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

Her voice was so clear, but Gu Mingheng felt like he was deaf.

Or maybe he hurt his ear yesterday?

Hallucinated?

How else would he hear such words?

But even if it was an auditory hallucination, what he saw with his eyes was the same. The imperial edict clearly had written on it six big characters: Prince of Chang'an Gu Mingheng... Or did his eyes also become damaged?

Gu Mingheng was shocked and doubtful, and he still looked at Mingjin with a dazed, even dull expression.

"Your Majesty?"

It wasn't until Ming Jin waved in front of him that he gradually came back to his senses.

He blinked his thick eyelashes twice and replied in a hoarse voice, "I, I'm here."

He subconsciously avoided looking at Ming Jin and fell on the imperial edict. He saw the words again and raised his eyes carefully. He didn't dare to look directly into Ming Jin's eyes. He looked at her nose and lips, and asked hesitantly in a low voice: "...Is this true?"

He was afraid that Mingjin was lying to him.

It’s not that he was afraid that Mingjin would deceive him about the arranged marriage.

The imperial edict was in his hands, and even the imperial seal was stamped on it. How could it be forged with the emperor's personal writing?

He was afraid that his royal brother had forced her to do all this.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was very possible. Gu Mingheng, who had just been thinking wildly, with his mind full of "how could it be" and "how is it possible", suddenly calmed down.

I also dare to look Mingjin directly into the eyes.

He looked at Mingjin nervously and asked, "Did my brother force you to do that?"

"Did my brother threaten you?"

Before Mingjin could speak, he said, "Don't be afraid. If you are being threatened, I will take care of it."

"I won't let anything happen to you." He said seriously.

Mingjin had thought of many possible reactions of Gu Mingheng after seeing the imperial edict, but he never expected it to be like this.

There was still a smile on her face.

Gu Mingheng was watching him at this moment. Seeing the nervous expression on his face, he gradually restrained the smile on his face.

She stopped laughing.

Nor spoke.

Just looking at Gu Mingheng quietly.

Gu Mingheng couldn't help feeling a little helpless when she looked at him like this.

He could sense Mingjin's unhappiness.

Although he didn't know the situation, Gu Mingheng still asked carefully: "What's wrong?"

Ming Jin looked at Gu Mingheng and said directly: "I am a little unhappy."

When Gu Mingheng heard this, he immediately asked nervously, "Why?"

He also thought that it was because of this marriage: "It was your royal brother who forced you, right?" He thought he guessed right.

But when Mingjin saw him like this, he became even more silent.

When their eyes met, Ming Jin was the first to give in. She placed her fingertips on her forehead and pressed down. After a while, Ming Jin put her hands down and looked at Gu Mingheng seriously and said, "Did I not express myself clearly enough, so the prince misunderstood me like this?"

"Or do you think that what I said just now was not straightforward enough?"

"Then I'll tell the prince this -"

Ming Jin looked at Gu Ming Heng and said word by word, "I like the prince and I want to marry him, so I got up early in the morning and ran to the palace to shamelessly ask His Majesty to grant us a marriage."

"Can Your Majesty understand what I am saying?"

With every word she spoke, Gu Mingheng's expression would change.

The person who had a nervous look on his face just now became little by little surprised because of Mingjin's words.

The mouth is slightly open.

He became his original appearance again.

He looked surprised and incredulous.

He was unable to utter a single word at this moment. Although no one was talking in the room, there seemed to be countless noisy voices buzzing around his ears.

He stared at Mingjin blankly.

The moment I found my voice, I said something from the bottom of my heart: "How could it be..."

He thought he was whispering in his mind.

It wasn't until he saw Mingjin's face change again and he suddenly stood up that he suddenly panicked.

Visible tension.

He thought Mingjin was leaving.

His hand unconsciously reached out, and at the moment when he was about to hold Ming Jin's sleeve, he hesitated and did not dare to grab it. He froze in mid-air, raised his head to look at Ming Jin, and asked cautiously: "Are you... angry?"

Ming Jin looked down at him, his tone flat: "Your Highness, do you think I shouldn't be angry?"

