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

Chapter 124: Blame

"Since it is Minister Shangshu who has arrived, why not invite him in?"

Gan Luo spoke calmly, his face expressionless.

When the Minister of War arrived, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Your Highness, I am your humble servant. I have failed to properly educate my son, which has caused him to disturb Your Highness. I hope Your Highness will not blame me."

Gan Luo knelt down as soon as he saw the Minister of War arrive.

I was quite surprised for a moment.

"I have no intention of blaming Sun Zifeng."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of War breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, I thought Gan Luo would blame me.

"Guard Lin, go and bring out a chair for the Minister of War."

"Your Highness is too kind. I dare not accept such praise."

I have a feeling that if I were to sit in this chair, the consequences would be unimaginable.

He glanced down at Sun Zifeng, a hint of coldness in his eyes.

When I get back, I must give that grandson Feng a good talking-to.

Otherwise, this Sun Zifeng wouldn't know what it means to be arrogant and ignorant.

Gan Luo, on the other hand, found these past few days quite interesting.

Not only did he survive an assassination attempt, but he also had to deal with officials in the imperial court one after another.

However, this Sun Zifeng is quite interesting. If we keep him in the princess's residence, it might bring even more fun.

"I am quite interested in your son. I wonder if he would be willing to stay in my residence for a while."

How could the Minister of War not know Gan Luo's meaning?

Once Sun Zifeng moved into the princess's residence, everyone would think that he had become Gan Luo's male favorite.

Sun Zifeng thought about it carefully.

This princess is quite different from what has been said in the rumors.

If we stay in the princess's residence, wouldn't we get to know the princess better?

"I am willing to stay in the princess's residence."

The Minister of War was surprised when Sun Zifeng said this.

He had no idea what his son was thinking.

"If the Minister of War comes here to plead for your son, I think it's a big deal, but there's no need. I won't punish your son. If there's nothing else, please leave."

After saying that, Gan Luo added.

"Qingya Pavilion is quite suitable for you to live in. You can go there to stay tomorrow. Today, I will allow you to catch up with your father."

The Minister of War and Sun Zifeng arrived outside.

He looked at Sun Zifeng with a gloomy expression.

"Do you know what you just said? Do you know that you have now become the princess's male lover?"

"Father, I know what I'm doing."

"Since you know why you want to..."

"I just want to learn more about Her Highness the Princess. Besides, Her Highness doesn't have a husband yet, does she? If my son works hard and becomes Her Highness's husband, wouldn't that bring glory to our family?"

For a moment, I actually felt that what my son said made a lot of sense.

But becoming a princess's husband is no easy feat.

"Do you know that recently, the prince has been pursuing the princess with great fervor, but the princess has completely ignored him?"

"What does this have to do with me?"

He and Xin Ruyu are two different beings.

Xin Ruyu's inability to catch up with Gan Luo now is perhaps simply due to his lack of ability.

The Minister of War suddenly remembered: "Yan Ruyu, how did you..."

"Her Highness the Princess told me that she spared Yan Ruyu's life."

That's enough for Sun Zifeng.

He also understood that there was no possibility of him ever being with Sun Zifeng again in this lifetime.

Since it's impossible, why not bring glory to our ancestors?

Lin Fengmian stood silently beside Gan Luo the whole time.

"He has found another male concubine. Is he really planning to have three thousand beauties?"

The more Lin Fengmian thought about it, the more conflicted he became.

Then he thought again, wouldn't it be good if Gan Luo was happy?

Gan Luo sensed that Lin Fengmian was somewhat sullen, so he looked up at Lin Fengmian.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmian's expression kept changing.

Gan Luo was curious about what Lin Fengmian was thinking.

Take a look here.

Yi Ran knew Lin Fengmian's thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fengmian was thinking about Gan Luo. Why would he take a male concubine?

Firstly, it was for the sake of visual appeal; secondly, because the princess's residence was too expensive and boring; and thirdly, it was to confirm that Gan Luo loved handsome men.

Ultimately, it's all just to attract attention.

Meanwhile, Lin Muxuan learned that Gan Luo had recruited another male concubine.

He had already found Gan Luo and congratulated him.

Wait, how did Gan Luo detect a sour smell in it?

Why does it seem like this little guy is jealous these days?

"I smell vinegar in the air."

Upon hearing this, Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo immediately began to sniff around.

But to my surprise, I couldn't smell any vinegar at all.

"Has my nose stopped working?"

Even though no vinegar was used in the cooking in the small kitchen, Gan Luo said that the air smelled of vinegar.

Lin Muxuan naturally understood Gan Luo's meaning.

He remained silent and sat quietly to the side.

"I will bestow upon you a new name; from now on, you shall be called Young Master Nan."

In fact, Lin Muxuan had always wondered why Gan Luo brought him to the princess's residence. Did she really fall in love with him?

If you really like it, why haven't you stayed overnight during these past few days?

Each time, she would only glance at him before leaving.

Gan Luo opened the folding fan in his hand and lifted Lin Muxuan's chin.

"I find you to be very beautiful, and this beauty is feminine."

The unexpected praise left Lin Muxuan at a loss for words.

Wait, Gan Luo was praising feminine beauty, doesn't that mean Lin Muxuan is like a woman?

"Your Highness, how dare you insult people here?"

"I have not insulted anyone. I am only telling the truth."

Lin Muxuan said that Gan Luo said he was a girl.

"Then let me put it another way: gender is indistinguishable. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Lin Muxuan was overjoyed.

These are all feasible.

Time quickly passed to the second day.

Gan Luo summoned all the civil and military officials to the execution ground.

These officials are standing here.

They all understood Gan Luo's intention.

This is nothing more than making an example of someone to scare others.

Yan Kun and Yan Ruyu naturally blended in with the ordinary people of Liming.

Gan Luo sat high in his seat, expressionless.

It seems that this has become commonplace.

"I have to say, this Minister is really in a bad situation."

"Yes, but Her Highness still has some humanity; she preserved his bloodline."

Nowadays, it can be said that each person is responsible for their own actions.

After all, those executed were some suicide soldiers and the Minister of Revenue.

"The time has come; execute him immediately."

The executioner picked up his broadsword and poured a jug of wine into it without hesitation.

The knife fell from the hand, and the head fell to the ground.

Yan Kun blindfolded Yan Ruyu, preventing her from witnessing the bloody scene.
