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

In order to prevent people outside from making random guesses, Gu Mingheng wiped the blood off his face before leaving. Only the area on his forehead that was scratched by the teacup could not be concealed.

Fortunately, not many people in this palace dared to look him in the eye.

Listening to Zhongning's consolation and his brother's angry reprimand from the inner hall behind him, Gu Mingheng sighed, knowing that he had really angered his brother this time...

It's funny to say.

Nine years ago, it was because of Ming Jin that he wanted to leave the capital and go to the border to atone for his sins.

My brother had the same temper that time.

They beat him severely with a cane and put him in solitary confinement.

I didn’t expect that this time it was still because of Mingjin.

It turns out that their destinies had been linked together ten years ago.

Gu Mingheng looked at the sky outside with a smile. It was covered with dark clouds and looked like it was going to rain.

But he was in a relaxed mood.

This was the most relaxing day he had had in the past month.

He took a deep breath.

He didn't know whether his decision was right or not.

But now that things have come to this, rather than regretting it in the end and hurting others and ourselves, it is better to cut off my brother's thoughts now, so that those women can return home earlier and not be delayed by him in vain.

As for Mingjin, he would never let her know.

She just wants to be happy as Princess Changle.

Gu Mingheng didn't think any more and walked out in silence.

"gone?"

In the inner hall, Emperor Zhenguang, who was finally persuaded by Zhongning to sit back on the Arhat bed, asked this question.

Zhongning looked outside, then turned back, nodded, and whispered, "Let's go."

"This bastard!"

Emperor Zhenguang couldn't help but curse.

After a while, Emperor Zhenguang said in a deep voice: "Send someone to check who he usually interacts closely with!" He wanted to see which bastard had led his beloved brother astray!

Zhongning naturally didn't dare to say no, and quickly nodded in agreement.

But thinking of the prince's insistence just now, he hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, if you find out..."

Emperor Zhenguang knew what he was going to say, and his face suddenly darkened.

According to his idea, he would naturally have to secretly deal with the person who led his brother astray.

The royal family cannot tolerate such a scandal.

If Gu Mingheng were any of his sons, he would do the same.

But the person he had to face was his stubborn brother who would never look back once he made a decision. Emperor Zhenguang felt like he had a terrible headache.

"Check first and then talk."

He was also afraid of Yixian. If he was really angry with him, he would not dare to do it to the point where it was irreversible.

Zhongning felt relieved when he heard him say this.

"What about the Queen..." He thought of something and asked quietly.

Originally, the Queen Mother had planned today to let the Prince and the two girls meet first. If a decision could be made, the Qianqiu Banquet would be the perfect time to issue an imperial decree directly, which could be considered a double blessing.

But such a thing happened now.

Emperor Zhenguang was silent: "...you should go and talk to the Queen privately and put this matter aside for the time being."

He wanted to just wave his hand and settle the matter, but his brother had even spoken out the words of a widow, and Emperor Zhenguang was afraid that he would push him too far and make him confused, so he had to put the matter on hold for the time being.

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

Emperor Zhenguang couldn't help but curse him as a bastard.

But no matter how angry he was, there was nothing he could do. Could he really beat his brother to death?

"Except for the Queen, don't reveal anything to anyone else for now." When Emperor Zhenguang waited for Zhongning to respond and leave, he gave this instruction in a deep voice.

He couldn't let people talk about Yixian and ruin his reputation.

Zhongning knew the pros and cons of this, so he nodded quickly.

"I'll spare you the trouble. When we go back outside, I'll tell them to keep their mouths shut and won't let anyone know."

Emperor Zhenguang nodded tiredly and said, "You go first."

Zhongning then responded and went to work.

……

Weiyang Palace.

Queen Yuan smiled and talked to Lu Jianchun and Zhao Dangge.

Lu Jianchun is eighteen years old this year. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so he looks very energetic. He speaks quickly and straightforwardly.

Zhao Dangge is twenty years old this year. She is gentle and polite, and looks like a lady from a prominent family.

The more Empress Yuan looked at these two people, the more she liked them. She felt that no matter which one Yixian chose, it would be fine.

Both she and His Majesty are satisfied.

She was waiting for the emperor's order so that she could have someone take the two girls to the Imperial Garden for a walk and let Yixian see which one he liked more so that they could arrange this matter as soon as possible.

Watching Guan Qing come in.

Empress Yuan originally thought that there was news from His Majesty and was about to speak with a smile, but she noticed that Guan Qing's face looked a little unhappy.

Empress Yuan's heart sank, but she didn't show any expression. She just smiled and said to the two of them, "You guys sit down first. I have some things to take care of."

Naturally, the two of them had no objections and stood up to respectfully see Queen Yuan off.

Queen Yuan took Guan Qing to the next door.

