Looking at Sheng Mingyu like this, Gu Yunni actually found it somewhat amusing, and secretly sighed in her heart that with Sheng Mingyu by her side, there would definitely be no more problems.

No more worries.

However, Li Zhiqing on the bed still showed no signs of waking up.

As they were leaving, Sheng Mingyu couldn't help but ask, "Lord Li loves her very much and treats her like the apple of his eye. If she were to become unconscious while playing with you, he would definitely be furious. Is there any way to wake her up first?"

Gu Yunni shook her head.

When evil spirits invade, it is impossible to wake up before the evil spirits are eliminated.

Thinking of this, she sighed, "Unless we completely eradicate the evil spirit in the middle of the lake, but this will take time."

Before Gu Yunni finished speaking, she realized that she had let the cat out of the bag. She stuck out her tongue and followed behind obediently without saying anything else.

For some reason, Sheng Mingyu's heart melted when he saw Gu Yunni like this.

She is quirky and usually looks cold, but she becomes more gentle when she is with me.

This feeling is hard to describe, but Sheng Mingyu enjoys it very much.

"Should we send a few more people over? It'll be safer if they accompany us along the way."

Gu Yunni spread her hands and said, "No need."

Having more people would just mean giving away lives.

The two went boating on the lake and were seen by a mysterious man in the dark.

The mysterious man following behind saw the two people get on the boat, frowned slightly, and quickly came to the Prince's Palace.

"Your Highness, we were on patrol just now and saw His Highness and Gu Yunni boarding the boat for a stroll."

Everyone knows what it means when a man and a woman go boating alone on the lake.

At that moment, Du Changming's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were filled with fire.

I never dreamed that he would actually dare to compete with me.

"I am the crown prince of the current dynasty. How dare he, a prince, compete with me for a woman? This is a huge joke!"

Seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so angry, the people following behind him didn't dare to say anything. They fell to their knees with a bang, feeling panicked.

They were afraid that the prince would not be able to contain his anger and would kill them.

Du Changming's next words scared them half to death, "The lake is not peaceful. If two people fell into the lake, and one was rescued and the other was not, it can only be said to be a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, and no one else can be blamed!"

Upon hearing this, the masked eunuch's expression changed instantly, with a hint of fear and uneasiness in his eyes. He quickly raised his head and looked at Du Changming.

"Your Highness, you absolutely cannot do this. As the saying goes, patience brings peace. His Majesty hasn't given a clear response, which means anything is possible. You can't really assassinate His Highness just because of a momentary anger. If this matter is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous. You are the Master of the Eastern Palace and the future King. Why do you have to confront His Highness?"

The young eunuch tried to persuade him carefully, hoping that the other party would understand the importance of the matter, otherwise once he took action, there would be no turning back.

But Du Changming had gone completely crazy, so how could he listen to what the other party said?

He just snorted coldly, then said: "Your Highness, I will say it again, lead your men to ambush immediately."

After hearing this, no one dared to say another word and quickly took a few people to ambush.

The people behind hurriedly caught up and arrived near the lake. They originally thought that the two people should be nearby.

But I never dreamed that the two of them would just go into the lake, get on the boat straight and run towards the center of the lake.

"How do we chase them?" If we were on land, everything would be easy.

But in the water, firstly, they had no way of reaching the other party's boat, and secondly, if they followed too closely, they would definitely be noticed by the other party.

After thinking about it, I could only stand blankly by the lake.

"Don't be impatient, just wait here in ambush! I believe they will disembark soon, and it will still be in time for us to take action then!"

Everyone didn't say anything more and hid nearby, preparing for an ambush.

Soon, the boat reached the middle of the lake.

This is where Gu Yunni and the other two were ambushed. The area was deserted and no other ships had arrived.

The old man rowing the boat frowned slightly and looked around nervously, seeming a little frightened and uneasy.

Gu Yunni keenly sensed that something was wrong and wanted to ask something, but before she could open her mouth, she saw several ghostly figures appear on the lake.

The black shadow kept turning and rushed onto the boat at an extremely fast speed.

"What is this?"

In an instant, Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni quickly took defensive postures.

Originally, Gu Yunni was extremely weak, and if she had to fight alone, she would naturally be unable to cope.

Thanks to Sheng Mingyu's help, "You step back and leave these things to me."

Sheng Mingyu drew the sword in his hand, frowned slightly, and was about to take action.

The old man next to him seemed to be frightened. He stood there in a daze, not daring to row the boat.

The old man couldn't see anything. He only saw two people suddenly muttering and then taking a defensive posture. The next second, Sheng Mingyu had drawn his sword. Of course, he panicked.

Sheng Mingyu did not forget to comfort her, "Don't panic, just do your thing, I won't hurt you!"

How could this old man dare to say another word? He just lowered his head and rowed the boat obediently.

At the same time, the white mist once again entangled the two people.

Surrounded by mist, countless black shadows invaded this side.

Sheng Mingyu was worried that Gu Yunni might be in danger, so he hugged her in his arms.

However, this time Gu Yunni was prepared.

"The sky and the earth are boundless, the thunder technique!"

The next moment, countless bolts of lightning struck down, heading straight for these black ghosts.

Anything struck by the thunder will emit a burnt smell, then turn into a black mist and disappear into the water.

Rumble... There was a loud bang and thunder rolled, and finally, these black shadows disappeared.

The ghost returned to the surface of the lake along with the white mist, and everything seemed to return to normal.

There were people boating on both sides of the lake. The sun was shining brightly today and there were no problems. Everything seemed to be fine.

Sheng Mingyu frowned slightly and glanced at Gu Yunni, knowing that these ghosts had not been caught and the danger had not been eliminated.

"Who told you to rush forward? In the situation just now, if these ghosts really attacked you, you would become unconscious like the educated youth, and the consequences would be unimaginable!" Thinking of the dangerous situation just now, Gu Yunni couldn't help getting angry.

This is the first time I see Gu Yunni so angry.

Sheng Mingyu smiled instead of getting angry, staring at the woman in front of him, "Are you concerned about me?"

"It's already this late, and you still have the mind to joke? Fortunately nothing happened. If something really happened, you would regret it!" Gu Yunni sat aside indignantly, no longer paying attention to Sheng Mingyu.

The old man rowing the boat watched the fog dissipate before he heaving a long sigh and muttering, "Here they are again... They've come earlier this year than in previous years. I don't know when they'll be able to reincarnate. This is truly unbearable!"
