo noticed someone behind him, turned around and looked around, and unexpectedly saw Lou Yan.

Gan Luo did not intend to expose this person. Instead, he had Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo pretend to encounter him and take him back to where Lin Muxuan was.

Both Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo were clever and quick-witted. They understood Gan Luo's intentions and nodded without hesitation.

The two spotted Lou Yan as soon as they arrived outside. They exchanged glances, and Yu Zhu, carrying a basin of water, hurriedly ran towards Lou Yan.

With a thud, Yuzhu bumped into Lou Yan, and the water naturally splashed onto Lou Yan as well.

"How do you walk, you maid? Do you know how expensive this dress I'm wearing is? You..."

Yu Zhu immediately knelt on the ground, admitting her mistake. Gan Luo was aware of the commotion and pretended to know nothing when he arrived.

"What happened? How did these clothes suddenly get wet?"

“Princess, look at this maid. She’s not efficient at all. She’s spilled water on the clothes you gave me. I cherish these clothes very much.”

Yu Zhu kowtowed, admitting her mistake, while Lü Zhu approached them and pleaded for Yu Zhu's life.

"Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo have been by my side for many years, and I am just a piece of clothing. I am rewarding you."

Gan Luo then told Lou Yan that since Yu Zhu had gotten the clothes wet during the uprising, Yu Zhu should go and get them.

Afterwards, he had Green Bamboo escort Lou Yan back to the courtyard where Lin Muxuan was.

After doing all this, Gan Luo looked up at Lou Yan, who was now obscured by dark clouds. This scene was clearly helping Gan Luo.

The night was so dark that Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian, dressed in black with swords at their waists, moved swiftly through the darkness.
