Chapter 964: Being clever but being misled by cleverness
After waiting from morning till noon, Yan Yu was suddenly startled when he heard the servants report that the Sixth Princess had returned alone.
"what?"
Yun Boyu turned his head and talked to Shao Di.
"See, what did I just say?"
"The substance remains the same, she is trying to remove everyone from the Supervisory Office and assassinate the prince."
"You blindly believed her words and insisted on defending her, saying it was a plot to sow discord."
"What was the result?"
Zhuang Shao was impartial and always made correct judgments.
"But this does look like a plot to sow discord."
"As Her Highness the Sixth Princess said, no matter how stupid she is, she won't resort to the same old tricks again."
"With her intelligence and talent, she can definitely come up with a new plan to murder the prince."
"Such a plan makes us doubt her loyalty. How can she accomplish anything?"
Yun Baiyu remained unmoved and insisted on his own opinion.
"You are being too clever for your own good."
"She took advantage of your thoughts."
Zhuang Shao was a little hesitant.
"is it?"
Yun Boyu asked back.
"Isn't it?"
"Are you sure this is not her plan?"
Zhuang Shao told the truth.
"Can not be sure."
Yun Baiyu argued convincingly.
"That's it."
"Just because she won't do it again doesn't mean she can't do it again."
"Perhaps, she thinks that the same strategy is enough to deal with us, and there is no need to think of new strategies."
Yan Yu persuaded.
"My two beloved ministers, there is no need to argue."
"Your analysis all makes sense."
"We can't be sure of the truth."
"I thought that if she is loyal, she might find another way to rescue my little sister. Otherwise, if she just wants to transfer everyone in the Supervisory Office, she will definitely continue to ask me for it in the name of looking for someone."
"We'll know the result once we see it."
Yun Baiyu and Zhuang Shao sang in unison.
"Your Majesty is wise."
After a while, Gu Yihe walked into Mianmu House.
"I wish you the best of health, uncle."
Gao Jing waited at the gate of the palace, waiting for her to come back, and followed her footsteps into Mianmu Residence together.
"May Your Majesty be well and at peace."
Yan Yu gave a false support.
"Please stand up and sit down."
With a smile on his face, he asked the Sixth Princess.
"Why do I only see you? Where are the other beloved ones?"
Gu Yihe described in detail the people of Beizhao Taichung and the tactics they used to deal with her. She was sincere and did not hide anything.
"That's it. I was just a little bit away from defeating him."
"Alas, it's such a pity that I missed one step by one."
"Please assign me another team of soldiers. I promise that this time, we will succeed."
Yun Boyu glanced at him coldly and spoke bluntly.
"Your Highness, don't be so confident."
"You can guarantee that you will win next time, but how can you guarantee that King Li will still send him to compete with you next time?"
"Lord Cen, the Prime Minister of Beizhao, is not my wife's most proud disciple."
"You can't even defeat him. If Prince Li sends Lords Ji and Zhuo, how will you deal with him?"
"In addition, your opponent is Lord Cen. This is just your guess."
"You haven't even seen the opponent, so you have no way of judging who he is. How can you be sure that it was Prince Li who kidnapped Xi'er?"
"Madam Mei clearly said that you are the emperor's minister, take Xi'er away."
"You always talk about other things, which makes me suspect that you have other intentions!"
Gu Yihe's face suddenly turned cold.
"Is what Lord Yun said what the Emperor's uncle was thinking?"
Yan Yu is honest.
"I am a little suspicious."
Gu Yihe was furious.
"If the emperor's uncle doesn't trust me, what else can I do?"
"Please allow my nephew to leave!"
Yan Yu felt like crying but had no tears, but she still tried to smile on the surface.
"Can you be patient, please?"
"Didn't you say that the little sister is your benefactor and it is your duty to save her?"
Gu Yihe kept scolding and was furious.
"Is it because I don't want to save you? You are the ones who are tripping me up!"
"It's normal that I can't defeat the people of Beizhaotai. Not only do you not understand, but you also doubt me."
“Is there anyone who saves people like you?”
