Everyone felt bored and turned around to leave Liu's house.
Shangguan An stood quietly by the side until they got into the carriage, and then Gu Yunni turned her eyes to him.
"I see you've had a lot of tricks up your sleeve in the past. Do you have any insights into what happened today?"
Shangguan An looked at Gu Yunni and smiled elegantly, "Princess, please don't joke with me. If I were more capable than you and His Royal Highness, how could I have ended up like this? How can I possibly understand something that none of you can? It's better for me not to get involved."
"Since you're here and have watched such a great show, you should at least tell me what you think. What if your ideas are useful to me? It will save me a headache."
Gu Yunni smiled evilly and refused to let go.
Sheng Mingyu also looked at him steadily, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Then I won't be polite. I'll tell you the truth."
He looked at the two of them, thought for a moment, and then said, "I know what happened in Kyoto these past few days, and I know the difficulties you've encountered. But most of the clues have been cut off, which means the person behind this is very powerful, and your every move is under their nose. In this case, what do you think we should do?"
The smile on his face made Gu Yunni's heart tremble.
Few people knew about what happened today, but he understood it so clearly. It would be strange if there was no one in Kyoto to help him.
The two looked at each other, their suspicions growing stronger.
"How should I know what to do? This is my question to you. Why don't you help me think of a solution? If your method works, I will reward you handsomely. But if it doesn't work, don't leave the house casually in the future."
Gu Yunni continued to ask with a smile.
"Of course we have to make a decisive move. Since we can't get to the root of the problem, why not just cut it off in the middle? At least let the people live a stable life first. We can deal with the future later. You've been in Kyoto all year round, so you can catch anyone by surprise."
After Shangguan An finished speaking, he stopped looking at the two of them.
Gu Yunni was very impressed and couldn't help but applaud. "I think you agree with me. I also think that we should let the people live a stable life first. But this is not something that can be accomplished by just saying it. There are many difficult things to do in the middle. At least I have to catch the evil spirit first. Do you know where the evil spirit is?"
"I don't know! I just heard about these things. How can I know where the evil spirit is? If you want to find it, go find it yourself, don't ask me."
Shangguan An shook his head, looking indifferent.
No matter what Gu Yunni asked afterwards, he didn't open his mouth again. Gu Yunni sighed.
"Don't you want a place in Kyoto? Don't you want to show your face in front of His Majesty? This is a great opportunity. If you can help me to eliminate the evil spirit, I will introduce you to His Majesty. His Majesty likes magicians and will treat you well."
"Really?" Gu Yunni's words hit the point. Shangguan An was shocked. He turned around and looked at her with surprise in his eyes.
"Of course!" Gu Yunni nodded with a smile on her face.
"I always keep my word. As long as you help me solve the problem, I can give you whatever you want, but the prerequisite is that it must be solved. If something unexpected happens, don't blame me for not fulfilling my promise. I'm not a sucker, and I won't give you benefits for nothing."
He didn't dare to believe Gu Yunni's words and turned to look at Sheng Mingyu.
He came to Kyoto because of Sheng Mingyu. If there was anyone who could make a decision about his future, it was only him.
"Yun Ni has the final say in this prince's affairs. What she says is what I say. If you are really interested, why not solve the problem together? This prince can choose a time to introduce you to His Majesty. His Majesty will definitely use you."
Sheng Mingyu nodded and spoke in coordination with Gu Yunni.
Shangguan An excitedly agreed, "Alright! Don't worry, leave it to me, I will definitely complete it. If you need any help, please let me know. I have no other requests, I just hope to show my face to His Majesty and recognize him as soon as possible."
They talked for a few more words and soon arrived at the mansion.
Shangguan An was extremely attentive to Gu Yunni and asked her countless questions along the way, which made her feel annoyed.
"Don't worry about the other things. Mingyu will take care of them. The most important thing is tomorrow's matter. You should think of a way to find the evil spirit. If you can't do it well, don't blame me for kicking you out."
"Okay, okay." No matter how unpleasant Gu Yunni's words were, Shangguan An nodded excitedly in agreement.
Not to mention just scolding him a few times, even beating him wouldn't matter at this moment. The thing I've been waiting for for so long has finally arrived.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered in the west of the city again.
The Minister of Revenue and the Prefect of Jingzhao looked at Shangguan An beside Sheng Mingyu with a little confusion.
"Your Highness, has the Crown Prince recruited another successful henchman? Is he serving you personally? I remember that the person serving you personally wasn't Mo Qing, but did Mo Qing make you angry?"
"Yes, this young man seems to be well-mannered and reasonable. I didn't expect him to be a guard. It's really strange."
The two of them flattered Sheng Mingyu.
His expression was extremely cold, and he glanced at the two of them, speechless.
"This is a friend that I brought from Jiangnan. He also knows the mystical arts and would like to lend a hand in this matter. I hope you two have no objection. He is quite capable."
"Really?" The two of them widened their eyes in shock, circling around Shangguan An, their tone full of disbelief.
"Isn't it said that there are very few people who can use the mystical arts? Especially those who are powerful. I have only seen the Imperial Master and the Crown Prince's Consort from beginning to end. How did another one appear out of nowhere? Your Highness, please don't be fooled by others."
"Yes! Your Majesty was deceived by many people in the past. Your Highness, please do not follow your Majesty's path. To gain wealth and glory, they dare to say anything, not fearing divine punishment."
The two men had contempt on their faces, and Shangguan An's face turned ashen. No wonder Sheng Mingyu didn't let him leave the house. The quality of these people outside was really too poor!
"Don't worry, my lords. This prince has already tested him and he is indeed quite capable. Otherwise, he would not have been brought before Your Majesty. And with Yun Ni by his side, any magician who tries to show off their skills in front of her will be defeated."
"That's right!" Sheng Mingyu's words made sense, and the two nodded frequently.
I heard that even the Imperial Master is not as capable as the Crown Prince's Consort. Since the Crown Prince's Consort recognizes her, this person must be quite capable.
The two of them immediately changed their attitudes, with flattering smiles on their faces.
"The current emperor advocates for the mystical arts. You will surely rise to prominence in the future. If you ever become favored, please do not forget me. We have worked together before."
"Yes! A magician can do a lot of things. If there is anything happening in my family in the future, I will have to ask you to come and take a look."
"You're welcome, both of you." The change in their expressions was so obvious that it startled Shangguan An.
He finally understood how useful Sheng Mingyu's words were. Just a simple introduction made the two of them take him seriously.
