The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Gu Mingheng stayed where he was and watched the group leave.

Qing Xin was still standing by his side. Seeing that his eyes were following the figures of the Ming family as they left, he couldn't help but wonder, "Since the prince is worried about the princess, why doesn't he escort her back in person?"

Gu Mingheng looked at Mingjin's carriage and said calmly, "People's words are scary."

Upon hearing this, Qing Xin nodded, not quite understanding.

Gu Mingheng did not explain further.

He watched the carriage go away, and only when it was out of sight did he withdraw his gaze and ride away.

……

Compared to the hustle and bustle on the way here, the carriage on the way back was very quiet.

Ming Jingting was drunk.

However, he was a good drinker and even when drunk, he did not cause any trouble but just fell asleep in his carriage.

Mingjin was afraid that the two children over there wouldn't be able to take good care of him, so he sent Chunyu over to take care of him.

This time they were riding in the same carriage with the same three people who came here.

She, Mingrong, Mingsheng...

Ming Sheng looked at Ming Rong beside him, who had a sullen face, suppressed his anger, and glared fiercely at his seventh sister from time to time. He didn't know what was going on.

She opened her mouth to ask.

Considering Mingrong's temper, he was a little hesitant to speak and could only keep his mouth shut.

Ming Jin simply closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Several times she felt someone staring at her from the opposite side. She knew who it was, but she was too lazy to pay attention. She closed her eyes and thought about Gu Changxuan's relationship chain.

Now that you have made up your mind, you should start doing it as soon as possible.

Isn't Gu Changxuan the best at pretending? Then let outsiders know that he is not so unprofitable.

On the contrary, he knows how to plan better than anyone else!

Otherwise, it would be such a pity for the Crown Prince and the Third Prince to lose, wouldn’t it?

Although during the two years she was married to Gu Changxuan, Gu Changxuan did not fall in love with her.

But the two of them were married after all, and there were some things that Gu Changxuan couldn't hide from her eyes, plus what happened later...

However, it is not easy to completely overthrow Gu Changxuan now.

The reason why Gu Changxuan fell in his previous life was because he persecuted Emperor Zhenguang, which became the evidence for Gu Changye to attack him.

Although the Crown Prince and the Third Prince had died one after another at that time, and Gu Changxuan had been designated as the heir apparent, Emperor Zhenguang did not know why, but was clearly seriously ill, and was reluctant to issue an edict. He even wanted to pass the throne to his youngest son, Gu Changye, before he died.

How could Gu Changxuan tolerate this after he knew about it?

He had been planning for many years just to sit on the throne, and for this, he had been humble for so many years.

I didn't expect that something would go wrong at the last minute.

So he and Concubine Xian decided to go all out and poisoned Emperor Zhenguang.

As for why Mingjin knew about this, it was because of Zhou Que.

He was not only Gu Jiarou's husband, but also the best knife that Gu Mingheng used at that time. It was precisely because of this evidence that Mingjin was able to contact Gu Changye and tell him the truth.

Only then will Gu Changye go all the way north and take away Gu Changxuan's kingdom.

It is not easy to bring down.

But it would be good to let others, especially people in the royal family, know Gu Changxuan's true identity so that they can be on guard.

We can't let him win so easily like he did in his previous life.

If she remembered correctly.

There are Gu Changxuan's people in the Eastern Palace and the Third Prince's Mansion.

——Especially Li Zhanshi of the Eastern Palace.

Li Zhanshi, whose real name was Chang and whose courtesy name was Zixi, was the Prince's Zhanshi of the third rank. He was in charge of the government affairs of the Eastern Palace and assisted the Crown Prince, and was also considered to be half of his teacher.

This chess piece remained undiscovered until the prince was deposed and died.

Ming Jin found out that he was Gu Changxuan's man the night before Gu Changxuan was to ascend the throne.

that time.

She had completely fallen out with the Ming family and Gu Changxuan.

She hated Gu Changxuan so much in her heart that she was too lazy to pretend with him anymore.

But perhaps because she had once saved Gu Changxuan, the people in the prince's mansion, especially Gu Changxuan's confidants, began to respect her.

Usually when she was in the mansion, no one dared to stop her wherever she wanted to go except Gu Changxuan's study.

That night, she was taking a walk in the mansion when she suddenly saw a man in a black cloak being led towards Gu Changxuan's study by Gu Changxuan's close follower Feng Li.

Ming Jin didn't take it seriously at first until he saw the face hidden under the black hood.

It was none other than Li Chang, the Prince's Secretary back then.

After the crown prince was deposed, the officials in the Eastern Palace were either sentenced to death or imprisoned.

As Li Chang was the prince's tutor, it was natural that he could not escape the disaster. Therefore, when Ming Jin saw this man in the mansion at that time, he was shocked.

Her sensitivity to some things made her subconsciously want to investigate the relationship between Li Chang and Gu Changxuan.

