Yu Fu Learned Something Bad (Part Five)
“What are you all looking at me for?”

Gu ShuBai looking calm, “I’m also very shocked. How could it be Prime Minister Yin who would want to kill me?”

His tone did not at all sound shocked. It was extremely calm.

It was clear that he had known about this for quite some time. At the very least, he had his suspicions.

The eldest prince and the second prince exchanged a glance, but neither could find any clues in the other’s eyes.

Could it be that Yin Yan had been suppressed by Gu HuaiJiang for so many years that he chose to make use of an unconventional method and assassinate Gu ShuBai?

Such a possibility existed, but it still sounded a little far-fetched.

“Father Emperor has always had faith in Prime Minister Yin, leaving all of the court’s important matters to him. Who knew that he would betray the hopes of imperial favor. A prime minister suddenly retiring is not a small matter. It will definitely have an effect on the court’s situation.”

The two princes were both a little nervous.

Any slight change in the court’s situation could result in a change in the princes’ situations.

Yu Fu slowly said: “That’s right. Now that Prime Minister Yin has retired, do we know who will become the next prime minister?”

The two princes seemed to come to a divine revelation, as the two happened to stand up at the same time.

The second prince was the first to say: “Everyone, please take your time in enjoying the lanterns. Father Emperor must be feeling uneasy right now. I will be going into the palace to console father Emperor and will be leaving first.”

After saying this, he gave Princess DanYang a look, and the two quickly left the building.

The eldest prince also said: “I will also be going into the palace to see father Emperor. ShuBai, don’t worry. I will do my best to get justice for you.”

He too quickly left.

After they all left, Gu ShuBai smiled and looked at Yu Fu.

“Yu Fu, I noticed that you’ve learned something bad. Who did you learn it from?”

If not for her asking “who will become the next prime minister,” how could the two dignified princes of Eastern Ling have acted in such haste?

Yu Fu pouted, “Even if I didn’t remind them, they would have realized it sooner or later. Rather than watch the two of them sit here while worrying about losses and gains, it would be better to just send them away sooner, so we can sit here and freely enjoy the lanterns.”

Hearing her say this, Gu Xiang found it very entertaining, “Little Yu Fu, I always that you treated the eldest prince and the second prince differently, but hearing you say this, it seems that you don’t really like the two of them?”

The reason that the eldest prince and the second prince got close with Marquis Gu’s Manor was something that even an idiot could figure out.

But on a more personal level, the eldest prince was a bit closer than the second prince. He was also a bit more fun to talk to.

Yu Fu also called the eldest prince brother YiZhao with a very intimate tone.

Yu Fu thought for a moment then said: “There’s not really any like or dislike. In truth, it’s all the same. I just feel that the eldest prince has good awareness of the situation. Compared to the prideful second prince, I would rather get closer to him.”

Gu ShuBai crooked the corners of his lips into a smirk, seemingly very satisfied with what she had just said.

Who knew if he was satisfied with her appraisal of the two princes, or if it was because she did not have any special feelings for the eldest prince…

“Since they’ve already left, let’s also return to the manor. Father was summoned to the palace today, and it must have been related to that matter. I want to hear the details from father.”

“Then let’s move quickly. I also want to hear father tell us why exactly Prime Minister Yin wanted to kill us!”

Although Gu Yi had not been harmed in the slightest, he had been holed up inside the cave in fear for two days, thus he felt that he had the most right to be indignant.

Everyone descended the stairs to return to the manor. The night was dark, and there were now much fewer people on the street.

“Eldest brother!”

Gu JiuGe’s voice came from behind them, and everyone turned back to look. Sure enough, they saw him.

“Where did you guys go to look at the lanterns? I’ve been looking for you guys all night and still could not find you. Gu Xiang, Gu Yi, if you guys were going to take Yu Fu out to see the lanterns, why didn’t you call me?”

Gu Xiang pointed at the tall building beside them, “We’re being accused wrongly. When we left the manor, second brother wasn’t home. How could we call you?”

Gu JiuGe looked at where he pointed. He felt bitter but could not say it.

He had passed by this building five or six times tonight, yet he never thought of going up to look for them.

It turned out that they were so close, yet he had completely missed them.

Gu ShuBai said: “We were originally looking at the lanterns from the street, but we were invited up by the second prince. Let’s not talk about this for now and return to the manor.”

Gu JiuGe was almost unable to stop himself from rolling his eyes.

“You’re returning the manor already? I only just found you guys and have not had a chance to look at the lanterns!”

After all, he had not come out tonight to look at the lanterns. He had come out to look for them, but as soon as he found them, they would be returning to the manor.

Yu Fu stuffed the lantern with the white puppy on it into his hands, “Second brother, just look at this one. Look, doesn’t it look a lot like Pang Jiu?”

Gu JiuGe received just a bit of comfort. Looking carefully, it really did look like Pang Jiu.

He laughed at said: “This lantern really is beautiful. It’s very different from the ones in the manor.”

Yu Fu thought to herself that it was natural that it looked good. This was one that Gu ShuBai had paid a gold ingot for. Could it not look good?

Gu ShuBai smiled and gave him a tug, “Let’s go. Did you know that His Majesty has already uncovered that the one behind the plot to assassinate Gu Yi and me was Prime Minister Yin. At this moment, father must have already returned to the manor. Do you not want to hear more about it?”

Gu JiuGe was surprised, “What? It was Prime Minister Yin?”

He suddenly remembered Yin JiYao, who had just been taken back to the prime minister’s manor. With such a great misfortune befalling the prime minister’s manor, it was no wonder that they were in such a rush to get her back.

She had been crying so miserably and would probably feel even worse after hearing this news.

Gu Yi gave him a push, “Second brother, what are you blanking out for? Let’s go!”
