The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Qin Mingxuan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the emperor's words. The thing he was most worried about had really happened. Yu Shen and Xin He were also stunned. Xin He glanced at Yu Shen, jumped down from the queen's arms and ran to Yu Shen to comfort him: "Brother Shen, don't worry."

The emperor asked the queen to send someone to send Xinhe and Yu Shen back first, and he left in a hurry with Qin Mingxuan. While the fourth prince was reluctant to leave, the queen comforted Yu Shen and Xinhe, and ordered Ziyuan to personally send Xinhe and Yu Shen back to the Qin Mansion.

Xin He and Yu Shen returned to Qin's house and refused to rest no matter what. They stayed in Ji Wanran's room anxiously waiting for Qin Mingxuan to return. It was not until the lights were on that Qin Mingxuan returned home with a tired face.

Ji Wanran, Xinhe and Yu Shen hurried over to greet him: "Husband, how is Lord Yu?" Qin Mingxuan patted his wife's back soothingly, then looked at Yu Shen: "Shen'er, your father was assassinated on his way back to Beijing and was seriously injured. He has been sent back to the Yu Mansion. The emperor has also sent a royal doctor to the Yu Mansion to treat your father. I came back specially to pick you up, please follow me back to the Yu Mansion."

Yu Shen looked at Qin Mingxuan's solemn expression, but he didn't dare to ask what he wanted to ask. Xin He asked first: "Dad, is Uncle Yu seriously injured?"

Qin Mingxuan put his hand on Yu Shen's head and comforted him, saying, "Don't worry. You were stabbed in the chest, but luckily your heart wasn't injured. Let's go quickly." Yu Shen nodded, "With Master accompanying me, I'm not afraid. Let's go."

Xinhe held Qin Mingxuan's arm tightly and refused to let go: "Daddy, let Xiner accompany Brother Shen. Xiner wants to go too." Ji Wanran couldn't persuade the stubborn little girl, so Qin Mingxuan had to take Xinhe and Yu Shen back to the Yu Mansion.

After entering the gate of Yu Mansion, I saw that the house was brightly lit. When I arrived at the door of Yu Huaian's bedroom, I saw that the maids and servants were standing outside Yu Huaian's bedroom in silence, waiting for instructions. The two imperial doctors sent by the emperor had arrived and were busy inside.

Yu Shen looked at the candlelight in his father's room, his heart thumping harder and harder, his steps becoming slower and slower. After half a year, he was going to see his father in this way.

During the past six months, Dad's routine letter to our family was usually one letter per month. The content was simple and clear, just to report that he was safe and to ask if Yu Shen was studying hard and making progress, and that was all.

Yu Shen was very angry about why his father couldn't care about him more. His father had never cared about him like the teacher did to Xinhe, and his father had never asked him how his only son was doing.

Even if I feel relieved about Master and his wife, doesn't Dad know that this little kid of mine still longs for his care and love?

I am no longer jealous of Xin'er, but I still envy Master, Master's wife, and Xin'er when they are happy together, and I imagine that my father will treat me the same way.

Yu Shen was angry and never replied to his father's letters. Since his father didn't care about him, he didn't miss him. In fact, he had dreamed several times that his father came back from the south, walked into the teacher's house with a smile on his face, picked him up high, and took him home.

Yu Shen had never told anyone about this dream. It was just a beautiful dream, and Yu Shen knew it would never come true. But he had never thought that his father would come back like this. He was so scared, afraid that his father would be gone like his mother.

Qin Mingxuan took Xinhe and Yu Shen's hands and stepped onto the stairs. The little girl at the door lifted the door curtain, looked at Yu Shen beside Qin Mingxuan, hesitated for a moment, and reported to Qin Mingxuan: "Master Qin, the old lady said... the old lady said that the young master is not allowed to come in."

Qin Mingxuan's face changed, and he grabbed Xin He who was about to jump up. Looking at Yu Shen who was keeping his head down and saying nothing, he scolded the girl, "This is the Yu residence. Shen Er is the eldest son of the Yu residence. He is visiting his father in his own home. Why can't he come in? Nonsense!"

After saying that, he ignored the little girl who knelt down to apologize and pulled the two children into the room. As soon as he entered the room, Xinhe saw an old lady standing up from the bedside in a menacing manner and blocking Qin Mingxuan and the other three.

The old lady had a head full of silver hair and a tired face. She looked at Yu Shen with suppressed disgust and used the cane in her hand to block Qin Mingxuan's steps forward.

Qin Mingxuan suppressed his anger and bowed to the old lady: "I am fine, old lady. I specially brought Shen'er to visit his father." Qin Mingxuan deliberately emphasized the three words "his father", as if to remind the old lady that the person standing in front of her was her grandson.

