The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Afterwards, the prince hesitated for a moment and asked the emperor: "Father, if the perfume powder in Concubine Shen's possession is indeed poison, what will you do?"

The emperor hesitated for a moment and asked Qin Mingxuan: "Does the information you found confirm that Concubine Shen knew about Shen Tuo's plan?"

Qin Mingxuan reported: "Based on the information I have received so far, it seems that General Shen did not tell Concubine Shen the truth. He must be afraid that Concubine Shen would know the truth and expose her whereabouts, and be discovered by the emperor."

Xin He also poked her head out and said, "Looking at the situation today, Concubine Shen doesn't seem to know the truth. If she knew it was poison and could still face everyone so calmly, that would be terrible!" The emperor glared at her and said, "What do you know, little girl? Reflect on your sins."

The emperor remembered the seriousness of the matter and called Zhang Dequan, who was outside the palace, and ordered him to summon Yu Huaian to the palace to discuss how to deal with the matter. Zhang Dequan left immediately.

The emperor seemed to remember something and continued, "You little girl, you are not honest in the palace, and you dare to eavesdrop on your father's state affairs at home. You are really a troublemaker!"

The emperor looked at Qin Mingxuan helplessly: "My dear Qin, this girl of yours is getting more and more daring. She injured my concubines in my harem, and you let her eavesdrop on state affairs at home. Aren't you afraid that she will cause you some disaster?"

Qin Mingxuan replied seriously: "My daughter is smart and precocious, and has a lot of opinions on many things. I always want to train my daughter as a son. I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty!" Xinhe also followed her father's example: "I am guilty, please punish me, Your Majesty."

The prince held back his laughter. It seemed that Xin'er's mischief was not out of thin air. Lord Qin could be quite irritating sometimes. The reason why Lord Qin was so fearless was that he knew that his father would not be really angry.

Xin He looked at the emperor's face and saw that he was not so angry anymore. She quickly went forward and said, "Your Majesty, Xin He knows she was wrong. She shouldn't have been so eager to save him that she attacked and hurt someone in front of your Majesty."

The little girl said while looking at the emperor's face: "Your Majesty, Xin'er is so bold that she dared to take action in front of the emperor and the secret guard brother. She is simply showing off her skills in front of an expert and overestimating her own abilities..."

"Alright, alright, I know you have learned a few idioms. There is no need to show off your knowledge in front of me, right?" The emperor heard the little girl spouting idioms one after another and hurriedly tried to stop her.

However, Xin He still persisted in expressing her loyalty to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please forgive Xin Er. Xin Er was so reckless because she was devoted to you."

The prince saw that his father's face seemed to no longer be angry. He was probably teasing Xinhe at this moment. He smiled and stood aside watching Xinhe act coquettishly with the emperor.

The emperor still said with a stern face: "You said you knew you were wrong, then how do you think I should punish you?" The fat girl looked at the emperor with her big eyes blinking, and said with a smile: "Then please punish Xin'er to spend more time with the queen, so that the queen will be happier, okay, Your Majesty?"

The emperor looked at the annoying father and daughter and was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, but he couldn't really punish them.

The emperor said to Xin He, "I know that you, a little girl, don't like to study, so I will punish you by making you copy fifty poems and recite them. Prince, please supervise her for me and don't show favoritism. I will conduct random checks."

Xin He's face immediately wrinkled into a bun, and she pulled the emperor's sleeve and said, "No, Your Majesty, you should beat me up. Copying poems and reciting them is going to kill Xin Er!"

Seeing the little girl howling like a ghost, the emperor was very satisfied with the effect of the punishment. His anger disappeared, and he continued, "This is my punishment. You have to do what you said just now about going to accompany the queen to have fun."

The emperor continued, "Since your father wants to raise you as a boy, you must be as good at both civil and military affairs as the young master of the Yu family. How can you only wield a sword and a stick? You will only cause trouble. Recite your poems and control your temper. This is an imperial decree and you must not disobey."

Seeing that the emperor would not forgive her, Xin He had no choice but to accept: "I accept your order, thank you, Your Majesty!" The emperor was very satisfied that he had finally subdued this bold girl. He turned around and told the prince: "Prince, don't tell anyone else about Concubine Shen's matter. Wait until Lord Qin and I come up with a proposal before making other arrangements."

Xin He nodded quickly, "Your Majesty is wise. You must keep calm and not alert the enemy. Commander Shen is very cunning." The Emperor covered his head and looked at the prince, "Why, has your master given special treatment to Xin girl during this period? You use these idioms one after another. Do I have to reward your master with something?"

