On the way back.

When Gu Mingheng came to his senses, he felt a little embarrassed. He felt that he was already such a grown-up, ten years older than Yanyan, but he still had to let her coax him. It was really wrong.

Walking on the path back.

Gu Mingheng held Mingjin's hand and said to her softly, "You didn't even finish reading it just now."

He knew that Yanyan was trying to save his face, and was afraid that they would notice his condition after the show was over, so she took him away first.

But she didn't get to see the ending she wanted.

Gu Mingheng felt a little guilty.

He knew she enjoyed what she saw just now.

Ming Jin didn't take it seriously. Hearing this, he just smiled and said, "Didn't you tell me the ending? It doesn't matter whether I see it with my own eyes or not."

Compared to other things, she prefers to be alone with Gu Mingheng like this.

There is no one else and there is no need to do anything. Just hold each other's hands and walk quietly together.

It's just that the wind is a bit strong at night.

After the sun went down, Mingjin felt a little cold dressed like this.

She sniffed slightly.

She didn't know if it was because the cold wind had been blowing in her face for too long, but she felt her throat was a little itchy and her nose was a little uncomfortable.

"Frozen?"

Gu Mingheng noticed it immediately.

Ming Jin was just about to say it was okay when he saw Zhuo Qian coming over with a cloak.

Seeing that the style of the cloak belonged to Gu Mingheng, and seeing that Gu Mingheng didn't look surprised at all, Ming Jin guessed that he must have asked someone to get it.

"When did you give the order?" Ming Jin asked curiously.

She hadn't even noticed.

Gu Mingheng replied to her: "You were watching Brother Ying and Qing Xin competing just now."

Ming Jin thought about it and realized that at that time she was looking ahead with great excitement and indeed did not notice what Gu Mingheng did.

Zhuo Qian walked over and greeted them.

Mingjin nodded to him.

Gu Mingheng took the cloak from his hand and covered Mingjin with it.

The cloak, which usually only reaches his calves, seems a little too big when draped over Mingjin.

Mingjin is actually quite tall among women, but when she puts on Gu Mingheng's cloak, she suddenly looks like a child wearing adult clothes, and her clothes are so tall that they almost drag on the ground.

Gu Mingheng was not satisfied, but this was the only way at the moment. He said to Mingjin, "Just wear it for now. I'll ask the embroiderer in the palace to prepare a few more for you later."

When Ming Jin heard this, his heart beat rapidly and his face became hot.

Especially out of the corner of my eye I saw Zhuo Qian was still there.

"Need not."

She said, "I have it myself, you don't have to prepare it for me."

She naturally knew that Gu Mingheng was thoughtful, but after all, she had not yet married him, and the wedding date next year was almost five months away. How would it look to let the embroiderer in his mansion make clothes for her now?

She thinks this is not good.

But Gu Mingheng really cheated. He did not forcefully tell her "I want to do it for you". He just looked into her eyes and whispered to her, "I want to do it for you."

Ming Jin looked at his beautiful eyes and was speechless for a moment.

She had no way of rejecting him.

There is no way to deal with it at normal times, let alone like at this moment, being looked at by Gu Mingheng and listening to him talking like this.

If Zhuo Qian wasn't still around, she really wanted Gu Mingheng to stop doing this.

In the end, Ming Jin reluctantly agreed, but he also warned: "Don't do too much."

Gu Mingheng was naturally happy.

He smiled and said okay, then turned around and gave instructions to Zhuo Qian.

Zhuo Qian was naturally happy to see the prince and princess getting along like this. He smiled and agreed. Fearing that Ming Jin would feel embarrassed, Zhuo Qian considerately took his leave without waiting for their instructions.

Wait until he leaves.

Mingjin said to Gu Mingheng: "Don't do this again in the future. We haven't gotten married yet."

In fact, it was inappropriate for her to come to see Gu Mingheng alone. How could a lady from an ordinary family run to her fiancé like she did?

It's just that no one is looking after him, and she is really worried about him and wants to see him, so she can't care about anything else.

But Mingjin didn't want to make it too special.

"fine."

Gu Mingheng comforted her: "No one outside will know, and no one in the mansion will spread it."

Mingjin naturally believed him.

I wanted to say something else, but seeing that he was happy, I didn't want to make him disappointed, so I didn't say anything.

"Let's go."

Gu Mingheng said to her again: "Let's go back to the waterside pavilion first." After a while, it would be time for dinner.

Mingjin nodded.

The two returned to the waterside pavilion, and sure enough, not long after, Eunuch An brought people to serve dinner.

Tonight's dishes are richer than before. Ming Jin had no appetite in the past few days, but today he ate a lot.

After finishing dinner, she felt like she was almost bloating.

Eunuch An asked someone to prepare tea.

Ming Jin and Gu Mingheng were the only ones left in the pavilion. Ming Jin no longer concealed her feelings. She stood up and felt really overwhelmed.

