But she forgot that Gu Ruobai was different from that scumbag, which was also one of the reasons why she was willing to get close to Gu Ruobai.
Seeing the smile reappear on Su Mingyu's face, Gu Ruobai also wore a smile on his face. "Our little girl already cares so much about me."
The originally slightly sad atmosphere instantly turned ambiguous after his words.
Su Mingyu blushed. She suddenly withdrew her hand and glared askance at Gu Ruobai. "Something's wrong. You actually sent Mu Yi to spy on me?"
Gu Ruobai calmly took a sip of tea without a hint of embarrassment before saying, "I call that protecting you. Did he affect your normal life? Even when you went to 'Wu Wang' alone, didn't he just watch quietly without interfering?"
It seemed to make sense, but she was indeed being spied on!
Su Mingyu clicked her tongue. "Fine. I won't argue with you about this. I've retrieved 'Wu Wang'. I want them to quickly infiltrate every corner of the capital."
Gu Ruobai squinted at her. "You don't seem to just want to run an 'organization'. Do you want to establish your own intelligence network?"
Su Mingyu was a bit annoyed that Gu Ruobai had guessed her thoughts just from one sentence. "What's wrong with that? After all, information is much more profitable than human heads."
"Of course there's nothing wrong with it." Gu Ruobai lowered his eyes. "But I have to remind you that the underground transactions in the capital are extremely complex. There are many people you shouldn't provoke."
Su Mingyu knew he was worried about her. She nodded. "I know. But I'm just a nobody. Who would care about me?"
Gu Ruobai chuckled, his tone unfathomable. "You're quite capable."
Taking it as a compliment, Su Mingyu gulped down her tea and asked, "I'm not a prince. Are you afraid I'll pose a threat to you?"
Then she grinned. "Don't worry. If I get any information that's detrimental to you, Your Highness, I'll sell it to you at the lowest price."
Seeing her shrewd look, Gu Ruobai found it amusing. "I even gave you the silver to open the clothing store. Now you're actually willing to sell me information for money?"
Su Mingyu squinted her bright eyes. "Even brothers should settle accounts clearly."
Seeing that she was already scheming against him again, Gu Ruobai's eyes were full of helplessness and doting. "Fine. If you really find any information that's bad for me, I'll buy it from you at three times the price. How about that?"
Just as they were talking, Mu Yi suddenly trotted over nervously.
He whispered something in Gu Ruobai's ear. Immediately, Gu Ruobai's face darkened.
Su Mingyu's heart sank too. "What's wrong? What happened? Why do you look so grim?"
Gu Ruobai looked up at Su Mingyu and said, "It's the King of Yu."
The King of Yu?
"Aren't you on bad terms with him? Why has he suddenly come to your mansion to pay a visit?"
Su Mingyu looked at Mu Yi doubtfully. Just as she was about to ask further, she saw the King of Yu push aside the servant blocking his way and said coldly, "I seemed to see a man outside who looked very much like the King of Ruixian. He led Su Mingyu into the mansion of the King of Ruixian."
As he said that, he spotted Su Mingyu sitting opposite Gu Ruobai at a glance. Then he raised his eyebrows and smiled. "So I wasn't mistaken just now. Miss Su, you were led in by my elder brother, weren't you?"
Su Mingyu looked at him with a clear and cold look in her eyes, as if she didn't understand what he was talking about at all. "I've been in the mansion of the King of Ruixian since early morning. I wonder when the person you mentioned was seen by Your Highness?"
"Since early morning?" The King of Yu sneered. "I clearly saw you enter the mansion of the King of Ruixian through the back door just now. And you're telling me you've been here since early morning? Is Miss Su implying that my eyesight is bad?"
Su Mingyu seemed a bit scared. She quickly apologized to him. "Mingyu certainly doesn't mean that. It's just that I did come to the mansion early this morning. Can Your Highness remember what clothes that man was wearing and what kind of hairstyle he had?"
"Also," Su Mingyu glanced at Gu Ruobai and continued, "when you said that he led me in, do you mean that his legs were fine?"
"You see, the King of Ruixian's leg has been injured for so long. Even the imperial physician said that he would never be able to stand up again. Does the King of Yu think that the King of Ruixian is deliberately deceiving the monarch?"
"He's actually fine but tells everyone that his leg is injured and he can't stand up. He has to sit in this wheelchair every day and endure this confinement. If it were you, would you be willing?"
Su Mingyu's words left the King of Yu speechless.
Actually, he had been a bit confused when he saw that figure, but he had seen Su Mingyu clearly.
However, when he came in and saw that Su Mingyu had changed her clothes, he felt that something was fishy.
But since he had already come in, he couldn't just leave in defeat. So he still questioned them. He didn't expect that his elder brother hadn't said much, but Su Mingyu had actually defended him so much.
"I never realized before that Miss Su was so eloquent."
Su Mingyu pursed her lips and smiled innocently. "I don't understand what Your Highness means. I'm just telling the truth."
"Moreover," Su Mingyu sized up the King of Yu. "Your Highness said that you saw the King of Ruixian leading me into the mansion through the back door just now. May I boldly ask why Your Highness was around the mansion of the King of Ruixian?"
"After all, this mansion is located in a remote area. There are no peddlers and no entertainment or consumption venues around. Does Your Highness mean that you've been monitoring the movements of the mansion of the King of Ruixian?"
Su Mingyu's words immediately put the blame of high - treason on him.
The King of Yu's face changed. "I just happened to pass by. So what? Am I not allowed to?"
Su Mingyu shook her head. "Of course not. I'm just curious. Your Highness can pass by wherever you want. This is the capital, the territory of our royal family. Every inch of land belongs to you. Naturally, it's up to you."
The King of Yu laughed softly. "I never realized before that you could say such things. You're actually trying to set me up."
Then the King of Yu raised his hands towards the sky. "This capital belongs to my father, and this world also belongs to my father. How can it be mine?"
"I just passed by here. You've said so much to me. Are you feeling guilty?"
