Outside Chaotian Palace.

Gu Mingheng was still sitting in a herbal tea stall.

Some time had passed, and pilgrims came and went, but Ming Jin never came out.

Gu Mingheng was a little worried.

Although he knew that nothing would happen to her with Qing Xin and Wu Ji around, he was still a little worried.

Gu Mingheng suddenly put down the herbal tea in his hand and stood up.

Zhuo Qian was drinking herbal tea. When he heard the noise, he quickly looked up.

"Master?" He also stood up.

"What are you..."

"I'll go and take a look." Gu Mingheng couldn't sit still anymore and planned to go to Chaotian Palace himself to find out what was going on.

When Zhuo Qian heard this, he didn't say much. He just put down the money for the herbal tea and planned to follow his master out.

But before the master and servant left the herbal tea stall, they saw a familiar group of people coming out of Chaotian Palace.

Two women wearing veiled hats and a maid in green clothes.

When Gu Mingheng saw the woman in brocade clothes, he first breathed a sigh of relief. He stopped and did not move forward for fear of being discovered.

But soon, when he saw them clearly, he frowned again.

Why is there one more person?

The woman was wearing the most ordinary cloth clothes and a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly. She was being helped into the carriage by Ming Jin and the maid in green.

"Huh? Why is there one more person?"

Zhuo Qian obviously saw it as well and felt strange.

Gu Mingheng frowned. Seeing that the carriage was about to leave and Qing Xin was about to follow, he walked to his mount and said in a deep voice, "Let's follow and see first."

As he spoke, he clamped his legs against the horse's belly.

The black horse with shiny black hair under his crotch immediately raised its limbs and followed the carriage.

Zhuo Qian did not dare to delay and quickly mounted his horse and followed.

Gu Mingheng quickly arrived at Qingxin's place.

"what happened?"

A deep male voice sounded in Qing Xin's ears. Qing Xin turned around immediately and found that his master had come over without him noticing.

"master!"

Qing Xin hurriedly bowed to others.

But Gu Mingheng was concerned about the carriage ahead and ignored his greetings. He just asked in a deep voice, "Who is that person?"

Qing Xin certainly knew what his master was asking.

But he hadn't investigated the matter clearly yet. After hearing these words, he could only tell his master what he knew: "I don't know who this person is either. Just now, this girl was almost kidnapped, and it was the girl who showed up and saved her."

Gu Mingheng frowned when he heard this.

Although he was wearing a veil with his face hidden underneath, Qing Xin had followed him since childhood, so how could he not feel that his expression must be ugly at the moment.

He hurriedly said, "I will go back and investigate this matter and this woman thoroughly. I will definitely not leave any hidden dangers around the girl."

Gu Mingheng didn't say much, just asked again: "Where is Wu Ji?"

Qing Xin replied: "Wu Ji stayed behind to investigate the identities of those two people."

Gu Mingheng didn't say anything else.

He followed the carriage in front not too far away. There were many people on the road. The capital was vast and rich in resources, and even foreigners were not uncommon.

Although they were wearing veils and looked special, they were not noticeable.

Many people just took a look and then looked away.

And at this time in the carriage.

Chunyu poured a cup of tea for Mingjin and Huasui respectively.

Ming Jin personally held a handkerchief and wiped the wound on Hua Sui's face.

She had already taken off the veil on her head.

Hua Sui was shocked by her beauty when he suddenly saw the woman in front of him coming with a handkerchief, as if she was going to wipe her wound.

She looked slightly stunned.

When she realized what was happening, she immediately stammered, "I, I can do it myself."

As she spoke, she quickly took the handkerchief from Mingjin's hand and wiped the corner of her mouth, but she was panicked and didn't pay attention for a moment. She used too much force and made the injured corner of her mouth even more painful.

Hua Sui endured the pain, but still couldn't help but let out a soft hiss.

When Mingjin saw this, his expression also changed.

She quickly told people, "Be careful."

Chun Yu, who witnessed all this, looked at her own girl and then at the injured woman. She had already guessed something in her mind, so she looked at Hua Suixian and said, "Let me wipe it for the girl. There is no mirror here, and you can't see it, so as not to break the wound."

When Hua Sui heard this, she still looked hesitant. She was not used to accepting such kindness.

But the two of them were looking at her, especially the beautiful noblewoman, as if she would do it herself if she didn't agree.

Hua Sui hesitated for a moment, but finally let go.

"Thank you, young lady." She shouted to Chunyu, and then said to Mingjin, "...Thank you, my dear."

Ming Jin didn't say anything, still looking at the wound on her face with a grim expression.

Chun Yu smiled and said, "It should be."

After she finished speaking, she took the handkerchief from Hua Sui's hand with a smile and carefully wiped the wound.

There was no ointment in the car, so I could only wipe it briefly first.

When wiping at a close distance, the wound on Hua Sui's face looked even more shocking. It was the first time Chun Yu had seen such a wound, and he couldn't help but frown and said, "Who are those two? They are too much!"

She looked indignant.

She arrived late and didn't know what had happened to Hua Sui.

Hua Sui lowered his eyes when he heard this.

She bit her red lips tightly, and her face turned gray again.

The previous events still lingered in her mind like a nightmare, but they finally brought her back to her senses and enabled her to remember who she had offended.

"Miss, please find a place to put me down." She was afraid of disturbing this noble man.

That family is well-known and it is easier for them to step on someone to death than to step on an ant.

She was already in this state, and she really didn't want to hurt this kind-hearted girl any further. She was lucky to be able to leave there, but she shouldn't stay any longer.

It’s better to find a place to stop and leave the capital before those people notice us.

But she had no guide and didn't know if she could escape.

Also, the money she had saved over the years was still in the old place. If she went back, she didn't know if there was anyone watching over it.