Seeing her like this, Gu Mingheng immediately frowned and asked, "Are you able to hold on?"

He stood up as well.

Walk to Mingjin's side and help her.

Mingjin had indeed eaten too much today. Gu Mingheng looked helpless. He called out to someone to prepare some hawthorn preserves to help digestion. At the same time, he said to Mingjin, "If you can't eat, don't eat. You will definitely feel uncomfortable at night if you keep eating like this."

Ming Jin let Gu Ming Heng support her, and whispered, "Wasn't Eunuch An watching just now?"

The old man was so enthusiastic and kept adding more food to her plate. He really liked her, so Ming Jin naturally couldn't say no.

Gu Mingheng also knew that she was kind by nature, and he also blamed himself for not noticing that she was holding on, so he could only say: "I'll go outside with you later."

Mingjin nodded.

Then I heard Gu Mingheng say: "Shall I rub it for you?"

Ming Jin would naturally not agree to this. Her ears turned red and she quietly refused, "No, I'll sit for a while and take it easy."

After hearing her say this, Gu Mingheng didn't want to insist and could only help the person to sit inside.

There were several charcoal fires lit in the house, which was very comfortable.

Mingjin had already taken off his cloak.

Not long after, Eunuch An brought people to bring tea and hawthorn. He was also smart. When he saw that the prince suddenly asked for hawthorn, he knew that the princess must have eaten too much at night.

After he came in, he said to Ming Jin with a look of self-blame: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so self-satisfied that I just kept picking up food for you."

Mingjin naturally wouldn't blame him.

She had never felt much kindness before, so she especially cherishes everyone who is kind to her now.

"I wanted to eat it myself. The chefs in the kitchen cooked well. I have never eaten many of the dishes. I was greedy and couldn't help but eat a little more. It has nothing to do with my father-in-law." She gently comforted Eunuch An.

How could Eunuch An not know that she was comforting herself?

He felt half remorseful and half touched, and was almost wiping away tears: "If you like, come often. Usually they don't have much to show their abilities, and they are afraid that they will have no work to do. Now that you are here, they are so happy."

Facing Eunuch An, Ming Jin naturally smiled and said yes.

Eunuch An did not disturb them any further, let them have a good rest, and then led everyone to leave.

Wait until they leave.

Gu Mingheng handed her the digestive tea.

Ming Jin drank two sips, and then Gu Mingheng fed him a few hawthorn balls that were dried into candied fruit. Only then did he feel a little better.

"Do you feel better?"

Gu Mingheng was still worried.

If Mingjin still felt uncomfortable, he would have to ask the doctor from the palace to come and see her.

Fortunately, Ming Jin nodded and replied, "Better now."

She just felt a little uncomfortable just now, but now the feeling has actually eased a lot.

Seeing Gu Mingheng's worried look, she smiled and stretched out her hand, pressing her fingertips on his eyebrows, stretching them to both sides while saying to Gu Mingheng, "Don't frown, I'll pay attention next time."

Gu Mingheng held her hand on his face and said nothing.

The eyebrows that had been gathered into a mountain gradually relaxed again after hearing Ming Jin's words.

It's still cold at night.

The two did not go out for a walk immediately, but rested in the waterside pavilion.

"How is the investigation going into the Mingyue Tower incident?"

Ming Jin asked vaguely while eating the hawthorn that Gu Mingheng fed him.

She still cares about this matter and thinks it is not a simple matter.

Although Gu Mingheng did not intervene directly in this matter, he privately sent Zhuo Qian and others to inquire about it.

When Mingjin asked, he did not hide anything.

He told Ming Jin everything that Zhuo Qian had found out before, "So far, we have found out that Mingyue Tower has not been repaired for a long time, and several supporting pillars have been eaten by insects and ants, losing their original supporting strength. In addition, there are too many people going up to Mingyue Tower every day, so the collapse occurred."

"The people in the Ministry of Works are guilty of negligence in this matter. My brother has detained all the people in the Ministry of Works in the Ministry of Justice. I guess the Ministry of Works will have to be purged this time."

This kind of thing involves the court, so Gu Mingheng shouldn't have told Mingjin. But seeing that Mingjin wanted to hear it, Gu Mingheng didn't hide it.

After he finished speaking, he saw Ming Jin frowning and looking thoughtful.

I couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Mingjin didn't know what to say.

Since even Gu Mingheng found out this, it means that the person behind the scenes must have arranged the matter very perfectly, and it is impossible for anyone to find any loopholes so easily.

But Mingjin had lived a lifetime after all.

In her previous life, before her death, Mingyue Tower had always been in good condition. Why did it suddenly collapse in this life?

She had thought about it before.

Could it be due to other influences brought about by different life trajectories?

But when he thought of Gu Changxuan who appeared in front of Mingyue Tower that day, Ming Jin always felt that this matter was not that simple.

