Du Changming didn't dwell too much on Gu Yunni's affairs and quickly stated his purpose.

The most important thing now is to gain Gu Yunni's favor, and then bring up this matter in front of my father.

As long as Gu Yunni likes him, it is natural for the two of them to be together.

"Really? When did you care about the people? Do you even know where this sect is? Who helped you? Tell me the truth. If you did it yourself, I will help you. If you didn't do it alone, the credit should be returned to them."

Originally, the emperor didn't have much hope, but when he heard what Du Changming said, he was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't expect that my son would actually do something serious.

It seems that all these years of cultivation have not been completely useless.

However, the emperor was still a little wary because he heard that Du Changming had been with Sheng Mingyu these days.

If Sheng Mingyu had also intervened, the credit would not belong to Du Changming, as he would have treated the two of them the same.

If it was Sheng Mingyu's credit, he would never allow Du Changming to take it away.

After hearing what the emperor said, Du Changming's face immediately fell. "What do you mean, father? Do I need help from outsiders? You must have investigated my whereabouts in the past few days, right? What is so good about the prince that he deserves your constant concern? Now all the suggestions I put forward are attributed to him?"

He was not a fool, so he could naturally understand the hidden meaning. Combined with what the emperor said when he first entered the palace, he understood what was going on and felt dissatisfied.

He seemed to be living in Sheng Mingyu's shadow, unable to escape at any time.

"I was just asking casually, why are you so angry? I am your father, not your servant."

The emperor's face was not looking good either. He could question the prince, but he would never allow his son to yell at him.

Have all the etiquette I learned over the years been lost to me?

The emperor knew it was his fault, but he had been sitting on the throne for too long and could not bow his head.

He had no choice but to give Du Changming what he wanted first, which was to be considered as giving in. "Alright, since you said this idea was yours alone, then do whatever you want. I will lend you the army, but there are conditions. You must explain everything to me from beginning to end, and the army must be returned to me in the end. You cannot take control of it privately."

Du Changming's temper also calmed down, and he was no longer as aggressive as before. "Yes, I will obey your command."

Only now did he feel a little scared. He suddenly realized that the sound he had just shouted was indeed quite loud.

This is an act of insubordination. If it weren't for his father's love for him, he would have been beheaded by now.

After he left politely, the emperor sat in his seat and pondered.

This son's temperament is really different from his.

Why is he so impatient? He has always been gentle and polite since he was a child. Whether he is treating people around him or the emperor, he has never lost his temper so much.

At this time, the emperor thought of Sheng Mingyu again. Sheng Mingyu's temper was exactly the same as his own.

Du Changming left the palace complacently. This time he fulfilled Gu Yunni's wish, which would definitely make her admire him.

He had already thought about how to show off in front of Sheng Mingyu.

Even if he was favored, what would it matter? As long as Sheng Mingyu didn't sit on the throne of the crown prince, there were many privileges that he would never be able to enjoy.

Gu Yunni did not just do one thing. After arranging the prince's affairs, she turned around and went to the shop.

Before leaving, he reminded Sheng Mingyu, "When there's news from the Crown Prince, go to the shop and let me know. I need to go check it out first. I haven't been there for a few days, and it's probably in a mess. Plus, the business might be piling up, so I need to take care of it."

But Gu Yunni felt a little strange when she saw the new look of the store.

She has never been in the mood to run the store these days. Who is so thoughtful to help her take care of everything?

Just when Gu Yunni was wondering which snail girl it was, Sheng Mingyu walked out from the back of the shop with a smile on his face.

"Surprised, right? I know you've been very busy these days and don't have the energy to meddle in these trivial matters, so I'll have someone take care of it for you. Come and see if there's anything else you're not satisfied with, and I'll have them clean it up again."

Seeing Gu Yunni's surprise, he was also very happy.

"Okay." Gu Yunni had a sincere smile on her face.

This man really cares about himself.

If her future life would be as good as this, she really hoped that Sheng Mingyu could stay by her side forever.

Gu Yunni did not disappoint Sheng Mingyu's expectations. She walked around the store and observed the surrounding environment.

She found that this shop was more elaborate than her previous one, and even had a rest room added.

It seems that he has put a lot of thought into this aspect.

"That's right, but how can you, as a prince, handle these small details so well? Do you have a military advisor?" Gu Yunni was not stingy with her praise.

Sheng Mingyu raised the corner of his mouth, and said in a very arrogant tone, "How could it be? This is all my own idea. If there is anything you don't like, ask them to change it. Don't let yourself be wronged."

Gu Yunni had no objection. Sheng Mingyu's preparations were too thorough, and she was not the kind of person who would find fault.

As long as the environment is similar and does not conflict with her habits, she will accept it.

"They're all good, exactly what I want. During this time spent with you, you've understood my feelings very clearly. By the way, has anyone come to see me these days?"

Sheng Mingyu didn't hide anything from Gu Yunni and told her what had happened in the past few days. "Yes, a subordinate reported that the elderly family you mentioned earlier came to see you. It was his son who came, but you were too busy at the time, so I sent him away. Do you want to go and take a look? I've asked around, and it seems like it's a ghost haunting again."

Sheng Mingyu was not present at the time. He only knew that this was the response from his subordinates, so he had to repeat it to Gu Yunni word for word.

He knew that Gu Yunni cared about the old man and would definitely be angry if something really went wrong.

Gu Yunni nodded without saying anything. She packed up the things she needed to take with her and walked towards the house.

Sheng Mingyu didn't know much about this business, so naturally he didn't understand whether other people were anxious or not.

Now that I know it, I should go there as quickly as possible.

If there is any accident, maybe we can take action now.

"Ms. Gu, you're finally here. Have you finished your business? If not, I'll take care of your business first."