Before Gu Mingheng could speak, she continued, "If the prince was like me, running to the person he loved with a happy and excited face, but was met with suspicion from the person he loved, what would the prince do?"

Gu Mingheng's face changed slightly, and he said quickly: "I'm sorry, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Mingjin threw another box over.

The unfinished words were suddenly interrupted. Gu Mingheng didn't know what this was, so he looked at Mingjin and asked in a low voice: "What is this?"

But Mingjin looked like he didn't want to talk.

She still stood there and did not leave, but her face was deliberately turned to the other side, as if she didn't want to pay attention to Gu Mingheng at this moment.

Gu Mingheng also knew that she was very angry.

I was extremely anxious, but I didn't know what to do.

He was not good at coaxing people, and at this moment he especially wanted Yuan Yu to give him some advice.

However, this is obviously just wishful thinking.

While he was looking at Mingjin's face, thinking about what to say, he opened the box in his hand.

There was only a rolled-up piece of paper inside.

Not knowing what it was, Gu Mingheng didn't dare ask Mingjin for fear of upsetting her even more, so he could only open it himself.

"This is--"

When he saw the contents on the paper clearly, Gu Mingheng was completely stunned.

His eyes widened.

Sometimes he would look at the painting, sometimes he would look at Mingjin.

He didn't dare ask Mingjin if she drew this. If he really asked that, Mingjin would probably be so angry that he would run away.

And this painting——

Looking at the dried ink, it was obviously not completed today.

So, she really likes him?

Did she really take the initiative and voluntarily ask her brother for this marriage?

but……

How is this possible?

He still had countless questions, but he couldn't say a word.

It's just that he doesn't want to say it at this moment.

Gu Mingheng didn’t know how to describe his feelings at the moment. It was like he was hit by a huge surprise. He was actually a little dazed.

But after that kind of daze, there was great excitement and joy.

Even though there were still countless confusions and puzzles, Gu Mingheng didn't want to ask or care anymore. He didn't even want to ask if it was because of what happened yesterday, or if she was grateful to him.

Whatever the reason.

He only knew that she did it voluntarily and not forced, and that was enough!

He finally became excited.

In fact, Mingjin had been secretly watching Gu Mingheng out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that he was becoming uncontrollably happy and even his eyes became bright, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips.

"Does Your Highness believe it now?" she asked deliberately.

Gu Mingheng felt a little embarrassed by her question.

His ears were burning and he hummed softly, but he didn't know if it was because he was too excited, the word "hmm" was silent.

He coughed lightly again before uttering the word.

It became even more embarrassing.

He is ten years older than her, but he acts like a fool today, which is really embarrassing.

Gu Mingheng looked down on himself a little.

But Mingjin didn't laugh at him. Instead, she picked up the tea bowl beside her and handed it to Gu Mingheng: "Drink some water first."

Gu Mingheng took the teacup without any objection.

But he wasn't actually thirsty at the moment, so he drank two sips and stopped drinking. He was just about to reach out and put it down.

"Let me do it."

After Ming Jin finished speaking, he reached out to take it.

Gu Mingheng didn't know what to say at this moment. Seeing Mingjin reaching out to take it, he subconsciously said, "You drink some too."

He was afraid that Mingjin was thirsty too.

Ming Jin just hummed softly?

She was still holding Gu Mingheng's tea bowl in her hand, her eyes looking at Gu Mingheng. Even though she knew that Gu Mingheng did not mean that, she deliberately teased him.

Gu Mingheng was staring at her and didn't react at first.

When he realized what was happening, his face became hot, and he said hurriedly: "I, I didn't mean that, I didn't ask you to drink mine, I meant..."

He was at a loss for words to explain.

It was not until he heard a chuckle that Gu Mingheng looked over and saw Ming Jin looking at him with interest, and he realized that she did it on purpose.

She was teasing him on purpose.

But Gu Mingheng was not angry at all. When he saw Mingjin's happy and relaxed look, his eyebrows and eyes gradually became gentler.
