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

When Gu Mingheng heard the word "As expected", his heart was immediately confused.

He was speechless for a moment, his mind went blank again: "I..."

He looked at Ming Jin and tried to explain, but he couldn't. He could only say dryly, "I'm not trying to do anything. I'm just... afraid that something might happen to you."

Ming Jin nodded, showing his understanding.

She had felt something was wrong before, as if someone was following her.

But after careful inspection, there were no clues.

She didn't want to go looking for him in a big way. Firstly, she didn't know whether such a person really existed. Secondly, she was afraid that if he really existed, she would inevitably alert the enemy by doing so.

Asking Gu Mingheng this doesn't mean she has any real evidence.

In fact, she was just trying to trick him to see if it was really true. If not, she was just overthinking it.

It's not a big deal, just a misunderstanding.

But I didn't expect that she actually guessed it right.

That day, the two servants of the Sun family were suddenly arrested, and the Beijing government officials attacked Sun Chen regardless of the prince. This was too coincidental, both in terms of timing and other factors.

She began to doubt the difference between Gu Mingheng and Gu Changxuan.

But after hearing her grandmother talk about what Gu Mingheng had done over the years, she was sure in her heart who did it.

Since Gu Mingheng had seen her in Yingzhou as early as before, even if he himself didn't know that she went to find Hua Sui that day, the people around him must have known.

It is understandable why he took action against the two servants afterwards.

No wonder the guards kept saying on the way back that the journey was more peaceful than the journey there. She didn't think much about it at first, but now she understands what's going on.

Tell the truth.

Mingjin was really unfamiliar with this kind of protection.

It’s not that I feel uncomfortable, but it’s just… a little unexpected.

Over the years, she has been used to being alone and relying on herself for everything. She didn't expect that someone would protect her like this behind the scenes... This really makes people at a loss for words.

She lowered her head and said nothing for a moment.

Seeing her like this, Gu Mingheng became even more panicked.

"I didn't mean to inquire about your daily life. Qing Xin only reported some incidents of you being bullied. I... was really just worried about you and afraid that something might happen to you."

Mingjin came back to his senses after listening to his explanation.

Looking up, she saw the man in front of her, who was dressed in black and had a noble and handsome appearance, looking at her with a pale face.

Ming Jin was surprised to see him like this.

In the past, she had not had much contact with the King of Chang'an, and on the few times they met, he rarely spoke.

His identity and silence also prevent people from acting recklessly in front of him.

Therefore, every time Ming Jin came into contact with him, he was very careful and respectful, for fear of neglecting or accidentally bumping into him.

But at this moment, looking at his pale face and panicked expression.

How is it the same as I remember?

It's hard to say what my mood was at that moment. Of course I was surprised, and perhaps also felt some novelty. The man who was as precious as a god in my memory suddenly seemed to have come down to earth and seemed not so distant from me.

He looked down, his eyes full of anxiety; while she looked up, her expression remained calm.

The wind blows.

The leaves rustled and the magnolias overhead swayed gently.

Ming Jin finally spoke: "I don't mean to blame the prince."

She knew good from bad and knew that Gu Mingheng did this because he was afraid that she would be bullied when she first returned home, but she still declined politely.

"But let's leave it at that. That Qing...Xin?" Ming Jin recalled the name Gu Mingheng had mentioned just now and asked him, "He should be the prince's bodyguard, right?"

Gu Mingheng replied hoarsely: "Yes..."

Ming Jin said: "Since he is the prince's guard, I think he is not an ordinary person. It is inevitable that he is a bit of a waste of talent to follow a girl like me. Please let him go back, prince."

"Now that my grandmother has returned, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about me being bullied anymore."

"……it is good."

Gu Mingheng agreed in a hoarse voice.

He originally wanted Qingxin to stay until his aunt came back.

If others knew about it, it would inevitably be detrimental to her reputation. Gu Mingheng did not expect that she would find out.

The calmer her expression, the more embarrassed he became.

