The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Yu Shen helped the little girl stand up. Seventeen looked at the two young masters and found that they were fine. He was completely relieved: "Sir, how should we deal with this person who betrayed his master as a guard?"

Zhang Gan sneered: "Whoever betrays the master, Qin Mingxuan is not my master." Before he finished speaking, Zhang Gan's eyes suddenly widened, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Shiqi hurried forward to check, and saw a dart stuck in Zhang Gan's back, flashing green light under the light, and the dart was coated with poison.

Shiqi quickly stopped Yu Shen and Xin He from coming forward, protecting them behind him, and looked around with a sharp gaze. There was no movement, and no one was seen.

The person throwing darts should always hide in the dark. If he can throw darts to kill people without being noticed, he is also a master.

Xin He didn't expect that Zhang Gan would be killed right after he caught him, so he couldn't testify against Su Peiyun. Seventeen didn't find the person who assassinated Zhang Gan, so he hurriedly took Xin He and Yu Shen to the place where the carriage stopped. He didn't know where the enemy was hiding, so he couldn't stay here for long.

When Shiqi, Xinhe and Yu Shen arrived at the carriage, Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran had been waiting anxiously for a long time. Wujiu's joining made it impossible for the assassins to get close to Qin Mingxuan. Seeing that their number of people was decreasing, they could not succeed tonight. Finally, they whistled and called all the assassins to flee quickly. Qin Mingxuan was able to escape and hurried to the carriage to find his wife and children.

When Ji Wanran saw Qin Mingxuan rushing over, she could no longer hold back and threw herself into her husband's arms and cried loudly: "Husband, Nannan and Shen'er were separated by the crowd. I couldn't hold my daughter's hand, my daughter, Nannan! Husband, I only have this one daughter left, I can't lose her. And Shen'er, if we lose Shen'er, how can we explain to Sister Zhen and Lord Yu!"

Qin Mingxuan hurriedly sent out the remaining guards to search for them, and tried to comfort his wife while suppressing his grief. Just now, he saw the streets in a mess, and a few bodies left after falling and being trampled. Nannan and Yu Shen were two little people, and they didn't even have a guard around them. It was unknown whether they could be lucky enough to come back.

Therefore, when Shiqi rushed back with Xinhe and Yu Shen, Ji Wanran heard her daughter call "Mother" and rushed over in surprise and joy, hugging her daughter tightly in her arms.

When Xin He saw her mother, she remembered that she had never returned from the Lantern Festival in her previous life and had never been able to see her father and mother again. In this life, she had finally protected herself from being harmed by the villain and could stay with her father and mother. She couldn't help but feel sad from the bottom of her heart. She hugged her mother and started crying bitterly.

Qin Mingxuan was finally relieved to see that his daughter and Shen'er had returned safely. Seeing the mother and daughter crying so sadly, he felt sympathetic. If his daughter hadn't come back tonight, Wan'er would have been half dead.

Qin Mingxuan stroked Yu Shen's head and asked him if he was hurt. Yu Shen looked at Master's wife crying so sadly while holding Xin He, and he couldn't help but lower his head and murmured, "Master, I am incompetent and failed to protect Master's wife and sister Xin Er."

Qin Mingxuan squatted down, looked into Yu Shen's eyes seriously and said, "Shen'er, look at the master and listen to what the master says. Tonight, the traitor secretly sent assassins. It's not your fault. You are just a child. It's good enough that you and Xinhe can come back safely. What's more, you arranged Seventeen and Five Nine in advance. If it weren't for them tonight, we would be in trouble! In the end, the master has to thank you!"

Yu Shen wanted to tell his master that it was not him but Sister Xin'er who arranged two secret guards to follow him. But he remembered that Sister Xin'er told him that the secret must not be known to the master and the master's wife, so he shut his mouth again.

Seeing Ji Wanran and her mother crying endlessly, Qin Mingxuan quickly pulled Shen'er forward and persuaded Ji Wanran: "Madam, Nannan and Shen'er have returned safely. They must be very tired. Stop crying and let's go home quickly."

Ji Wanran saw Yu Shen looking at her eagerly, and quickly hugged Yu Shen again: "Shen'er, luckily you and your daughter are back safely, Master's wife was so worried. Okay, let's go home quickly."

Xin He looked at her father, tears still hanging on her face, and she stretched out her chubby hands to Qin Mingxuan pitifully: "Daddy, hug our daughter!"

Qin Mingxuan quickly stepped forward and held his fat daughter in his arms. The feeling of regaining what he had lost was beyond words. Xinhe leaned her big head against her father's neck, and tears could not be controlled and fell.

