The little dark guard who travels between two lives
Chapter 54 Xinhe and Daddy's Little Secret
Xin He was under her father's scrutiny, her head drooped, not daring to look up at him. She thought for a long time and decided that she couldn't tell her father the truth. Her mother was pregnant and in poor health. If she knew the truth, it would be unbearable for her. Xin He didn't dare to take the risk.
It was too weird to tell Dad about traveling through two lives. Xin He was not sure whether Dad could accept her as a reborn daughter. In addition, Xin He was afraid that if Dad knew that traveling through two lives might cause harm to her, Dad would definitely stop her. Xin He did not dare to take the risk.
Although Yu Shen and I were powerless to stop General Shen, the most important thing now was to let our mother give birth to the baby safely. In this past life, because I was killed, my mother was so sad that she couldn't keep the baby. Xin He was looking forward to the arrival of her little brother.
After thinking for a long time, Xinhe decided to tell her father about the dream to see his attitude. Even if she wanted to tell the truth, she had to wait until her mother gave birth safely.
Qin Mingxuan was indeed puzzled by his daughter's attitude. Although Nannan was favored by the emperor and the queen, she was not a spoiled child. She was always well-behaved and sensible. It was impossible for her to blurt out such words in front of everyone just because she was jealous of Concubine Shen.
Qin Mingxuan was about to speak when his daughter, who had been lowering her head, stretched out her chubby hands and came forward to hug his neck. As the carriage was moving, Qin Mingxuan was afraid that his daughter would fall, so he quickly hugged his chubby daughter tightly.
Xin He put her head on her father's shoulder and murmured, "Dad, do you think Nannan is very rude today?" Qin Mingxuan couldn't help but laugh. His daughter has always been smart and she has seen through his doubts. Qin Mingxuan patted his fat daughter on the back and chuckled, "Dad knows that Nannan is not such a rude child, and you won't take advantage of Concubine Shen's misfortune. Can you tell Dad what the reason is?"
Xin He raised her head and looked into her father's eyes, and asked solemnly: "Dad, do you remember that someone wanted to harm my daughter and Brother Shen during the Lantern Festival? Fortunately, we brought secret guards with us in advance to successfully escape danger. Do you remember?"
Qin Mingxuan still feels scared when he thinks of that thrilling Lantern Festival night. If it weren't for the protection of a few secret guards, he doesn't know what his daughter would be like now.
Qin Mingxuan held his daughter's hands tightly and said, "Daddy remembers that Daddy also praised your brother Shen for doing a good job and for remembering to let the secret guards follow in advance."
Xin He paused and asked tentatively: "Dad, if Nannan said that she dreamed of the danger that was about to happen and reminded Brother Shen to arrange for manpower in advance, would you believe her?"
Qin Mingxuan was stunned: "Dream?" Xinhe nodded: "Yes, Daddy, I am dreaming. Ever since I woke up from the water, my daughter has always dreamed of strange things. At first, my daughter didn't care and thought they were just dreams."
Xin He looked at her father, who was listening to her seriously, with no doubt on his face. She felt more confident and continued, "Later, I found that some of the things and people I dreamed about would appear before my eyes, as if I could predict things in my dreams. I was a little scared."
Xinhe decided to use the name of Master Guangji, so that her father would be more likely to believe what she said, so she continued, "Later, my mother took me and Brother Shen to Guangren Temple to pray for blessings. I met Master Guangji and told him about this. The master said that I survived a great disaster and might have gained some kind of supernatural power, so I can dream about certain things. This is what Master Guangji said."
Xin He was afraid that her father would not believe her, so she emphasized again that this was what the monk said. Qin Mingxuan was surprised to hear his daughter say this. He thought about it carefully and realized that his daughter was indeed a little different from before since she woke up from the water. She always seemed to have her own ideas about many things.
Could it be true, as Master Guangji said, that his daughter survived the catastrophe and gained some kind of supernatural power? But if such supernatural power were known to others, would people in the world think that his daughter was a monster?
Thinking of this result, Qin Mingxuan immediately asked Xinhe nervously: "Nannan, have you told anyone about this?" Seeing her father's nervous expression and asking such a question, Xinhe knew that her father probably believed it about 70%.
Moreover, Daddy asked such a question at this moment, which obviously showed that he believed in me and was afraid that my special ability would be discovered by the world and might be disadvantageous to me, so I was so nervous. Xinhe immediately smiled happily. Sure enough, my handsome daddy believed in me, and he loved me so much!
Xin He smiled and said, "Except for the Lantern Festival, when Nannan told Brother Shen, she didn't tell anyone else. Nannan was afraid that mother would worry about her daughter, so she didn't tell her. Daddy, don't tell mother either. Wait until mother gives birth to little brother safely before telling mother, okay?"
