The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 30: Fight in the Imperial Garden

The two maids following Xin He knew that Xin He came with the Empress, so they did not dare to neglect her. Seeing that she was sitting under the plum tree without saying a word, they walked up to her and said tentatively, "Miss Qin, if you find this place boring, you might as well go to the Koi Pond to see the Koi raised in the palace. They are tributes from the south and are very beautiful.

Xin He was worried about Yu Shen. Seeing the little palace maid trying to please her carefully, she couldn't bear to reject their kindness, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, sister palace maid. Let's go and take a look."

The two young maids did not expect Xin He to be so easy to talk to, and happily led Xin He to the koi pond. Just as they turned around a rockery, they heard a child's voice shouting, and the voices of several other children echoed.

Xin He immediately became interested. Xin He was a person who loved to eavesdrop, probably because of the nature of the secret guard left over from the previous life.

She put her finger to her lips to signal the two young palace maids not to speak, then tiptoed behind a rockery and looked at the noisy people.

Behind the rockery, there were four or five half-grown children gathered together. They were all dressed in luxurious clothes and were probably children of wealthy families who followed their fathers into the palace.

The one who was shouting loudly was a little boy of about ten years old. Judging from his clothes and the accessories around his waist, he should be the one with the best family background among the group of children, so he looked very arrogant.

He pointed at a person who was surrounded by them with disdain and said in a contemptuous tone: "Who told you to come to the palace? Don't you know that you are a born disaster? You killed your own mother, and you still dare to come to the palace. Do you want to kill all of us?" The other children echoed him, and some of them reached out to push the child who was surrounded in the middle.

When Xin He heard the word "disaster star", she ran out from her hiding place in a hurry. She ran to the boys in a hurry, and she pushed the two boys in front of her aside with her chubby hands. She saw the child surrounded in the middle, and it was indeed Yu Shen.

Yu Shen clenched his teeth and said nothing, his dark eyes fixed on the child in the lead. The beautiful little robe that Ji Wanran had put on her in the morning had been twisted and distorted by the pushing of those boys.

Xin He yelled, "Why are you bullying me?" Then she stood in front of Yu Shen and stretched out her arms to block Yu Shen behind her. The leading boy looked at a fat little girl and said, "Whose little girl are you? Get out of here. It's none of your business."

Xin He didn't move, and looked up at the boy who was leading the group. "I am the child of my parents' in-laws. Whose child are you? Didn't your parents tell you not to bully others?"

The boy glanced at her with disdain and patted a little boy next to him: "Tell her who I am?"

The little boy immediately stepped forward and said, "Hmph, little girl, listen carefully. This is General Shen's precious grandson, and the Imperial Concubine's precious nephew, Master Shen Liang!"

It turned out that he was from the Shen family. As expected, good bamboo shoots cannot come out of bad bamboos. There are no good people in the family.

Xin He was not afraid at all, pointing at Shen Liang and scolding him: "No matter whose child you are, it is not right to bully others. You have to apologize to my brother Shen."

Shen Liang didn't expect that even after he announced his name, this little girl would still be so bold. In the past, whenever other people heard him announce his family name, they would have avoided him.

This time he looked at the bold fat girl seriously, and still said with disdain: "You are the little girl of the Qin family, right? I am not wrong. Everyone in the capital knows that this kid is born to be a disaster. He killed his mother and made his father leave the capital to avoid disaster. He might also be killed outside. His grandmother refused to see him."

Shen Liang pointed at Xinhe's nose and said, "Your family is so brave that you dare to keep him at home. Aren't you afraid that this calamity will kill your father and mother? Then you, a fat girl, will be left without parents and can only beg on the street with this nemesis! Don't you think so?" The children around also laughed along with Shen Liang.

The Shen family is really not good. He actually cursed his own parents! Xin He had no parents in his previous life, and the people he cherished most in this life were his parents. This little bad guy dared to curse everything he cherished.

The little fat girl couldn't bear it any longer, she screamed, jumped up and crashed into Shen Liang who was laughing wildly like a small cannonball.

Shen Liang was not prepared for the little girl to attack him and was knocked to the ground by Xinhe. Before he could fight back, the chubby girl punched him in the eye, causing Shen Liang to see stars.

Shen Liang had been spoiled since childhood and had never suffered such a loss. He covered his eyes and stood up, commanding the boys to fight: "What are you still standing there for? Beat them!"

Yu Shen hurriedly put the little girl behind him, but Xinhe didn't want Yu Shen to protect her and insisted on jumping out to fight. Yu Shen couldn't stop her and had to deal with several people who came up to beat him up, so he simply let go and protected Xinhe while fighting back.