The prince smiled and said, "Father, this is not Master's work. This is all due to Master Yu's supervision. Master no longer complains about Sister Xin'er and even praised her the day before yesterday."

The emperor was very curious: "The bad students who used to give the master a headache were actually cured by Yu Shen?" Xin He complained bitterly: "Your Majesty, you don't know that Brother Shen asked me to recite poems and idioms. If I can't recite them, he won't let Uncle Yu teach me kung fu. I can only study hard, otherwise when can I become a peerless master?"

When the emperor heard that someone could control this girl who gave him a headache, he couldn't help but laugh: "Well done, Yu Shen! This time I will punish you with a poem. If you can't recite it, I will not allow Yu Huaian to teach you kung fu. Hahaha!"

Xin He stared with her dark eyes, pouted her lips and complained to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am worried about your safety, but you treat me like this. I am angry. I will tell the Queen that you are bullying me."

The emperor was still very happy: "Go ahead, go ahead. I'm not afraid of you complaining! Hahaha!" Xin He stared at her father. Qin Mingxuan spread his hands helplessly: "It's useless to look at my father. My father is a subject and can only listen to the emperor."

The prince quickly made his position clear: "As a son, I can only listen to my father. I can't help you anymore."

The emperor looked at Xin He's frustrated look and felt that he had finally let out his anger, and he felt much better. Thinking of the important matter of Shen Taiwei that he had to discuss with Qin Mingxuan, he put away his smile and said to the prince, "Take Xin Er to your mother's palace to play first, and I will pick up Xin Er after I have discussed things with Qin Mingxuan."

The prince and Xin He knew that the emperor wanted to discuss important matters, so they bowed and left. When they came out, they happened to run into Yu Huaian who was summoned to the palace.

Yu Huaian saw the prince and quickly saluted, and the prince also politely greeted Yu Huaian. The prince always treated Qin Mingxuan, Yu Huaian and other loyal subjects of the emperor with courtesy.

Yu Huaian turned around and saw the fat girl looking unhappy, and asked with a smile: "Who messed with our girl Xin today? She looks unhappy!"

Xin He looked up at Yu Huaian and said, "Uncle Yu, I got into trouble today." Yu Huaian raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, our Xin Er is so well-behaved and sensible, how could she get into trouble?"

Xin He pouted: "Today, I used a hidden weapon in the Queen's Palace in front of the Emperor. It was the little bead you gave me that knocked Concubine Shen down."

Yu Huaian was delighted when he heard this: "You hit the target in the first shot. Not bad, not bad. You really have talent. Your uncle was right. Haha, not bad, not bad."

The prince's mouth twitched when he heard this. Lord Yu was indeed very bold. He only listened half way and only heard that the disciple he taught had made some achievements. He did not hear that he took action in the Queen's Palace in front of the Emperor, which was a serious crime.

Xin He reminded Yu Huaian: "Uncle, listen carefully, you did it in the Queen's Palace in front of the Emperor, but it is a crime!"

Yu Huaian was very surprised: "I taught you to do it secretly, the emperor and the queen can't find out." Xin He said dejectedly, "Of course the emperor can't find out, but don't you know the level of the secret guards you trained? If they find me, the emperor will know too."

Yu Huaian must have been discovered by the secret guards, and he was happy again: "Of course, the secret guards I trained are of very high level, it's normal for you to be discovered by them. It's okay!"

The prince was stunned. Lord Yu, you can't find the main point of your words. You only know how to praise your little disciple and continue to praise your secret guards. You really don't take the emperor's supremacy as a big deal!

Xin He seemed to be comforted by her master. She nodded and said, "Yes, I'm still young. It's normal for me to be discovered by the secret guards. I must continue to practice hard." Suddenly she remembered the emperor's punishment and looked unhappy again, "But the emperor punished me to copy poems and recite them. Uncle, save me!"

Yu Huaian laughed when he heard it. This punishment method sounded familiar, as if he had learned it from his own son. The fat girl was not afraid of hardship or fatigue in martial arts training, but was afraid of memorizing books and practicing calligraphy. He would use this method to punish the little girl, and it would be a sure thing.

Yu Huaian expressed deep sympathy and could only spread his hands towards Xin He: "Xin girl, you know, I can't do anything if your brother Shen punishes you, not to mention that he is the emperor, there is nothing I can do!"

