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

The two servants answered softly.

One of them continued to wait outside and wanted to ask Gu Mingheng to go in and rest first, but was rejected by Gu Mingheng.

The other one went in to pass the message.

The first person the servant saw was Shen Daqing.

He is now the steward of the Princess's Mansion, in charge of all matters big and small in the Mansion.

Hearing that the King of Chang'an had come, he was so shocked that his eyes widened: "Who did you say was coming?"

When the servant answered again, he immediately scolded: "You are confused. That person has come, and you let him wait outside? Why don't you invite him in quickly!"

As he said this, he was going to invite someone himself.

The servant hurriedly replied, "It was the prince who wanted to wait outside. He only asked us to tell him that the princess didn't want to see him and asked her to have a good rest."

Shen Daqing's brain raced.

Thinking that the prince must be concerned about the difference between men and women, and that it was night and it would not be good to be seen by others, she stopped in time.

"I'm going to see the princess."

After saying that, Shen Daqing turned around and walked inside.

However, Shen Daqing did not see Ming Jin.

Mingjin has already fallen asleep.

As soon as she came back today, after the house was almost cleaned, she couldn't hold on and fell asleep without even having dinner.

The people below knew that she was in a bad mood and did not dare to disturb her easily. They just let her rest in the room as she wished.

There are always people in the left and right kitchens.

Whenever she felt hungry, there was always food waiting for her.

——It was Shen Daqing that Aunt Pei met.

Knowing that Gu Mingheng had come, Aunt Pei was also a little surprised. She wanted to ask Shen Daqing to go directly and tell Prince Chang'an that the princess had already gone to bed.

But considering the prince's concern for the princess.

He came here specially at this time, I think he must have guessed something.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here at this time.

Aunt Pei hesitated for a moment, and finally said to the others: "Forget it, I'll go and reply to him."

After she finished speaking, she instructed Hua Sui and the others to keep a good eye on the princess, and then she glanced at the inner room.

In the candlelit room, the girl was sleeping soundly, unaware of what was happening outside.

Aunt Pei felt sad when she saw this, and she quietly lowered the brocade curtain, then turned around and walked out with light steps.

A quarter of an hour later.

Aunt Pei met Gu Mingheng.

Gu Mingheng had already gotten off the horse by now. He was still waiting outside and had not gone in.

Zhuo Qian and Wu Ji stood behind him.

Knowing that the prince was in a bad mood at the moment, they did not dare to speak rashly.

"Your Highness, someone is coming out." Wu Ji had sharp eyes and was the first to see the person coming out. He replied to Gu Mingheng.

Gu Mingheng looked in the direction of the sound.

From a distance, I saw a woman coming out.

Glancing at her face, he found a sense of familiarity in his old memories, and remembering what Eunuch An had said before, he knew that this person should be Ming Jin's wet nurse, Aunt Pei.

They've met before.

But after all, so many years have passed, and his appearance has not completely changed.

It took Gu Mingheng a while to recognize her.

Before Aunt Pei came over, she greeted him.

Gu Mingheng walked over first and asked the woman who had come up to him, "Aunt Pei, how is she...?"

Zhuo Qian and Wu Ji also followed over.

This was the first time Aunt Pei met Gu Mingheng in all these years.

The handsome and noble boy in my memory has long since grown into a tall and steady adult man with broad shoulders, which makes people feel very safe at first glance.

His facial features are still handsome, even more attractive than when he was young, but his sharp jawline reveals the firmness that only a mature man has.

Just now.

The calm and handsome man had an expression of concern that he couldn't hide on his face.

Aunt Pei felt a little warm in her heart.

Just thinking that even outsiders were so concerned about the princess's health and mood, but the princess's family members... she couldn't help but feel a little cold in her heart.

No words were spoken at first.

As usual, she greeted Gu Mingheng first, called him "Prince", and then replied to Gu Mingheng: "The princess is fine, just a little tired. She didn't have dinner tonight and went to bed first."

"I will tell the princess about your visit when she wakes up."

After hearing her say this, Gu Mingheng couldn't tell whether Mingjin was being good or bad.

"what happened?"

Although he had already asked someone to inquire, Gu Mingheng still couldn't help but ask first.

"Why did she come here suddenly? Did someone from the Ming family... bully her?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Pei wanted to ask the prince to make the decision for their princess.

Whenever she thought about how the princess suddenly came back with people today, and what happened after she learned from the maids, she felt extremely angry.

But thinking of the princess's gloomy look and her unwillingness to talk when she came today, Aunt Pei finally remained silent.

She lowered her head and said, "You should ask the princess about this matter. Without the princess's order, I can't say anything."

Knowing that he couldn't find out the details of the matter from her, Gu Mingheng didn't ask any more questions.

After he calmed down, he said to Aunt Pei, "Then please take good care of her. If there is anything, send someone to the palace to tell her."

After Gu Mingheng finished speaking, he added: "Anytime is fine."

Aunt Pei replied, "Okay, I'll remember that."

Gu Mingheng said nothing more.

He glanced behind her again, then looked away and left.

The master and his two servants rode their horses away.

Aunt Pei looked at Gu Mingheng's leaving figure for a long time before she sighed, turned around and left.

……

Return to the palace.

Qing Xin hadn't come back yet, but Yuan Yu came with a wine jug and a roast chicken.

He had just returned from the Dali Temple and was still wearing his official uniform.

He had been running to the palace whenever he had nothing to do recently, and most of the time he stayed directly at Gu Mingheng's place, almost treating the palace as half his home. When he saw Gu Mingheng riding over, he shouted, "You've come just in time. I bought some roast chicken and wine. Let's have a nice drink tonight."

After saying this, he saw Gu Mingheng's ugly face and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Glancing behind him, he saw that Zhuo Qian and Wu Ji's faces also looked unhappy. His heart sank and he put away the smile on his face.

While saying: "What happened?"

As if he found it strange, he frowned and asked, "Why did you come from there? Didn't you go out of town today?"

Gu Mingheng didn't say anything. He was in a bad mood at the moment.

Yuan Yu, however, looked at his expression and the direction he was coming from, and thought of something, so he whispered, "Did something happen to the princess?"

Gu Mingheng said in a deep voice: "I don't know."

He also didn't know what happened to her.

After getting off the horse, Gu Mingheng walked straight inside and asked the doorman as he walked, "Is Qingxin back?"

Although I don’t know exactly what happened.

But seeing the prince's expression, the servants at the gate also became a little nervous.

"Not yet."

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

Yuan Yu also knew his friend's weak spot, so he did not step forward to disturb him at this time. Instead, he slowed down his pace and looked at Wu Ji.

Wu Ji lowered his voice and said to Yuan Yu: "The princess moved all her luggage and belongings to the princess's mansion today."

Yuan Yu was surprised.

It has been so long since the Princess's Mansion was bestowed, but there has been no movement from Princess Changle.

Today, large and small boxes suddenly arrived, obviously something happened.

No wonder Gu Mingheng looks like this.

There’s no way to guess anything now, we can only wait for Qing Xin to come back.

Yuan Yu thought so and said nothing more. He picked up his things and followed Gu Mingheng inside.