"Is it because I don't want to be on the same page with you guys?"
Feeling embarrassed to ask the prince to coax and persuade, Gao Jing spoke up, comforted He'er, and made a suggestion.
"There is no use in arguing, just be patient."
"Since we are deeply involved in the situation and cannot succeed in a duel of wits, why not try another method to rescue Princess Yuexi?"
"What do you say?"
Gu Yihe saw through it immediately.
"That doesn't sound like your tone."
"Who taught you this?"
"Is it the Emperor's uncle?"
Gao Jing was at a loss.
"no……"
Gu Yihe glared at him angrily.
"Master Gao, do you think it's easy to think of a countermeasure?"
"I went deep into the bureau, and I was lucky to come back safely. Not only did you not worry about me, you also gave me problems."
"What are you worried about?"
"Who are you helping, the Emperor's uncle or me?!"
Gao Jing was even more at a loss.
"me……"
Yan Yu was filled with sorrow and irritability, and her smile disappeared.
"Don't make things difficult for Gao Jing."
"This is what the king said."
"I admit that I have doubts about you, but I am reasonable and am willing to give you a chance to prove your loyalty."
Gu Yihe was indignant.
"I was kind-hearted and saved your subordinates. It would have been fine if you didn't trust me, but you actually had the guts to ask me to prove my loyalty?"
"ridiculous!"
Zhuang Shao hurriedly tried to reconcile.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, please calm down."
"I have something to say, please listen carefully."
"Saving people from King Li is as difficult as ascending to heaven. We should remain calm and avoid acting rashly."
"It is indeed difficult to think of a countermeasure. I beg Your Majesty to give the Sixth Princess some time to think of a good strategy, and also give the officials of the Supervisory Office some time to search for new clues."
"We'll meet again tomorrow."
"I hope Your Majesty will accept my humble opinion."
Yan Yu agreed.
"it is good."
He reflected deeply and formally apologized.
"Employ people with confidence, and employ people with doubt. I failed to show understanding and trust, and I am at fault. I beg for your forgiveness, nephew."
"Please return home, nephew, and think of a good plan. We will see you tomorrow."
Gu Yihe stood up and bowed.
"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, and thank you, Lord Fang."
"I'll take my leave, nephew."
Yun Boyu had something to say, so he signaled Yan Yu with his eyes to ask Gao Jing to leave.
Yan Yu understood and dismissed the people around him.
Yun Baiyu made a solemn remonstrance.
"Your Majesty must not be deceived by sycophants."
"Don't listen to her high-sounding words, saying that both military and counsellors are indispensable, as if she has considered everything and puts the prince's safety first. In fact, she just wants to relax our defenses and easily transfer the people from the Supervisory Office."
Zhuang Shao worked tirelessly to negotiate peace.
"Brother-in-law, there is no need to give advice. Let's wait and see tomorrow whether she can come up with a clever plan or not. Then we will know."
Yun Baiyu felt that he had suffered a lot but could not express it in words.
"How can you trust her so much?"
"Don't forget that she was a minister of the emperor and she plotted to murder Xi'er."
"I will ask you one question, and you will know the truth."
"Prince Li is related to her by blood. We are all outsiders to her. If it were you, what would you choose?"
Zhuang Shao’s words are righteous and stern.
"Brother-in-law asks even though he knows the answer."
"I did not choose Brother Gu. I was determined to assist the prince."
Yun Boyu was caught off guard by his answer and was speechless for a moment.
"Uh...you..."
He sighed with regret.
"Ugh."
"If one of my wife and apprentice stayed with the prince, why would we need to rely on the Sixth Princess for advice?"
After he said that, Yan Yu suddenly realized and thought of Miao Si.
Her identity was embarrassing, and she might have been implicated by the Zhong and Yao clans, so he did not reveal her story to his people.
The younger sister said that with his status, Fifth Senior Sister would feel uncomfortable if he went there.
He obeyed and never interrupted.
However, now he was at his wit's end, and he had no choice but to go and ask for advice, even if it was presumptuous.