But if she doesn't go, how will she survive in the future?

She was worried, wondering what she should do in the future.

"You come back with me."

Suddenly, I heard these words.

Hua Sui almost thought she had misheard. She raised her head and looked at the beautiful woman opposite her. After a while, she looked at her and said hesitantly, "Are you talking to me?"

Mingjin nodded softly.

Just as Hua Sui was about to refuse, Chun Yu grabbed her arm and said, "Miss Hua Sui, please follow our lady back to the mansion."

"How do you know my name?"

Compared to the previous words, the address from the woman next to her shocked Hua Sui even more. She looked at the woman next to her with disbelief.

His eyes widened in shock.

Chunyu smiled and said to Huasui, "Our girl knows your good sister." Then she told Huasui what Mingjin had said to her before.

After hearing this, Hua Sui was even more shocked.

But this time her eyes were looking at Ming Jin: "Do you know Sister Rong?"

The Sister Rong she mentioned is Ye Rong.

Ming Jin looked at the excitement in her eyes, pursed his lips silently, and then nodded.

This answer surprised and delighted Hua Sui. If it weren't for the difference in their status, she would have grabbed Ming Jin's arm to get to the bottom of things.

"Where is she now? Is she okay?" Hua Sui suppressed his excitement and asked Ming Jin with burning eyes.

Ming Jin naturally couldn't tell her the truth.

In her current condition, if she knew that her good friend had been tortured to death long ago, she probably wouldn't be able to get through it.

"I only met her once. When I first met her, she looked pretty good."

Ming Jin still lied to others: "It's just that the situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't leave any contact information with her, and I don't know where she is going."

“…Ah, I see.”

The excitement on Hua Sui's face suddenly turned pale again.

She sat back down again.

The gap after the great joy is too great.

Ming Jin couldn't bear to see her like this, so he could only tell another white lie: "She entrusted you to me. Who knows, maybe she'll have the chance to come to the capital in the future, and then you sisters can be reunited."

When Hua Sui heard this, his depressed eyes began to brighten up again.

But it was only a moment, and she immediately shook her head, looked at Ming Jin and said firmly: "The young lady has done me a favor, but because of this, I must not cause trouble for her."

Mingjin knew she was talking about the two people just now.

"You don't have to worry. Those people dare not do anything to me."

Chun Yu thought the two were just hooligans, and laughed along, "Miss Hua Sui, just relax. Our girl is awesome."

She was just about to introduce herself.

Hua Sui remained silent and shook his head, saying, "Miss, you don't know, those two are servants of the Sun family."

"Sun family?"

Ming Jin didn't know who she was talking about for a moment, but Chun Yu's face changed slightly, and suddenly he looked at Hua Sui and asked, "Is it the family of Lord Sun, the Right Minister?"

Under her gaze, Hua Sui nodded with difficulty.

When Chunyu saw her nod, his expression gradually became ugly.

She didn't say anything for a while, until she saw Ming Jin frowning, thinking that she didn't know who this person was, she hurriedly said to her, "Miss, this Lord Sun's daughter is the prince's concubine. That concubine Sun gave birth to a boy a few years ago, and is very valued by the prince."

If it is really this Sun family...

This Hua Sui girl is hard to help.

Although the Sun family was not worth anything, who let them have a prince's concubine? Especially this prince's concubine had a son.

If the prince ascends the throne in the future, won't the Sun family also rise rapidly?

The Crown Princess was not valued to begin with, and Concubine Sun has a son. If Concubine Sun's son becomes the Crown Prince... then the Sun family will be the real father-in-law of the emperor!

Thinking of this, Chunyu was so scared that he couldn't help but shiver.

"I am very grateful to you, young lady, but you really don't have to offend the Sun family for me." Hua Sui brought up the past, "I will find a place to hide. The capital is so big, as long as I hide well enough, the Sun family will not be able to do anything to me."

Fortunately, the girl covered her face the whole time today and was not seen by the two servants.

Otherwise, she would be committing a serious sin.

She thought that since she had explained it so clearly, the nobleman would definitely not say anything else, and she was already prepared to get off the car at any time.

But what I heard was still one sentence——

"Need not."

Hua Sui opened his eyes wide.

The spring rain frowned slightly.

She opened her mouth to say something, but stopped when she thought of the girl's temper.

"Just stay by my side. Since I said I would protect you, I won't let anyone bully you." Ming Jin looked at Hua Sui and said.

This sentence is too heavy.

No one had ever said such words to Hua Sui, and she was stunned for a moment as she looked at Ming Jin.

Mingjin naturally knew who Sun was.

But don't say that she already knew the fate of the prince and Sun. Even if nothing happened to them in the future, she would never abandon Hua Sui.

"I'm short of people around me, so you'll stay with me from now on."

Without waiting for Hua Sui to refuse, she looked at her, smiled and quoted Chun Yu's words just now, and made a joke: "Don't worry, I'm also very good."

The carriage continued to move towards Anyuan Marquis Mansion.

Although Hua Sui was still feeling uneasy, he finally shut up under the gaze of the noble lady opposite him.

Apart from Sister Rong, no one had ever been so nice to her. Even if it was only for a moment, she wanted to linger a little longer.

The weather is calm and sunny.

The car curtains fluttered gently in the wind outside.

Ming Jin was sitting against the carriage. When the curtain was lifted, she saw several tall figures wearing veiled hats behind her.

Among them was a man wearing a black suit with gold trim.

There were so many people on the street, but Ming Jin felt that the man was looking at her. But when she frowned and looked over with an inquiring look, she saw the man suddenly tighten the reins in his hands, stopped and turned around.

Seeing this, Ming Jin didn't think much about it. After the car curtain fell, she withdrew her gaze.
