"Sister Beauty, I will be reduced to ashes under that lightning."
Gu Yunni didn't say anything. She closed her eyes and counted with her fingers, but she couldn't figure it out.
Kou Mingxue was in the Marquis of Changping's mansion, thinking about how the lotus banquet should be held.
Mrs. Kou saw Kou Mingxue looking sad in the yard, and immediately walked up to her in confusion and asked in a soft voice.
"Mingxue, why do you look so worried? What happened?"
Suddenly hearing Mrs. Kou's voice, she was startled and almost fell to the ground. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she subconsciously wiped them away with her hand.
Then, Kou Mingxue said respectfully, "Greetings, mother. I was just wondering who should be invited to the Lotus Banquet."
"The drunkard's intention is not to drink, Mingxue, tell mother, do you have any feelings for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
I always feel that my daughter likes Du Changming. Even if she doesn't like him, she still has a good impression of him.
"Mother, I can't hide anything from you. It's all because of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness is so heroic and extraordinary, he's naturally the dream lover of every woman."
Mrs. Kou didn't speak for a long time, frowning.
Judging from his expression, it seems that he doesn't want her to have too much communication with the prince. Why is that?
"Mother, how does my daughter feel? You don't want her to get too close to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is not as gentle as he appears. Although you are the daughter of the Marquis of Changping, you do not understand the treacherous ways of the royal family."
"Mother, I have become the Crown Princess. Who dares to disrespect me?"
The Crown Princess will be the future Queen.
When Mrs. Kou heard the word "Crown Princess", she stared at Kou Mingxue in amazement, "Daughter, do you want to become the Queen?"
Kou Mingxue lowered her head and nodded.
A rumbling sound sounded above their heads.
When I looked up, I saw dark clouds and it looked like it was going to rain.
Marquis Changping and Kou Mingxue were startled and hurried into the house.
"Mom, what's going on? Why did it suddenly become so dark and thundering?"
The sky on their side was still extremely blue, but the sky on their side was dark, forming a sharp contrast.
Didn’t you say that the master observed the celestial phenomena last night? Today is a good day, so we can enjoy the beautiful scenery here, right?
The other side.
Sheng Mingyu was also wondering when he could tell the emperor about what happened between him and Gu Yunni.
"Your Highness, what are you worried about? Would you be willing to tell me? At least if you can tell me, I will share the burden with you."
"It's nothing more than thinking about how to marry Gu Yunni?"
Gu Yunni has lost her status, and if she goes to see the emperor now, he will most likely not agree.
No matter what, Sheng Mingyu is the eldest son of Duke Anguo after all. If he goes there rashly, the emperor might punish Gu Yunni.
What's more, Sheng Mingyu heard these days that the emperor established a national teacher.
"Come out." Sheng Mingyu said expressionlessly, then picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.
After a while, three men in brown robes appeared in front of him, kneeling on one knee on the ground.
"Your Highness, what's the important matter?"
"I heard that a national teacher appeared in the palace. Pay attention to the movements over there."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three nodded and disappeared again in the blink of an eye.
The eunuchs next to them had beads of sweat on their foreheads. These three people were really elusive.
"Your Highness, who is the Imperial Master?"
"Little Leo, you are just a servant. Just do what a servant should do. These things are not within your reach. If you dare to say anything more..."
Before Sheng Mingyu could finish his words, the eunuch fell to his knees on the ground with a thud and kowtowed heavily.
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. It's my fault! I overstepped the line!" The eunuch knelt on the ground trembling.
When Sheng Mingyu saw this scene, he turned around and left without saying anything, unwilling to stay here.
The eunuch stood up from the ground and followed closely behind him.
The housekeeper next to him saw it and immediately pulled the eunuch back.
"Your Highness is going to look for Miss Gu, you will disturb them." The butler looked at the eunuch in front of him with a serious expression.
The eunuch was not a stupid person. He certainly understood the implicit meaning of his words. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and retreat.
Du Changming was sitting leisurely in the East Palace when he suddenly heard a noise and someone walked in.
He looked over and happened to see the eunuch.
This eunuch was the one he arranged to be by Sheng Mingyu's side. Why did he suddenly come here?
"Why did you come back so suddenly? Could it be that Sheng Mingyu has discovered your identity?"
"I don't know, but the Crown Prince's expression today seemed to tell me that if I don't leave his territory, I will be chopped into meat sauce and fed to wild dogs."
As he said the last few words, the person in front of him couldn't help but stagger and fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing this eunuch in such a miserable state, he probably wouldn't dare to contact Sheng Mingyu again in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Du Changming asked someone to take out some silver and handed it to the man in front of him. "After you return to the Anguo Mansion, you can retire and return home."
Hearing this, the eunuch nodded.
Looking at the silver in his hand, the eunuch was overjoyed. He didn't expect Du Changming to be so generous. This was enough for him to squander the rest of his life.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After the eunuch left, the butler frowned and asked, "Your Highness, aren't you afraid that this man will reveal everything about you?"
"Have I done anything to offend Sheng Mingyu? It seems not."
Then, she set her sights on the housekeeper, her face frighteningly cold and her eyes sharp, "I only need obedient people around me from beginning to end. If you don't listen, I can replace you at any time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the butler quickly confessed his guilt, "I know I am wrong."
The eunuch returned to the Duke of Anguo's Mansion cautiously.
Naturally, his every move was seen clearly by the spies in the dark.
"Brother, why not kill him?"
"I didn't expect this eunuch to be someone close to the Crown Prince. I'll make a decision after His Highness returns."
This eunuch was given to Sheng Mingyu by the emperor. Unexpectedly, he was someone close to the prince. His spies were truly spread throughout the capital.
At this moment, Sheng Mingyu had an urgent matter and wanted Gu Yunni's help.
When I arrived at Gu Yunni's courtyard, I didn't see anyone.
Seeing Sheng Mingyu coming, Mother Gu walked over and said, "Your Highness, why don't you come in and sit for a while? Yun Ni should be back soon."