Fortunately, the martial arts skills his father taught him came in handy at this time. He was able to fight against several people alone and did not suffer any loss.

The young palace maid standing in the distance was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. The young eunuchs following the boys were also stunned. They didn't dare to come up and pull them apart. They had to disperse and run to report the situation to their masters.

At this time, a shout of "Stop!" was heard, and the children stopped in shock. It turned out to be Empress Dowager Shen, the Queen, Concubine Shen, Ji Wanran and her group. Among them, there was a noblewoman with an anxious face following Concubine Shen. The children were so scared that they immediately knelt down.

Empress Dowager Shen was chatting with the ladies in the Cining Palace when a little palace maid came in in a panic to report that the young master of the Shen family had been beaten in the Imperial Garden.

Empress Dowager Shen was furious when she heard this and asked immediately, "Who is so bold?" The little maid looked at the Queen and Ji Wanran timidly and did not dare to answer. Empress Dowager Shen looked at the Queen coldly and said, "I want to see who is so bold! Queen and Madam Qin, please come with me. Please wait for a moment, ladies."

As soon as Shen Liang saw Empress Dowager Shen and her group, he covered his eyes and burst into tears: "Grandma, Aunt, someone is bullying me!" The noble lady behind Concubine Shen should be Shen Liang's mother. She rushed over and hugged Shen Liang with a cry, touching her son's bruised eyes and crying with heartache: "Empress Dowager, Concubine, please do something for Liang'er?"

Ji Wanran looked at Xin He and Yu Shen. There were no scars on their faces, but they still looked very embarrassed. The little girl's bun was loose, and two peach blossom hairpins were hanging crookedly in her hair.

Yu Shen still clenched his fists, his clothes were messy, but he still knew to protect Xin He behind him. He stared at Ji Wanran and shook his head gently, indicating that he and Xin He were not injured. Ji Wanran was relieved. However, looking at the angry look of Empress Dowager Shen, it seemed that today would not end well.

Empress Dowager Shen asked angrily: "How dare you start a fight in the Imperial Garden. Who started it first?" "It was me," Xin He and Yu Shen said at the same time. Shen Liang stood up and pointed the finger at Xin He: "It was her, the stinky girl who started it first."

Shen Yining smiled coldly: "So it's Miss Qin. Madam Qin has a good upbringing!" The Queen was about to stand up and speak, but Xin He stood up angrily and looked at Shen Yining in a baby voice: "I was the one who beat her, it has nothing to do with my mother."

Empress Dowager Shen glanced at the daring little girl and looked at the queen coldly: "Queen, you should know how to deal with people who violate the palace rules, right?"

The Queen bowed to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Highness, this is just a joke between children. There is no need to use palace rules, right?" Shen Liang's mother relied on the power of Queen Mother Shen and Concubine Shen and insisted, "On such an important day, how dare you hit our Shen family's child? Whose power did this child rely on to treat our Shen family with such disregard?"

Seeing that the woman was about to take her anger out on the Queen, Xin He took another step forward and puffed out her chest: "I am not bullying people by taking advantage of my power. I first convinced people with reason, but I beat him because he bullied me."

Xin He pointed at Yu Shen: "Brother Shen is the child that his mother would rather sacrifice her life to keep. A child that a mother would risk her life to protect should be cherished even more. And Brother Shen's father was ordered by the emperor to go out of the capital to do business. He was a loyal minister for the country and the people. But this Shen Liang actually said that the child who killed his mother was a disaster star, and that Brother Shen's father would also be killed outside. Shouldn't he be beaten for cursing a loyal minister who served the country and the people like this?"

Empress Dowager Shen was so angry that her hands were shaking when she heard this little girl actually elevate the quarrel between children to state affairs. She said, "What a sharp-tongued girl! Someone come!" Before she finished her words, she heard another voice from behind the rockery: "Well said!"

Then a group of people walked out from behind the rockery. The one in the lead was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with piercing eyes and a majestic presence. It turned out to be the current emperor, accompanied by the crown prince and several other princes, as well as several ministers, including Qin Mingxuan.

After the grand court meeting of the previous dynasty, the emperor led several princes to the Cining Palace. When they walked to the rockery, they heard the little girl indignantly accusing Shen Liang. When the little girl talked about Yu Shen's mother, the emperor couldn't help but look at the prince. The prince had tears in his eyes. Obviously, the child also thought of the late queen.

