The little dark guard who travels between two lives

After dinner, Ji Wanran went to deal with the affairs of the back house, while Qin Mingxuan went to the study to handle government affairs. Yu Shen followed Qin Mingxuan to the study. After Qin Mingxuan finished handling the government affairs, he guided Yu Shen in reading.

As for Xin He, Liu Niang led her to the garden to catch butterflies. Xin He got up in the morning and encouraged herself to learn skills, but the whole family thought she was still asleep and talking in her sleep. Xin He felt that no one understood her and she was very depressed. After walking into the garden and looking at the chrysanthemums blooming in the yard, she suddenly realized that her father was really fooling her by asking Liu Niang to take her to catch butterflies.

It's not spring now, it's already late autumn, how can you catch butterflies? Xin He angrily sent Liu Niang to lead the little girls to catch butterflies, so that they could experience how the deceitful Lord Qin tortured people.

Xin He sat on the stone bench in the garden in frustration, looking up at the sky with melancholy. As a person who got a chance to be reborn, oh no, it should be a lucky ghost. Lucky to have a chance to be reborn, but I am just a three-year-old kid. It seems that I can't do anything except eating and playing. I know where the enemy is but I can't do anything. This feeling is really terrible.

Xin He carefully recalled the scenes of her past life. She remembered that Su Peiyun attacked her during the Lantern Festival, and her father was assassinated at the same time. It was already the end of October in the lunar calendar, and there were still two and a half months until the Lantern Festival.

In these two and a half months, I have to first figure out what is going on in the court, find out the specific identities of the imperial concubine and the prince, and find out why they want to harm my father.

In the past, in the Dark Guard Camp, the adults once said that knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. Now I only know that Su Peiyun is not a good person, but I don’t know about other bigger villains. These enemies hiding in the dark are very dangerous.

As a little kid who knew nothing, Xinhe held her big head in her hands, thinking over and over again, but it felt like a mess and she didn't know where to start.

At this time, behind the bushes behind the stone bench, two little girls were whispering to each other, their voices deliberately kept very low, as if they were talking about something very mysterious.

As a secret guard in the previous life, it has almost become the instinct of the secret guard to find out all the secrets. Xinhe immediately pricked up his ears and moved closer to the bushes.

"Hey, do you know that I heard that our master has a bad lover in the palace?"

"Really? Didn't they say that cousin has a crush on our master? What's going on in the palace?"

"You may not know, but I heard from an old lady in this mansion that when our master won the first place in the imperial examination, he rode a horse and paraded through the streets, which attracted many young ladies, who all wanted to marry our master."

"Our master and his wife have a childhood sweetheart relationship, which is beyond their imagination. Our master and his wife are such a perfect match!"

"Who says it's not true? Although the Madam is not the most beautiful, she is gentle and virtuous, and treats us servants very well. It is our blessing to follow such a master. By the way, who is the bad peach blossom you are talking about?"

The little girl's voice became even lower, and she said more mysteriously: "The current empress dowager's niece, Shen Qingxiao."

"What? Isn't that Concubine Shen from the palace? How could it be?" The little girl who heard the news screamed in surprise, but was immediately covered by the little girl opposite her: "Shh, keep your voice down, have you forgotten that Madam forbids us to talk nonsense? If someone hears you making such a loud noise, we will both be beaten."

The two little girls stood up and looked around with lingering fear, but they didn't see the dwarf hiding under the bushes. They hurried out of the garden.

Xin He felt that the garden was a good place to get secret information. Last time in the garden, she heard the rumor that Yu Shen was a disaster star. Today, she heard important news again in the garden. Concubine Shen in the palace was still her father's bad love.

Xinhe didn't know whether to be sad or happy. Her father was a very elegant and likable man, but he attracted so many bad peaches, which was really a headache!

Su Peiyun in the mansion is already a headache, and there is also a high and mighty Concubine Shen in the palace. The key is that these two women are in the same group. They probably regard their mother as an enemy. People say that the enemy of my enemy is my friend. No wonder Su Peiyun is related to the concubine.

Xin He patted his head. Oh, my head hurts! Su Peiyun is already vicious enough. I wonder what kind of character this Concubine Shen is. My mother must know this Concubine. I should go to my mother to find out about this Concubine. After making up her mind, Xin He immediately became full of fighting spirit.

She clapped her hands and jumped down from the stone bench, which scared Liu Niang who was standing next to her. She hurriedly pretended to help her up for fear that she would fall.

