What's more, the person sitting in front of her was the emperor. Even if she had the courage, she wouldn't dare to say it.
After Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni left, only the Imperial Master and the Emperor were left in the hall.
The Imperial Preceptor knew what questions His Majesty would probably ask, but he didn't know how to answer.
After all, he was driven to the border by His Majesty before because he said something wrong. I wonder if he will be driven away by His Majesty again this time because he said something wrong.
He doesn't want to live such a hard life anymore.
In fact, the emperor was also a little embarrassed. He knew that most of the things were probably done by Gu Yunni, but he just didn't want to face reality.
Now that only he and the Imperial Master are left, he can ask without worry. The Imperial Master has always been tight-lipped and probably won't give him away.
"Ahem, today I ask you something that needs to be kept secret, and you must tell the truth. If I find out that you are deceiving your superiors and your subordinates, don't blame me for being rude."
The Imperial Master nodded, "Yes."
The emperor spoke with satisfaction, "I ask you, did you rely on Gu Yunni's book to resolve the hidden dangers outside and eliminate all the little devils?"
"Yes." The Imperial Master said just one word, concise and to the point.
"Then why did such a big commotion happen today, scaring the people? And why was it that Gu Yunni solved the problem all by herself?"
The first half of the sentence couldn't be explained in a few words, but the second half was easy to answer. The Imperial Master nodded gently, "Yes."
The emperor and the imperial teacher asked and answered questions, and when he asked the last question, the emperor's eyes widened.
I shouldn't have asked if I had known earlier. Why would I make things difficult for myself?
Now that he knows how powerful Gu Yunni is, what should he do?
Should I let Gu Yunni stay with me, or should I just drive her away?
"Then what did you do? Don't tell me, you were just helping, don't lie to me!" The emperor's expression became worse and worse, and his words were threatening.
He always felt that the national teacher was lying.
How could a woman be so powerful?
The Imperial Master was able to stay by his side because of his mysterious skills.
If Gu Yunni is more powerful, should I let her stay by my side?
"I was indeed just a helping hand, but I also helped Gu Yunni solve the problem. I must be fair. If it weren't for me, she could have done it alone."
The Imperial Master's forehead was covered in sweat and he told the truth, but in the end he did not dare to go against his conscience and said a good word for Gu Yunni.
Gu Yunni was originally very capable, and through this incident, he also knew that Gu Yunni's power was indeed stronger than his.
If it weren't for her poor health, the position of national teacher might not have fallen on him.
"That's enough! You're just trash! I've been keeping you by my side all this time, and what can you do? Get out of here now, and don't get in my way!"
The emperor frowned, became furious, and directly drove the imperial teacher out.
The Imperial Master retreated without a word, fearing that if he was a second late, his head would be left there.
On the other side, Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni were happily reading.
Gu Yunni felt like she had entered an ocean of knowledge, unwilling to waste even a minute.
Although she has read most of these books, reading them again will help her consolidate her knowledge.
Time passed quickly and it was dark in the blink of an eye. The emperor was getting impatient waiting.
I haven't received any news of the two of them leaving, and I don't know what they are doing in the study.
"What on earth are the prince and Gu Yunni doing? Why are they so reluctant to come out? How good a book can take so long to read? Have you ever been in there to deliver food? Don't let the prince go hungry."
What the emperor said was that he wanted to find out what Gu Yunni was doing in there.
Although he was concerned about Sheng Mingyu, he also asked questions indirectly.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. Food has already been delivered. Miss Gu has been reading, and the Crown Prince is accompanying her. This old servant says it's no wonder Miss Gu has such great abilities. With her diligence, if she had applied it to a child, she would have already learned countless skills."
The eunuch had no idea what the emperor was thinking. When he heard the names of Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni, he immediately started to flatter him.
He thinks Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni are good people and will have good future development.
I just don't know whether his flattery today was accurate or not?
The emperor frowned, disagreeing with what the eunuch said, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to find a way to get Gu Yunni out of the palace.
"Alright! Tell Gu Yunni not to watch so late. The palace is locked at night. If you really want to watch, you can come tomorrow."
In his subconscious, he had already regarded Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu as a couple.
After all, even a fool could feel the sweet atmosphere created by the two of them in the hall today.
"Crown Prince and Crown Princess, His Majesty said that the Crown Princess can come to the palace every day. There is no need to finish reading the book on this day. You two should go back and rest early. If you continue like this, it will affect your health."
The eunuch was very capable and his title for Gu Yunni never changed.
Gu Yunni was a little surprised. When did the palace recognize her identity?
But she didn't think too much about it. Only Sheng Mingyu was silently happy beside her.
It seems that he should be the winner in this battle between him and the prince.
Gu Yunni didn't waste any time. After packing up, she went back home to rest.
The emperor was the only one left in the palace, feeling uneasy.
He still remembered that Sheng Mingyu and Du Changming both proposed to Gu Yunni, so who should he give her to?
He should have let Gu Yunni accompany the prince. She was capable and could definitely help Du Changming secure the throne.
But he still vaguely remembered what the national teacher said in his mind, and he was always uneasy.
On the other hand, he couldn't bear to do this to Sheng Mingyu.
The emperor was troubled and stared blankly all night until dawn.
Du Changming also spent the whole night alone in the mansion, not knowing how to solve the current trouble.
He didn't want his relationship with Gu Yunni to remain strained, and still wanted to marry her home.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? You have dark circles under your eyes. If His Majesty saw this, he would definitely say something to you. Did you stay up late reading the memorials yesterday? If so, His Majesty might be pleased."
The young eunuch was a little surprised when he saw the prince's situation, and quickly tried to smooth things over for him.
He naturally knew that Du Changming did not do anything serious yesterday, but he couldn't tell the truth, otherwise His Majesty would blame him.
"It's okay. I know how to explain this to Father. Please dress nicely for me today. I have something to ask Father."
Du Changming shook his head. He knew what these people had considered for him, but he didn't need it now.
What he needs most now is to think about how to marry Gu Yunni.
The eunuch was thinking that the prince was finally sensible and knew how to please His Majesty, so there was no need for the father and son to quarrel every day.
