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

Mingjin was really tired.

On the way back in the carriage, she fell asleep in Gu Mingheng's arms.

"Master, we're here."

Qing Xin's voice came from outside.

Gu Mingheng lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked outside. They had already arrived at the Princess's Mansion.

Looking at Mingjin who was still asleep in his arms, Gu Mingheng saw that her brows were furrowed even when she was asleep, and he knew that she was not at ease even in her dreams.

I couldn't bear to wake her up.

Gu Mingheng carefully carried Mingjin and got off the carriage.

The servants in front of the princess's mansion saw them come back and were about to step forward to greet them, but Gu Mingheng signaled them to be quiet with his eyes and stopped greeting them.

He just bowed silently.

Gu Mingheng carried Mingjin in like this.

The night is already deep.

But whether it was Aunt Pei, Hua Sui, Chun Yu or the others, they had not gone to bed yet and were still waiting for Ming Jin to come back.

Several people sat together, some worried that Mingjin had not returned so late, fearing that something had happened to her.

Until the little girl outside hurried in and said to them in a low voice: "Aunt, the princess and the prince are back!"

When the three heard this, they immediately stood up and went out to greet him.

When they saw their master being carried in by the prince, they thought something had happened to Mingjin and their faces turned pale.

"My Lord, my Master..."

Aunt Pei's face turned pale and she spoke softly.

Gu Mingheng whispered back, "It's okay, I'm just tired. I'll carry her to sleep first."

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. No one said anything for a while, but stepped forward to make way for the two people and lifted the curtain.

Wait for Gu Mingheng to carry Mingjin in.

Aunt Pei and the others were afraid that if they followed them in, the noise would be too loud and would wake up the princess, so they stayed outside and asked Brother Ying what had happened.

Brother Ying didn't hide it either.

After hearing this, the three of them were shocked and angry.

Sometimes he talked about Zhou Zhaoru, sometimes he talked about Ming Yao, he was so angry.

In the room, Gu Mingheng pulled Mingjin's cloak off and put it on the bed.

Maybe it’s because I’m in a familiar environment and smell a familiar smell.

At this moment, Ming Jin's frowning brows relaxed a lot.

Gu Mingheng just sat by the bed and looked at her, taking a hot towel and wiping Mingjin's face and hands.

After a long time.

He stood up and carefully tucked the quilt for Mingjin before leaving.

Lest she catch a cold.

Aunt Pei and the others outside saw him coming out and hurriedly stood up and called out, "Prince."

Gu Mingheng nodded: "Go in and take care of her. She's asleep. Be quiet and don't wake her up."

Aunt Pei and others should naturally be the ones.

Gu Mingheng added, "I will take care of what happens next. Let your mistress have a good rest. I will come back to her after I'm done."

I have already learned about this from Brother Ying.

Several people also understood what he was talking about and nodded again.

Gu Mingheng didn't let them see him off and went out on his own.

Got outside.

Qing Xin is still guarding outside.

When he saw him coming out, he immediately jumped off the carriage and said, "Master."

Gu Mingheng hummed softly.

He stepped onto the carriage and ordered, "Go to Wuchengsi."

He had already learned from Zhuo Qian what had happened tonight, and he also knew that An Cheng was dead.

At this time, the palace gates were already locked.

Although it is not difficult for him to enter the palace.

But Gu Mingheng still did not enter the palace at this time.

My royal brother hasn't had a good rest these days because of the affairs of Mingyue Tower and his brothers. Now that he has come to the palace to tell people about this, I'm afraid my royal brother won't be able to sleep well tonight.

At this time, Wu Ji and Zhuo Qian were both in Wuchengsi watching Xiao Jian and the others.

Gu Mingheng planned to go to Wuchengsi tonight and ask people to go outside the city to salvage An Cheng's body to see if there was any way to bring the remains back.

An Cheng is his niece after all.

Even if there was some grudge, death was the greatest thing, so he still wanted to bring the person back and bury him properly if possible.

Otherwise she would become a wandering ghost and not even have a proper burial.

Qing Xin should be.

The carriage left the alley and headed for the government office of Wuchengsi.

……

The next day.

Gu Mingheng entered the palace alone before dawn.

There was no morning court today, so Emperor Zhenguang met him in his own bedroom.

He had a rare good sleep last night, and when he woke up today, he felt much more relaxed. When he saw Gu Mingheng coming in, he smiled at him and asked, "Why did you come to the palace so early today?"

"It's just right. I haven't had breakfast yet. Please accompany me."

"Brother Imperial——"

After Gu Mingheng came in, he knelt directly in front of Emperor Zhenguang and said in a serious tone: "An Cheng is in trouble."

The smile on Emperor Zhenguang's face froze at this moment.

at the same time.

Empress Xian woke up from her dream.

She hadn't slept well for a few days. After drinking ginseng soup yesterday, she didn't know whether it was because the ginseng soup had a calming effect or she was just too tired these days, but she didn't wake up again.

