Gu Mingheng returned to his villa in Yingzhou.
He was originally passing through Yingzhou and had no intention of staying in Yingzhou for a long time, but a month ago, he saw Ming Jin on the street.
At that time, he caught a glimpse of Ming Jin's eyes and the small mole on her nose at the street. He felt familiar with her at first sight. When he looked again, he found that she looked very much like the wife of Marquis Anyuan in the capital.
Then he saw her holding a letter and asking someone to deliver it to the nearest post station, so he quietly sent someone to follow her.
After investigation, it was discovered that she had indeed delivered the letter to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion in the capital, and they became more and more certain that this was the Miss Ming Liu who had been missing from the Anyuan Marquis Mansion for ten years.
For this reason, Gu Mingheng was not in a hurry to return to Beijing.
While he ordered people to set up a house in Yingzhou, he also sent people to inquire about Ming Jin's experiences over the years. At the same time, he was waiting for Anyuan Hou Mansion to send someone to pick up Ming Jin, so that he could protect Ming Jin before the Ming family came.
After a while, he did not wait for the people sent by Anyuan Marquis Mansion, but he found out Mingjin's past over the years in detail.
It was only at this time that he understood why, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find any trace of Ming Liu in the past ten years.
It turned out that she had been sold to Xiu Li Tower in Yangzhou ten years ago.
The Xiu Li Lou specialized in the women's flesh trade, and they kept some pretty girls in captivity from a young age so that they could be sold at a good price when they grew up.
Most people don't know about this place yet.
People who go there for the first time have to be brought there by someone else. I heard that there are many local forces protecting this Xiuli Building.
Gu Mingheng had actually thought of this at the time.
Therefore, he secretly sent people to search the Red Mansion and Chu Mansion in various prefectures, but how could he and his men know about this secret building that even the locals didn't know about?
This Miss Mingliu has been trapped in there for ten years and has never come out. When Gu Mingheng thought of this, his face became very ugly.
The guards who were accompanying him knew why he was angry, so they kept silent and dared not even breathe.
They were afraid that their aura would be too strong and would displease their master.
Gu Mingheng walked over with a gloomy face and ran into Wu Ji who was guarding the house.
Wu Ji, like Qing Xin and Zhuo Qian, is a close attendant of Gu Mingheng. However, over the years, he has not been following Gu Mingheng like Qing and Zhuo. Instead, he was sent out by Gu Mingheng to search for Ming Jin's whereabouts.
It was not until half a month ago that Gu Mingheng confirmed Ming Jin's identity and Wu Ji was called back by a carrier pigeon.
"Your Majesty."
Seeing the handsome and heroic man coming towards him, Wu Ji hurriedly bowed to him. He then glanced at his expression, which was still extremely ugly. Wu Ji looked at Zhuo Qian behind him.
Seeing Zhuo Qian make a gesture, he breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the girl from the Ming family had been taken away by the people from Anyuan Marquis' Mansion.
After waiting for ten years, it finally happened.
But looking at the prince's appearance, he still seems not very happy.
This is also normal.
Anyone who knew what Miss Ming Liu had experienced over the years would not be happy.
She was the apple of the eye of the marquis's family, but ended up in such a place.
He heard that Miss Mingliu was born smart and clever. Not only did Marquis Anyuan and his wife love this daughter the most, but Princess Fuhua also loved this granddaughter very much.
It is said that Princess Fuhua was planning to ask the emperor for permission to grant her precious granddaughter the title of county princess on her 50th birthday.
Unexpectedly, before her birthday and before the imperial decree, the sixth girl disappeared.
And those who serve the prince know best what the prince has been obsessed with for the past ten years.
Ten years ago.
The little girl from the Ming family was six years old, and the prince was only sixteen years old.
At that time, the prince had not yet gone to guard the border and lead the troops to fight. He was just a young man who loved to play, dressed in fine clothes and riding a horse. One day, he rode his horse to the suburbs to hunt as usual. On the way, he met a carriage and saw someone crying in the carriage. The prince thought something was wrong, so he sent someone to stop him and ask.
Inside the carriage was a couple and a little girl whose face could not be seen clearly.
At that time, the prince didn't know that the sixth daughter of the Ming family was missing. He heard from the couple that the child was disobedient and insisted on going back to the capital to buy candied fruits, but the couple were still in a hurry to go home to attend the funeral.
He said nothing, but took off a gold-rimmed purse from his waist.
Gu Mingheng had grown up so much that he naturally wouldn't carry any candies or preserves with him anymore, but it seemed that children all liked new and beautiful things. The bag contained the gold beans that he usually used to reward people. It was a full bag, enough for the child to count along the way.
