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

Mingjin saw Gu Mingheng coming in a hurry.

She smiled and stepped off the step, waiting for him to come over.

Almost as soon as she stood firm and Brother Ying let go of her hand, Mingjin was hugged by Gu Mingheng, who had hurriedly jumped off his horse.

It was only after Gu Mingheng held Ming Jin in his arms, felt the warmth from her body, and the familiar fragrance from her, that he was finally sure that all this was true.

"Why did you come here suddenly? You didn't even tell me." Gu Mingheng said in a hoarse voice while hugging Mingjin.

After saying that, he loosened his arms again, held Mingjin's hand and examined it carefully.

Only after making sure she was safe did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"I was worried, so I came to take a look."

"I've asked Zhuo Qian and a few adults to look after Jiayuguan. Don't worry." After Ming Jin said this, he felt distressed when he looked at the face in front of him that was obviously tired and weathered.

She placed her hand on Gu Mingheng's much thinner face, and her eyes flashed with heartache.

"Thin."

Gu Mingheng reached out and pressed the back of Mingjin's hand that was on his face.

He said nothing, just looked at her quietly, then clenched his hands quietly.

Outside was not a place to talk, so Gu Mingheng took Ming Jin inside.

When Eunuch An heard the news, he hurried out. When he saw the couple coming in hand in hand, he was naturally happy.

But when I think of the current situation in Beijing, I can't help but worry.

He couldn't say anything about these things, so he could only look at the two and ask, "Your Majesty, Princess, are you hungry? I'll ask the kitchen to make some midnight snacks and send them over."

Mingjin is not actually hungry.

She came all the way here by carriage and didn't want to waste time on the road. She didn't eat or sleep well, so she couldn't eat anything at this moment.

Besides, she has no appetite in her current state...

But looking at the current state of the man beside him, Ming Jin still said to Eunuch An: "Excuse me, Eunuch, please ask someone to prepare something easy to digest."

"Well, I'll call someone to give the order right away." Eunuch An said and left.

Mingjin was taken back to the house by Gu Mingheng.

Return to the room.

The couple first changed into comfortable and convenient home clothes.

Tea and cakes have been served.

Gu Mingheng changed before Mingjin. When he saw Mingjin coming out from the inner room by lifting the curtain, he sat on the bed and stretched out his hand to him.

Wait for Mingjin to come out lightly and put her hand in his palm.

Gu Mingheng gently pulled Mingjin into his arms.

But he just held it like this.

Obviously, he was the one who reached out and took control, but the moment he hugged Ming Jin, he was like a tired beast resting beside his partner.

He held Ming Jin tightly in his arms.

It was as if the string that had been held tight for days finally relaxed completely the moment he saw Ming Jin.

He said nothing.

Ming Jin didn't say anything. She sat on Gu Mingheng's lap and gently hugged the tall and tired man in front of her.

After entering the city.

She sent someone to inquire about the situation in the capital during this period.

She knew that Gu Changze was dead.

When Ming Jin heard the news, he was in a trance for a moment.

Things seemed to be following the same path as in the previous life, which made her feel a little scared and helpless.

But soon, she gradually got rid of this fear.

It's still different after all.

Even if Gu Changze died, it didn't mean that things would become the same as in the previous life.

Her existence and her being with Yixian prove that some things can be changed.

Ming Jin naturally couldn't be as sad as Yi Xian about Gu Changze's death, but she couldn't really be indifferent either. She could only silently comfort her husband in this way.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Ming Jin heard footsteps outside, and Eunuch An's voice came from outside the door: "Prince, Princess, supper is ready."

Ming Jin then patted Gu Mingheng's back gently and said to him softly, "Eat something first."

Gu Mingheng said yes in a hoarse voice.

When Mingjin got up and stretched out his hand to him, Gu Mingheng took Mingjin's hand in his own palm.

"come in."

Mingjin called someone in.

After Eunuch An responded, he immediately led the servants carrying food boxes in.

They were all easily digestible things, so even if they ate them at night, they would not feel uncomfortable with indigestion. Eunuch An arranged everything for them one by one, and did not disturb them while they were talking, but went out to wait.

Mingjin couldn't eat, but still accompanied Gu Mingheng to drink a bowl of porridge.

"Is tomorrow the day of the prince's funeral?"

Ming Jin asked him while picking something up for Gu Mingheng.

Gu Mingheng hummed.

Ming Jin nodded and scooped up some porridge with a porcelain spoon: "Then I'll go with you tomorrow."

Gu Mingheng looked up when he heard this.

He looked at Mingjin, opened his mouth to say something, but finally agreed.

He didn't want Yanyan to work hard, but if others knew about it, there would be no guarantee that they would not talk about Yanyan if she was there but didn't show up.

"It's just right that you go to the palace tomorrow to accompany the emperor's sister-in-law. She has not been feeling well recently."

Mingjin already had this idea, so he agreed.

After a while, she asked Gu Mingheng again: "Is there any clue about the prince's death?"

Gu Mingheng did not hide it and told Mingjin about Cheng Qian mentioning Song He before his death.

"River Song?"

Mingjin was surprised.