The teenage prince usually behaves very maturely and steadily, but he is still a child after all. Despite the love of himself and the queen, he still misses his biological mother.

The emperor looked at Qin Mingxuan again, and Qin Mingxuan immediately bowed his hands and apologized: "I am not a good parent and have offended the empress dowager. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." The emperor smiled and said: "You are a very capable girl!"

Seeing that the Empress Dowager was already enraged by the little girl's words and was about to order someone to punish her, the Emperor shouted and walked out of the rockery. When everyone saw the Emperor coming, they immediately bowed to him and greeted him.

Xin He was watching this majestic and handsome uncle walk in step by step. It turned out that this was the emperor! In the previous life, I heard that the emperor died of illness and the queen was buried alive with him. The emperor entrusted his son to Daddy and Uncle Yu before his death. Daddy and Uncle Yu also used their lives to protect the prince to ascend the throne.

Xinhe was thinking about things from her past life and was so stunned that she even forgot to kneel down and pay her respects. Yu Shen quickly pulled Xinhe's sleeve, motioning her to kneel down quickly.

Xin He just realized it, but before she could kneel down, His Majesty had already walked up to her and asked her with a stern face, "Little girl, you are the first person who dares not kneel before me?"

Xin He was frightened by the emperor's stern face. This was the emperor! She hurriedly tried to straighten her hair, but it was too messy and her hair was about to fall apart. She had no choice but to kneel down and pay her respects to the emperor. She knelt on the ground and rolled herself into a ball, adjusting her hair from time to time. She looked very embarrassed.

Ji Wanran quietly looked up at her daughter and wanted to cover her face and sigh. Fortunately, the other noble ladies did not come with her. If her daughter was seen in this state by the noble ladies in the capital, she would probably never get married in her life.

The Queen Mother was still furious, and she looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this little girl actually beat Liang'er in the Imperial Garden. She really has no regard for the dignity of the royal family. We cannot take it lightly."

Xin He was not convinced and wanted to open her mouth to refute, but when she looked up and saw her mother quietly shaking her head at her, she reluctantly closed her mouth. The emperor bowed slightly to the empress dowager and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will ask you clearly."

The emperor turned around and looked at Shen Liang who was kneeling beside Madam Shen: "Did the little girl just say the truth? You said those words."

Madam Shen answered before Shen Liang could: "Your Majesty, Liang'er was just kidding. How can you take it seriously? Liang'er was really beaten by that little girl. Look at Liang'er's injuries."

The emperor glanced at her and said, "I'm asking about Shen Liang, don't say anything!" His voice was not loud, but it was full of pressure, scaring Madam Shen so much that she dared not say anything. The Empress Dowager Shen and Concubine Shen beside her both changed their expressions. Concubine Shen opened her mouth to speak, but the emperor stretched out his hand to block her: "I want Shen Liang to answer."

Shen Liang covered his eyes, which were burning with pain. He was in pain and afraid. The emperor kept questioning him. After all, he was only ten years old. He couldn't help crying. "He was originally a disaster star. Mother told me to stay away from him. He came into the palace. Isn't he going to kill people?"

The emperor looked at Madam Shen meaningfully, "I didn't know that my most trusted minister was working hard for the country and the people, and his child was being talked about so much in the capital. Yu Shen was summoned to the palace by my order. Madam Shen is so worried about the palace. I really have to trouble you, Madam Shen."

Madam Shen was so scared that she kept kowtowed: "I am guilty! I am guilty!" Empress Dowager Shen's face was gloomy, and she was about to speak. The little ball who had been lying on the ground straightened up again, pointed at the crying Shen Liang and continued to accuse: "Your Majesty, Brother Shen was taken care of by my father and mother at my home because Uncle Yu could not rush back to the capital to celebrate the New Year. He also cursed that my father and mother would also be killed by Brother Shen, saying that Brother Shen and I would have to become little beggars to beg for food."

She pointed her chubby hand at the kids who had just pushed Yu Shen. "He, he, and he, they also bullied Brother Shen. They used their numbers to bully the few, and they are helping the tyrant to do evil. They are shameless! That's why I took action first. Brother Shen took action to protect me."

The fat girl puffed out her chest as if she was ready to die: "The Queen Mother, if you want to punish me, just punish me! A good man should take responsibility for his own actions. I am not afraid!"

Empress Dowager Shen was so angry that her face turned blue and her hands were shaking after hearing what the little girl said. The emperor listened to Xinhe's words, looked at the little girl for a long time, and suddenly laughed out loud.
