The little dark guard who travels between two lives

The air in the Queen's Palace was filled with joy because of the presence of Xinhe and her brother.

Outside the palace, in a restaurant in the capital, a figure covered in a cloak walked in. A man dressed as an attendant nodded at her and asked her to follow him. The man in the cloak followed the attendant up to a private room on the second floor.

As soon as the man in the cloak entered the room, he saw a young man sitting in the upper seat. It was Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng, who always greeted people with a smile like a warm spring breeze in the court, now had a gloomy face and was sipping a cup of tea.

Seeing someone coming in, a cold look suddenly flew over, like a cold arrow, making the man in the cloak tremble all over.

The man in the cloak was so frightened that he fell to his knees and begged for his crime: "I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

In a panic, the cloak fell to the ground, revealing a face full of panic. It was Lin Ma, the wet nurse of the eldest daughter of the Qin family.

King Cheng put down the cup in his hand, adjusted his sleeves calmly, smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, and asked: "Mother Lin, please come forward."

Hearing this, Lin Ma trembled all over, but she didn't dare to go forward. She crawled on her knees and took two steps, getting closer to Prince Cheng.

Cheng Wang leaned over and pinched Lin Ma's chin with his fingers. Lin Ma felt a pain but dared not make a sound. Cheng Wang looked at Lin Ma carefully, sneered, and then slapped Lin Ma in the face, causing her to stagger and fall to the ground.

Mother Lin didn't dare to cry out in pain, she immediately got up and knelt down properly, but her hands couldn't stop shaking. She knew too well the cruel methods of the person in the upper seat, and if this person got angry, she would most likely lose her life.

King Cheng picked up a brocade handkerchief, wiped his hands carefully, and then threw it on the ground in disgust.

King Cheng looked at Mother Lin, who was kneeling on the ground and shaking, and asked nonchalantly, "Are you scared now? What did I tell you when that girl from the Qin family returned to Beijing?"

Mother Lin's face turned pale and she quickly replied, "The prince has instructed me to take good care of the young lady and help her quickly gain the favor of Lord Qin and his wife. I also want to help her quickly gain a foothold in the capital and become famous in the capital, so that everyone knows that the young lady is a lady from a wealthy family who is not inferior to the noble ladies in the capital in terms of music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"You remember it clearly, but how did you do it?" King Cheng took a sip of tea and continued to ask.

Mother Lin quickly leaned forward and replied, "I did what the prince ordered. The young lady is now the apple of Madam Qin's eye. Even the young master of the Qin Mansion is not as favored as the eldest young lady."

"Moreover, the young lady enjoys a good reputation among the noble ladies in the capital, and the princes in the palace also like her very much." After hearing Lin Ma's answer, King Cheng sneered.

"From what you said, it seems that you have made great contributions. Should I reward you?"

Mother Lin immediately knocked her head to the ground: "I dare not, I am guilty, it is because of this that the young lady angered the master and was confined. I am guilty!"

When King Cheng heard this, he got angry again and stepped forward and kicked Lin Ma: "You idiot! You almost ruined my good plan."

"I had clearly instructed that the girl must be liked by the Qin and Yu families, and that she must also have a good relationship with the second girl in the Qin family. Even if she has to pretend, she must pretend to have a close sisterly relationship. Because the emperor and the empress like her, if Qingyan has a good relationship with her sister, she can use Xinhe to quickly gain the trust of Qin Mingxuan and Yu Huaian, and integrate into the palace as soon as possible."

"But you, a slut, you have been guiding and assisting her, and you only know how to teach her your jealous tricks."

"She learned to be petty and do some mean things. As a result, the queen disliked her and sent people to reprimand her. She lost all her face. What's the point of only getting Madam Qin's protection?"

"I asked you two to come back because you were going to be of great use to me, but now you have offended the Queen and made her dislike Qingyan. Do you know that this has ruined my plans? You are so stupid! You deserve to die!"

"Don't think I don't know what you did in the Qin Mansion. I sent someone to teach you how to poison people. How could you hide it from me?"

"No matter what happened between you and Ji Wanran, I don't care whether Ji Wanran lives or dies. But I warn you, if you dare to use your dirty thoughts to ruin my plans in the Qin Mansion again, I will peel off your skin!"

Mother Lin instinctively felt that the cold eyes had been staring at her. She always thought that she had secretly drugged Ji Wanran through Qin Qingyan without anyone knowing.

Now it seems that all of my actions are under the control of the prince. This means that I am not the only one who is under the prince's control in the Qin Mansion, but there are other people under the prince's control hiding in the corners and monitoring me.

Mother Lin was sweating profusely and kept kowtowing and apologizing.

King Cheng glanced at Mother Lin with contempt, and then said: "It's time for the eldest daughter of the Qin family to be under house arrest. Remind her not to go against Qin Xinhe in the future. That girl is not a simple character."

Prince Cheng recalled the day when Shen Tuo staged a coup in the palace, when the girl from the Qin family stood in front of the Queen without fear, and the look that the child gave him, which made Prince Cheng particularly uncomfortable, as if he was her enemy.

However, King Cheng was sure that he had never had any dealings with a maid, and had no open conflicts with the Qin family, yet the way this maid looked at him seemed as if she had known him for a long time.

What made King Cheng even more afraid was the way the child looked at him, as if he knew a lot about him. He had also sent people to investigate, and there was nothing special about a child who grew up in the Qin Mansion and was loved by the Queen and the Emperor.

King Cheng felt that this girl would cause great trouble to his grand plan, but he couldn't find out why, so he had to let it go for the time being.

He looked at Mother Lin and said, "The palace is going to select concubines for the crown prince and the princes of appropriate age. Tell Qin Qingyan to prepare to enter the palace for selection. I will help her become the crown princess, so tell her to prepare well and not let me down."

After hearing this, Mother Lin raised her head abruptly: "Your Highness, the Queen in the palace already dislikes the eldest daughter, how could she agree to let her enter the palace to be the Crown Princess? I'm afraid..."

The prince's face darkened and he said: "You cannot question my orders. All you have to do is to obey and carry them out!" Mother Lin was so scared that she immediately lowered her head and said yes.

After King Cheng finished speaking about this, he remembered something and said, "Stop giving Ji Wanran the medicine you gave her. Before Qin Qingyan becomes the Crown Princess, I don't want her to miss this opportunity because she has to observe mourning for her mother."

After that, he threw a piece of paper to Lin Ma and said in a cold voice: "According to the secret order, someone will give you the items you need. Take a look, and destroy them after you finish reading."

Mother Lin quickly scanned the secret order and her face changed, but she didn't dare to say anything. She quickly memorized the contents of the secret order in her mind, then stuffed it in her mouth and swallowed it with difficulty.

King Cheng then picked up the teacup and said coldly: "Go down, remember what I said, if you dare to do it again, you know the consequences!"
