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

Now that Gu Mingheng was back, the people in Chang'an Palace would naturally not stop Yuan Yu anymore. Yuan Yu went to Gu Mingheng's house unhindered.

"Gu Mingheng!"

While still outside, he started shouting.

Zhuo Qian heard the noise and walked out first.

"Second Young Master? Why are you here at this time?" Zhuo Qian was very surprised.

I didn’t expect that the second young master would come over just as the prince came back.

Seeing that Yuan Yu was in a hurry, he knew that he had been running around a lot for his master's affairs in the past two days.

After the princess left yesterday, Master Yuan also came and asked them about the prince.

But putting aside the fact that they themselves were not aware of the situation, the prince had already made his promise, so how could they dare to disobey?

But they were also worried about the prince. Although they did not tell the second young master where the prince was, they did as the second young master said and recalled what had happened recently.

Yesterday, the second young master left directly after asking around.

I didn't expect that the second young master would follow the prince when he returned today. I guess he has been paying attention to the movements in the palace these past two days.

Seeing that the young man's face was still anxious and worried.

Zhuo Qian's heart softened, and when he spoke again, his voice became much gentler.

"Please come in, the master has just returned." Zhuo Qian said, and passed the message inside.

Eunuch An and Wu Ji are all there.

Hearing that Yuan Yu was coming, Eunuch An, who was wiping tears just now, said one more sentence: "After the Qianqiu Banquet yesterday, the Second Young Master came to inquire about your situation. Since you have given us instructions, we dare not say anything, but you suddenly disappeared this time, and the Second Young Master was really worried."

"When I entered the palace today, the Second Young Master asked the Empress about it, but the Empress did not tell him."

Gu Mingheng had just finished taking his medicine.

Hearing this, he hummed softly.

Hearing the noise coming from outside again, Gu Mingheng looked up and saw Yuan Yu rushing in from outside. Looking at the anxious Yuan Yu, he first said to him in a hoarse voice: "Here he comes." Then he said to Eunuch An and the others, "You guys go down first, and ask the kitchen to prepare some food and send it over."

Seeing that Yuan Yu was still wearing his official uniform, he probably hadn’t had time to eat yet.

"Eh!"

Eunuch An agreed, then said goodbye to Wu Ji and the others and left.

Gu Mingheng and Yuan Yu were the only ones left in the room. Gu Mingheng's cough had not yet healed and his throat was still a little itchy.

"Come and sit down." He then picked up the pear soup next to him and took a sip.

Yuan Yu walked towards the people.

Walking to the bed, he sat down without saying anything, just staring at Gu Mingheng.

He had been thinking about a lot along the way.

He didn't know whether his guess was right or not, but if Gu Mingheng really had someone he liked, it could only be Princess Changle.

I don’t know why Gu Mingheng refuses to admit it.

I don't know why he was punished...

But the damn thing is that Princess Changle is still looking at his brother.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yu felt a headache.

After he returned from the palace last night, he heard that his mother had returned from the palace and suddenly pulled his eldest brother aside to talk about this matter.

Yuan Yu originally thought that according to his elder brother's personality, he would definitely refuse outright as he did before, but he did not expect that the servant would come to report that his elder brother actually agreed.

Now we are just waiting for Princess Changle to give her nod so that the two families can meet formally.

If I wasn't worried about Gu Mingheng.

When he goes back tonight, he will definitely ask his eldest brother what he thinks.

It was surprising enough that the eldest brother no longer resisted getting married.

What's more, the person he was going to meet was Princess Changle. Not to mention how important Princess Changle was to Gu Mingheng, just the fact that she was a close friend of Zhaojun made him tremble with fear, fearing that his elder brother would treat her badly in the future and cause Princess Changle to suffer grievances. From then on, he suffered from both sides.

I didn't expect to know such a secret now.

Yuan Yu was totally overwhelmed.

Now looking at Gu Mingheng's pale and thin face, Yuan Yu didn't know what to ask.

"make you worry."

Gu Mingheng didn't know that Yuan Yu had already guessed it. Seeing him looking at him with complicated eyes, he didn't think much about it.

"When I feel better, I'll invite you and Shouyi to come to my house for dinner."

Yuan Yu saw that he did not talk about the reason for his accident, nor did he say how he came back. Although he looked a bit reckless on weekdays, he also knew that everyone has their own secrets and privacy. Since Gu Mingheng kept this matter a secret, he just didn't want others to know.

Naturally, he didn't want to force the issue and had to get to the bottom of it.

Although he was indeed full of questions and really wanted to know what was going on.

"Why are you treating us to a meal for no reason?" He asked, following up on Gu Mingheng's words.

