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

When the banquet was over, Emperor Zhenguang left early.

The banquet ended shortly after he left.

Mingjin originally wanted to go back with his grandmother, but unexpectedly Queen Yuan called his grandmother away.

She didn't want to go back with Zhou Zhaoru and the others. When she was hesitating whether to wait for her grandmother to go back together, Xu Zhaojun came over.

Xu Zhaojun knew that she was worried about Prince Chang'an.

But he also knew that with Ah Jin's identity, it was not appropriate to ask casually.

If she stayed in the palace, there was no guarantee that others would not notice something, which would not be a good thing for Ajin. So Xu Zhaojun thought of taking her back with her so that they could talk on the way.

"Yanyan, let's go together." Xu Zhaojun walked over and said to Mingjin.

Ming Jin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and she agreed with a smile.

She went there with Xu Zhaojun.

"uncle and auntie."

The two elders of the Xu family were waiting up front. Mingjin and Xu Zhaojun walked over and greeted them.

Mr. Xu is a serious and upright man.

But because of the Tzu Chi Hall incident, he also looked favorably upon Ming Jin.

Normally at home, he saw that his younger generation always looked serious and unapproachable. But when he saw Ming Jin coming over, he bowed to her and said with great admiration, "The princess is very kind."

Seeing this, Ming Jin hurriedly said, "Uncle, please get up. You are the elder. How can I accept such courtesy?"

Xu Sining stood up straight.

He was already over 40, but still had a lean and handsome appearance, and spoke in a serious tone: "My Lady, there is no need to be modest. This gift is not only to my Lady, but also to the owner of Tzu Chi Hall. I have heard this from my wife. Thank you, My Lady..."

"You did a great job too."

He said the last half of the sentence to Xu Zhaojun.

"My daughter has only done her bit to help, but the main thing is done by the princess." Xu Zhaojun said to her father.

She did not spread the matter to anyone, whether to her mother or Mrs. Yuan. She did so only because she could not bear to see Ajin suffer so much and wanted to help Ajin. Besides, she really wanted to do so.

But she knew that she was busy and anxious, and although she said she was helping, in fact, most of the work was still done by Ajin.

She didn't expect that Ajin would say such words just now in Weiyang Palace.

Seeing that she was neither arrogant nor impatient, Father Xu nodded.

He doesn't care about empty reputations.

He doesn't care whether his daughter can have a good reputation, but it is a good thing to have this intention.

He is satisfied.

"Well, we are still in the palace. You should wait until you get home to talk about these great principles." Mother Xu interrupted Father Xu's "sermon" and turned to Ming Jin and said with a smile: "Princess, don't mind it. Your uncle Xu is just like that."

Mingjin naturally wouldn't mind.

Compared to Ming Yuandu, she prefers fathers like her second uncle and Xu Bofu. She smiled and said, "It's okay. I often hear people outside talking about my uncle. I know that my uncle has great ambitions and always considers the people."

When Mr. Xu heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

He coughed lightly.

Just then someone called him from the front, so he bowed to Mingjin, said something to Xu's mother, and went aside to talk to someone else.

Xu's mother has a very gentle personality.

She already liked Mingjin, and what's more, Mingjin had just spoken well of her daughter Zhaojun in front of the Queen. She was naturally grateful to Mingjin.

Knowing that she doesn't live at home now, I feel sorry for her as a girl, and she is so pitiful.

I have suffered enough from wandering for ten years, and I didn’t expect that I wouldn’t be able to find peace even after returning.

She felt very distressed when she saw it.

"We don't know when the princess will be back, so why not let the princess go home with Zhaojun and sleep tonight?" Xu's mother invited Mingjin.

Mingjin looked hesitant.

"This……"

If it were a normal day, it would be fine.

But today, she wanted to go to the palace to find out what happened to Gu Mingheng.

Xu Zhaojun knew what she was thinking, so she smiled and declined for her: "Mother, how could you invite someone to your home so suddenly? Wait a few days, and then I will personally invite Yanyan to our home for dinner."

Naturally, Xu's mother wouldn't think so much.

Upon hearing this, she quickly agreed. She smiled and said, "That's good. I'll ask the kitchen to make a few more delicious dishes. The princess must come home and taste them."

Mingjin didn't refuse this time. She agreed with a smile.

After Mr. Xu finished speaking, the group walked towards the palace gate.

The carriages were parked here. They came out late, so half of the carriages were gone. Ming Jin was just about to ask someone to tell her grandmother's coachman that she would follow the Xu family's carriage and leave first to avoid worrying her.

Jingyue, who was beside Zhou Zhaoru, came over.

"The county lord."

