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

Ming Jin finally poured himself a glass and refilled a glass for Gu Mingheng. His throat was very hoarse and he needed to drink more water.

Then she returned to her original seat and sat down again.

From beginning to end, Gu Mingheng's eyes had been following her, but when he saw Mingjin coming back, his gaze towards her became much more restrained.

He knew to turn his face away and lower his head, and stopped staring at Mingjin.

Ming Jin just pretended not to know.

Although Gu Mingheng had expressed that he believed it and no longer had any doubts, Mingjin still planned to tell everyone everything so that he wouldn't think that she wanted to marry him because of what happened yesterday.

She didn't want such misunderstanding to occur between them.

She also wanted him to know that even if nothing happened yesterday, her love for him was real, as evidenced by the sun and the moon.

He deserved all her love.

"I didn't fall in love with the prince because of what happened yesterday." Ming Jin said as he handed over Gu Mingheng's cup.

Gu Mingheng then reached out to take it.

I was stunned for a moment when I heard such an opening speech out of the blue.

I almost lost my grip.

Fortunately, Mingjin helped support the bottom of the teacup so that it did not fall onto the bed when he let go.

Although Gu Mingheng didn't say anything, he looked at Mingjin in a daze.

After Mingjin saw Gu Mingheng hold the teacup firmly again, he withdrew his hand and sat down again.

She didn't drink tea at this time.

She put the teacup aside, folded her hands on her knees, and then looked at Gu Mingheng who was still looking at her absentmindedly, and said slowly: "I painted this picture a few days ago after the prince told me that he was going back to the north."

Gu Mingheng was surprised.

He hadn't expected her to paint so early.

"But I liked the prince even earlier than that time."

She suddenly thought of what Yuan Yu had said to her yesterday and couldn't help laughing.

They really are...

On the same day, they both knew they liked each other, but they also chose to hide it.

"The prince left early that day, and then I saw the sleeve arrow he gave me. That was the day I realized that I fell in love with him." She was frank with Gu Mingheng.

"what?"

Gu Mingheng was indeed surprised.

The teacup in his hand was not held firmly for a moment.

Ming Jin looked at the poor teacup and finally reached out to take it, and put it aside like her cup.

Otherwise, he might lose his grip and get the bed wet.

Gu Mingheng let her do what she wanted.

He was still in shock and didn't even notice that the teacup had left his hand. He was still mumbling, "How could it be..."

Mingjin knew what he was thinking.

Looking at the regret and lingering fear on Gu Mingheng's face, Ming Jin knew that he was as scared at this moment as she was yesterday.

They are all scared.

They almost missed each other.

"I……"

Gu Mingheng's eyes turned red without him noticing.

He thought Ming Jin didn't know, so he looked at Ming Jin and said, "That was the day I knew I liked you."

When he said this, he still looked frightened.

Ming Jin looked at him and smiled: "I know."

Gu Mingheng was stunned.

Before Gu Mingheng could ask, Mingjin explained: "Lord Yuan told me yesterday."

"This person..."

Gu Mingheng murmured.

Ming Jin smiled and said, "I have to thank Lord Yuan. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known about this."

Gu Mingheng looked at her and asked, "If you didn't know, would you still ask the emperor for marriage?"

As soon as he said this, he felt a little regretful.

Why is he asking this?

I was really blinded by her love and dared to ask anything.

Have anything to ask?

Isn't it enough that she likes him and is willing to marry him?

Why did he ask so many questions?

Gu Mingheng was about to change the subject, but Mingjin took the lead and answered him firmly and decisively: "Of course."

"I had already decided to marry the prince long before Lord Yuan asked."

"Or maybe even earlier, yesterday, on the top floor of Mingyue Tower, when I saw the prince appear downstairs, stretching out his arms to me, and I jumped towards you without hesitation, I knew that I would never want to let the prince go again in my life."

Gu Mingheng had never heard such love words.

Although he had been loved by many people in his life, especially in the north, the people there were open-minded and the women were not as conservative as those in the capital.

There were also many people who expressed their desire to marry him in the street.

But he had never heard such sincere and passionate love.

What's more, she was the one who said these words.

Gu Mingheng felt as if his whole body was on fire, his heart was surging and he was extremely excited.

He could do nothing but stare at her.

But he wanted to express it.

I don’t want Mingjin’s love to go unrequited.

"Me too."

He spoke to Mingjin in a hoarse voice.

Seeing Mingjin raised his eyebrows, looking unconvinced, Gu Mingheng whispered, "Before you said you had someone you liked, I actually thought about asking you what you thought."

What happened yesterday was really too thrilling.

As long as he thought about how close he had come to losing her, he felt like nothing else mattered and he just wanted to stay by her side and make sure she was safe.

But he still felt a little embarrassed after all.

Yuan Yu was such a big mouth, and once he opened his mouth to her, it was impossible for him to only tell her one thing. It was likely that he had revealed everything that he had been hiding recently.

This guy……

His face couldn't help but become hot again.

Especially when Ming Jin was looking at him with a smile, he felt even more uneasy and at a loss, not daring to look her in the eye. At his age, he still looked like this, and Gu Mingheng felt a little embarrassed.

Ming Jin looked at his slightly flushed cheeks, and the more he looked at him, the happier he became.

She chuckled and asked him, "So even if I didn't ask the emperor for a marriage this time, His Majesty would still find time to talk to me?"

"Ah."

Gu Mingheng did not hesitate or feel embarrassed this time. Instead, he raised his head seriously and answered Mingjin's questions.

He even said it while looking into Mingjin's eyes.

When Mingjin heard his words, the smile on her face suddenly became even brighter.

She suddenly looked at Gu Mingheng and said, "My Lord, I want to hug you, can I?"

"what?"

Gu Mingheng was stunned for a moment, he thought he was hallucinating.

But Mingjin didn't say anything else. Instead, he stood up from the chair and sat down beside the bed. Then he reached out to Gu Mingheng, leaned over, and hugged him gently.

Gu Mingheng froze.

He was dazed, unable to react.

Until I heard Mingjin's voice again, almost like a whisper: "Gu Mingheng, I'm so happy."

His heart softened at once.

The originally stiff back seemed to finally relax.

He also reached out and hugged Ming Jin, carefully, as if he was holding a treasure.

"Me too."

He spoke softly to Mingjin.

He is very happy too.

I am happy for this relationship that was hard-earned, almost lost, but finally possessed.

The two of them did not do anything else except hugging each other. They just hugged each other gently without saying anything. They were both feeling lucky and grateful, so they cherished this moment very much.

It was not until Eunuch An knew Mingjin had arrived that he came in.

"I heard that the princess is here? It just so happens that I asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of food. The princess is accompanying the prince..."

Before he could finish his words, Eunuch An saw the scene in front of him.

He stopped in his tracks, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "Oh my God!"

Wu Ji and the other two who were guarding outside heard the noise and came in one after another.

"What happened?"

They thought something was wrong.

Until they also saw the scene ahead.

Although Mingjin and Gu Mingheng had already separated and were no longer hugging each other, the distance between them was enough to show their closeness.

The group of people were stunned, unable to react to what was happening.

It was Wu Ji who reacted first.

He was more pleasantly surprised than shocked. He pushed Zhuo Qian and Qing Xin, who hadn't reacted yet, out, then pulled Eunuch An over and led them out while shouting anxiously, "Prince, Princess, continue!"

Ming Jin: ...

She looked at the suddenly empty room and fell silent.
