Upon hearing this, the emperor nodded and did not make things difficult for him. As long as Sheng Mingyu knew what was going on, it would be fine.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you. The Imperial Concubine mentioned you to me a few days ago, saying that she hasn't seen you in many years and she misses you very much. If you have time, you might as well go to the harem. I don't have anything else to ask you, so you can go first."
After the emperor finished speaking, Sheng Mingyu's pupils trembled and his breathing became tense.
He was not yet ready to meet his biological mother as a son.
"Don't panic! I didn't ask you to meet him now. Go back and pack up first, and go when you're ready."
"good."
Gu Yunni also reacted quickly and felt happy for Sheng Mingyu.
Holding his hands tightly means encouragement.
Sheng Mingyu nodded, the gloom in his eyes just now disappeared, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
I was thinking about what gift to bring, and naturally I wanted to give my biological mother something good.
"How is it? Did you go to the Emperor to plead for me? What did the Emperor say?"
Sheng Mingyu was immersed in his own thoughts, and Gu Yunni was also stunned. The second prince suddenly appeared, scaring them both.
"Second Prince? Why are you so elusive? If you have something to ask, why don't you go to my residence and ask? Aren't you afraid of being seen by His Majesty by standing so openly at the palace gate?"
Sheng Mingyu frowned and looked at the annoying person, and his mood instantly turned bad.
"Am I not being too anxious? Besides, this prince also has to go to the harem to pay his respects today, and I happened to be blocking you at the palace gate. Tell me quickly, what is the result?"
The second prince scratched his head, not caring about anything else, with anxiety in his eyes.
"I heard that my third brother sent you some herbs that day. I also asked the housekeeper to sort out the herbs for you. They will be delivered to your house later. Although your injuries are not serious, you still have to take them to heart. You might develop a hidden illness."
"Thank you very much."
He didn't just ask dryly, but also spoke with concern.
Sheng Mingyu didn't feel like cursing, and a stiff smile hung on his lips.
"His Majesty said that he will not dwell on this matter any further. This prince can do whatever he wants, but if he wants to bring it up again in the future, His Majesty will not object."
Sheng Mingyu told the truth without hiding anything.
After hearing this, the second prince patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just tell me that you will definitely plead for me. Thank you so much for what you did today. If you need anything in the future, feel free to look for me. Although I am not particularly powerful in Kyoto, I can still protect you."
"good."
Now that the matter was resolved, the Second Prince felt much more relieved and was also thinking about making a promise to Sheng Mingyu.
Sheng Mingyu helped him, he couldn't be ungrateful.
"Then this prince will not disturb you any more. Go back to your residence and have a good rest. I still have to go to the palace and will treat you to a meal in a few days."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and before leaving, the second prince nodded to Gu Yunni.
He suddenly remembered what the secret guard said that day. He heard that Gu Yunni was quite capable.
If possible, he wouldn't mind snatching Gu Yunni away.
Just as they were about to leave, the Eighth Prince came out from the side and spoke to them.
"If you really don't like Second Brother, you don't have to greet him. I remember you used to be someone who could let go easily. Why have you become so conflicted lately?"
Sheng Mingyu's expression softened, no longer as cold as before.
"How can I do whatever I want in the palace? Besides, I haven't suffered too much injustice, and I will get it back in the future."
"Will it be the same if I find it now or later? But if the prince doesn't mind, I won't say anything."
The eighth prince remained gentle and courteous, and respected Sheng Mingyu's decision.
"Let's not talk about those unhappy things. Did you go to pay your respects to the Imperial Concubine today? How is the Imperial Concubine's health? The Crown Prince also wants to visit the palace in a few days. Would you like to bring some herbs or some pearls and silks?"
Sheng Mingyu waved his hand, not wanting to disturb his brother's ears with all the mess, and brought up other topics.
"She doesn't need a gift, just to see you. If you really feel bad, why not bring her something you've carefully chosen? She'll be very happy."
"good."
After the eighth prince finished speaking, he turned and left, and gave Gu Yunni a gentle smile before leaving.
Gu Yunni also responded politely. Sheng Mingyu's eyes wandered between the two of them, with a look of confusion on his face.
"The last time I went to the palace, I met the Eighth Prince and exchanged a few words. Didn't I tell you about this?"
Gu Yunni hurried to explain, but Sheng Mingyu didn't care.
"I know, I just think it's a little strange that he takes extra care of you. But it's normal that your personality is so likable."
He hoped that Gu Yunni would know more and more people so that she would not be wronged in Kyoto in the future.
"Maybe it's because of you. After all, you two are brothers, and I'm engaged to you. If he doesn't treat me, his sister-in-law, well, who else can he treat well?"
Gu Yunni had a smile on her face and was not embarrassed at all when talking about this.
Whenever she thought of her engagement with Sheng Mingyu, she felt very fortunate.
Fortunately, she met Sheng Mingyu at that time, otherwise she would have been filled with hatred for the rest of her life.
"I will go to His Majesty in a few days and ask for your help. At least we can get married first. I want to be with you forever."
Sheng Mingyu's eyes were gentle, and it was obvious that he really wanted to give Gu Yunni a home.
It was not easy for Gu Yunni to follow him without asking for anything in return.
After they finished their business, they returned home together.
As soon as I stepped into the mansion, rumors started spreading outside.
"Have you heard? His Royal Highness is getting more and more powerful now. Many princes have apologized to him! It seems to be because of the trip to Jiangnan a few days ago."
"Why? Didn't His Royal Highness go to Jiangnan for the people? Why did the princes apologize? Did they persecute the people?"
The people talked about it and speculated about the reason.
Hidden in the dark alley, a pair of gloomy eyes appeared, with a sly smile on the corners of his mouth.
"I heard that they offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it has nothing to do with us."
"If that's what you said, then His Royal Highness is quite capable. He actually managed to make the princes apologize. I'm afraid he'll have to ride on their necks from now on."
The people curled their lips and the noise of discussion became quieter and quieter.
It's okay to say a few words, but he's a member of the royal family, and if he hears it, you'll lose your head.
For the next few days, Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni rested in the mansion and had no idea how serious the rumors outside were.
Even though the princes were angry, they did not dare to vent it in front of Sheng Mingyu.
I finally got his forgiveness, and if I go to offend him now, I would be no different from a fool.
But they gradually became less willing to go out. Once they went out, they felt uncomfortable seeing all the pointing and criticizing eyes.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine has ordered that you come to the palace for dinner."
One day, Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu were playing in the mansion when someone suddenly came from the palace.
