Chapter 53: Admiration
Wait a minute... Shangguan Mufeng suddenly realized why he had such thoughts.
Could it be that Shangguan Mufeng has already fallen in love with Gan Luo?
Before this, it was just some admiration.
Shangguan Mufeng hurriedly suppressed all his thoughts.
He absolutely cannot have such thoughts about Gan Luo.
She and Gan Luo were already on different levels. If she had such thoughts about Gan Luo and Gan Luo found out, she would definitely be expelled from the princess's residence.
In fact, Shangguan Mufeng really wanted to know why Gan Luo, who was not that kind of person at all, would do such a thing just to cover up his true intentions.
On the other side, Lin Fengmian was a little surprised. He had clearly said twenty strokes of the cane, so why had he only received fifteen?
"This is what Her Highness the Princess ordered. If Guard Lin wants to know, he can ask Her Highness the Princess."
However, those fifteen strokes of the cane did indeed wake Lin Fengmian up.
I was clearly slightly intoxicated here, but that feeling has completely disappeared now.
Lin Fengmian, leaning on the sword in his hand, walked forward.
Once back in his room, he decided to change his clothes.
Lin Fengmian didn't expect that before he could even change his clothes, he would hear a shout: "Her Highness the Princess has arrived!"
Lin Fengmian couldn't help but think that the princess's arrival was just too timely.
Lin Fengmian was in a sorry state, and there was some blood behind him.
If I were to meet the princess in this manner, wouldn't I be offending her eyes?
But if he said he wouldn't go to see the princess, that would be extremely disrespectful.
In the end, I simply went sideways.
Lin Fengmian went outside to greet Gan Luo.
Gan Luo, with a cold expression, sized up Lin Fengmian.
"I specially sent someone to invite the imperial physicians to come and examine your injury."
Gan Luo finished speaking abruptly and then turned to look at the imperial physician behind him.
The imperial physician was startled, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be in deep trouble.
For some reason, the princess sent someone directly to the palace to invite him out.
The imperial physician initially thought it was the princess who had met with misfortune, but it turned out to be just a guard.
This guard actually looks like Gan Luo. What kind of background does he have that he's in such a hurry?
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Lin Fengmian, which made sense.
Lin Fengmian felt that his injury was not very serious and was about to refuse, but Gan Luo's eyes were too sharp.
Lin Fengmian was startled and could only remain silent as the imperial physician examined him.
"Guard Lin is in good health. While an ordinary person would need ten days to half a month to recuperate, Guard Lin only needs three days to recuperate now."
Gan Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he only needed to rest for three days.
"Someone, go to the small kitchen and bring over a bowl of hangover soup."
The maids looked at each other, wondering who had been drinking.
But they didn't dare ask any more questions and could only slink away to the small kitchen.
They all started talking quietly as soon as they arrived outside.
"Why do you think Her Highness asked us to prepare a hangover soup?"
"Has Your Highness been drinking?"
The maid next to her knocked on the maid dressed in purple.
"You're really silly. Did you smell any alcohol on Her Highness just now? That was obviously Young Master Lin."
It turned out that Lin Fengmian had been drinking. I didn't expect Gan Luo to take such good care of Lin Fengmian.
"Do you think His Highness has fallen for Guard Lin?"
Upon hearing this, the maid in pink couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You must be joking. How could His Highness possibly be in love with Lin Fengmian? What kind of person is Lin Fengmian?"
“It seems that what you said does make a lot of sense. Lin Fengmian is just a guard, with such a lowly status, while Her Highness the Princess has an extremely noble status.”
Even if an emperor has an empress, the empress's status may not be as precious as that of a princess.
Shangguan Mufeng overheard them discussing these matters as they walked.
"Don't gossip behind other people's backs. If I hear you gossiping about others again, don't blame me for telling His Highness about it, so that His Highness can deal with you."
They heard Shangguan Mufeng's voice, turned around, and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
“Young master, we know we were wrong. Please do not tell the princess about these things. If we do, we will surely die.”
Shangguan Mufeng merely gave them a warning and then told them to leave.
On the other side, the imperial physician prescribed several doses of medicine for Lin Fengmian, and also prescribed topical ointment.
Gan Luo then dispatched everyone in the house to their respective posts.
Only Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian remained. Lin Fengmian looked at Gan Luo, somewhat at a loss.
Lin Fengmian's eyes kept darting around, and Gan Luo cleverly noticed that Lin Fengmian was probably a little embarrassed.
"I am very curious to know why you went drinking. I hope you can tell me yourself."
“Your Highness, you may ask me anything, and I will tell you anything, but there is one thing I will not tell you.”
If Gan Luo found out that I was jealous, wouldn't that be...?
This time, Gan Luo was very clever. He successfully activated his mind-reading ability and knew Lin Fengmian's inner thoughts.
It turned out that Lin Fengmian was jealous, which was why he was sullen and went to drink alone.
Gan Luo, beaming with joy, then told Lin Fengmian to take off his clothes.
"Your Highness, you mustn't! You are of noble birth, while I am but a lowly person. How can Your Highness personally apply medicine to me?"
Gan Luo felt that Lin Fengmian was extremely indecisive, and in that instant, he felt that Lin Fengmian was like a woman.
"This isn't the first time I've applied medicine to you, why are you dawdling like this? If you keep dawdling like this, I'm afraid you'll end up with the male supporting character..."
Before Gan Luo could finish speaking, Lin Fengmian took off his shirt and lay down on the bed.
Gan Luo walked up to Lin Fengmian and saw the marks on Lin Fengmian's back, feeling a pang of heartache.
"Why are you humiliating yourself here? I'm not really going to Chengdu to see you."
If Lin Fengmian hadn't personally gone to the Punishment Pavilion, Gan Luo would never have harmed him.
Ke Lin Fengmian has already gone there and has volunteered to receive twenty lashes.
Gan Luo had no choice but to agree, and at the same time reduced the punishment by five strokes.
This will silence any criticism.
This will prevent everyone from thinking that Gan Luo is too biased.
What should you do if you feel unbalanced in your heart?
Gan Luo is no fool.
Gan Luo placed the wound medicine on Lin Fengmian's injured area.
Lin Fengmian hissed in pain.
"I'd like to know if you'll dare to act so recklessly next time!"