Xinhe felt that although he no longer had the martial arts skills from his previous life, his physical fitness was still very good. He felt much more relaxed when jumping around than other children of the same age.

She looked at Liu Niang who was worried, and quickly comforted her: "Nanny, don't worry, Xin'er is still very capable. Let's go, I miss my mother, I'm going to find her."

After saying that, Xin He took her short legs and ran to find her mother. Her mother was also a noble lady, so she must know some things in the palace.

"Mother, mother, our daughter is here. Did you miss her?" Ji Wanran had just listened to the servants and old women in the mansion report on various affairs and was checking the account books when she heard the baby voice of her little girl outside the door. Then a pair of chubby little hands climbed on the door frame, and then a big head popped out, looking at her with eyes as big as crescent moons.

Ji Wanran looked at her little girl who had just been out for less than an hour, and replied with a chuckle, "Yes, I miss her very much. Mother misses her daughter too."

Hearing that her mother missed her too, Miss Xinhe felt very satisfied. Without waiting for Liu Niang to hold her, she lifted her short legs and was about to step over the threshold into her mother's arms. Unfortunately, she was too excited, the threshold was too high, and her legs were too short. With a "bang", Miss Xinhe fell to the ground. Fortunately, her clothes were not thin, so it didn't hurt, but it was very embarrassing.

Xinhe lay on the ground feeling ashamed. He had been a skilled secret guard in his previous life, but now he was tripped by a small threshold and fell to the ground. It was so embarrassing!

Ji Wanran and Liu Niang both cried out in surprise and reached out to hug Xin He. Before their hands could reach out, our Miss Xin He had already climbed up quickly and swiftly.

After Xinhe stood up, she patted the dirt off her body, and then looked at the maids and old women around her with her big eyes blinking. She looked at them one by one and said, "I saw nothing, I saw nothing, you didn't see anything."

Everyone saw Xin He fall down, and they were waiting for the young lady to cry. In the past, the young lady always liked to run around in the mansion, always fell down, and cried loudly every time she fell down.

This time she tripped over the threshold and fell with a loud noise. Everyone thought that the young lady would cry loudly, but this time she did not cry or make a fuss, but just stared at everyone without saying a word.

Ji Wanran finally reacted. Although she was surprised that her daughter didn't cry as loudly as before, looking at her daughter's sneaky look as if she wanted to hide, she immediately realized that the little girl was shy and didn't want everyone to see her embarrassing appearance.

She winked at Liu Niang and waved her hand to let the maids and servants in and out of the house leave. Then she asked the chubby girl as if nothing had happened: "Nannan, were you not having fun in the garden? Why did you come back so soon?"

Xin He found that the maids and servants had all left, and the embarrassed look that had made her want to crawl into the ground just now returned to normal. She pulled her mother's skirt and climbed onto her mother's lap, hugged her understanding mother and asked: "Mother, Xin Er was playing in the garden just now, and heard people talking about our emperor's concubine who is very favored. Xin Er is very curious about what the concubine in the palace is like? Do you know who this concubine is?"

Ji Wanran's face changed when she heard her daughter's words. She didn't expect that the servants in her own house were so unreliable. They actually dared to talk about the concubine behind her back. She was in charge of the affairs of the house and did not manage the servants well. If this news got out, it would bring trouble to her husband.

She called out to Liu Niang to come into the house: "Liu Niang, go and check which servant in the mansion is talking nonsense about the nobles in the palace. If you find out who is not following the rules of the mansion, beat him with ten boards. If anyone breaks the rules again next time, kick him out of the mansion." Liu Niang left immediately.

Xin He hid in her mother's arms and quietly stuck out her tongue. It turned out that her mother was so strict in running the house. She looked up at Ji Wanran, whose face was still not good, and asked timidly: "Mother, why are you angry? Can't this imperial concubine be mentioned?"

Ji Wanran looked at her daughter's big, blinking eyes and sighed. She thought her daughter was still young and didn't want her to know too much. She stroked her daughter's little face and said, "Nannan, you are still young. Don't listen to the gossips of the servants. Besides, we can't talk about the empress in the palace casually. Be obedient, my dear daughter."

Xin He saw that her mother really didn't want to talk about the gossip in the palace, so she gave up the idea of ​​asking her mother for information. She nodded obediently: "Yes, mother, don't be angry. Nannan won't ask again."

Ji Wanran looked at her well-behaved daughter and kissed her forehead: "Okay, mother still has to finish reading the account book. You son, go play with your brother Shen now. Your father has been teaching Shen'er for a long time. Go and let them have a rest. I'll ask Liu Niang to send some cakes later."