Qin Mingxuan also smiled. His daughter was so considerate and sensible! He touched his daughter's bun and suddenly remembered something and asked, "Nannan, Master Guangji said that dreaming like this will have an adverse effect on you? Will it be harmful to your body?"
Xin He paused for a moment, remembering what Master Guangji said about traveling between two lives. She didn't feel it the first time, but she felt weak the second time. But Dad couldn't know about this.
Seeing her father looking at her worriedly, Xin He smiled and comforted her father, saying, "It's okay. If something happens, I will dream about it. It's nothing to me. I will wake up after a good sleep. Don't worry, Dad."
Qin Mingxuan was relieved, and thought he should wait until Master Guangji came out of confinement to ask him about it. He looked at his daughter and asked, "So when you stopped Concubine Shen from lifting the ban, did you also dream about Concubine Shen doing something bad?"
Xin He shook her head: "I didn't dream about Concubine Shen doing bad things. Nannan dreamed about General Shen. Nannan dreamed that General Shen gave a box of perfume powder to one of the concubine's maids, saying that it was for the concubine, and then... Nannan dreamed that the concubine was released from the ban and was with the emperor again, and as a result, the emperor was poisoned."
The more Qin Mingxuan listened, the more solemn his expression became. Xinhe continued, "Nannan also dreamed that after the emperor was poisoned, Shen Taiwei took the opportunity to force the emperor to abdicate. He kidnapped the empress and the prince. In order to protect the prince, the empress was killed by Shen Taiwei."
Xin He's eyes were filled with tears when she said this, and she hugged her father's neck again: "Daddy, the emperor and the queen are very good to Nannan and Brother Shen, although the emperor always favors Concubine Shen and is not close to the queen. Nannan doesn't like the emperor doting on Concubine Shen like this."
"But Nannan doesn't want anything to happen to the emperor. I like the queen and the prince, and I don't want anything to happen to them. Daddy, you have to find a way to protect the emperor and them. Commander Shen is so bad, he killed the queen."
Qin Mingxuan could imagine the scene of forcing the emperor to abdicate after hearing what Xin He said. If it really happened, how tragic it would be. He asked tentatively, "What about the emperor?"
Xin He finally shed tears: "The Queen is dead, the Emperor was poisoned and died of grief. Only the Crown Prince is left, how pitiful!"
Qin Mingxuan wiped away the tears from his daughter's eyes and continued to ask, "Does Nannan know the specific time in her dream?" Xinhe was stunned. Yes, she never knew the specific time she went back to.
Xin He could only shake her head and said, "I don't have a specific time, I just dreamed about it happening. But judging from the ages of Crown Prince and Brother Shen, the time for forcing the emperor to abdicate is not too far away."
Qin Mingxuan nodded, and then reminded Xinhe, "Nannan, just tell Daddy about this, and don't tell anyone else, understand?"
Xinhe nodded and assured her father: "Nannan won't tell anyone else. If others find out, they will think Nannan is a monster. Nannan is not a monster, she is a fairy."
Qin Mingxuan smiled: "No, Daddy will protect Nannan. Nannan is Daddy and Mommy's little fairy." Qin Mingxuan held his daughter in his arms and agreed with her that this was a secret between father and daughter and Ji Wanran must not know. Xinhe happily made a pinky promise with Daddy. It was such a happy thing to have a little secret with Daddy. And Daddy believed in her so much that he didn't even suspect that she was lying. Xinhe secretly said sorry to Daddy in her heart.
Now is not the time to tell the truth. In fact, Xin He does not want her parents to know her past life unless she has to. She would rather her miserable life only remain in her memory. The father and daughter agreed to keep the secret between them and returned to the Qin Mansion happily.
Ji Wanran took good care of herself during her pregnancy. Qin Mingxuan handed over the affairs of the mansion to Uncle Qin and did not let Ji Wanran worry about anything.
Ji Wanran cherished this child very much. The death of her first child had always been a pain in her heart. When the child was born, she only took a look at him before the midwife took him away and handed him over to the doctor for treatment.
Finally, the mother-in-law came back and said that the child was gone, and she was really heartbroken. But at that time, Xinhe had just been born and was dying, and Ji Wanran was so scared that she didn't have the energy to take care of the dead child.
After returning home to recuperate, Ji Wanran thought of the child who was hastily buried in the village and felt sorry for the child. It was said that the death of a newborn baby was not good for the family. Her dead child could not even enter the Qin family's ancestral tomb and could only stay in that small village.
