The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Thirteen thought more and more that something was wrong, so she sat up from the quilt again and asked Liu Niang anxiously, "Nanny, my mother was about to give birth, why did she run so far to burn incense?"

Liu Niang was stunned by the question. She thought for a moment and replied, "It's been a long time, and I can't remember clearly. It seems that after the master left the capital, news came back to the capital, saying that the matter was dangerous and the master encountered assassination attempts many times, which frightened the lady."

"It just so happened that Miss Su was pregnant at this time. It was said that her husband's family treated her badly and looked down on her because she was an orphan with no one to rely on. If she couldn't give birth to a boy, they would ask her husband to give her a concubine. She came back and cried to her wife, saying that she wanted to burn incense and pray that she could give birth to a boy safely, so that she could secure her position in her husband's family."

"After she said that, Madam also wanted to pray for the safe return of the Master. So the two of them went together."

Lady Liu sighed, "Madam and Master have been childhood sweethearts and have a deep relationship. She was too worried about Master who was away from the capital, so she rashly went to burn incense. I thought Madam was close to giving birth, and it was too dangerous for her to go so far at this time. But Madam insisted on going, and I couldn't stop her."

Thirteen sighed. Once his mother learned the news that his father was in danger, she would definitely be extremely worried. If his mother was not in good health, she might have been frightened and have a miscarriage after hearing the bad news.

In his previous life, Thirteen had been among those ladies for a long time, and he had heard and seen a lot of the secretive and vicious methods in the harem. When he heard it today, he felt that the news about Daddy must have been passed on to Mom by someone with ulterior motives, but seeing that Mommy was fine, he came up with another plan. Knowing that Mommy and Daddy had a deep relationship, he tricked Mom out of the house under the pretext of praying for blessings so that he could take action on the way.

Thirteen asked Liu Niang again, "Nurse, my mother was frightened and had a miscarriage, so Miss Su was fine?" Liu Niang was surprised and replied, "Yes, I said Miss Su was in good health at that time. She was frightened, but she helped Madam find a doctor overnight and stayed with Madam all night. In the end, it was Miss Su who was afraid that Madam would be sad, so she took people to bury the eldest lady."

What a coincidence! It was Su Peiyun who suggested burning incense, Su Peiyun who found the doctor, and Su Peiyun who buried the dead child. There are many things that can be done here.

Thinking of how similar he looked to Madam Xinhe, and thinking of the strange mother that Madam Xinhe had mentioned, Thirteen asked Liu Niang again, "Nanny, have you ever seen the child from Miss Su's family?"

Liu Niang immediately replied, "Miss Su returned to the Qin Mansion alone. It is said that her husband's family did not allow her to take the child with her. Every time Miss Su went to see the child, she was turned away and came back crying. It was really pitiful! So our family has never seen the child."

Thirteen fell into deep thought. There was so much abnormality in all of this. And if there really was a problem as he thought, then it seemed a little impossible for Su Peiyun to accomplish so many things by herself.

If there are really problems with these things, a lot of people are needed behind the scenes. Su Peiyun is the daughter of a minor official. Even if she has been in the Qin Mansion for many years and has recruited some people under her, she should not have such great abilities!

Thirteen felt like there was a fog in front of him, but he just couldn't find where to start, so he shook his head in embarrassment. Liu Niang looked at Thirteen with his round black eyes staring at him, frowning like a little adult, as if he was thinking about something important.

She gently pressed Thirteen into the quilt again, "Okay, Miss, it's over. You just need to know about these things. Don't bother thinking about them anymore, and don't ask Madam again to make her sad. It's getting late, Miss, go to bed."

Thirteen knew that he couldn't tell the nanny too much. He was only three years old and couldn't be too mature to avoid suspicion. He still had to find out the truth as a child.

She lay down on the bed obediently. Liu Niang lowered the curtains, told the maid guarding the door to be alert and take good care of the young lady, and then left.

Thirteen lay in bed but couldn't fall asleep. He had many doubts in his mind and wanted to find out what was going on between him and Madam Xinhe.

She quietly got out of bed and took out the three incense sticks given to her by Master Guangji, and lit one first to go back to her previous life to figure out the puzzle she was having. But what if she went back to that moment?

