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

Gu Mingheng didn't expect that this scene was not his dream, but reality!

It was so unbelievable that he stared at Ming Jin and could not say anything except muttering that one word, until he heard Ming Jin's puzzled and concerned voice again: "Prince, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Mingheng finally realized what was going on and reacted.

Without bothering to answer Ming Jin's question, he sat up suddenly and asked anxiously, "Why are you here? Who brought you here?"

You don't have to think about it to know who brought her here.

Gu Mingheng was upset at Wu Ji's disobedience, but he said to Mingjin, "Go back quickly!"

He was still ill.

The high fever made the man unconscious, his throat felt like it was on fire and was very hoarse, and his heart seemed to be overloaded, beating faster than usual and now it was beating even faster.

What's more, when he got up, he was so violent.

Gu Mingheng couldn't help but feel dizzy again, and he was about to fall backwards after just sitting up.

"Your Majesty——"

Ming Jin naturally couldn't just ignore it. She reached out and held Gu Mingheng's arm while frowning and saying with concern, "You just woke up. Don't make such a big move. I'll ask someone to get a doctor for you."

After Ming Jin finished speaking, he was about to get up and call for help.

"Cough cough..."

Gu Mingheng leaned against the head of the bed, coughing and calling Mingjin: "Mingjin, don't worry about me, go back quickly."

Mingjin stopped walking.

She was puzzled and didn't understand why Gu Mingheng was so anxious to get her away.

Is it because of this place?

Or are you afraid that she will be implicated?

But now that she's here, she doesn't care about that.

She turned and looked at Gu Mingheng.

The pale face before waking up turned red because of the coughing, and the eyes that used to be as calm as water and often made her feel like spring breeze, now... had emotions that she couldn't understand.

Concern.

Worry.

It seems like there is something else hidden.

Mingjin couldn't understand.

But she knew that no matter what time, Gu Mingheng was the one who cared about her.

He would never hurt her.

When Ming Jin thought of this, his heart softened again.

She didn't leave, but she didn't go to see the doctor again. Instead, she said to Gu Mingheng, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll leave when Wu Ji comes back."

There was no tea in the house, but there was fresh fruit.

Although Gu Mingheng had been here before, with his status, how could the people below dare to neglect him? The things delivered every day were all top-notch. Even though Gu Mingheng could not enjoy them now, the daily fresh fruits never stopped.

Seeing that his lips were too dry, Ming Jin simply took an orange and went back to sit.

Seeing that Gu Mingheng was still looking at her worriedly.

Seeing him open his mouth again, Ming Jin knew that he was going to chase her away again, so she took the initiative: "This is my first time here, I don't know the way, does Your Majesty want me to find my way out by myself? If I go to a place I shouldn't go, Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I will be caught?"

She said that on purpose.

"I'm afraid that His Majesty will blame me even more by then."

This is the imperial tomb.

The emperors, empresses and royal relatives of the Daqian dynasty lived here. If you walk around without thinking, you will be at risk of being captured.

After hearing what she said, Gu Mingheng really didn't want to chase her away, but he still looked at her with a complicated look and said, "Since you know this place is dangerous, you shouldn't have come."

But thinking about it, she probably didn't know where this place was. Gu Mingheng couldn't help but blame his personal bodyguard again.

"Wu Ji is really becoming more and more disobedient. I clearly..."

He wanted to say.

He had clearly instructed him, but he didn't expect that he would still bring her here!

Gu Mingheng felt annoyed, but more worried.

He didn't want her to come, firstly because he was afraid that she would notice his thoughts and dislike him from then on, and secondly because he was afraid that his brother would find out and involve her.

No matter which result it is, Gu Mingheng doesn't want to see it, nor does he hope it will happen.

"Don't blame Wu Ji. He warned me that this place was dangerous. I forced him to bring me here."

"I also know that the prince is worried about implicating me, but since I'm here, if anything, the news would have reached His Majesty's ears long ago. Isn't it the same if I leave now or later?" Ming Jin revealed a rare cunningness.

She looked at Gu Mingheng with clear eyes.

At this moment, she did not have the coldness she usually showed, but looked more like a cunning little fox. She looked at Gu Mingheng with a smile and spoke.

If it were before.

Seeing her like this, Gu Mingheng was naturally infected and laughed too.

But now, he just felt that his eyes and heart were burned by her gaze.

My heart was beating fast.

His eyes unconsciously moved to the side.

Dare not look at each other.

Afraid she would notice something.

Mingjin didn't notice anything, but handed the peeled orange in his hand to Gu Mingheng.

"My Lord, eat an orange."

Gu Mingheng didn't dare let her notice and could only try to make himself the same as before.

But when he reached out to take it and saw the orange, he couldn't help but was stunned.

The orange in his hand had only the top peeled, with the peel still supporting the bottom, and the flesh intact inside. It looked like a blooming lotus, just like the one he peeled for her.

"what happened?"

Seeing that he didn't move, Ming Jin couldn't help but ask.

"……nothing."

Gu Mingheng replied in a hoarse voice.

As he spoke he ate a slice of orange, it was very sweet.

When Mingjin saw him start eating, he didn't say anything for a while, but looked at Gu Mingheng.

Although he was dressed neatly, Gu Mingheng could not hide his haggardness at this moment. Mingjin felt a little distressed as he had never seen Gu Mingheng like this before.

I don’t know what he has been through in the past few days.

He also didn't understand why His Majesty punished him to come here to reflect on his mistakes.

Reflect on your mistakes.