Gu Mingheng did not hide it: "I will be going back to the north in a while. Before I leave, I want to meet you guys again."

"Are you going?"

Yuan Yu was dumbfounded and his eyes widened.

Gu Mingheng hummed softly: "There is nothing else I need to do here. Instead of wasting time here, I might as well go back to the North."

But he had angered his royal brother this time, and the words had already been spoken. At least he could not come back until his royal brother had completely calmed down.

That's why I wanted to have a good time with them before leaving.

In fact, this imperial city was just a place for him to live, and it was not even as familiar to him as the North.

Just because his relatives are in this imperial city, he has always wanted to stay here.

now--

Now, in addition to this thought, there is also a worry.

Although his brother had just agreed to his request and she had her aunt to protect her, Gu Mingheng was still a little worried.

He was afraid that his brother would blame her because of him in the future.

Seeing that Yuan Yu still had his eyes open, he looked incredulous.

Gu Mingheng did not think much about it, and continued to tell Yuan Yu: "I don't know when I can come back after I leave. I am not worried about other matters, but I am worried about Changle."

In front of Yuan Yu, he still called her by the title Mingjin.

He didn't want others to notice what he was thinking.

He couldn't tell Yuan Yu about his brother, so he could only say, "If she has any problems in the future, please help take care of her. I will also tell the sister-in-law and ask her to help take care of her."

She also thought of what her royal brother had said before, and now Bo Yin was looking at her.

I wanted to ask Yuan Yu about this matter, but I felt it was inappropriate. He didn't have the identity and position to ask about these things...

In fact, it would not be a bad idea if she really married Bo Yin.

If she really married Bo Yin, then at least he wouldn't have to worry about what his brother would do to her. Besides, Bo Yin was calm and had no bad behavior. He was a very reliable person. It was a pity that he had been married before and had a daughter he loved very much. Gu Mingheng couldn't help but worry that she would be wronged in the future...

Thinking of this, Gu Mingheng couldn't help but frown again.

Yuan Yu watched Gu Mingheng from the side, and watched his expression change. He could guess that he must be thinking about Princess Changle again. He tried to hold back for a long time, but finally couldn't help it.

Yuan Yu suddenly stood up and ran outside to take a look.

"what are you doing?"

Gu Mingheng was a little confused by his actions. He frowned and looked at Yuan Yu, not knowing what was wrong with him.

Yuan Yu came back only after making sure that there was no one outside.

He walked all the way to Gu Mingheng, looked at Gu Mingheng's puzzled eyes, and finally didn't hold it back any longer. Instead, he looked at Gu Mingheng and said directly: "I've had enough. Gu Mingheng, what on earth are you thinking?"

"Why are you entrusting your orphan to me?"

"If you want to protect someone, go ahead and protect them yourself. Don't you know I'm getting married soon? Why should I help you take care of the person you want to take care of?"

He really couldn't understand what Gu Mingheng was thinking, but he just couldn't bear to see him looking like he was reluctant to leave but still insisted on leaving.

For Yuan Yu.

If you like it, go after it.

Why can't the man and woman be together if they are both unmarried? He really didn't understand what Gu Mingheng was struggling with.

This was the first time that Gu Mingheng saw Yuan Yu lose his temper like this.

I wanted to explain.

But when the words came to my lips, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

"you……"

Gu Mingheng looked at Yuan Yu, frowned and pondered. He could see that Yuan Yu's attitude was wrong.

"Do you know something?" Gu Mingheng suddenly looked at Yuan Yu and asked in a deep voice.

If Yuan Yu didn't know something, he shouldn't have reacted like this. He had asked Yuan Yu for help before, but he didn't react like this then.

After Gu Mingheng finished speaking, he saw a sudden flash of discomfort on Yuan Yu's face, and even the eyes that were originally staring at him turned away and no longer looked at him.

Gu Mingheng's heart sank.

really.

In fact, this is not difficult to guess.

Yuan Yu was investigating and solving cases at the Dali Temple, and he knew best how to find clues from the smallest traces.

He got into trouble suddenly this time. Since Yuan Yu wanted to investigate, he would definitely not let go of the previous clues. Gu Mingheng guessed that he should go to find Shouyi.

Gu Mingheng didn't say anything for a while.

Yuan Yu, who was very annoyed just now, was exposed by Gu Mingheng on the spot. He gritted his teeth and did not hide it anymore.

"Yes, I guessed it. So, Gu Mingheng, what do you think?" Yuan Yu sat back and looked at Gu Mingheng and asked in the same deep voice.

"Why am I becoming less and less able to understand you now?"

