"Look at my brain, I've forgotten the time. You two should go back to the palace and rest. Don't stay here. Remember to call your mother tomorrow so I can discuss this with her."
When she gets excited about something, she will ignore time.
Gu Yunni smiled and shook her head, not caring at all.
Everyone exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving the palace.
"Eighth brother, are you resting in the Imperial Concubine's palace? Why don't you go to the palace where I live? We can chat as brothers."
From beginning to end, the Eighth Prince didn't say anything. As soon as he went out, Sheng Mingyu pulled him aside to chat.
"Okay! I should be resting in the side hall next to you. If you need my company, I can go to your place. Otherwise, I'll be bored here by myself."
The eighth prince smiled sincerely.
Sheng Mingyu took him away directly. Gu Yunni wanted to go with them, but was stopped by the emperor.
"I wonder why Your Majesty is looking for me?"
She saluted obediently, but then became nervous again. If the imperial concubine was gentle, then the emperor was strict and had great imperial majesty.
Every time she talked to him, Gu Yunni felt nervous all over.
"I'm looking for you for nothing important. I heard you have a brother who's studying at the academy. He's top-notch in every subject, and even the teacher is full of praise. I've heard about this. If you have time, could you bring your brother here for me to see?"
The emperor pulled up a stiff smile, for fear of scaring Gu Yunni.
She stood there for a long time, but couldn't figure out how Gu Changan caught the emperor's eye.
"If Your Majesty wishes to see me, I will bring my brother here tomorrow. However, my brother has probably never learned the rules of etiquette. If I have offended Your Majesty in any way, please spare my life."
Regardless of anything, Gu Yunni pleaded first.
The emperor is the most moody, and Gu Chang'an should be spared from saying something wrong and causing trouble again.
"Don't worry, I won't kill everyone I see. Besides, your brother is quite knowledgeable about the rules, otherwise he wouldn't be valued by the Master. Just bring him here."
The emperor held his forehead helplessly. He couldn't figure out what kind of image he had in Gu Yunni's mind. Why did she become so defensive?
"If I want your brother to make some achievements in the court, what do you think? If you don't want to rely on the Changping Marquis's Mansion, then you must let your brother enter the court as an official, otherwise you will not be able to gain a foothold in the Prince's Mansion."
Gu Yunni was about to leave when she was stopped by the emperor again. What the emperor said made her shudder all over and she looked back in disbelief.
"His Majesty……"
"Think about this matter today carefully. If you can't figure it out, you might as well ask your brother for his opinion. He can make the decision on his own, but you have to promise that he will help Mingyu."
The emperor left a word and turned away.
Gu Yunni pondered for a long time and walked out with excitement and calmness in her heart.
Sheng Mingyu's palace was right next to Gu Yunni. As soon as she walked past the door, he called her.
"Yun Ni, what did His Majesty say to you just now? If there's anything excessive, don't think too much about it."
Sheng Mingyu frowned, a little worried.
He originally wanted to stay at the scene, but His Majesty did not allow it, and he could not contradict him.
"Don't worry, His Majesty didn't say anything excessive. He just told me some things, and the other thing was about my family."
Gu Yunni smiled gently, struggling with whether she should tell Sheng Mingyu what had just happened.
"Really?" Sheng Mingyu was skeptical and looked at Gu Yunni suspiciously.
"If there's anything else, you must tell me. I can work with you to find a solution. Even if His Majesty makes excessive demands, I can still intercede. If you've been wronged, I'll be worried."
His tone was full of concern, and Gu Yunni was touched, but still did not say the details.
These are originally related to Sheng Mingyu, and he has the right to know.
The two stood at the palace gate and exchanged greetings for a long time before Gu Yunni left again.
The eighth prince came out from the side, looked at Sheng Mingyu, and shook his head helplessly.
"My brother really dotes on the Crown Prince's Consort. I've noticed that none of my other brothers are so devoted to their wives. Only Father truly loves Mother, and you have inherited his affection."
His tone was full of envy and his eyes revealed longing.
"You're not old enough yet. You'll meet someone you like when you get older. Don't worry."
"That's right." The Eighth Prince nodded, agreeing with this statement.
On the second day, the news that Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu stayed overnight in the palace spread like wildfire, causing suspicion among the ministers.
"Why do I always feel that Your Majesty has been too close to His Royal Highness lately? Although you loved the Crown Prince in the past, you never treated him like your own son like this. Do you think it's possible that there is some relationship between Your Majesty and His Royal Highness that we are not aware of?"
On the way to the morning court, several great gods gathered together and discussed.
These people were not affected by yesterday's incident, but they still couldn't control their mouths.
"Bah! Are you crazy? The most difficult person to mess with in the court right now is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If you dare to gossip again, His Majesty will never let you go!"
"Yeah, why do you care what His Majesty thinks? Who can imagine what this gentleman is thinking? You'd better be honest!"
People avoided him like the plague.
Sheng Mingyu was calm and composed in the back, not caring about these people's speculations at all.
"Brother, when do you think you'll reveal your relationship with our father? That way, we won't have to keep these ministers guessing. I really want to openly call you my brother."
The Eighth Prince looked like he was enjoying the show, which made Sheng Mingyu roll his eyes.
"If you want to know, you might as well ask His Majesty. How do I know what His Majesty is thinking? Perhaps I feel ashamed."
The Eighth Prince looked disapproving, and the two of them chatted as they arrived at the court.
When he and Gu Yunni were leaving the palace again, they were assassinated halfway.
"Your Highness! Let's lead them away!" Mo Qing's anxious voice came.
"No need! This is within the Imperial City. Someone will be patrolling here soon. They dared to assassinate here, so they must be determined to die. There's no need to panic."
Sheng Mingyu had a cold expression on his face. He walked out of the carriage and went to meet the enemy with Mo Qing.
Gu Yunni forced herself to remain calm and sat aside, holding the knife in her hand to protect her chest, and also prepared a few talismans in her left hand.
Fortunately, Jingzhao Yin arrived in time and no casualties were caused, but he was still hit.
"What exactly is going on? Why are there so many secret guards in the imperial city? You must give this prince an explanation. How dare you attack so brazenly on the road? How audacious!"
His tone was cold, and Jingzhao Yin quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
This gentleman has just caused a bloody storm in Kyoto. If you insist on making a fuss about it, he will lose his life immediately.
