"Don't worry, I've dealt with the evil spirit. There won't be any more ghosts in the west of the city. If not, you can just go to the Prince's Mansion and beg me. You don't have to wait outside."
"The Crown Princess is such a good person. Thank you for taking us, the people, into your heart. I hope the Crown Princess will have a smooth life."
When the old man heard this, he couldn't hide the joy on his face, and Gu Yunni also laughed along.
"We didn't come here today for anything else. We mainly wanted to tell you this news. You must also tell the people about it and tell them to remember not to take extreme actions in the future. This is in Kyoto, and setting fires at random can be fatal."
"Yes, thank you, Your Highness, for not blaming me. The people are just too nervous. I'll talk to you later. Please don't bother with them."
Sheng Mingyu followed his instructions and the old man kept nodding.
The few of them got along quite well, and finally the people rushed over and said they would treat Gu Yunni to a meal no matter what.
"Don't be polite with me. I rescued the people west of the city because of His Majesty's orders. If you truly wish to express your gratitude, please remember His Majesty's kindness. His Majesty always puts the people first. Don't doubt it."
"good!"
Gu Yunni had a smile on her face and gave a few more instructions before leaving with the others.
In the blink of an eye, it was night and the sky gradually darkened. Several people said goodbye in the carriage. Gu Yunni stretched, feeling exhausted.
"Finally, I can rest. I've been busy all day. I don't know what will happen tomorrow. Should I go to the palace and talk to His Majesty? If you want to tell me, can you explain it clearly?"
She spoke to Sheng Mingyu weakly.
Sheng Mingyu held Gu Yunni in his arms lovingly and massaged her shoulders and legs.
"I'm not particularly knowledgeable about the mystical arts, and I don't understand exactly how you solved it. Why don't you go to the palace and explain yourself? It just so happens that the Imperial Concubine also wishes to see you, and His Majesty and Eighth Brother haven't seen you in a while."
Sheng Mingyu spoke in a gentle tone. When she heard the title of the Imperial Concubine, Gu Yunni immediately sat up, feeling a little nervous.
"I just said I seemed to have forgotten something important. Didn't the Imperial Concubine say that I had to tell my mother about the marriage? I forgot to tell my mother. Will the Imperial Concubine be angry?"
She couldn't hide her anxiety on her face. Sheng Mingyu shook his head helplessly. He thought something had happened, but it turned out to be just a small matter.
"Don't be impatient. Your Highness is not unreasonable. We all see how busy you have been these past few days. Who would bother with you over such a small matter? Just tell me when you remember it."
"That's right." Sheng Mingyu's comfort was very effective. Although Gu Yunni was still anxious, she felt much better than before.
The wedding is still two months away and the safety of the people has not been resolved. How can she have the mind to focus on the engagement?
"Then I must get a good night's sleep today. I've been so exhausted these past few days because of the people's affairs. I have to go to the palace to report something tomorrow. If I don't get a good night's sleep, I'm afraid His Majesty will think I'm being abused."
As soon as Gu Yunni finished speaking, she fell drowsy. Sheng Mingyu wanted to continue chatting with her, but looking at her dark circles, he felt a little distressed.
Time passed minute by minute, and the carriage fell into silence. Until they arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Gu Yunni had already fallen asleep soundly.
Mo Qing opened the car door and was about to speak when Sheng Mingyu stopped him.
He carefully carried Gu Yunni down, placed her on the bed, tucked in the quilt before returning to his yard.
Early the next morning, Gu Yunni woke up slowly, stretched, and felt relaxed all over.
"Miss, you're finally awake. I was wondering how long you'd sleep in. The sun's already blazing down on your butt. Don't you have to go to the palace today? If you don't go now, His Majesty will think you're just going to get a free dinner."
Hearing the noise coming from the house, Qing'er came in with the maids, joking.
Gu Yunni's face flushed. "How come it's noon already? I thought it was very early. Why didn't you wake me up? I should have gone there to tell you during the morning court session so as not to worry the ministers."
"I wanted to call you, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stopped me and told you to have a good rest. If there is something he will take care of, then I will naturally let you have a good sleep. Don't you see how busy you have been these past few days?"
Qing'er's words made a lot of sense. Gu Yunni was speechless and a sweet feeling filled her heart.
Everyone said that Sheng Mingyu was extremely cold, but only she knew that Sheng Mingyu's heart was hot.
"Forget it. I won't argue with you about today. Hurry up and get dressed. Let's go to the front hall to see if His Royal Highness has returned. We still have to go to the palace, so we must not delay. His Majesty has been most worried about the people these days."
"Okay, okay! I'll do whatever you say, young lady."
Several maids were busy in the room for a long time before Gu Yunni was finally dressed.
When she ran out, she saw Sheng Mingyu already sitting in the front hall eating lunch.
She also quickly sat down on the table, took a deep sniff, and felt satisfaction rising in her heart.
"The cooks did a pretty good job today, they deserve a reward!"
"oh?"
Ever since Gu Yunni appeared, Sheng Mingyu has had a smile on his face. Looking at her like this, he couldn't help but feel happy too.
"Why do I feel like you're in a good mood today? Since you said you want to reward me, then Mo Qing, hurry up and do it, but be sure to remember every word the Crown Princess says!"
"yes."
Sheng Mingyu also remembered Gu Yunni's casual joke.
She was very satisfied and looked at him with a sweet smile.
"I heard that you were the one who carried me into the room yesterday. Why didn't you wake me up? You didn't even bother being tired. You've been going through a lot these past few days. You feel bad for me, and I feel bad for you, too."
"So what?" Sheng Mingyu smiled even more happily when he heard Gu Yunni's question.
"I'm holding my fiancée, so naturally I'm happy. Besides, you're not heavy. You're already so thin, so it's okay for me to hold you more. If you like, I'll hold you all day long, and you won't have to walk on the ground."
Sheng Mingyu's words were so affectionate that Gu Yunni blushed. She turned her head away and stopped talking to Sheng Mingyu, and started eating the food in front of her.
"I don't know who you learned this from, but you're always so smooth-talking. Hurry up and eat! Even eating can't stop you from talking. Don't you still have to go to the palace to speak to His Majesty? If you delay any further, don't blame His Majesty for being angry."
Seeing that Gu Yunni's face was as red as an apple, Sheng Mingyu didn't go any further and the two of them sat together to have lunch.
"I really can't eat anymore. Stop putting food in my bowl. If you want to eat, take more for yourself. I see that your health is worse than mine. You eat too little."
"What's wrong with that? Do you want to try it?"
