When he said this, there was a gleam in his eyes, and Gu Yunni was helpless.
I wonder how the Imperial Master ended up in this position? He must have offended quite a few people.
"Alright! I'm free anyway, so investigating them will take up the most time and energy. It's still early today, so let's go there first."
Gu Yunni just complained in her heart but did not refuse. She would never admit it. She also wanted to see the gossip from various families.
The two first went to the Prime Minister's house, but they didn't gain anything special, just listened to a lot of sarcasm.
The Imperial Master smiled sarcastically, "I advise the Prime Minister to be more restrained. Do you really think His Majesty is willing to use you? If the punishment hadn't been handed down, you would have been removed from the position of Prime Minister long ago. Do you really think that the feelings of youth can be wasted until now?"
The prime minister was so angry that his face turned blue, but he quickly reacted and retorted without any hesitation.
"Even if this Prime Minister is deposed one day, you won't gain anything. You're just a dog being driven around by others. You really think you're a big shot."
He thought these words would break the national teacher's defense, but he only saw the national teacher sneer and did not take him seriously at all.
"Your Excellency, the Prime Minister is right. I am indeed just a dog at the mercy of others. But my master is Your Majesty, so no one can punish me. Even if you are the Prime Minister, I can still make things difficult for you if I am unhappy. Do you want to try?"
There was a threat in his tone.
"You..." The Prime Minister kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't come up with anything. Finally, he turned away and left, unwilling to look at the two of them.
"Check it quickly and leave my house after you're done."
Gu Yunni didn't say a word from beginning to end.
As soon as the two of them reached the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial Master turned around and spat fiercely.
The butler was about to curse, but immediately held it back. None of the people in front of him were people he could afford to offend.
"Tell your Prime Minister to persuade him to be a coward. His Majesty just can't remember him these days. If he does, it won't be worth killing him."
The butler smiled awkwardly and slammed the door in his face.
The two of them were disappointed, and Gu Yunni looked at them with a hint of disgust.
"I say, are you done yet? Even if you don't like him, you don't have to show it so obviously. You just came here to check on the little ghost, and you didn't like accusing him of something, but you still had to quarrel with him. Don't you think it's a loss of status?"
"I don't want to do anything behind the scenes. With someone like him, I have to argue face to face. What's the point of pretending to be scholarly all day long if he can't even argue? He only knows how to take the blame!" The Imperial Master spat again, and got on the carriage without saying anything more to Gu Yunni.
Gu Yunni shook her head helplessly, and the two went to the Minister of Revenue's house again.
This time, Wang Ruoqing came out to greet them personally. She first warmly grasped Gu Yunni's hand, her words full of gratitude.
Then he looked at her with pity, which made Gu Yunni curious.
"I don't know what I did to make Miss Wang unhappy? Why are you looking at me like that? Or are you feeling sorry for me? What have I done to deserve your pity?" Gu Yunni's tone was full of confusion.
Wang Ruoqing felt a little embarrassed and looked around before pulling her aside.
"I heard that you and His Royal Highness are getting married. I don't know if someone in the capital is deliberately hiding this from you. His Royal Highness is unlucky with wives. If you don't want to get married, tell me and I'll find a way to get you out."
Her voice was so low that Gu Yunni frowned and listened for a long time before she could hear it clearly. She was so shocked that her mouth could fit a goose egg.
"Who told you that I didn't want to get married? Was it the Minister?"
"No." Wang Ruoqing shook her head honestly.
"Who would want to marry someone who is unlucky in marriage? You still have the best years of your life. If you die right after you get married, that would be such a shame. Just tell me honestly whether you don't want to get married or not. I'll help you."
Her words were as if it were a matter of course. Gu Yunni was so angry that her face turned blue and she shook her hand away.
Wang Ruoqing was startled and looked at Gu Yunni with confusion.
"I will pretend that Miss Wang never said anything about today. You'd better not say anything careless, otherwise it will cause trouble for your father. I am willing to marry His Highness the Crown Prince, and we are in love with each other. Don't say such things around me again in the future."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
The Imperial Master was stretching his neck, looking over here with curiosity.
"What's wrong? What did that little girl say to you just now? I think she's quite polite, so why did she make you angry?"
Gu Yunni glared at him and said nothing more.
She knew that Wang Ruoqing meant well, but she didn't need such indiscriminate kindness.
"It's nothing serious. Check if there are any little ghosts in the Shangshu Mansion. If not, leave quickly. There are still many things that the adults haven't seen yet. You still have time to waste. You are really careless."
"Okay, okay! I'll do as you say. I don't know what's wrong with you today. You're being so serious."
Seeing that Gu Yunni was about to lose her temper, the Imperial Master didn't dare to say anything more and nodded hurriedly.
But he had more and more doubts in his heart, and looked at Gu Yunni and Wang Ruoqing frequently.
"Ms. Gu, I don't know what you are thinking. What's the point of living with a man who is unlucky in marriage? If you encounter difficulties, you can just tell me directly. Why are you being so shy? You saved my life, and I should repay you." Wang Ruoqing walked to Gu Yunni anxiously and continued to ask in a low voice.
She believed that Gu Yunni was being threatened.
Gu Yunni was very annoyed by what she said and kept walking out of the house because she didn't want to say a word to Wang Ruoqing.
"Miss Gu, I mean everything I said today. If you encounter any safety issues in the future, you can come to me. As long as I can help, I hope you won't regret it one day."
Wang Ruoqing sighed softly.
Gu Yunni looked at her with an annoyed look.
It happened that the Minister of Revenue came back at this time. He wanted to go to Gu Yunni to say hello, but he immediately sensed that the atmosphere between the two was not right.
"Princess, I wonder what my daughter said wrongly to upset you? Tell me straight away, and I'll teach her a lesson. My daughter is simply heartless and has been spoiled by her family since she was little. Please don't be angry."
The Minister smiled and looked at Gu Yunni flatteringly.
But Wang Ruoqing felt particularly guilty and kept winking at her.
"What are you talking about, Dad? When did your daughter become ignorant? Please don't embarrass her in front of outsiders. I really didn't say anything, right, Miss Gu?"
Wang Ruoqing looked at him for help.
Gu Yunni had a faint smile on her lips, and suddenly she had a bad idea. She told the Minister of Revenue exactly what Wang Ruoqing had just said.
"Sir Shangshu, you should take good care of your daughter. I don't know why your daughter feels that I am not happy in the Prince's Mansion. If today's events were to reach His Royal Highness, I don't know how great a disaster the Shangshu Mansion would encounter. But don't worry, I'm not a talkative person."