After hearing what Guan Qing said, Empress Yuan was surprised: "This..."

Guan Qing sighed, "His Majesty was very angry. I heard that the prince has gone to the imperial mausoleum to reflect on the past. However, the prince is determined and His Majesty is afraid that something will really happen, so he asked you to suppress this matter for the time being and wait and see."

This is not a big problem.

Originally, we said we would see each other first, and there was no intention to decide immediately. In the end, I still considered Yixian's opinion.

But Empress Yuan never expected that when things had come to this point, such a problem would arise at this juncture.

"I've never heard that Yixian has this problem before..." Queen Yuan was also worried.

She watched Yixian grow up.

The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and to her, Yixian is half her child.

I don’t know what happened to Yixian, as he is fine.

Empress Yuan sighed and said, "Go and tell Zhongning that Yixian went there with an injury. There are no servants or doctors at the imperial mausoleum. Let someone from the palace take the medicine. His Majesty is angry now. Even if he wants to, he can't lose face. But Yixian is his most beloved brother. If something really happens, His Majesty will regret it in the end."

Guan Qing agreed and withdrew.

Empress Yuan composed herself and then left.

"Miss."

When Zhao and Lu saw Queen Yuan coming out, they hurriedly stood up.

Queen Yuan smiled at them and said, "You have traveled all the way and must have worked hard. I have prepared a palace for you. You can go down and rest first."

This is different from what the two had originally thought.

But when the superior speaks, the inferiors naturally have no choice but to obey. Although the two were confused in their hearts, they still responded respectfully.

Empress Yuan asked someone to send them out to rest.

Zhao and Lu said goodbye again before leaving with the others.

On the road.

Lu Jianchun, who was wearing red, whispered to Zhao Dange, who was wearing green, "I think something has happened."

Zhao Dange also felt it.

However, she did not dare to comment on what exactly happened, but she guessed in her heart that it was probably related to the King of Chang'an.

"But it's better not to meet. I don't want to marry Prince Chang'an at all. There's an eight-year age difference between us. It's my father who keeps saying how good Prince Chang'an is and insists on asking me to come over. It's so annoying." Lu Jianchun was a straightforward person. He didn't care that it was his first time meeting Zhao Dangge, and he lowered his voice and complained to her.

She did this in the hope that Miss Zhao would understand.

She had no intention of competing with her at all, and even hoped that she could get engaged to the Prince of Chang'an, so that she could escape the disaster.

She doesn't want to get married yet.

Thinking of this, Lu Jianchun began to tell others the good things he had heard about King Chang'an.

"But I still admire Prince Chang'an very much. I heard that he went to the battlefield at the age of seventeen and he is also very handsome... But I just admire him and don't want to be with him." She spoke haltingly, her eyes always looking at Zhao Dange, as if hoping others could understand.

How could Zhao Dange not know what she was thinking?

She looked at Lu Jianchun with amusement and said in a low voice, "Your Highness is a man of great stature and talent, and a leader in his field. How can it be our turn to judge? We will know the details later."

Hearing her say this, Lu Jianchun lowered his head in frustration: "How annoying."

She didn't want to be picked.

She is not a cabbage!

Zhao Dange smiled. She didn't want to be chosen, but there were some things that were not their turn to decide.

In that family environment, she has to protect her younger brother. If she could marry the King of Chang'an, it would not be a bad thing.

At least with the protection of King Chang'an, I don't have to worry about my second uncle and third uncle having other intentions in the future.

But this is the situation now.

We can only accept the situation as it comes.

……

Few people in the capital knew that Gu Mingheng went to the imperial mausoleum.

Even if the people in the palace knew about this, they didn't understand why their prince was suddenly punished by His Majesty and made to kneel in the imperial mausoleum.

this day.

When the people in the palace heard the news, they naturally did not dare to neglect it.

Eunuch An wiped his tears and packed a bag of clothes, medicine, and food, and asked Wu Ji to take them to the imperial mausoleum for the prince.

Wu Ji did not dare to neglect it.

He took his things, put on his hat, and rode out in the rain.

When Ming Jin was riding in a carriage back to Huangqin Street, she happened to see Wu Ji coming out of the alley. As they were far away and it was raining heavily, Wu Ji did not see her and rode away in the rain.

"Isn't that Guard Wu? It's raining heavily, where is he going?" Hua Sui also saw Wu Ji leaving, and she looked curious.

Mingjin naturally didn't know either.

"Is the prince back?" she suddenly asked Hua Sui.

"I don't know either. How about I ask the people in the palace when I go back?"

Ming Jin thought about it and shook his head again: "Forget it, no need."

The two girls from Jining Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture have already arrived. Even if he comes back, it has nothing to do with her.

She withdrew her gaze and no longer looked in the direction where Wu Ji left. The carriage continued to move towards the Princess's Mansion.
