Undeterred by the emperor's wrath, the Imperial Preceptor remained humble and courteous. "Your Majesty has misunderstood. I simply saw that Miss Gu was capable and couldn't help but speak a few words on her behalf. I believe that as long as Your Majesty understands her, you will make use of her."
He didn't care. If he offended the emperor, so be it. It wouldn't be a big loss for him.
But it’s different for Gu Yunni, she really needs the emperor’s support.
"Yeah?"
The emperor's tone was no longer harsh. He really wanted to know how powerful Gu Yunni was that the imperial teacher praised her so highly. "Then why not give it a try? Isn't it said that there are many ghosts in that lake? If you can find a way to solve it, I will believe it."
The task the emperor gave to Gu Yunni was not simple. The imperial teacher's heart skipped a beat, and Sheng Mingyu also raised his eyebrows.
Everything else was easy to resolve, but how could the matter in the lake be so easily resolved? Wasn't the Emperor trying to embarrass Gu Yunni?
"His Majesty……"
The Imperial Master and Sheng Mingyu spoke together, wanting to plead for Gu Yunni.
If you really want to make things difficult, don't bring up this kind of thing. This is a life-threatening matter.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Gu Yunni, so there was no need for her to pay so much.
"Your Majesty, why don't you let me handle this matter? I have several useful people under my command, and they all have some mysterious skills. Maybe they can help. How can a woman like her do so much?" Du Changming also reacted and knew that Gu Yunni was in trouble, so he stood up.
He didn't care whether he could complete it or not. After all, he had always been favored by his father. If he failed to complete it, he would at most be scolded.
But if it were Gu Yunni, it would be a life at stake.
The more the emperor listened, the more his brows furrowed.
Gu Yunni rejected his kindness, "No need. Since Your Majesty has high hopes for me, I will definitely live up to your expectations. However, I need the help of the Imperial Master. Otherwise, even if I have great abilities, I will not be able to accomplish it. Please consider it, Your Majesty."
It was obvious that the emperor did it on purpose. If she refused, it would only cause more trouble. It would be better for her to agree directly.
It's not impossible to accomplish. You can take a gamble on anything. As long as you have enough ability, you will succeed.
"No, Yunni!" Sheng Mingyu did not agree with Gu Yunni taking on this matter. It was one thing to solve it by himself, but being assigned by the emperor was another. His tone became anxious.
Du Changming looked puzzled. Why didn't Gu Yunni have any brains?
They were trying to help her out, so why did they insist on taking the blame on themselves?
Gu Yunni was determined to do this. This matter should have been dealt with, and even if it was delayed, it wouldn't be delayed for long.
And in the end, it will all fall on her and the Imperial Master.
It would be best if we could gain some benefits from this.
"That's fine. I've already said it, so it will definitely be accomplished. Your Majesty, how about we make a bet? If I accomplish this, I might ask for a reward."
The emperor laughed at Gu Yunni's words. "Well, little girl, you're really brave. In that case, I'll make a bet with you. If you complete it, I'll give you whatever you want. If you don't, think about what you can give me. I really don't care about ordinary things."
No wonder she is favored by these people. If I were younger, I would probably like this bold girl too.
This kind of neat personality is indeed likable.
However, if you want to brag, you must have the capital to do big things. If you are just joking in front of him, he will not be polite.
Gu Yunni's lips also blossomed into a smile, "Okay, then I will have to think about what it is that I really like. Your Majesty, please don't blame me."
There are many magical weapons related to the mystical arts that she has never obtained. Maybe she can get them from the emperor.
After all, what is not in the treasury?
The Imperial Master couldn't help but shook his head. Sheng Mingyu and Du Changming might not understand Gu Yunni's character, but he knew her very well and knew that she really had that ability.
But he was a little helpless. Gu Yunni was too bold. She even dared to play tricks on the emperor.
As soon as they left the palace, Sheng Mingyu's complaints were heard, "Yun Ni, this prince has already stopped you, why didn't you listen? Do you know that if you don't do it well, this prince will find it difficult to protect you."
Du Changming's complaints were also heard. He was really angry. "Yes, even if I am the prince, I can't protect you if you don't handle this matter well."
How could she be so willful? He had tried his best to protect her, but she still wanted to sabotage him. It was speechless.
He didn't want Gu Yunni to die before he got the person. That would be such a pity!
Sheng Mingyu glared at Du Changming fiercely, "Your Highness, please respect yourself. This is my Crown Prince's consort. You don't need to worry!"
He got angry when he saw Du Changming. Why did he let him show up in front of Gu Yunni?
If someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
He clearly knew that he and Gu Yunni were already engaged, but he still kept pestering her. It was extremely disgusting.
"Oh, don't forget that you two haven't gotten married yet. I can pursue whoever I want, but what if they don't want to be with you in the end? Besides, no matter how powerful you are as a prince, how powerful can you be? Can you be as powerful as me? Don't be too arrogant!" Du Changming had a sarcastic look on his face and looked down on Sheng Mingyu.
Not only was he unable to protect Gu Yunni, but he was the one who begged for mercy. Why could he still be so arrogant in front of me?
I don’t know which eye of Gu Yunni is problematic, but she fell in love with Sheng Mingyu.
Gu Yunni didn't let them continue arguing and asked the question in her heart, "Your Highness, I really should thank you for this, but there is one thing I don't understand. How did you know this and even go to your knees to beg the emperor? I should thank you, but I am really confused."
Gu Yunni now had some doubts. Did the prince already know about what happened to her? Or was he the one who did it?
Why else would he have handled it so promptly? It was as if he was trying to save face in front of me.
Gu Yunni knew that she was being a little mean-spirited in trying to take advantage of a gentleman's desire, but she had to be cautious.
Originally, Du Changming thought that after this incident, he would be able to leave a good impression in front of Gu Yunni.
Who would have thought that Gu Yunni would actually doubt him!
"What do you mean? Are you doubting me? I wouldn't use something like this to attract you. I just heard the news and wanted to come and help. If you think it's a waste of time, I won't show up anymore!"
Du Changming was extremely angry. He had never suffered such an injustice since he was a child, and his words were not polite.
Gu Yunni was also a little embarrassed. It was originally just a question, but she didn't expect Du Changming to be so serious. She didn't know how to explain it.
"No, I... If His Royal Highness is angry, then I will apologize to you. This happened suddenly, so it's normal for me to be suspicious."
