"Father, do you really want to punish my second brother so severely? He's your son. Haven't you always been lenient with him? You've always given him a chance. If my second brother knew, he'd probably be so angry he'd vomit blood."
"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about your subjects. You still have to consider the relationship between father and son. If this matter gets out today, I'm afraid that the people will criticize you."
The two couldn't help but give a few more words of advice.
Others don't care about the emperor, but they can't. If it weren't for Sheng Mingyu, things wouldn't have gotten to this point.
"How could I not have thought of this? But he made many mistakes in Jiangnan before, and this punishment is what he deserves. I have also received evidence of his crimes. He oppressed the people, and I will make it public."
Speaking of this, the emperor felt very regretful.
He used to favor Du Changming and neglected his sons.
He had thought his sons would shine this time, but they all disappointed him. He wondered if it was because he had not paid attention to them since they were young.
The atmosphere was too heavy, and Sheng Mingyu couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I've already made preparations. How could they just be the princes?"
He sighed softly, comforting them and also convincing himself.
Sitting in a high position, he has long been accustomed to all the vicissitudes of life, just like his previous brothers and sisters.
"Okay, Mingyu, don't leave the palace today. Go to the harem to have a meal and bring Yunni with you."
"Okay." The emperor changed the subject, and Sheng Mingyu agreed honestly.
This farce has been going on for a day. I wonder if the threshold of the prince's mansion has been broken down?
He didn't want to make Gu Yunni sad.
"Your Majesty, how about I go back and pick her up myself? Yun Ni will definitely be worried after hearing what's going on in the palace. Only my appearance will reassure her."
"You decide for yourself. I and Old Eight will go to the harem first."
Sheng Mingyu had a happy smile on his face, which made the emperor and the eighth prince shake their heads.
It's really unbearable to watch. In the past, when Sheng Mingyu didn't care about women, I didn't think it was a big deal. But now that he has someone he likes, he's like a fool.
At this time, Gu Yunni was indeed forced into a state of panic in the Prince's Mansion.
After being driven out by the Third Prince, those ministers all came to the gate of the Prince's Mansion crying and shouting.
"My lords, please stop blocking the gate of the Prince's mansion. I've said everything I need to say. The Prince hasn't returned yet. Even if it's a request, you shouldn't block me. I really can't do anything about it."
She tried her best to control her temper and discussed things with everyone in a friendly manner.
I don’t know what’s going on in the palace?
If she had said that, she would have chased the person away long ago.
"Princess, please don't say that. His Highness listens to you the most. He will do whatever you say. Please plead for us! We really know we were wrong."
"Yes, Princess, I happen to have many precious head ornaments at home. If you are willing to plead for me, I will move all these things to the Prince's Mansion later and add them to your petition."
In order to beg Gu Yunni for help, these people used all their abilities.
Some people have their wives and children kneeling beside them, and they don't care whether it is embarrassing or not, as it is better than having their homes confiscated and being executed.
"Stop! Everyone, listen to me. I can't help you with your problem. If you still gather in front of the door, don't blame me for chasing you away."
Gu Yunni pressed her forehead and was about to curse when she saw Marquis Changping running over from the side, pointing at Gu Yunni and cursing.
"How dare you, an unfilial daughter, speak to the gentlemen in such a way! If someone asks you for something, it's your honor. Hurry and invite them to the Prince's Mansion for some tea. Have you forgotten the rules taught by the Marquis' Mansion?"
After he finished speaking, he ignored Gu Yunni, walked up to the prime minister himself, helped the man up, and had a flattering smile on his face.
The Prime Minister rolled his eyes at him and smiled perfunctorily.
"Thank you, Lord, for your consideration. My health is indeed getting worse and worse. If I continue to kneel like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on any longer."
"Yes, the Marquis is very understanding. If there is anything in the future at the Marquis of Changping's Mansion, we will definitely help."
The adults behind him knew when to stop and stood up together.
As if they had planned it beforehand, they all ignored Gu Yunni and directed all their good words towards Marquis Changping.
Gu Yunni stood behind him with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
Seeing that everyone was about to come in, she stopped them.
"I see that the affairs of the gentlemen have been resolved. Why don't we go to the Marquis' Mansion for a cup of tea? Don't stay in the Prince's Mansion. I have long severed ties with the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis will do what he promised."
Her words stunned everyone. They looked at Marquis Changping and then at Gu Yunni, their faces ashen.
Especially the prime minister, who had just said a lot of good things to Marquis Changping in order to save his life.
"Bah! You unfilial daughter! You are my daughter, and you are marrying into the Crown Prince's mansion. I am also his father-in-law. So what if I go in and have a cup of tea with you all? Are you going to kick me out?"
His face was gloomy and he started pointing at Gu Yunni and blaming her. Anyway, their relationship had already been torn apart, so he didn't care about it anymore.
"My Lord, are you deaf? I've severed ties with you for almost a year now, how dare you still be so shameless? You insist on sticking to me. You're the Marquis of Changping, so you should have some dignity."
Gu Yunni was not polite at all. She hated being scolded in person, so she immediately retorted.
After Changping was defeated, the Prime Minister was speechless, but he was still anxious and stammering.
"My Lord, you have said that you will take good care of your daughter. Please think of a solution quickly. What should we do? You can't let all of us adults suffer with you, my Lord."
How could a daughter really not recognize her father? For the sake of her life, they are willing to take a chance.
"Don't worry, Prime Minister. I will speak to you properly. I will let you in for tea and make sure the prince no longer blames you."
Marquis Changping was extremely anxious. While speaking, he kept winking at Gu Yunni.
It would be fine if he didn't give face at other times, but this was about the title of Marquis, and he could never give it up.
He quietly took Gu Yunni aside, and Gu Yunni looked at him with a puzzled look on her face.
"Yun Ni, I've made many mistakes in the past. All of them are my fault. I only ask for your forgiveness. Could you please let me take the ministers in for tea first? I don't ask for any promises, just give me some face."
He discussed with Gu Yunni in a gentle tone, almost slapping himself.
In his heart, he still felt that Gu Yunni was just sulking and didn't really want to leave the Marquis' Mansion.
"My Lord, don't joke around. I really don't dare get involved in your mansion. I advise you to take the person away, otherwise I will immediately make you regret coming to the Prince's Mansion."
Gu Yunni refused with a forced smile.
If she were really asked to return to the Marquis' Mansion and face the mother and daughter all day long, she would collapse.
