Chapter 324: Destruction
For some reason, Xin Ruyu found Gan Luo somewhat endearing.
"Don't keep staring at me like that, or I'll make sure you never come back."
Upon hearing this, Xin Ruyu naturally withdrew his gaze.
Xin Ruyu then said that she had other things to do and left first.
Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian ordered some more desserts to take back to the princess's residence.
"I remember you seem to really like this osmanthus cake. This is the osmanthus cake I just ordered. Take it back and eat it."
"Your Highness, I would like to know why you are so kind to me."
Gan Luo himself didn't really know much about this matter.
However, Gan Luo genuinely hoped that Lin Fengmian could be happy.
At this point, Prime Minister Xu decided to kill Xi Nufeng, since Xi Nufeng could not be allowed to live, otherwise he would become a hidden danger.
In the end, many people were sent to find Xi Nufeng. They found Xi Nufeng in Jiaolin and confronted the group of guards there. In the end, all the guards were killed, and Xi Nufeng also died there.
When Lin Fengmian returned to this place, he found that all the guards and west Nufeng were dead.
Lin Fengmian hurriedly went to find Gan Luo and informed him of the matter.
When Gan Luo learned of this, he was furious.
Gan Luo never expected these people to be so bold, and they didn't take him seriously at all.
In that case, Gan Luo would definitely not let them go.
Gan Luo then made a decision, which naturally involved personally going to the scene to investigate thoroughly and see if any clues were found.
When Gan Luo arrived at this scene, he must have looked around, only to find that there were only footprints, and not even any tokens or anything like that.
Gan Luo walked to west Nufeng's side, only to find that Xi Nufeng was still breathing. Xi Nufeng sensed that someone had come and opened his eyes. "I never expected to see Her Highness the Princess before I die. It's truly unbelievable."
Do you know who did these things? If you do, you must tell me.
west Nufeng gestured to Gan Luo with three words, opened his mouth, but said nothing, and eventually died.
Gan Luo never expected west Nufeng to die like this. In the end, Gan Luo turned to Lin Fengmian and asked Lin Fengmian to deal with all of these people.
After Lin Fengmian finished dealing with everyone, Gan Luo ordered his men to burn down the entire charred forest.
"Your Highness, are you sure you want to burn this place down? It took you a year to build this place."
"I said I would burn myself, and I don't want to say it a second time. If you want to test my patience here, you are welcome to try."
After returning to the princess's residence, Gan Luo had someone fetch a map, which naturally marked locations within the capital city.
After careful observation, it was found that the location looked quite good, and Gan Luo ultimately chose the southeast.
"I want you to go to this southeast and secretly build a palace."
Although they said they didn't know Gan Luo's intentions, they still did as Gan Luo said.
They eventually arrived in the southeast, only to find that the area was overgrown with trees. It would probably take one or two years to build a palace there.
"I am not in a hurry, we can take our time, but you must do as I say. If you do not do as I say, I will send you all to the underworld."
None of them expected that they would be threatened by Gan Luo at such a moment.
Lin Fengmian didn't know why Gan Luo was building a palace here. However, he didn't intend to ask Gan Luo, because he knew that Gan Luo must have had a reason for building the palace.
For Lin Fengmian, the most important thing was that Gan Luo was happy.
Even if Gan Luo wanted the moon in the sky, Lin Fengmian would definitely find a way to pluck the moon down for Gan Luo.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is fast approaching.
Nowadays, Mid-Autumn Festival banquets are naturally held within Xin Ruyu's palace.
However, Gan Luo doesn't want to go at all now. He wanted to find an excuse, but in the end, he couldn't find a suitable one.
Gan Luo had no choice but to go.
However, Prime Minister Xu did not attend this banquet at all, after all, he had been humiliated by Xin Ruyu last time.
"It's puzzling that the Prime Minister isn't here. Shouldn't all the civil and military officials be gathered here during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"Your Majesty may not know, but the Prime Minister seems to be ill, which is why he is unable to come here at the moment."
Unexpectedly, Xin Ruyu made a sarcastic remark about Prime Minister Xu, who couldn't help but sneeze, feeling as if someone was talking about him behind his back.
"Just a few days ago, I saw the Prime Minister and he was full of energy. How could he suddenly be sick? Is he faking it?"
After that, Xin Ruyu sent someone directly to the Prime Minister's residence.
When the people from the Prince's Mansion arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they gently knocked on the door. The steward was a little puzzled as to who opened the door, only to find a strange man.
"Who are you?"
"This steward is a steward in the Prince's mansion. Now that the Prince has taken office, I have come here to invite the Prime Minister to a banquet."
He then pointed directly to the carriage outside.
The steward was completely surprised that Xin Ruyu had even prepared a carriage.
"I never expected Your Highness to be so thoughtful, even preparing a carriage here. It really surprised me."
The steward hurriedly told Prime Minister Xu about the matter.
Prime Minister Xu originally wanted to refuse, but now that Gan Yanling and the others were present, it would be a bit disrespectful to refuse, wouldn't it?
In the end, Prime Minister Xu had no choice but to grit his teeth and come outside to get into the carriage.
Upon arriving at the Prince's Mansion, they disembarked directly from the carriage.
"I am truly sorry to have kept you all waiting for so long. I am willing to punish myself with three cups of wine here."
Xin Ruyu stood up abruptly. "Isn't Prime Minister Xu feeling unwell? He can simply stay here and eat some food now."