Thirteen wondered if he should go back to the day when his mother gave birth to see what happened. Then he thought again, the incense master only gave him three sticks in total, and he only had three chances to cherish them and use them where they should be used.

If I could go back to the day when my mother gave birth, even if I knew the truth, the incident had already happened in this life and there was no way to prevent the accident.

So when should he go? Shisan looked at the incense in his hand and felt a little embarrassed. How should he make good use of the three chances?

Suddenly, Thirteen remembered that in his previous life, Madam Xinhe was lost at the age of three, and was found and sent back to the Qin Mansion five years later. According to the information found by the secret guards sent by Prime Minister Yu, he happened to be stranded in that small mountain village with his wet nurse when he was three years old. Five years later, he was killed again, and Madam Xinhe also returned to the Qin Mansion at that time.

There were many overlaps in important moments of his life and Madam Xinhe's life, except that Madam Xinhe was the daughter of the prime minister who had been lost and found again, and was loved even more by her father and mother, while he suffered repeated misfortunes and even caused the death of his wet nurse.

At the same time, he and Mrs. Xinhe were facing two completely different life paths, which were worlds apart. So who was the lost child?

Moreover, the most important thing for him right now is to find out his true identity. He does not want to live another life as a lonely soul in someone else's body.

After finding out his own life experience, he can continue to investigate the identity of Mrs. Xinhe, and then know who his relatives are so that he can bravely protect them.

There are so many doubts about my life experience. Just now, I heard Liu Niang talking about the twins that my mother was pregnant with. Because Su Peiyun was involved, Thirteen now doubted whether the so-called dead child was dead or not.

In addition, as a close servant of the lady, the wet nurse had been taking care of the young lady. What kind of circumstances could have caused the wet nurse and a child to be stranded in a foreign land, spending five years in ignorance, and then under what circumstances were they still hunted down relentlessly? There are too many suspicious points here.

When Master Guangji gave you these three incense sticks, he only said that you had three chances, but he didn't explain how many time points you could cross when you traveled back to your previous life. Whatever, just give it a try.

Thirteen lit the first stick of incense and knelt down devoutly: "Thirteen lived a lonely life in his previous life. He was confused and didn't know who he was or where his relatives were. In the end, he died as someone else. I am so lucky to have this adventure with the mercy of God. I hope I can find out my own life experience this time. I hope God will have mercy on me and help me to achieve my wish this time."

After finishing the prayer, Thirteen quickly lay down on the bed. The smoke of incense rose up, and soon, Thirteen felt himself floating up. He looked down and saw the chubby little girl lying unconscious on the bed. It was obvious that his soul had left the girl's body.

Shisan was a little worried. If he found out that he was the real Xin'er, it would be fine. If not, Shisan would be reluctant to leave such a warm family. He had never had such a warm family in his previous life. Such happiness was what he longed for.

Thirteen thought of what Master Guangji had said to him in the temple. There were risks in traveling between two lives, and the master advised him to just live his life like this. But Thirteen did not regret his choice, and he did not come back for a glorious life.

In his previous life, he didn't know which evil person had played with his fate, and he lived a short life in confusion. He had few relatives, and the only memory he had was the little warmth his nanny gave him. As a secret guard, he was just a poor substitute who couldn't have his own name. He was in love for the first time, but he couldn't get the love he wanted. Thirteen was very unwilling to accept it.

Now that I can start over again and have such an adventure, I must not live in obscurity for the sake of comfort. I must find out my origins, even if it means my soul will be torn apart.

If it were to be discovered that he was not Miss Xin'er, Thirteen was not willing to pretend to be someone else and live in confusion. Thinking of this, Thirteen closed his eyes and watched the smoke gradually fade away, not knowing where it would drift to.

Thirteen felt himself floating higher and higher, and then farther and farther away. After a while, he suddenly heard a woman's shrill cries. The voice sounded so familiar.

Thirteen opened his eyes and found that he had floated to a remote mountain village. The voice he heard at this moment came from a farmhouse at the entrance of the village.

"Madam, Madam, you can't fall asleep! Open your eyes and look at Liu Niang!" Madam? Liu Niang? Is this my mother and my wet nurse?

