"Your Highness, please spare me. I really don't know where they came from. I rushed here as soon as I received the news. This is full of the residences of the masters. It's not surprising that there are secret guards. The guards usually can't patrol here."
As he spoke, he glanced at Sheng Mingyu secretly.
Sheng Mingyu frowned, puzzled. "Then why didn't anyone come out to rescue us? The carriage from the Prince's Mansion is clearly parked here. Do they have any objections to me?"
"This..." Jingzhao Yin looked embarrassed and hesitated to tell the truth.
"Speak!" Sheng Mingyu roared, which scared him and forced him to tell the truth.
"Most of the gentlemen who live here have been dismissed from their posts and have returned to their hometowns long ago. Some are still in prison awaiting execution. The remaining gentlemen hold lower ranks and do not have many guards in their mansions."
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Sheng Mingyu stood there in a daze, and then a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"So that's how it is. I can't blame them. Everything started because of me. But I need an explanation for what happened today. Why would someone in Kyoto assassinate me? Are you guys so careless?"
"Your Highness, rest assured. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and send the clues to your residence. I will never let you suffer in vain."
Seeing Sheng Mingyu give in, Jingzhao Yin also felt relieved.
Sheng Mingyu didn't say much and left with Gu Yunni.
Today's assassination was relatively small, so he didn't take it seriously.
Gu Yunni asked doubtfully, "Who do you think is behind this? Do you have any guesses?"
"Apart from those who were dismissed from office, there are only a few princes left. Otherwise, no one would hate me so much. These people can't cause any trouble, so there's no need to worry."
Sheng Mingyu curled up the corner of his mouth in a sarcastic smile, not taking them seriously at all.
"I'm not worried about you getting hurt, but you must be careful. Who knows what tricks they might use behind the scenes? You're in the spotlight right now. If you fall into their trap, it won't be easy to escape."
"knew."
Gu Yunni nodded and said no more to Sheng Mingyu.
She knew Sheng Mingyu's abilities. Even if everyone else was hurt, he wouldn't be hurt.
Night fell and it was pitch dark. Gu Yunni was just falling asleep when she heard the Imperial Master yelling outside, which scared her awake.
"Qing'er, what's going on outside? Isn't the Imperial Master in the Imperial Master's Mansion? Why is he in the Prince's Mansion?" Gu Yunni looked confused and frowned.
Qing'er hurried into the house, put a coat on Gu Yunni, and told her the whole story.
"I heard that the house of the Minister of Revenue was haunted, and the young lady was frightened to death. The daughter of the Minister of Revenue doesn't go out often, and I heard that she doesn't want to interact with outsiders. After this fright, I'm afraid she's lost her life."
There was a look of regret on Qing'er's face.
This daughter of the Minister of Revenue was known as a talented woman at a young age, but she didn't like to go out, and her reputation became less and less.
"Minister of Revenue? This Minister doesn't seem to appear in the court very often. How come I've never heard of his name?"
Gu Yunni looked confused. She took Qing'er's hand and got up, put on her clothes and walked out.
"Yes! I heard that the Minister of Revenue has a very good relationship with the current emperor and is considered a relative. He usually only manages money and rarely even attends court. It's normal that you don't know."
"Is that so! What's going on with the Imperial Master? Why is he making such a fuss outside? He doesn't even care about his status. Although it's the Prince's Mansion, there are many people around. If this gets out, he will be so embarrassed." Gu Yunni continued to ask.
At this point, Qing'er covered her mouth and laughed, "Isn't it embarrassing? But the Imperial Master insisted that only you could solve this problem, and he couldn't do it alone, so he came to the Prince's mansion to make a scene. But the Prince said you were sleeping, so the Imperial Master sat in the yard and started crying."
Gu Yunni looked at Qing'er with a look of doubt. Why are these two people as childish as children?
"Miss, please go and see what's going on. If you don't show up, the Imperial Preceptor will probably cry in the Prince's Mansion until morning. He seems to be almost hoarse."
Qing'er shook her head and laughed. Gu Yunni was helpless and took her out of the yard.
Not far away, he saw the Imperial Master kneeling in front of Sheng Mingyu with tears and snot.
"Ahem... you said you had nothing to do, so why did you stop him outside? If he had something urgent to do, just let him in. I'm just taking a nap, not feeling unwell."
Gu Yun Nishen spoke strangely, and both of them were attracted by her.
The Imperial Master immediately ran over, and Sheng Mingyu followed behind, unable to catch up no matter how hard he tried.
"You finally came out. I thought you were going to sleep till what hour. If I didn't wake you up even with my loud voice, then you must have a really good sleep quality."
As he said this, he was about to drag Gu Yunni out.
Sheng Mingyu ran up, pulled his hand away, and looked at him warily.
"Yun Ni needs a break these days, so what's the point of dragging her out? Isn't the Minister of Revenue's Mansion haunted? What you can solve has been solved. Yun Ni will just be watching the show if she goes there again. Don't bother her anymore."
Sheng Mingyu frowned, his tone full of blame.
Gu Yunni's health was getting worse day by day. She finally had a chance to rest, but she was disturbed by the Imperial Master. How could this man be so inconsiderate?
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what I just said about the young lady of the Minister of Revenue's residence? She's almost going crazy. If Gu Yunni doesn't go over, how am I supposed to handle it alone? Not to mention that I'm a man and it's inconvenient for me to get close to her, even if I were a woman, I wouldn't have the ability to do this!"
The Imperial Master was furious and pointed at Sheng Mingyu's nose and cursed at him.
In the past, Sheng Mingyu was quite sensible, but as soon as it came to Gu Yunni, his brain wasn't enough.
"Why did you become a fool? Don't say you were scared. This has to do with your mental health. I can't help you!"
Gu Yunni was very surprised, and then made a guess.
This kind of thing is not uncommon.
"No, I think it looks like there's a fierce ghost living in her body. I heard from the Minister of Revenue that his daughter has been like this since she came home from the Taoist temple. She was fine at first, but in recent days, she has killed many scary people at home. Especially today, there were so many little ghosts surrounding his daughter and yelling, that's why she's so scared."
The Imperial Master shook his head and recounted the entire incident.
He didn't want to look for Gu Yunni at first, as this matter should be his responsibility, but he had no choice but to come and cause trouble since he really couldn't solve it.
"A fierce ghost?"
Sure enough, when Gu Yunni heard his words, her expression became stern.
"Come with me and see what's going on. If it's really a ghost, we need to deal with it right away. We can't delay, otherwise the whole of Kyoto will be in trouble."
