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

Gu Mingheng didn't expect that Mingjin would wake up at this time.

With his face held in Mingjin's hands, Gu Mingheng looked at Mingjin and asked softly, "Did I wake you up?"

"You didn't say anything, how could you disturb me? I wasn't sleeping much anyway." She just felt that the sun was shining brightly and she felt warm all over, so she gradually felt sleepy.

But actually I was just groggy and didn't sleep very well.

"what happened?"

Ming Jin said as he sat up.

The book in her hand was also put aside by her.

She sat on the recliner, looking at Gu Mingheng beside her at eye level. Perhaps because the two of them had been together for a long time, she could now easily see Gu Mingheng's emotional changes.

Like right now.

She could see the sadness hidden beneath his calmness.

"What happened?" It was Ming Jin who asked him softly.

Gu Mingheng actually didn't want to bother her with those things, nor did he want her to worry about them. To him, as long as she was happy, that was all.

He hopes her world will always be clean and bright.

But Mingjin's gaze was too gentle and too tolerant.

Obviously, she is much younger than him, but sometimes, Gu Mingheng always feels that his Yanyan has a maturity and heaviness beyond her age.

This kind of tolerance makes people want to tell her everything they know.

Mingjin's hand touched his face again without his knowledge. Gu Mingheng did not struggle and just let Mingjin hold his face and answer her.

"I entered the palace today."

Ming Jin hummed softly, guessing it, and asked him: "Did something bad happen?"

Gu Mingheng did not hide it: "Yesterday, Yuan Yu and his team found a person who might be related to the collapse of Mingyue Building, but when they were about to interrogate him, the person had already died in prison."

Ming Jin frowned.

She groaned and said, "In this case, it can be confirmed that it was a man-made disaster."

Although he had already guessed this in his mind, Ming Jin still found it difficult to accept when it turned out to be true.

She became more and more certain that this was probably done by Gu Changxuan.

But she also knew.

This matter may be difficult to investigate, and it may end up in nothing.

"Did you find anything?"

Gu Mingheng shook his head: "At that time, only one yamen runner went in, but after investigation, it was found that the yamen runner was impersonated by someone else. The real yamen runner had already died."

This is an unsolved case.

He can come and go without a trace in the Ministry of Justice and kill two people without being discovered. This man really has great abilities.

Ming Jin asked in a deep voice: "Where are the family members of the official involved?"

about this point--

Of course, someone has already checked it.

Gu Mingheng said: "As early as half a month ago, the family of this official surnamed Fan disappeared, and no one knows where they went."

"As for the official surnamed Fan, he has little influence in the Ministry of Industry. Because of his personality, he doesn't make friends with anyone. His relationships with other people are average. It's difficult to start with the people around him."

Mingjin remained silent.

Such an insignificant, almost invisible person is really suitable for doing these things.

Even if we find him, it would be difficult to start with the people around him.

Unless his family is found.

But now that it has come to this, his family members are probably either dead or have been secretly protected by someone in advance.

How easy is it to find them?

Gu Mingheng didn't say anything for a while.

He didn't know what to say at this moment.

But looking at Mingjin's silent and ugly face at this moment, Gu Mingheng knew that although Yanyan didn't want him to get involved in these things, deep down, she still felt unfair and sympathized with those who died.

But at this time, he could only comfort her: "My royal brother has asked someone to investigate."

But as to whether there would be any result, Gu Mingheng didn't know, he could only comfort Mingjin in this way.

Ming Jin nodded softly.

Glancing at Gu Mingheng, she also said something to comfort him: "Don't think too much. Since things have come to this point and His Majesty has spoken, the three courts will definitely conduct a thorough investigation."

If we really can't find it, then there's nothing we can do.

We can only protect those who are still alive as much as possible.

She is not an inexperienced little girl with a head full of naivety. She has experienced too much injustice and unfairness, and she has long known that it is difficult to demand fairness and truth in this world.

I don’t know how many corpses are fished out of the Jinshui Lake every year.

There are countless people who are missing or have died for unknown reasons.

There will always be unsolved cases.

Where can we check every single one clearly?

She just felt a little pity and a little disgusted.

