Princess Fuhua did not meet Ming Yuandu directly, but asked Aunt Cheng to pass on the message.

"The princess said that you can make the decision."

After Aunt Cheng came out, she conveyed Princess Fuhua's intention.

In fact, Princess Fuhua's words were much more impolite. After hearing what Aunt Cheng said, she sneered, and her words were naturally even more impolite. It was just that Aunt Cheng couldn't bear to see them mother and son like this, so she replied to Ming Yuandu in a much more gentle tone.

Ming Yuandu obviously knew that his mother was still angry. After standing outside in silence for a while, he did not insist on going in. He just said to Aunt Cheng, "In that case, I will not go in to bother mother. Aunt Cheng, please take good care of her. If she has anything, please come and tell her in time."

Aunt Cheng will naturally agree.

Ming Yuandu said nothing else. He bowed towards the inner room with a brocade curtain hanging before turning around and leaving.

Cuiwei sent him out.

Aunt Cheng watched him leave and let out a long sigh.

She also didn't understand why the family had become like this.

Mother and son care about each other, but neither wants to see each other.

shook his head.

Aunt Cheng also turned around and went in.

Princess Fuhua was not sleeping in the inner bedroom, but in the small Buddhist hall in the side room. When Aunt Cheng entered, she was still kneeling on the cushion, holding Buddhist beads in her hands and muttering Buddhist scriptures.

Aunt Cheng didn't dare to disturb them and just stood by quietly.

It was not until Princess Fuhua stopped turning the Buddhist beads and opened her eyes that Aunt Cheng dared to step forward, bent down and helped her up.

"gone?"

Princess Fuhua asked calmly.

Aunt Cheng nodded and said to Princess Fuhua, "Before the Marquis left, he told us to take good care of you and to tell him if anything happened."

She wanted to ease the relationship between mother and son.

Princess Fuhua didn't buy it. She sneered, "How much can he care about my body? If he really cared, why would he come to tell me such a thing? If he does this, where does he put me and Yanyan? Fortunately, Yanyan is not at home now, otherwise..."

When she thought of this, she felt heartbroken and resentful.

"The eldest princess..."

Aunt Cheng didn’t know how to persuade them, she could only whisper to them to calm down and not to ruin their health.

Princess Fuhua waved her hand and was too lazy to say anything.

Let him be...

As long as he doesn't go too far and because of her old face, His Majesty will never really touch the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion.

Preserving the Ming family's foundation and glory is the only thing she can do now.

But Anyuan Marquisate wanted to take it to the next level——

That's her. Now she is powerless and doesn't want to help anymore.

The higher she climbs, the more she sees, and the more thoughts she has. It is better to be like this. She does not seek fame and fortune, but only wants her family to be safe.

"After we have arranged the marriages for our brothers and sisters, let's go to a temple to practice meditation."

"Let's not look for someone far away. Yanyan is still in the capital, so we can meet each other anytime."

Aunt Cheng is the old lady who follows her.

From the palace to the marquis's mansion, after decades of companionship, she knew that the eldest princess was really hurt by the marquis this time and didn't want to stay in this house any longer.

It's okay to leave.

She smiled and nodded: "Okay, anyway, wherever you go, this old slave will accompany you."

……

A military camp located in the suburbs of Beijing.

After leaving the Princess's Mansion that day, Gu Mingheng moved to the military camp the next day.

During this period, many new soldiers have entered various military camps.

Gu Mingheng had nothing to do at home and was afraid of running into Mingjin, fearing that she would see his ugly thoughts. Gu Mingheng could only stay away from him and immerse himself in training. When a person is tired, he will not think about trivial things.

This approach is still very effective.

But when the night was quiet, Gu Mingheng still couldn't help but think of Mingjin.

The thoughts that were previously unknown are now revealed.

Whenever he thought of Mingjin, he would hate himself a little more.

this day.

He had just finished training his soldiers and returned to his tent when Wu Ji arrived.

This time when he came to the military camp, he did not bring Wu Ji and the others with him, but left them in the mansion so that they could know any news in time.

Although now I am thinking of staying away from Mingjin.

But he certainly couldn't ignore her safety, so he still let Wu Ji and the others watch over her.

"Your Majesty."

Wu Ji had just sat down and taken a sip of tea when he heard some noise. He turned around and saw Gu Mingheng coming in. He quickly stood up and greeted him.

Gu Mingheng frowned when he saw him.

Subconsciously thinking that Mingjin was in trouble, he couldn't help but speed up his tone and asked in a deep voice: "What happened to her?"

Wu Ji was stunned by the question.

After realizing who his master was talking about, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the princess is fine."

Gu Mingheng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing him say this.

His anxious mood was relaxed again. He asked the people to sit down, and he went to the shelf to wash his face and hands. When he sat down on the stool behind the counter, he asked Wu Ji, "Then why did you come here today?"

