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

Chapter 352: Cleverness

"I never imagined that Her Majesty had really been harmed. I thought Her Majesty could live, but now I realize that I was just too naive," one of the palace maids said sadly.

The palace maid's tears dripped onto the ground, her heart filled with unbearable sorrow. When Murong Xueqi was alive, she had been incredibly kind to her, but now Murong Xueqi was dead.

Gan Yanling also did not expect that Murong Xueqi was actually dead.

At this moment, Gan Yanling was filled with mixed feelings. Upon seeing Murong Xueqi's appearance, he was at a loss for what to do. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have locked Murong Xueqi up in the palace.

When Gan Luo learned of this, she must have rushed to the palace, pretending to know nothing.

"I want to know what exactly happened. Why are you all gathered here? And more importantly, why is this place on fire? I'm quite puzzled at this moment."

They were all talking at once, and when Gan Luo suddenly appeared, they all bowed to him and told him everything.

Gan Luo, feigning deep sorrow, sighed. "I never imagined things would develop this way. It's truly distressing. I thought that after entering the palace, I would still be able to see..."

Prime Minister Xu must already know about this matter. He is in a very angry state in his residence. The person he has painstakingly trained has actually died in a fight...

Prime Minister Xu was already glaring angrily at the people in front of him. These were the people he was training to send into the palace, but seeing that their abilities were inferior to Murong Xueqi's, he became even angrier.

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot. Xu Jinxin happened to walk over and saw how angry Prime Minister Xu was, so she reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Father, I don't think it's necessary to be so angry. If you're so angry, you'll only hurt yourself. Besides, I really think that getting too angry about some things will only backfire. So I think..."

Xu Jinxin turned around and looked at the girls behind her, and she understood that they had been yelled at by Prime Minister Xu.

Otherwise, they would never have felt so wronged. Actually, Prime Minister Xu thought these girls were all quite capable, after all, they were all...

As a result, her father was still not satisfied, which really gave Xu Jinxin a headache. After comforting Prime Minister Xu, Xu Jinxin accompanied him to the palace.

"Actually, Father, there's something else I wanted to tell you. I think it's unnecessary for us to go. If we go to the palace, what if His Majesty or the Princess suspects us later?"

Upon hearing what Xu Jinxin said, Prime Minister Xu actually felt that what Xu Jinxin said made a lot of sense for a moment. In the end, Prime Minister Xu and Xu Jinxin turned around and left. This scene was definitely seen clearly by the man in black who was sent by Gan Luo.

Meanwhile, Gan Yanling must have promoted Murong Xueqi to the rank of Imperial Concubine, and even buried her in that capacity.

Although Gan Yanling had indeed lowered Murong Xueqi's status before this.

However, the reasons for restoring it at this time were firstly to show the ministers in the court, and secondly to make the common people think that he was a very good ruler, whether it was towards the concubines in the harem or the common people.

After finishing all that, Gan Yanling left the scene under the pretext of feeling unwell. He then went to the Imperial Garden alone, where he sat sullenly, looking at the pond in front of him, his mind filled with thoughts.

Is there anyone in this world who is truly sincere towards him? Is everyone in a state of exploitation, after all, Murong Xueqi is like that.

Before this, he thought Murong Xueqi was serious, but after hearing what Murong Xueqi said, he felt really, really sad.

Gan Luo also happened to be in the Imperial Garden.

Indeed, at this moment, seeing Gan Yanling standing here all alone was quite unbelievable to Gan Luo. Gan Luo never expected that he would be standing here alone without anyone by his side.

Lin Ruohua asked Gan Luo if he wanted to go forward, but Gan Luo shook his head and said there was no need to go forward. At this time, Gan Luo led Lin Ruohua away from the palace and headed towards the princess's residence. As soon as they arrived at the princess's residence, the man in black walked up to Gan Luo.

"There is something I want to tell Your Highness. Just now, Prime Minister Xu also wanted to go to the palace, but I don't know what you said, but in the end, Prime Minister Xu did not go to the palace. Instead, he turned around and returned to the Prime Minister's residence."

Gan Luo listened and must have understood in that instant. It has to be said that this person is quite clever; he had originally thought this person was quite foolish.

"Actually, Xu Jinxin is quite clever. If Xu Jinxin wasn't clever, then Prime Minister Xu would probably be suspected by now. I have to say that Xu Jinxin's actions have made me think she has some brains. I originally thought Xu Jinxin was incredibly stupid, but now I find that's not the case."

Gan Luo smiled, clearly looking forward to what was to come.