If this matter is really related to Gu Changxuan, and if the truth cannot be found out, it will be a good thing for him!

I don’t know when his true identity will be revealed to the public.

"There is one more thing..."

Ming Jin was thinking about these things when he suddenly heard Yixian's voice coming to his ears.

"what?"

She asked.

Gu Mingheng said to her, "Cheng Qian brought Li Chang to see the emperor today. The emperor has already known about Yue Qing's collusion with Li Chang."

This surprised Mingjin a little.

She didn't expect that the prince would reveal this matter at this time, but this also made Mingjin's previously depressed mood become high again.

She couldn't help but ask, "What does your majesty say?"

"Cheng Qian will be responsible for Li Chang's affairs. As for Yue Qing, my brother asked him to return home and reflect on his mistakes first. As for the follow-up..."

Gu Mingheng pondered.

In fact, he was still unsure about this, but looking at Ming Jin's burning gaze at the moment, he still said to others: "I propose to my brother the title of king and vassal."

"Establish a vassal..."

Ming Jin whispered.

If the princes are granted titles of king and fiefdom, they will no longer be able to stay in the capital. They will go to their respective fiefdoms and will no longer be able to enter the capital without being summoned.

...Actually this is the best.

If Gu Changxuan is released into exile and never able to come back, then no matter how big his ambitions are, it will be of no use.

"Will Your Majesty agree?" Ming Jin hesitated.

In his previous life, their emperor had never reached this point.

Just like every emperor who likes checks and balances, the current emperor is the same.

Will he agree?

Will power really be shared with the prince from now on?

Gu Mingheng shook his head. He held Mingjin's hand and whispered, "I don't know either."

"But after going through so much, my brother should think it through."

When he said this, his voice became heavy again.

Ming Jin then realized why he was so sad today. After all, those people were his blood relatives and he had watched them grow up. Now that their brothers were at odds with each other and things had turned out like this, how could he feel good about it?

Mingjin never mentioned it again.

Instead, he moved closer and gently embraced Gu Mingheng.

"You have done what you can, and I believe His Majesty will think it through." She comforted Gu Mingheng.

Gu Mingheng rested his forehead on Mingjin's shoulder and hummed softly.

Ming Jin didn't want him to feel so bad, so he just talked about something else: "I wrote a letter to my grandmother and told her that you wanted to visit."

This matter really attracted Gu Mingheng's attention. He couldn't help but look up and ask, "What did aunt say?"

Ming Jin did not hide anything and replied truthfully: "Grandma is very happy and welcomes you very much."

"But grandma said that the family is a bit busy these days. If you go over, I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain you properly. I thought I'd invite you over after a few days, when the family is freer."

"how do you feel?"

Gu Mingheng naturally had no objection, he said: "Listen to aunt."

Because of this, he felt much better.

……

Li Chang is dead.

But the fact that he was colluding with Gu Changxuan was still concealed.

No one knew why he died.

It was as if no one knew that Gu Changxuan was now staying indoors and reflecting on his mistakes at home.

Empress Xian was very worried about this.

She already knew the situation.

But His Majesty did not say it explicitly, and she couldn't even go and beg for mercy from His Majesty.

Your Majesty is most averse to concubines interfering in these matters.

Emperor Zhenguang was also somewhat angry with Concubine Xian because of the Gu Changxuan incident. Moreover, they were mother and son, and his son was like this. Who could guarantee that the gentleness and virtue shown by his mother was real?

It’s possible that both mother and son are pretending!

Whenever Emperor Zhenguang thought of the person beside him, wearing such a mask and not knowing what she was thinking deep down, he felt a chill.

Although he did not directly punish Concubine Xian, Emperor Zhenguang did not set foot in Concubine Xian's palace in the past two days.

Whenever he was in a bad mood or feeling upset, he liked to go to Concubine Xian and listen to her talk.

All the soup that Empress Xian had sent over was also returned.

Because of this matter, Empress Xian has been tossing and turning and unable to sleep at night, and has no time to take care of her daughter.

And this day was the day that Gu Jiarou and Ming Yao had agreed to meet, and it was also the day Ming Jingheng was resting.
