After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Chapter 112 The farce is over

Huang Weiming was a little scared at first, afraid that someone would die. Seeing that they were fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and said sarcastically, "Haha, they're not dead?"

Yuan Xu was already extremely impatient. He turned over and slapped him in the face. "This is a warning. Today's account will be counted on you. If you dare to touch her again, I will make sure you die without even knowing how."

Huang Weiming is the second son of the prime minister's family. Although he is a concubine's son, the prime minister loves him more than Huang Jiuyuan. This is the first time he has suffered such humiliation in public, and he will never swallow it.

He saw a dagger dropped on the ground, which was the one dropped when Yuan Xu was teasing him just now. He picked up the dagger and rushed towards Helan Xuenuo. Since he couldn't beat Yuan Xu, he had to hurt Helan Xuenuo anyway to make Yuan Xu uncomfortable. When he rushed over, everyone was surprised.

When Yuan Xu dodged back, Gu Shicheng was one step ahead of him, knocked down the dagger, and kicked him to the ground. Blood flowed from Huang Weiming's mouth. Gu Shicheng's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he looked at him gloomily, "That's enough. If you don't get out of here, I will let you die here."

Yuan Xu and Helan Xuenuo were all looking at the scene in surprise. It was really abnormal. Helan Xuenuo recalled that Gu Shicheng had just jumped into the river to save her, and refused to let go even though she bit him. He also pushed Qi Didi and hit Huang Weiming, who had nothing to do with him. These scenes made him feel that Gu Shicheng had been possessed by someone.

Gu Shicheng seemed to have anticipated her surprise and said coldly, "You hurt someone in front of me, no matter who it is. Who do you think I am?"

Huang Weiming then realized that he had lost his mind. He didn't expect that Helan Xuenuo would have so many people defending him. No matter who he offended, he must not offend King Ding'an. The murderous intent in Gu Shicheng's eyes made him shrink a little. He looked at the two good friends beside him. The two came forward to support him and left in disgrace.

When he left, he was unwilling to look back. He was shocked to find that Qi Didi's eyes were filled with the same unwillingness as his. A plan came to his mind. He was determined to avenge this grudge. He gritted his teeth and said, "Bitch, sooner or later I will kill you."

Qi Didi was jealous, her eyes reddened. Why? Why was she so lucky? She hadn't been sure at first, but after this incident, she was certain that Gu Shicheng always cared about Helan Xuenuo. Jealousy drove her crazy. She glanced at Cui'er, who understood the meaning in her eyes. Qi Didi stumbled backwards, and Cui'er caught her. Cui'er hurriedly shouted in panic, "Your Highness, the Consort has fainted."

Gu Shicheng turned around and took Qi Didi from Cui'er's hand, and carried her horizontally, "Let's go back home." Helan Xuenuo's eyes were on Cui'er's hands. Cui'er noticed her gaze, hid her hands in her sleeves, and followed Gu Shicheng away.

A farce ended.

Helan Xuenuo said to Huang Jiuyuan, "How come you have no dignity at all? You don't even give me the slightest bit of respect in front of everyone else, deliberately trying to embarrass you. Your second brother is truly disgusting."

They were all soaked. Huang Jiuyuan pinched his clothes and twisted them vigorously, splashing water all over the ground. He said as if he was used to it, "He's used to it. He always put on an act in front of my father in the mansion. I was often beaten for it when I was a child. My mother passed away early, and I didn't have her to protect me. Now that I'm older, I have some strength to fight back. He and his mother are exactly the same. He wishes I were dead so that my father could make his mother the legal wife and him the legitimate son."

Huang Jiuyuan shook his head. "It's a pity that my father likes to show off in public. How could he possibly support a concubine as his legal wife? Wouldn't that make people laugh if it got out?"

Helan Xuenuo felt deeply that Huang Jiuyuan had a difficult life, and there was suddenly a bit more pity in her eyes. If Huang Jiuyuan had not lost his mother at a young age, would he not have lived such an absurd life?

Yuan Xu said, "Everyone is soaked. If we stay any longer, we'll catch a cold. Let's go back."

"Okay." Helan Xuenuo was concerned about Yuan Xu's injury. "Come back home with me. I'll apply medicine on you first."

"Then I'll go too?" Huang Jiuyuan looked expectant.

"I'm afraid not. If my father and mother knew that I was playing with you, they would definitely scold me. You'd better go home as soon as possible, otherwise your second brother will get the better of you and complain."

A hint of disappointment flashed across Huang Jiuyuan's face, but he immediately suppressed his smile. "Okay, then... I'll be back first."

