The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Yu Shen did not say too much to the Fourth Prince. After all, the situation in the palace was tense and there was no room for further discussion. The Queen was staring at the Prince, intent on replacing him as Shen Tuo's hostage.

However, Shen Tuo kept urging Zi Yuan in a harsh voice to bring the prince over as soon as possible.

Zi Yuan listened to Shen Tuo's scolding and looked at the anxious expression on the Queen's face. The Prince in her hands was also anxious and was reluctant to let the Queen take his place as a hostage.

The prince turned around and urged Ziyuan: "Aunt Ziyuan, please take me over quickly. I can't let my mother take risks for me."

Zi Yuan choked up a little: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I..."

The prince looked at Zi Yuan and said calmly: "Everyone has their own relatives. You are doing this for your brother, which is understandable. It's okay if you hurt me, but if you hurt my mother, I will never let you go."

As the prince spoke, he turned his gaze to the queen: "Aunt Ziyuan, you have been with mother since you were a child. You also know how much mother has sacrificed for her family and for me. I can't let mother get hurt for me again."

"You can hurt me, but you must not hurt the Queen Mother. Everyone can see how good the Queen Mother is to you. The Queen Mother always thought you had no relatives, and out of pity for you being alone, she treated you like a real sister. But you... I only ask you to keep the Queen Mother safe."

Zi Yuan couldn't hold back her tears at last and fell. She really felt sorry for the Queen. On one side were her biological brothers and the trust entrusted by her parents before their death, and on the other side was the Queen who treated her like a sister.

Choosing either side would be an extremely painful choice. Now listening to the prince's words, Zi Yuan's guilt was hard to suppress, and she was in a dilemma. The hand holding the dagger was shaking constantly.

At this time, Xin He had quietly moved step by step behind the prince and Zi Yuan. She relied on her small size to hide behind Zi Yuan without being noticed.

Xin He heard everything the prince said. She continued to say to Zi Yuan: "Aunt Zi Yuan, we all know that you had no choice. Aunt, you are too anxious. You didn't think clearly in a hurry, so how can you take Shen Tuo's words seriously?"

"Aunt, have you ever thought about this? Even if you listened to Shen Tuo and helped him kidnap the prince, would he still be able to take care of your brother if you and Shen Tuo fled in panic?"

"Even if he could really release your brother, you have committed such a serious crime. Do you have the heart to let your brother live his whole life with the reputation of a criminal's family after he just escaped from the clutches of the enemy? He can't study and take the imperial examinations. What future does he have?"

Zi Yuan shuddered after hearing what Xin He said. She knew that what Xin He said was right. Looking at the situation, it would be difficult for Shen Tuo to escape even if he kidnapped the prince.

If anything happened to the prince, he would be the first culprit and his brother's future would be ruined. It would be good enough if he could keep his life.

Did I really do something wrong? Zi Yuan looked at Xin He hesitantly: "Ms. Xin He, I... I don't know, what should I do?"

Xin He whispered, "Aunt Ziyuan, at this moment you have no choice but to let go of the Crown Prince and protect the Queen and the Crown Prince. This may help you and your brother survive. I believe the Queen will definitely help you find your brother."

After hearing what Xin He said, Zi Yuan became even more shaken, and she couldn't help but put down the hand holding the dagger. Shen Tuo on the other side had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and suddenly saw Zi Yuan put down the hand holding the dagger, and he couldn't help but shouted angrily: "You bitch, do you think they will let you go if you let go now?"

The Queen said anxiously, "Zi Yuan, if you release the Crown Prince, I promise to help you find your brother and keep both of you safe."

While the two sides were arguing, everyone's attention was on the Queen, the Crown Prince and Shen Tuo, but Prince Cheng in the corner quietly made a gesture towards a corner against the wall.

A bunch of idiots are wasting their time here and can't accomplish anything great. It's better for me to make them more entertained. The eyes of Cheng Jun Wang looking at the prince became colder and colder.

This boy is said to be both civil and military, and has a good reputation among the court officials. He is recognized as the successor to the throne. Humph, the successor to the throne, Prince Cheng doesn't like this, so let the emperor take the trouble to train another one.

While everyone was not paying attention, Prince Cheng made an agreed gesture to the archer he had arranged long ago. Following Prince Cheng's gesture, an arrow suddenly shot out from a corner of the wall and headed straight for the prince.

