The little dark guard who travels between two lives
Chapter 48: The 2nd Incense Box
Yu Huaian's words completely untied Yu Shen's heart knot. The strength that he usually pretended to be immediately collapsed. The little guy threw himself on the head of his father's bed and cried bitterly.
Yu Shen suddenly remembered what Master Guangji had said to him. He held back his tears and looked up at his father: "Dad, not long after you left Beijing, my wife took me to Guangren Temple to pray for blessings. Master Guangji of Guangren Temple had something for me to pass on to you."
Master Guangji of Guangren Temple was an accomplished monk, and Yu Huaian knew that he had something to say to him. Yu Huaian looked at his son curiously.
Yu Shen thought for a moment and then recited the poem to his father: "The departed become more distant, the living become closer." After hearing this, Yu Huaian fell into deep thought and repeated it in a murmur.
Feeling that all the knots in his heart had been untied, Yu Huaian gently patted his son's hand and said, "Shen'er, it was Daddy who was insane before. From now on, both of us father and son must be fine. Your mother is watching over us in heaven! We must let her rest assured!"
Yu Shen held his father's hand tightly and nodded solemnly: "Yes, Dad! We must be fine."
The father and son of the Yu family both resolved their worries and were very happy to see each other. On the other side, the father and daughter of the Qin family also returned to the Qin Mansion happily. Ji Wanran was also very happy to hear that Yu Huaian had woken up.
The family of three was talking about the father and son of the Yu family. Suddenly, the housekeeper Qin Shu came over with a serious face. Seeing that the lady and the young lady were there, he immediately put away his serious face and pretended to be relaxed and reported to Qin Mingxuan: "Sir, someone came from the palace and said that the emperor urgently summoned you to the palace to discuss matters."
I just came back from the palace, and the emperor sent someone to invite me. Something big must have happened. Qin Mingxuan looked at Uncle Qin's expression and didn't ask any more questions. He turned his head to look at Ji Wanran, and sure enough, his wife was looking at him with a worried look on her face.
Qin Mingxuan quickly comforted Ji Wanran, told his little girl to stay at home to look after her mother, and hurried to the front hall. Xinhe was a little worried, but she knew not to let her mother worry, so she quickly told Liu Niang to help her mother to rest. Xinhe quietly followed her father to the front hall.
Xin He lay under the window and heard her father in the front hall questioning the eunuch who came to deliver the message. She only heard the eunuch reply: "Several ministers who were escorted back to Beijing because of the corruption case in Jiangnan were just taken to the Dali Temple. They were all poisoned to death overnight. The emperor was furious and urgently summoned Lord Qin to the palace to discuss the matter."
Qin Mingxuan was also shocked. The criminal official imprisoned in the Dali Temple was silenced so easily. It was obvious that the opponent's power had infiltrated right under the emperor's nose. No wonder the emperor was so angry.
Qin Mingxuan quickly changed into his official uniform and hurried into the palace. Xinhe was still squatting under the window, feeling very uneasy.
At this moment, Xinhe was upset again. As a small secret guard in his previous life, he knew nothing about the twists and turns in the court. Now that his father and Uncle Yu had encountered such a big thing, he knew nothing. How could he help them?
Judging from the current situation, the emperor is already actively training dad and Uncle Yu to become his trusted ministers, and at the same time he is also building a loyal team for the future prince.
At this time, Shen Taiwei's ambitions were already clear, so the emperor could no longer tolerate the Shen family and began to deal with the Shen family in the court. So far, the emperor has been repeatedly frustrated in this struggle between the monarch and his subjects. First, his father and Uncle Yu were assassinated one after another, and then someone took action in advance when dealing with the Jiangnan corruption case.
Xin He squatted blankly under the window, racking his brains for a long time, but he could not find any information about General Shen in his past life. When he was selected from the Dark Guard Camp, Yu Shen and Prince Cheng were already fighting against each other in the court. He had never heard of what General Shen had done, and how he disappeared from the court.
I didn't know that this Shen Taiwei had such great ability. And the Cheng Jun Wang in the previous life is now silent. Daddy and Uncle Yu have never talked about anything about Cheng Jun Wang.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" It was Liu Niang who came. Xin He stood up and asked Liu Niang with a smile: "Has mother gone to bed yet?"
Liu Niang smiled and nodded: "Madam is a little tired and just fell asleep. Before falling asleep, she asked me to look for the young lady." Xinhe didn't want her mother and the wet nurse to worry, so she took the wet nurse's hand and went back to the backyard together.
