The fake young lady, who was mistakenly swapped at birth into the Changping Marquisate, insisted on leaving the Marquisate to return home and become a village girl. The entire capital waited to see...
When Sheng Mingyu heard this, he immediately understood.
If this is really the case, and the investigation is traced back to Gu Yunni, I'm afraid she will not be able to escape the blame.
He rushed over and just saw Gu Yunni coming out after changing her clothes.
"Yun Ni, don't be anxious. Have you forgotten how you dealt with that female ghost in red that day? You've already pinned her down, and she didn't mention having any helpers."
Gu Yunni felt more at ease, a gentle smile on her lips, but she still shook her head, "It's hard to say. Whether it's that evil spirit or not, causing panic among the people is my business. Don't worry, I will be careful about everything."
Seeing the two of them so inseparable, the Imperial Master still had a question in his mind. "What are you two talking about? Why don't you tell me? Although I don't have as much power as the Crown Prince, I still have some say in front of His Majesty."
He always felt that this matter was not that simple. Was he going to have to face any big trouble?
He still had a lot of things to deal with, but he didn't have the energy to share any big things with Gu Yunni.
Gu Yunni thought for a moment. She had not originally intended to have anything to do with the Imperial Master, but since he had brought it to her on his own initiative, she naturally would not let it go.
A sly smile appeared on her lips as she looked over. "Oh! We have such a good relationship, when have I ever cheated you? Don't worry, if there really is a problem, I will bear the responsibility myself. Okay, take me to the scene quickly."
The old man followed Gu Yunni and the others without saying a word.
As they were getting closer to their home, he became excited and started chatting with Gu Yunni.
"Princess, this seems to be heading towards my home. Are you going to deal with that female ghost in red? I said we should deal with it sooner rather than later. Although the prince and princess are good to me, it's still more comfortable to live in my own home."
God knows how uncomfortable he has been living in the Prince's Mansion these past few days.
Those servants were very obedient and had always been taking care of him, but he was just an ordinary citizen. How could he possibly withstand such care?
It’s better to live a peaceful life.
He also didn't know how those dignitaries enjoyed themselves.
He was afraid that he would not go home again, so he got used to this feeling.
Gu Yunni looked embarrassed. She had originally wanted to hide it from the Imperial Master, but after what the old man said, she could no longer hide it.
"Your family?" The Imperial Master sensed something was amiss and his eyes widened. "I was wondering why you had to bring an elderly man with you, someone you didn't even know. So that's what's going on! You've come this far, and you're still trying to hide it from me?"
Gu Yunni felt a little embarrassed. She knew she was trying to trick the Imperial Master, so she quickly tried to explain, "Isn't this a matter of uncertainty? Don't worry, if it's truly my fault, I will confess before His Majesty and won't let you bear the consequences. Everyone has their own responsibility."
I finally met a like-minded friend and I don’t want to lose him.
Gu Yunni spoke frankly and looked at the Imperial Master with a serious look.
She really didn't intend to let the national teacher take responsibility, she just wanted to coax him to contribute, so she didn't tell him.
"Hmph!" The Imperial Master was very angry. He glanced at her but still said nothing.
After hearing what happened, the Imperial Master's face turned serious.
If this ghost could escape from Gu Yunni, it would definitely not be as easy as his men said.
"What kind of ghost did you encounter? Normal ghosts can't escape from your grasp, so what happened this time?"
Gu Yunni sighed deeply, "Alas, it's a fierce ghost that has been practicing for nearly a hundred years, and it seems to have learned some unorthodox skills."
She couldn't solve this kind of problem alone, and now that the Imperial Master already knew about it, there was no need for her to hide it.
Gu Yunni once again explained the cause and effect in detail, and connected the two things together.
"I had already suppressed it with a spell, and it couldn't leave the spot. I don't know who helped this evil spirit behind the scenes, allowing it to break free. Maybe it was because of this that so many little ghosts were attracted here."
She didn't want to admit that it was her negligence, but now she had already arrived at the old man's door, and even if she wanted to refute, she had no way to refute.
The Imperial Master glared at her again and again, as if she was not doing her best. "How dare you! You couldn't even tell me when you were in danger? Do you think I'm an outsider?"
It would be fine if she kept it a secret from me, as she could handle it, but now that things have become so serious, she still wants to keep it a secret.
If it hadn't been exposed, who knows how long it would have taken for her to tell the truth. I don't know what was going on in Gu Yunni's mind.
"I……"
Gu Yunni felt very embarrassed and avoided looking at the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master had a headache, not knowing what kind of personality Gu Yunni had.
I feel very embarrassed when I should feel embarrassed, but now I feel embarrassed when I should ask for help from myself.
"Alright! Why are you hesitating so much? Am I supposed to just sit there and do nothing?"
What's more, Sheng Mingyu was staring at him eagerly, so the Imperial Master had no choice but to agree to help.
Sheng Mingyu curled her lips and couldn't help but say, "That's right. Why do you keep making things difficult for Yun Ni? She has no experience, and she's not a national teacher. You should think of a way and see what to do."
The Imperial Master snorted and looked at Gu Yunni, "How strong is the red-clothed female ghost? Can you lure her out now? If the two of us can fight head-on, it will save us from other troubles."
It is more important for the national teacher to seize the time to solve the problem.
"Its cultivation is quite high, and coupled with its evil magic, I can't deal with it alone. I do have a way, but it requires risk."
The Imperial Master's words immediately attracted Gu Yunni's attention, and she started discussing with him.
When she saw the female ghost in red that day, she thought of countless ways, but none of them worked.
It just so happens that the Imperial Master is here now, so why not discuss it together? What if we can come up with a solution that is both simple and useful?
"The people are the most important, so taking risks is fine. But I can't risk anything without seeing that ghost. From what you've described, it's very powerful. If I can't see it, nothing I can do will work."
The Imperial Master nodded. On this point, he and Gu Yunni agreed.
But he also had his own ideas. Without seeing the female ghost, he was really unsure.
Gu Yunni thought for a moment, then turned to look at the old man. "Grandpa, did you hear what we were saying? We also want to help you solve this problem. This matter has become a big deal and must be resolved as soon as possible. Can you try to follow my method and lure out the female ghost? I will guarantee your safety."
Only this old man has a solution to this problem. If Gu Yunni were to come, she really wouldn't know what to do.
Although the female ghost in red had a grudge against him, she was not a fool.