Hearing that there were delicious pastries, Xin He happily walked towards Qin Mingxuan's study. Halfway through the journey, she remembered that she had to ask Concubine Shen something. She couldn't ask her mother, and even less so her father. Brother Shen was only eight years old, so he must know nothing.

At this time, Liu Niang was carrying a plate of snacks and walked towards the study. Xin He's eyes lit up. Liu Niang had always been by her mother's side, so she must know Concubine Shen.

She quickly called the nurse, looked around to see that there was no one around, and mysteriously pulled the nurse to sit on a stone bench beside the path. Liu Niang looked at the mysterious young lady and asked with a smile: "Miss, what are you going to do? Madam asked me to bring snacks to the master and the young master. Miss, look, there is also your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake!"

Xin He tried hard to pull the nurse to bend down, and she whispered in her ear: "Nanny, do you know Concubine Shen in the palace?"

The nurse's face changed, and she quickly covered Xin He's mouth: "Miss, Madam has just punished the two maids. She also strictly ordered that no one should make irresponsible comments in the mansion. This servant cannot say anything."

Can't tell? It's not that she doesn't know. The nanny must know about Concubine Shen. Xin He immediately comforted the nanny excitedly: "Mother won't know. Only the two of us know. Xin'er will definitely not go out and tell others about it. Xin'er just heard that Concubine Shen has bad intentions. Xin'er is afraid that she will harm mother, so Xin'er wants to know what kind of person she is so that she can be prepared to protect mother and father!"

Liu Niang looked at the little girl who was like a bean, shouting every day that she wanted to protect her family. She was such a thoughtful and good child, but she was too young after all.

She sighed and said, "Miss, you are still young, you don't understand the things between adults. You just need to know that the relationship between the master and the lady is very good, and it can't be destroyed by a messy person. Don't be afraid, the master will protect the lady."

Xin He saw that Liu Niang was unwilling to tell him about Concubine Shen, so he could only hang his head in frustration. Of course, he knew that his mother and father had a good relationship. But bad people always find opportunities to harm people. If you are not vigilant and unprepared, you will easily fall into their trap. Just like himself in his previous life.

Liu Niang stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into Xinhe's mouth and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and give snacks to the adults and the young master. Don't let Young Master Shen go hungry."

Liu Niang brought Xin He to the study room. Qin Mingxuan's study room was always guarded by someone, and no one was allowed to enter. After Liu Niang asked the servant to report, she saw Qin Mingxuan smiling and opening the door of the study room. Xin He immediately ran towards Daddy with joy, hugged Daddy's legs, raised her face and smiled like a flower: "Daddy, you have worked hard. Nannan brought snacks to Daddy and Brother Shen."

Qin Mingxuan picked up his chubby daughter and walked into the study room. Yu Shen was still practicing calligraphy seriously at his small desk. Yu Shen looked up at Xin He, then lowered his head and continued writing stroke by stroke.

Whenever Xin He saw Yu Shen, she couldn't help but show the obedience of a secret guard to the secret guard leader. She jumped down from Qin Mingxuan's arms, walked to Yu Shen's side in a proper manner, and spoke to Yu Shen in a flattering manner: "Brother Shen, you must be tired. Mother asked Xin'er to tell Brother Shen to take care of himself and rest more! Mother also asked Xin'er to bring some delicious snacks!"

Yu Shen didn't want to pay attention to this fat girl, but when he heard that it was the snacks sent by the master's wife, he couldn't let her down. He put down the brush in his hand, washed his hands, and walked to the table and sat down.

The chubby girl immediately handed over a sweet-scented osmanthus cake attentively: "Brother Shen, try this sweet-scented osmanthus cake, it's delicious."

Qin Mingxuan smiled, "You only know how to pass snacks to your brother Shen, why don't you pass it to Daddy?" Xinhe was a little embarrassed by Daddy's smile, and quickly passed another piece of osmanthus cake to Daddy. Then he picked up a piece and ate it in one gulp.

Yu Shen had just taken a small bite and was savoring the sweet fragrance of the pastry when he saw the little girl had already swallowed the whole thing in one bite. Her cheeks were bulging and she was eating it with a particularly sweet taste.

Yu Shen rolled his eyes secretly. He didn't know what was wrong with this little girl. Every time she ate, she was like a starving ghost. She ate everything with gusto.

Qin Mingxuan picked up a cup of fragrant tea, looked at his daughter's greedy look, and laughed.
