The next day.

Yuan Yu is resting at home.

Yuan Ci continued to serve in the imperial guards.

He is only twenty-four this year, only four years older than Ming Jingheng, but he has already served as the commander of the imperial guards.

Yuan Ci was mainly responsible for the safety of the emperor, and the Yulin Guards were also under his command.

As usual, Yuan Ci first went to the commander of the imperial guards' chamber, intending to take a look at the deployment of troops last night and whether anything special had happened.

He walked forward.

Many people greeted him respectfully when they saw him coming: "Commander."

Although Yuan Ci is young.

But because he was in a high position and was serious, people in the Imperial Guard camp were more or less afraid of him.

At this time, he just nodded and looked straight ahead without stopping until he saw a familiar figure and saw him talking and smiling with several people around him. He couldn't help but stop and frown.

"Ming Jingheng."

he shouted.

Ming Jingheng didn't see Yuan Ci at first, but when he heard the voice, he looked over.

"Commander?"

He was a little surprised that Yuan Ci called him.

Although they are in the same circle, there is a few years difference between them after all.

Ming Jingheng and Yuan Yu still have some friendship, but he has no friendship at all with Yuan Ci. At most they are just nodding acquaintances.

I don’t know why Yuan Ci suddenly called him.

Ming Jingheng didn't bother to talk to his friends around him, and hurriedly walked over with a smile on his face.

"Commander."

After Ming Jingheng went over, he greeted Yuan Ci again.

"Ah."

Yuan Ci looked at him.

Seeing that he looked fine, I asked him, "Have you been home these days?"

Ming Jingheng didn't expect Yuan Ci to ask such a question. He was a little surprised, but he didn't hide it and answered truthfully: "It's not time to rest yet. I haven't been home these few days."

It’s unclear why Yuan Ci suddenly asked this.

Ming Jingheng glanced at Yuan Ci secretly and asked, "Commander, what happened?"

Yuan Ci met Ming Jingheng's clear eyes and fell silent again.

In fact, he had no ill feelings towards Ming Jingheng.

On the contrary, he often felt that Ming Jingheng was a pretty good person. At least among the Yulin Guards, he was quite capable, honest, and motivated, and he would not do anything tricky.

Yuan Ci actually admires Ming Jingheng very much.

I also hope that he can follow this path well and not be affected by family matters.

He didn't call anyone by name, just said, "Come home and take a look when you have time." Then he said nothing more and just walked away.

Ming Jingheng was left completely confused.

"Commander."

"Commander."

……

A few greetings were given.

Seeing Yuan Ci walking away, Ming Jingheng's friends who were also in the Yulin Guard came over.

"What's going on? Why did the commander suddenly call you?"

They all asked Ming Jingheng questions at once.

Ming Jingheng himself was actually a little confused. He looked in the direction Yuan Ci left, and after a moment, he said hesitantly: "The commander asked me to go home when I have time."

"what?"

The others were also confused.

After looking at each other, they started talking at once.

"Since when did the commander start to take care of these things?"

"Yeah, what happened at your house?"

How could Ming Jingheng know? He had not received any information.

Seeing Ming Jingheng's grim expression, those people knew that he was worried about something happening at home, so they didn't bother to think about Yuan Ci's intentions, but comforted him: "Don't worry too much, if something really happened at home, they would have come to find you a long time ago."

"That's it."

……

Ming Jingheng thought so too.

But Yuan Ci is not the kind of person who would let go for no reason. If nothing really happened, he would never come to him and say such things.

He thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure out what had happened at home.

Things have been pretty quiet at home lately.

Could it be that Yanyan and her mother had another argument?

But with Yanyan's personality, even if her mother really said something, she probably wouldn't make a big deal about it.

After thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what happened. But he had something on his mind, so Ming Jingheng couldn't stay any longer. After hesitating for a while, Ming Jingheng finally pursed his lips and said, "I'll go ask Commander Tan for leave."

Commander Qin is Qin Fei, who is also Ming Jingheng's immediate superior.

After hearing what he said, the others stopped trying to persuade him. They were also afraid that something had really happened to his family, so they all nodded.

Ming Jingheng didn't say anything more. He bowed to them and turned to leave.

It was already quarter of an hour later when Yuan Ci found out that Ming Jingheng had asked for leave. He didn't say anything and continued to deal with the matters at hand.