The farmhouse had a medium-sized courtyard with three tiled houses facing north. It looked like one of the better houses in the village. In the courtyard stood a group of panicked maids and servants, and some guards were standing around the courtyard.

Thirteen was looking around when suddenly, someone rushed out of the room and shouted anxiously to the maids and servants, "Hurry, the Madam is about to give birth. Go to the village and find a midwife or doctor. Go quickly and tell them that we will reward them handsomely."

Thirteen looked closely and found it was Liu Niang. Thirteen suddenly understood that he had come to the time when Liu Niang had just mentioned that his mother's carriage was disturbed on the way back from burning incense and the fetus was about to give birth.

Thirteen was a little anxious. He had just thought that even if he returned to this moment, he would not be able to undo what had happened. Why did he come to this time again? Wouldn't the incense be wasted?

Thirteen was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do. After lighting the sandalwood, it seemed that he had no control over where he could go. Since he had already floated here, he would go and see if his mother was in danger.

Thirteen followed the anxious Liu Niang into the room where his mother was resting. As expected, he saw Ji Wanran lying on the farmer's earthen kang with a bulging belly that looked bigger than that of an average pregnant woman.

Ji Wanran stroked her belly with a painful expression: "Don't be afraid, baby, mother is fine, mother will definitely give birth to you safely."

Perhaps it was a sharp pain that came over her, Ji Wanran cried out in pain again. Liu Niang held Ji Wanran's hand distressedly, "Madam, this morning I advised you not to come out to burn incense, you didn't listen to me, and sure enough something happened. This place is very remote, far from the capital, and it's hard to find a good doctor or midwife. You...you are like this again, what can I do?"

Ji Wanran endured the severe pain, cold sweat ran down her face, and she comforted Liu Niang: "Liu Niang, don't be afraid. This is also an unexpected accident. I thought the baby was still two months away from being born, so there should be no problem. I was also too worried about Mingxuan. The news was too terrible. Peiyun said that the incense here is effective, so I thought about praying for my husband and wishing him a safe return. Who knew there would be such an accident."

Ji Wanran looked around and asked, "By the way, how is Peiyun? Isn't she pregnant too? Is she okay?"

Liu Niang wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "My cousin is in good health. The carriage was frightened just now, but my cousin is fine. I am going to find a doctor for Madam now."

Ji Wanran breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, Peiyun is fine. Grandpa treats Peiyun as if she were his own daughter. If anything happens, how will I explain to Grandpa? Go quickly and find Peiyun. Don't let her get tired."

Liu Niang agreed and told a little girl to go look for Su Peiyun. "Madam, don't worry about other people. Just take care of yourself. Don't let anything happen to you."

Thirteen watched his mother endure the pain, and felt extremely distressed, but he was still powerless. Thirteen found that even though he had traveled through time, he still had no control over what was happening now, and he could only watch everything happening in front of him as an outsider.

When he heard his mother mention Su Peiyun, Thirteen suddenly realized that he had doubts about this strange woman before he traveled back in time. Why would she be so kind as to help Ji Wanran find a doctor? There must be something fishy going on.

Thirteen hurriedly floated out of the room and looked around for Su Peiyun. Behind a gable, a man and a woman were standing in the shadows, talking furtively.

Thirteen floated towards the two of them, squatted on the mountain wall and looked down carefully. It was indeed Su Peiyun. But Thirteen did not recognize the man next to him.

The man was tall, dressed like a guard, with a broadsword on his waist. Wait, isn't this the same attire as the guards in the Qin Mansion?

The guards in the Qin Mansion were all carefully trained by Lord Qin Mingxuan. They wore uniform clothes, weapons, and had Qin Mansion badges on their waists.

Qin Mingxuan was very confident in the guards in the mansion. Whenever his mother was going out, his father would send guards to accompany her and protect her safety.

It was obvious that this man was the guard that my mother brought with her on this incense-burning trip. And judging from his clothes, which were different from those of ordinary guards, he must be a small leader.

Even though Su Peiyun was of humble origin, she had been raised in the Qin mansion for many years. Everyone called her "Miss Cousin" and she was highly respected by the servants in the mansion. Because Su Peiyun was well taken care of by the old man, her status in the Qin mansion was still not low.

But it was very strange that she was so familiar with a guard and had to hide here to discuss something.
