The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Prince Cheng looked at the surprised look on Taiwei Shen's face and sneered, "Sir Taiwei, you have been too careless recently. You secretly gave orders without telling the Imperial Concubine, instructing the cousin surnamed Su from the Qin Mansion to kill Taifu Qin. Do you think that the whole court belongs to you?"

Shen Taiwei was even more surprised at this moment. He blurted out, "How do you know that the order was issued by me?" Shen Taiwei always knew that his daughter had contact with the cousin in Qin's house. Unfortunately, his daughter was only obsessed with her personal feelings and only knew how to take revenge on Ji Wanran. How could such a good hidden line be wasted? He just used this line.

Suqin was someone I placed by my daughter's side, so she would naturally obey my orders. I also gave the snack shop to my daughter for her to use to pass messages to the palace.

The place and the people were his own, so he could use them at his ease. He ordered Suqin to convey the order to poison Master Qin to Su Peiyun at the snack shop. Originally, he just wanted to test whether the woman was useful or not. He didn't expect that the woman was so cruel and ruthless that she actually succeeded without arousing anyone's suspicion.

After the death of Qin Taifu, there was no old minister in the court who had more qualifications and prestige than himself, and he was very proud for a while.

Only this Chengjun Wang, Shen Taiwei has never been able to figure out the bottom of this young and ruthless Chengjun Wang. Chengjun Wang is the most beloved youngest son of the late emperor. His mother is the late emperor's favorite concubine, Concubine Li, who was once the biggest rival of the Empress Dowager. Concubine Li was quite favored by the late emperor. There were rumors that the late emperor wanted to pass the throne to Chengjun Wang, but the situation in the harem was also unpredictable. No one expected that Concubine Li was banished to the cold palace for unknown reasons and eventually committed suicide to apologize.

Empress Dowager Shen became the champion of palace fighting, successfully raised the eldest son of the late emperor, the current emperor, and finally successfully stood at the top of the harem.

After his mother's death, Prince Cheng also remained silent in the harem for many years. After the emperor ascended the throne, in order to show his great favor, he conferred the title of Prince Cheng on his younger brother. Only then did people remember that the late emperor had left behind such a son.

Empress Dowager Shen, however, had some complaints about Prince Cheng and repeatedly warned the Emperor not to delegate power to him and to just let him be a leisurely prince.

In fact, the emperor knew that the empress dowager was responsible for Concubine Li's fall from favor and death, but without the empress dowager's victory in the harem struggle, he would not have been able to ascend the throne smoothly.

However, the emperor still had some pity for his younger brother, so even though he did not give Prince Cheng real power, he did not treat his younger brother badly.

Prince Cheng had been living a leisurely and wealthy life in the capital. He was obsessed with poetry and painting, and spent all day wandering among mountains and rivers. He often left the capital to travel around the world and was a famous romantic and elegant man.

Therefore, when Prince Cheng approached Commandant Shen and expressed his willingness to lend a helping hand, Commandant Shen looked at this weak and even somewhat sickly young man with a questioning look, expressing great distrust.

But when the young man recounted the amount of bribes received by General Shen and who he had placed in various key positions, General Shen was completely stunned.

He once asked Prince Cheng if he really had no interest in the throne? Did Prince Cheng not mind what happened to his mother? Normally, Prince Cheng should be an enemy of the Shen family, so why did he join forces with him?

This young man, who usually had a smile on his face, smiled coldly, his eyes were full of coldness, and he replied coldly that he just wanted to change someone on the throne. General Shen was still worried, because after all, everyone knew that Empress Dowager Shen and Concubine Li were the ones who fought the most fiercely in the harem. Prince Cheng had no reason to let Empress Dowager Shen's brother take charge of the world again.

Shen Taiwei still remembers how cold and ruthless Prince Cheng's expression was at that time. He looked at Shen Taiwei coldly: "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. My mother is incompetent and that's why she lost to Queen Mother Shen. I just feel bored now, so I'll find something to do. It's nothing special, just for fun."

It was a matter of political intrigue, but in his mouth it was just a joke. Shen Taiwei still remembered that he felt a chill to his bones when he heard this. There was a kind of horror like a poisonous snake clinging to his body.

After much deliberation, Commandant Shen finally accepted Prince Cheng as his partner. Because he had to rely on Prince Cheng's assistance in many aspects. After all, the Shen family was a foreign relative, and their family background was shallow. But Prince Cheng had enough funds and manpower in his hands for some reason. Therefore, Commandant Shen used his manpower to do things for him, but at the same time he was quite wary of him.