……

Ming Jingheng asked for leave from the palace and rode home.

On the other side, Ming Jin, who had been sleeping since yesterday evening, finally woke up after a long sleep.

Before she woke up.

Hua Sui and others gathered in her yard, looking inside nervously.

"The master hasn't woken up yet. He has slept for too long..." Hua Sui was worried. "Is it really okay for him to keep sleeping like this? Or should we go and wake him up?"

Chun Yu was also worried and said, "I think so too. The master only had one meal yesterday. It's been a whole day. Don't let him get too hungry."

Yingge did not participate in such topics, she just sat in the corridor in silence.

"Aunt, what do you think?" Hua Sui asked Aunt Pei what she thought.

Aunt Pei was also a little hesitant.

She was also worried about the girl, but she also felt that it might take her some time to let go.

"Wait a little longer until noon. If the master hasn't woken up yet, go and call her." Aunt Pei finally made this decision.

She is an elder and a senior.

Hua Sui and Chun Yu naturally had nothing to say.

Aunt Pei was just about to let them go and do their work when they heard the sound of bells from inside.

at once--

Several people in the yard took action.

Several people, including Aunt Pei, walked in one after another.

Seeing that Ming Jin had already sat up and even put on his shoes, Hua Sui couldn't help but burst into tears: "Master, you are finally awake!"

She said as she ran towards Mingjin.

Chunyu is similar. Although not as extroverted as Huasui, his eyes are also red.

The calmest and most composed one was Brother Ying.

She just glanced at Mingjin and went to pour tea for someone silently.

"How about it?"

Aunt Pei followed and looked at Mingjin and asked with concern: "Are you feeling unwell? I'll ask Shen Daqing to find a doctor."

As soon as Mingjin woke up, he was surrounded by so many people greeting him.

Just as she was about to speak, Yingge handed her a cup of warm water. She smiled, took the tea and drank a sip before saying to them, "It's okay, I just slept too long and my head is a little dizzy."

She slept too long.

This sleep was dreamless, just a complete sleep.

After waking up, although I felt relaxed all over, I had indeed slept too long, so my mind was a little confused and I was a little hungry.

After taking a few more sips to relieve the dryness in her throat, she smiled and asked, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

“Yes, yes, yes!”

"The kitchen has been heating up porridge and food, just waiting for you to get up. I'll get it for you right away!" The speaker was Hua Sui.

She was quick on her feet and ran out immediately after she finished speaking.

Chun Yu also said, "I'll go and take a look too."

The two men went out one after the other. Seeing that there was no instruction, Yingge did not stay and went to guard outside.

Only Aunt Pei is left.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't hide the tears welling up in my eyes.

Mingjin knew that the nanny was feeling sorry for her.

Yesterday she came in a hurry with someone, catching the wet nurse off guard.

She was in no mood to talk at the time.

The wet nurse could see that something big had happened, but after looking at her expression, she didn't dare to ask her and could only help her go to bed.

Overnight.

I think the nanny already knows everything.

Mingjin put down the teacup in his hand and held the wet nurse's hand.

"Don't feel bad for me. I actually wanted to leave that place a long time ago. Now is the perfect time." Ming Jin smiled and talked to the woman. "From now on, I will be on my own. I can do whatever I want. No one can control me anymore."

"There's no reason for us to be bullied by them like this."

Aunt Pei still felt sorry for her. If she hadn't been afraid that something might have happened to the girl yesterday, after she knew what had happened, she would have wanted to rush directly to the Marquis' Mansion and ask the Marquis and his wife why they treated the girl like that!

Isn’t the girl their child?

Why is it always their girls who get hurt and wronged?

The more she thought about it, the more upset Aunt Pei felt, but she also knew that no matter how upset they felt or how much they wanted to stand up for justice, they were just outsiders in this matter.

No matter how painful it is, can it be more painful than that of a girl?

Fearing that she would make the girl uncomfortable if she said too much, Aunt Pei did not mention it any more. She just looked at Mingjin and said, "From now on, I will accompany you, as well as Huasui and the others. They are all good children."

Mingjin smiled.

She looked at the wet nurse and hummed softly.

Breakfast was served quickly, and Mingjin was helped to change his clothes by Aunt Pei. After breakfast, Mingjin was just about to think about what to do next.

Someone came to announce, "Princess, Miss Xu from Yong'an Lane is here to see you."
