The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Prince Cheng suppressed the hatred surging in his heart, looked at the time, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "That idiot Shen Tuo should have taken action already. Shen Tuo, please don't let me down. I have waited too long for this good show between you and my royal brother."

At this time, a secret guard reported outside the door: "Master Yu, we have discovered that Master Shen has already started sending people to the homes of the masters. According to your instructions, the young master, Madam Qin, and Miss Qin have been escorted into the palace."

Obviously, Qin Mingxuan didn't know that Yu Huaian had such an arrangement. He looked at Yu Huaian in surprise: "Brother Huaian, what are you doing?"

Yu Huaian bowed to the Queen and the Crown Prince and apologized: "Please forgive me for not reporting it in advance. I learned that the villain Shen Tuo intended to hold the ministers hostage. Lord Qin and I have long been thorns in Shen Tuo's side. I was afraid that my family would get into trouble, so I brought my family and Lord Qin's family to the palace in advance."

The Queen said repeatedly, "Mr. Yu is right. If you bring Wanran and the children into the palace, you won't have to worry about anything. I and the Crown Prince won't have to worry about them either. Quickly, call them in."

Not long after, Ji Wanran brought Yu Shen and Xinhe into the house. Ji Wanran still looked a little uneasy, but the two children were calm and did not seem frightened.

After following Ji Wanran to pay respects to the Queen and the Crown Prince, Xin He quickly threw herself into the Queen's arms: "Queen, don't be afraid, Xin'er is here to protect you, and Brother Shen will also protect Brother Crown Prince."

The queen hugged the little girl's warm body, and her heart seemed to warm up as well. She gently patted the little girl's back and said, "Okay, okay, I will rely on my Xin'er to protect you."

Yu Shen looked at this girl who could not forget to act like a spoiled child and shook his head helplessly. Although he knew that his father and master had been prepared for a long time, at this time, the palace coup was about to happen, and it was impossible not to be nervous. It was rare that this girl was so relaxed.

Yu Shen stood beside the prince. The prince looked at Yu Shen and said nothing, but just patted Yu Shen on the shoulder.

The prince suddenly remembered something and reported to the queen: "Mother, Shen Tuo will definitely rush into the palace. What should I do with my second and third brothers and the concubines in the harem?"

The queen looked at Yu Huaian and said, "Master Yu, quickly send someone to protect the concubines in the harem. If a coup occurs, their safety must be ensured."

Yu Huaian received the order and sent people to make the arrangements. The Crown Prince did not mention the Fourth Prince just now, Xin He asked curiously: "Where is the Fourth Prince?" At this time, the door of the inner room opened, and the Fourth Prince stood at the door and shouted to Xin He: "Sister Xin'er, I'm here. My mother... "

The tears that he had held back for a long time finally flowed down his face. The fourth prince's strength finally collapsed after seeing Xinhe. The Queen whispered in Xinhe's ear, and Xinhe understood in her heart, but she didn't expect Concubine Shen to be so resolute.

To be honest, he did hate Concubine Shen in his heart. She was jealous of his mother and had repeatedly harmed her, even sending people to take his sister away. The misery in his previous life must have been related to her.

However, she was also a pitiful person. She was framed by her own biological father and entered the palace. She was tricked into poisoning the emperor without knowing it, and was even forced to kill the emperor and frame the prince.

Fortunately, she did not make the same mistake again and again, and finally made the right choice for the Fourth Prince. However, such a maternal family was already an unbearable burden for the Fourth Prince.

Xin He walked out of the Queen's arms and quickly approached the Fourth Prince. She stood in front of the Fourth Prince, took his hand, and gently wiped the tears from his face: "Fourth Prince, don't be sad. Although Concubine Shen was wrong, she still loves you very much. When we catch Shen... catch the real murderer behind the scenes, we will definitely be able to get the antidote to detoxify your mother."

The fourth prince looked at Xin He comforting him in a gentle voice, and he could no longer hold back. He hugged Xin He and cried on her shoulder. The panic, guilt, and sense of guilt in his heart were finally vented at this moment.

After his mother got into trouble, the way the maids and eunuchs in the palace looked at him made the Fourth Prince unbearable. He seemed to hear their whispers: "Look, it's the Fourth Prince's in-laws who are planning a rebellion, and his mother has harmed the Emperor."

He didn't dare to face the Queen, didn't dare to see the Crown Prince, he could only hide in front of his mother's bed in panic. At this time, only Xin He didn't despise him, didn't hate him, and could sincerely comfort him. At this time, Xin He was like a ray of sunshine in the dark night, shining in his heart and dispelling the fog in his heart.

