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

Gu Mingheng was still thinking about Mingjin's words.

Suddenly he heard Mingjin calling his name, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

This was the first time he heard Ming Jin call him like this.

Somewhat novel.

His eyes unconsciously looked towards where Mingjin was, but when he saw Mingjin's serious yet worried face, Gu Mingheng immediately put his thoughts aside.

He put on a serious expression and assured Ming Jin, "Don't worry, I will send someone to investigate it thoroughly."

"If this matter is really related to the fourth brother..."

"Neither I nor my brother will let him off easily!"

When he talked about the latter part, Gu Mingheng's expression became obviously much more serious.

If this is a natural disaster, then we can only leave it at that. After all, no one can predict what a natural disaster might be. At most, we can punish the people in charge of the Ministry of Works and comfort those families who have lost their loved ones.

But if this is a man-made disaster...

Thinking of the increasing death toll in the past two days, Gu Mingheng couldn't help but frown.

If this collapse was really caused by someone behind the scenes...

He will never let this person go!

No matter who this person behind the scenes is, this kind of person who will do anything to achieve his goal and wantonly tramples on the lives of ordinary people...

Such people must be severely punished to appease the public anger!

Ming Jin looked at the man's face which suddenly turned gloomy, and her mood gradually became complicated.

On the one hand, she wanted someone to investigate Gu Changxuan to see if this matter was really related to him.

If there is really a relationship, we can also take the opportunity to eliminate Gu Changxuan to prevent him from causing trouble in the future.

But on the one hand——

But she didn't want Yixian to interfere in this matter.

She was afraid something might happen to him.

"If you don't want others to know, then you better not do it. I don't believe anyone can really hide it from the world."

"As long as you do it, it will definitely leave a mark."

"But Yixian——"

As Ming Jin was talking, she suddenly shook Gu Mingheng's hand vigorously. Then, she changed the subject and said to him under Gu Mingheng's gaze: "I don't want you to interfere in this matter."

"why?"

Gu Mingheng was really stunned this time.

He looked at Mingjin with confusion. He thought Yanyan said so much just to let him take over the matter. He had already planned to go to the palace tomorrow to inquire about the current investigation and then thoroughly investigate the matter with Chengqian.

I didn't expect Yanyan would say that.

He was a little confused for a moment.

Ming Jin pursed her red lips gently under his gaze.

She still didn't let go of his hand, just held it like this, and said to Gu Mingheng: "I know your heart is as vast as the sky and the earth, and can accommodate a hundred rivers."

"But no matter if it was done by Gu Changxuan or someone else, the Crown Prince is already investigating it, and Lord Yuan is among them."

"Whether it's Lord Yuan or His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, just give them a heads up and they will investigate the matter."

“You don’t need to show up.”

"You shouldn't show up again at a time like this."

This time, the collapse of Mingyue Tower and the injury of Yixian while protecting the people have caused a lot of uproar outside, and many people are praising Yixian for his good deed that day.

There are even many people who want to erect a monument to commemorate Yixian.

Compared to the Third Prince who is now in trouble and the Crown Prince who is the subject of much discussion, Yixian's reputation is really too good.

She was afraid that he would become a thorn in the eyes and flesh of others.

If Ming Jin didn't know about her past life, she wouldn't have interfered, but his "death" in her past life was always the first thorn in her heart.

She didn't know why Yixian faked his death in his previous life, and who forced him to fake his death, but she thought it must have something to do with those people in the palace.

Whether it's Gu Changxuan or Gu Changze——

She just wanted her Yixian to live a peaceful life in this life and not get involved in those power struggles anymore.

She just wanted to live a good life with him, peacefully and healthily.

If they want to fight, let them do it.

She didn't want anything to happen to her Yixian.

"Can I?" She didn't know how to explain to him, nor did she know if Yixian would listen to her. She could only look up at him with pleading in her eyes and ask him softly.

Gu Mingheng did not speak immediately this time.

He could see the worry and fear in Mingjin's eyes.

Under the light, the girl's fair face was illuminated by the orange-red candlelight, giving it a warm glow.

Her usually calm eyes were now slightly open, filled with worry.

Just staring at him without blinking.

Just look at him.

Anyone who sees such a look will be softened.

Besides, Gu Mingheng couldn't bear to see her like this.

Gu Mingheng was also a member of the royal family. He had seen brothers fighting against each other and clansmen killing each other. He was also familiar with all those conspiracies and intrigues.

How could he not know what Mingjin was worried about?

But if it were in the past, he would have done it even if he knew.

People can't not do something because they are afraid of something that hasn't happened yet, and they don't care what others think.

What he wants to do is to find out the truth and give justice to the dead souls and their living relatives.

But now——

Gu Mingheng looked at Mingjin's increasingly worried face.

He suddenly held her in his arms with a distressed look on his face. He stroked her back and promised her softly, "Okay, I won't go. I'll tell Yuan Yu to check it out. He'll do a thorough investigation."

