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

Chapter 9: The Child I Raised Has Grown Up

Grand Tutor Zhao was terrified, but he knew more about the inside story than these common people. Last time they met, Zhao Wuji was still confident that the Princess could only be won over in this way. She was used to obedience and fear, and Zhao Wuji's fierce nature was more appealing to her. She didn't expect to be proven wrong so quickly.

"Son, are you alright? Go quickly and fetch a doctor."

Zhao Wuji's hand hung limply as he stared menacingly in the direction Yuan Zheng had left. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why did the Princess suddenly send you back? Didn't you say everything was fine before? Now... how are we going to explain this to the Prince?"

The Zhao family was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, while Gan Luo's side was as peaceful as a spring breeze.

Moved that the princess had finally seen through the pretty boy's true colors, Granny Duan ordered the kitchen to prepare a feast and set it up at the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

“This servant told you long ago that Young Master Zhao is no good person. Even after moving into the Princess’s residence, he still gets entangled with County Princess Xu, but Your Highness just won’t listen…”

Granny Duan chattered on like an old woman, but Gan Luo felt a warm glow in her heart as she listened. She was one of the few people around her who truly cared about her, but unfortunately, because she had been bewitched by Zhao Wuji, she was sent away to a place where she couldn't see her.

After speaking for a long time, Duan Mama finally realized that the princess was just looking at her without saying a word, and couldn't help but lick her dry lips: "Princess, this servant has said too much."

"It's okay, you're just doing this for my own good."

Granny Duan burst into tears instantly; the child she had raised had finally grown up.

Gan Luo was stunned. Although she knew that Granny Duan was concerned about her, she couldn't bear to see this person cry.

Fortunately, Lin Fengmian came in time to rescue her.

"Princess, the Emperor has arrived."

His Majesty Gan Yanling ascended the throne at a young age, and his journey has been fraught with difficulties. If it weren't for Gan Luo's swift and decisive actions in securing military power over the city's guards, he would still be a puppet emperor. He holds his sister Gan Luo in the highest esteem.

A gust of wind blew by, and a slender figure appeared in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The newcomer had a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes, and his features were seven-tenths similar to Gan Luo's. Both of them had extremely striking appearances, and he did not look like a king who ruled the world. Instead, he looked like a playboy who was playing around in the world.

"Your Majesty, I heard you've been poisoned. Is it serious? Has the imperial physician come to see you? What exactly happened?"

The three consecutive questions demonstrated how nervous Gan Yanling was about her.

Her poison was cured yesterday, but because she didn't make a fuss, many people didn't even know she was poisoned. If it weren't for the big commotion caused today when she sent Zhao Wuji back, Gan Yanling would still be in the dark.

When Gan Luo saw Gan Yanling again, she felt a sense of closeness. However, when she heard Gan Yanling's inner thoughts, the warmth that had just risen was instantly extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

The imperial physician clearly said that my elder sister would need to sleep for at least a month, so how come she's recovered so quickly?

Coupled with his earnest and sincere face, it was utterly ridiculous.

It turns out that the poison that killed her was administered by the emperor himself. Ironically, even after being given a second chance at life, she still never doubted him.

Gan Luo's sudden coldness made Gan Yanling's heart tighten. He had been somewhat afraid of Gan Luo since he was a child, but he also relied on her a lot. However, his elder sister's power was growing, which made him worry.

"It's all over now. The doctor said it was just food poisoning. I'm sorry to have troubled Your Majesty to make the trip."

Seeing that her elder sister's expression had returned to its usual indifference, Gan Yanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "How could she have eaten something bad out of the blue? Was it because the servants weren't serving her well enough?"
