"Thank you so much for what you did just now." The eldest princess bowed slightly to the second prince of the neighboring country to the west.
The Second Prince immediately stopped her from thanking him, "It's just a small favor, Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite."
As soon as he finished speaking, the prince of Han Kingdom came forward eagerly and asked with concern, "Princess, are you okay?"
"Nothing." At such a dangerous moment just now, the prince of Han Kingdom hid far away.
"Are you going up to me to show your courtesy now? Didn't you hide away quickly just now?" An envoy sitting in the back saw everything clearly and immediately made a sarcastic remark.
"Who says it's not true? The Prince of Han is closest to Her Royal Highness the Princess, why doesn't he lend a hand?"
Princess Miaojiang also echoed the sentiment. She couldn't stand such mean behavior.
"This tiny country has really never seen the world and is so petty. The second prince of our western neighboring country is the one who truly has the responsibility."
"That's right. The prince of Han State just dared to ask for the eldest princess' hand in marriage. I wonder who gave him the face? Who would dare to marry a man who only cares about his own safety?"
These envoys spoke one after another, leaving the prince of Han unable to refute a single word.
He didn't expect that his action just now would attract so much ridicule from the envoys.
"Your Majesty, I am feeling unwell and will take my leave first." The prince of Han Kingdom immediately bowed and said goodbye.
Since he was not one of his own ministers, the emperor had no need to stop him. "Then the prince of Han Kingdom, go back and have a good rest. If you need anything, just send someone to tell him."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
After the prince of Han Kingdom left, the voices of discussion gradually stopped.
"Princess, are you okay?" Gu Yunni was also surprised. She didn't expect Shangguan An to be so brave.
If the second prince of the neighboring country to the west had acted a few seconds later, the eldest princess would have been cursed.
The eldest princess shook her head at Gu Yunni, "He didn't hurt me, I'm just a little scared."
Gu Yunni took the eldest princess's arm and patted her gently, "This man is really hateful. Fortunately, you are fine, thanks to the second prince of the western neighboring country."
The eldest princess nodded. Compared to her previous attitude towards the second prince of the neighboring country to the west, her behavior actually aroused Gu Yunni's curiosity.
She followed the eldest princess's gaze and found that she was actually looking at the minister, and more than once.
The second prince of the neighboring country to the west came over soon after. "Your Highness, you've been frightened today. Why don't you go back and rest early?"
The eldest princess shook her head and said politely, "I'm fine. Today, thanks to you. If you need anything later, you can find someone in this princess's mansion."
This indifferent attitude made the second prince of the neighboring country to the west feel frustrated.
Gu Yunni noticed something was going on. Could it be that the princess already had a lover? And that lover was with the minister?
Gu Yunni didn't dare to speculate on things without any evidence.
Apart from the little incident just now, the banquet went smoothly until the end.
The next day, just after the two had breakfast, they received the news found out by the secret guards.
"Master, there is some progress on the Soul-Guiding Grass."
I didn’t expect the secret guard to be so fast. Gu Yunni was a little excited. It would be better to solve the problem of luck as soon as possible.
"Where?"
"In the palace of the neighboring country to the west."
It seemed that she had not expected that there was such a thing in the palace of the neighboring country to the west. Gu Yunni asked in return, "Is the news true?"
The secret guard nodded and then left through the window.
"It's actually in the palace of our western neighboring country. This is going to be difficult to deal with." Gu Yunni was a little anxious.
It would be fine in other places, but it has to be in someone else's palace. What reason can I find to go in and look for medicine?
Sheng Mingyu didn't want Gu Yunni to worry about this matter all the time, so he immediately comforted her, "We've found the proof and there's a way to get it, don't worry."
Gu Yunni knew what Sheng Mingyu was thinking and could only nod.
"Prince, Princess, the eldest princess has arrived and is already in the main hall." Suddenly a servant came to report.
Why is the eldest princess here at this time?
Suppressing the doubts in their hearts, Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni hurried to the main hall.
Just as the two were about to salute, they were helped up by the eldest princess. "Yun Ni, I treat you as a friend. From now on, we can skip these formalities in private."
Gu Yunni smiled and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command."
After the three of them sat down, Gu Yunni finally asked, "What does the Princess want to talk to me about?"
"Today I would like to invite you to go with me to the temple outside the city to worship Buddha."
Gu Yunni had nothing to do today, so naturally she had no objection.
The two of them rode in the eldest princess' carriage and soon arrived at the temple.
Just as I was about to get off the car, I heard a man's voice coming from outside, "I pay my respects to the Princess."
When the eldest princess heard the voice, she held Gu Yunni's hand a little tighter.
Gu Yunni looked at the eldest princess thoughtfully. These two people seemed to be more than just ordinary people.
"The Crown Prince's Consort is here too?"
As soon as the two got off the carriage, Gu Yunni saw a handsome young man standing in front of the carriage. If she remembered correctly, this man should be the son of the Minister of Justice.
"Young Master." Gu Yunni nodded as a greeting.
"The eldest princess is here to worship Buddha today?" The minister's attention was all on the eldest princess.
The eldest princess nodded and said, "This is my first time here as well, and I'm not familiar with many places in the temple."
The Minister of the Court immediately took over the conversation, and said with a bit of joy, "Don't worry, Princess. I come to this temple often. I will take you to visit it."
The two of them were chatting as if no one was around, and Gu Yunni saw it very clearly.
It seems that they are interested in each other, so it might not be convenient for me to stay here.
"Sir, please take the princess with you. I've been here before and just walked around the backyard."
In order to create opportunities for these two, Gu Yunni tried every possible way.
"Then you have to be careful and take the servants with you." The eldest princess was still a little worried and gave instructions.
Gu Yunni smiled and replied, "Okay, I will definitely bring enough servants with me, you can go without worry."
After saying this, she winked at the eldest princess, who blushed immediately.
After seeing the two off, Gu Yunni told the servants to wait in the carriage while she went for a walk in the backyard alone.
She wasn't lying just now. She had really been to this temple before.
After walking around for a while, I felt it was about time and was about to go back when I suddenly smelled a strange fragrance.
Gu Yunni didn't think much about it and walked towards the carriage.
But she walked for a long time and not only did she not reach the carriage, she didn't even see a single person.
This made her feel something was wrong. Although this was the backyard, it was not so quiet.
That strange fragrance...
When she thought of this, Gu Yunni immediately made a judgment.
When I smelled that strange fragrance just now, I probably entered the formation.
Gu Yunni sneered. He dared to show off his skills in front of her. He was really overestimating his own abilities!