Jingyue was a little scared of Mingjin now, and didn't dare to look directly at Mingjin's face. She lowered her head and said to Mingjin respectfully, "The Marquis and his wife know that the princess was left behind by the Queen, and your carriage is still in the Marquis' Mansion, so please go back with them."

She knew Ming Jin was concerned about this, so she hurriedly said, "There are two carriages left at home. The Marquis knows that you like quietness, so he left his carriage for you."

Because of Xu Zhaojun, the two elders of the Xu family knew more about the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion than others.

But this was Mingjin's family affair after all, and they, as elders, were not allowed to get involved, fearing that Mingjin would feel uncomfortable if they were there. So Xu's mother said, "Zhaojun, you stay with the princess, I'll go with your father first."

After the two elders finished speaking, they nodded slightly to Mingjin and left first.

After Ming Jin watched them leave, he looked forward and saw several carriages parked not far away. In addition to his grandmother's carriage, there were two more. One was the one Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yao used when they came, and the other was the one Ming Yuandu used when he went to court on weekdays.

At this time, the carriage at Mingyuan Ferry was empty and waiting for her to pass.

As for the car that was already occupied, Ming Yuandu was leaning against the window and looking at her, but when their eyes met, he seemed to look away in embarrassment.

Ming Jin retracted his gaze and politely declined Jing Yue: "No need, I will go back with Sister Xu."

Jingyue hesitated and replied, "...Yes."

She bowed to Mingjin again before leaving.

Ming Jin didn't even look at him and said to Xu Zhaojun, "Let's go."

Xu Zhaojun nodded softly and took Mingjin to her own carriage.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu were already sitting in the carriage, and there was another empty carriage waiting for them.

"You two sisters, just talk nicely and we won't disturb you anymore." Mother Xu spoke to them in a very reasonable manner.

Ming Jin agreed with a smile, and was taken into the carriage by Xu Zhaojun.

On the other side, Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru had already learned what Ming Jin meant from Jingyue.

The two were obviously not surprised by this result, but Zhou Zhaoru still couldn't help but blush and said uncomfortably: "This damn girl, does she have to be so stubborn with us?"

"After all, we are her biological parents. Does she... have to go to this extent with us?"

Ming Yuandu ignored Zhou Zhaoru's words. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he also knew that some things in this world were like a broken mirror and spilled water, which were difficult to mend.

When he chose to save Mingyao, he should have understood that some things cannot be undone.

Watching the Xu family's carriage leave from the car window, Ming Yuandu sighed silently in his heart again.

I chose the wrong path before.

Even if I look back now, it will be of no use. I can only look forward.

He said nothing and was too lazy to argue with Zhou Zhaoru. He got off the carriage and went to his own.

When Zhou Zhaoru saw him leave, he felt suffocated and uncomfortable, especially when he caught a glimpse of Ming Yao huddled in the corner, keeping silent, he hated him even more.

If it weren't for this little bitch, how could the family be in such a mess?

He wanted to punish her severely, but because of her current status, he couldn't do anything. Zhou Zhaoru felt even more depressed.

"go!"

In the end, she could only give Mingyao a fierce look, then turned her head away as if she didn't see it and was not annoyed, and spoke to the coachman outside with gritted teeth.

……

The Xu family’s carriage was in front.

Xu Zhaojun did not let any servants serve inside, but just sat with Mingjin so that the two could talk about private matters.

"I asked Yuan Yu before." Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Xu Zhaojun saw Ming Jin, who had been silent opposite her, immediately raised his head and looked at her.

"What did he say?" Ming Jin asked Xu Zhaojun.

After saying this, seeing the look in Xu Zhaojun's eyes, Ming Jin realized that she was a little too anxious.

She pursed her lips in silence.

But Ming Jin didn't need to pretend anything on Xu Zhaojun's side. She looked at Xu Zhaojun and said, "I am indeed a little worried. He didn't come today for no reason. Something must have happened. And I saw that His Majesty and His Majesty looked a little strange."

Seeing her being so frank, Xu Zhaojun sighed even more.

Ajin's appearance doesn't seem as insignificant as she said that day.

She didn't even say what she asked Yuan Yu, her mind was already full of Prince Chang'an.

Although she thought so in her heart, Xu Zhaojun still talked to Mingjin about the business first, and didn't let her continue to worry: "Yuan Yu didn't know either. He also felt strange, but he quietly asked the eunuchs in the palace. On the day when Miss Zhao and Miss Lu entered the palace, the prince also entered the palace, but he did not see the two girls. He only saw His Majesty and left."

Ming Jin frowned.

This was different from what she had originally thought.

