Gu Yunni was trying to speak nicely, but was almost made to spit out what Sheng Mingyu said.
She glared at Sheng Mingyu and stopped talking.
Sheng Mingyu touched his nose, feeling very guilty.
After dinner, he quietly approached Gu Yunni with a flattering tone.
"I just spoke without thinking. Don't be angry with me. I didn't mean it. You know what kind of person I am. I don't usually make mistakes like this. I don't know what happened today."
Sheng Mingyu coaxed her gently, but Gu Yunni looked angry.
He felt itchy and touched Gu Yunni's face, which made her even angrier.
"Well, no matter what, today's incident is my fault. Aren't you going to the palace to speak to His Majesty? His Majesty has known about it since early this morning and is extremely anxious. He is waiting for you to come. Let's not waste time."
"Okay! I'll forgive you for now. If this happens again next time, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Only after using the emperor's ritual did Sheng Mingyu safely pass this hurdle.
Outside the palace, Gu Yunni met the Imperial Master. The two of them just nodded in greeting without saying much, and then entered the palace together.
"Yun Ni, you're finally here. Mingyu is so stupid. I don't know what's going on. He can't explain the whole story. Tell me what's going on. Why haven't you solved the evil spirit? If we delay any longer, it will endanger the health of the people."
As soon as he saw Gu Yunni appear, the emperor's eyes lit up and he asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. I have already taken care of everything. I will not let the people suffer, nor will anyone get hurt. I have my own reasons for leaving the evil spirit behind. Since the Imperial Master is here today, why not let him talk to you?"
Gu Yunni spoke in a gentle tone and slowly.
The emperor's heart was also calmed down. He looked at the imperial teacher, and the other party quickly confessed the truth.
"Your Majesty, there is someone controlling this, but we don't know who it is. We can only leave the evil spirit behind for now. It has a clue about that person, although it is only a little. If we can find it, it would be great. Otherwise, Kyoto will be lurking in an inexplicable danger."
"That's right! Originally, there were only a few of us who knew the mystical arts. If another person who knew the mystical arts appeared in Kyoto, no one knew what he would do. It's always better to be on guard." The National Master explained in front, and Gu Yunni nodded in agreement behind.
That was exactly what she thought. She had to find the person behind this, otherwise the people would be in danger again and again.
"I don't quite understand what you're thinking, nor do I understand why you made such a decision. But you've always been smart. If you did this, there must be a reason. I have only one request, and I hope you can agree to it."
The emperor listened for a long time with a frown on his face, but he still didn't understand. He could only abandon everything and state his conditions.
Gu Yunni's eyes were full of confusion, and the imperial teacher also looked at the emperor.
"Your Majesty, if you have any questions, please tell me directly. I am your subordinate. If you need my help in any way, I will do my best. Even if I can't do it, I will try my best."
"Yes, Your Majesty, when have you ever been polite to me? If you have something to say, just tell me directly."
The two were slightly surprised and quickly expressed their loyalty.
Since when, Gu Yunni has tacitly accepted that she has become a magician under the emperor.
"I only hope that the people can be safe. If you want to keep the evil spirit and investigate the person from it, that's fine, but if the people are harmed, I will never let it go easily."
His tone was extremely serious, and he looked at the two of them seriously.
"To put it simply, the people are the most important thing. I know you're investigating the person behind this for the benefit of the people, but if Bai Xing is injured, I don't mind abandoning him. As long as he exists, we can find him anyway, but the injured people can't be treated just by chance."
His request was not difficult, and Gu Yunni agreed immediately.
This is a coincidence of ideas. She originally thought so too. If the evil ghost harms the people, who would keep it?
"Okay! Since you two know what's going on, I don't have to worry about it. Have you had your meal? Would you like to have something to eat in the palace? It just so happens that the imperial concubine hasn't seen you for a long time and misses you very much. I heard that you have been busy these days and I didn't dare to disturb you."
The emperor regained his amiable demeanor, spoke in a gentle tone, and looked at Gu Yunni with eyes full of pity.
She will be his daughter-in-law from now on. It makes him happy to think that Gu Yunni is capable and can control Sheng Mingyu.
"I came here today because I really wanted to see the Imperial Concubine. I also brought her a gift, as well as one for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty has time, why not go to the harem this afternoon?"
Gu Yunni answered with a smile, making the emperor laugh.
Only when he was with the couple did the emperor feel that the palace was an ordinary home.
"Okay! You guys go ahead, I'll take care of the government affairs at hand and then leave."
After the emperor finished speaking, several people left.
The Imperial Master looked at Gu Yunni with a smile in his eyes.
"It seems His Majesty is very pleased with you. I don't know when you will take my favor away. If one day His Majesty praises your profound arts as being better than mine, you must teach me some more skills to make it up to me."
"rest assured!"
The two of them joked around for a few minutes, and then saw that a palace maid had come over to urge the imperial concubine to come.
Gu Yunni did not delay any longer and left with Sheng Mingyu.
"I heard that you entered the palace a long time ago. I thought you would come early. Why did you delay for so long? Did you encounter any difficulties? Do you need my help?" The imperial concubine smiled happily, holding Gu Yunni's hand, and spoke in an intimate tone.
"No, Your Majesty, don't worry. I just had a few more words with the Imperial Preceptor."
Gu Yunni explained with a smile, and at the same time, several people walked into the inner hall.
"That's good. Do you still remember the wedding we talked about a few days ago? When can we call your mother into the palace so we can discuss the details? The day is approaching, and the wedding hasn't been prepared yet. People are talking about it outside, and I don't dare to prepare it on my own. I wonder what you like."
"I'm truly sorry, Your Majesty. I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had time to think about this. Don't worry, I'll call my mother into the palace tomorrow, and you can discuss with her what exactly needs to be done."
A few of them chatted and waited for a long time, but the emperor still didn't come.
The imperial concubine frowned, her tone tinged with anxiety, "Go to the front and ask the emperor what he's busy with. Didn't we agree to have dinner together? Old Eight is here, but he still hasn't come."
"Yes." The palace maid nodded in agreement. Just as she was about to go out, she saw the emperor's sedan chair coming from a distance.
"Are you anxious? I was delayed by something in my previous visit. Next time you encounter this situation, you can just eat first and don't have to wait for me."
