The little dark guard who travels between two lives

In the back hall of Kunning Palace, everyone gathered around Xinhe's bed, everyone's face was anxious, but no one spoke. Everyone looked solemnly at the imperial physician treating Xinhe.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the imperial physician felt his heartbeat quicken, sweat broke out on his back, and his hand holding the silver needle was trembling slightly.

It was the first time that the imperial physician Zheng had been stared at by so many important people while treating a patient. The pressure was too great. The imperial physician Zheng calmed down and quickly inserted a few needles into several acupuncture points. Finally, the bleeding in Xinhe's chest stopped.

When the imperial physician pulled out the arrow from Xinhe's chest just now, he really didn't dare to do it. The arrow was close to the heart and it would cause an irreparable wound if he was not careful.

Seeing that the imperial physician was hesitant and did not dare to take action, Yu Huaian finally gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and reached out to pull out the arrow for Xinhe.

As soon as the arrow was pulled out, a large amount of bright red blood gushed out of the wound. The Fourth Prince and Xin Nan, who were standing nearby, burst into tears immediately. The Fourth Prince also held the Crown Prince's hand and sobbed, "Crown Brother, will Sister Xin'er die?"

Yu Shen immediately glared at him fiercely: "Shut up! Xin'er will be fine. Don't cry, it will disturb the doctor's treatment."

The Fourth Prince and Xin Nan were both frightened by Yu Shen's stern tone. They both covered their mouths, not daring to cry anymore.

Yu Huaian looked at the arrowhead carefully, put it to his nose and sniffed it, and let out a long sigh: "Fortunately, fortunately! This old thief didn't poison the arrow."

At this time, Ji Wanran had also woken up. She was supported by Liu Niang and staggered to her daughter's bed. Looking at her daughter's pale face, she couldn't help sobbing again.

The Queen Mother hurried forward and personally helped Ji Wanran to sit beside her. The Queen Mother said guiltily: "Madam Qin, I'm sorry, it's all because of me that Xin'er got hurt."

Ji Wanran looked at the Queen, still sobbing, and said nothing. Qin Mingxuan cupped his hands and said, "Queen, don't feel guilty. Nannan and the Queen have a bond and have always been close. She has always shouted that she wants to protect the Queen. Today, the child just fulfilled her promise."

When the Queen heard this, she thought of the cute little chubby girl in the palace. She patted her chest and assured herself, "Xin'er will be able to protect the Queen when she grows up." The Queen couldn't help but sob with Ji Wanran.

At this time, a senior maid approached the Queen and whispered, "Your Majesty, Aunt Ziyuan is still kneeling in the front hall to plead guilty and wait for your punishment."

Speaking of Ziyuan, she recalled that all this was caused by her, and that she had put the prince in danger, which was an unforgivable crime. The queen couldn't help but feel sad when she thought about their friendship over the years.

The queen looked at the prince and said, "Prince, what do you think we should do with her?" The prince hesitated and said, "Let's keep her in custody for the time being. We can't take care of her now. Wait until my father wakes up and let him deal with her." The queen nodded slightly and signaled the senior palace maid to go down and make the arrangements.

After waiting for a long time, the imperial physician finally stood up, wiped the cold sweat off his face with his hand, and reported to the queen: "Your Majesty, Miss Qin was shot quite deep and lost too much blood. Fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous. I have stopped the bleeding and treated her. She should be safe."

"It's just that she lost too much blood. She needs to rest for a while to replenish her blood. Fortunately, Miss Qin has been practicing martial arts and her body is still strong. She should recover soon."

After hearing what the imperial physician said, everyone felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. The queen thanked the heavens again and again: "Thank God for blessing Xin'er, otherwise I would be so guilty."

The Queen then looked at Qin Mingxuan and his wife and said, "Xin'er hasn't woken up yet, so it's not appropriate to move her now. I will let Xin'er recuperate in the palace. There is an imperial physician in the palace, and I promise to give you a lively daughter."

Since the Queen had spoken, Qin Mingxuan and his wife could not refuse. What's more, what the Queen said was true. Qin Mingxuan looked at his wife's frail appearance and was afraid that even if his daughter was at home, he would not be able to take care of her due to her physical condition.

So, Qin Mingxuan nodded and said, "Then my humble husband and I would like to thank the Queen for her concern!" Seeing Ji Wanran's reluctant look, the Queen quickly comforted her, "Madam Qin, please rest assured that you can visit Xin'er in the palace anytime you want. I will issue an imperial decree, and no one will stop you."

