"Don't worry, Your Highness. Leave the matter to me. I will definitely handle it properly and will not leave any clues for the other party to notice."
"When I ascend the throne, I will definitely treat you well and make you a first-rank official."
Upon hearing this, the masked man kneeling on the ground immediately kowtowed and swore a solemn oath.
"I am willing to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for my entire life. If I disobey you in the slightest, I will be struck by lightning!"
Du Changming raised his eyelids, said nothing more, and walked outside with his hands behind his back. The peony flowers were now blooming beautifully.
"I need to go see my father. You must pay close attention to the Anguo Mansion during this period. If there is any disturbance, you must inform me immediately. Do not act on your own. Otherwise, I will make sure you know what it means to live a life worse than death."
Du Changming deliberately said the words "rebirth is worse than death", believing that the person in front of him was a smart person.
"Your Highness, rest assured. I will definitely follow your rules. Your Highness likes obedient people, and I happen to be an obedient person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Changming turned around and headed towards the palace.
Looking at the red walls and tiles, with the breeze blowing on his face and the fragrance invading his nostrils, at that moment, he felt refreshed.
When I arrived outside the imperial study, I found that the emperor was not there.
After thinking for a moment, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe it was in the Parliament Chamber?
When I walked over, I found that the door of the parliament was tightly closed, and the emperor was indeed there.
I heard that this national teacher is quite capable.
In that case, he had to see it for himself.
The eunuch beside him saw the prince coming and saluted respectfully, "Your Highness, your Majesty is currently discussing matters of national destiny with the Imperial Master. Please wait a moment at the door."
What is this about national destiny? Du Changming was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.
But no matter what happens in the end, this world will always belong to him, and no one can take it away from him.
No matter what, he is the crown prince of the current dynasty.
Du Changming's face looked very ugly. After all, he was the prince. What did it look like for him to just stand at the door and wait?
But when he thought of the identity of the person inside, he had no choice but to lean against the wood.
The subtle fragrance emanating from the wood actually relieved his inner depression.
Suddenly, there was a creaking sound and the door opened. Looking inside, the Imperial Master felt strangely familiar.
But he was wearing a bamboo hat, so his face couldn't be seen clearly.
"Your Majesty, do not worry too much. I will observe the celestial phenomena at night and pay close attention."
The Imperial Master saw someone in front of him, looked forward, and happened to see Du Changming.
The Imperial Master looked carefully and found that Du Changming was not protected by the Ziwei constellation.
This man is the crown prince, shouldn't he be protected by the Purple Star? Why...
Du Changming could sense that the Imperial Master in front of him was sizing him up. He walked forward, nodded, and greeted him, "Master Imperial Master."
"Your Highness is too polite. You are a descendant of a rich family, but I have no royal blood at all. If Your Highness were to pay you a visit, it would cost me my life."
After all, as a member of the royal family, he naturally has the stars that protect him.
For example, the emperor of the current dynasty is the true dragon emperor, and he has a very strong aura.
"I've heard that the Imperial Master is highly skilled in Taoism. Would you be willing to help me predict my future?"
"If we predict the future now, we will probably be punished by heaven."
As soon as he finished speaking, Du Changming's expression changed, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his calm demeanor.
I have to say, the speed at which he changes his expression is as fast as turning pages of a book.
"Your Highness, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed. If you want to go against heaven, heaven will naturally come to seek revenge on you." The national teacher was extremely serious.
He looked around and asked, "Why does the Imperial Master always wear a bamboo hat?"
Suddenly, a strong wind blew by.
The imperial teacher's hat was blown to the ground by the wind, revealing his handsome face.
"The Imperial Master looks like a weak scholar, what a pity..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw him straighten his hat and leave suddenly.
Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu were in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, wondering who had killed this man.
"What I want to know more is, does the Emperor know that this person is a spy?"
Gu Yunni touched her chin, "It's possible that the prince killed him, but as for why his soul is gone... maybe there is a Taoist priest by his side?"
"Yun Ni, you said there's a Taoist priest by his side? That Taoist priest must be quite accomplished."
Otherwise, how can this be achieved?
"I don't know, but what I do know is that the Taoists around him are uneducated and only take crooked paths, so it's easy for them to become neither human nor ghost." Gu Yunni answered seriously.
Now that the person is dead and has no soul, we can only bury him.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Mingyu ordered at this moment: "Drag this body to the mass grave. Without the order of this prince, you cannot bury it."
The corners of Gu Yunni's mouth twitched. It had to be said that Sheng Mingyu was a man who held grudges.
However, during the time I spent with him, I felt that he was a very good person to his subordinates.
Who told this man to betray him? He who sins brings disaster upon himself.
Gu Yunni also hates unfaithful and unjust people.
Sheng Mingyu turned his head and looked at Gu Yunni, unable to resist asking, "Do you think this prince is cruel?"
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? How could Your Highness be cruel?"
Sheng Mingyu smiled and said nothing more.
"The most urgent thing is, what do you think we should do? This person has no soul, so the clues are gone."
"Your Highness, I think the person who hurt him is probably still in the Duke of Anguo's Mansion. All we need to do next is to make a feint to the east and attack in the west."
Still in the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion?
"What do you think we should do? How can we catch the person behind this?"
How can we catch the person behind this... Gu Yunni touched his chin and looked up at the lotus pond in front of him.
While she was thinking, she unexpectedly heard another knock on the door.
This voice successfully disrupted Gu Yunni's thoughts, and her face suddenly turned very dark.
The butler opened the door and found a servant holding an invitation. "This is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Sheng Mingyu strode forward and found that it was an invitation. When he saw the name written on it, he suddenly understood.
"This Kou Mingxue is planning to hold a lotus viewing banquet. What's the purpose?"
The servant looked up and saw Gu Yunni, and hurriedly rummaged through the letters beside him, took out another one, and handed it to Gu Yunni respectfully.
Gu Yunni didn't expect that there was still someone for her. After all, she and Kou Mingxue didn't have a good relationship.
She picked up the invitation and took a closer look, only to find that the Lotus Viewing Banquet would be held in three days.
"I thought I didn't have an invitation from you, but I didn't expect you to receive one. What's your intention?"
The servant next to him felt pressured when he heard what Gu Yunni said, and his head almost dropped to the ground.
"I don't know. This is all the young lady's request. I am only responsible for completing the task. I hope the young lady will not blame me."