Xinhe had only heard before that the old lady disliked her grandson Shen, but today she actually saw it. There was not a single bit of kindness in the old lady's eyes when she faced her grandson.

Xinhe looked at Yu Shen worriedly. Brother Shen was still a child. How uncomfortable he must feel facing his own grandmother's disgust towards him!

Xin He took a step forward and held Yu Shen's hand. As expected, Yu Shen's hand was cold. Yu Shen felt a warm little hand holding him, and raised his head to look at Xin He.

The little girl looked at him with concern, her dark eyes were full of concern, and she forced a smile at him even though she looked very uncomfortable, as if silently comforting him. Yu Shen gently responded to Xin He: "I'm fine.

Old Madam Yu didn't move at all. She slammed her cane on the ground without even raising her eyelids. "Master Qin, my son's life or death is unknown. The imperial physician is treating him. It's better not to disturb him!"

She didn't even look at Yu Shen, as if she didn't even see this grandson. Xin He was already furious. There was actually such an unkind grandmother in the world.

No matter how hateful and annoying Empress Dowager Shen in the palace was, even though she favored the Fourth Prince, as a grandmother who was not related by blood, the Empress Dowager still had some kindness towards the four princes and had never said such evil words or done such evil things!

Old Lady Yu was Yu Shen's biological grandmother, and they were related by blood. However, she was too cruel to treat a child like this just because of the nonsense words of a wandering monk.

The little girl was about to speak angrily, but was stopped by Yu Shen. Yu Shen used his eyes to comfort Xin He not to be angry, and he bowed to the old lady: "Hello, grandma. Daddy is injured, Shen'er is very worried, please allow me to serve Daddy by his bedside."

The cold-blooded old lady was not moved at all and sneered, "No need. I'm afraid your father will have a harder time getting better if you stay by his bed. Go back with your master. You are not needed here."

Even a strong child could not bear such a cold rejection. Yu Shen knelt on the ground, not daring to look up, for fear that the master and the little girl would see the tears in his eyes.

Qin Mingxuan couldn't stand it either, so he stepped forward and said kindly, "Old lady, Shen'er is Brother Huai'an's only son. How can you be so paranoid in such a critical moment? Shen'er is a good child, don't believe those nonsense!"

The old lady didn't even look at Yu Shen: "Humph, I only know that my only son is lying there unconscious. Sir Qin, please don't blame me for being stubborn. I just want my son to be well. Nonsense? I'd rather believe it."

Xin He finally couldn't bear it anymore. She looked at Yu Shen who didn't raise his head. Her small body trembled slightly. Her eyes were wide open with anger. She stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Shen, glaring at the heartless old lady: "Old lady, do you know that the former queen in the palace also died after giving birth to the prince? The emperor said in person that he doesn't want to hear anyone accusing you of being a disaster star anymore. Otherwise, he will think it is slandering the prince and the former queen and will punish you with a stick."

Old Mrs. Yu was shaking with anger. She was a pampered and well-educated old lady, how could she have been scolded like this before, especially by a young girl?

She pointed at the undeterred little girl and questioned Qin Mingxuan: "Master Qin has good upbringing. I am at least a lady of honor. How can you let a little girl be so rude?"

Qin Mingxuan was obviously also very angry, he just smiled slightly: "What my daughter said is true, the emperor did say that day."

The old lady always had the final say in the mansion. Today, she was repeatedly contradicted by the Qin family father and daughter. She was so angry that she was fuming. She kept hitting them with her cane: "How dare you! Someone, get them out of here."

Xin He stared and wanted to speak, but Yu Shen stood up from the ground, grabbed the angry little girl, turned around and said to Qin Mingxuan: "Master, we can't help much if we stay here, let the doctor concentrate on treating Dad, let's go back first."

Qin Mingxuan sighed helplessly: "Okay, let's go back with the master first. Any news about your father will be reported to the Qin Mansion in time. Let's go!" After that, ignoring the old lady, the three of them turned around and left.

Ji Wanran had been worried about the situation at the Yu Mansion and had not rested. Seeing the three of them coming back so soon, she went up to them in surprise and said, "Why are you back so soon? How is Lord Yu?"

When Xin He saw her mother, the tears she had been holding back all the way finally burst out. She didn't dare to throw herself into her mother's arms anymore, and threw herself into the arms of Liu Niang beside her mother, crying loudly: "Wow, this is too bullying, how can there be such a grandmother in the world, I hate her, I hate her."