She hugged her father's neck tightly and murmured, "Daddy, Nannan almost didn't come back. I was so scared that I would never see Daddy and Mommy again. I was so scared for Daddy and Mommy. I didn't want to not see Daddy and Mommy again just after I came back."

Qin Mingxuan felt his daughter's tears dripping on his neck, and his heart ached. It seemed as if he had experienced this kind of heart-wrenching pain of separation from his own flesh and blood. He hugged his little girl tightly in his arms: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back, it's Daddy who didn't protect our daughter well. Daddy will definitely protect our daughter well in the future. Let's go home."

Qin Mingxuan took his wife and two children on the carriage and hurried home under the protection of the guards. In the carriage, Xin'er and Yu Shen told Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran about their thrilling experience after being separated by people.

When Qin Mingxuan heard that someone among the guards in the mansion had colluded with the traitor to kill his daughter, his face became solemn. He did not expect that the enemy had already planted someone next to him. Zhang Gan had been in the mansion for many years, and it seemed that the enemy's layout had not been a one-day effort, and they must have started early.

But who is this enemy? Is it the arrogant Shen Taiwei or some unknown political enemy who has been hiding behind the scenes? If the other party has someone around him, then Brother Huai'an must have someone around him too.

Qin Mingxuan cried out inwardly that something was wrong, and hurriedly lifted the curtain of the carriage, calling out "Seventeen". Seventeen responded: "What do you want, sir?"

Qin Mingxuan asked, "Did your master bring any secret guards with him when he went south?" Seventeen bowed and replied, "The master said that this trip south was important and required secret guards to investigate openly and secretly, so he brought two secret guards, Twenty and Thirty-Seven, with him."

Qin Mingxuan pondered secretly and said softly, "Two are not enough. I am afraid that someone will attack your master like they did to me. You should quickly gather a few more capable secret guards and go south to meet your master."

After hearing what Qin Mingxuan said, Seventeen also felt that the situation was serious and quickly disappeared. At this time, the people from the Military Command Department also caught up with him, and the leader stepped forward to report: "Sir Qin, our Commander Wang has received the news and has sent troops to the four city gates and inside the city to arrest the murderer who assassinated you. Commander Wang specifically ordered me to escort you and your family back home."

Qin Mingxuan thanked him: "Thank you for your help." Then, Qin Mingxuan rushed back home with his wife and two children. After settling Ji Wanran and the two children, Qin Mingxuan quickly went to the palace to see the emperor overnight. He must report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible, and also arrange for someone to help Yu Huaian return to Beijing safely.

The emperor led the empress and other concubines to enjoy the lanterns and theatrical performances in the palace, and they also had a lively Lantern Festival. Everyone was very happy. It was rare for the emperor to have such leisure and elegance to celebrate the festival with the harem.

The Empress Dowager had been unhappy since the last incident in the Imperial Garden. She still did not come tonight due to illness and summoned the Fourth Prince to the Cining Palace. Shen Yining, who stayed in the garden, seemed to be worried. The Emperor spoke to her several times but she was in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

When the emperor saw Shen Yining like this, he also remembered the Lantern Festival that led to Shen Yining entering the palace. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Shen Yining has always been proud and arrogant, and has a great reputation in the capital. If she hadn't been drunk and entered that room, she would never have been willing to enter the palace.

The emperor knew that Shen Yining had no choice but to enter the palace. He was much older than her, so he had always been partial to her, which led to Shen Yining becoming a little arrogant and even repeatedly offending the queen. And the Shen family behind her became even more arrogant after Shen Yining gave birth to the fourth prince.

Thinking of these things, the emperor's face turned a little ugly. At this time, a little eunuch hurried over to report: "Your Majesty, the commander of the army, Si Wang, sent an urgent report. Just now, a store on Chang Street caught fire, causing chaos and trampling among the crowd, and... there were thieves who took the opportunity to assassinate Lord Qin and his family."

The emperor was shocked when he heard this and suddenly stood up and asked, "How is Lord Qin?" The queen was also shocked and sat up straight. She couldn't help asking, "How are Lord Qin's family members?"

The young eunuch hurriedly reported back: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Lord Qin and his family are safe and sound and have been sent home by the military commander. Lord Qin has also asked to see the emperor outside the palace, saying that he has something urgent to report." "Call!"

The emperor ordered Qin Mingxuan to come to the palace immediately. Then the queen and the concubines left. Shen Yining was almost shocked to stand up when she heard the eunuch's report. She managed to control her emotions so that no one would notice.

Assassinate Qin Mingxuan?! Who did this? I only ordered Su Peiyun to deal with Ji Wanran, that stinky girl. I didn't order the assassination of Qin Mingxuan. Who did this?

