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

Chapter 133: Rumors and Gossip

"Cough cough cough..."

Yuan Zheng couldn't help but cough a few times, never expecting to see what was happening before his eyes.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have covered my eyes immediately.

Unfortunately, it's too late now.

Yuan Zheng then respectfully bowed to Gan Luo.

No need for formalities.

Gan Luo didn't care about Yuan Zheng's opinion at all, after all, this person had been working in the princess's residence for a long time.

However, when Yuan Zheng recalled the things that Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian had done before, he felt that they were perfectly normal.

Gan Luo returned to the courtyard.

Unexpectedly, Kong Hong and Lin Muxuan had already arrived in front of Gan Luo.

The two got along quite well, which surprised Gan Luo. He had thought the two would have some conflicts in the mansion, but to his surprise, they didn't.

"Your Highness, we've found something interesting. Would you like to see it?"

Gan Luo was a little surprised to hear something interesting, and looked up at Kong Hong and Lin Muxuan.

Unexpectedly, the two men handed Gan Luo a cricket.

Gan Luo frowned, surprised that the two of them were so naive.

But that doesn't matter.

Gan Luo then turned his attention to Kong Hong and decided to stay overnight in his courtyard.

"I will stay in your courtyard tonight."

Kong Hong stiffened. Was Gan Luo serious?

As soon as Gan Luo said this, Yuan Zheng, Lin Fengmian, and Lin Muxuan all turned their attention to Gan Luo, but quickly looked away without saying a word.

Meanwhile, rumors were circulating in the capital that Gan Luo doted on his guards and had improper dealings with them.

When Gan Luo learned of this, he remained calm and composed, standing there in place.

"Your Highness, do you not intend to deal with these rumors circulating in the capital?"

Lin Muxuan couldn't help but ask Gan Luo, but unexpectedly Gan Luo gave Lin Muxuan a reply.

"Why should I deal with it? I do indeed dote on Lin Fengmian, but what good will that do?"

Unexpectedly, Gan Luo would actually admit it on his own initiative. It seems that Gan Luo really cares about the guard beside him.

Time passed second by second, and there was a person standing next to Gan Luo.

When Gan Luo looked up, he saw that the spies he had sent out had returned.

"Your Highness, we have investigated the matter thoroughly. There is indeed some connection between the Prince and Young Master Zhao."

Upon suddenly hearing that he had a connection with Young Master Zhao, Gan Luo's expression darkened.

"Why don't you tell me what kind of connection exists between them? I'm quite curious."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout told Gan Luo.

"Their collaboration doesn't seem very rigorous; it's just a bunch of odds and ends."

There were several large question marks above Gan Luo's head.

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"They were just talking about Her Highness the Princess."

The scout then informed Gan Luo that the prince had always protected the princess.

"So that's how it is," Gan Luo suddenly realized.

However, no matter what the prince did, Gan Luo had no interest in serving him.

After all, this person had overthrown the dynasty in his previous life.

"Alright, you may leave."

Gan Luo waved his hand, and after the scout went down, he naturally returned to the Prince Yu's mansion and informed Xin Ruyu.

Xin Ruyu told Gan Luo what he said, and a smile appeared on his lips. This way, he could establish a good image in Gan Luo's mind.

"Don't worry, as long as you stay by my side, the day I marry the princess will be your time to rise to prominence."

The spy in front of him naturally nodded.

The two of them are now on the same boat.

This person has nowhere to retreat; they can only keep going.

"You should stay by Gan Luo's side during this time. Also, are Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian really that close?"

This guard naturally answered Xin Ruyu's question, confirming that the relationship between Lin Fengmian and Gan Luo was indeed as rumored.

"Your Highness need not worry too much. Lin Fengmian is ultimately just a guard."

This person's status isn't particularly prestigious, so it's clear that there's no way Lin Fengmian and Lin Fengmian could end up together.

Even if Gan Luo were to achieve a happy ending with someone, it would undoubtedly only be with the prince before him.

"I like what you're saying right now. Here's a reward of one thousand taels of silver for you."

The guard was overjoyed to see the heavy silver in his hand.

After all, what this bodyguard wanted was money, fame, and fortune.

After that, Xin Ruyu went to find Zhao Wuji.

The reason I found Zhao Wuji is that there is something I want to discuss with him.

"I remember that the Flower Festival is coming soon, and you and the princess can meet on the Magpie Bridge then."

What is the Magpie Bridge? It is a place for lovers to meet in secret.

"Your Highness, I am of no use to Her Highness anymore, and she no longer sees me. Can I really win her heart?"

"Have you never heard the saying, 'Old feelings are hard to forget'?"

For some reason, Zhao Wuji felt for a moment that Xin Ruyu was trying to fool him.

Zhao Wuji's eyes dimmed slightly.

"It is my fault that I have disappointed Your Highness."

Xin Ruyu looked at Zhao Wuji, thought about it carefully, and decided to put the matter aside for now.

"May I ask you, has this princess and her guards always been so intimate?"

"I remember that Her Highness the Princess and her guards seemed to be..."

Zhao Wuji needs to think this over carefully.

After all, this matter happened a long, long time ago.

"I recall that when Her Highness woke up from her poisoning, this was the guard that Her Highness valued highly."

It seems that from that day onward, the princess's attitude towards Zhao Wuji changed.

"However, according to what I understand, this princess does seem to have feelings for the guards beside her."

As for the depth of this affection, Zhao Wuji had no idea.

The more Zhao Wuji said this, the more Xin Ruyu felt that he had to get rid of Lin Fengmian.

Only after eliminating this person might Gan Luo go and see the others.
