Chapter 788 The purse is for Meng Yunzheng
Meng Yunzheng took the note after seeing that she was standing still.
Upon unfolding it, one would see the words, "Gao Rui, Pan Lin, acceptable."
After reading it, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Shu Yu and laughed.
Shu Yu thought she had drunk too much and her vision was blurry, otherwise why would he seem like he had won the lottery?
She blinked and asked him curiously, "Did you understand?"
"Um."
Shu Yu's eyes widened. "You really understood it?" She took the note back and stared at it carefully for a while, but she was still completely confused.
Why couldn't she understand the note her master gave her, while Meng Yunzheng understood it at a glance?
Could this note be for him?
Shu Yu pursed her lips, gave a cold snort, and asked, "What does that mean from above?"
"Gao Rui is the name of the former Minister of War who has retired due to illness. Since his resignation, he seems to have disappeared, and there is much discussion in the court about his whereabouts. Some say he is dead, some say he has found a secluded paradise to recuperate, and some say he is actually not sick and has gone on a trip with his most beloved concubine. Even his family does not know where he went or whether he is dead or alive."
Shu Yu suddenly realized, "I knew it! This name is so unfamiliar; I've never heard of it before. So, what does 'Pan Lin' mean?"
"Panlin is a county town, not far from the capital. Panlin County is very small, has no special features, and no particularly big events happen there. It is a very ordinary and unremarkable place."
"So what my master means is that this Gao Rui is in Panlin County?"
Meng Yunzheng nodded, "Yes, and he should be a breakthrough. I may not have told you yet, but the Abbot of Dongqing Temple is not only extremely skilled in divination, she is also a guest of the current Emperor. Of course, not many people know about this, and the Fifth Prince only found out by chance. So he sought out the Abbot not just to ask her to help him calculate a result."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, "Could it be to curry favor with Master and find out some things about the Emperor?"
"Um."
However, it's no longer necessary. With this purse, the Fifth Prince will give up searching for the Abbot of Dongqing Temple.
Firstly, she has already provided important clues.
Secondly...
Meng Yunzheng smiled. The fact that the Abbess of Dongqing Temple was willing to provide such information meant that she had helped the Fifth Prince. But it also indirectly indicated that the Fifth Prince was the one she had chosen, and that he would eventually ascend the throne.
The Fifth Prince was the ultimate winner, which meant that it would be much easier for Meng Yunzheng to avenge his parents.
Shu Yu took the note, looked at it over and over, and clicked her tongue twice, "So this note really wasn't for me, it was for you."
After saying that, he stuffed the note into his purse, saying, "Then you can take it."
"Thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
“If it weren’t for you, the abbot might have stayed out of it and it wouldn’t have affected her at all.”
Shu Yu was silent for a moment, then said, "To be honest, I still don't know what my master is thinking."
Perhaps the thoughts of a wise person are simply unfathomable.
Shu Yu shook her head, no longer dwelling on it, and asked him instead, "So, are you going back to the capital?"
“I won’t go back. If I return to the capital, I might be exposed to the Gong family. This purse can be sent back to the Fifth Prince. There’s no need for me to go myself.”
Moreover, the capital is too far away; once he leaves, no one knows when he will return.
