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

"Let's go."

Finish lunch.

Ming Jin took Hua Sui and was escorted by guards, wearing veils and hats, and left the restaurant.

When the carriage was halfway there, Ming Jin suddenly saw through the half-rolled curtain that Yuan Yu was riding away in a hurry.

Yuan Yu moved too quickly and naturally did not notice Ming Jin's carriage.

But Ming Jin looked at the direction he rode away and already knew where he was going.

It seems that the little beggar has delivered the note.

It's sunny outside.

The afternoon sun is actually very nice.

But maybe it’s because we have already entered autumn.

Even though the sun is shining like this, you don’t feel too hot, but instead feel very warm.

Hua Sui was sorting out the things Ming Jin bought.

When I looked up, I saw Mingjin's face, which was shining particularly brightly in the sunlight.

"The master seems to be in a particularly good mood today." She couldn't help but say.

Ming Jin smiled, but did not deny it. He still raised the corners of his lips and said, "Maybe he went out for a walk."

Hua Sui nodded and said in agreement: "We should go out more often, especially in such good weather, we should go out more often to take a walk and have a look."

Mingjin smiled.

The carriage continued to head towards Anyuan Marquis Mansion.

On the other side, Yuan Yu rode his horse towards the palace. Although his official position was not high, his status was special and he could enter the palace even without any instructions.

He dismounted his horse at the palace gate and hurried towards the East Palace.

Yuan Yu walked along the way, calming his breathing to avoid being seen by outsiders. When he arrived at the East Palace, his complexion finally returned to normal.

But he was still very nervous and didn't dare to relax at all.

"Why is the Second Young Master here now?"

Chang Bao, the chief eunuch beside Gu Changze, saw Yuan Yu being led over by other eunuchs from afar. He opened his eyes slightly and showed a hint of surprise.

But when he came to his senses, he immediately went over to greet him respectfully and greeted Yuan Yu respectfully.

When Yuan Yu saw him, he no longer concealed the expression on his face and asked anxiously, "Where's my cousin?"

When Chang Bao saw him like this, his heart skipped a beat.

It was rare to see such an expression on the Second Young Master's face. Chang Bao guessed that something big must have happened.

Don't be lazy.

Chang Bao waved his hand to let the eunuchs leave, and said to Yuan Yu: "The prince is here. He is drinking tea with His Highness in Fengbo Pavilion. I will take you there."

"The prince is here too?" Yuan Yu looked surprised.

With the note still in his arms, Yuan Yu knew that Gu Mingheng didn't like to interfere in the royal family's power struggles, but this matter was urgent.

He knew too well how much his cousin trusted Li Chang.

If this matter is delayed any longer, my cousin's situation will become more dangerous. At worst, let Gu Mingheng leave first.

Yuan Yu thought so in his heart, and he no longer had any intention of retreating. After calming down, he nodded at Chang Bao and said, "Let's go."

Chang Bao quickly agreed and led Yuan Yu towards Fengbo Pavilion.

In Fengbo Pavilion, besides the uncle and nephew Gu Mingheng and Gu Changze, there was also a eunuch and a baby in swaddling clothes.

The youngest son was the eldest son of Crown Prince Gu Changze and the first grandson of the Daqian Emperor.

His mother was the concubine Sun Qi.

Sun Qi lost the favor of the crown prince because of the Sun family incident. Now, his power as the manager of the Eastern Palace has been handed over. Even his son has been sent by the crown prince to be raised by the crown princess Tong Yu.

Today, Gu Changze invited Gu Mingheng to dinner, and he also wanted Gu Mingheng to see his eldest son.

Although Gu Changze is now very annoyed with Sun Qi, he still likes his eldest son very much.

The eunuch who was taking care of the emperor's eldest grandson was standing by, but Gu Changze was holding his eldest son in his arms and talking to Gu Mingheng: "My little uncle should get married soon and have a son. This youngest son is the cutest one I have seen in these years."

Gu Mingheng held his young son's small hand with his big hand.

