"It's not that Your Majesty doesn't have anyone available. I guess he's worried about his son. I just wonder what kind of trouble Du Changming will cause this time."
Gu Yunni smiled helplessly. His Majesty was good in every way except that he was too soft-hearted.
Even though I know these two people are unforgivable, I still want to save them.
"Heh!" Sheng Mingyu sneered, his face cold and indifferent.
"I don't know if it's because they've been together as father and son for so long that they've developed feelings for each other. He actually treats his fake son as his real son! He doesn't even bother to see if his son is up to standard or not."
Sheng Mingyu looked angry, and Gu Yunni hurried to comfort him.
"Alright, why are you so angry about such a small matter? You know Du Changming's character. He won't be safe this time. He will probably cause trouble again. If he embarrasses himself in front of the envoy, he will never be able to recover."
"Too."
What Gu Yunni said made sense, and Sheng Mingyu was no longer angry. He played with her hands and talked about what they had just discussed in the imperial study.
"His Majesty sent me back to tell you that you and the Imperial Master need to spend more time in Kyoto over the next few days. If you find any problems, solve them immediately. Don't embarrass yourself in front of the envoy. Kyoto has been haunted recently, and it scared him."
Looking at Gu Yunni's pale face, Sheng Mingyu's eyes were filled with a trace of heartache.
"If you really don't want to move, let the Imperial Master go alone. He did it alone before, so it won't be impossible. You still need to rest well. You've been too tired these past few days."
"Nothing." Gu Yunni smiled and shook her head.
"Your Majesty, it's my blessing that you remember me. I must do my best to help you win face in front of Your Majesty. Don't worry about me. I'm still very interested in exorcising ghosts. I'm just wandering around outside. It won't be tiring at all."
"Alright! You must put your body first. If you feel uncomfortable, tell us immediately, but don't force yourself to do it."
The two discussed for a long time and it was getting dark.
Sheng Mingyu sent Gu Yunni to the yard before leaving.
Early the next morning, the Prince's Mansion became busy. Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu had breakfast and left.
Gu Yunni met the Imperial Master in the shop. "Where do you think we should investigate? I don't have any ideas. Everything depends on your preferences. I haven't left the mansion for a long time, and I don't know where trouble is likely to occur in Kyoto."
The Imperial Master sat lazily on the chair next to her, his hands and feet were very restless, kicking the chair and drinking tea, which made Gu Yunni annoyed.
"I don't know where to start. How about we each take charge of one area? You go to the west side of the city and I'll go to the east. How about we do both the north and south?"
"No!" Upon hearing Gu Yunni's suggestion, the Imperial Master immediately jumped up from his chair.
"I won't go to the west of the city. It's a hot potato. Every haunting starts in the west of the city. If you really want to investigate, why don't you go to the west of the city and have a look? Or we can go together. Anyway, I won't go there alone." He was very resistant and had no intention of giving in.
Gu Yunni rubbed his forehead, his tone revealing helplessness. "I'm thinking that the matter has just been resolved, and no matter how chaotic it is over there, it can't get much worse. Since you don't want to go, then I'll go. The south and north of the city are a big project. Let's meet at the store and go together."
"Okay." The Imperial Master didn't hesitate and separated from Gu Yunni.
I don’t know if the people of Kyoto have also heard the rumors, but they all know the rules very well, and the streets today are much more orderly than before.
"Miss, I heard an envoy has arrived. His Majesty has issued a death order to restore the west side of the city to its original state as soon as possible. The Jingzhao Yin is supervising the work over there. Should we really go there? It's all dusty."
Qing'er's face showed a hint of disgust.
Gu Yunni glanced at her and nodded, not caring much. "Since I said I'd go, of course I'll go. We need to conduct a thorough inspection there. The west side of the city is indeed the most difficult area to manage. We don't know if there will be any hidden dangers. Don't be too restrained when you get there. Use your abilities."
"Yes." Qing'er nodded reluctantly.
Gu Yunni had strange thoughts in her mind, but she remained calm and took Qing'er with her.
At this time, Sheng Mingyu was in the west of the city, standing with Jingzhao Yin, frowning and commanding his guards.
"Turn over all the soil here. If you can't plant flowers or grass, then make some fake things. It can't be all burnt brown, at least bring some green plants. Even though the envoy may not come here, we still have to do what needs to be done."
Mo Qing was busy running around, and the guards around Sheng Mingyu were not idle either, and they all helped personally.
"Didn't you say you were going to the palace today? Why are you in the west of the city? Is there anything you need to do in person here? Do you need my help?"
Sheng Mingyu was about to speak when he heard Gu Yunni's cheerful voice.
He turned to look at Gu Yunni, his eyes gleaming with surprise, and hurried over. "Why are you here? I thought you weren't coming to the west of the city. Where did the Imperial Master go? You should have let him take care of such a simple place."
"I really wanted to give it to him, but he didn't want to come, so I had to come here myself. But it's okay. If I hadn't come, how would I have met you?" Gu Yunni couldn't suppress the smile on her lips, and looked at Sheng Mingyu with gentle eyes.
"You haven't told me yet, why are you here in the west of the city? Didn't you come to the palace early this morning? I thought you would discuss with His Majesty how to protect the safety of Kyoto, or at least come up with a blueprint. Aren't you busy today?"
Sheng Mingyu nodded and replied, "It's okay. His Majesty has restored the west side of the city to its original state. I thought this was a good opportunity, so I came out to do it myself. There's not much going on in the palace, and the Eighth Prince is watching, so the others dare not make any big moves."
"Indeed, he had just been released from the palace. If he still doesn't behave himself, His Majesty will immediately lock him up again. It's really time for him to be quiet."
The two talked for a long time before Jingzhao Yin came up to greet them with a smile, "May the Crown Princess be well."
"You are too polite, sir. Are you not busy today? Could it be that the task of cleaning up the west side of the city has been handed over to you?"
Gu Yunni smiled distantly but not rudely.
The Jingzhao Yin looked at her flatteringly, "Yes, I have done too many wrong things in the past. Your Majesty is asking me to atone for my sins and improve the lives of the people. I can't hide in the palace all the time, so I came out to help His Royal Highness."
"Sir, you are so self-deprecating. How long have you been the Jingzhao Yin? If it weren't for your dedication to serving the people and guarding the capital, how could the capital be so safe? The ghost story should be blamed on me and the Imperial Master."
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Jingzhao Yin felt a little embarrassed. "Princess, please don't flatter me. I know how many mistakes I have made, and today I am making amends for my mistakes. But I must make some achievements and satisfy Your Majesty."