Just a night of nightmares.

Sometimes I dreamed that something happened to Xuan'er, and sometimes I dreamed that something happened to Ancheng. I was really exhausted from sleeping.

Until dawn, she suddenly felt a palpitation, as if she was falling into an abyss and feeling weightless.

Amid the rapid heartbeat like a drum, Empress Xian shouted "An Cheng" in a lost voice, then opened her eyes and sat up, awakened by the nightmarish feeling of weightlessness.

Rong Yu and She Hua, who had not slept all night, were talking outside.

The palace gates have been opened and they have sent people out to investigate the situation.

The princess did not come back all night, which was really worrying.

I just hope that she slept in the Xiao Mansion last night, then when the princess comes back, they will accept the punishment.

Both of them looked unhappy.

Suddenly hearing this voice coming from the inner hall, both Rong Yu and She Hua were startled.

Rong Yu came to his senses first, suppressed his emotions and was about to go in immediately.

Shehua grabbed her sleeve and said, "Auntie..."

Rong Yu glanced at her coldly.

"You'd better pray that the princess is okay. If something happens to the princess, no one can save you even if you have nine lives!"

After Rong Yu finished speaking, he ignored She Hua's pale face and walked in.

Shehua watched people go in, then knelt on the ground crying, but she didn't dare let others see her. She quickly wiped her face and went to Xihua Gate to find Xiao Yizi to inquire about the situation.

"Miss."

Rong Yu lifted the curtain and went in.

Seeing Empress Xian sitting on the bed, her face covered in sweat and extremely pale, she was startled and her steps became much faster: "My queen, what's wrong with you?"

Empress Xian is still having trouble breathing.

The feeling of weightlessness in the dream was so strong. The suffocating, painful, and stabbing pain that seemed to be gripping her heart and screaming seemed to still linger in her chest.

And there were those sharp and painful cries of "Mother".

Empress Xian was breathing heavily.

He looked even worse than a few days ago.

It was not until Rong Yu fed her some warm water that she gradually came to her senses.

She said to Rong Yu in a hoarse voice: "I dreamed that something happened to An Cheng."

When Rong Yu heard this, he froze and his expression changed instantly.

Her heart was pounding.

It was so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of my throat.

The hand holding the teacup was shaking.

After Empress Xian noticed it, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

How could Rong Yu dare to answer?

She immediately forced a smile and evaded the question, "It's nothing. I was just startled." She put the teacup aside and took the opportunity to turn aside, away from Concubine Xian's gaze. She heaved a sigh of relief and replied, "But dreams are all fake. The princess is fine. How could anything happen to her?"

Empress Xian thought about it and agreed.

"you are right."

In that dream, An Cheng fell off a cliff, but there was no such place in the palace. She probably had been overworked and worried recently, so she had such a nightmare.

But I'm still worried.

When Concubine Xian lifted the quilt and was about to get up, she still said, "I'll go see her after breakfast."

"I slapped her last time, and I'm afraid she still hates me."

When Empress Xian said this, she couldn't help but sigh.

She has loved her daughter since she was a child.

Compared to the great expectations she had for Xuan'er since she was a child, Empress Xian never wanted her own daughter to be involved in too many schemes and calculations. She only wanted her to grow up happily and safely.

Sometimes she regretted raising him to be this spoiled person.

It would be great if she weren't so spoiled.

How much worry can she save?

But An Cheng was her daughter after all, the apple of her eye after ten months of pregnancy.

How could she be willing to really treat her coldly?

She thought, doesn't she like the boy from the Ming family? She would use this incident to make peace with her later. I think she would be satisfied and would not care about the slap anymore.

At this time now.

Xuan'er didn't know what to do. She really didn't want to argue with her daughter anymore.

But when Rongyu heard this, he immediately became anxious.

The princess hasn't come back yet. If the queen goes there now, won't the matter be hidden? She was just about to think of a way to stop it.

Suddenly I heard someone rushing in from outside.

Although I hadn't seen anyone yet, I could tell from the footsteps that someone was running in.

"Who is so rude?" Concubine Xian frowned.

She has never had such an unruly person under her command.

Is it possible——

Her heart skipped a beat. Did something happen to Xuan'er?

Rong Yu also came back to his senses.

She heard it too, and looked at the palace maid outside who stumbled in with an anxious look on her face.

Her heart sank and she was about to scold him.

But before she could open her mouth, the palace maid came crawling in.

"My lady, something happened!"

"Princess, Princess..."

Upon hearing this, both Rong Yu and Concubine Xian's expressions changed.

I thought it was Xuan Er who was in trouble, but I didn't expect it was An Cheng... After Empress Xian was stunned, she thought of that terrible dream and immediately asked anxiously, "What happened to An Cheng?"

The maid knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, crying, "The princess... has passed away!"
