"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Sheng Mingyu had been standing by and watching. Seeing that Gu Yunni was about to say something, he hurried out to interrupt her.
Jingzhao Yin was shocked.
"Have you forgotten your duties? Why are you always standing here talking to this prince's consort? Hurry and do your work. If you don't do it well, this prince will report you to His Majesty."
Sheng Mingyu's tone was threatening. Jingzhao Yin nodded hurriedly, smiled apologetically at Gu Yunni, and quickly turned and left.
Gu Yunni looked at Sheng Mingyu helplessly.
"You're already a grown man, why are you still acting like a child? Even if I have nothing to say, you can just tell him the truth and let him go. Why are you threatening him? He's already quite old, aren't you afraid of frightening him to death?"
"Tsk! He just sits in his position and does nothing. He deserves to be frightened sick. The position of Jingzhao Yin should have been replaced long ago. It would be better if he left."
Sheng Mingyu curled her lips, not taking it to heart, then grabbed Gu Yunni's hand and walked inside.
"You came here today to see if there are any hidden ghosts here, right? I'll take you in for a walk. The old man I saw the other day just came over to ask about you."
"Really? That's such a coincidence. Let's go over and say hello." She said no more and followed Sheng Mingyu.
The refugees in the west of the city all had smiles on their faces, and when they saw Gu Yunni appear, they all came forward to express their gratitude.
"Thank you so much for your help, Princess Crown Prince. If it weren't for you and His Royal Highness, we would all be homeless today."
"Yes! I don't know what was wrong with me that day that I had to burn down my house. It must be that His Highness was so capable that he was able to put out the fire. Otherwise, we would have to sleep on the street today."
Everyone looked embarrassed and greeted Gu Yunni with blushing faces. They really seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit that day.
"It's okay. I later asked the evil spirit, and it was the one who did something to you. You just need to be careful and don't fall into other people's traps so easily in the future."
Gu Yunni explained with a smile, and everyone suddenly understood.
Sheng Mingyu was shocked and looked back at her with confusion in his eyes.
Only when they reached a place where there was no one did Gu Yunni have time to explain.
"Everyone has the opportunity to reform. Since they already know they were wrong, there's no need to keep holding on to it. They were also controlled by the rumors that day. It's probably because the person behind it was too powerful."
She explained, her face gleaming softly.
Sheng Mingyu's eyes were filled with love, and he held Gu Yunni's hand, unwilling to let go.
"I know you have a kind heart and want to explain to these people, but if you do something wrong, you have to take responsibility. If they don't take responsibility themselves, who else can take responsibility?"
"Next time, next time!" Seeing Sheng Mingyu was about to lecture her, Gu Yunni quickly covered her ears and ran away.
The two ran out of the alley one after the other, with laughter and joy all around them.
The people around all laughed.
Gu Yunni wanted to continue joking with him, but when she reached the door of the house at the edge, she was stunned.
Sheng Mingyu didn't pay attention to what was in front of him, bumped into Gu Yunni, and hugged her in his arms.
"Why don't you run away? Do you want to walk into a trap?" He had a smile on his face, still joking with Gu Yunni.
But Gu Yunni was reluctant to agree, and he realized something was wrong.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? It's my fault. I shouldn't have chased you just now. Why don't I find a place for you to rest so you can get some sleep first?"
Sheng Mingyu's face was filled with anxiety. Gu Yunni put her finger between her lips and signaled him to shut up with her eyes.
After a long time, Sheng Mingyu couldn't help but ask her before she spoke.
"There's a hidden imp here. I detected a different aura when I first arrived here. I don't know if it's too sensitive, but as soon as I sensed something was wrong, it had already fled. But it should still be in the west of the city."
Sheng Mingyu looked serious and looked around.
"Why can't I see the little ghost? Isn't it said that my body is special and can sense it?"
"This is different." Gu Yunni explained and walked around.
Sheng Mingyu also followed her around. Fortunately, there were few people around, otherwise they would think that the two were sick.
"Do you have any way to catch him? Although no one is forcing you to make Kyoto completely clean, without a single imp, you still have to do your best to deal with him, so as to avoid scaring the envoys from other countries."
"There is no way for now." Gu Yunni shook her head and explained.
"I've never come into contact with this little devil, so I don't know what kind of aura he has. I only have a vague sense of it. Even if I have great abilities, I can't completely chase him down. Let's take our time. As long as he's in the city, we'll catch him sooner or later."
Sheng Mingyu didn't think too much about it, and the two of them walked out.
The two walked farther and farther away, and a head appeared from where they had just stood, with a dark light flashing in its eyes.
As soon as they appeared, Mo Qing ran over anxiously, "Where did your Highness go just now? I have been looking for you for a long time. His Majesty asked you to come into the palace."
"Can someone tell me what your Majesty wants to do?"
"No, he seems very anxious. You'd better go in quickly. I'm afraid something has happened to His Majesty."
Sheng Mingyu glanced at Gu Yunni and saw her nod. Without saying anything more, she turned around and got on the carriage.
Gu Yunni looked back at the west of the city again, said hello to Jingzhao Yin, and left.
She waited in the shop for a long time before the Imperial Master came leisurely.
"Why are you back so late? Is there something going on in the east of the city? That place is quite rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. There shouldn't be any ghost errands there. Even a little ghost wouldn't choose that kind of place."
"Of course not. I was just bored, so I went to a restaurant to listen to some music. How are you doing in the west of the city? Did you gain anything?"
The Imperial Master smiled wickedly, and Gu Yunni glared at him.
"I did get something, I guess. I ran into an ignorant little ghost, but he slipped away so quickly I couldn't find him. It's not a big deal though. Kyoto can't be completely ghost-free. Even if Your Majesty were to risk his life, I wouldn't be able to completely eliminate ghosts."
She honestly told the Imperial Master what had just happened.
The Imperial Master waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about this little thing. It would be strange if there weren't even a ghost in such a big city like Kyoto. As long as it doesn't endanger the safety of the people and doesn't disturb the envoys, it's not a big deal."
Gu Yunni nodded in agreement and looked at the Imperial Master seriously, "Next we should go to the south and north of the city. Have you decided where to go first?"
The Imperial Master pondered for a moment before making a decision. "How about we go to the north of the city? There are quite a few adults living there, so we can investigate from their residences first. Every time something goes wrong in the capital, it's always these people behind the scenes. I wonder if we can uncover something extraordinary this time. I'll just treat it as some gossip for His Majesty."