Ji Wanran was weak to begin with, and after experiencing such a coup and her daughter's injury, she was already exhausted. She knew that she was unable to take good care of her daughter, so she could only entrust her to the Queen.

Ji Wanran bowed weakly to the queen: "Thank you, Queen!"

Seeing that Xin He's injuries had stabilized, the Queen looked at the Prince again and said, "Jing Rui, the palace has just experienced a turmoil, and people are in a state of flux. Your father has not yet woken up. You should take a few adults with you to deal with the affairs of the palace. Xin He can just rely on the Queen Mother here."

The prince looked at Xinhe who was unconscious on the bed and felt a little ashamed. If he had not been dazed when the arrow was shot, Xinhe would not have fallen down and he would have to save his mother. He was really not as good as this little girl Xinhe.

The queen saw what the prince was thinking and patted him on the shoulder: "Jingrui, don't think about anything else. Do your job as a crown prince at this time. This is the best explanation to your father and Xinhe."

The prince looked at his mother and nodded firmly: "Thank you for your reminder, mother. I will definitely not let my father, mother and sister Xin'er down."

Then, the prince took Yu Huaian and Qin Mingxuan out of the back hall to deal with palace affairs. The fourth prince refused to leave and insisted on staying with Xin Nan to wait for Xin He to wake up.

The queen did not stop them. Seeing that Ji Wanran looked pale and could not hold on any longer, she ordered Liu Niang to help Ji Wanran go down to rest. She stayed in the palace with the two children to watch over Xinhe.

The senior maid named Ziqi came forward and whispered to the queen, "Your Majesty, you have been taking care of the emperor for a few days, and you are exhausted today. I will let you stay here with Miss Xin'er. You can go and have a rest."

The queen looked straight at Xin He on the bed and shook her head gently: "I'm not tired. This child gave up her life to protect me. It's my duty to protect her."

The head maid looked at Xin He lying quietly on the bed, and she felt sad. Miss Xin He was always happy every time she came to the palace, and she was very kind to the maids and eunuchs. She also secretly brought new and delicious food from outside the palace to share with the maids.

But now Miss Xinhe's face is pale, her eyes are closed, and her lifeless appearance is really distressing! Ziqi thought of Ziyuan. They were all working together. Who would have thought that Ziyuan would betray the queen and do such a thing today.

Even though she said it was for her younger brother, Zi Qi had heard Zi Yuan talk about that younger brother in private, saying that it was this younger brother that her parents could not let go of and that this younger brother occupied an important place in Zi Yuan's heart.

Zi Qi knew that Zi Yuan had been secretly looking for her brother, and that all the salary Zi Yuan received was used to hire escort agencies outside the palace to travel all over the country to look for her brother.

Ziqi also reminded Ziyuan that she could ask the Queen to help her find it. Ziyuan shook her head and said that the Queen had too many things to do and she didn't want to trouble the Queen to worry about her.

Who would have thought that this brother would be found by Commandant Shen and used as a reason to threaten Ziyuan to betray her master? Thinking of the Queen's surprised and sad look when she saw Ziyuan betraying her master today, she sighed secretly in her heart. It is still unknown what kind of punishment Ziyuan will receive.

Seeing that the queen was determined not to rest, Zi Qi stepped forward and gently placed a thin blanket on the queen's legs, then stepped aside and quietly stayed by the queen's side.

The Queen has been looking at Xinhe lying on the bed. This child has never been so quiet before. Since entering the palace, this child has been like a little sun, bringing the Queen's long-lost warmth and joy to this quiet palace.

Whenever she smiled and jumped into her arms, the queen felt warm in her heart, extremely fulfilled and happy. The little girl had been greedy since she was a child, and she ate non-stop when she entered the palace. But every time she ate something delicious, she would raise her chubby little hands and put the food to her mouth and insist on having a taste herself.

The child didn't know that she had been in the palace for many years and had eaten all kinds of delicious food. However, when the little fat dumpling put the delicious food into her mouth, the queen realized that eating with the little girl was so delicious, and her mood improved a lot.

The little fat dumpling always hugged me with his chubby little hands and nagged me to eat more and go out more often so that I would feel better.

Indeed, every day watching the two fat kids Xinhe and the Fourth Prince eating and drinking beside her, and then watching the two little guys playing with cats and dogs in the imperial garden, the Queen also felt that life in the palace was not that hard after all.