At that time, he did not have the slightest suspicion towards the "couple".
At that time, Gu Mingheng was unrestrained and casual. Due to his young age and noble status, everything that was exposed to his eyes was the best.
Although he lost his parents at birth, he was brought up by his brother, the emperor.
The current emperor treats him like a brother and a father, and he loves him like that, a love that even his other princes have never experienced.
When he was young, he was named King of Chang'an.
He is young but of a high generation, and everyone in the capital has to flatter and respect him. Who would be willing to show him those dirty things?
Who would dare to tell him such a thing?
How could he have imagined that the "couple" were not a couple at all, but just a pair of human traffickers who came together for business.
And the girl with red eyes and disheveled hair from crying was not their child, but the most beloved granddaughter of his aunt Fuhua.
According to seniority, she has to call him uncle.
But Gu Mingheng hates children the most.
He even disliked the little boys in his emperor brother's family, let alone this kind of girl who was prone to crying.
Naturally, he was not familiar with her.
Although they had met several times before, how could a young man like him hang out with a little girl? At most, they had bumped into each other and said hello, but he didn't have much impression of her.
Gu Mingheng just passed by the carriage at that time.
The couple thanked them and left. Gu Mingheng looked at the little girl in red in the carriage and frowned as he reminded them, "No matter what, the child is still young. Don't beat her easily. Comb her hair properly. It looks so unkempt."
The couple naturally smiled and agreed: "We will comb it right away, right away."
Gu Mingheng was completely unaware that although they were smiling, they were holding a dagger in their hands, pressing it against the little girl's waist.
If she dared to say anything, the dagger would pierce deep into her flesh.
And the pair of eyes filled with tears and reluctance that he saw was not because she was nostalgic for the delicious food in Beijing, but she was silently asking him for help.
At that time, as Gu Mingheng watched the carriage leave, he felt that he had done a great thing. He even planned to go back to the palace to ask for rewards from his brother and sister-in-law and have them praise him.
If he still remembers.
After that, he put the matter behind him, went hunting in the mountains for three days, took a hot spring bath, and then returned to the capital leisurely.
It was only after Gu Mingheng returned that he learned that things had changed in the capital. The legitimate daughter of Marquis Anyuan, the granddaughter of his aunt Fuhua, had disappeared!
Knowing the time of her disappearance and what she was wearing, Gu Mingheng recalled the girl he saw in the carriage in the forest that day, and suddenly he was stunned.
Afterwards, he did not even return to the palace. He rode out of the capital alone and followed the direction in which the carriage had left.
But the world is so vast, how can we find it?
He searched for a month but couldn't find it, and he made himself very embarrassed.
When Zhuo Qian and others found him, he had already used up all his money and was almost kicked out of the restaurant.
Sixteen-year-old Gu Mingheng has enjoyed wealth and honor since childhood. His world was clean and bright, but because of Mingjin's disappearance, it became completely dark.
After returning to the capital, he talked about this incident.
No one blamed him, they all knew it was an accident.
But Gu Mingheng couldn't forgive himself.
He just thought that he could have saved her, but he let go of the human traffickers who kidnapped her.
If he had lifted the car curtain at that time, if he had asked more questions at that time, she would not have been taken away!
He was plagued by guilt.
Since then.
Gu Mingheng's temperament changed.
The young man who used to wear fine clothes, ride a horse, drink and sing, suddenly became calm and reserved. After another year, he volunteered to guard the border.
In the past ten years, he has never given up the pursuit.
Even the people in Anyuan Marquis Mansion gave up the investigation, and even took a fish eye, a person who came from nowhere, and mistook her for Ming Liu, asking her to take away her identity and name... But he still did not give up looking for Ming Liu.
Even though everyone thought she was dead, he still searched for her day after day for ten years.
Finding Mingliu had long become an obsession for him.
Gu Mingheng once thought that he would search like this for the rest of his life until he died.
I didn't expect that this person who had been missing for ten years would suddenly appear like this.
But her past experiences and the current attitude of the Anyuan Marquisate towards her made Gu Mingheng feel particularly heavy.
He didn't know whether it was good or bad for him to send her away like this and let her face everything in Anyuan Marquis' Mansion...
Gu Mingheng couldn't help but pursed his lips.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Yuan Sicheng is here." Wu Ji thought of the people who were still sitting in the room, and hurriedly said something to the man who was striding forward and was obviously still in a bad mood.
When Gu Mingheng heard this, he temporarily calmed down.
"where?"
Gu Mingheng stopped and asked Wu Ji.
Wu Ji was about to answer when a clear male voice came from the front: "This."