Like Gu Mingheng at that time, Ming Jin also did not expect that this matter would be related to Song He.

After all, I lived one more life.

Ming Jin knew that Gu Changze had always been pessimistic about eunuchs.

But Mingjin still found it unbelievable that Song Heguang poisoned and murdered him because of this.

He couldn't help but think of his previous life, when after Gu Changxuan ascended the throne, Song He still sat firmly in the Imperial Household Department.

Could it be that these two people have already cooperated?

Ming Jin did not notice this in his previous life, so naturally it was impossible for him to investigate.

But the fact that Zhou married Gu Jiarou for no reason in his previous life is indeed a bit strange.

The most surprising thing is that Gu Jiarou really married Zhou Que.

Considering Gu Jiarou's status as a princess, marrying Zhou Que was obviously a marriage of inferiority.

Could it be Song He's instruction?

Has he already collaborated with Gu Changxuan?

After all, it was just a guess, so Ming Jin could only frown and ask, "Is Song He in touch with Gu Changxuan?"

She knew that Gu Changxuan was also in the capital recently.

She always felt that this matter could not be separated from Gu Changxuan.

But the line about Song He was something she had never thought of before.

Gu Mingheng was not surprised that Yanyan would ask this. Not to mention that Yanyan had always had a grudge against Changxuan, even he had thought so at the beginning.

"I have sent someone to investigate, but there is no result yet."

Qing Xin is now guarding the palace every day, and has not found anything wrong with Song He. The same is true for Gu Changxuan... let alone meeting and contacting each other privately.

But it is also possible that they guessed it and deliberately did not contact us at this time.

Of course he could lock Song He up now, but what's the use?

If you want to investigate, you must investigate thoroughly.

"I also sent people to Songhe's hometown to investigate..."

As he was talking, Wu Ji came in and replied from outside: "My Lord, Princess, the people sent to Qingzhou have returned."

Qingzhou is Song He’s hometown.

Gu Mingheng put down his chopsticks and let the person in.

Ming Jin also put down the white porcelain spoon.

After Wu Ji came in, he saluted the two men first, and then told them the news the visitor brought: "Qingzhou was able to find out Song He's situation, just as it was registered in the previous book. There is nothing special about his life experience. His family was poor, and his parents died in a famine. After that, he followed the refugees to the capital and sold himself to the palace."

Gu Mingheng remained silent upon hearing this.

Although he thought about it, it couldn't be wrong. Even though Song He was extremely powerful now, he was only eight years old when he entered the palace.

If there was really something wrong with his identity, he would never be able to enter the palace.

But he still felt that Song He was not that simple.

No reason.

It's just how he feels.

But his feelings are often very accurate.

Gu Mingheng bent his long fingers slightly, placed them on the table, pursed his lips and lowered his eyes. After a while, he spoke to Wu Ji and said, "I understand. Let's go down."

Wu Ji was about to respond and leave.

Ming Jin suddenly frowned and said, "Send someone to Penglai in Dengzhou to check it out."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Wu Ji looked over, but Gu Mingheng also looked at Ming Jin in surprise.

Mingjin didn't know how to explain it to him.

She also thought of it suddenly.

In his previous life, Zhou often went to Penglai, especially in May every year.

One time Ming Jin asked him about it, and he just said that he was going to do something for Song He.

Mingjin didn't think much about it at the time.

Now I can't help but think more.

For no reason, why do I have to go to Penglai every May?

What exactly is there in Penglai? Zhou has to go there every year, more than once.

It’s a pity that she didn’t ask more questions at the time.

However, Zhou now has no memory of his past life.

Otherwise it's simple.

Just find someone and ask.

"...I'll talk to you about this later." This is all Ming Jin could say to Gu Mingheng at this time.

She no longer minds telling him about her past life.

But not at a time like this.

Her husband was already tired enough, and she didn't want to make him suffer any more.

At least until this is over.

Gu Mingheng always knew that his wife had a secret.

He never asked any questions, either in the past or now.

At this moment, he and Mingjin looked at each other.

Seeing hesitation and worry in her eyes, he didn't ask anything, but just gently held her hand.

Then, under her gaze, he whispered yes.

He turned around and told Wu Ji, "Go there in person and check it out carefully."

Mingjin added another sentence at the right time.

"When you get there, ask them if there are any special festivals or events there in May every year."

Now that the matter has begun, Mingjin has nothing to hide.

The most taboo thing now is concealment.

Any clue can bring different results.

Mingjin naturally told everything he knew.

"Listen to the princess."

Gu Mingheng held Mingjin's hand and spoke to Wu Ji.

Although Wu Ji was still a little confused, he always followed orders. Even if he was confused, he would not ask too many questions and just nodded in agreement.

There was no delay.

That night, he took the token and left the capital, going to Dengzhou alone.

……

The next day.

Mingjin and Gu Mingheng got up early in the morning and went to the palace.

I burned incense in front of the spirit.

Afterwards, Gu Mingheng would take people to the imperial mausoleum.

Ming Jin stayed in the palace with some officials' wives to help. She took the opportunity to go to Weiyang Palace to see Queen Yuan.
