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

Gu Mingheng returned to the palace at night.

If you want to go to war, you have to prepare in advance, recruit soldiers, and prepare various supplies...

I also have to meet with several generals who are going to go on the expedition together.

When I got home, it was already very late at night.

Gu Mingheng went straight back to the courtyard. Aunt Pei and Brother Ying were still waiting outside. When they saw him, they both stood up and called him from the corridor, "Prince."

Gu Mingheng nodded.

He had been busy all night, running around all the way, and had barely had any water to drink, so his voice was dry and hoarse.

"Where's the princess?"

he asked Aunt Pei.

While speaking, he looked past Aunt Pei towards the room behind her. He didn't hear any movement inside, so Gu Mingheng deliberately lowered his voice and asked, "Are you asleep?"

Aunt Pei replied, "She refused to sleep, saying she wanted to wait for you to come back. When I went in just now, the princess was still reading inside."

Gu Mingheng didn't say anything and went straight in.

He strode directly into the inner room and saw Ming Jin leaning on the Xiangfei couch by the window with her eyes closed. The book in her hand was about to fall. He knew that she was too tired of waiting and fell asleep.

Don't want to wake her.

Gu Mingheng saw this scene and walked towards the people while lowering his footsteps.

He put his hand under the book and was about to take it out carefully, then carry the person to bed and go to sleep, but he woke the person up unexpectedly.

Mingjin opened his eyes.

Before I could see clearly what was in front of me, I heard a familiar voice: "Did I wake you up?"

His brain was still a little confused, but when he heard this voice, his mind had become somewhat clearer.

"No, I didn't sleep much anyway."

As she spoke, she habitually stretched out her hand towards Gu Mingheng, who took the book and held her in his arms.

The broad and warm body wrapped around him, and Ming Jin put his face on Gu Mingheng's shoulder.

Before Gu Mingheng could hesitate about how to start the conversation, she asked softly, "When are we leaving?"

The hand that was gently soothing her back suddenly paused.

After a while, Ming Jin heard his increasingly hoarse voice: "...early tomorrow morning."

The battlefield is changing rapidly.

Every day longer means more danger.

If everything had not been prepared tonight, he would probably have left after receiving the order.

Just like every time before.

After receiving the order, the troops were ordered to go to battle.

But now things are different after all. He is a married man.

There aren't many opportunities left for him to take over without first discussing this with Yanyan.

If you don't even come back once, that would be too much.

But he had to squeeze in time to come back, which meant early tomorrow morning, but in fact he could only stay with her for a few hours before he had to prepare to leave.

"Yanyan..."

He called her name in a low, hoarse voice, but he didn't know what to say.

Throughout his life, he never let anyone down in anything he did. He did everything he could for his country, his people, his subjects, and his brothers.

The only thing he always felt guilty about was his wife.

He failed to save her when she was young, causing her to wander around outside for ten years. After marrying her, he was unable to let her live the stable life she wanted.

Going to war——

It was his duty as a subject and a citizen of Daqian, and he never regretted taking on this task in the hall.

But how should he tell Yanyan?

They got married with great difficulty, but now they have to separate again.

Gu Mingheng couldn't help but feel guilty.

He lowered his eyes, holding Ming Jin's waist tightly with his hands, as if he wanted to embed her deeply into his body, but he was afraid of hurting her accidentally, so he could only hold her in vain.

"I……"

He opened his mouth.

But before he could finish, Ming Jin spoke first: "You don't have to apologize to me, I understand."

"You don't have to worry about me. I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Yi Xian——"

Ming Jin raised his head while shouting his name.

Ming Jin's eyes were level with his guilty and self-blaming ones, and she reached out and gently stroked his face. She did not blame him, nor did she just feel sad in the little time left.

It's already been decided.

Then let him leave in peace instead of wasting time in quarrels and tears.

Mingjin is not a real little girl after all. Even though she is reluctant, she knows what is more important.

"I only have one request, come back safely."

Their eyes met, Gu Mingheng looked at her gentle face, his eyelashes trembling, and suddenly, he uncontrollably hugged her in his arms.

This time I really put in some effort.

Gu Mingheng buried his face in her slender neck and responded in a hoarse and deep voice, "Okay."

……

It has only been a few hours since we parted.

Gu Mingheng wanted Mingjin to go to bed, but Mingjin couldn't bear to do that. If he saw her once more, it would be one less time. He didn't know when he would see her again.

She just wanted to take advantage of this time to look at him more and talk to him more.

Gu Mingheng didn't force her to go to bed.

He was also reluctant to leave, and he also had something to tell her.

The two of them sat on the bed, hugging each other and talking.

"I went to the Meng family today and asked Mr. Meng to come out of retirement and go to the cabinet."

This Mr. Meng is the former Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Meng Changjing, who is also Zhou Que’s teacher.

This is also the reason why he came back so late today.

Being away on a military expedition, he had no time to take care of affairs in the capital, so naturally he had to arrange everything he could think of first.