She asked, "He never came to the palace again after that? Then does Lord Yuan know where the prince went? Was he tied up with official duties?"

Xu Zhaojun shook her head: "The eunuchs in the palace have not seen the prince in the past few days. As for the whereabouts of the prince, Yuan Yu doesn't know either..."

Xu Zhaojun hesitated when speaking the following words.

These days, Yuan Yu goes to her house whenever he has time. According to Yuan Yu, he hasn't seen Prince Chang'an for more than a month.

"As for official business—"

Xu Zhaojun regained her composure and said, "The prince is of noble status. Even if he is really busy with official business, he would not let others know. But I don't think it's for official business..."

Not only Mingjin noticed that something was wrong with the emperor and empress, but Xu Zhaojun also felt it.

She said to Ming Jin, "Let's not talk about the fact that His Majesty and His Majesty are not in the right state today. Let's just talk about this Qianqiu Banquet and the two girls Zhao and Lu. They were originally arranged by His Majesty and His Majesty for the prince. What official business could be more important than this?"

"I think it's -"

Xu Zhaojun looked at Mingjin and pointed out the key point: "The prince refuses to marry."

Ming Jin pursed his lips.

She actually guessed it, but she didn't understand.

She frowned and said to Xu Zhaojun, "If it's really about this, what difference would it make if he came in person today? Your Majesty has always loved him. Even if he really doesn't like Miss Zhao and Miss Lu, he can still choose other girls. It's always based on his preferences."

"And from what I know about him, he is not someone who would avoid others. Even if he really didn't like these two girls, he would definitely have explained things to them properly instead of disappearing like he did today."

"There must be other reasons." That's why he didn't even come.

Xu Zhaojun also felt that this matter might not be that simple, but the two of them were just guessing like headless flies, so how much could they guess?

"All right."

Seeing Mingjin still frowning, looking worried.

Xu Zhaojun held her hand and advised, "Don't worry for now. Yuan Yu has already checked. I'll let you know if he has any news."

It can only be the.

Mingjin looked at Xu Zhaojun and said "thank you".

"Why should I thank you between you and me?" Xu Zhaojun looked at Ming Jin and said angrily.

In fact, compared to Prince Chang'an, she was more worried about Ajin.

Ah Jin looked calm.

But sometimes, such calmness can hurt yourself even more.

But there's no point in saying this now.

Xu Zhaojun didn't want to add to Ah Jin's troubles at this juncture.

After that, the two of them didn't say anything else along the way until they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, where they parted ways.

"Then I'll contact you when I have news."

"Don't worry too much. Send someone to tell me if there's anything."

Mingjin nodded and agreed.

"Do not worry."

It was useless for Xu Zhaojun to worry, so she could only say goodbye to Mingjin first.

Afterwards, Xu Zhaojun went home in a carriage, and Ming Jin did not enter the mansion. He just asked someone to tell the doorman and then took his own carriage back to the princess's mansion.

All the way to Huangqin Street.

Hua Sui and Chun Yu both noticed that Ming Jin was not in a good state today, but seeing that Ming Jin looked like she didn't want to talk, they didn't dare to disturb her.

When they were almost at Chang'an Palace, Ming Jin looked at the familiar mansion outside and suddenly shouted, "Stop the car."

The driver stopped and asked, "Princess, what happened?"

Chunyu and Huasui also looked at Mingjin.

Mingjin didn't speak immediately.

Hua Sui was smart, seeing the Chang'an Palace outside, he asked Ming Jin with a smile: "Master, are you going to see the prince?"

Ming Jin pursed her lips and said nothing.

She looked at the Chang'an Palace outside, feeling a little hesitant.

She was worried that something might happen to Gu Mingheng, but she was also afraid that it might not be a good idea for her to visit him rashly.

Would he think she was weird or too controlling?

In fact, no one outside knows about it, and the palace is also keeping it a secret. Obviously, they don't want people to know. So if she goes there like this...

Mingjin was hesitant.

Seeing her like this, Hua Sui and Chun Yu looked at each other for a moment, neither daring to speak anymore.

Just when Hua Sui and Chun Yu were about to persuade her to go back, Ming Jin seemed to have finally made up his mind and ordered in a deep voice: "Hua Sui, go down and ask the servants in the palace and tell them that I want to see the prince."

No matter how Gu Mingheng would feel.

She just wanted to make sure of his safety now, to know that he was okay.

Just knowing that he's okay is enough.

Then she would be relieved.

When Mingjin said this, she kept looking outside. She was not sure whether Gu Mingheng was there or not, but no matter whether he was there or not, she had to ask, what happened to him?

Upon hearing this, Hua Sui hurriedly responded and went downstairs.