Sure enough, after a long time of lighting the lamps at night, Daddy still hadn't come back. Xinhe knew that this matter must be very difficult. After waking up from a nap, Mom also waited for Daddy to come home.
Liu Niang and Xin He didn't dare let Ji Wanran stay up late. Ji Wanran's health has not been very good, and becoming pregnant with this child has added to the burden on her body. The whole family carefully protected Ji Wanran, fearing that she would be tired.
No matter how Liu Niang and Xin He tried to persuade Ji Wanran, she was unwilling to go to rest. In the end, it was Xin He who brought up the little brother in her mother's belly to convince her mother not to stay up late waiting for her father.
Seeing Liu Niang helping her mother to go to the bedroom to rest, Xin He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Her mother was too weak. If something happened to Daddy at this moment, it would be unbearable for her. Daddy and Uncle Yu couldn't afford anything to happen to them at this moment.
After returning to her room, Xin He made up her mind. She took out the second incense stick from her purse, lit it, and lay on her bed. She wanted to go back to her past life again to see what the struggle between General Shen and the emperor was all about.
As the smoke from the cigarette rose, Xinhe soon found that her soul had left her body and was floating gently up.
It seemed like it had been a long time since her soul left her body. Xinhe felt that this time when her soul floated up, she didn't feel as relaxed and free as last time, and she even felt a little dizzy.
After finally controlling her soul, Xinhe found herself floating from the Qin Mansion to the long street in the capital city, and then floated into the Fuxin dim sum shop that Su Peiyun often visited.
In an elegant room above the snack shop, General Shen was sitting on a royal chair, looking at a woman kneeling on the ground with a haughty look. It was Aunt Suqin beside Concubine Shen.
It turned out that Su Peiyun got in touch with the imperial concubine in the palace through this dim sum shop, and it seemed that Su Peiyun must also have been connected with Marshal Shen.
At this time, Shen Taiwei spoke in dissatisfaction: "Suqin, who was the one who fled to a foreign land when he was young and almost starved to death on the roadside?" Suqin trembled, as if she remembered that painful time. She quickly fell to the ground and said, "My family encountered a flood. My family fled all the way north, but I was the only one who died along the way."
Shen Taiwei then asked: "Who saved you and brought you into the mansion, allowing you to accompany the young lady, so that we have the current Aunt Suqin?"
Suqin lowered her body even lower, not daring to raise her head: "It was the Grand Marshal who saved me. I have never dared to forget your kindness."
Taiwei Shen snorted coldly: "It's good that you remember. I thought I couldn't order you around after you entered the palace!" Suqin knocked her head loudly: "I dare not, but...but last time I followed the master's order to assassinate Master Qin, and the young lady found out. The young lady said that if it happens again, she will...send me out of the palace."
Commander Shen picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and sneered, "Why, are you afraid that the young lady will send you out of the palace? It seems that you are not afraid of me getting angry. Suqin, you have to recognize who your master is."
Suqin trembled even more: "But, the young lady treats me very well, I dare not betray her again." Shen Taiwei put down the teacup, "When did I ask you to betray the young lady? Everything I did was for your young lady's future."
Shen Taiwei reached out and took out a brocade box, fiddling with it in his hands for a few times. "Wasn't the last assassination of Qin Mingxuan to put an end to your young lady's unrealistic thoughts and let her serve the emperor in the palace with peace of mind? This time your young lady went crazy and angered the emperor, aren't you worried about your young lady?"
Suqin raised her head and looked at General Shen, and said anxiously: "Of course I am worried about the young lady. The young lady copied scriptures every day and sent them to the emperor's palace every day, but the emperor still did not release the queen from house arrest. Because the young lady is worried, I came to ask the master for advice and quickly help the young lady regain his favor."
Commandant Shen smiled with an ambiguous tone: "You don't have to worry about this. With the Empress Dowager in the palace, it's only a matter of time before your young lady regains favor. But I'm worried that the Imperial Concubine will speak wildly this time, and I'm afraid the Emperor won't treat your young lady the same way as before."
Suqin knelt down anxiously and said, "Sir, what should we do?" Captain Shen handed the brocade box to Suqin. Suqin took the box and looked at Captain Shen in confusion.
Shen Taiwei smiled and said, "Don't worry, this thing is harmless to the Imperial Concubine. Go back and mix it into the perfume powder that your young lady often uses. I found this thing specially. It can make people unable to forget the person who uses the perfume powder and become more and more obsessed with it."
Suqin was so shocked that she almost dropped the brocade box. She looked at General Shen in surprise: "Sir, there are many capable people in the palace. If someone finds out that the queen drugged the emperor, how will the queen protect herself?"
