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

"The princess?"

Wu Ji almost blurted out an angry rebuke, but the moment he saw Ming Jin, he immediately swallowed it back into his throat.

Without caring about why Princess Changle appeared here, Wu Ji quickly got off the horse, walked to the front of the carriage, bowed and greeted Ming Jin.

"Get up."

Mingjin asked someone to get up.

She glanced at the bag on his back and asked knowingly, "Are you going on a long journey?"

"what?"

Wu Ji didn't react at first, but when he noticed Ming Jin's gaze on the bag on his back, he immediately replied, "Yes, yes, I have something to do and need to go out for a while."

"is it?"

Ming Jin did not comment: "Where did the prince go? Is he with you?"

When Wu Ji heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know whether Princess Changle suddenly asked this casually or... afraid of saying more and making mistakes, Wu Ji could only bury his head and deny it flatly: "The prince went on a business trip, and we were not together."

Ming Jin is actually not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things.

If it were any other day, she would not have asked if the people in the palace had concealed the truth like this.

She knows that everyone has their secrets.

Since they concealed it like this, they must have their own reasons.

But thinking of that note...

There are also the baggage on Wu Ji's body, and his face, which looks much more haggard than before.

Ming Jin pursed his lips and didn't beat around the bush.

She looked at Wu Ji and said bluntly: "Wu Ji, we have known each other for a while. You know, you are not good at lying."

Wu Ji looked up in shock.

What I saw was Mingjin's calm and composed face.

Knowing that the princess had realized something was wrong and also knew why she came, Wu Ji didn't know what to say for a moment.

He looked embarrassed: "Subordinates..."

"I know you and Eunuch An have been hiding this from me. You must have your reasons."

"But I must meet your prince today."

"Do you want me to follow you all the way and go around in circles with you outside, or do you want me to take me there directly?"

Seeing Wu Ji's struggle, Ming Jin suddenly slowed down his tone: "I won't ask you what happened, and I won't stay there for long. I just want to see how your prince is doing now. Once I'm sure he's fine, I'll leave and won't cause any trouble for you, okay?"

"Princess, it's not that I don't want to take you there. I want to take you there too, but even though the prince has specifically told me to do so, that place... is not a place that ordinary people can go to."

Wu Ji looked at Ming Jin and sighed, "It is still unknown how the prince has angered His Majesty. If you get involved, there is no guarantee that you will not be punished by His Majesty."

"If you are worried about the prince's health, I can tell you that the prince is fine now."

Mingjin had thought about this consequence a long time ago, but she had to meet Gu Mingheng today.

She didn't say anything extra, just looked at Wu Ji and asked, "If one day I offend His Majesty and am punished by His Majesty, will your prince come to see me?"

"Of course!"

Wu Ji agreed without thinking.

"Me too." Ming Jin looked at Wu Ji and said, "So you don't have to persuade me anymore."

"Besides, I believe that given the brotherly relationship between the prince and His Majesty, His Majesty will not really punish the prince."

Wu Ji looked at Ming Jin for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth.

"That's it!"

He actually also hoped that the princess could go and see the prince.

Even if he was punished by the prince later, he would accept it. After all, he had thick skin and would only feel pain for a few days after being punished. As long as he was not really driven away, it would be fine!

Thinking of this, Wu Ji stopped struggling and bowed to Ming Jin: "Just follow me!"

Mingjin knew that he had given in, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ying, let's go."

It was not clear what had happened to Gu Mingheng, but the palace and the prince's mansion kept the news secret so strictly that Mingjin did not dare to let too many people know. Therefore, she only took Yingge out today, and even the coachman was replaced by Yingge.

The carriage followed Wu Ji out of the city.

Ming Jin didn't say a word along the way, but seeing the carriage going farther and farther away and further away, although she didn't ask Wu Ji where they were going, she secretly had doubts in her heart, wondering where Gu Mingheng was now?

Until he saw a sign, Mingjin's pupils immediately contracted.

She already knew where they were going.

But how could it be...

Why is Gu Mingheng here?

Mingjin was shocked.

Until the carriage was moving slower and slower, Wu Ji's voice of "whoa" was heard from outside, and then the carriage stopped, and Wu Ji's voice came over: "Princess, we're here."

Ming Jin calmed himself down for a moment and nodded softly.

She took the veil beside her, put it on, then lifted the curtain and went out.

Wu Ji was standing outside, looking a little embarrassed: "Princess, this place is different from other places, you have to follow me in."

When Yingge heard this, he immediately frowned.

Mingjin understood.

She also didn't expect that Gu Mingheng would be in the imperial mausoleum. All the emperors and royal relatives of Daqian throughout the dynasties were buried here. This was the first time she had come here in her two lifetimes.

If it weren't for Wu Ji, she would probably not be able to get in even if she followed Wu Ji to find this place.

"Brother Ying, you stay here."

Ming Jin told Wu Ji something, and after hearing Ying Ge's response, she didn't delay any further and said to Wu Ji, "Let's go."