This person will not get up early without benefits, and he values ​​his life the most.

Why did he suddenly appear there? She really felt it was suspicious.

It’s just this——

How should she tell Gu Mingheng? She had no evidence.

"Yanyan?"

Gu Mingheng never heard Mingjin's voice, but he did hear her eyebrows gradually furrowed into a mountain.

He couldn't help but call her softly.

After seeing the mist in her eyes gradually dissipate, Gu Mingheng held Mingjin's hand and continued to ask: "What are you thinking about? Do you feel something is wrong? Or did you see something upstairs?"

Mingjin looked at Gu Mingheng's worried eyes.

She pursed her lips in silence, and finally looked at Gu Mingheng and said, "Why was Gu Changxuan down there that day?"

Gu Mingheng was startled: "Yue Qing?"

He didn't expect Yanyan to suddenly mention Yue Qing.

Thinking of Zhuo Qian's reply that day, although Gu Mingheng had some doubts in his heart, he temporarily calmed down and said to Ming Jin: "That day, Yue Qing was drinking tea nearby. When he heard someone outside say that Mingyue Tower had collapsed, he hurried over."

This was naturally what Gu Changxuan said that day.

This is how he explained it to his brother that day, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it.

Gu Mingheng didn’t think there was anything wrong with this before.

This is so normal.

Just like him and Yuan Yu, didn’t they rush over after hearing that something happened in Mingyue Tower that day?

He didn't know why Yanyan suddenly mentioned Yue Qing in this matter, and couldn't help but think of the note Cheng Qian received before...

Gu Mingheng frowned.

His first thought was, what on earth did Yue Qing do to Yanyan?

Think of this.

Gu Mingheng's face looked a little bad.

But according to his understanding, Yue Qing and Yanyan should not have much contact. Could it be because Yue Qing chose Ming Yao in the first place?

But based on his understanding of Yanyan, he knew that Yanyan was not such a person.

So what is the reason?

"Do you think this matter has something to do with Yue Qing?" He held Ming Jin's hand and asked softly.

Mingjin didn't know how to tell Gu Mingheng.

There were some things she didn't want to mention, not because she was afraid that Gu Mingheng would be scared, or because she cared about the fact that she had been with Gu Changxuan.

The truth is that her experiences in her previous life were not good at all.

She doesn't care about it now, but what about the people around her?

Why let them know and make them sad?

She was silent for a moment, and finally looked at Gu Mingheng, and decided to ask directly: "Gu Mingheng, do you believe me?"

No hesitation.

Almost immediately after she said this, the man in front of her shook her hand without hesitation and said, "Believe."

his answer.

Although it was within Mingjin's expectations.

But such decisiveness still surprised Ming Jin.

His eyes trembled slightly.

She looked at Gu Mingheng and couldn't help asking, "No matter what I say, will you believe it?" But her voice unconsciously became much lighter.

He answered affirmatively without any hesitation, and even his eyes did not avoid the slightest bit.

Mingjin's heart suddenly softened again. She looked at Gu Mingheng in front of her and thought he was really stupid.

Even she herself doesn't believe in herself.

He had no doubt about her.

She didn't say anything, but suddenly threw herself into Gu Mingheng's arms.

Gu Mingheng didn't understand what was wrong with her, but he still took the opportunity to hug her gently.

Mingjin didn't say anything.

Gu Mingheng did not ask any further questions immediately. He just hugged Mingjin gently and waited for her to speak.

After a while, Gu Mingheng heard Mingjin's voice in his ears: "I don't know either, but I just don't like Gu Changxuan. I always feel that this person is not as good as he appears to be."

"His goodness and kindness are too deliberate. I don't like it."

"I know that the Minister of Works is the Third Prince's man, and now the Crown Prince is investigating this matter. There are also many people outside saying that the Crown Prince is behind this..."

"Although most of these people are followers of the Third Prince and are saying this to deliberately confuse the public, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince have been fighting for a long time, and there are many people saying this. It is hard to guarantee that there won't be people who will follow suit. In the end, no one knows whether the Crown Prince will be implicated."

“But when it comes to Gu Changxuan, people outside have nothing but praise for him.”

"Don't you think his appearance that day was too coincidental?"

If Yixian hadn't been in charge this time, he would have snatched away the glory from Gu Changxuan.

I'm afraid everyone has to praise Gu Changxuan for his courage, wisdom, and his regard for the lives of the people. Such a person deserves to be the monarch of Daqian.

But Mingjin also knew that what he said was purely out of selfish desires and there was no evidence at all.

Even if Yixian believed her, outsiders would not believe her.

You can only check.

Get to the bottom of this matter and see if it has anything to do with Gu Changxuan.

Ming Jin came out of Gu Mingheng's arms. She sat up straight, looked at Gu Mingheng, and expressed her opinion seriously: "Yixian, I know that what I said may be irresponsible, but I really think that Gu Changxuan is too suspicious."
