Sheng Mingyu has been trying her best to keep the rumors secret from Gu Yunni.

But when she has nothing to do, she will go out shopping, look at the eyes of people outside, and of course ask around.

Naturally, this rumor reached Gu Yunni's ears, and Gu Yunni held her breath!

"How could such a rumor be spread! Who on earth is so stupid as to dare to throw such dirty water on His Royal Highness? I can't even choose my own husband? Just because I was born with the destiny of a phoenix, I must marry the Crown Prince? Where does this make sense?"

Although she didn't want to rely on Sheng Mingyu, and didn't want to be referred to as the Crown Prince's Consort every time, she never thought of causing trouble for Sheng Mingyu.

It goes without saying that you know where this rumor came from and who is behind it!

"Princess, please don't be angry. It's just a few words. His Highness can handle it. He said you shouldn't be allowed out. If he knew, he might blame me again."

The personal maidservant beside Gu Yunni didn't take this matter seriously at all and kept comforting Gu Yunni.

How big of a deal was this? If their heir couldn't even handle this little trouble, what kind of man was he?

"I'm just angry. These people are really too overbearing. It's only been a short time since we last met, and the rumors are so outrageous."

Gu Yunni was so angry that her face turned blue. This was completely forcing herself.

She just wanted to marry someone with the Dragon's Fate, so what did these people know? They were trying to obstruct her in every possible way.

The rumors became more and more frightening, and naturally they were bound to spread into the palace.

No one would gossip in front of the emperor, but this concerns the crown prince and Sheng Mingyu, so it still needs to be reported.

"Your Majesty..." The eunuch was embarrassed and didn't know where to start. Talking about this matter seemed like an act of disrespecting one's superior.

If you make His Majesty unhappy, you might lose your head in the next second.

Everyone knows that His Majesty protects Sheng Mingyu like a treasure.

"What's the matter? Why are you being so hesitant? If you don't tell me, get out!"

The emperor frowned, a little impatient. He had a lot of government affairs to deal with recently, and he would devote himself to them whenever he had time.

Seeing the eunuchs below hesitating and stammering, he naturally felt unhappy, as it was equivalent to wasting his time.

"Your Majesty, there have been rumors circulating recently concerning His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Young Master. I am truly terrified!" The eunuch was a little nervous and did not dare to hesitate any longer. He directly said the final words. After all, he was just a messenger and any accidents that happened had nothing to do with him.

"Oh? What's going on?" The emperor raised his head from his desk, a little puzzled. "When did the two of them get involved again? Didn't they always have a bad relationship? If they can still become friends, then my son is really capable. As long as he has a good relationship with Sheng Mingyu, he will definitely assist him in the future."

The emperor had a very beautiful imagination. He knew that this was a difficult task, but they were still relatives after all. What if they could really play together?

Sheng Mingyu may have a somewhat rebellious character, but at least he is kind-hearted and has always been loyal to the court.

"No, Your Majesty, it's..." The eunuch was a little frightened this time. When he thought of the rumors outside, he felt that those people were risking their lives.

If I tell this to His Majesty, I wonder how furious he will be.

But he did not dare to hide it, and told the whole story clearly, including where the message was passed on.

The more the emperor listened, the uglier his expression became. He had thought his son had made some progress, but he didn't expect that he was still the same!

"presumptuous!"

The emperor slammed the table and stood up!

"Go and deal with the rumors out there. How dare you throw such dirty water on the Crown Prince? Don't I know whether the Crown Prince covets the throne? Then go and call the Crown Prince to me! I want to ask him what he wants to do! Slandering the Crown Prince a few days ago is not enough, why are these rumors still spreading? And call the Crown Prince as well!"

The emperor paced back and forth in the hall, unable to suppress the nameless anger in his heart.

With a son like this, how could he trust him to hand over his position to him after a hundred years? Why didn't he grow up with some brains!

Sheng Mingyu wasn't a member of the royal family, so how could he sit on the throne? The throne was still his, so why did he have to worry about such trivial matters?

Who knows, maybe Sheng Mingyu is more visionary than him and has the destiny to be an emperor!

"Yes." The eunuch went down trembling.

It seems that another dispute is about to occur, but I don’t know whether Sheng Mingyu or the prince will win this time?

But there is no need to speculate too much. As long as Sheng Mingyu has never thought of usurping the throne, His Majesty will always be partial to him.

Sheng Mingyu and Du Changming received the news at the same time and went to the palace together. Sheng Mingyu had nothing to do and didn't worry about it at all, but Du Changming was very nervous, but there was also a hint of expectation in his heart.

He always felt that he might be able to defeat Sheng Mingyu this time, but he was also very afraid that the emperor would take sides without asking any questions, just like he did in the past.

"Have you seen what the Emperor's attitude is? Do I need to make any preparations? You must not make the Emperor angry. Also, is the Emperor in a good mood today? Did he mention anything that made him unhappy?"

Du Changming has been talking non-stop all the way, asking this and that.

The one who came to invite him today was the emperor's personal eunuch, so he should understand how the emperor felt.

From these few sentences, he could also guess what situation he would encounter today.

"Your Highness, there's no need to be nervous. His Majesty simply ordered this servant to come and invite you. How can a humble servant like me dare to guess His Majesty's mood? You'll know exactly what His Majesty is going to do when you get there. However, since you're His Majesty's biological son, His Majesty won't do anything."

The eunuch was complaining in his heart, but he didn't dare to reveal a word to Du Changming, for fear that he might say something wrong.

He was also afraid that if he spoke too much, he would bring about another fatal disaster. Both father and son were not easy to mess with. One had been sitting on the throne for too long and was domineering, while the other was extremely cunning and ruthless.

"Is that so? Then I'll trouble you, Eunuch Liu."

Du Changming smiled a little awkwardly, but didn't ask any further questions. He felt that the matter shouldn't be that serious.

And judging from Eunuch Liu's attitude, my father might not be angry with me.

"Why hasn't it arrived in such a long time? These two are acting like they're superiors and don't even take my orders seriously!"

The emperor had been waiting in the hall for a long time and gradually lost his patience. These two boys were too disobedient.

"Your Majesty, please don't be anxious. Even if Eunuch Liu invites someone as quickly as possible, he will have to wait a while. You have already given the order. No matter how bold the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince are, they dare not do anything in vain."