Commander Shen glanced at Suqin with dissatisfaction: "What do you mean by drugging? If Yining hadn't ignored the advice of me and the Queen Mother and acted rashly, how could she have put herself in this situation and almost harmed my Shen family? And I, as a father, had to make painstaking plans for her behind the scenes."
He eased the anger on his face and looked at Suqin who dared not speak: "I took great pains to obtain this medicine. It is a secret medicine from Southern Xinjiang and will not be discovered by others. Just use it without worry. It will not harm your young lady."
Suqin was embarrassed and didn't dare to agree. Captain Shen sneered again: "Why, you don't dare to use it? This is not the first time you have drugged your young lady, are you still timid?"
Suqin's face turned pale, and she stammered, "Sir, that time you said you would help Miss, I thought it would be..."
"Do you think it is Qin Mingxuan who is coming? You want to help your young lady marry Qin Mingxuan. You are as stupid as Yining." Captain Shen interrupted Suqin coldly. Xinhe, who was floating in the room, was also shocked to hear this. It turned out that it was her father and her closest maid who framed Shen Yining in the palace. Shen Yining had been blaming her mother and refused to let go, and repeatedly tried to harm her mother. Who would have thought that it was her own biological father who did it.
Shen Taiwei continued, "The Queen Mother is also confused. She actually put down her airs and personally proposed to that old man. Little did she know that there is no possibility of marriage between the Qin family and our Shen family. That old man has long been on the opposite side of our Shen family. Your young lady is still trying to marry into the Qin family. It's really stupid."
"For so many years, Master Qin has been suppressing my Shen family. Yining couldn't see this. How could the Queen Mother attempt to form an alliance with the Qin family? It was impossible at that time. Moreover, if Master Qin didn't die, my Shen family couldn't really stand up. So that old man must die. And Yining must enter the palace for our Shen family. I knew about your stupid plan, but I just helped you secretly. I sent someone to lead the emperor to that house when he was drunk. Everything happened naturally."
Suqin was speechless as she looked at the complacent General Shen. Xinhe, who was floating in the room, also heard that her grandfather's death was not due to illness, but must have been caused by General Shen. But she didn't know how he did it.
Shen Taiwei glanced at the stunned Suqin and smiled, "If Yining knew that it was you who drugged her, not Ji Wanran, how would your young lady treat you?"
Suqin suddenly shuddered and kowtowed repeatedly: "Please don't tell the young lady, she can't bear it." Suqin lay on the ground and cried, crying for herself and for the young lady.
If the poor young lady knew that the reason why her reputation was ruined and she had to enter the palace unwillingly was because of her father and her closest maid, she would definitely not be able to bear being betrayed by her relatives. Suqin was not afraid that the young lady would punish her, she just felt sorry for the young lady being plotted against by her own father.
Commander Shen looked at Suqin with satisfaction: "Since you know that this is good for your young lady, don't disobey my decision. Take this brocade box back and do as I say. After your young lady regains favor, you should use it for her every time you sleep with her. I will ensure that your young lady will continue to be the most favored in the harem, and no one can match her."
Suqin knelt down again and said yes, picked up the brocade box and hid it in her sleeve, then asked for leave from Shen Taiwei and returned to the palace. Shen Taiwei looked at Suqin's back, clapped his hands lightly, and a man in black jumped down from the beam, which scared Xinhe. He had been floating in the air and didn't even notice that there was someone else in the room. It can be seen that this man has deep skills. Xinhe thought of the group of people who assassinated her father during the Lantern Festival. She didn't know when Shen Taiwei had so many masters around him.
The man in black knelt on the ground and listened to Commandant Shen's order: "Tell the people in the palace to keep a close eye on Suqin. If she is not trustworthy and talks nonsense in front of the imperial concubine, kill her first to prevent future troubles." The man in black nodded in response, flew out of the window, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Xinhe watched this man leave and was secretly shocked. Commander Shen's men had already infiltrated the palace. If Empress Dowager Shen and Commander Shen joined forces, then the Shen family would be the only one in control of the harem. How could the safety of the emperor, empress, and prince be guaranteed?
Xin He thought of the box of perfume powder just now, and remembered that in the previous life, the emperor died early, leaving behind a young prince, and even the queen was buried with him. No, Xin He was suddenly shocked. The queen entered the palace just for the prince and took care of him wholeheartedly. If the emperor died early, he would definitely entrust the prince to the queen, and the queen would definitely take care of the prince. How could the queen leave the young prince to be buried with him? There are too many problems here.