Yu Huaian glanced at the prince, bent down and whispered to Xin He: "At most, uncle can help you copy a few articles, but you still have to memorize them by yourself. Uncle can't help you with this."

The prince heard it all clearly. They were discussing cheating in front of him. It was really hard to describe what was going on between the master and the disciple! The prince quietly stood aside, away from them, pretending that he could not hear anything.

Zhang Dequan, who led Yu Huaian into the palace, stood aside and listened to the master and disciple blatantly discussing how to disobey the emperor's order, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.

The emperor came out of Kunning Palace today with an unhappy face. He must have been frustrated by the empress again. Zhang Dequan was worried that the emperor would be unhappy for a long time. Who knew that Miss Qin's misfortune successfully diverted the emperor's attention. Now that Miss Qin was punished, the emperor's mood immediately turned from cloudy to sunny. She is really the happy fruit of the emperor and the empress!

Xinhe saw that her master could not save her and she could not escape the fifty poems, so she had to follow the prince to Kunning Palace reluctantly.

When the Queen saw that Xinhe, who had happily left the palace, had come back with the Crown Prince and was looking unhappy, she hugged Xinhe in her arms and asked her what was wrong with concern.

Xin He didn't know whether she should tell the Queen about General Shen, so she looked at the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince thought about it and although the Emperor had told him not to make the matter public before he left, his father never kept secrets from his mother. So the Crown Prince stepped forward and whispered to the Queen about General Shen's poisoning.

The more the queen listened, the more nervous she became, and the tighter she hugged Xinhe. Xinhe quickly hugged the queen and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, queen, it's okay, the emperor is okay."

The Queen felt a little scared when she remembered that she had asked Shenpin to accompany the Emperor today. If Xinhe hadn't stopped Shenpin, Shenpin would have gone to accompany the Emperor today with poison.

Seeing the Queen's nervous and worried expression, Xin He hurriedly diverted the Queen's attention. She hugged the Queen's arm and complained to her aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor punished Xin Er today and asked her to copy fifty poems and recite them. Do you think the Emperor is repaying kindness with enmity?"

After hearing this, the Queen stood firmly on Xin He's side. She raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "Yes, she can't be punished. Our Xin Er has done a great thing. When I see the Emperor, I will speak up for Xin Er and cancel the punishment."

The prince rarely saw the queen's lively expression. He covered his mouth and coughed, saying, "Mother, my father just said that this is an imperial decree and must not be disobeyed."

The queen was speechless. After all, it was no small matter to act arbitrarily in the palace. Moreover, the emperor had already said that this was an imperial decree. She couldn't let the emperor go back on his word and damage his reputation.

The more the queen thought about it, the angrier she got. "When it's time to follow the rules, your father turns a blind eye and spoils some people to the point of lawlessness. Now he's being strict with Xin'er. Humph!"

Seeing that the queen was getting angrier and angrier, Xin'er quickly spoke to the emperor again, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. The emperor has already given Xin'er a small punishment but a big warning. If everyone is as unruly as Xin'er, the palace will be in chaos. Xin'er also abides by the rules and cannot be arrogant because of her favor."

After saying that, she straightened her back and said confidently, "Isn't it just fifty poems? Xin'er can finish it." Then she leaned over to the queen's ear and said, "Uncle Yu asked me to copy a few for me, so help me share the burden."

The Queen couldn't help but laugh. Master Yu was so grown up but still acted like a child. The Queen touched Xin He's chubby face and said with emotion: "Our Xin Er is a little lucky star!"

"Mother, why do you say that Sister Xin'er is a lucky star?" Following this question, the fat little Fourth Prince ran in, and after greeting the Queen and the Crown Prince excitedly, he said happily, "I heard from Mother that Sister Xin'er entered the palace. I haven't seen her for a long time. I came here specially to see Sister Xin'er."

The Queen looked at the Fourth Prince with complicated eyes. Thinking of how Concubine Shen almost became the murderer who poisoned the Emperor, she didn't want to see her and her son. But the Crown Prince had just said that Concubine Shen was unaware of the situation and used the incense only to win favor. The Fourth Prince was always honest and a good child, but it was a pity that he was born in the Shen family.

The queen secretly sighed. No matter what happened between adults, she couldn't let innocent children get hurt. The queen smiled and asked the fourth prince, "Fourth Prince, how is your mother's foot injury?"

Speaking of Concubine Shen's foot injury, Xin He also felt a little guilty and looked straight at the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince waved his hand nonchalantly: "The imperial physician said that it will be fine after a few days of rest. Thank you, mother, for your concern."
