Chapter 788: Chapter 788: The Pouch is for Meng Yunzheng Chapter 788: Chapter 788: The Pouch is for Meng Yunzheng Meng Yunzheng took the note from her once she had positioned herself properly.

Unfolding it, he saw written on the paper, “Gao Rui, Panlin, yes.”

After reading it, his eyes suddenly changed, and he looked at Shu Yu with a smile.

Shu Yu thought maybe she had drunk too much wine, her eyes blurry, or else why did it seem like he had just won the lottery.

She blinked her eyes and asked curiously, “Do you understand what it says?”

“Mm.”

Shu Yu’s eyes widened, “You really understand?” She took the note back again and stared at it closely for a while, but was still completely baffled.

Why couldn’t she understand the note from her master, but Meng Yunzheng got it at one glance?

Could it be that this note was actually meant for him?

Shu Yu pursed her lips and snorted coldly, “What does it mean?”

“Gao Rui, is the name of the former Minister of the Ministry of War who retired due to illness. Ever since he left his post, it’s as if he vanished, with various speculations about his whereabouts in the court. Some say he has died, some say he found a paradise to recuperate, while others say he isn’t sick at all and went off to enjoy himself with his favorite concubine. Even his family doesn’t know where he is, whether he’s dead or alive.”

Shu Yu finally understood; no wonder the name was so unfamiliar to her, she had never heard it before, “Then, what does this Panlin mean?”

“Panlin is a county town, located not far from the capital. Panlin County is very small, with no distinguishing features, and hardly any major incidents ever happen. It’s a rather dull and inconspicuous place.”

“So what my master means is, this Gao Rui is in Panlin County?”

Meng Yunzheng nodded, “Yes, and he should be a breakthrough point. I may not have told you, but the Dongqing Temple master is not only excellent at divination, she also is an honored guest of the Emperor. Of course, not many people are aware of this; even the Fifth Prince came to know of this by accident. So his seeking the temple master wasn’t just for getting a divination.”

Shu Yu raised an eyebrow, “So it could also be to win over my master to find out some information about the Emperor?”

“Mm.”

But now it was no longer necessary. With this pouch, the Fifth Prince would give up searching for the Dongqing Temple master.

First, she had given an important clue.

Second…

Meng Yunzheng smiled, as the Dongqing Temple master was willing to provide such information, it meant she was assisting the Fifth Prince. It also implied indirectly that the Fifth Prince was the person she deemed fit, and he would ultimately ascend to the throne.

The Fifth Prince would be the ultimate winner, which meant to Meng Yunzheng, taking revenge for his parents would also become much easier.

Shu Yu took the note and looked it over, clicking her tongue twice, “Turns out this note really wasn’t for me, it was for you.”

Having said that, she tucked the note back into the pouch, “Here, take it then.”

“Thank you.”

“Thanking me for what?”

“If it weren’t for you, the temple master might have remained indifferent, as it wouldn’t have affected her.”

Shu Yu was silent for a moment, “Honestly, I still don’t know what my master is thinking.”

Perhaps the thoughts of a great master are always unfathomable.

Shu Yu shook her head, no longer dwelling on it, and then asked him, “So are you going back to the Capital?”

“No, if I go back to the Capital, I might expose myself in front of the Gong Family. This pouch can simply be sent back to the Fifth Prince. There’s no need to make the journey there personally.”

And besides, the Capital is too far. If he were to go, who knows when he would return.