What good things has he thought about?

When Mingjin came, she just wanted to see him and make sure he was okay, so she would feel relieved. But now looking at Gu Mingheng, she couldn't help but ask, what happened to him?

"Why is the prince here?"

Gu Mingheng paused while eating the orange, but it was only for a breath before he continued in a gentle voice, "There are some things I didn't do well, and I made my brother unhappy."

"Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."

Mingjin naturally wouldn't believe this nonsense.

She opened her mouth to speak and ask, but seeing Gu Mingheng's haggard face, forcing a smile and not wanting to make her worry, Mingjin was unwilling to force him.

That's it.

Since he didn't say it, there must be a reason.

Why should she force others to do so?

She sat on a chair beside the bed and looked at Gu Mingheng. Suddenly she asked, "Does the prince remember what you promised me?"

Gu Mingheng was stunned.

He looked at Ming Jin and didn't know what Ming Jin was talking about for a moment.

He seemed to have promised her many things, but she couldn't tell which one it was.

"I once told the prince that if he feels that he owes me, then please live well and live a long life."

"But--"

Ming Jin stopped talking suddenly when he got to this point.

She glanced at Gu Mingheng before continuing, "It seems that the prince has not done it."

Gu Mingheng has always been a man of his word and has never regretted a promise. Although there was a reason for this incident, Gu Mingheng immediately became nervous when Mingjin said this.

"I……"

He wanted to say he didn't mean it.

But when he thought about that day when he was kneeling in front of his father and mother, there was indeed a moment when he thought that it would be nice to die like this.

Then no one would know his ugly thoughts.

No matter what, he was the one who broke his promise first this time. But if she knew what he was thinking, would she still wish him a long life?

Gu Mingheng didn’t know, and he didn’t dare to ask.

Facing Ming Jin's questioning, he could only lower his eyes and replied in a hoarse voice: "It was my fault for breaking the promise this time. I will take good care of myself in the future and will not let this happen again."

"Your Majesty's promise is worth a thousand gold coins. You must keep your word."

Gu Mingheng was about to agree when he heard Mingjin say, "Remember, your life belongs to me. You must protect yourself at all times and not let anything happen to you."

"Can the prince do this?"

The sunlight from the window shone into the house through the small grids and onto Mingjin. She sat in the sunlight and asked Gu Mingheng calmly, "Can the prince protect himself?"

Gu Mingheng looked at her for a while before he responded in a hoarse voice.

Mingjin finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he agreed.

These words were originally due to his sudden death from illness in his previous life. Although the death was fake, Ming Jin was still worried and even more worried.

Why on earth would he fake his own death?

At this time, Wu Ji pushed the door open.

"Princess, tea..."

He thought Gu Mingheng was still asleep, and was just about to tell Mingjin that the tea was ready when he saw Gu Mingheng sitting against the bed.

Wu Ji was surprised and even quickened his pace.

"Master, are you awake?"

But his cheerful steps were soon halted by the look in Gu Mingheng's eyes. Although his master didn't say anything, how could Wu Ji not know what the emotions in his master's eyes meant.

The master is blaming him for acting on his own initiative and bringing the princess here.

Wu Ji knew that he would be punished, but he was not afraid. He just hoped that his master would consider his many years of service and not really drive him away.

He was just about to plead guilty.

Wu Ji heard a gentle female voice coming from inside the house.

"Your Majesty."

The soft and gentle female voice was Mingjin speaking.

Ming Jin only said two words, and Wu Ji felt that the gaze falling on him was suddenly retracted.

Then Wu Ji heard his master say, "Got it."

Wu Ji stared, looking confused.

understood?

Know what?

What happened during the time he was away? Why did he feel like he had missed a lot of information?

No one paid attention to his inner doubts.

Ming Jin was still sitting on the edge of the bed, facing Gu Mingheng's eyes, knowing that Gu Mingheng wanted her to leave.

She had just promised Gu Mingheng that she would leave after Wu Ji came back.

But at this moment, she looked as if she had forgotten about it. Not only did she not mention leaving, she even asked Gu Mingheng, "Has Your Majesty eaten yet?"

Gu Mingheng was just about to say "I've eaten".

But being looked at like that by Ming Jin, he could only tell the truth: "I ate a little this morning, but I don't have much appetite."

Ming Jin uttered a soft "oh" and then said, "But I'm hungry."

When Gu Mingheng looked over, Mingjin looked at him and said, "I haven't eaten anything this morning. Can Your Majesty eat something with me?"

She simply ignored the promise she had made to Gu Mingheng to leave.

The man in front of her had lost a lot of weight and it seemed that he hadn't eaten well recently. She wanted to accompany him for a good meal.

How could Gu Mingheng not agree?

He knew that the longer she stayed, the more suspicious the emperor would become, and he was afraid that his previous cover-ups would be seen through by the emperor.

But he still couldn't refuse her, and he couldn't just watch her go back hungry.

"Ask the kitchen to prepare some food and send it over quickly." Gu Mingheng instructed Wu Ji, and added, "Make more food that the princess likes."

Wu Ji was about to leave in response when he heard Ming Jin say, "Make something light. The prince and I will eat together."

Wu Ji paused again after hearing what he said.

He didn't know who to listen to for a moment, but when he turned around and saw the two faces, Wu Ji didn't even ask, but immediately responded with a smile.

"Subordinate, go now!"

He put down the teapot and left happily, with a lighter step.

As expected, the only one who can make the master obedient is the princess.

The princess is so amazing!
