Chapter 84: One Step, One Bow
Xin Ruyu had also heard that Gan Luo had fallen ill again.
He was just pondering why Gan Luo had fallen ill time and time again.
Could it be due to aftereffects?
After all, Gan Luo was always challenging people in the past, and he didn't care even when he was injured.
These days, I get sick all the time, perhaps...
Xin Ruyu decided to personally go to Puan Temple to pray for Gan Luo.
This will naturally demonstrate Xin Ruyu's sincerity.
Even if you can't move Gan Luo, you can at least win his favor.
The strategist, seeing Xin Ruyu standing to the side, felt uneasy and couldn't help but call out to him.
"Your Highness, it seems you've been quite uneasy ever since you learned that the Princess is unwell."
"I intend to kowtow and prostrate myself every step of the way to Puan Temple."
The strategist stared wide-eyed at Xin Ruyu in disbelief.
"Your Highness, are you serious?"
"I am serious. As the saying goes, sincerity brings results."
For some reason, the strategist suddenly felt that his prince had truly fallen in love with Gan Luo.
But the prince also told him that all of this was just part of the plan.
I really couldn't figure out what Xin Ruyu was thinking.
"I only want to tell you one thing: don't try to guess my thoughts. You just need to do your job well."
Hearing Xin Ruyu say this, the strategist had no choice but to nod.
The weather outside looks pretty good.
Xin Ruyu decided to put it into practice immediately.
Xin Ruyu went directly to the entrance of the Prince Yu's Mansion.
They started by kneeling as they took one step at a time.
This scene was witnessed by the local people living in the early morning.
They all gathered around to watch.
"Why do you think the Prince is here, bowing with each step?"
A girl who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old asked the man next to her.
"I have heard a rumor."
Rumor?
They all turned their attention to the man.
"If someone wishes to pray for the safety of another, and walks to this Puan Temple with each step and each bow, and is able to show sincerity, then the sick person will get better."
Looking at Xin Ruyu's actions now, it seems they were for Gan Luo's sake.
After all, they all knew that Xin Ruyu was fond of Gan Luo.
He had always wanted to marry Gan Luo.
Unfortunately, it was done without the emperor's permission.
"I have to say, this prince is truly devoted to his love; it's so tragic."
Then some people started discussing why His Majesty did not agree to the marriage between the prince and the princess.
This prince treats the princess with such sincerity.
If the prince were to marry the princess into his household, he would surely dote on her.
When the couple gets along well, it will surely become a beautiful story.
"Who knows about these royal affairs? Perhaps it's because this prince doesn't have much power, so..."
Before the man could finish speaking, the other man quickly covered his mouth.
"This kind of thing cannot be said carelessly. If it were overheard by someone with ulterior motives and spread to the palace, we would both lose our heads, and there is a high chance that our entire families would be executed."
Some things shouldn't be said carelessly, because the consequences are beyond their ability to bear.
"I understand, I understand, but if I were a woman and met a man like Your Highness, I would definitely marry him."
Listen to the discussions among the residents of the neighborhood.
Everyone was praising Xin Ruyu, which naturally pleased Xin Ruyu.
For Xin Ruyu, this was exactly the effect he wanted.
He wanted the world to know just how sincere Xin Ruyu's feelings for Gan Luo truly were.
A light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky.
Xin Ruyu felt the raindrops pattering on her face.
I felt dizzy for a moment.
The strategist watched Xin Ruyu's actions from a short distance away.
The strategist couldn't help but sigh, never expecting Xin Ruyu to do such a thing.
It's truly baffling why Xin Ruyu would do such a thing now. She's just a woman, after all. Even if she were a princess, so what? Why would someone go to such lengths for her?
Perhaps Xin Ruyu has truly fallen in love with Gan Luo.
But someone as high and mighty as Gan Luo...
Xin Ruyu naturally loved but could not have the one he desired.
The strategist made up his mind to send someone to assassinate Gan Luo.
As the saying goes, once Gan Luo dies, Xin Ruyu will be back to normal.
She's just a woman, nothing more. If he has a woman in his heart, she won't amount to anything, especially since she's a femme fatale.
Although it started raining, the people still stood on both sides of the street.
Thunder rumbled intermittently in the sky.
"This prince is being too insistent."
"Yes, I never expected Your Highness to be so insistent."
They were all discussing it here.
Some people, however, believe that the princess will surely see the prince's true feelings.
The princess will surely be moved by the prince.
Xin Ruyu kowtowed step by step forward.
After kowtowing for an unknown amount of time, Xin Ruyu's head was already bleeding, but he still didn't stop.
Fortunately, I am a martial artist.
If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have died on the way.
Sun Xinru should have already completed more than half of his prostrations. If he perseveres a little longer, he will soon reach Puan Temple.
I don't know how much time had passed, but the rain had stopped.
Xin Ruyu had already kowtowed all the way to Puan Temple.
The host here saw Xin Ruyu and personally helped her up.
The host was a smart man; seeing Xin Ruyu dressed so luxuriously, he knew that Xin Ruyu was of extraordinary status.
"Did you climb up here step by step, kowtowing your way to this position?"
When Xin Ruyu heard the host say this, he told the host that he had indeed kowtowed step by step.
"With your sincerity, benefactor, I believe your wish will surely come true."
The host then praised Xin Ruyu, saying she had great stamina.
“Last month, someone kowtowed, but unexpectedly, he couldn’t continue after only half of it.”
Xin Ruyu smiled with satisfaction, and then asked for a peace charm.
The host told Xin Ruyu that she should personally draw the inscription on the peace talisman.
Xin Ruyu agreed, and under the guidance of the abbot, she successfully created the runes for the peace talisman and made it herself.
"Thank you for your instruction, Abbot."
"All of this is due to your own good fortune. You have a blessed face and will surely achieve great things in the future."
Xin Ruyu thanked the abbot and then left some money as a donation.
Upon leaving Puan Temple, Xin Ruyu felt his steps falter.
The strategist hurriedly helped Xin Ruyu up.
"Your Highness, your servant has prepared a sedan chair for you."
