"Since you are so anxious, I will find someone and you can ask him."

After a while, the person was brought in.

He was still dressed in black and knelt beside Gu Yunni politely.

Gu Yunni didn't ask him to get up, but told him the whole story.

"I came here today to ask you something. It's at Nanshan Temple outside the city..."

The man fell into deep thought, frowning, and after she finished speaking, his expression relaxed slightly.

There was hope in Gu Yunni's eyes.

"You've raised a demon in Nanshan Temple before? Why would you raise such an evil creature? If you were powerful enough, you could raise it for life, but what if it breaks free and wreaks havoc on the world?"

Gu Yunni's tone was so stern that even Du Changming was startled. He looked at the people below with sharp eyes. How could he not know that such a thing existed?

"The Crown Princess has misunderstood. The evil spirit you are talking about was not raised by me, but by my former master. It's just that my master died suddenly, and the evil spirit disappeared without a trace. At that time, my master and I lived behind Nanshan Temple."

The man received Du Changming's look and quickly answered.

If Gu Yunni hadn't mentioned it, he would have long forgotten his past worldly affairs.

"Your master?"

Gu Yunni sounded confused, but also understood.

At that time, she doubted that the person in front of her was capable of raising such a powerful ghost.

"Then why couldn't you find the evil spirit when you lived in the mountains behind Nanshan Temple for a while? This evil spirit reappeared in the world and possessed the daughter of the Minister of Revenue in Nanshan Temple."

"I don't know much about this kind of thing. My master died suddenly and left no money. I wanted to go to Kyoto to find a job, but I ended up being a beggar. Later, I was saved by His Highness and have never returned to that place."

No matter what Gu Yunni asked, the man just shook his head, which made her feel annoyed.

Du Changming watched from the side and said in a deep voice, "He didn't lie to you. He couldn't find a job in Kyoto because of his mysterious skills. People were unwilling to accept him."

"Okay... then I won't make it any harder for you."

After hearing Du Changming come out to explain, Gu Yunni didn't say anything more.

Although Du Changming is a habitual liar, there is no benefit for Du Changming to lie in this matter.

"Is this matter very difficult? Do you want his help? Since it is related to him, he might have a way to solve it and save you the headache."

Du Changming looked so affectionate that Gu Yunni couldn't even hide from him, so how could she possibly use his people?

"No, I'll go with the Imperial Master, so there's no need to trouble you."

If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, she would need to consider every factor and would not want to have any contact with Du Changming at all.

"Well, if you have anything else to say, you're welcome."

Du Changming sent Gu Yunni out, and the two got along quite well until they saw Sheng Mingyu in the front hall. The atmosphere suddenly changed like lightning, and became solemn and murderous.

"Your Highness is so free. I thought you would be busy with court affairs, but I didn't expect you to have time to be with the Crown Princess. It's no wonder you like her. You are really patient."

As soon as the two of them opened their mouths, sparks flew between their words.

"Seventh Prince, you're too kind. If you like a woman, you naturally want to be with her all the time. Not everyone is like you, constantly causing trouble for others, like a dog-skin plaster that can't be shaken off."

Gu Yunni was very helpless, and the national teacher also hid aside to watch the show and did not want to get involved.

"Maybe everyone likes different ways. What I did wasn't a bad thing. At least I indirectly helped Yun Ni. Unlike His Royal Highness, he only talks but doesn't do much."

"Flattery."

Sheng Mingyu curled up the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic smile, unwilling to waste any more words with Du Changming.

No matter how well he did, it was not worth mentioning in Du Changming's eyes, and there was no point in saying more.

Gu Yunni interrupted with a frown, showing no patience for Du Changming. "I've finished asking about today's affairs. I won't bother you any more. Seventh Prince, just stay under house arrest. Behave yourself in the future, and maybe you'll be able to come out soon."

This person only looks like a human being on the surface. How many disgusting things has he planned behind the scenes? Does he really think I don't know?

The few of them left without saying much nonsense.

Only after their backs disappeared did Du Changming return to the house with the people around him.

He frowned and asked unhappily, "Why have I never heard you mention what you said today? If the things in the past are useful, you must tell me, just like the evil spirits today. If they don't find them, they can be used by me."

The man in front of him immediately knelt on the ground and hastily admitted his mistake. "Master, I really forgot about this matter. Who would have thought that his evil spirit was still there? And it came out to harm the people. If I had known in advance, I would have told you."

He felt very wronged and was also confused.

"You should remember that I was running around for food that day and was almost starving to death. How could I have the time to remember these things? I really didn't mean to hide this from you. Please punish me, Master."

After he finished explaining, he slammed his head on the ground.

He knew Du Changming's character very well. Facts were not important, attitude was what mattered.

"Alright! I don't want what happened today to happen again. If you hide anything from me again, please leave the house and don't show up again."

"yes."

Du Changming waved his hand, and the man turned and left, leaving him alone in the room in deep thought.

As soon as Gu Yunni returned to the Prince's Mansion, she saw several guards coming towards her in a panic. Their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling as they spoke.

"Princess, you're finally back. The west side of the city is haunted again. I heard it's even worse this time than the last time, and several civilians have died!"

"Yes! Those people looked like they had their blood sucked out. Their deaths were extremely horrific!"

The Imperial Master also heard this and immediately frowned with an unpleasant expression, "How could such a big thing suddenly happen in the west of the city?"

"We didn't know either. Today, the matter has reached His Majesty's ears, and His Majesty has summoned you two to the palace."

The two of them shrank their necks and quickly stated their ultimate goal for the day.

Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master looked at each other, not daring to delay, and immediately put down their affairs and went into the palace.

"Today's incident is no small matter. Now that it has reached His Majesty's ears, he might be held accountable. He entrusted the safety of Kyoto to you, and yet there are still little devils causing trouble. You should think about how to deal with it first. I will cover for you."

Sheng Mingyu was calmer than the other two and analyzed the situation as quickly as possible.

Even though he is favored by His Majesty, he still has to bow his head when it comes to matters concerning the people.

"Alas, we have a duty to perform. We cannot escape the blame for the injuries to civilians, not to mention the loss of life. We should first think about how to explain it. His Majesty is not easy to fool."

The Imperial Master nodded in agreement, feeling very annoyed.

I was so anxious yesterday just to prevent things from getting out of hand, but in the end I still couldn't control it.