In the past few years, Xinhe has grown up gradually, and the lively and lovely daughter around her has filled the missing part in Ji Wanran's heart. However, whenever she thinks of the child who died in infancy and whose soul was left outside without a place to stay, Ji Wanran feels unbearable heartache.
Ji Wanran set up a longevity tablet for her eldest daughter who died young in Guangji Temple, hoping that in the next life her poor eldest daughter would be reborn into a good family, rich and safe.
Ji Wanran knew that her husband always felt guilty about not being able to stay by her side when he was away on business, which caused Ji Wanran and her two daughters to be in danger. Therefore, Ji Wanran kept the death of her eldest daughter in her heart and never talked about this child with her husband. She only projected all her motherly love on Xinhe.
Ji Wanran was already seven months pregnant, and Liu Niang and her maids stayed by her side, fearing that something might happen to her. At this moment, Ji Wanran was talking to Liu Niang about what to prepare for childbirth, when Qin Mingxuan and his daughter came back.
Qin Mingxuan and his daughter also brought back some cakes from Fuxin Pastry Shop for Ji Wanran. Xinhe saw her mother happily holding her hand and carefully escorting her to sit down at the table, letting her taste the sweet-scented osmanthus cake she had just bought: "Mom, come and try it, it's still hot and smells so good."
Ji Wanran smiled and picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth: "Well, let Nannan try it for mother first." Xinhe ate the sweet osmanthus cake in her mouth, picked up a piece and stuffed it into her mother's mouth: "It's delicious, mother, try it, this is picked by father and Xiner personally!"
While tasting the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Ji Wanran asked, "Why did you two think of buying cakes for me?" Xin He shrank her neck and looked at Qin Mingxuan hurriedly. Qin Mingxuan blinked at her and said to his wife with a smile, "Xin Er said that the cakes at Fuxin Pastry Shop are delicious, so I thought of letting you try some too."
Looking at her considerate husband and daughter, Ji Wanran felt infinitely satisfied. Although she lost a child, God gave her a gentle and considerate husband, and left her with a lovely and caring little daughter. This was already a gift from God, and she should be content.
Ji Wanran was filled with happiness, but she didn't notice the strange look on Qin Mingxuan's face when he and his daughter talked about Fuxin Dim Sum Shop. They went to the Dim Sum Shop to buy cakes for Ji Wanran, but more importantly, Xinhe had told her father that Fuxin Dim Sum Shop was a base for Shen Taiwei and the secret agents to contact the palace.
Qin Mingxuan and Yu Huaian had also been investigating General Shen. Hearing that this was a secret contact point, Qin Mingxuan immediately took his daughter to check it out. After returning home, he arranged for a guard to keep a close eye on the snack shop. Once he found any trace of General Shen, he would report immediately.
Xinhe felt more at ease when she saw that her father had been paying attention to Fuxin Dim Sum Shop. If she kept a close eye on this dim sum shop, she would surely be able to catch Commandant Shen.
Speaking of Fuxin Dim Sum Shop, Xinhe suddenly remembered a person who liked to go to the dim sum shop, that is Su Peiyun. Xinhe seemed to have not seen Su Peiyun in the mansion for a long time.
Xinhe asked Ji Wanran curiously: "Mom, why haven't I seen Aunt Peiyun for a long time?" Before revealing the true face of this bad woman, Xinhe could only reluctantly call Su Peiyun aunt.
When Ji Wanran heard her daughter talking about Su Peiyun, she suddenly felt that it had been a long time since she had seen Su Peiyun come to her for a chat. She had been indifferent to Su Peiyun since her daughter fell into the water. Su Peiyun was also very tactful and rarely came to her to show off. However, Su Peiyun still wanted to show her presence in the Qin Mansion. She would come to her for a chat three or two days a month. It seemed that she had not appeared in front of her for several months.
Ji Wanran also looked at Liu Niang in confusion. Liu Niang bowed and said, "Madam, my cousin requested to return to her husband's hometown a few months ago to pay respects to her husband's family and her own family to pay respects to her father. The master said that such a small matter should not bother you, so Butler Qin arranged a carriage and entourage for my cousin, and she went."
Ji Wanran looked at Qin Mingxuan, and Qin Mingxuan nodded: "Well, I know about this. After all, Su Bo is my father's savior. She wants to return to her hometown to pay tribute, so I arranged for Uncle Qin to make proper arrangements to show our gratitude."
For Ji Wanran, this was indeed not something worth paying attention to. She nodded to show that she knew about it and let it go. However, Xinhe was full of doubts. She was worshipping her father and her husband's family. Xinhe didn't believe that Su Peiyun would go to worship her husband. She caused the whole family of her husband's family to die in the sea of fire. How could she have the face to face the dead people in her husband's family? There must be a conspiracy.