When Ji Wanran heard the word "grandmother", she could probably guess the situation in the Yu Mansion. The old lady of the Yu Mansion had always been strong. When Sister Zhen was alive, the couple loved each other, but the old lady looked down on Sister Zhen. She repeatedly asked Yu Huaian to take a concubine, but her son refused. She just didn't like her daughter-in-law. After her daughter-in-law died, she didn't like Sister Zhen's children, and with the monk's words, she treated Yu Shen even more harshly.

Ji Wanran looked at Yu Shen, who looked sad, and walked over to him and hugged him in her arms: "Shen'er, don't be sad, you still have me and your master."

The little girl also came over and hugged her mother and Yu Shen: "Brother Shen, you still have me." Yu Shen buried his head in the arms of his master's wife and quietly wiped away the tears that were about to fall. Feeling the little girl's warm body leaning against him, he reached out and held Xinhe's chubby little hand tightly in his own.

Qin Mingxuan looked at the three of them, sighed, and gently stroked Yu Shen's head: "Shen'er, it's getting late. You stay home and take good care of your master's wife and sister. I will go to the Yu Mansion to take care of your father. As soon as there is good news, I will let the servant come back to inform you in time. Don't worry, your father will be fine."

Yu Shen nodded gently: "Yes, I will definitely take good care of Master's wife and sister. Master still has a lot of things to do, and he still has to track down the person behind the assassination. Master, please don't be distracted by Shen'er."

Indeed, Qin Mingxuan still had many things to do. The evidence of several ministers from the south that Yu Huaian had brought back at the risk of his life had been submitted to the emperor. Two loyal ministers were assassinated in succession, and the emperor was furious and ordered to track down the person behind the scenes. There was also a series of things to deal with, such as Yu Huaian's injury. The emperor was no longer confident in handing it over to others, so it all fell on Qin Mingxuan's head.

Qin Mingxuan hurried back to the palace to report the matter to the emperor, and he also had to worry about Yu Huaian's situation in the Yu Mansion. He was busy on both ends.

In the luxurious residence of Shen Taiwei in the capital, Shen Taiwei's study was in a mess. Shen Taiwei cursed: "Waste! A bunch of waste, not a single useful person. Your Majesty, this is your sincerity. You sent these incompetent wastes to work for me. Are you afraid that the emperor will not find out about us? What good will it do you if I fall?"

A person sat silently in the shadow opposite, watching Commandant Shen throwing things to vent his anger. Not only was he not annoyed, but he laughed softly after Commandant Shen finished his temper.

"Why are you so angry, General? It's just that Qin Mingxuan and Yu Huaian were not killed." As the man spoke, he walked step by step from the shadows to the front of General Shen.

Shen Taiwei looked at the young man in front of him, Xiao Yunan, the youngest son of the late emperor, and the current Prince Cheng. If Xinhe was here, she would definitely recognize that this Prince Cheng was Yu Shen's greatest enemy in his previous life and the culprit who killed him.

At this time, Prince Cheng was young but elegant, with a slender figure, wearing a black brocade robe. After walking out of the shadows, he picked up a scroll that had just been thrown away by Commandant Shen, unfolded it, glanced at it, and was surprised: "Master Dongshan's paintings are rare treasures, and it is difficult to find one. The emperor probably only has one or two. Commandant Shen is really rich, and he just threw such a treasure on the ground casually. What a pity!"

After saying that, he brushed off the dust on the scroll with his sleeves and put it back on the desk of Shen Taiwei with great care. Shen Taiwei was so angry just now that he didn't expect that he would throw away this scroll. This scroll was just sent to his residence by the Minister of Revenue for promotion. He also loved it and enjoyed it for a long time. At this moment, he secretly regretted it in his heart.

But when he looked up and saw the calm look on Prince Cheng's face, the anger that he had just suppressed immediately rose up again. He pointed at Prince Cheng and said angrily: "You, don't change the subject. I specifically asked your men to pass you a message. Once the things that Yu Huaian brought with him are presented to the emperor, we will have to abolish several of our people who we have finally placed. But you were so careless that you let Yu Huaian return to the capital smoothly. Do you know how serious the consequences of this matter are?"

Prince Cheng still had a smile on his face: "Do you think that Yu Huaian is dead, and that the general will be able to protect those people?"

Shen Taiwei was stunned, and Prince Cheng continued: "Why do you think the emperor suddenly sent Yu Huaian to Jiangnan to supervise the administration of officials?" He stopped talking and looked at Shen Taiwei meaningfully. Shen Taiwei was silent for a long time and suddenly opened his mouth in surprise: "Are you saying that the emperor has been eyeing those people for a long time?"