Gu Mingheng felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life, so embarrassed that he started sweating on his back.

"I'll ask him to come back immediately when I get back." He said to Ming Jin in a hoarse voice.

Ming Jin nodded.

She had said everything she wanted to say.

At this time, I didn't say anything more to Gu Mingheng.

Ming Jin bowed slightly and greeted the person, then walked to the other side.

Gu Mingheng watched her leave without calling her. After she walked away, he left immediately.

If there were any familiar people here at this time, they would definitely notice that he was leaving in a panic.

Mingjin was walking aside.

Her grandmother hasn't come out yet, and she doesn't know when she'll come out, so she's feeling a little bored.

When Guan Qing saw Gu Mingheng leaving, she came over again.

"Miss, do you want to go for a stroll in the Imperial Garden?" She was thinking that girls always love colorful things, and there are many precious flowers in the Imperial Garden.

What girl doesn’t like flowers?

This Ming girl will definitely like it.

Ming Jin was silent for a moment and did not refuse.

After thanking Guan Qing, he was accompanied out.

Along the way, Guan Qing continued to introduce the things around him to Mingjin. Facing this familiar scene, Mingjin did not say anything and just nodded and listened.

Gu Changxuan came to pay his respects to Empress Xian.

He was accompanied by a eunuch on the way, and suddenly he saw Guan Qing walking slowly with a woman not far away.

The woman was wearing a goose yellow brocade dress and had her hair combed into a single spiral bun. At this moment, her back was facing him.

I can't see her face, but looking at her slim back, I can imagine that the owner of this back must be very beautiful.

There was no fluctuation in Gu Changxuan's eyes.

He just asked calmly: "Who is that?"

There are no women in the Yuan family, so the person who can have Guan Qing accompany him like this must be of high status.

The eunuch was originally walking with his head down, but when he heard Gu Changxuan's voice, he looked up.

I only saw Guan Qing.

He guessed the identity of the woman next to her.

He whispered to Gu Changxuan, "It should be the daughter of the Anyuan Marquis's family. Princess Fuhua brought her to the palace to see His Majesty and the Queen today."

When Gu Changxuan heard this name, he suddenly frowned.

He didn't say anything for a moment, just stood there with a frown looking in Mingjin's direction. Before Mingjin turned his head, he left with the eunuchs and went to find Concubine Xian.

He was afraid that his aunt came to the palace for the purpose of their marriage.

Although he didn't really want to marry Mingyao, he couldn't marry her even more. It would be better for him to resolve this matter as soon as possible so that he could feel at ease.

He suddenly quickened his pace.

When Ming Jin turned around, he saw Gu Changxuan leaving.

The young man was dressed in brocade and wore a jade crown on his head.

Although it was just a silhouette from behind, Ming Jin recognized him immediately.

Ming Jin had thought about the scene of meeting Gu Changxuan. Ming Jin thought that she would not be able to control her emotions, but now she stood there watching the young man leave, and her mood was surprisingly calm.

No complaints, no disgust.

She was so calm, as if she was seeing just a stranger. Apart from the surprise and pause at the beginning, Ming Jin didn't have any other emotions.

Before Guan Qing even noticed, she withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the colorful flowers in front of her, which she did not like that much.

Guan Qing seemed to sense something and looked back.

When she saw Gu Changxuan, she was a little surprised, but he was far away, so she didn't call for help.

She withdrew her gaze and was about to continue introducing the varieties of these flowers to Mingjin.

Glancing at the woman beside her from the corner of her eye, she suddenly thought of the engagement they had made when they were children, but now she didn't know who to give it to.

She was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't until she heard Mingjin's voice "Aunt Qing" that she came back to her senses.

Without waiting for Mingjin to ask, she quickly put away her thoughts and introduced the flowers in front of her to others.

Ming Jin glanced at her and did not miss her previous distraction.

Knowing what she was thinking, Ming Jin didn't say much and let her continue introducing.