The emperor looked at the concubines with a gloomy face, and the anger in his heart was hard to suppress. Too arrogant, he had just ordered Mingxuan to go to the study to teach the prince, and someone dared to assassinate Qin Mingxuan in public. Thinking of Yu Huaian's long absence from work in the south, he was even more furious, and picked up the teacup at hand and threw it on the ground.

When Qin Mingxuan entered the hall, he saw the emperor angrily throwing the quilt to the ground. Qin Mingxuan hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

The emperor hurried down the steps and personally helped Qin Mingxuan up: "My dear minister, you are frightened, are you injured?" Qin Mingxuan bowed: "Thanks to the emperor's protection, I am fine, and my relatives are all fine too!"

Qin Mingxuan continued, "Your Majesty, I came to the palace overnight to remind you that the person who assassinated me was very arrogant and bold. I am worried that he will also attack Lord Yu. Please send people out of the capital as soon as possible to pick up Lord Yu, so that he will not be killed on the way."

The emperor shouted to the eunuch outside the palace: "Hurry up and send an order to the commander of the army, Lord Wang, to send a team of soldiers out of the capital and head south to meet Yu Huaian along the way. Make sure to protect Lord Yu and return to the capital safely."

Seeing that the matter had been arranged, Qin Mingxuan resigned and went home to accompany his wife and children. The emperor did not stop him, but told Qin Mingxuan to wait for Xinhe to rest for two days before letting Xinhe come to the palace. The queen was very worried about Xinhe. Qin Mingxuan accepted the order and thanked the emperor and left the palace to go home.

Here, Shen Yining returned to her Ningxin Palace in a state of anxiety, and quickly sent Suqin a message. Shen Yining sternly asked Suqin: "How did you send my order? Why did someone assassinate Qin Mingxuan?"

Suqin heard Shen Yining questioning her, and hesitated to speak. Finally, she knelt on her knees and pleaded with Shen Yining: "My queen, I have no choice, please punish me!"

Shen Yining sneered: "Punishment? Suqin, you have been by my side since childhood. I trusted you so much, and you actually betrayed me? Tell me, what exactly is the story behind the assassination of Qin Mingxuan?"

Suqin knelt on the ground: "Madam, it is because I have been serving you that I know what is bothering you. For so many years, you have been obsessed with Mr. Qin. Even though you have repeatedly attacked Madam Qin, you have never been willing to deal with Mr. Qin."

Shen Yining angrily scolded Suqin: "Shut up!" Suqin continued stubbornly: "Your Majesty will never be happy until her worries are gone. Once the emperor finds out about your thoughts, it will bring disaster to the Shen family. I can't bear to see your Majesty suffer like this. The master said that Lord Qin has become the biggest enemy of the Shen family and should be eliminated. I followed the master's instructions and arranged the assassination without your knowledge."

Shen Yining smiled bitterly after hearing this: "It was my father. It turned out that it was arranged by my father. I have already followed his arrangement and entered the palace. What else does he want?"

Suqin hurriedly comforted Shen Yining: "Your Majesty, the master is also thinking about your majesty!" Shen Yining looked straight at Suqin, and two lines of tears flowed down her beautiful face.

Shen Yining sneered: "Suqin, do you really think that Dad did everything for me, his daughter? No, he didn't do it for me. I am just a pawn of his. He did it for the Shen family and for the power in his hands!"

Shen Yining wiped away her tears and looked at Suqin: "Tomorrow I will ask the Queen to let you leave the palace, saying that you are ill. You should go back to the Shen Mansion and follow your father's arrangements."

Suqin was horrified: "Your Majesty, please don't drive me out of the palace. I won't dare to do it again. I really feel that Your Majesty is suffering and want to share your worries! I was wrong. Your Majesty is my only master. Please forgive me."

Shen Yining silently watched Suqin who kept kowtowing and apologizing, but she couldn't bear it anymore and sighed, "Forget it, let's just leave it at that this time. Suqin, I won't let you off easily next time. You can go down now."

Suqin kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude, and finally left in tears. Shen Yining stared blankly at the candlelight in the room, the wax dripping down drop by drop, just like the tears in her heart dripping until dawn.

It is said that Concubine Shen is the most favored empress in the palace, but Shen Yining knows very well that the emperor favors her but does not love her. While doting on her, he is always on guard against the Shen family behind her.

What joy can I have in my life in the palace? Only Suqin beside me can see the pain in my heart. The Queen Mother doesn't know, my father doesn't know, and my father won't care whether I am happy or sad. The more Shen Yining thought about it, the sadder she became. She fell on the bed and cried bitterly.