Now he is no longer alone.

No matter what you do, you have to consider Yanyan.

Since she was afraid, he wouldn't do it.

Yuan Yu is from the Dali Temple, so it would be best for him to investigate this matter.

Gu Mingheng's words finally calmed Mingjin's anxious heart. She said nothing, but turned around and hugged him back tightly.

The waterside pavilion is very quiet.

Eunuch An and the others were waiting outside. Only Ming Jin and Gu Mingheng were here, and no one was talking.

The candlelight illuminated the figures of two people hugging each other.

Mingjin was always buried in Gu Mingheng's arms.

Gu Mingheng gently stroked her back, soothing her soul which had suddenly become fragile at this moment.

He still had many questions in his mind.

Yanyan's concern for Yue Qing is unreasonable and too targeted.

He still didn't know what the origin of this was.

Gu Mingheng wanted to ask.

The words came to his lips, but he didn't say them out loud. He didn't want to see Yanyan in trouble.

Let's wait until she wants to say it.

Gu Mingheng continued to comfort her, patting her back gently and asking no questions in a tolerant manner.

Ming Jin suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

She slowly raised her face in Gu Mingheng's arms, looked at the handsome man in front of her, and called softly, "Gu Mingheng."

This time she called out Gu Mingheng's name again.

Few people would call him by his name like this, but Gu Mingheng didn't care when he heard her call him like that.

He likes Mingjin to call him.

Whether it was a word or a name, as long as it came out of her mouth, he liked it.

His hand was still on Mingjin's back.

When he heard Ming Jin calling him, he lowered his eyes slightly, looked at her and replied softly, "What's wrong?"

"Isn't it good for me to do this?"

Ming Jin frowned and asked Gu Mingheng softly. She was actually not very good at getting along like this. Although she had been married, her relationship with Gu Changxuan was actually no different from before.

She does know how to take care of the house.

Also good at.

But for Ming Jin, how to get along with her future husband is still a big subject that she has not yet mastered.

She didn't know whether Gu Mingheng would think that she was being too annoying, nor did she know whether he would think that she was hindering him.

She was a little worried.

Maybe liking someone means you will be worried about gains and losses.

"Should I not hinder you?" she frowned and asked him softly.

"No, no, you're fine."

Gu Mingheng still held Mingjin gently in his arms. As he spoke, he stretched out his other hand and gently smoothed and pressed Mingjin's slightly frowned brows.

"You and I are going to be husband and wife soon."

"Husband and wife are one, so naturally they should consider each other more. There is no problem with that."

When Ming Jin heard him say this, she pursed her lips even more.

"But I don't seem to have done anything for you." She murmured softly.

She always felt that in their relationship, it seemed that Gu Mingheng was always making concessions and considering her. Did she do anything for him?

"How not?"

Gu Mingheng quickly interrupted Mingjin's thoughts.

"If you hadn't asked my brother for a marriage, I don't know when we would be able to get married."

"And that day in Mingyue Tower, you knew there would be danger, but you still ran towards me regardless of everything."

Speaking of this, Gu Mingheng still felt scared, but he couldn't help asking. He looked at Mingjin and asked, "Yanyan, what were you thinking at that time? Do you know that I was not sure I could get away with it?"

Ming Jin shook his head when he heard him talk about this.

She gradually came out of her original thoughts.

"I don't know either. My mind was completely blank at the time and I couldn't think of anything. I just knew that I couldn't bear to see anything happen to you."

"I don't want anything to happen to you."

"I know that my actions are like an ant trying to shake a tree. Maybe it will be useless, maybe it will make things worse, maybe we will both die... But at that moment, when I saw the pillar falling on you, I only thought..."

She suddenly stopped talking and looked at Gu Mingheng beside her.

Gu Mingheng looked at her eyes under the candlelight, which seemed to have ignited two flames.

Such determined and persistent eyes...

She clearly didn't say anything, but Gu Mingheng seemed to understand what she wanted to say.

'I just want to run to you.'

Gu Mingheng's soul trembled uncontrollably at this moment.

He reached out and hugged her again.

His eyes were slightly red. He did not say to Ming Jin, "Don't do anything stupid for me." He just whispered to Ming Jin, "I will live well."

Only if he lives well can he protect her and prevent her from doing such things again.

Ming Jin nodded softly.

She hugged Gu Mingheng back.

She no longer worried about who did more or less for whom. Their future had just begun, and there was no need to dwell on the past.

Looking forward is the best thing to do.

The two hugged each other for a long time, and the original walk became empty talk.

But in the end, Gu Mingheng still took Mingjin for a walk to the Princess's Mansion.

Didn't take the main road ahead.

Instead, he walked along the path of the palace towards the princess's residence.

This road was also the one Mingjin took when he first went to the palace with Gu Mingheng.

Although the scenery at night is not clear, it has its own unique flavor.
