After all, we are all friends, and we can't ignore each other when we live together.
The Imperial Master didn't want to see this awkward atmosphere, so he quickly interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Where were we just now? Did we say we should wait for this master of the mystical arts to take action? I wonder if the master's decision will involve bringing the prisoner back to the prison?"
Sheng Mingyu turned his attention to the Imperial Master and started discussing serious matters.
"Yes, I think there is hope over there. You know what he wants. If he wants this position, he must send someone here."
Sheng Mingyu was confident in his master, but he had no idea how to deal with the master of the mysterious arts.
It was also his fault that he didn't want to meddle in other people's business when he was in Kyoto before, and now he was completely in the dark.
"Is it really possible that he can't complete the elixir of immortality? If he can't, there may be further actions to take. Otherwise, no matter how long we wait, it will be useless."
Gu Yunni immediately responded, "Of course! I said that the elixir of immortality is a complete scam. Even if he sacrificed his life to refine it, he wouldn't be able to do it."
They have seen too many greedy people, and as long as there is hope, they will keep working towards it.
Sheng Mingyu nodded, "That's right, that's exactly the case. If this prince sees hope but is just about to complete it, he will probably continue to work hard and wait and see."
This logic is not difficult to understand. He is not a fool and can understand what Gu Yunni and the National Master mean.
The few of them spent a few days in peace, and Sheng Mingyu did not urge his master during these days.
It will probably take some time to come up with a countermeasure.
Just when Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu were having dinner, Marquis Changping came to cause trouble again.
"Your Highness, Yun Ni, are you guys having dinner? Would you mind listening to me? I just received some news and would like to discuss it with you."
As soon as Gu Yunni saw him, she lost most of her appetite.
I thought what he said was true and that he would not cause me any trouble. It would be nice to have a few days of quiet time. But it turned out that I couldn't hold on for long.
"Marquis Changping is here. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. If you don't have anything to say, please don't disturb this prince and his wife from having dinner."
Sheng Mingyu spoke in a bad tone and almost rolled his eyes. He was so tactless. Gu Yunni had finally managed to eat a few more mouthfuls of rice, but she put down her bowl and chopsticks again when she saw him.
Marquis Changping was a little nervous, but after thinking about it, he still wanted to get involved in this matter.
"Your Highness, a man claiming to be a legal advisor has come to me and told me to return the prisoners from the prison. He has no idea what's going on. Do you think he's got the wrong person?"
When Sheng Mingyu mentioned this, his expression became even uglier. His face stretched long. "What? The Marquis of Changping has only been here for two days, and he's already figured out the situation in Anyuan County? This prince wants someone, which means he must have made a mistake. Don't you still trust this prince?"
They have already come up with a countermeasure, and if Marquis Changping interferes at this moment, it will only cause trouble.
The Marquis of Changping spoke with increasing confidence, "But shouldn't you be the one overseeing the prisoners in the county jail? Why would you look for the legal advisor if someone is missing? He holds no official position, he just has some leverage with the former county magistrate. How can he find someone for you?"
He did want to cause trouble for Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni, but they were wrong in the first place, and it was impossible for them to argue for no reason.
Sheng Mingyu didn't want to waste any more time talking and gave Mo Qing a look.
Mo Qing stepped forward, stood in front of Changping's back, and almost took him away.
"You don't need to be involved in this matter. Even if you report it to His Majesty, it will be useless. Is there anything else you want to say? If not, go back and rest."
Marquis Changping was shocked and felt ashamed.
"Your Highness, please be reasonable. I just came here to discuss this matter with you today. I didn't mean to anger you. You had someone take me away. That's against the rules!"
Now in this hall there are not only people from Kyoto, but also many yamen runners from Anyuan County.
No matter what, he is still a marquis, and Sheng Mingyu is really disrespecting him!
Sheng Mingyu smiled easily. He didn't care what blame the Marquis of Changping put on him.
If he was really so timid, he would not be able to enjoy the emperor's favor like he does now.
"Since you know that this prince is unreasonable, why are you still talking nonsense here? If the advisor has any opinions, please let him come to this prince. After all, this is the condition we agreed on before. Mo Qing, show him out!"
"yes."
After the person was sent away, Gu Yunni finally smiled, but she was also a little worried.
"I thought Master had figured it out after spending so many days at home. Who would have thought he would seek support from the Marquis of Changping? Have you figured out how to deal with it?"
In fact, most of their hopes for this plan lie with the master.
If the master does not give in, they will have to make long-term plans.
So many days have passed, and we still don’t know what the situation of those prisoners is like?
If they had already been killed and their hearts taken out, then why did they go to so much trouble?
"Don't you just want to find someone to save your life? You also need to find someone reliable. Yun Ni, don't worry, let's wait for news. If it doesn't work, I will send more guards. Killing so many people will definitely leave traces."
"Okay, let's eat first."
Sheng Mingyu still cared about Gu Yunni as much as before, but he spoke much less.
The two of them returned to their rooms before Sheng Mingyu began to take action.
Before, he thought that Marquis Changping was an insignificant person, but today's events showed that Marquis Changping was standing opposite them.
"Mo Qing, go and see what Master is thinking. Give him a deadline and urge him to stop thinking about looking for help."
The issue with the master is not easy to resolve, and maybe Marquis Changping will get involved in the affairs of Master Xuanshu.
"Yes!" Mo Qing did not dare to delay and ran out quickly after receiving the order.
Everyone knows that their prince cares about his wife the most. If his wife is so worried, the prince must be anxious too.
The lawyer sent Mo Qing out in a gentle manner, then went back to the house and threw a tantrum.
"Waste! He's just a piece of crap! I've received an imperial decree to come and help, but he's still not able to participate in anything. It's so disappointing! How can I trust him to cooperate with such a person?"
He thought he would bring back good news today, but who would have thought that he would receive a threat.
I should have negotiated terms with Sheng Mingyu earlier. Wouldn't he be sitting in the position of county magistrate now?
The lawyer's wife is also a tough guy, always offering advice and suggestions.
"Master, if it were you, I'd say you should go find that master and ask him to send the prisoners back first so that he can cheat his way into the position. How many people can he want? Can't we give them to him?"
"Pa!" The master was in a bad mood today and slapped him.