Just like the poisoning of Qin Taifu was a secret act, and only Suqin knew about it. Even Su Peiyun thought that it was the Imperial Concubine who ordered it. I didn't expect that the truth about this matter would be known to Prince Cheng. It shows that he knows me very well, but I know very little about him. Thinking of this, Shen Taiwei not only broke out in a cold sweat, but also looked at Prince Cheng with a more ferocious expression.

Prince Cheng laughed again. He was already handsome, and his curved eyebrows and eyes made him look amazingly gorgeous when he laughed. It was obvious that the saying that Concubine Li was the most beautiful concubine in the harem was not false.

Prince Cheng put away his smile and said coldly, "Master Taiwei, you don't have to regard me as an enemy. You and I are now on the same boat. You can't run away, and neither can I. How could I put you and me in danger?"

He was playing with a jade ring in his hand, his eyes suddenly sharp: "I told the prince that year that I had no intention of the throne, I just wanted to have fun. Qin Mingxuan and Yu Huaian died early. This game is not fun anymore, don't you think? Lord Taiwei."

As Captain Shen looked at this young but shrewd young man, he felt a sense of dread that he was being restrained and could not escape. He could not help but keep saying yes: "Yes, yes, it's not fun anymore."

Prince Cheng glanced at General Shen and lowered his eyes to hide his contempt for him. He put on the ring in his hand, looked at it carefully, and then looked at General Shen and spoke.

"Since the death of Qin Taifu, the Grand Commandant has thought himself invincible in the court. He has been arrogant and frivolous, and even treated the emperor with disrespect many times. The children of the Shen family have no one to restrain them and have been bullying others in the capital, causing a lot of resentment among the people. Grand Commandant Shen and the Shen family have caused dissatisfaction among the emperor and many ministers in the court and the public in the capital. Due to the powerful backing of Empress Dowager Shen, they dare not speak out."

Shen Taiwei's face turned pale and blue after being told by Prince Cheng, and he was very embarrassed. But Prince Cheng didn't care at all, and continued: "Taiwei, why do you think the emperor suddenly sent Yu Huaian out of the capital? Why did the emperor appoint Qin Mingxuan to the palace to teach the prince? It's just that the emperor's patience has reached its limit, and he is ready to purge Taiwei's party. Taiwei, don't you know that danger is approaching?"

"General Shen, what do you think is the chance of winning if we confront the emperor now?" General Shen's face became even more embarrassed. He was indeed a little confused. He had no confidence in winning if he confronted the emperor now. The political and military power he got was just a drop in the bucket.

Prince Cheng carefully looked at the face of General Shen and laughed: "It seems that the general has figured it out. So now is not the time to fight to the death. He and Yu Huaian have investigated several corrupt officials and let the emperor deal with them. As long as General Shen stands firm, there will be many people who will follow him. There is no need to feel sorry for these few fish and shrimps."

Shen Taiwei was anxious: "But, but they are in close contact with me. If the emperor finds out, won't all our efforts be wasted?" Cheng Jun Wang smiled: "Don't worry, Taiwei, I have cut off their contact with you. I came here just to remind you, Taiwei, don't be anxious or impatient. Let the emperor investigate. If you don't take action, it won't be your fault. The more anxious you are to act, the easier it is to expose yourself."

Although General Shen was afraid of Prince Cheng, he was familiar with his abilities after working together for so long. He felt relieved after hearing what Prince Cheng said.

He sat down in the armchair in silence, no longer showing the high spirits of the current general. He murmured, "Have I worked in vain for the past few years? I can't accept this!"

Prince Cheng shook his head gently: "It's not a waste at all, it's just a temporary hibernation. This is fun! Let Lord Qin share the emperor's worries. We have to add some more trouble to Lord Qin so that it will be more lively and fun!"

He looked at Captain Shen and thought deeply: "I remember that the Imperial Concubine and Su Peiyun once teamed up to steal one of Ji Wanran's daughters. We can't separate the mother and daughter. This child has been raised by Su Peiyun for several years and should be put to good use. I pity orphans and widows the most. It's time for me to take action."

Shen Taiwei was puzzled: "What does the prince mean?" Prince Cheng smiled ambiguously: "That Su Peiyun is ruthless and cruel. It's a pity to drown her in the Qin Mansion. Give her a new identity and let her play a bigger role!"