The incident happened suddenly and everyone was stunned. Qin Mingxuan and Yu Huaian were standing far away. When they noticed the cold arrow, it was too late for them to get to the prince. They could only shout and ask the prince to dodge.

The prince was negotiating with Zi Yuan when he heard everyone's screams. He looked up and the cold arrow seemed to be reaching him. The prince was stunned for a moment.

When everyone was exclaiming, the queen next to him rushed forward and tried to block the prince. But Xin He, who was hiding behind Zi Yuan, was faster than the queen. She happened to be standing behind Zi Yuan. When she heard everyone's exclamation, Xin He quickly stepped forward, pushed the frightened Zi Yuan aside, and then stepped forward to hold the prince's waist and pushed him to the ground: "Brother Prince, get down quickly!"

At the same time, the Queen also rushed over. Xinhe saw that the cold arrow was already in front of her, and it was too late for her to knock the Queen down.

The scene of the Queen's death in the previous life immediately appeared in front of her. How could such a good Queen die? Xin He didn't have time to think about it, so she could only turn over quickly and pounce on the Queen.

At this time, the cold arrow had already arrived, and entered Xinhe's body with a sound of "Puff". The powerful arrow directly penetrated Xinhe's small body. Xinhe thought to herself that if she had used the kung fu of her previous life, she would have protected the queen and avoided this arrow. She was still not good at martial arts! Xinhe only murmured "It hurts" and fainted.

At this time, Qin Mingxuan, Yu Huaian and Yu Shen had already arrived in front of Xinhe. Seeing his daughter's miserable state, Qin Mingxuan's eyes were bloodshot and he roared: "Shen Tuo, old thief, give me your life! Shoot!"

Shen Tuo was also surprised when he saw the arrow being shot out. He blurted out: "It wasn't me!" He wanted to kidnap the prince and escape, so how could he arrange for someone to take the prince's life?

The Queen Mother was also shocked and stood up, trying to stop it: "No!" Before she finished her words, the soldiers who had been ambushing around the palace walls had heard Qin Mingxuan's order and immediately fired thousands of arrows!

The people brought by Shen Tuo quickly drew out their swords and used them to block the arrows, but they were already trapped in a jar, and it was difficult for them to escape under the rain of arrows.

There were only screams in the palace, and soon, all the people brought by Shen Tuo were wiped out. Shen Tuo was hit by several arrows, and he managed to support his body with his long sword and not fall down.

When Shen Tuo opened his mouth, blood spurted out. The Queen Mother saw Shen Tuo's miserable state, closed her eyes and fainted. Shen Tuo grinned with difficulty: "I won't accept it! I won't accept it!"

He glanced at the people opposite who were looking at him coldly, and finally his gaze fell on Prince Cheng. Prince Cheng had a calm expression and looked at Shen Tuo quietly, with a hint of smile on his lips.

Shen Tuo thought of his wife and children, and was filled with hatred, but in the end he only uttered one sentence: "You betrayed me! You will not die a hapless death!" Then he fell on his back and was silent again.

No one here paid attention to Shen Tuo's situation. The queen held Xinhe tightly in her arms and shouted loudly: "Call the imperial physician! Call the imperial physician!" Qin Mingxuan also squatted beside his daughter with a sad face. He wanted to touch his daughter with both hands but didn't know where to start.

The Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Yu family's father and son all surrounded the two of them, looking at Xin He with her eyes closed and her face pale. Although the Queen was covering the wound, blood was still flowing out.

At this time, Ji Wanran, who had been hiding in the back hall, came out when she heard the noise in the front hall. She had been worried about the situation ahead.

Just now, she wanted to take her daughter and son to hide in the back hall, telling her daughter not to get involved in the things in the front hall, as it was too dangerous. But her daughter insisted on going to the front hall, and she had to let go.

Before leaving, Xinhe told Xinnan to take good care of her mother. Xinnan puffed out her chest and assured her sister that she would protect her mother well. The little fat boy also sensibly told her sister to be careful.

She and her son had been concentrating on listening to the noise in the front hall, and finally heard everyone exclaiming "Xin He". She felt something was wrong, and when the noise stopped, she hurried out with Xin Nan. She didn't see her daughter, but saw everyone surrounding a person with serious faces.

She rushed over and stretched out her hands to push away the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, and saw her daughter's chest was covered in blood, her eyes were closed, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead. Xin Nan squeezed through the crowd, and when she saw her sister in such a state, she immediately rushed over: "Sister, sister, what's wrong with you? Answer Nan'er!"