Wu Ji nodded.

He led the way for Mingjin and when they arrived at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, they found someone guarding outside.

Fortunately, Wu Ji had a special identity and they did not check him.

Wu Ji did not reveal Jin's identity, only saying that he was from the palace, and then he took Ming Jin in.

Mingjin didn't say a word along the way.

She followed Wu Ji, but when they entered the imperial mausoleum and there was no one around, Ming Jin couldn't help but ask Wu Ji in a low voice: "What happened to the prince? Why is he here?"

"To be honest, I don't know either."

Wu Ji did not hide anything. He sighed and said to Ming Jin, "The prince refused to tell anyone. If..." He wanted to say that if it was because of the marriage, His Majesty would not be so angry, but he felt that it was still not a good idea to tell the princess about this.

After all, the princess is a junior.

That matter is the prince's private matter.

Wu Ji could only change the subject and said, "Actually, the prince has been acting quite strangely lately."

Ming Jin frowned: "Why do you say that?"

Wu Ji said, "In fact, the prince has been acting strange since he came out of your house after dinner that day. Eunuch An also said that the prince suddenly lost his temper when he was drinking with Lord Zhang that day."

"Master Zhang?"

Ming Jin thought for a moment and said, "Are you talking about that Mr. Zhang Shouyi?"

"The princess also knows him?" Wu Ji was surprised.

Ming Jin nodded: "I've seen him once before."

She didn't say much about Zhang Shouyi, but looked at Wu Ji and asked, "Why did the prince lose his temper?"

Wu Ji shook his head: "I don't know either. I have been here the past few days and have no time to ask."

Ming Jin pondered in silence.

When I was about to ask something else, Wu Ji suddenly said, "Princess, it's just ahead."

Ming Jin put his thoughts aside for the time being.

She followed Wu Ji.

There was a servant guarding the front of the house.

This was Wu Ji's special order, in case Gu Mingheng needed anything.

When the servant saw Wu Ji coming, he hurried forward to meet him.

"Master Wu."

He saluted Wu Ji, glanced at the woman beside him, and asked curiously: "Who is this..."

Wu Ji did not reveal Ming Jin's identity, but only asked, "How is the prince?"

The servant did not dare to ask more questions, and calmed down and said to Wu Ji, "The prince woke up once before, drank the medicine, and now he is asleep again."

Wu Ji nodded: "You can leave first."

The servant retreated immediately.

Wu Ji opened the door and took a look inside first.

Gu Mingheng was still asleep.

"Princess, please come in first." Wu Ji said and invited Ming Jin in.

Afraid that someone else might come over, he closed the door again.

This was also the first time Mingjin saw Gu Mingheng since they parted at the Princess's Mansion that day.

He looked noticeably thinner than I remembered.

Seeing Gu Mingheng looking so weak for the first time, Ming Jin didn’t know what to say for a moment.

She stood there, not knowing what to do.

Wu Ji said, "Please sit down. I will make you some tea."

Wu Ji went over and picked up the teapot, but found that the tea was gone: "Wait here, I'll go get a pot of hot tea."

Only then did Mingjin find his voice again.

She nodded and said to Wu Ji, "Thank you for your help."

Wu Ji hurriedly said no, "I'll be back soon." After he said that, he took the teapot and went downstairs.

Anyway, no one from the prince's side would come rashly, so Wu Ji was not worried that someone would discover the princess's identity.

Ming Jin waited for Wu Ji to leave, then stood there for a while before walking towards the bed.

Although Gu Mingheng's high fever had subsided, his body was still a little weak, his face was flushed, and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Ming Jin looked around the room and after finding where the basin was, she went over and wrung out a handkerchief.

She did not take off her veil, but just put the gauze curtain on top of her head, and then used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off people's faces.

Gu Mingheng was sleeping in a daze.

He has been groggy since he woke up, waking up for a while and then going back to sleep.

There is no time when I am too sober.

At this time, he noticed someone wiping his forehead. Gu Mingheng thought it was Wu Ji or a handyman, so he said in a hoarse voice, "It's okay. No need."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a very happy voice in his ears.

"Are you awake?"

This voice...

Gu Mingheng was dazed, but he opened his eyes immediately.

When he suddenly saw Mingjin's happy face, Gu Mingheng was stunned. He thought he was dreaming again, but why was she so gentle in the dream and even smiled at him?

Didn't she already hate him?

It has been a long time since he last saw her smile like this. Gu Mingheng knew he shouldn't do that, but he still couldn't help but feel nostalgic.

He subconsciously looked at Ming Jin and murmured: "Yan Yan..."

Ming Jin was stunned when he heard this sudden address.

It was the first time she heard Gu Mingheng call her like that, and she was a little surprised, but she quickly smiled and said, "I'm here."

"What do you need, my lord?"

But her words made Gu Mingheng, who had originally had a dazed look, suddenly open his eyes wide.

"you……"

Gu Mingheng suddenly woke up, stared with his eyes wide open, and lost his voice.