Helan Xuenuo sensed something. No matter what, Huang Jiuyuan had jumped into the river with the intention of saving her. She had already had a place for this friend in her heart. She regretted what she had just said and hurriedly explained, "I was just teasing you. My father and mother are not pedantic people. If you want to come, come back to the Helan Mansion with me. The Helan Mansion will also be celebrating the August Festival tonight, and it will be very lively. I was just worried that your second brother would be the first to complain, and you would inevitably suffer the consequences, so I asked you to return home."

Huang Jiuyuan said, "No need to explain, I understand. It's late tonight, and my second brother is a tough guy. I really should go back, lest he exaggerates and causes me to be punished by my father again. And my grandmother is waiting for me to go back for the festival."

After they said goodbye to each other, Helan Xuenuo followed Yuan Xu away. When she looked back, Huang Jiuyuan had not left yet. His wet clothes were sticking to his body. He was staring at the moat in a daze. After a while, he also left.

Helan Xuenuo and Yuanxu returned to the Helan Mansion. When they arrived at the South Courtyard, Xiaozhu had already returned. She asked Xiaozhu to find some clothes, and she and Yuanxu changed into dry clothes.

Xiao Zhu smiled secretly and slipped back to her room.

There was only a big mulberry tree left in the south courtyard, and two people were sitting under the tree.

When Helan Xuenuo was about to apply medicine to his wound, she realized that in her haste, she had bandaged the wound with wet clothes. The wound would only hurt more if it came into contact with water. However, Yuan Xu said nothing and felt a little angry.

She said anxiously, "Give me your hand quickly."

Yuan Xu held out his hand. Helan Xuenuo removed the wet cloth and complained, "I used the wet corner of my clothes to bandage your wound. Why didn't you say anything? Doesn't it hurt?"

"No pain."

Helan Xuenuo smiled and sprinkled the potion on his wound. Yuan Xu frowned. Helan Xuenuo smiled and said, "So, it hurts?"

Yuan Xu looked up at the tree full of mulberries and said, "You've taken such good care of this tree."

"I remember you couldn't stand the smell of this back then. When did you stop being afraid?"

"Hmm...it just got better. I don't know why." Yuan Xu smiled bitterly. This was all learned from years of practice. He'd heard that a large mulberry tree had grown in the south courtyard of Helan Xuenuo. He was worried that when he returned, he'd never be able to enter the south courtyard again. So, from that time on, he'd placed mulberry branches by his pillow and drank mulberry wine. Day after day, he'd gotten used to it.

Helan Xuenuo took out the medicine powder and sprinkled it lightly on Yuan Xu's wound, then took out a bandage to bandage him up. After bandaging him, she turned around to look for Xiaozhu, but Xiaozhu had disappeared.

She knew very well what this devilish girl was thinking.

Remembering that she hadn't spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with her parents yet, and that they should be waiting for her in the courtyard, she asked, "Will you stay and celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at the Helan Mansion?"

"it is good."

When the two of them arrived at the compound, General Helan and the old lady were sitting at the table waiting for her. The table was filled with various foods and moon cakes.

Seeing Yuan Xu also coming, the two elders were surprised, and only joy was left in their eyes. General Helan said with a smile, "This year we are truly reunited."

Helan Xuenuo gave the old general a wink, and the old general immediately stopped laughing.

They sat at the table eating moon cakes and chatting about some interesting things, from their childhood to when they grew up, and then talked about when they would get married.

Helan Xuenuo hurriedly said, "Father and Mother, there's no hurry yet."

Yuan Xu also said, "Well, no rush."

At this time————————

A bunch of maids and servants came to the compound. Every year they would gather in the compound to release Kongming lanterns, each holding one.

Helan Xuenuo was afraid that her parents would pull her aside and say something more, so she quickly winked at Yuan Xu. Yuan Xu understood, and Helan Xuenuo said, "Dad and Mom, let's go fly Kongming lanterns."

"Go ahead." Old Madam Helan said with a smile.

A maid saw them coming and immediately handed them a Kongming lantern, "Miss, light one too."

Helan Xuenuo took it and lit it together with Yuanxu. Yuanxu asked, "Do you want to write something?"

Helan Xuenuo shook her head.

The words she wanted to write had long since drifted away with the lanterns.

The two men let go of their hands, and the Kongming lantern filled with air and floated up into the sky following the big guy's lantern.

She really hoped that the days to come could be so peaceful, that everyone in Helan Prefecture could live in peace, and that the people of Donglai could live in peace and prosperity.

In the previous life, many ministers died in the struggle for the throne, and many families were even executed.

If Gu Yanli were to ascend the throne again, would everything remain the same?

This time she should reconsider.

Remembering that Chen Shian would be assassinated when he returned to Beijing in a few days, and that she would not be able to save him on her own, she looked at Yuan Xu and asked, "Do you know Chen Shian?"