Since she grew older, Xinhe no longer allowed the Fourth Prince to cuddle and play with her like they did when they were little.

But today, when the Fourth Prince, who had grown much taller, hugged her, Xin He still did not push him away. She knew that the Fourth Prince was the most vulnerable at this moment. He was crying loudly, just like when he was a child and she bullied him and had the food snatched from his hands.

Xinhe knew the anxiety in the Fourth Prince's heart. As his childhood playmate and good friend, all she could give him at this moment was comfort and companionship.

She let the Fourth Prince cry on his shoulder, patted his back constantly with her hand, and continued to comfort him softly.

Yu Shen, who was standing by, watched all this and felt a little uncomfortable. This fat prince had always been acting like a spoiled child in front of Xinhe since he was a child. Now that he had grown so tall, he became even more spoiled.

Qin Mingxuan watched his daughter comfort the Fourth Prince in a gentle voice and remained silent. His daughter was kind-hearted. Although he hated Shen Tuo and Shen Yining very much, the honest Fourth Prince was not wrong. The grudges between adults should not affect the children.

Yu Huaian looked at the two children and thought of the Fourth Prince's terrible grandfather and mother. He felt a little indignant, but he just looked at Qin Mingxuan without saying anything. He could only snort coldly and said nothing.

Prince Cheng looked at everyone with interest. Qin Mingxuan's little girl had grown up. He looked carefully at Xinhe's face and they really looked exactly the same, but the other one looked more like her mother, while this one had a heroic air.

I heard that this little girl was practicing martial arts with Yu Huaian. Thinking of the girl who practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I wonder which one their parents would like more? Prince Cheng felt that the game he set would be very interesting.

Ji Wanran didn't like Shen Yining, and by the way, she also didn't like the Fourth Prince. Seeing the Fourth Prince holding her daughter and crying, while her husband stood aside silently, she gently tugged at her husband's sleeve with some anger, and signaled with her eyes that her husband should call her daughter back.

Qin Mingxuan looked at the two children and coughed softly: "Xin'er, tell the Fourth Prince to stop crying. You all go to the inner room to rest. We still have a lot of things to discuss."

Xinhe knew that this coup was bound to happen, because the emperor would use it to eliminate the Shen family's influence in the court and the harem, leaving a clean court for the prince.

However, because of her reminder, Daddy and the Emperor had already made preparations in advance, Xin He was not panicked. She nodded and pulled the Fourth Prince into the inner room. Yu Shen stayed beside the Crown Prince and listened to them arrange the subsequent matters together.

Xinhe felt that someone was staring at her closely. She followed the gaze and looked over. She hadn't noticed it before, but now she realized that Prince Cheng was also here.

Looking at Prince Cheng's scrutinizing eyes, the scene of him stabbing her chest with a sword in her previous life immediately appeared before her eyes again. Her chest seemed to be filled with waves of severe pain, and she couldn't help but cover her chest with her hands.

Why is Prince Cheng here? It seems that the prince is very close to him. The queen also looks at him with a kind look. The Prince Cheng in front of him is dressed in white and has a graceful demeanor. He is completely different from the fierce Prince Cheng in his previous life.

Xin He really couldn't figure out what role Cheng Jun Wang played in the whole incident. He had a hunch that this man must not be as weak and harmless as he appeared.

Xin He was anxiously thinking about Prince Cheng, and helped her mother into the inner room to sit down and rest. Ji Wanran looked at the tense situation in the palace, feeling a little uneasy. She held her daughter's hand tightly and kept asking, "Nannan, will your father and the others be okay?"

Ji Wanran has been spoiled since she was young. After getting married, she was held in the palm of her husband's hand and she didn't have to worry about anything. Even at her mother's age, she was still like a girl in the boudoir. But now that she has encountered a big event, she is not as calm as the daughter next to her.

Xin He gently hugged her uneasy mother in her arms and comforted her softly, "Mom, don't worry, Dad and Uncle will be safe."

The Fourth Prince was still sitting in front of Concubine Shen's bed. He gently held Concubine Shen's hand and looked at her face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Outside, Yu Huaian and Qin Mingxuan were reporting to the Queen and the Crown Prince on the arrangements for guarding the imperial palace. Prince Cheng was listening nearby, secretly amazed in his heart that Yu Huaian and Qin Mingxuan were indeed two capable men, and the two of them, one civil and one military, had arranged everything perfectly.