When the little girl first entered the palace, the Queen found that although the child was the apple of the Qin couple's eye, she seemed like a child who had been away from her parents since childhood, and she was particularly eager for the care and love of her elders.

I only gave the little girl a little care when she first entered the palace, but the little girl wanted to give me her heart and give me all her love.

How could the little love and care he gave her be worth the little girl risking her life to protect him? But this silly girl was so genuine and pure that she always smiled and said that she wanted to protect the queen, and it really wasn't a joke.

As the queen thought about it, tears could not help but drip down her face. Ziqi noticed that the queen was crying, and hurried forward to hand over the silk handkerchief, and gently comforted the queen: "Your Majesty, don't be sad, the imperial physician Zheng Daren said that as long as we take good care of Miss Xinhe, she will definitely get better."

The Fourth Prince and Xin Nan, who were already half asleep, also heard the two of them. Fatty Xin Nan had been holding her sister's hand. When she heard the Queen sobbing, she couldn't help but shed tears.

The little fat boy quickly wiped away the tears that were about to fall with his sleeves, and said to the Queen: "Don't cry, Nan'er. Sister said that Nan'er is the man of the family, and Nan'er must be strong. Don't cry, Queen, sister will definitely get better."

The Fourth Prince felt that what Xin Nan said was absolutely right, and nodded firmly to the Queen: "Nan'er is right, mother, don't be sad. Sister Xin'er will definitely not want you to be so sad, she will definitely wake up as soon as possible."

The queen looked at the two sensible children, nodded and said, "Okay, don't cry, mother. Let's stay with Nan'er and watch over Xin'er. She will definitely wake up."

The Crown Prince, Yu Huaian and Qin Mingxuan have been busy arranging affairs in the palace. A forced abdication has caused panic in the palace, and corpses are strewn all over Kunning Palace. The Crown Prince and others are needed to deal with the follow-up matters.

After the guards in the palace were withdrawn, Concubine Shu brought the Third Prince to visit the Queen and Xin He. When the incident happened, Concubine Shu was about to break into the palace to guard the Queen, but when she got the news, Shen Tuo had already rushed into the palace, and she was stopped by the guards sent by the Crown Prince to protect the harem.

After receiving the news today, Concubine Shu immediately came to Kunning Palace with her equally anxious son. Although Kunning Palace had been cleaned and returned to normal, the air still had a faint smell of blood, and one could imagine how thrilling and tragic the scene was at that time.

Concubine Shu didn't care about anything else and hurried into the inner hall: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" Concubine Shu didn't bother to salute and stepped forward to carefully check the queen's face.

The queen said to her, "I'm fine, thanks to Xin'er." Concubine Shu's voice was also choked with sobs: "I heard that it was thanks to Xin'er who protected you, otherwise..."

Concubine Shu immediately walked to the bedside, looked at Xinhe's face carefully, and asked the imperial physician beside the bed about Xinhe's injuries. When she heard that Xinhe was no longer serious, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She sat at the head of the bed and held Xinhe's little hand: "Good child, the queen loves you well!" The third prince also looked at Xinhe, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, worriedly. He didn't expect that the little girl who was always chattering and arguing with him would have such courage and bravery to block the arrow for the queen.

Concubine Shu and the Empress talked about the affairs of the palace and the harem. The Empress said to Concubine Shu, "I have to stay with the Emperor and Xinhe for a few days. Concubine Shen is also here with me, waiting for Prince Cheng to send the antidote. You should take care of the affairs of the palace and make sure that the harem does not become chaotic."

The Concubine Shu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely keep an eye on everything in the harem."

After that, Concubine Shu asked hesitantly, "Prince Cheng usually travels around and doesn't care about worldly affairs, why is he so worried this time?"

The Queen didn't want to think too much, so she said casually, "I heard from the Crown Prince that the Prince was visiting Southern Xinjiang, and I got the news by chance, so I hurried back to the palace to report it. This time, it was thanks to him that he had the secret medicine from Southern Xinjiang, otherwise the Emperor and Concubine Shen would be in danger."

The Third Prince saw that he was not needed here, so he said goodbye to the Queen and Concubine Shu and went to help the Crown Prince. The Queen looked at the Third Prince's back and said with relief: "After this incident, I realized that the children have grown up. You see, the usually playful Third Prince also knows to take the initiative to help the Crown Prince."

Concubine Shu comforted herself in her heart, but still said with disdain: "You still haven't learned your lesson. If the third brother is still the same as before, I will have to beat him again!"