He really likes children, but being urged to get married by Gu Changze, he can't help but feel helpless: "Now even you are starting to persuade me."

"I'm not urging my uncle to get married. I just want to tell him how interesting this child is."

Gu Changze smiled and said, "I don't know what my uncle's children will look like when they are born."

Gu Changze was indeed very curious.

Gu Mingheng thought about what he said, but he didn't have any big ideas. He didn't know what it would be like when he got married and had children in the future.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside the pavilion.

Gu Mingheng was facing the outside of the pavilion and looked up when he heard the voice.

Seeing Yuan Yu coming, he didn't have any big thoughts.

"Who's coming?"

Gu Changze also looked back.

When he saw Yuan Yu, Gu Changze also laughed: "How come you have time to come here today?"

After saying that, seeing that the expression on Yuan Yu's face was different from usual, and seeing that Chang Bao beside him was the same, Gu Changze gradually restrained the smile on his face.

When the two of them approached, Gu Changze asked, "What's wrong?"

"Cousin, Your Majesty."

Yuan Yu first bowed to the two of them.

But he didn't say anything immediately, but glanced at Gu Mingheng first.

Gu Mingheng knew what Yuan Yu meant, so he said, "Since you have something to do, I'll leave first."

He said and prepared to stand up.

Gu Changze said, "My uncle grew up with me and is someone I respect. There is nothing I cannot tell him."

"Tell me, what happened?"

As Gu Changze spoke, he placed the young son in his hand into the hands of the eunuch beside him.

"You guys step back first."

These words were addressed to Chang Bao and the eunuch who was taking care of the emperor's eldest grandson.

The two of them nodded and left.

Gu Mingheng saw that Gu Changze had a dull expression.

Talking about leaving at this time would ruin the relationship between them. Gu Mingheng was silent for a moment, and finally sat back.

Yuan Yu glanced at Gu Mingheng and thought to himself that he came at an inopportune time today.

But there's nothing we can do now.

He handed the note he had been carrying with him to Gu Changze.

"what?"

Gu Changze reached out to take it, and when he saw the contents of the note, his expression suddenly changed.

He stood up, dumbfounded, and asked, "How is this possible?"

The note reads--

Li Chang is Gu Changxuan's man.

"Who gave it to you?" Gu Changze turned his head and asked Yuan Yu.

Yuan Yu dared not hide it and immediately told Gu Changze what happened in front of his house today.

After listening to this, Gu Changze's expression was still uncertain, but he put the note in his hand on the table.

Gu Mingheng didn't understand what was going on at first, and when he saw the contents of the note, he frowned.

Although he never cared about the power struggles among his nephews, he knew that the brothers had been having a very bad relationship over the years.

Especially Chengqian and Nanfeng.

These two brothers were the ones who made the most noise.

But Yue Qing...

Whether among the brothers or in the mouths of others, they have always been friendly and respectful to each other and have never been involved in these matters.

Gu Mingheng learned about it from his elder brother and Xiaowu.

Every time Cheng Qian and Nan Feng had a big fight, Yue Qing would help to mediate.

It can be said that Yue Qing is the one who cares most about the brothers.

I don't know whether this note is real or not, but if it is true, then his nephew has hidden it so well over the years that he has deceived everyone.

Even someone like Gu Mingheng, who seldom returns to Beijing, knows how important Li Chang is to Cheng Qian.

Although I don't want to get involved in these things.

But looking at Gu Changze who was silent and gloomy at this time, Gu Mingheng was silent for a moment, and still asked: "I remember that when you were ten years old, Li Chang came to your side?"

Gu Mingheng broke the deadlock.

Gu Changze came back to his senses when he heard his voice.

His face was so tense that it was difficult for him to even pull the corners of his mouth, but he didn't want Gu Mingheng to see how turbulent his emotions were at the moment, so Gu Changze's expression looked particularly strange.

"Yes……"

When he spoke, his voice was very stiff and hoarse.

Gu Changze took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down so that he wouldn't look so out of control.

