Gu Yunni smiled and said that she would need Du Changming a lot in the future, so it would be better for them not to fall out for the time being.

And they really did help me.

Du Changming felt a little regretful for saying such serious words, but fortunately Gu Yunni apologized.

But he still held his own identity in check, "That's true... But since you doubted me, you must make amends. After all these things are dealt with, you can accompany me on a boat trip to the lake. This will be your apology."

Du Changming casually proposed a condition, and Sheng Mingyu was so angry that his face turned blue.

But Gu Yunni pressed his hand and agreed, "Okay, then this servant will respectfully welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

This is not a big deal. She can control herself and will not do anything inappropriate with the prince.

Du Changming was in a better mood, and looked at Sheng Mingyu with a provocative look, "Okay."

He returned to the East Palace with his palace maids. He had to plan what to do that day.

Sheng Mingyu didn't say a word along the way and his attitude towards Gu Yunni was much colder.

He was so angry that he almost died. What on earth was Gu Yunni thinking? Why did she agree to Du Changming's condition?

"Don't be angry!" Gu Yunni had just learned how to coax people and was still a little embarrassed, but no matter how she pushed, Sheng Mingyu just wouldn't move.

She was furious for a moment. "At most, I can explain it to you. If you just keep silent, how can I know what to say? Your Highness, please be magnanimous and don't bother with me anymore."

The tone was still good, even with a hint of coquettishness.

Sheng Mingyu's expression could no longer hold back. "Alright! Tell me, my prince, why are you so close to the Crown Prince? When did you become so close? My prince is your fiancé, how can you agree to everything he asks?"

Although his tone was bad, it was obvious that he forgave her. He just wanted a reason.

Gu Yunni always thinks about Sheng Mingyu, and takes him into consideration even for such a small matter.

"Because I treat the prince as a tool, don't you understand? There are many things that are inconvenient for you to handle due to your status, so let the prince do it. You two will be on opposite sides in the future, so why not take this opportunity to strike him down."

She just wanted Sheng Mingyu to succeed in seizing the throne. Since his fate was to be the emperor, he could never escape it.

What we are doing now is just advance preparation, which can at least prevent him from getting hurt less.

"You... Yun Ni, this prince likes you more and more, what should I do?"

Sheng Mingyu's anger just now became calm at this moment, and there was a touch of emotion in his eyes when he looked at Gu Yunni.

He never thought that Gu Yunni was actually thinking about him.

She never thought that he was included in all her plans.

So what does it mean that he is throwing a tantrum now?

"Whether it's cooperation or personal feelings, I'm on your side, don't worry."

Sheng Mingyu felt a little embarrassed about what he said to Gu Yunni.

In her mind, this kind of thing was normal, but seeing Sheng Mingyu's moved expression, she knew that something was a little abnormal.

She also realized that something seemed to be quietly sprouting in her heart.

"Okay, let's go back home quickly. I still have a lot of things to prepare, and I haven't forgotten His Majesty's promise." Gu Yunni quickly changed the subject and didn't want to continue the previous topic.

She didn't know what embarrassing words Sheng Mingyu would say next, and she suddenly wanted to escape.

Sheng Mingyu was laughing like a fool beside her. He couldn't hear what Gu Yunni was saying at all and just agreed to everything.

After Sheng Mingyu and others left the palace, only the imperial teacher was left in the palace by the emperor. The moment he stepped out of the palace gate, he was stopped by someone.

The imperial teacher went back without complaint and listened to the emperor's complaints.

The emperor was getting older and older, and there were fewer and fewer people around him whom he could trust. He was only willing to speak his truth to the imperial teacher.

"Grand Master! I know your abilities and character. I'm just angry. You know what those two kids have done for Gu Yunni. How can I not be angry?"

The Imperial Master was extremely respectful, and although what he said was the truth, he also used a lot of honorifics, which sounded fake.

"Yes, the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince are blessed by fate. Everything will have an outcome in the end. This has nothing to do with Gu Yunni. Your Majesty, don't worry. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It's better to let it go."

The emperor couldn't help but frown. Was the Imperial Master still angry with him? Otherwise, why was he so serious?

"Are you still unhappy? You can tell me." The emperor continued with a good temper.

Many things depend on the imperial teacher, and even he cannot be offended easily.

"Look at Gu Yunni, how dare a little girl like that speak like that? What's the harm in saying a few words? It's just to curb her temper, not to make things difficult for her." When the emperor said this, his mood became a little uneasy, and his tone was full of contempt.

Gu Yunni's strong-willed look just now did attract his attention, but maybe he had too many ideas in his mind, and he always felt that women should not be so proud and should be inferior to men.

Even at this time, the imperial teacher was refuting the emperor.

"There is no gender distinction in the world. Your Majesty is mistaken. As long as Gu Yunni has the ability and can do more for the people, it will be a blessing for the people and also Your Majesty's good fortune to have such a capable person. Even I, a humble servant, have to say that Gu Yunni's use of the mysterious arts is truly superb."

He could allow the emperor to cause trouble elsewhere, but gender was not a reason.

People with abilities should be respected. We cannot erase all her achievements just because she is a woman.

"Yes! The Imperial Master is right. I should also change my mind." The emperor was speechless and tried hard to suppress his temper before expressing his thoughts.

He was right in thinking, but all men in the world thought the same way, and he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

The emperor was unwilling to continue arguing with the imperial teacher over the matter of Gu Yunni. It was a joke to argue with his favorite minister over a woman.

"Then let's see how Gu Yunni resolves today's matter. If she completes it well, I will keep my word. If she is just talking big, I will not tolerate it. What you say in front of me must be done."

The Imperial Master stood aside, remaining silent. He was a subject to begin with, and saying these words to the Emperor had already crossed the line. Continuing to say more would only make the Emperor even more unhappy.

Even if he wanted to seek justice for Gu Yunni, he would not do such an impulsive thing.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Remember the fate between the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince that I told you about last time? Would you mind telling me this time if the Crown Prince has the fate of being the Supreme Emperor? Is he fit to sit on the throne?"
