"Are you crazy? I know the man you're talking about. He also did something similar in Kyoto. Do you really think he can make an elixir? The only thing he did was bring disaster to the people. Otherwise, he wouldn't have ended up like this!"
The words spoken by Marquis Changping seemed to be trying to convince himself, and did not convince the advisor in front of him.
He didn't want to fall into this trap, but when he heard about the elixir of immortality, he was still tempted.
He also wants to live forever.
The lawyer continued to work hard, worried that the Marquis of Changping would react.
"My Lord, please think about it carefully. This is all for your own good. Having the elixir of immortality will be the icing on the cake for you."
He was convinced that the elixir must exist, so he naturally didn't think there was a problem.
Marquis Changping had to admit that he was brainwashed by these words. At worst, he would just take a gamble.
No matter what, it would cause trouble for Sheng Mingyu. If he could get some benefits from it, he would be willing to do so.
"I'll think about it again. What you did is too big, and we can't bear the consequences. I'll ask Kyoto first and give you a reply as soon as possible."
The lawyer breathed a sigh of relief. Marquis Changping was really a soft-hearted person.
Isn't he Gu Yunni's father? The relationship between these two shouldn't be good, right?
"Okay! But remember to hurry up. His Highness is already putting pressure on me and only gave me three days."
Marquis Changping said nothing more. He walked out of the mansion and returned to the county government office. He hurriedly wrote a letter to Du Changming, and then went for a walk by the lake.
I was really nervous this day, and I didn't know what the final outcome would be.
Otherwise, should I help the master secretly?
On Sheng Mingyu's side, someone was always keeping an eye on Marquis Changping, and any movement was heard by him.
"Has the message been sent? Have they stopped the carrier pigeon to see what their plan is? The Marquis of Changping wouldn't easily contact someone in Kyoto, so he probably has a plan."
Mo Qing looked embarrassed. "No, I saw a mark on the top of the envelope. If we touch the carrier pigeon, we will be discovered. So we dare not intercept it blindly. Can we intercept it when we reply?"
If possible, he would have intercepted the carrier pigeon, but they used some tricks and were unable to intercept it.
Sheng Mingyu stood in front of the table in the study for a long time, thinking about his plan.
"That's not necessary. His Royal Highness has indeed learned his lesson. However, this is Anyuan County, not Kyoto. He can't do whatever he wants. If an enemy comes, we will fight him. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth."
I didn't expect that I could play against the prince after coming out. It was quite interesting.
He had to find a way to make Du Changming's reputation worse and worse.
It is time to let His Majesty know his identity. As a prince, he cannot remain without a name or status.
"Yes." Mo Qing agreed and lowered his head silently.
Sheng Mingyu waved his hand, "Alright, don't always stand in front of this prince. This is not your fault. Keep staring at the Marquis of Changping."
Mo Qing responded and left the room.
Sheng Mingyu stood in front of the table, his mind wandering, not knowing where he was going.
When Gu Yunni arrived, she saw this scene and asked, "What are you doing? You're just standing there motionless. Is there trouble? Tell me."
Their plan could not be implemented and they could not get any news, so she could only come to him every day to wait for news.
Sheng Mingyu came back to his senses and looked over tenderly, "I was just wondering, when would be the best time to reveal this prince's identity? The prince has lived a peaceful life for too long, it's time to make him anxious."
Gu Yunni was startled. Was it too fast?
Their opponents are not just one crown prince, but many princes.
If his identity really needed to be exposed, Du Changming should have been the first to wade through the water.
"Have you thought it through? Exposing your identity so quickly will put you in greater danger. The other princes haven't returned to the capital, but do you know what they're thinking?"
Sheng Mingyu smiled gently, knowing that she was concerned about him. He walked closer, slowly held her hand, and played with her palm.
"This prince is thinking of gradually spreading some rumors, or just telling His Majesty that many of the things we want to do require His Majesty's consent."
Gu Yunni felt relieved. "If that's the case, then it's feasible. You can tell His Majesty first. Have you decided to seize the throne? I can help you."
After asking this question, she smiled helplessly. What's the point of choosing or not? This is fate.
Fortunately, Sheng Mingyu is not so impulsive and has plans for everything he does.
Gu Yunni looked serious and couldn't bear to let him face the danger alone.
"Yun Ni, what you mean is that you can choose not to help this prince? We are a couple who are about to get married. Husband and wife are one. If something really happens to this prince, you can't escape."
Gu Yunni blushed at these words and said coquettishly, "We haven't gotten married yet. Your problem has nothing to do with me. If you say that again, I won't help you."
Sheng Mingyu held her hand tighter and looked at her with deep affection.
"Don't worry, Yun Ni, I will take good care of myself. If anything unexpected happens, I will tell you."
When he was thinking about seizing the throne, he had already made the decision that no matter what Gu Yunni thought in the future, he would keep her by his side.
He knew Gu Yunni would not be willing, but he couldn't leave.
Gu Yunni stopped discussing those things with Sheng Mingyu and returned to the main topic.
"Do you know when the other princes will return to the capital? His Majesty sent them all out to guard against them. They probably have grievances in their hearts. They are your best weapons."
Since Sheng Mingyu wants to do it, he must prepare everything, at least to ensure safety.
Sheng Mingyu shook his head. "I'm not sure yet! Those who went south and those who went north are all far away from each other. There's nothing serious to do. I estimate that they should be back in a month or two."
He used to think that the royal family’s affairs had nothing to do with him, so he didn’t care at all.
If you want to intervene now, you have to start from the beginning.
Although he has some power in his hands, he has never been deeply involved in this area.
Gu Yunni was much quieter than Sheng Mingyu. She had already made a plan.
"Don't worry. We still have to deal with this in Anyuan County for a while. You can't leave until the person behind this is caught. Besides, how can you leave without worrying about the new county magistrate? We have plenty of excuses not to return to Kyoto."
She was already on guard when she saw Sheng Mingyu's fate and chose to cooperate with him.
After finishing the serious conversation, Sheng Mingyu's mood became depressed again. "Yun Ni, this prince has a question. Do you know who sent this prince to the palace? Why is it that no one has discovered that this prince is a prince?"
His adoptive parents never liked him and were very harsh on him, and they only met a few times.
Even his biological parents don't know he exists. Who is so cruel to make his life so difficult?
Now that Sheng Mingyu is related to her, Gu Yunni can no longer predict his affairs.
