Without saying a word, Gu Yunni turned around and walked out with the Imperial Master.
Sheng Mingyu shook his head helplessly and followed closely behind. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, the carriage stopped outside.
Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master rushed to the residence of the Minister of Revenue as quickly as possible, only to see the Minister pacing anxiously at the door.
"Master Imperial Master, you are finally here. Can you please invite the Crown Prince's Consort? Or should I go and invite her myself? After all, this is my family affair, and I can't let you handle everything."
As soon as the Minister of Revenue saw the Imperial Master, he rushed over and ignored everyone around him.
The Imperial Master quickly pushed the man aside and said, "Please move aside first. Let's go in and see what's going on with your daughter. The sooner we understand, the sooner we can resolve the issue."
The Minister of Revenue was startled and stood aside timidly, not daring to say much.
The three of them walked for a while before arriving at Miss Liu's yard.
All I heard was a scream and many ghost howls coming from inside. If I listened carefully, I could also hear a woman crying.
Gu Yunni frowned and turned to look at the Minister of Revenue. "Why do I hear someone else's voice inside? Your daughter is in such a state that it's not suitable for her to be around others. She can't control herself. What if she hurts someone? Didn't the Imperial Master tell you?"
"Please calm down, Princess. The Imperial Master did tell me not to let anyone in easily, but my daughter has been living a life of luxury since she was a child and doesn't know how to take care of herself. I was worried, so I let the maid in."
He looked guilty, which made Gu Yunni furious.
Even the Imperial Master opened his mouth to curse, wanting him to save people, but he refused to listen to his advice and was stubborn!
"Do you know that what you're doing is equivalent to killing someone? Your daughter is crazy now. If she hurts someone, she will only blame you when she wakes up, and will not be grateful to you!"
Gu Yunni left a word and kicked the door open without waiting for the Minister of Revenue to react.
The maids inside were already crying and shouting. The situation was probably not good and we couldn't delay any longer.
The Imperial Master ran in with him. The Minister of Revenue was still hesitating and was directly dragged in by Sheng Mingyu.
"Your Excellency the Minister is indeed capable. Although the maid's life is worthless, you can't push her forward knowing that it is a dead end. Since you are so indifferent, you might as well see the maid's end with your own eyes. It can also be regarded as a warning to you." Sheng Mingyu curled his lips into a sneer.
Gu Yunni didn't give them time to react. She pushed the door open and saw the maid lying on the ground, covered in bruises.
There were countless scratches from nails on his body, and he was covered in blood. He had already died.
"Ah!" The Minister of Revenue screamed and ran to the side to retch.
"this……"
Even Sheng Mingyu, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help but frown and look at Gu Yunni in confusion.
"Let's stop the man first." Gu Yunni sighed, and went forward with the National Master to control the man, and then turned back to solve Sheng Mingyu's confusion.
"A fierce ghost needs to absorb human essence to survive, not to mention being locked up in a house. It would be strange if she didn't go crazy. This maid was killed by the Minister of Revenue."
"Don't worry, I will tell His Majesty the truth about what happened today. He is very capable, but if he doesn't value human life, he should not hold this position!"
Sheng Mingyu nodded, wrote down the whole story, and walked out together.
Gu Yunni casually put a talisman on Miss Shangshu Wang Ruoqing, and she calmed down.
"Princess, how is my daughter? Is your spell harmless? Will she still feel uncomfortable later?"
The Minister of Revenue took a long time to walk up to Gu Yunni, his eyes full of worry.
He had no son and only one daughter in his life. He was afraid that the daughter would melt if he held her in his mouth, and would break if he held her in his hands.
"Your daughter is fine. My spell can temporarily suppress the evil spirit in her body, but if you want to completely eliminate it, you still need to know the cause and effect. I won't let her cause any harm to her body in the short term."
Gu Yunni spoke in a cold tone and looked disdainful. She couldn't like such a person and couldn't be nice to him.
"Tell me what happened before your daughter went up the mountain? Or what happened to her there? Since she's back, she should have had a maid or servant with her. Bring them all here so I can question them thoroughly."
Gu Yunni didn't want to waste time talking and got straight to the point.
The Minister of Revenue looked embarrassed and annoyed, and didn't say a word.
"If you find it inconvenient, we can think of other ways. There's no need to hesitate in front of me."
"The Crown Princess has misunderstood. I don't feel inconvenient, but I'm a little embarrassed." The Minister of Revenue smiled apologetically and lowered his attitude. He didn't dare to hesitate anymore and answered quickly.
"My daughter did bring back a few maids and servants, but they were all injured on the way. Some ran away, some died, and only one survived. She had a high fever last night and is still unconscious."
The Imperial Master listened nearby and nodded gently, "Yes, I just came to the Minister of Revenue's residence to ask about this, and I saw the same situation. I saw that maid, and she was indeed frightened."
"This..." Gu Yunni frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Did the doctor tell me when the maid will wake up? Your daughter's condition is closely related to what she said. If I don't hear what happened, I can't save your daughter."
"I really don't know. The doctor said he was so frightened that no medicine would help. He suggested I invite a Taoist priest."
As he said this, he glanced at Gu Yunni secretly, hinting at something.
If we were to ask who is the best in this area, it would be Gu Yunni or the National Master.
These two people are already at home, why is he still looking for a Taoist priest?
Gu Yunni held her forehead helplessly and said, "Since that's the case, let's go over and see what's going on. Lead the way."
"Yes." The Minister of Revenue did not dare to delay and walked forward with Gu Yunni.
The group continued walking for a long time. On the way, Gu Yunni grabbed the Imperial Master and said, "Didn't you also go to see that little maid just now? Why didn't you solve the problem? It saves me from having to go through the trouble again."
She spoke with disdain, her eyes changing as she looked at the Imperial Preceptor. "Although this Shangshu-sama is not a good person, he must be quite good since he has won the favor of His Majesty. Why do I feel that you dislike him? But what was your past feud?"
"No." The Imperial Master shook his head honestly, which made Gu Yunni more confused.
What he said next almost broke her defense.
"He didn't give me that share of money, and His Majesty didn't give any orders, so why should I meddle in other people's business? I always do things for money, unless he gives me the money for treating the maid."
This time it was the Imperial Master who was confused, not understanding why he should be involved in this matter.
Gu Yunni was stunned and turned her head away, unwilling to say more to him.
Okay, this is a real stubborn one.