Wu Ji then told him the purpose of his visit.

"Marquis Anyuan was demoted."

He told Gu Mingheng everything that had happened in the court in the past few days.

When Gu Mingheng heard about the bribery, he frowned: "Was this also Yuan Yu's idea?"

He asked Wu Ji.

Although he wanted to punish Ming Yuandu and make him behave himself, he never intended to really let Ming Yuandu get into trouble.

Bribery is no different than anything else.

Whether it was him or his royal brother, what they hated most was people who accepted bribes.

Wu Ji said hurriedly, "No, Lord Yuan was also shocked when he heard someone say that in the court that day. He checked privately and found that the censor must be someone else's man. He probably was also unhappy with Marquis Anyuan, so he wanted to fish in troubled waters and impeach Marquis Anyuan."

"Fortunately, this is not true, otherwise Marquis Anyuan would not just be demoted to a doctor this time."

Wu Ji breathed a sigh of relief when he said this.

Since it was not true, Gu Mingheng didn't care.

He also poured himself a cup of tea and said as he drank, "The Jiabu is not the main department, and Minister Yuan has been unhappy with him for a long time. In the future, Ming Yuandu will be suppressed and will be more obedient. I hope he can behave properly in the future."

"I think he can't keep quiet." Wu Ji curled his lips.

Seeing Gu Mingheng frowning and looking at him with his eyes to ask what was going on, Wu Ji told the others what he had learned earlier: "On the way here just now, I saw the carriage of the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion. After asking around, I learned that they were ordered by the Marquis of Anyuan to pick up that person at the manor."

There was no need to guess who that person was, Gu Mingheng's face immediately darkened.

He first asked: "Does Mingjin know?"

Wu Ji shook his head: "I don't know about this, I don't think I know yet, the princess has been very busy recently."

He also told people about Mingjin's discussion with the Ministry of Revenue on resettling the refugees and their plan to open a Tzu Chi Hall.

"When I went out today, the princess also went out. I heard that she was invited by Chen Dianli from the Ministry of Revenue to visit the refugees."

When Wu Ji talked about Ming Jin, his words were full of admiration and praise.

Although the princess had been in trouble and experienced hardships, she always maintained such an innocent heart, without sadness or resentment, and now she can do her best to help those who are in distress.

It is not an exaggeration to say that such a woman is a remarkable one.

But the more he thought about the princess's goodness, the more he hated her family's despicable behavior.

It is so foolish to ignore such a treasure and mistake a fake one for a treasure!

I don’t know if good things come from bad things, but the princess’s parents are bastards who always put their own interests above everything else, while the princess is a living Bodhisattva who saves people from danger.

He also felt that the Ming family was really confused.

If they could treat the princess well, with her character and abilities, the Anyuan Marquis Mansion would have been able to move to a higher level in the future. Why has it fallen to the point where it has to rely on that marriage to plan its own future?

confused.

It's so confusing.

When Gu Mingheng heard Wu Ji say this, he felt half depressed and distressed, and half comforted and admired.

He felt sorry for Mingjin.

I was worried about her confused family and that she would be sad after knowing about this.

But he also admired her.

He gave her those things in the hope that she could have a good life in the future and to make up for the suffering she had endured over the years. However, she did not indulge in pleasure, but instead gave back what she had to the people.

Such a person, such a woman, made him...

Gu Mingheng tightly gripped the teacup and lowered his eyes.

He sighed silently, and when he spoke again, his tone was the same as before. He told Wu Ji: "Go and help watch over her, don't let her suffer any loss."

Wu Ji naturally responded with a smile.

Then he asked Gu Mingheng, "When are you going back? Eunuch An has been complaining about you lately, worried that you are not eating well or sleeping well here."

"When the princess met me today, she also asked about you."

After hearing what he said, Gu Mingheng tightened his grip on the teacup again. He was silent for a while before saying, "Let's wait and see. The training for the new soldiers hasn't ended yet, and I can't leave for the time being."

He himself has not made up his mind yet, so how could he dare to go back to see her?

I just hope that he can sort out his thoughts as soon as possible and get along with her like before, then he will dare to go back.

When Wu Ji heard him say this, he didn't think much about it.

"By the way, when I came in just now, I saw the eighth young master of the Ming family. Was he also assigned here?"

He was talking about Ming Jingrang.

Gu Mingheng nodded slightly. He only knew about this after entering the military camp.

However, Ming Jingrang used the alias Zhou Rang, and other people did not know his identity. Since he was hiding something, no one would have the time to expose him.

To him, these people were recruits, and nothing more than recruits.

He would not deliberately treat him harshly because of what he had done, but he would not exalt or protect him because of his identity either.

Since he has chosen this path, he has to bear all the consequences, whether good or bad.

It's his own choice.

People must bear all unknown consequences for their choices.
