The Imperial Master also returned to the main topic, thought carefully, and said to the others: "I just chased him to the east of the city. That's where the nobles live, as well as the royal family. I wanted to continue chasing him, but the more I ran, the more secluded it became, so I had to turn back."
When the Imperial Master said this, Gu Yunni had an expression that said, "As expected."
She said that the old Taoist must have powerful people behind him, otherwise how could he be so arrogant in Kyoto?
I just don't know who is the person behind him?
"Don't worry too much. At least the general direction has been determined. Just search the surrounding area and be careful. Even though the prince is here, not all troubles can be avoided."
The Imperial Master couldn't help but give a few instructions.
Not all of those dignitaries were people he could offend. He was just favored by His Majesty, but compared with these people, it was hard to say who had a higher status.
Sheng Mingyu stood up immediately after hearing this and said, "What are you afraid of? Isn't this prince here? Yun Ni, just do it without worry, no one will cause any trouble."
No matter what happens, His Majesty will usually be on his side.
Gu Yunni nodded and held his hand. "Alright, let's hurry up and do our work. I don't know who is keeping that stinky Taoist priest."
There was still a lot to do, and she didn't have the time to think about so much.
As soon as the old Taoist returned to the Prince's Mansion, he ran into Du Changming head-on.
As soon as he saw him, Du Changming was filled with anger.
He had originally placed all his hopes on this old Taoist, but ended up messing things up.
I don’t know how this old Taoist has the nerve to continue eating and drinking for free in my house!
If it weren't for Aruo's sake, he would have sent the man away long ago.
"Master, we messed up last time. You said you would give me an explanation. You've been away these past few days. What have you gained?"
The old Taoist looked proud, and when he spoke to Du Changming, he was also very proud, "Your Highness, don't worry, I will do what I say. I already have a plan, and I estimate that I will be able to give you a surprise in two days."
He paid a lot to be able to continue staying here.
"Oh? Taoist Priest, you are so confident. Then tell me in detail what is going on. I am indeed very curious, but please don't make fun of me."
The old Taoist priest has been living in the Prince's Mansion for some time, and Du Changming has also come to understand his character.
Without understanding what happened, he didn't dare to believe it casually.
"Your Highness, you should have heard that the west side of the city has been haunted recently. This matter has caused panic among the people, and the people are talking about it a lot. I might as well tell you the truth. I did it, and I just hope you can feel relieved."
After all, this task cannot be accomplished by himself alone, and he needs Du Changming's help.
Moreover, the treatment she enjoyed in the Prince's Mansion had been declining in recent days. Revealing some information would help him receive better treatment.
"Really?" Du Changming's eyes lit up when he heard this. He said that the old Taoist was not only good at talking, but should also have some real skills. He didn't expect that he could actually surprise him.
Du Changming stood up, patted the old Taoist on the shoulder, and spoke in an excited tone.
"I've always said that the Taoist priest is very capable. Don't worry, just give him orders for whatever you want. We must continue to work hard on this matter. I don't expect you to cause too much trouble, but we must also give Sheng Mingyu enough trouble."
He suddenly saw hope again, and kicking Sheng Mingyu down was just around the corner.
If it is not the emperor's order, then it is not the emperor's order. It is a joke to want to compete with myself, the real prince!
The old Taoist wasn't just thinking about harming Gu Yunni and the others, he was also thinking about other things, "By the way, Your Highness, since I've already done this, you might as well find some convenience. The more victims there are, the bigger the trouble will be for Sheng Mingyu."
All his food and drink expenses now depend on Du Changming, so of course he has to curry favor with him.
"Your idea is correct. I have to think of a solution. Sheng Mingyu is in charge of the security of the capital. Such a good opportunity cannot be let go of him. Okay, go back and rest first, and report back if there is any follow-up news."
Du Changming became excited and walked into the room while talking.
As long as this matter is handled well, Sheng Mingyu will have no chance of turning things around.
After all, if it involves the people, it is no small matter.
Someone like me, even though I sit on the throne of the crown prince, dare not offend the people.
The days were quiet for a few days and nothing happened in the west of the city. Gu Yunni even thought that the old Taoist had given up.
However, she didn't fantasize for long.
That old Taoist is a bad guy at heart and there is no way he would let me go easily.
Gu Yunni felt extremely uneasy and went to find Sheng Mingyu. "Prince, has there been no news from outside recently? Why hasn't the Imperial Master come to see me? Please don't hide it from me."
Even if the west side of the city wasn't haunted, we should have found the old Taoist's trace. It's impossible that he had disappeared underground, right?
Sheng Mingyu has been very patient these days, and stays by Gu Yunni's side to comfort her whenever he has time.
He understood Gu Yunni's current mood. She was just so nervous because she was worried about the people.
"Don't worry, Yun Ni, I'm still working hard to find someone. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."
As the two were talking, the doorman came running in, "Your Highness, Madam Gu and Master Gu wish to see you."
Gu Yunni opened her eyes wide. Her mother usually didn’t come to see her. Maybe something happened to her?
She ran out anxiously.
Sheng Mingyu was also surprised. He knew the people in the Gu family and they didn't want to cause any trouble to Gu Yunni. Why did they come suddenly?
Mother Gu's face was pale at this moment. When she saw Gu Yunni coming out, she suddenly became excited, and came forward, holding her tightly.
"Yun Ni, you're finally out. Mother didn't want to trouble you, but these days..."
She didn't want to cause trouble for Gu Yunni, but she was worried that if she didn't come over, she would die.
Gu Yunni was a little panicked. Gu's mother had always been decent, so why did she look a little disheveled when she saw her today?
Even when she was extremely poor in the past, she was always neat and tidy. When have you ever seen her like this?
"Mom, brother, what happened? Why do you look so miserable?"
The two were silent, as if they were struggling with how to speak.
Gu Yunni anxiously turned her gaze to Gu Changan, "Brother, can you tell me? It's my fault that I've been too busy these days and have no time to go home. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you suffer."
"This..." Gu Changan was very embarrassed. He looked at his mother and then at Gu Yunni.
He also wanted to resolve this matter, but was worried about causing trouble for Gu Yunni.
Gu Yunni felt a headache coming on. "Now that we've come to this, I must see to the end of this matter. Just tell me now!"
She was really anxious and wanted to know what was going on.
