Helan Xuenuo raised her eyes and met Gu Shicheng's sidelong glance. There was an irresistible majesty in his eyes.

In her previous life, Helan Xuenuo had read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, but she did not understand the truth contained therein. Now, when she thinks back on it, her views have changed.

She didn't want to reread the books she had read in her next life. Although she had just taken a nap, she heard everything Gu Shicheng was saying clearly with her other ear. She said confidently, "The doctrine of the mean follows nature, works in harmony with nature and in harmony with the human heart."

After hearing this, Gu Shicheng turned around and walked back. At this time, Helan Xuenuo's voice came, "Master, I have something I want to ask you."

Gu Shicheng didn't stop walking. He walked to the hall slowly and sat down. He slowly said, "What's the matter? Miss Helan, who needs to do two things at once, would like to ask me for advice?"

Helan Xuenuo looked at Gu Shicheng in front of her. This Gu Shicheng was from this life, while the Gu Shicheng who had hurt her in the previous life was already dead. But she couldn't act as if nothing had happened. She wanted to embarrass Gu Shicheng. There was a hint of scorn in her tone. "Master, do you have to follow the doctrine of the mean even with a villain? If she killed my parents and took the lives of my sisters, do you still have to follow the doctrine of the mean?"

Gu Shicheng's face was surprisingly calm, as if nothing could make him panic. However, Helan Xuenuo had seen Gu Shicheng panic several times, but those times were all related to Qi Didi.

After a long moment, Gu Shicheng's deep, heavy voice echoed through the hall. "I will do anything to achieve my goals. If you join me in this quest for revenge, it will be an endless cycle. Killing your enemies is nothing; getting them to do things for you is a true skill. But... when you seek revenge, remember to never forget your original intention."

He looked up at Helan Xuenuo, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes, "We can eradicate the roots if necessary."

Their conversation ended only after a round of applause. Princess Gu Qingyue stood up and applauded, "Cousin, your opinion is similar to my hero's. Very good, very good."

Gu Shicheng withdrew his gaze from Helan Xuenuo and raised an eyebrow at the princess. The princess immediately changed her tone and said, "Master...Master, this girl from the Helan family is truly extraordinary. She is completely different from the fool that people say she is. It seems that I was shortsighted before. I will definitely seek advice from Miss Helan when I have the chance in the future."

After Princess Gu Qingyue finished speaking, she looked at Helan Xuenuo, nodded and smiled, and Helan Xuenuo also responded with a smile in her bright eyes.

She remembered that in her previous life, Princess Gu Qingyue had never been married. After the Hengyang Palace Incident, she asked Gu Yanli to give up her princess identity and serve as a female official in the court, becoming a different woman.

However, after Gu Yanli died, she also passed away suddenly due to illness. When she was around, she often disagreed with Qi Didi, which made Qi Didi hate her very much. It seems that Gu Qingyue's death was not simple.

It is not easy for a woman to be an official. After losing her brother's support, naturally no one would flatter her anymore. It seems that this world is still unfair.

Helan Xuenuo simply looked at the princess as she sat down. As she sat down, a breeze blew the silk screens beside her, causing them to flutter gently before being held down by the wearer's hand.

She looked to the side of the princess, where a woman wearing a veil was sitting. The woman wearing the veil was the current princess, the daughter of King Luo Ming. After the current emperor ascended the throne, King Luo Ming went to his fiefdom, Qinghuai City, to guard the border.

Later, the palace was ambushed and besieged by the Ulan Kingdom and the Red Seal Kingdom. When General Helan and General Yuan arrived, there was only one person left alive in the palace, and that person was the current princess.

After repelling the Ulan Kingdom and the Red Seal Kingdom, the poor princess returned to the capital. Because she was still young, she was raised by the queen and was named Princess Ning'an.

It was rumored that Princess Ning'an's face was cut beyond recognition during the war, and she lost too much blood and fainted. The enemy thought she was dead, so they let her escape.

From then on, the princess wore a veil all day long and no longer showed her true face to anyone. It was once rumored that a palace maid witnessed the true appearance of Princess Ning'an and was frightened to death.

In her previous life, after the death of the new emperor Gu Yanli, the princess entered a Taoist temple and became a Taoist nun, and never came down the mountain again.

Helan Xuenuo suddenly felt a little hot from the side. Someone was watching her. She followed the line of sight and saw Shen Yinzhen glaring at him with disdain. Helan Xuenuo just curled the corners of her mouth, narrowed her eyes, and mouthed two words, "Stupid bag."

Shen Yinzhen was one seat away from her, with Qi Didi sitting in the middle. Shen Yinzhen's lips were tightly pursed at the moment, and her neck was red. She glared at Helan Xuenuo, holding a brush tightly in her hand.

Qi Didi took it all in. Every scene she had just witnessed made her feel that Helan Xuenuo had changed a lot, a feeling she didn't know where to begin. However, she knew this was extremely disadvantageous to her. Her brows knitted together, and she gritted her teeth, clutching the scroll in her hand.

Only Helan Xuenuo supported her chin, leaned against the table, and looked out the window lazily.

After school, Shen Yinzhen took Wen Yulan and several other ladies to wait outside the hall. She stood with her hands on her hips watching Helan Xuenuo and Qi Didi walk out.

Then she stepped on the hem of Qi Didi's skirt, and Qi Didi almost fell. Gu Shicheng caught her in time and immediately straightened her up.

Then he flicked his sleeves, impatience written on his face. He looked at Shen Yinzhen fiercely, and Shen Yinzhen unconsciously took a step back.

"I think I didn't have enough homework. I'll go home and copy everything I learned a hundred times today."

Shen Yinzhen's face was filled with dissatisfaction. "Master? Why are you protecting the daughter of a Wu family? This isn't the place for them to study."

At this time, Gu Shicheng's voice became louder, and his impatience had reached its peak. Helan Xuenuo saw his expression and understood it very well. If Shen Yinzhen said any more nonsense, Gu Shicheng might strangle her to death in the next second. "Don't say any more. If such superficial things happen again in the future, I will report it to the emperor and have the Minister of Personnel take you back to learn the ways of the world."

Shen Yinzhen stamped her feet in anger, but dared not say anything. The several civil servants behind her also stopped talking and left together.

Helan Xuenuo looked at their departing backs. From the way Shen Yinzhen walked, it could be seen that her lungs were probably about to explode with anger. She couldn't help laughing.

"Thank you, Master, for rescuing me."

Helan Xuenuo looked in the direction of the voice and saw Qi Didi kneeling and thanking Gu Shicheng.

It was as if he had returned to his previous life. No matter in the previous life or this life, Gu Shicheng would still protect Qi Didi.

Gu Shicheng smiled gently at Qi Didi, then turned and looked seriously at Helan Xuenuo. Helan Xuenuo suddenly felt a little uneasy. He said, "Miss Helan, you have also experienced what happened today. Go back and copy it twenty times and give it to me for inspection tomorrow."

Helan Xuenuo's anger suddenly ignited. She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Master."
