The Imperial Master had an unfathomable look in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. It would be better for him not to say anything without confirmation.
As soon as they returned to the mansion, another accident happened, and they did not have a peaceful day for the next few days.
Either he was woken up in the middle of the night, or there were some strange animals in the mansion, even a tiger inexplicably broke into the mansion.
"Isn't this Jiangnan? If you don't know, you might think it's some big mountain valley! How many times has this happened? Snakes appearing is fine, but why did a tiger also appear?"
Gu Yunni was very helpless. She had been exhausted these days.
"The tiger has a bell around its neck, meaning it's captive. Every time it appears, there's a flute sound. I don't know who's so capable as to keep such a ferocious beast in captivity. Even in Kyoto, there aren't many of them."
Sheng Mingyu was used to it and could even analyze clues from the tiger.
This kind of tiger will basically not hurt people as long as the owner does not allow it, so there is no need to worry.
"Captive?"
Gu Yunni looked puzzled. It was the first time she heard of such a thing.
"Who on earth despises us so much that they dare to attack us with wild beasts? We are in the city. If something unexpected happens, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand it."
Gu Yunni's tone was cold and she was already angry. Even if she had a good temper, she couldn't stand the daily torture.
"He's not afraid, so he dares to do this. He's probably been arrogant in Jiangnan for many years. If we hadn't come, he wouldn't be forced to this point."
Sheng Mingyu shook his head, a smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"Let's wait a little longer. If you're so anxious, you'll be exposed soon. In just a few days, maybe we'll meet again. I'm suddenly looking forward to what expression he'll have when he sees me again."
Sheng Mingyu's temperament revealed a hint of playfulness. The princes in Kyoto were all idiots. He hadn't met an equally powerful opponent for a long time.
"Be careful." Gu Yunni frowned, her face full of disapproval.
"After so many years of doing bad things, you must be very scheming. Don't let anything go wrong."
"Okay." Sheng Mingyu agreed obediently and looked at Gu Yunni tenderly.
The guards acted quickly and dealt with the beast, then they went back to the house to sleep.
The next morning, everyone came out with dark circles under their eyes.
"I really need to get this problem resolved soon. I haven't slept well all day and am exhausted both physically and mentally. I don't have the energy to do anything this morning."
"Yes! We must succeed this time no matter what." The national teacher came in yawning and echoed what Gu Yunni said.
I really wish I had the ability to fall asleep and never wake up.
The man they were discussing was currently sitting in a magnificent house, a sarcastic smile on his face.
"They're so patient! Several days have passed, and they haven't made any moves. Do they really want to let me go?"
"Looking at them, they shouldn't be in a hurry. But I don't know why you, Master, must attack those people? They are the current Crown Prince. If they provoke him, I'm afraid none of us can handle them."
If Sheng Mingyu came over, he would see that the arrogant Boss Yu and Boss Zhang were sitting obediently below the man with flattering smiles on their faces.
"Crown Prince? What can he do? Even if the prince comes, I'm not afraid. Who doesn't have a reliable identity?"
He laughed and spoke arrogantly.
The two people below looked at each other, and speculation began to arise in their minds.
"Alright! Stop thinking about those useless things, and don't ask about things you shouldn't know. Just follow my instructions and do what you need to do. If you do it well, you will be rewarded."
He was very impatient and waved his hand to signal them to shut up.
They immediately quieted down and sat quietly, not daring to raise any objections.
In the next few days, they continued their efforts, while Sheng Mingyu suffered even more torture.
Just when Gu Yunni was about to collapse, Mo Qing came in with a happy face.
"Master! We found the person, right in the city!"
"Let's go! Bring people to capture him. If you dare to play tricks on me, you must bear the consequences."
The two of them were playing a riddle, which made Gu Yunni look confused and she looked at Sheng Mingyu.
He smiled triumphantly and winked at Gu Yunni playfully, "I've always known who did what happened these past few days, and I just wanted to follow the clues and catch the person behind it."
Gu Yunni held her forehead helplessly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you know that if this matter is not dealt with, I am afraid I will go out and swear in the streets. Fortunately, I didn't do such an unreasonable thing."
"Don't worry! If Yun Ni really wants to curse, then this prince will stand by and accompany you. Anyway, anyone with a discerning eye can see the harassment we have suffered during this period."
Gu Yunni pouted, her face puffed up with anger.
Sheng Mingyu smiled dotingly, and the atmosphere between the two was particularly warm, completely ignoring the imperial teacher.
"Why don't we go over and take a look together? We can save Mo Qing and the others from letting people go again. I can't live like this anymore."
"Yes, let's go and take a look. That man is full of evil schemes. I wonder if they can deal with him."
The Imperial Master and Gu Yunni made suggestions one after another, looking worried.
Who knows what this person's next target will be? It doesn't matter if he kills them, but if he kills the people, that would be a big deal.
"Alright! Let's go over and take a look. It's a good opportunity for me to catch him in person, so he can admit defeat with conviction. Didn't we say we'd meet again? Just consider it a surprise from me."
Sheng Mingyu thought about it and then agreed, knowing that they would meet sooner or later anyway.
The man was sitting upstairs, talking with Boss Zhang and Boss Yu.
There were sounds of fighting outside, and countless secret guards flew out. His face was solemn.
"Go out and see what's going on. Have you two been discovered and are completely unaware of it? I've told you more than once that you must be careful when you come to my place." His tone was cold and full of blame.
If they were really exposed, he would skin the two people below.
"Yes." The two agreed tremblingly and ran out quickly.
They saw Sheng Mingyu standing at the front, followed by countless guards. Their hearts sank to the bottom in an instant.
"Didn't Boss Yu say before that you didn't know him and had no connection at all? Why did you meet him privately? Lying is not a good thing."
Sheng Mingyu had a smile on his face and his tone was gentle, without any sign of anger.
"Boss Zhang is here too. Long time no see."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, may you be well." The two men greeted him without daring to look up.
"What's wrong? Have you two done anything wrong? Why don't you dare to look up? This prince has always been gentle and kind to others. I will definitely not be angry with you. If you have something to say, please speak directly."
They spoke hesitantly and did not say a word for a long time.
Sheng Mingyu chuckled again, attracting everyone's attention.
"Since you don't know what to say, then let me ask you. How about you answer? Maybe you can save your life."
After he asked, he and Gu Yunni stood there, waiting for their answers.