From what they said, even if he had not entered the palace to inform on Shen Tuo today, the emperor had already made all the preparations in advance. It seemed that this was a trap arranged by the emperor in advance, just waiting for Shen Tuo to take action so that he could get rid of the Shen family openly.

Prince Cheng secretly laughed at Shen Tuozhi's complacent arrangements, thinking that they were in vain. Now the trap has been set and they are just waiting for him to take the bait.

Thinking of this, Prince Cheng couldn't help but feel proud that he had erased all traces of himself in advance since the day he started working with Shen Tuo. The emperor and others would not be able to find any traces of him. After all, the people left for him by his mother were all masters from southern Xinjiang, and they were even more powerful than Yu Huaian's secret guards.

How could a smart man like me follow that idiot Shen Tuo to do something that was uncertain? If I didn't take action, then it would be fine. But if I did take action, I would definitely hit the target with one strike.

Prince Cheng listened silently to the arrangements made by Yu Huaian and Qin Mingxuan. Everything was ready. His only worry now was why the emperor was still unconscious when he should wake up.

If the emperor still does this, once Shen Tuo breaks into the palace, the palace will lack a person in charge. After all, the prince is still young and has never experienced such a big scene.

Seeing the worried expressions on Yu Huaian and the others' faces, the Queen took the Crown Prince's hand and said, "Don't worry, my two lords. If the Emperor can't wake up, I and the Crown Prince will face the traitor alone! We will never retreat even a single step."

Yu Huaian and Qin Mingxuan looked at each other. If the time came, the Queen and the Crown Prince would have to take over. However, when the two armies faced off, it depended on people's hearts and morale. It was different when the Emperor was there and when the Queen and the Crown Prince were there.

Prince Cheng thought to himself, Shen Tuo, ah Shen Tuo, I let the emperor continue to sleep, this is the greatest help I can give you, it all depends on how strong you are, old man.

Yu Huaian and Qin Mingxuan were busy arranging personnel in the outer hall, and the orders were passed down one by one. Shen Bin, who was lying on the bed in the room, suddenly woke up. The imperial physician gave her an injection, which temporarily stopped the spread of the poison. She woke up after sleeping for half a day.

When she opened her eyes, she saw her son standing beside her with tears in his eyes. Seeing the child's depressed and sad appearance, Shen Bin's tears also burst out.

She gently called her son, "Jingyu, I'm sorry." The fourth prince was surprised and happy to see his mother wake up, and immediately knelt down in front of the bed: "Mother, you're awake, how do you feel? Is it still painful?"

Suqin, who had been serving beside her, also rushed over crying, "My queen, you finally woke up. Why are you so stupid? Are you willing to leave the fourth prince behind?"

The suicide of a concubine was also a serious crime. Once Concubine Shen died, the Fourth Prince's situation in the palace would be very difficult. The Fourth Prince cried out again: "Mother, please don't abandon your son. I will listen to you in the future, study hard and practice martial arts, and never make you angry."

Concubine Shen stretched out her hand with difficulty to wipe away the tears on her son's face, but finally let it go weakly.

Xin He stepped forward and stood in front of Concubine Shen: "Madam Shen, your poison has not yet been cured. Emotional excitement will cause the toxins in your body to spread. You should rest well, so that His Highness the Fourth Prince will be relieved."

Concubine Shen turned her head with difficulty and looked at Xinhe: "It's Miss Qin, where is your mother?" Ji Wanran was sitting far away. She didn't want to be in the same room with Concubine Shen. This woman had always been causing trouble for her and almost caused something to happen to her during her pregnancy.

When she heard Concubine Shen asking her, she had no choice but to stand up and walk in front of Concubine Shen, bowing slightly: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you."

Concubine Shen stared at Ji Wanran steadily. She had always hated this woman, thinking that she had snatched away her lover and it was also because of her that she made a fool of herself in the palace and had to follow the emperor.

That's why I kept making trouble for her, and even... when I think about what I have done, it was really a sin!

I am already in this state. The poison I took was intended to kill the emperor by my father. How could there be an antidote? When a man is about to die, his words are good. I should do something good.

She took a few deep breaths and said to Ji Wanran, "Madam, I'm sorry. I mistook you for my enemy, so I'm still brooding over you. I still... still..."

Suqin, who was standing beside her, realized what Shenpin was going to say, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Madam, you..." Shenpin smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I'm going to die, there's nothing I can't say." She looked at Ji Wanran who was surprised: "Madam, you still have a daughter who is wandering outside!"