"When I was ten years old, Li Chang passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar. My father appointed him to me and made him my mentor."

"He has always stayed by my side over the years and is the person I trust the most."

After Gu Changze finished speaking, he let out a long sigh and sat back down.

He knew that Gu Mingheng didn't like to get involved in these things, and he didn't ask Gu Mingheng to do anything. Now that his mood had calmed down a little, he smiled again, looked at Gu Mingheng and said, "I made a fool of myself today. I thought we had a good meal and a chat since we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I didn't expect..."

"I know that my uncle doesn't like to participate in these struggles. He just does it without thinking."

Upon hearing this, Gu Mingheng looked at Gu Changze with complicated eyes.

He didn't say anything, but just stood up and walked out. When he reached Gu Changze, he raised his hand and gently patted his shoulder.

"You have always been the one that my brother values ​​the most. No matter what others do, as long as you keep your heart, that position will always be yours."

Gu Changze lowered his eyelids slightly to hide the emotions in his eyes.

When looking up.

He still has that smiling face.

Gu Changze's face, which looked very much like Emperor Zhenguang, was filled with the elegance and grace that only the royal family could possess. He smiled and said to Gu Mingheng, "Don't worry, little uncle. I know."

Gu Mingheng lowered his head and looked at him for a while.

He didn't say anything else and just walked out.

Yuan Yu watched Gu Mingheng leave, then retracted his gaze and looked at Gu Changze: "Cousin..."

"Ji Qing, you did a great job today."

"Whether this is true or not, it's always good for me to be prepared in advance."

Gu Changze smiled and stood up, patting Yuan Yu on the shoulder: "My cousin is busy today, so I won't entertain you. Please send your uncle back first."

"The Japanese Palace will host the dinner again. Please come to the East Palace for dinner."

"……Yes."

Yuan Yu bowed to him, then walked out, looking back every few steps.

Gu Changze waited until they left before sitting back down.

He looked at the contents of the note, sitting in Fengbo Pavilion with a gloomy expression. At this moment, many images flashed through Gu Changze's mind.

When I was ten years old.

Li Chang was led to the Eastern Palace.

He was only in his twenties at the time, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was full of vigor and vitality.

The young scholar with fine eyebrows and handsome eyes was gentle and elegant: "Your Highness, I have been ordered by the Emperor to come to the East Palace to teach Your Highness."

Gu Changze didn't believe Li Chang from the beginning.

How could a royal noble trust others so easily?

But after fourteen years of companionship, Li Chang seemed closer to him than his almighty father.

Thinking about these years.

Every moment he spent with Li Chang.

He has grown up little by little from a child to the young man he is today, while Li Chang has grown from a young man full of vigor and vitality to someone who has become more mature and stable as he manages the affairs of the Eastern Palace for him.

Every time he spoke harshly and wanted to do something, Li Chang would persuade him and calm him down.

He was reserved towards everyone except Li Chang.

He knows all about him.

Knowing his disgust and unwillingness, as well as his plans.

He always felt guilty towards his husband, thinking that with his abilities, he could be the Prime Minister of the Cabinet. He also thought about letting Li Chang join the Cabinet after he ascended the throne.

At that time, their teachers and students will continue to rule a peaceful and prosperous era!

But now someone actually told him that Li Chang was Gu Changxuan's man.

Gu Changze didn't know whether this was true or not.

But due to his suspicious nature, he could not trust Li Chang completely even if he had not found out the truth.

I don’t know how long it took, but a fierce look suddenly flashed across Gu Changze’s graceful and calm face. He picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it hard outside the pavilion.

Gu Changze placed his hands on the stone table.

After a while, Gu Changze took the note, frowned, and stood up and left.

He didn't notice that in a dense bush outside Fengbo Pavilion, there was an eunuch holding a young child.

The eunuch was none other than Dekang, who had been driven away by Gu Changze earlier.

At this moment, he was covering the mouth of the emperor's eldest grandson tightly, his body was trembling and his face was pale. He waited for Gu Changze to leave. After a long time, he ran away with a pale face.
