She was also confused. Did the royal family have so many twists and turns? To casually swap the princes was a capital crime.

"I don't know, but I know this person has bad intentions. He's probably related to the Crown Prince. Otherwise, why would he exchange you with him?"

"Do you think it could be the prince and princess? What if they have evil intentions and want their son to sit on the throne?"

Sheng Mingyu's suspicion also aroused Gu Yunni's curiosity.

"Of course it's possible. You don't have a good relationship with your parents. However, the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Prince and Princess has been quite good over the years."

There are only a few people who can do this, and they are related to the prince. It is not difficult to guess.

It just depends on whether Sheng Mingyu is willing to believe it.

Sheng Mingyu didn't dwell on it for too long and put the matter behind him.

"Forget it, let's not think about it anymore. This prince has never been favored since he was a child. The only love he received was from the emperor. Otherwise, why would this prince be close to him since he was a child? It turns out they are really father and son."

From childhood to adulthood, the things he has faced have made him accustomed to all kinds of variables.

Not to mention that he is now the emperor's son, he can accept it even if he is told that he is not a member of the royal family.

What Sheng Mingyu was most anxious about was the things at hand. Only after finishing these things could he feel at ease to deal with the things in Kyoto.

"Let's get back to Master and that master of the mystical arts. Do you have any plans? We can't just wait for the other side to take action. Should we take some measures?"

Since Gu Yunni was involved in this, he had to finish it even if it was difficult.

Speaking of this matter, which concerns the people, Gu Yunni became serious, "Didn't you ask someone to investigate? We can only wait for news. If they can find out, that would be great. If not, we will be passive."

Sheng Mingyu smiled helplessly, "Yes, we have someone investigating, but at least they need to have a direction. They are just wandering around outside now. Can they really find anything useful?"

Gu Yunni thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so she suggested, "Then let's look for it in the mountains. The area is so small anyway, and we have already arranged most of the people, so we should look further away."

After the work was done, the two chatted for a while and then went on with their own business.

Gu Yunni could see that Sheng Mingyu was in a bad mood, and it was only because of her presence that he was holding on.

Anyuan County and Kyoto are too close, so the carrier pigeon took less than three hours to reach Du Changming.

He was very excited.

"Any news?"

"Yes, it was sent by Marquis Changping. The message came so quickly, it must be something big." The subordinate handed over the letter.

Du Changming couldn't wait to open the letter, hoping that Marquis Changping could bring him good news and not cause trouble.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust the Marquis of Changping, but he is very stupid in doing things in Kyoto. He doesn’t know if he can become smarter if he goes to Anyuan County?

The eunuchs around did not dare to speak, for fear of displeasing Du Changming.

Whenever it comes to Sheng Mingyu, he gets very irritable.

Not long after, Du Changming burst into laughter and clapped his hands.

"Alright, alright! The Marquis of Changping is indeed formidable. I've said that it's right to hand this matter over to him. After all, he still has the advantage of his father's status."

As long as there is progress, it's fine. What he is afraid of is that there is no progress at all and someone still has the nerve to send him news.

"Your Highness, please read the contents of this letter. Is there anything we can do? The Marquis of Changping is isolated and helpless. If you truly need help, I think it's feasible."

Du Changming did not hide it. If he wanted to accomplish this task, he couldn't do it alone and needed the help of his subordinates.

"What's with the immortality elixir? I think he's crazy. But I can find trouble with Sheng Mingyu about this matter. It's feasible."

Du Changming did not think he was very smart. He was able to hold on to this position only because he relied on his subordinates to do things.

If he causes trouble for Sheng Mingyu in this matter, he will be held accountable when he returns to Beijing, and then he, the crown prince, will still be the one who is valued.

The counselor frowned, his face filled with suspicion. "Elixir of immortality? Your Highness, you must remember the lesson from the past. Try not to get involved in such matters. His Majesty hates anything that harms the people for personal gain."

He was very suspicious. Could it be that the Marquis of Changping wanted to drag the prince into trouble and came up with such a bad idea?

"Of course I know, but as long as I can drag Sheng Mingyu into this, I can make up for it. Isn't the emperor's attitude towards me because of him?"

Du Changming was really ruthless and didn't care whether it would hurt the emperor's feelings.

As long as I can keep my position, nothing else matters.

He had already thought about all the consequences. After all, he was still a prince. Even if his father was really angry, he would not take his life.

With this little bit of favor, he can compete with Sheng Mingyu.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Once this is done, I'll go over and explain it myself."

The counselor frowned, but couldn't help but offer a few more words of advice, "Your Highness, if you truly trust me, then reconsider. The Marquis of Changping may be doing this for your own good, but he also has his own selfish motives."

He knew the prince's temper and knew that he might be punished, but he had to say it.

He tried to persuade Du Changming earnestly and earnestly, and as long as Du Changming had a brain, he would know that he should not get involved in this matter.

"We've discussed the immortality elixir before. It's simply impossible, so why fall into this trap? His Highness can always solve it, but if something happens to you, we won't be able to protect you."

Du Changming was also struggling, but he just couldn't resist the greed in his heart.

Just let yourself be willful for once. At worst, you can gamble with the position of crown prince.

He couldn't sit still and feel at ease until he dealt with Sheng Mingyu.

"Just this once! Can't you just let me be willful this time? I've suffered too much injustice at the hands of Sheng Mingyu before, and I want to get back at him once."

The dying man cannot be persuaded, and the counselor is unwilling to waste his energy. He might as well use this time to find another client.

"Alright! Since Your Highness already knows the consequences, I won't try to persuade you any further. Do whatever you want, as long as you can handle it."

The two of them had easy access to each other, and Marquis Changping didn't have to wait long before he received Du Changming's reply.

There is only one thing to say - kill Sheng Mingyu at all costs.

When Marquis Changping saw these words, his eyes lit up.

I can finally officially try my hand at the elixir of immortality.

Marquis Changping was so excited that he ran straight to his advisor when he got the news.

After receiving the reply, the lawyer felt much more at ease and began to negotiate terms with the Marquis of Changping.

"My Lord, since you want to help me, shouldn't you think of the most stable method for me? At least you have to fool the prince and his men, otherwise I really can't do anything."

Since the person behind the scenes is unwilling to let him go, no matter how powerful the Marquis of Changping is, he cannot ignore the words of the person behind the scenes.