He stood up, put his hands behind his back and said, "Find a chance to arrange it. I want to meet Su Peiyun." Then he flicked his sleeves, walked out of the study, and quickly disappeared into the night.

In the Qin Mansion, since the Lantern Festival, Su Peiyun asked Yin Yinshuang to inquire about Zhang Gan's news in the mansion. As expected, they finally learned that Zhang Gan had betrayed his master and died outside.

Qin Mingxuan then conducted an investigation in the mansion, and Su Peiyun found out that several servants and two guards had been cleared out of the mansion.

Su Peiyun had been staying in her courtyard in a state of anxiety, not daring to move, fearing that she would be investigated one day. As a result, she found that Suqin's connection with her was still very secret. This time the investigation did not affect her, and Su Peiyun could not help but secretly sigh that her luck was really good. No one suspected Qin Taifu's incident last time, and this time she was able to pass the test safely.

Su Peiyun was secretly delighted when she was shocked by a piece of news: Ji Wanran was pregnant again. Su Peiyun had been secretly proud of Ji Wanran's weak body since her last birth and could not give birth to another child. What was there for a childless Madam Qin to be proud of?

Who knew this bitch was pregnant again? No wonder Qin Mingxuan and his daughter, as well as Yu Shen, had been carefully looking after Ji Wanran. Qin Mingxuan bought a lot of expensive supplements for Ji Wanran to keep her pregnancy going.

Su Peiyun went to Ji Wanran's room and saw that Ji Wanran's face was rosy and in good condition. In the past, when Su Peiyun went to Ji Wanran's room, Ji Wanran always ignored her. This time, when she saw Su Peiyun, perhaps because she was pregnant and became a mother again, her mentality was much calmer, and her attitude towards Su Peiyun was also much softer.

Su Peiyun asked in a hypocritical manner, "I heard that my sister was resting after being frightened, so I didn't dare to disturb her. I didn't expect that my sister is pregnant. I'm so happy for her."

Since Ji Wanran learned that she was pregnant, she listened to her husband and tried not to get angry or worry, and rested peacefully. This child was too precious to her. She must give birth to this child well. Whether it was a boy or a girl, it was a gift from God, and her daughter would have a companion.

Ji Wanran knew that Su Peiyun had been staying in the yard obediently recently, doing embroidery and reading, and had not caused any trouble. Ji Wanran did not like Su Peiyun from the bottom of her heart, but for the sake of her deceased father-in-law, she had to take good care of Su Peiyun, and it was best for her to be obedient.

Ji Wanran looked at Su Peiyun with a smile on her face. No matter whether the smile was genuine or fake, as long as she didn't cause trouble, Ji Wanran would let her stay in the mansion in peace and find a wealthy family for her to marry in the future. She would have done her best.

She gently stroked her belly: "This is God's mercy on me for losing a daughter at an early age. It's a gift from God! This time I must give birth to the child safely." Su Peiyun was secretly proud when she heard her mention the lost daughter: "Ji Wanran, I'm afraid you never thought that your daughter is still alive? I raised her very well for you!"

At this time, Qin Mingxuan led Yu Shen and Xin He into the room. After seeing Su Peiyun and politely greeting her, the three of them surrounded Ji Wanran and asked her questions, showing great concern.

Ji Wanran saw the three people looking at her with concern, with a happy smile on her face. However, Su Peiyun felt sour in her heart when she saw such a happy family.

Ji Wanran was determined to attack Ji Wanran. As long as Ji Wanran was not doing well, she would feel happy. But what kind of luck did Ji Wanran have? One child died, but she was able to bear the pain and give birth to the second child and raised him to be fat and white. Lantern Festival wanted to deal with Qin Xinhe, but this stinky girl was lucky enough to escape, and she also lost Zhang Gan. Now Ji Wanran actually has another child.

What was the result of all the busyness and calculations he had been making all day? Looking at Ji Wanran's smiling face, Su Peiyun regretted not leaving some of the medicine for Master Qin last time. If he had the medicine, he would have wanted Ji Wanran to disappear from this world silently.

Su Peiyun looked at the sweetness of the family, and felt that she was redundant. She stood up and left. Qin Mingxuan and Ji Wanran nodded to her and watched her leave. Ji Wanran told Qin Mingxuan about Su Peiyun's marriage. It was not appropriate for such a young widow to stay at home all the time.

Qin Mingxuan calmly comforted his wife: "Put aside her matter for now. The most important thing now is to take care of your health."
