Chapter 14: The Emperor Has Arrived
Inside the city guards' tents, all the discussions revolved around the Emperor.
Deputy General Lu had absolute confidence in the city's defense forces and appreciated Gan Luo's attitude, which was far better than those censors who only knew how to talk.
“The Princess is right. However, we only received news of his return when he was almost in the capital. He deliberately concealed his arrival in the capital. Perhaps he has some ulterior motive. We must also pay special attention to the Emperor’s safety.”
"General Tian is now in charge of the Imperial Guards. I've instructed him to strengthen security around the Emperor. I will be attending the court assemblies during this period."
In general, they did not consider the King a formidable opponent. After making arrangements, the group arrived at the arena.
Gan Luo changed out of the exquisite headdress given to him by Xu Zhang, leaving only a hairpin to hold his hair in place, and reappeared in front of everyone in a red outfit.
Lin Fengmian was dressed in his usual black attire, but now, standing beside Yuan Zheng, his silence became a unique quality about him.
Deputy General Lu and five squad leaders from the army were already waiting on horseback. They had seen the radiant Gan Luo before, but they were still amazed by her.
"I really don't understand, which eye of Zhao Wuji is blind, that he can't even look down on the Princess."
"That's right. If I were the one who got robbed, I would definitely serve the princess her foot bath every day."
Gan Luo was slapped on the shoulder.
"You're just bragging. If we really captured you, you'd probably come running back crying." These people are born for the battlefield, and besides, they're still quite different from handsome men.
Mentioning handsome men, Gan Luo couldn't help but glance at where Lin Fengmian was standing. Her little bodyguard was the real handsome man, and also highly skilled in martial arts.
Lin Fengmian felt the princess's gaze and lowered her head. In such a large gathering, the princess didn't even try to restrain herself. But if she did, she wouldn't be the princess.
Deputy General Lu and the five squad leaders laughed heartily: "The Princess understands us best."
Meanwhile, Xin Ruyu was staying at a post station in the capital. He originally wanted to find an inn, but his whereabouts were discovered, and the clerk of the Court of State Ceremonial came to pick him up.
"I heard that Zhao Wuji has been expelled from the princess's residence. Is this news true or false?"
Xin Ruyu looked at the guard beside him. He was responsible for going to the capital in advance to gather information, and he had just climbed in through the window.
"It's true. Grand Tutor Zhao was still seeking justice in court when the Emperor scolded him for being pretentious like a woman. The Zhao family has completely lost face."
Xin Ruyu was quite surprised that Gan Luo was no longer infatuated with that fool Zhao Wuji.
Where is Gan Luo now?
"She'll be competing in the city guards, and then she'll probably go hunting. Should Master go find her?"
After the old emperor died, only Gan Luo could catch Xinru's eye; the young emperor Gan Yanling was not qualified.
"I won't go yet. She probably already knows I'm in the capital. I'm more interested in that bodyguard now."
Lin Fengmian is a lowly person, not even as good as Zhao Wuji. I really don't know what attracted Gan Luo to him. Moreover, according to the information he received, Lin Fengmian is not as easy to deal with as that fool Zhao Wuji.
For many years, he had treated Gan Luo as a friend, and this time when he returned, he also intended to propose to Gan Luo.
"Let's go to the palace first."
Once he marries Gan Luo, it will only be a matter of time before the two of them join forces to conquer the entire world.
Gan Yanling, in the palace, couldn't concentrate on the memorials in his hand: "What does Xin Ruyu mean? I didn't even summon him, yet he came back on his own. Is he planning a rebellion?"