As for Yanyan, he would instruct his trusted confidants to look after her, so there was no need to worry about her safety. He would also have to arrange for people to guard the court.

My royal brother has suffered a series of setbacks recently, and his spirit is not as good as before.

Now Song He is dead.

The Imperial Household Department suffered another severe blow.

He was worried that Zheng Qingquan would be the only one holding power in the cabinet, which would lead to internal trouble.

Therefore, he specially discussed with his royal brother, went to the Meng family, and invited Meng Changjing to come out of retirement.

Mr. Meng has many students in his court, and his fame and status are only better than Zheng Qingquan.

With him checking Zheng Qingquan in the court, he doesn't have to worry about Zheng Guy and the Third Brother doing something secretly while he is away on a military expedition.

Mingjin was very happy when he heard that Mr. Meng agreed.

This is a rare piece of good news in recent days, but I didn’t expect that the couple did the same thing in their past and present lives, but the meanings behind them are very different.

"What about Gu Changxuan?"

Mingjin leaned against Gu Mingheng, raised his head and asked about the thing he was most worried about.

"Did His Majesty say when to let him go?"

If Gu Changxuan stayed in the capital, there would be too many hidden dangers. Ming Jin just wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

Although he was not implicated in Song He's death.

But based on Mingjin's understanding of him, there is no way he has no relationship with Song He.

These two must be doing something unknown in private!

I just don't know if Song He's betrayal to the enemy has anything to do with him?

As for his previous life, Gu Changxuan did not have this sign, but he had always disguised himself very well in his previous life, and he was already highly valued at that time, which is very different from the current situation.

"he……"

Gu Mingheng looked at Mingjin and told him what happened in the court today: "He wants to go to the war with me."

"what?"

Ming Jin was stunned.

She looked at Yixian, and there seemed to be some surprise in her eyes, but also not that surprised.

In the previous life, when the Tatars invaded Daqian, Gu Changxuan was also ordered to go on the expedition, but due to the situation in the court at that time, His Majesty could not send many people...

But now Yixian is still here.

Ming Jin had never thought that he would have this plan.

But if you think about it carefully, this plan definitely has more advantages than disadvantages for Gu Changxuan. If he goes to war now, he can openly avoid going to his own fiefdom. If he wins the war in the future, he can also gain a good reputation.

There are already many people in the court who support him as the crown prince.

If he had more military merits, not to mention Nagano, even Prince Ding would probably not be able to compare with him.

This is definitely not a good thing.

But he volunteered to go to the battlefield. This decision was impeccable. Not to mention the court officials, I'm afraid His Majesty wouldn't say anything either...

She knew that this must have been done, otherwise Yixian would not be like this.

Ming Jin pursed her lips and said nothing.

Gu Mingheng knew that she had always had some grudge against Gu Changxuan.

But the fact that he was willing to leave instead of staying in the capital made him feel a lot more at ease.

If he stayed in the capital, he would be truly uneasy.

"Don't worry, it's good for him to go with me. Otherwise, if he stays in the capital, I will still worry about what he will do."

"Now he is right under my nose. If anything happens, I can punish him later."

The imperial edict has been issued.

There is no turning back.

Mingjin naturally knew it, but she was still worried in her heart.

"I'm even more worried when he's with you. You have to be careful and don't be fooled by his appearance."

"You, and the people around you!" She was afraid that something might happen to him, so she frowned and kept giving him instructions.

If she wasn't pregnant now, she would have wanted to go with him, fearing that going would make Yixian worry.

Looking at Gu Changxuan every day.

Only when she really has him under her nose can she feel truly at ease.

Mingjin was very worried.

Therefore, I couldn't help but frown all the time.

She didn't notice it herself until she suddenly felt a warm touch between her eyebrows. Ming Jin blinked, and before she looked up, she felt some force coming from there.

It wasn't too gentle, but not too heavy either, just enough to ease her frayed nerves.

A familiar voice then came into her ears.

"don’t worry."

Ming Jin raised his head following the voice and saw a pair of gentle eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

Dark, silent, yet powerful.

Just look at her quietly at this moment.

"I now know what kind of person he is and I will be on guard against him. Yanyan, don't worry or be afraid."

"Trust me, okay?"

Ming Jin looked at him, and even though he was still worried, he gradually relaxed under his focused and gentle gaze.

She buried herself in his arms again and said yes softly.

Gu Mingheng gently hugged her, stroked her back, and comforted her silently.

time flies.

In almost the blink of an eye, three hours had passed.

It was time for them to separate.

The two of them couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep for a while. When someone outside came to answer their calls, Gu Mingheng knew that he was leaving. Just as he was about to gently let go of Mingjin who had been holding him while he was asleep, he heard a faint, tired voice beside his ear: "Are you leaving?"

Unexpectedly, he woke the person up, so Gu Mingheng had to stop.

"Ah."

As he spoke, he leaned over and gave Mingjin a light kiss on the forehead: "You continue to sleep."

Ming Jin refused, and said to the others, "I'll take you out."
