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

Chapter 331: Illness

Green Bamboo could clearly sense that Murong Xueqi was no pushover. Although she was ill, there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes, as if she harbored a strong resentment towards Xu Jiu.

"Your Majesty, you are ill now, why have you come here to visit her? Could it be..."

Meanwhile, Murong Xueqi pretended that she only wanted to visit Xu Jiu, since she didn't know when her current physical condition would end.

As luck would have it, Gan Yanling had already arrived at Xu Jiu's palace, where Murong Xueqi was weeping and wailing.

Shangguan Tian'er now only feels disgusted.

Gan Yanling naturally comforted Murong Xueqi here, and then left with Murong Xueqi. At this time, Lvzhu and Shangguan Tian'er were talking about Murong Xueqi. "I really think this person in front of me is simply insane."

It was at this moment that they really felt the person in front of them seemed to be sick.

Xu Jiu overheard Shangguan Tian'er and Lüzhu's discussion and walked directly up to them. "There's something I forgot to tell you. I think I drank some of the things she gave me before, but I didn't think too much about it at the time. As a result, my body started having problems a few days later."

At that moment, both Shangguan Tian'er and Lvzhu had an idea. For some reason, they felt that this person definitely had some problems.

Ultimately, they decided to target Murong Xueqi. More importantly, Gan Yanling had just arrived and hadn't even exchanged a single word with Xu Jiu before Murong Xueqi had already taken him away.

"Actually, I'm quite frustrated at this moment. I always feel that Murong Xueqi has some kind of problem. After all, just now she actually pretended that we were all bullying her, even though I didn't bully her at all."

Then, at that moment, Shangguan Tian'er realized that being in the imperial family was indeed quite difficult.

After all, an emperor has three thousand concubines in his harem, doesn't he? I really can't understand how Gan Yanling could manage so many concubines.

Furthermore, the officials in the imperial court were constantly sending concubines into the palace. Shangguan Tian'er, who was in charge of managing all these concubines, was already having a terrible headache.

"If I may, I hope that after I have finished reporting some things to Her Highness the Princess, I will leave the palace when the time is right. I do not want to become one of her concubines."

As soon as he said this, Xu Jiu hurriedly covered Shangguan Tian'er's mouth. Such words should not be spoken casually. If someone overheard, it would be bad if this matter reached Gan Yanling's ears.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Murong Xueqi was complaining to Gan Yanling.

"I know you mean well, but you must understand that Lin Fei's physical condition is quite serious. You are already ill, and if you go and infect Lin Fei, what will happen to Lin Fei and Fu Zhong's unborn child?"

"But all I want to do is see my sister. My health is getting worse and worse. I don't know how much longer I have to live. I'm just afraid that one day I won't be able to see my sister again."

For some reason, seeing Murong Xueqi in this state, Gan Yanling felt a pang of pity, especially considering Murong Xueqi's own condition...

Gan Yanling then returned to the Imperial Study and promoted Murong Xueqi's rank.

When Shangguan Tian'er and Lüzhu learned of this, they immediately told Gan Luo. Gan Luo immediately asked them to investigate. For some reason, Gan Luo also felt that this person was the one who did it.

After all, this person had fallen into the lotus pond a month ago due to a cunning act, and it is very likely that he was here to deal with Xu Jiu because of revenge.

If the real purpose of dealing with Xu Jiu is here, then Gan Luo will absolutely not spare him in the future.

He would definitely pay the price himself, because Gan Luo didn't care much about human life or anything like that.

For Gan Luo, all he hopes now is that Xu Jiu can give birth to this child safely, because he also hopes to raise this child to adulthood...

This way, she could have this child succeed Gan Yanling to the throne. After all, what if something happened to Gan Yanling? There wouldn't be an heir, would there? Besides, the ministers in the court should all share the same idea.

Lin Fengmian noticed that Gan Luo hadn't said a word, and for a moment he felt puzzled, so he asked Gan Luo, "Why does Your Highness seem so preoccupied these days? Could something have happened?"

"I was just thinking about whether Xu Jiu could successfully give birth to a prince. After all, Xu Jiu's health has been getting worse lately, hasn't it? If this continues..."

If it weren't for the fact that Lin Fengmian was a man, Gan Luo would have wanted to place Lin Fengmian next to Xu Jiu and protect her. It's just a pity that Lin Fengmian was a man. If a man like that were to be placed next to Xu Jiu, it would likely cause controversy.

Therefore, Lin Fengmian should not do such a thing.

"I just feel that Your Highness will be able to give birth to this child safely, especially since Her Highness the Princess is already by Your Highness's side."

Although that's what he said, Gan Luo was still quite worried. He then decided to go to the palace to talk to Gan Yanling and invite Xu Jiu into the princess's residence.

When Prime Minister Xu learned of everything Gan Luo had done, he began to wonder why Gan Luo had been secretly protecting Xu Jiu, and whether Gan Luo was also after this child.

If that's really the case, then what should we do next? Everyone's definitely thinking about this here.
