"Get up, it's already noon, hurry up."
Mother Gu shouted and urged them to get up quickly.
"It's already noon, it's time to get up and have breakfast." Mother Gu called from outside the door.
"Mom, I got it. I'll be up right away."
"Hurry up, the food will get cold soon."
The two of them got up slowly. Gu Yunni was a little irritable. Sheng Mingyu knew that Gu Yunni was most afraid of being disturbed when she was sleeping, so she was a little grumpy when she got up.
"Get up quickly, mother-in-law will be here again soon."
"You must have come back very late yesterday, right? Aren't you sleepy?"
Sheng Mingyu shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy. Seeing you makes me feel very energetic."
Gu Yunni glanced at him. "Such sweet talk comes out of your mouth so easily, right? Where did you learn it from?"
"You can't trust a man's mouth. You're really good at talking."
"What I said is true. Every time I see you, I am always full of energy."
Gu Yunni shook her head, feeling helpless. "By the way, when I entered the palace yesterday, did His Majesty want to see you about anything?"
Speaking of this, Sheng Mingyu almost forgot that he still had an important thing to do.
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. The neighboring country to the west sent a letter yesterday, asking the eldest prince to go back and replace him with the second prince."
When Gu Yunni heard this, she felt something was wrong. "Something is not right."
If the eldest prince goes back now, it would be equivalent to handing the handle to the neighboring country to the west.
"So His Majesty summoned me to the palace yesterday to investigate this matter."
So that's how it is. Gu Yunni nodded, and she finally understood.
Gu Yunni had an appointment with the eldest prince to meet at the store today, so she had to hurry back now.
On the way to dinner, Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu were both wondering what the neighboring country to the west was trying to do.
"Logically speaking, the Second Prince is more capable than the First Prince. The First Prince was not favored at the time, so he was sent here."
Sheng Mingyu nodded. Generally, people who were sent to other countries were already in their own country and had no power.
However, the eldest prince is also quite pitiful. His mother has not been favored since childhood, and his status among the concubines is low. The monarch of the neighboring country to the west will not notice the eldest prince's talents.
"The eldest prince is very weak, and his mother's family background is not strong, so he was sent to our country."
Gu Yunni didn't understand much about these things, so she could only listen to Sheng Mingyu's explanation.
"What kind of person is the Second Prince?"
Sheng Mingyu was a little jealous. Gu Yunni was fine, so why was she asking about other men?
"I won't tell you."
Gu Yunni coquettishly pulled Sheng Mingyu's sleeve and said, "Tell me, we can analyze it together."
"The Second Prince has his own influence in the court. His mother's family background is powerful. She is a brave and skilled general who has loved wielding swords and spears since she was a child."
After hearing what Sheng Mingyu said, Gu Yunni had a general understanding of the second prince's temperament.
"I see."
When she learned that the eldest prince was about to be taken away, she always felt that this matter was planned.
Gu Yunni exclaimed that something was amiss. "The eldest prince is ill and has returned to the neighboring country to the west. Perhaps he has some ulterior motive. He also sent the second prince here to coordinate internal and external forces."
Sheng Mingyu didn't expect that what Gu Yunni said was the same as what he guessed. He touched her head with his hand and said, "What's going on in your head all day? You're so smart!"
Gu Yunni felt a little disappointed after learning about the methods used by the neighboring country to the west.
"There's no other way now. I can only see if he can come to me at noon and end this nightmare."
Seeing Gu Yunni's dejected look, Sheng Mingyu felt a little distressed.
"Okay, don't be discouraged. Don't worry about this matter. I'm here with you."
Sheng Mingyu knew that solving the nightmare would consume Gu Yunni's spiritual power. Last time, she was right next to him and was nourished by spiritual energy, but she almost fainted.
"Don't interfere in this matter. I will handle it."
"I just need to investigate the matter of the eldest prince being poisoned and find out who did it. That should be enough."
Sheng Mingyu wanted to persuade Gu Yunni not to take over, as the enemy was in the dark and there was danger at any time.
"This is a hot potato. No matter how you handle it, you will get burned. The best way is not to handle it."
The people in the dark certainly don't want the eldest prince to be cured, otherwise they will have no reason to attack.
"You don't need to persuade me. I saved him, so I have to take responsibility to the end. I won't give up."
Gu Yunni will never give up on the things she has taken over. Sheng Mingyu knows that Gu Yunni is very strong-willed, so she can only support her silently.
"Then remember, if there is any danger, retreat immediately."
"Don't worry, I won't let my life be in danger. By the way, you mentioned this matter to someone else."
Gu Yunni naturally knew the importance of this matter and would not talk about it outside.
"Don't worry, I know the priorities of things." Gu Yunni nodded solemnly to Sheng Mingyu.
"Let's go eat quickly, otherwise my mother will come over and urge us again."
Gu Yunni knew her mother very well. Her mother was a relatively stable person, but she valued her very much.
They had their meal and said goodbye to Gu's mother and Gu Chang'an in a hurry.
"Mother, the prince and I have something to do later, so we'll leave first."
Mother Gu felt comforted when she saw the two of them leave.
"I hope they can stay this good forever."
Mother Gu knew that once you entered the palace, it was like entering a deep sea, especially since marrying into an official's family seemed to be a glorious journey, but in reality, there were undercurrents.
He was a little worried about his daughter, but when he saw Sheng Mingyu's appearance, he felt relieved.
"Okay, mother, don't worry, let's go back. My younger sister will naturally have her own plans."
When Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni left, they agreed to act separately.
"You go investigate, I'll go rescue people. Be sure to pay attention to safety on the way."
Sheng Mingyu nodded and did not forget to remind Gu Yunni.
"Don't be as reckless as last time. Always act within your own safety range."
Gu Yunni nodded and they left.
Sheng Mingyu went to investigate the situation in the neighboring country to the west, wanting to know what preparations they were making.
Investigate thoroughly so that we can be prepared when we come back. We cannot let our country fall into trouble.
Gu Yunni took her maid to the shop and waited, hoping that the eldest prince would show up soon.
At noon, a mysterious man in black clothes and a hood came into the store. When he walked into the inner room, it was discovered that it was the haggard eldest prince.
"It's you."
Gu Yunni smiled indifferently. The neighboring country to the west was about to change people, and the eldest prince would definitely not sit idly by.
But this action was unexpected to Gu Yunni.
She thought that at least the eldest prince would come openly instead of sneaking around.
It seems that the western neighbor's sudden change of players has pushed him into a desperate situation.
The one who was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan was the eldest prince. Gu Yunni simply sat aside and sipped her tea.
Seeing Gu Yunni's leisurely demeanor, the eldest prince understood why and immediately took off his hood.
"There was a reason why I missed my appointment before."
Now that he was in this passive situation, there was nothing he couldn't say.
