The capital city was plunged into panic.
"Ah! Why are there so many ghosts?"
"Help! Help..."
"It's horrible, what are these things!"
…
Gu Yunni seemed to have forgotten that the evil ghost could only stay in the same place for a few days, and as long as he had help, he could escape from the place immediately.
The next morning, the emperor's angry roar was heard from the palace, "What on earth is going on? I didn't sleep well last night. There were constant wailing outside. Why did so many ghosts suddenly appear?"
The emperor couldn't even open his eyes. Although he often reviewed memorials until late at night, this was the first time he was so upset by the noise that he couldn't sleep.
The imperial teacher was very influential outside and was also in charge of these matters, so the emperor summoned him directly.
"National Master, all matters concerning the mystical arts are on your shoulders. What is the situation now? Should you give me an explanation?"
"I don't know!" The imperial teacher looked helpless.
He had only just heard this morning that so many little ghosts had suddenly appeared in the capital.
If I had known this earlier, why would I have brought this matter to Your Majesty?
The Imperial Preceptor had been with the Emperor for so long that he naturally understood his character. "Your humble servant assures me that the people have always lived in peace and stability. I will definitely find a way to solve the problem and not give Your Majesty a headache."
If it really doesn't work, go ask Gu Yunni for help.
He had already seen those little ghosts early this morning. They were basically of low ability and there was no need to take them seriously.
"You say it so easily." The emperor's face turned pale and he was angry.
The Imperial Master spoke so easily, as if this was a trivial matter.
If it is really a small matter, it should not happen!
"The most important thing now is the people. Find a way to appease them. Do it quickly and give me a reply within three days!"
The emperor suppressed his temper and stopped losing his temper.
Now the only person who can do this in his hands is the Imperial Master. If he loses his temper again, the Imperial Master will probably back off.
The Imperial Master quickly agreed and left the palace.
As soon as the Imperial Master left the palace, he frowned, "What's going on? Tell me in detail, why are there so many ghosts? I have set up a protective amulet. If a ghost appears, I will definitely notice it, but I slept very soundly last night."
Most of the servants in his house are half-baked magicians and should be able to sense something.
Why has no news been delivered to me?
Although he is the national teacher, he cannot bear all the responsibilities on his own. He also needs the people under him to share his worries.
Otherwise, even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to do the job.
The servant had already prepared an explanation, and faced the Imperial Master without panic. "Please calm down, sir. We don't know why so many ghosts suddenly appeared. We heard they appeared in the middle of the night, mostly in the civilian areas. We are in the east of the city, so naturally we can't sense anything. We are too far away."
This reason was so reasonable that the Imperial Master could not refute it. Even if he had a very bad temper, he could not express it.
There are different levels of mystical arts, and so are everyone's abilities. If you can't even sense it yourself, how can you expect your subordinates to do so?
His subordinates were very organized and carried out everything he had in mind without the need for the Imperial Master's instructions. "Don't worry, sir. I've sent people to the west of the city to check. There aren't any major problems. Most of them are just frightened civilians. We've already sent people to comfort them."
They have encountered this kind of thing more than once. Although it was not on such a large scale, they have experience in dealing with it.
It's just to appease Your Majesty, it's very simple, as long as the people are safe.
The Imperial Master had not expected that his men were so smart and had already handled the trouble.
"Okay, well done. Consider this your reward. If this happens again, be sure to inform me in advance. I won't punish you while you're under my command, but if you do something wrong in front of His Majesty, you'll only lose your life."
The Imperial Master was telling the truth. If it weren't for his status and abilities, he would have lost his life long ago.
Everyone wants to achieve greater things, but they also need to stay alive.
"Yes, sir, don't worry. I will never let this happen again. Now do you want to go back home and rest? Or go to the west of the city and take a look?"
The servants also understood what the Imperial Master said. If they were asked to face His Majesty, they would have been beheaded in public long ago.
The Imperial Preceptor pondered for a while outside the palace, then turned and headed towards the Crown Prince's Residence. "Let's go to the Crown Prince's Residence. I'm afraid Gu Yunni doesn't know the news yet. If His Majesty wants to summon her, I'll let her know in advance so that she can get a good deal."
Listening to the words below, he felt that this was probably not a big deal and would not have much impact, but it would be best to tell Gu Yunni.
Now that His Majesty knows her abilities, if he wants to summon her, she has to be prepared.
Apart from anything else, as the future Crown Prince's consort, you must always put the people first.
The subordinates didn't quite understand the Imperial Master's ideas, but they still did as he was told.
But I couldn't help but wonder, the national teacher is not the prince's national teacher, why should he think about the prince's mansion in everything?
Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master were familiar with each other, so there was no need to be polite when they met.
She curled her lips and opened them slightly. "What brings you here? We haven't seen each other for a long time since we left the tent. Is there something wrong? It's usually not a small matter when you come to see me. Please don't cause me any trouble. I've been very busy lately."
The Imperial Master is a man who never comes to visit unless he has something important to do.
When the Imperial Master saw Gu Yunni, a smile appeared on his face. "I'm not asking for your help this time. I'm here to give you a reminder."
The two admired each other and wanted to learn skills from each other.
"Oh?" Gu Yunni was very confused. "You actually came here to warn me. What happened outside? Is it worth your trip?"
There was doubt in her eyes. Given the Imperial Master's temperament, was he really not trying to trick her?
The Imperial Master was anxious, his beard quirking. "This time is really different from the past. There are many little ghosts outside. I don't know where they came from. There are quite a lot of them. They have caused quite a panic. You will understand if you go to the west of the city and take a look."
No one knows the situation unless they see it on the spot.
Gu Yunni hadn't cared at first, but after hearing this, her attention was instantly diverted. She frowned and asked, "West of the city? Are you sure it's the west of the city? There are so many little ghosts... Is there a red-clothed ghost among them?"
Could it be that I have caused trouble?
The Imperial Master was puzzled and didn't understand why Gu Yunni was so emotional.
"It's just a little ghost, no evil spirit. What does the presence of a red-clothed evil spirit have to do with this? I haven't been there yet. Let's go and take a look together. You can see it for yourself when you get there."
Gu Yunni became anxious and didn't want to say any more nonsense, so she ran inside to change her clothes.
At the same time, someone was still shouting inside, "Go and tell the prince to take that old man with him. He will understand."
If it was really her fault, then she had to solve it.
