Chapter 229: Death
Chapter 229: Death
"What Your Highness says makes a lot of sense, but unfortunately, I will not be able to help Your Highness in the future."
When Hua Yu said this, there was a hint of desolation in her voice.
"Have you ever blamed me? If I hadn't arranged for you to be sent to a brothel, you would still be safe and sound, and you wouldn't be tormented by the Prime Minister."
Gan Luo asked Hua Yu with some doubt, but Hua Yu replied, "It is my honor to serve Her Highness the Princess. How could I possibly blame you?"
In truth, Hua Yu understood that Gan Luo had truly helped her a great deal, and she felt very gratified.
"I have only one request: I hope Your Highness will not allow Lin Ruohua to participate in dangerous missions. After all, Lin Ruohua is the daughter of Hua Yu's biological parents and can be considered Hua Yu's sister."
Even though Lin Ruohua was adopted by her biological parents, Hua Yu still felt that she was no different from a family member.
Gan Luo agreed.
Afterwards, Gan Luo decided to go to the Prime Minister's residence to inquire about some information.
Or perhaps it means to blow up the Prime Minister.
Gan Luo finally took Xu Jiu back, but the moment they entered the princess's residence, Xu Jiu coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground. Gan Luo quickly ordered someone to help him up, and Xu Jiu then told Gan Luo, "Your Highness, my time is coming to an end. I am truly grateful for Your Highness's care these past few days. I hope Your Highness will not forget the matter I just entrusted to you."
Both Green Bamboo and Jade Bamboo had tears in their eyes. They both sniffled, feeling incredibly sad. They never imagined things would develop to this point.
They had initially thought this person would live a good life, or even live a longer life, but now they discovered...
Gan Luo's eyes were bloodshot, but he had been enduring it all. After all, Hua Yu had followed Gan Luo for many years, working diligently and gathering a great deal of intelligence about the court for him. But now, Hua Yu was doing this because of the Prime Minister...
At this moment, Gan Luo felt a hint of killing intent in her heart. Even if the Prime Minister was her royal uncle, so what? As for Gan Luo, since they had provoked her, they shouldn't blame her for being ruthless.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this prime minister is going south. Because of the previous reception of the envoy from the neighboring country, the date has been postponed for almost a month. If it is postponed again, it will be inappropriate, won't it?
Gan Luo decided to first take care of Hua Yu's funeral arrangements. After that, he would then go and give the Prime Minister a good talking-to. Otherwise, the Prime Minister's repeated arrogance would ultimately be a major scourge to the court.
Upon hearing this, Lin Fengmian went to Gan Luo's side. Seeing Gan Luo's red eyes, he understood that Gan Luo was feeling somewhat sad. At this moment, Lin Fengmian couldn't help but wonder, if one day he were to leave Gan Luo, would Gan Luo also be sad for him?
Perhaps Gan Luo will be sad, or perhaps he won't.
After careful consideration, Gan Luo put all these thoughts aside. He turned his attention to Hua Yu and had someone change her into a nice outfit, while he himself did her makeup.
Gan Luo's makeup resembled that of an unmarried girl, since Hua Yu was still single.
Upon learning of this, Lin Ruohua immediately rushed back to the princess's residence, hoping to see Hua Yu one last time. However, she was shocked to learn that Hua Yu had already passed away, and a tear rolled down Lin Ruohua's cheek.
But Lin Ruohua quickly wiped away her tears and turned her gaze to Gan Luo. "Your Highness, has Hua Yu been freed?"
Gan Luo replied to Lin Ruohua that Hua Yu had already gained her freedom.
As long as Hua Yu gains freedom, then everything will be worthwhile for Lin Ruohua.
They are here to handle the funeral arrangements for Hua Yu. Gan Luo has ordered that the Princess's residence observe three days of mourning.
However, this matter came to the attention of the court officials, who flocked to the princess's residence. They gathered outside the gates to question Gan Luo. "Your Highness, His Majesty is still alive, why..."
Gan Luo was resting with her eyes closed in the courtyard when she heard a commotion outside. Feeling somewhat annoyed, she went straight to the gate of the princess's residence. Seeing the ministers there, her eyes showed a hint of displeasure. "What do I want to do? Do I need to inform you?"
For a moment, they all found Gan Luo terrifying and were startled. They had intended to say something, but in the end, they all kept their words to themselves.
The Prime Minister stepped forward first: "Your Highness, why have you hung these white cloths and such at the entrance of the Princess's residence?"
"And what does this have to do with you?"
Later, some ministers, having heard rumors, stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, subordinates are ultimately just subordinates. How can subordinates be expected to behave with such formalities? Your actions are going too far..."
At this moment, Gan Luo was extremely impatient. He directly drew the sword from Lin Fengmian's waist, walked up to the minister, and placed the sword against the minister's neck without hesitation.
The minister felt a chill run down his neck and involuntarily took a few steps back. He was filled with dread. "I have already told you," the minister said, "my patience is limited. If you continue to say these things, you can expect your head to roll."
The minister could feel blood seeping from his neck, and the other court officials were also shocked by Gan Luo's actions.
They had a lot more to say, but seeing Gan Luo's appearance, how could they dare to speak?
"I'm only giving you a dozen or so seconds. If you don't leave within those few seconds, don't blame me for being impolite."
Since there was no way to kill them all, it didn't mean that Gan Luo couldn't vent his anger on them.
These officials were terrified of Gan Luo, so they got up and ran away in a panic. Watching them run away in such a sorry state, Gan Luo laughed loudly. The officials in front of him thought Gan Luo was like a devil.
"Why should Your Highness bother with these people?" Lin Fengmian comforted Gan Luo, telling him not to get involved with these court officials.
Gan Luo then told Lin Fengmian, "I did not provoke them."
Gan Luo is free to do whatever he wants within the princess's residence, isn't that right?
But they insist on coming here to cause trouble, so don't blame Gan Luo for being impolite.
