Although many people knew that Gu Yunni was proficient in occult arts, they did not know how powerful she was.
Many people also linked the incident in the lake to her.
"It's my exclusive secret technique, which requires a blood sacrifice. If you want to learn it, I'll teach it to you after I recover from my illness. However, the backlash will be severe, and my body will be weak during this period. If there's any movement in the lake, I'll feel uncomfortable and will be the first to know."
Gu Yunni didn't take what happened that day to heart. She only used the magic when she had no other choice.
It would be bad for her health, so she would not use it easily.
Gu Yunni said this to be polite to the Imperial Master.
The national teacher is not stupid, he naturally knows what to learn and what not to learn.
Even if you want to save the people, there is no need to gamble with your own body.
Sheng Mingyu was beside them, listening to the conversation between the two quietly. When he heard Gu Yunni talking about this topic, he immediately lost his composure.
"What? Yun Ni, why don't you explain the situation clearly? How could you use such a technique? If something happens to you, what will I do?"
He had felt strange before. Gu Yunni just scratched her hand, so why did she faint on the ground?
Now I understand what is going on. It turns out that Gu Yunni is desperate and wants to use her life to seal the little ghost in the lake.
Gu Yunni felt a little guilty and quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, I only dared to use this technique because you were by my side. If you weren't there, I wouldn't have used it. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I won't put myself in a dilemma."
She knew Sheng Mingyu was worried, but didn't she have any other options?
She and the Imperial Master had fought to this point, and they really couldn't give up.
"Don't use it next time! Even if those little devils act recklessly and have an impact on the capital, I will take care of everything, you don't have to worry." The national teacher's face also darkened.
Although he liked Gu Yunni's character and her willingness to give more for the people, he did not want her to sacrifice her life like himself.
It was clearly his responsibility, but he wanted Gu Yunni to share it with him.
"Hey, why are you two so worried? I've already told you that I'm fine and haven't been hurt. If you continue like this, I'll be embarrassed. How can I dare to continue?"
The atmosphere was heavy and Gu Yunni could hardly bear it.
If it was beyond her ability, she would not use such means. She also wanted to live a good life.
Just as Gu Yunni was thinking about how to ease the atmosphere, a shout came from outside, "Your Highness, something bad has happened!"
Gu Yunni frowned and was wondering what was going on when a eunuch came running in from outside, shouted "Oh no" to Sheng Mingyu, and knelt in front of him, trembling.
"How can you be so flustered! Is this the rule taught to you by the Prince's Mansion? Aren't you afraid of losing face if you go out? Okay, tell me what's going on."
Sheng Mingyu was in a heavy mood and looked unhappy.
It must not be a small matter that could make the servants in his house so panicked.
He didn't know what was happening outside. Kyoto was indeed not peaceful recently.
"Yes... Many people came from outside, saying that the Crown Prince's Consort is a deity. They all knelt and kowtowed, causing quite a commotion. I'm worried that this matter will get into the palace. Those people don't know the rules and will blame everything on the Crown Prince's Consort. If His Majesty finds out..."
The eunuch's face turned pale as he repeated the situation outside.
He only said half of his words, but the meaning behind them was very clear.
The atmosphere became a little tense for a moment.
Although these rumors are all good, they can't help but deify her. I wonder what the emperor will think?
Is Sheng Mingyu worried about the reputation he will get, because His Majesty has always been tolerant of him, and even if something happens, it will be good for him.
But Gu Yunni is different. She used to be a daughter of a marquis, but now she is just an ordinary citizen. In the eyes of His Majesty, how could she deserve such a great blessing?
The Imperial Master was also very worried. He was always nervous every day when working in front of the Emperor, and now it was Gu Yunni's turn.
He is still somewhat favored, but Gu Yunni is not valued at all. Can she really get past this hurdle in front of the emperor?
Gu Yunni was not worried. "I'll go out and take a look. There's nothing to worry about. As long as the people are not surrounding us all the time, justice will prevail. I believe that if it's not my fault, they won't put the blame on me for no reason."
Sheng Mingyu would not let Gu Yunni face this situation alone. "No, I will go out with you. If any problems arise, I can help you solve them. I believe His Majesty will not blame me."
"Okay." Gu Yunni nodded and did not refuse.
As soon as Gu Yunni appeared, she sparked a huge discussion.
"Look! The Crown Prince's Consort has come out. This is our divine being!"
"Yes, I heard that some time ago, there were ghosts howling all day long by the small lake. It was only after the Crown Prince's Consort went there that the lake became quiet."
"Princess, you must protect us!"
…
These people regarded Gu Yunni as their faith and looked at her with shining eyes.
Seeing her face clearly was another surprise.
"I didn't expect our Crown Prince's Consort to be so beautiful. It turns out that only beautiful women can be fairies."
"Yes! The Crown Prince's Consort has a face like this, so she must be a fairy, not an ordinary person. We are right."
The people confirmed Gu Yunni's identity with just a few words and convinced her. Gu Yunni was really having a headache.
If there are people who are willing to believe something, they will believe it no matter what you say. If they are unwilling to believe it, it will be useless even if you say it until your mouth is broken.
Gu Yunni gritted her teeth and raised her hand. The noises below gradually died down, and everyone looked at her sincerely, begging her to say something to keep them safe.
"Please don't believe in ghosts and gods too much. I'm not as powerful as you say. I was with the Imperial Master at the time, and he handled most of the things. I'm not that powerful. Please don't say anything nonsense."
What Gu Yunni said was not convincing at all, and the people looked skeptical.
But some people also believe that saying that the national teacher is powerful is more convincing than saying that Gu Yunni is powerful.
It is indeed more reasonable that the Imperial Master is a man and has the trust of His Majesty.
"It seems to make sense, but I don't believe that the Crown Prince's Concubine doesn't know anything. She must be very powerful."
"Yes, otherwise how could he be with the Imperial Master? The Imperial Master is so powerful, it's impossible for him to bring the Crown Prince's Consort with him for no reason."
The people around her also had brains. Although they trusted Gu Yunni very much, they could also analyze some information from her words and did not trust her blindly.
They all saw her abilities, and they all knew something about her. It was impossible that she knew nothing.