So Ming Jin secretly took a detour and went to Gu Changxuan's study.

There was someone guarding the front yard of the study, but no one was in the back yard.

It was there that Ming Jin learned that Li Chang was actually Gu Changxuan's man.

Gu Changxuan still thinks highly of him.

Not only did he call him "Sir", he also bowed to him.

Gu Changxuan even wanted to let Li Chang join the cabinet after he ascended the throne so that he could continue to assist him.

But Li Chang refused.

Ming Jin looked at the gentle and elegant man who used to be by the prince's side, now in the study with a haggard face.

His skinny body was covered with a loose, ill-fitting robe, and he looked so haggard that he seemed like he could collapse at any time.

At that time, Li Chang looked exhausted. Hearing this, he only said: "Thank you, Your Highness, but I am already tired. Now I just want to retire and return to my hometown to spend my time in the mountains and fields."

"I was invited to see Your Highness today, and I just wanted to say a few words to Your Highness. I have repaid what I owed Your Highness."

Mingjin didn't know what Li Chang owed Gu Changxuan.

But she knew that once the prince found out who had placed this chess piece next to him, with Gu Changze's vengeful nature, he would never let Gu Changxuan go.

The carriage stopped.

Mingjin opened his eyes.

Just then she saw Mingrong across from her still glaring at her with an angry look on his face.

Suddenly their eyes met.

Mingrong didn't expect Mingjin to open his eyes suddenly. She was stunned for a moment. Her face subconsciously turned pale, and her expression showed a bit of timidity at this moment.

But it only takes a moment.

Thinking of what Mingjin did today, she suddenly became angry.

If the people sent by King Chang'an hadn't been still outside, she would have quarreled with Ming Jin directly. But now she could only glare at Ming Jin fiercely, then slammed the curtain and walked downstairs.

"Fourth sister..."

Ming Sheng watched Ming Rong leave angrily and couldn't help but call out to her.

But Ming Rong didn't even turn around, and didn't even take Ming Jingxiao with him. He just walked forward with a sullen face.

"What's wrong with Fourth Sister?" Ming Sheng asked in a low voice.

Ming Jin looked at Ming Rong's leaving figure and said calmly, "Ignore her."

Ming Jin said this, straightening her dress gently, then holding the rabbit lantern, she also bent over and walked out of the carriage, stepping down.

Zhuo Qian was still standing by, and when he saw Ming Jin coming, he hurried forward to greet her.

"The county lord."

Mingjin had just learned his name from Chunyu.

At this moment, he called him in a gentle voice: "Thank you Guard Zhuo for seeing you off all the way. It's getting late, Guard Zhuo should go back first."

Zhuo Qian nodded.

But he did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked at Mingjin hesitantly.

Seeing his expression, Ming Jin guessed that he still had something to say to her. Without hesitation, she turned to Ming Sheng and said, "Fifth sister, ask someone to take our second brother back first."

Although Ming Sheng is gentle in nature, he is also obedient.

It is difficult to ask her to do something on her own initiative, but there will be nothing wrong if Mingjin tells her to do something.

She nodded and quickly turned around to give orders.

Ming Jin walked aside and spoke to Zhuo Qian: "What does Guard Zhuo want to say to me?"

Zhuo Qian breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally wanted to hand the things directly to the princess' maid named Chunyu, but Chunyu was still taking care of the second young master Ming.

He could only tell Princess Changle.

Zhuo Qian handed a prescription to Ming Jin.

Ming Jin was stunned.

She didn't know what it was, and kept saying, "What is this?"

After opening it, there was no need for Zhuo Qian to explain.

The thing she was holding in her hand was the recipe for the black plum cake.

Ming Jin looked up, unable to hide his surprise: "How did the prince know?"

Seeing that her second brother was drunk just now, she didn't have time to ask anyone for the prescription. She didn't expect Gu Mingheng to prepare it for her.

Zhuo Qian replied, "The prince saw you asking me a few questions just now, so he asked someone to prepare the things in advance. However, there were too many things to do at the moment, so I could only ask my subordinates to bring them to you privately."

It turned out to be the case.

Ming Jin felt a little warm in her heart, and she said softly, "Please thank the prince for me."

Zhuo Qian nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will do it."

He had something else to say to Mingjin.

"The prince asked me to tell the princess that no matter what difficulties you have, you can tell him and he will help you."

Ming Jin was stunned again.

She thought about that time and Gu Mingheng asked her what happened.

It seems that he still found out.

It was as if a warm current was injected into Mingjin's heart, and his heart was trembling slightly.

"……it is good."

She held the prescription and said softly to Zhuo Qian, "I understand."

"If necessary, I will."

Zhuo Qian finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He had already done everything the prince asked him to do. Seeing that the princess had no other instructions, he did not stay any longer. He bowed to Mingjin again, then mounted his horse and left.

Ming Jin glanced at his leaving figure, then looked at the note in his hand.

She only responded when Ming Sheng called her.
