Chapter 788: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 788: The Purse is for Meng Yunzheng
Meng Yunzheng took the note from Shu Yu as she stood in place.
Unfolding it, he saw the words written on it, "Gao Rui, Panlin, possible."
After reading it, his expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Shu Yu with a smile.
Shu Yu thought she had drunk a bit too much wine earlier, causing her vision to blur. Otherwise, why did he seem as if he had won the lottery?
She blinked curiously and asked him, "Did you understand it?"
"Yes."
Shu Yu widened her eyes. "You really understood it?" he handed the note back to her, staring at it carefully for a while, but she was still puzzled.
Why couldn't she understand the note given to her by her master, while Meng Yunzheng seemed to grasp its meaning at a glance?
Could it be that the note was actually meant for him?
Shu Yu pursed her lips and snorted, asking, "What does it mean?"
"Gao Rui is the name of the former Minister of War who retired due to illness. Since he resigned, he seemed to have disappeared completely. There have been various discussions in the court about his whereabouts. Some say he has already passed away, some say he found a secluded place to recuperate, and others say he isn't actually sick and has gone traveling with his favorite mistress. Even his family doesn't know where he went or whether he is alive or dead."
Shu Yu suddenly realized. As she suspected, the name sounded unfamiliar. She had never heard of it before. "So, does Panlin refer to a place?"
"Panlin is a county not far from the capital. It's a small county with no distinctive features and even lacks any significant events. It's a place that is very plain and unremarkable."
"So, my master meant that this Gao Rui is in Panlin County?"
Meng Yunzheng nodded. "Yes, and he should be a breakthrough point. I might not have mentioned this to you before, but Dongqing Temple's master is not only skilled in divination, she is also a guest of the current emperor. Of course, not many people know about this, and the Fifth Prince only accidentally found out. So when he sought the master's help, it wasn't just for her to calculate a result."
Shu Yu raised an eyebrow. "It could also be to win the master's favor and inquire about some things regarding the emperor?"
"Yes."
However, that was no longer necessary now. With this purse, the Fifth Prince would give up searching for Dongqing Temple's master.
On one hand, she had provided an important clue.
On the other hand...
Meng Yunzheng smiled. The fact that Dongqing Temple's master was willing to provide this information meant that she was helping the Fifth Prince. But indirectly, it also indicated that the Fifth Prince was the person she had chosen, and he would ultimately ascend to the throne.
The Fifth Prince was the ultimate winner, which meant it would be much easier for Meng Yunzheng to seek justice for his parents.
Shu Yu handed the note to him and said, "So, it turns out this note isn't really meant for me. It's for you." She then stuffed the note back into the purse. "You can take it."
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"If it weren't for you, the master might have stayed out of this and it wouldn't have affected her in any way."
Shu Yu fell silent for a moment. "To be honest, I still don't understand what my master is thinking."
Perhaps the thoughts of a higher being were inscrutable.
Shu Yu shook her head, no longer dwelling on it, and instead asked him, "Are you going back to the capital?"
"No, if I return to the capital, I might be exposed to the imperial family. This purse can be sent back to the Fifth Prince by someone else. There's no need for me to make the trip personally."
Moreover, the capital was too far away. Once he left, he didn't know when he would be able to return.
