I have been out for several hours. Judging by the time, I will be back soon.
"Thank you, mother-in-law."
When they reached the center of the yard, Gu's mother brought cakes and poured tea for Sheng Mingyu. Sheng Mingyu immediately stood up, feeling that it was inappropriate after all.
The person in front of him is Gu Yunni's mother, and according to seniority, she is his future mother-in-law.
How can an elder pour tea for a younger person?
"Actually, I've always wanted to ask Your Highness, do you really like Yun Ni?" Mother Gu raised her head and stared at Sheng Mingyu without avoiding the question. After all, this was concerning her daughter's lifelong event.
I haven't been with Gu Yunni for all these years. Now that my daughter has finally reunited with her, she has to marry Sheng Mingyu...
"I know your concerns. Although we haven't known each other for long, I have real feelings for her." Sheng Mingyu spoke sincerely and answered seriously.
While the two were talking, Gu Yunni happened to return. Hearing the noise coming from inside the house, she wondered if Sheng Mingyu had come.
As soon as I opened the door, I happened to see Sheng Mingyu and Gu's mother sitting in the middle of the yard chatting.
This atmosphere...why does it give people a feeling of peace and tranquility?
"Mother, Your Highness, what are you talking about? I wonder if I can let my daughter listen too?"
Gu Yunni walked towards them, and after just a glance with Sheng Mingyu, they started discussing Gu Yunni's wedding dress.
"Mother-in-law, what do you think should be embroidered on this wedding dress?"
"This... I haven't thought about it for the time being." Mother Gu looked a little embarrassed.
She pushed the chair away, stood up and walked into the inner room. "You two can chat here. I, an old lady, won't disturb you."
Seeing that Gu's mother had already walked out, Gu Yunni couldn't help but walk up to Sheng Mingyu and asked, "What were you talking about with my mother? Is it inconvenient to tell me?"
“No.”
It feels like this sentence was not said.
"Some strange things have been happening in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion in recent days. I wanted to ask you for advice."
When Gu Yunni heard this, she ignored the previous question and immediately took Sheng Mingyu's hand and walked out of the house.
Seeing Gu Yunni's behavior, Sheng Mingyu was a little confused. He was going back now?
"Are you planning to take this prince back to the Anguo Mansion?"
There were thin calluses on Sheng Mingyu's palms, but then he thought again, he had been on the battlefield before, so it was normal to have calluses on his hands.
Suddenly hearing Sheng Mingyu's voice, she felt embarrassed for a moment and quickly let go of his hand. "I'm sorry, I held your hand in a hurry."
He smiled silently. At this moment, he thought Gu Yunni was cute and couldn't help but want to tease her.
"Once you hold my hand, you belong to me. You can never leave me for the rest of your life."
"What kind of perverse logic is this? Even if I suffer a loss, isn't it me who suffers the loss?" Gu Yunni's face darkened and she looked up at Sheng Mingyu. Why did she feel that this man seemed to be getting more and more shameless?
As soon as the two men arrived outside the Anguo Mansion, Sheng Mingyu's personal bodyguard jumped down from the tree and knelt on one knee on the ground.
Gu Yunni was startled by the person in front of her. She had not seen anyone on the tree just now.
"Your Highness, you are finally back. I have something very important to report."
Seeing the guard in front of him so anxious, it must be a big deal.
"Could you please tell me what happened?"
"Although the eunuch mentioned above was given to you by His Majesty, he actually came from the Crown Prince's Mansion."
This eunuch had been following Sheng Mingyu for half a year and knew a little about the affairs of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, although not much.
But he really didn't expect that this person would be someone from the Prince's Mansion. It was really interesting.
Is this because he is afraid that the position of crown prince will be taken away by someone else?
Gu Yunni was listening from the side and instantly felt that the prince was really insidious and cunning.
The maids and servants around them all bowed to Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni.
After all, she is the future Crown Prince's Consort, so of course she has to follow the same etiquette as Sheng Mingyu.
"Where is Xiao Qi now? Why didn't I see him when I came here?"
Xiaoqi was now assigned by Sheng Mingyu to manage the small kitchen, but he was not seen here.
Xiaoqi is the name of a eunuch.
"Your Highness, please don't worry. I will go find Xiao Qi right away."
I just don’t know where this dead eunuch is going now?
Unexpectedly, as he walked forward, the cook saw what seemed to be a corpse floating in the lotus pond.
I continued walking forward, cold sweat on my forehead. When I looked carefully, I saw that it was indeed a corpse.
The body was Xiaoqi's, and the cook couldn't help but scream.
When Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni heard the scream, they looked at each other and strode towards the northwest.
When they got here, they saw the cook sitting limply on the ground with a look of horror on his face.
"What happened?"
"Your Highness! Xiao Qi... Xiao Qi is dead!"
What?
Obviously, Sheng Mingyu couldn't believe it. The person was still alive when he went out, so how could he be dead when he came back?
Sheng Mingyu followed the cook's gaze and saw a corpse floating on the lotus pond.
Judging from the clothes, it seems that the body is Xiaoqi, but without seeing his appearance, it is impossible to tell.
After rescuing the person and seeing his face clearly, it was really Xiaoqi!
Damn it! Someone actually dared to do something like this right under his nose. He mustn't let him find out, or else he would definitely make this person's life a living hell!
"Has he met anyone during this period? Or, in other words, has he ever left the Anguo Mansion?"
Sheng Mingyu's face was terribly gloomy, as if someone would be in trouble in the next second.
They remained silent.
Gu Yunni looked at the corpse and felt strange.
I walked up to him and touched the top of his head, but I found that his ghost had also turned to ashes and could never be reincarnated.
Who has such a deep hatred for this eunuch that he wouldn't even be allowed to reincarnate?
Gu Yunni actually had an idea. She wanted to use the talisman as a connection to connect the conversation. Maybe she could find out who killed him?
But now the people’s souls are gone and communication is no longer possible.
"I think this little eunuch must have known some secrets, which is why he was killed. The person behind this is quite cruel and ruthless, even destroying his soul."
Gu Yunni sighed silently on the side, feeling that the little eunuch was very pitiful.
After all, helping the person behind the scenes did not end well and he was killed.
"Yun Ni, what do you mean by this? Why can't this prince understand?"
She sighed, "This person's soul has been reduced to ashes, forever and ever, with no chance of reincarnation."
On the other side, the East Palace.
"How did it go? Were there any mistakes?"
Du Changming narrowed his eyes, supported his head with his hands, and slowly asked the masked man kneeling on the ground.