Ji Wanran listened to her son's crying and looked at her daughter's miserable condition. She felt her blood boiling and fainted because she couldn't breathe.

At this time, the palace was in chaos. Seeing Qin Mingxuan's anxious face, Yu Huaian could not care about other things, so he had to step forward. He ordered the palace people to carry the unconscious queen mother and Madam Qin to the back hall, and at the same time ordered the palace guards and his own secret guards to immediately clean up the bodies and bloodstains in the palace.

At this time, Qin Mingxuan also took his daughter from the Queen and sent her to the bed in the back hall. Qin Mingxuan, who was always gentle and polite, got angry for a rare time: "Where is the imperial physician? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

The old doctors who came running over saw that Lord Qin was so angry and hurried forward to apologize. The Queen quickly asked them to stand up and told them to treat Xinhe, the unconscious Queen Mother and Madam Qin.

The imperial physician did not expect that the Queen would ask them to treat Miss Qin first, not the Queen Mother, even though Miss Qin's injuries seemed serious.

However, the Queen's tone was full of concern and anxiety, and when she ordered them to treat the Queen Mother, she was obviously a little careless.

The imperial doctors did not dare to be negligent and divided themselves into three groups. The imperial doctor with the highest medical skills was left to Xinhe, and the other two groups went to treat the empress dowager and Madam Qin respectively.

The imperial doctors all knew about this Miss Qin. Although she was the daughter of a minister, she was deeply loved by the emperor and the empress. She was allowed to enter and leave the palace at will, and she had a very good relationship with the princes. She was a well-known little celebrity in the palace.

This little girl did not take advantage of her favor and was very easy-going towards the imperial doctors, palace maids, eunuchs and other servants in the palace.

When the imperial physician was going forward to treat Xinhe, he was secretly shocked when he saw Xinhe's condition. It was a pity that such a lively and lovely girl had been so seriously injured. It was really pitiful.

The imperial physician did not dare to be negligent and used all his skills to give Xinhe acupuncture and medicine. Not to mention that the young lady of the Qin family was always respectful and polite to him when she saw him, he could not slack off. Looking at the anxious looks of the Queen and the Crown Prince, he knew that if he could not save the young lady of the Qin family today, his life would probably be over.

Prince Cheng had been watching the chaos in the palace with a cold eye. When he saw Shen Tuo's body being carried away, he secretly said in his heart: "He just relied on women to gain power and dared to covet the supreme power. He really overestimates his own abilities! He is courting death!"

He turned his head and whispered to his men beside him: "There is no need to keep Shen Tuo's wife and son, you go and do it yourself!"

The man responded and left.

Prince Cheng looked at the Empress Dowager being carried away by the palace maids and eunuchs, and felt a little pleasure in his heart: "Old woman, you stepped on my mother's corpse to ascend to the throne. I wonder how you feel today watching your Shen family become extinct!"

Prince Cheng put away the sneer on his face and went forward with his men to find the crown prince: "Your Highness, the traitor has been eliminated. I will go back to the palace to find herbs and instruct the palace doctor to prepare an antidote for the emperor and Concubine Shen to prevent the poisoning from lasting too long and damaging the emperor's body."

The prince looked at Prince Cheng with gratitude and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle. When father wakes up, I will ask for credit on his behalf."

Prince Cheng hurriedly declined humbly: "This is my duty, and I dare not take credit for it. Then I will take my leave." After saying that, Prince Cheng turned and left.

The people around Prince Cheng came forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Mr. Mei and Mr. Mo have returned safely to the palace and are waiting for your instructions."

Prince Cheng nodded and said, "Well, the two of them did a great job. They successfully seduced that idiot Shen Tuo into rebelling. I will definitely reward them handsomely when they return."

The subordinate hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Mei and Mr. Mo have been in the Taiwei Mansion before. If you use them again, will they be discovered?"

Prince Cheng sneered, "No, just give the order to kill all the people who know about it. These are my two generals. I still need their help in my next plan. How can I abandon them?"

Prince Cheng looked back at the chaotic palace and thought to himself, "Mother, I will not let this harm the peace of your palace. I will definitely avenge you. I enjoy the fun of this cat and mouse game. When I've had enough fun, I will send them down one by one to apologize to you." Then, Prince Cheng waved his sleeves and walked out leisurely.
