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

Chapter 56: Gift of Medicine

"Thank you for the medicine you gave me, Your Highness. I will apply it regularly and remove the scars on my body."

Upon hearing Lin Fengmian's words, Gan Luo couldn't help but wonder if Lin Fengmian thought he disliked the scars on his body.

"I have something to tell you. The reason I am giving you these medicines is simply so that you will feel more at ease."

Lin Fengmian did not expect Gan Luo to give a special explanation.

Naturally, they were all extremely happy.

"There's something else I want to tell you, and it's something I hope you understand. Since you're someone close to me, you can't be hurt so easily, understand?"

Although he didn't know what Gan Luo meant, Lin Fengmian still agreed.

"Alright, I'm a little tired. I'll go back and rest first. If you need anything, just tell the maid next to you. She's the one I sent to take care of you."

The maids beside Gan Luo, upon hearing what he said, all felt that the princess was really too good to Lin Fengmian.

Which guard could receive such treatment as Lin Fengmian?

Yuan Zheng naturally knew that Gan Luo had arranged a maid for Lin Fengmian.

He couldn't help but start speculating.

Could it be that Her Highness the Princess has truly fallen in love with Lin Fengmian?

But I always felt that this was impossible.

Well, he shouldn't make any unfounded guesses about such things.

However, he did hear a report from his own spies.

Officials Li and Wang went to find Shangguan Nantian.

However, this person looked extremely unwell as he left the Shangguan residence.

If I'm not mistaken, it must have been something Shangguan Nantian said.

Or perhaps things didn't go as they wished, which is why the officials Wang and Li left with such expressions.

When he told Gan Luo about this, Gan Luo burst into laughter.

"I find this rather interesting. If I remember correctly, these two officials, Wang and Li, are veterans of two dynasties."

Gan Luo was very curious about what they had said to Shangguan Nantian.

Gan Luo then decided to invite Shangguan Nantian into the princess's residence.

“Green Bamboo, you invite Lord Shangguan into the Princess’s residence and say that I have something to discuss with him.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Green Bamboo did exactly as Gan Luo had instructed.

When Shangguan Nantian heard that Gan Luo was looking for him, he was momentarily puzzled.

I have absolutely no idea how Gan Luo could be perfectly fine all of a sudden...

But since Gan Luo has already asked, he must have no choice but to go, right?

Shangguan Nantian then arrived at the princess's residence.

Upon arriving here, he respectfully bowed to Gan Luo.

Gan Luo personally helped Shangguan Nantian up.

Shangguan Mufeng knew his father had arrived, and the book in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Fearing that something might happen to her father, she hurriedly went to find Shangguan Nantian.

"Young Master Shangguan is here too. It's been a few days since you two have seen each other. Why don't you have a proper get-together today?"

Shangguan Mufeng was very curious as to why Gan Luo had summoned his father to the princess's residence.

Unexpectedly, before Shangguan Nantian and Gan Luo could even exchange a few words, Shangguan Mufeng arrived.

Gan Luo did not want Shangguan Mufeng to know certain things, so naturally he did not intend to say anything.

Instead, he planned to find some time later to have someone talk to Shangguan Nantian privately.

Shangguan Mufeng is a smart man.

Seeing that Gan Luo seemed to have something to say, he then felt a little sleepy and decided to go and rest for a while before leaving.

Shangguan Nantian thought his son was a very discerning person.

"Your Highness has summoned me to your residence because you have something to say."

"Lord Shangguan is quite clever. He does indeed have something to ask you: whether Official Wang and Official Li have entered your residence."

I never expected Gan Luo to be so well-informed.

This, on the contrary, shocked Shangguan Nantian.

"Your Highness is right, those two did indeed visit my residence."

He knew that Gan Luo had summoned him here simply to find out what had happened.

However, since Shangguan Nantian had not done anything to wrong Gan Luo, he was naturally willing to speak.

"I have always acted with integrity and honesty. If the princess wishes to know the whole story, I am willing to tell her."

"Lord Shangguan is quite a straightforward person."

After learning the whole story, Gan Luo felt that Shangguan Nantian was quite different from the others.

"I like your personality."

Upon hearing Gan Luo's words, Shangguan Nantian was at a loss for words.

"This humble official only hopes that Her Highness the Princess will treat my son kindly."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will ensure your son's safe return to you."

This statement was somewhat puzzling to Shangguan Nantian.

Does Gan Luo not like his son?

So what is the reason for inviting Shangguan Mufeng into the princess's residence now?

At that moment, Shangguan Nantian felt that Gan Luo's thoughts were hard to fathom.

"I have my own plans, and I hope you will not ask."

How could Gan Luo possibly tell him? It was because Gan Luo couldn't use mind-reading to know what Shangguan Mufeng was thinking that he brought him into the manor.

If she could perceive what this person was thinking, how could she possibly...

"Now that I have received Her Highness's promise, I can rest assured. Does Her Highness have any other questions?"

Gan Luo indicated that there were none left, and then asked Shangguan Nantian and Shangguan Mufeng to go and meet up.

These elders certainly know how to stir things up.

I never expected that someone so old would still be so restless.

If that's the case, shouldn't Gan Luo teach them a lesson?

It seems that these two officials, Li and Wang, have some business dealings in the capital.

Gan Luo decided to bring his business over.

This would prevent the other party from continuing their business.

Or rather, to find out some dirt on the other party's shop.

"Go and investigate the shops that these officials Li and Wang own in the capital, and find out what they mainly sell."

Upon hearing this, both Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo immediately expressed their determination to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Both of them understood that Gan Luo was about to make a move.

Now that Gan Luo is about to make his move, they're in for a rough time.

But they deserved it all; who told them to provoke Gan Luo here?

If they hadn't provoked Gan Luo, they would still be safe and sound.

Shangguan Nantian asked Shangguan Mufeng how Princess treated him.

"Father, don't worry. This princess is very kind to me, and she is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the rumors say."

Unexpectedly, his son would speak up for Gan Luo. It seems that Gan Luo might really be different from the rumors.

Although Gan Luo exuded an overbearing aura during their conversation, he also retained a gentle and feminine side.
