Just now, after Gu Yunni removed the black fog for her guards, she asked him to come back. This must be because the black fog caused a backlash.
But no matter what, this mother and daughter deserved it.
Sheng Mingyu nodded slightly, becoming even more curious about Gu Yunni.
That night, several black figures flashed by and disappeared outside the gate of Changping Marquis Mansion.
There was chaos in the Changping Marquis's mansion.
At this moment, Du Changming was pacing in the Prince's Palace.
The young eunuch accompanied him silently, not daring to make any noise from beginning to end.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a bad temper. In the eyes of outsiders, he seems to be a good prince, but in the eyes of the little eunuch, Du Changming is a complete tyrant!
But he was just a little eunuch, and the other party was the Crown Prince. Just a few words from him could implicate his entire clan.
Du Changming turned around abruptly, looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "There's been no news from the emperor yet. If we really let Gu Yunni marry Sheng Mingyu, the daughter of the Phoenix Fate will be stranded elsewhere. We can't let this go!"
The young eunuch was extremely panicked, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is absolutely right."
"How should this matter be resolved?"
The young eunuch didn't expect that the fire would burn himself, and he took a breath of cold air at that moment.
His eyes darted around, and after much thought, he whispered, "Your Highness, instead of just sitting here and waiting for death, why not attack directly? Your Highness, although you are favored by His Majesty, you are His Majesty's biological son. If you ask your father for help, His Majesty will be powerless to refute you. Besides, you are just a woman. How can His Majesty still bother with you because of this woman? It would be better to directly ask His Majesty for a marriage, perhaps there is a better chance of success."
Du Changming nodded when he heard this.
Sheng Mingyu went to propose marriage, but His Majesty did not directly agree.
If I try to interfere, even if I fail, I can at least muddy the waters.
The most taboo thing in the royal family is open and secret fighting, but this kind of open and secret fighting has never stopped.
The palm and the back of the hand are both flesh and blood. If the emperor is angry for a while, he may not marry Gu Yunni to anyone else.
This way, I can buy myself some time and find a way to control Gu Yunni.
With this thought in mind, Du Chengming went straight into the palace.
In the imperial study.
"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."
Seeing this, the emperor nodded.
"It's late, Prince. Why is he here instead of resting in the East Palace?" The emperor, looking a little tired, sat on the dragon throne, stroking his forehead and asking in a cold voice.
As a prince, I never come to the temple without a reason. If I come in the middle of the night, there must be something going on.
As expected, Du Changming knelt on the ground and said, "This son has never asked your Majesty for anything before, but today I will not hide it from you. I have set my sights on Gu Yunni. People say that she is a beautiful woman, so I have come here to ask your Majesty for your hand in marriage."
A phoenix that reigns supreme? This is a sign of a future queen.
When the emperor heard this, his brows furrowed slightly and his expression became a little ugly.
Is Gu Yunni really so charming?
The two men who liked her were both the sons of the main officials in the court.
One is the beloved prince, and the other is the future crown prince who will rule the world.
Each of them is a very important person, but they both have their eyes on the same woman.
"It's this Gu Yunni again." The emperor narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.
"Changming, I've told you before that the Crown Prince has fought far and wide, and is a rare talent in the court. Why do you insist on making things difficult for him? If you want to marry a Crown Princess, wouldn't it be better for me to hold a beauty pageant for you next spring? The position of Crown Princess should not be decided lightly, especially since she is just a commoner now!"
After all, the prince is the future successor, so the emperor's persuasion is considered to be giving him enough face.
"Father, I will definitely marry Gu Yunni in this life! She is virtuous and talented, so she will naturally be able to hold this position securely. I beg your approval."
The emperor naturally finds it difficult to make a decision because both the palms and the backs of his hands are made of flesh.
And to some extent, he was on Sheng Mingyu's side in this matter.
"In all matters, first come first served. The prince asked for marriage first, so I cannot be biased."
Unexpectedly, Du Changming knelt in the hall and refused to leave.
The emperor looked at him and got angry. "You bastard, since you like kneeling so much, then kneel outside the door! I want to see how long you can hold on."
Although Du Changming had his share of right and wrong in the past, he had never been as tough as he was today.
The emperor originally wanted to give him some hardship so that he would give up.
But unexpectedly, he actually disregarded his dignity and knelt in front of the temple.
Even though it was storming outside, he still had no intention of getting up.
The emperor was shocked and began to observe secretly.
"Go check out Gu Yunni and find out why they are so obsessed with her." He rubbed his sore eyes and couldn't help shaking his head.
Hearing this, the eunuch in charge just smiled and left in a hurry.
This investigation is not only about Gu Yunni's background, but more about Gu Yunni's intentions.
Having followed the emperor for many years, he was naturally able to guess his intentions.
The chief eunuch left in a hurry, and the secret guards who had returned from the palace had already informed him of what had happened in the palace.
Sheng Mingyu couldn't sit still any longer. "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still kneeling in front of the palace?"
"Your Highness, he is still kneeling, but His Majesty has already sent people to investigate the matter of the Crown Prince's Consort. I believe he has made some choices."
Sheng Mingyu raised the corners of his mouth. Gu Yunni and he were of the same mind, and he was the one who proposed marriage first, so the emperor was powerless to stop her.
But since someone dared to snatch my Crown Prince’s Consort, I can’t just let it go.
"Then let's go to the palace." Sheng Mingyu did not hesitate and entered the palace immediately.
As soon as I entered the palace, I saw Du Changming kneeling on the ground.
Du Changming didn't expect Sheng Mingyu to enter the palace in the middle of the night. His heart tightened. He thought about it and it was not right. Kneeling on the ground was not right either.
"Your Highness, have you angered His Majesty? Why are you kneeling here? It's freezing cold, please take care of yourself."
Du Changming smiled slightly and responded, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. For the sake of love, even if I kneel here, I have no regrets."
…
Having nothing to do that night, Gu Yunni decided to go to her shop to organize the shelves first.
The shelves are filled with red ribbons for praying for peace, brocade bags, sachets, and talismans for daily use. The items are exactly the same as those sold in busy streets.
But unlike them, these things are really effective.
Gu Yunni was tidying up while looking out the window.
The night was as quiet as water, with only this kerosene lamp still lit.
This feeling of silence makes people feel at ease, but at this moment, a figure in green appears in the distance.
Gu Yunni always felt that this figure looked somewhat familiar, and her heart moved at that moment.
With quick hands and eyes, he blew out the oil lamp.
She stood by the door and window, carefully watching the situation outside.
In the darkness of the night, Qing'er walked slowly and looked around, as if she was worried that someone she knew would see her.