"Since you care about her and are afraid that something might happen to her, why don't you marry her and protect her? Aren't you always worried that she's putting her trust in the wrong person?"

"If you marry her, won't you have to worry about others bullying her?"

Yuan Yu really didn't understand and was really confused.

After thinking about it, he could only think of one possibility: "You don't really mind that you are older than her, do you? Then my brother..."

He wanted to say that his brother was not young either, only two years younger than him, but he felt that it was difficult to say.

He didn't want to involve his brother.

Unexpectedly, Gu Mingheng said, "I know Bo Yin is seeing her."

Yuan Yu: “…”

He didn't know what to say anymore.

After a long while, he finally found his voice: "So you just watched her date someone else? And then waited for her to be successful and marry him?"

"Gu Mingheng, won't you regret it?"

Gu Mingheng was silent.

He didn't know if he would regret it.

But rather than regretting, he wanted to see her happy.

"If she really likes it, it would be nice for her to marry Bo Yin."

Yuan Yu's eyes widened this time. He looked at Gu Mingheng and called him "you" several times. In the end, he couldn't say anything. He could only say, "Gu Mingheng, you are really amazing, so amazing!"

"No romantic sage in history has ever been as good as you."

He was really angry.

He felt that he simply couldn't communicate with Gu Mingheng.

This guy was just depressed before, but now it feels like even his mouth has been sawed off. He looks like a gourd with a sawed mouth from head to toe.

He was so angry that he wanted to just walk away.

Finally, seeing his pale face, she couldn't bear it anymore and sat back down again with gritted teeth.

"you……"

I wanted to ask him what his difficulties or reasons were, and as a friend, he could help him think of a solution.

If you are afraid that Princess Changle will not like it.

That's even simpler.

Strong women are always afraid of clinging men. Didn't his Zhaojun dislike him before? Now her attitude has softened a lot. She even took the initiative to ask him about the size of his shoes and wanted to make shoes for him!

He could have taught him a few more tricks to please girls.

He is so good at this!

But before Yuan Yu could finish what he was thinking, he heard Gu Mingheng's hoarse voice: "I still remember the scene ten years ago when I failed to save her."

"Over the years, I have never forgotten it, nor have I let it go."

"I can't forgive myself when I think about the ten years she went through."

This is the deepest secret in his heart.

He couldn't tell this secret to his brother, for he was afraid that his brother would blame Ming Jin after knowing it.

Sometimes, the heavenly family is so unreasonable.

Yuan Yu was stunned.

He didn't expect this to be the reason.

He stared at Gu Mingheng in a daze, his voice unconsciously stuttering: "But, but... Princess Changle has already forgiven you, right? And Princess Changle looks fine now. Gu Mingheng, are you thinking too much?"

He knew that Gu Mingheng had a strong sense of morality.

But now Princess Changle is completely fine, so why should she still think about the past and trap herself in that pain?

"She has forgiven me, but the past experiences will not disappear just because of her forgiveness."

"I can't be so at ease and pretend that nothing happened."

"She still can't sleep in the dark at night. She has to light a light to fall asleep."

This is what Gu Mingheng heard from the servants around her when they were chatting.

It was then that he realized that the shadow of the past had always been with her.

How could he have the nerve to tell her that he liked her, and what qualifications did he have to be with her?

Gu Mingheng closed his eyes.

After a long while, he finally opened his eyes, looked at Yuan Yu and said, "Yuan Yu, I rarely ask you for help, but for this matter, I don't know who else I can ask except you. Since you already know that I like her, you should be able to guess why I want to leave. My brother already knows, and I am worried."

Yuan Yu looked at him without saying anything.

"Are you really not going to try? Maybe things are not as bad as you think." His voice became hoarse unconsciously.

Gu Mingheng looked at him, was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head.

Yuan Yu knew that he had made up his mind and sighed.

He was unwilling to help just now because he didn't understand why Gu Mingheng was like that. Now that he understands, it is impossible for Yuan Yu not to help for both moral and logical reasons.

"Don't worry, I will help you look after her. Whether she will be my sister-in-law or not, I will do my best to protect her."

That was all he had to say.

Gu Mingheng smiled and thanked him.

Seeing him like this, Yuan Yu was even more speechless. With a complicated look in his eyes, he said, "Let's go."

He couldn't eat now.

"Let me know when you've set a time in a few days." After he said that, he said goodbye to Gu Mingheng.

Gu Mingheng didn't keep him and watched Yuan Yu leave.

When Eunuch An came back, Yuan Yu had already left. He was naturally very surprised: "Hey, why did the second young master leave?"

Gu Mingheng just said, "He has something to do."
