The counselor frowned, and his tone was no longer as stiff as before, showing signs of warming up slightly.
He placed all his hopes on the Second Prince and would never allow him to lose.
"Everything I do is done behind the scenes. Sheng Mingyu can't possibly know. You don't have to worry so much. No matter how powerful he is, he can't know everything. Don't worry, I'm prepared for everything."
The second prince calmed down and his tone became much better.
The counselor's expression softened and he nodded, still admonishing, "Just be aware of this. Sheng Mingyu is not easy to deal with, so we should be cautious. We've worked so hard to establish a good relationship, and it's not worth giving it up over some trivial matter. You must be patient."
"I understand." The second prince waved his hand and turned to leave.
At this time, Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion and were sitting in the hall.
"Do you think His Majesty can truly find the mastermind behind today's incident? If he does, how will he deal with the person behind it? His sons are inevitably involved, so what if he can't take action?"
Shangguan An was unwilling to be ignored, so he sat aside and asked.
He had already heard about what happened in the palace and wanted to go in to help Sheng Mingyu, but was stopped by Gu Yunni. At this moment, his heart was full of resentment.
"Aren't you also His Majesty's son? How could you speak to your brothers like that? Even if they did it, what can you do about it? Can you find a way to bring them to justice?"
Sheng Mingyu looked at Shangguan An with a teasing tone in his voice.
He looked down on this man from the beginning to the end. If Shangguan An was not still useful to him, he would have given up long ago.
"That's not possible." Shangguan An shook his head without any embarrassment.
"I still have some influence in Jiangnan. My mother left me many people. But now that I'm in Kyoto, I can only rely on you. Otherwise, I wouldn't cooperate with you. How can I do what you can't do?"
His tone was relaxed, and Sheng Mingyu raised his eyebrows. He never thought that Shangguan An was so open-minded.
"Didn't you say His Majesty is your father? Then go to His Majesty and resolve the matter. If you confess your identity, perhaps His Majesty will really side with you. After all, he will at least dote on his son who was born without any reason."
Upon hearing Sheng Mingyu's proposal, Shangguan An shook his head desperately, "No! You already said that now is not the best time. If I rush into the palace in a hurry and something happens, will you help me solve it? Don't treat me like a fool!"
If it was in the past, I would have just said it.
Such a big thing happened to Sheng Mingyu today. He is not a fool, so why should he hand it over to others?
"Oh? You're so sensible. This prince is really not used to it."
"Although I may not be as strategic as you Kyoto people, I'm definitely not a fool. Don't try to fool me."
Shangguan An rolled his eyes, stopped talking to Sheng Mingyu, and turned back to the yard.
Only Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu stayed together, looking at him with particular curiosity.
"What did you mean by that? Didn't I tell you not to reveal his identity so easily? If there's a change of plan, we should be prepared as soon as possible."
Sheng Mingyu looked nonchalant, "It's just a casual test. He's always concerned about the affairs of the palace. This prince is tired of seeing him, so why not just shut him up."
"You!" Gu Yunni shook her head helplessly and tapped Sheng Mingyu's forehead. "You're always fussing like a child. It leaves me speechless."
"Don't you like it?" Sheng Mingyu smiled gently at Gu Yunni, asking in a questioning tone, which made Gu Yunni blush.
"What can I like? If you were more normal, maybe I would like it. Okay, let's stop discussing these useless things. Your Majesty, the question Shangguan An raised just now was not in vain. I am curious too."
Gu Yunni didn't want to get caught up in this atmosphere and hurriedly changed the subject.
"If you ask who is behind this, it must be one of the princes. Although I haven't figured it out yet, it must be one of them."
Sheng Mingyu expressed his guess and Gu Yunni listened carefully.
"I don't know what decision His Majesty will make, whether he will side with me or his sons, but I have already made preparations. Even if His Majesty doesn't side with me, I will definitely make that person pay the price."
His eyes were vicious, which scared Gu Yunni.
Then a smile spread across her lips, her eyes filled with support, "That's what you should do. Fight back. Don't let yourself be wronged."
"nature."
The two of them looked at each other and understood what was in each other's eyes. They were definitely not the kind of people who would be inferior to others.
"Alright, I won't waste any more of your time. Go and get back to your business. If you have time, you can also get in touch with the Third Prince. I think he's better than all the other princes."
"Okay, I understand."
The two of them stood and talked for a long time before Gu Yunni left.
Sheng Mingyu pressed his forehead, feeling a severe headache.
Mo Qing quietly appeared beside him, "Master, how about I give you a massage? You've been busy these past few days, and I'm tired of watching you."
"No need. How are those things handled? Have the people been appeased? Is there any news about the people behind this?" Sheng Mingyu shook his head and talked about business.
He has a lot of things to deal with, so where does he have time to rest?
"The news came back too quickly, and the person behind it hasn't been found yet. However, we did get the news. It's very likely that the Second Prince and the Seventh Prince have joined forces. The people you mentioned have also been resettled. We've found them accommodation in Kyoto."
Sheng Mingyu said no, and Mo Qing didn't want to insist, so he just honestly told him the information he had found out.
This was what Sheng Mingyu had ordered before, and he dared not forget it at all.
"Second Prince? This second brother of mine truly regards me as a thorn in his side. I don't know why he is so fed up with me. On the surface, he wants to cooperate with me, but behind the scenes, he keeps trying to trip me up."
When Sheng Mingyu heard the names of these two people, he couldn't help laughing.
Come to think of it, it seems to be like this.
Besides these two, who else in Kyoto could attack me?
"I don't know." Mo Qing shook his head honestly.
"You naturally don't know. He doesn't want me to go up, but he also doesn't want me to fall down. If anything happens to me, he'll be more worried than anyone else. But if nothing happens, he'll be the source of trouble."
Sheng Mingyu was extremely impatient, but he couldn't uproot the second prince, so he could only endure it.
"Master, what do you think we should do? Do I need to report this to His Majesty? I see His Majesty has sent people to search, but they haven't found any evidence."
"Not for now. His Majesty's ability is superior to this prince's. Let him investigate slowly. Besides, you don't have any evidence. Even if you report it to His Majesty, he won't be able to make a decision."
Sheng Mingyu shook his head. Mo Qing looked at Sheng Mingyu without saying anything and also retreated obediently.
