After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

She was welcomed into the Hengyang Palace by the eunuchs.

Hengyang Palace has a new owner. Gu Shichengcheng was staring outside the palace. Since Helan came in, his gaze changed. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he stood up and walked towards her.

He reached out to hug Helan Xuenuo, but was pushed away by Helan Xuenuo.

Helan Xuenuo glared at him angrily, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? Why are you summoning me into the palace?"

Gu Shicheng's eyes were filled with tenderness. He bent his body slightly and pleaded softly, "Helan... Now I am the Son of Heaven. The throne is too lonely! You have seen me receive the retribution I deserve these days. Will you please come back to me? Don't worry about anything. As long as you nod, I will immediately make you my empress."

"I beg you, please let me go." Helan Xuenuo's eyes were red and tears fell. After going through so much, she really couldn't accept it, and she was still threatened by Gu Shicheng.

She pulled out the hairpin, put it against her throat, and sneered, "I've been prepared since I entered the palace. Even if I die, I will never surrender to you!"

"Do you hate me so much?" Gu Shicheng's tears fell, and he knelt on the ground, lowering his head and sobbing. "It's God punishing me alone! I lost the one I love! You were right in front of me, by my side, why didn't I know how to cherish you back then?"

Helan Xuenuo was quite shocked by Gu Shicheng's kneeling, but it was too late. She no longer had any love for Gu Shicheng, not even hatred. She didn't even feel pity for Gu Shicheng.

She was begging Gu Shicheng, "Please let me go! Just please let me go!" Helan Xuenuo was almost on the verge of collapse. She picked up the hairpin in the air and prepared to stab it into her neck.

at this time--

Gu Shicheng blocked it with his hand, and the hairpin was inserted into his palm. He snatched the hairpin and threw it away. His hand dropped and blood dripped out.

He felt so sad. She was so close to him but he didn't know how to cherish her. It was not until she died that he realized he had love in his heart. After he was reborn and found out that it was not Helan who drugged her, he realized that he had misunderstood her.

But it's all too late...

He looked up at her and smiled, countless tears streaming down his face. "Go away."

Helan left without looking back. He didn't know why Gu Shicheng summoned him into the palace today. But she knew Gu Shicheng too well. Once he fell in love with someone, he couldn't bear to let that person get hurt.

She was taking advantage of this.

Gu Shicheng stood on the city wall, watching her rush out of the palace without stopping. His heart ached so much that he smiled sadly and asked the imperial physician beside him, "How much time do I have left?"

The imperial physician lowered his head and said, "Ten years."

He suffered repeated heart injuries, which left him with a chronic illness and only ten years to live.

Today, he summoned Helan to the palace, wanting to give it one last try. He originally wanted to use his power to keep him, but he couldn't bear it...

When Helan returned to Helan Mansion, he found that there were many soldiers standing inside. Yuan Xu stood with his back to him, his tone full of anxiety. He was ready to lead these soldiers into the palace.

"Axu..."

Yuan Xu turned around, in disbelief. Tears streamed down his face. He rushed forward to hug her, crying and asking her, "Ren Dong, if I hadn't noticed something was wrong, I wouldn't have come to the mansion to look for you. What did he do when he summoned you to the palace?"

"No...Isn't he coming out safely? Didn't I say I was going to the palace to accompany Empress Tianyuan?" She glanced at General Helan and the old lady, who were also crying loudly. "Father, Mother, why are you crying?"

The Helan elders came up and held their daughter in their arms. Mrs. Helan said, "After you left, the more I think about it, the more wrong it seems!"

"Then we shouldn't let Yuan Xu rebel!" Helan smiled helplessly, feeling very moved in his heart.

Yuan Xu clenched his fists, his eyes reddened. "If he really does something to you, you can't blame me for being a traitor!"

"Okay." Helan Xuenuo wiped his eyes and hugged him tightly with heartache.

The day before the wedding, Yuan Xu sent someone to deliver a wedding dress.

When Helan opened it, she found it was a red wedding dress embroidered with colorful butterflies of various colors, which was magnificent.

This wedding dress was once her dream. She had always wanted to wear such a unique wedding dress and marry her beloved man since she was a child.

In her previous life, she wore a colorful butterfly wedding dress and married a man who didn't love her. Before committing suicide, she wanted to wear the colorful butterfly wedding dress to say goodbye to the past.

When she started over again, everything had changed and she finally married the man she loved.

Helan Xuenuo was so moved that she burst into tears when she touched her wedding dress.

Her marriage caused a huge sensation. Even Queen Tianyuan and Gu Qingyue sent a lot of gifts, which amounted to about ten boxes.

On this day, a daughter and a son were born in the Helan family, and the Helan elders adopted Mu Kong and Xiao Zhu as their adopted sons and daughters.

She didn't know why Mu Kong suddenly nodded.

Mu Kong came to the South Courtyard to find her at dusk. He bowed to Helan and wished her all the best. He planned to go to the border to stay permanently.

Helan smiled and said, "Mukong, you are my sworn brother now. You can't stay outside the Great Wall all year round. You should come back often. You are old enough and it's time for you to get married."

"I do not want……"

"What's wrong? Don't you have a sweetheart?"

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and he smiled gently and said, "Girl." After a pause, he said, "Goodbye."

"The mountains are high and the waters are long, we will meet again in the future."

Mu Kong's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor...

Helan still felt a little emotional. When Xiaozhu heard the news that Mu Kong was gone, she cried for a while.

Helan asked her, "Didn't you say you didn't like Mu Kong?"

"I don't like him anymore, but I still feel sad! He is my master and now he is my sworn brother, and I... I once liked him..." Xiao Zhu cried until dark.

After dark, Huang Jiuyuan came to visit the mansion. He stuffed a small wooden box into Helan Xuenuo's arms and said to her, "Xuenuo, if it were before, I would definitely tell you to cancel the engagement and marry me! But I don't have the nerve to say such words now. We still have a long time to live. I just hope that all you wish for will come true. You must have more children! If there's a chance... if there's a chance... I'll help you raise them."

Helan Xuenuo didn't know why Huang Jiuyuan sounded like he was crying. He was wearing half a mask, and in a trance he was still that extremely handsome young man.

Helan Xuenuo reached out to take off his mask. Huang Jiuyuan did not stop him. After the mask was removed, Huang Jiuyuan lowered his head and said, "It's ugly, isn't it?"

A burn mark half the size of a palm was left on the side of his ear.

Helan Xuenuo smiled and said, "I always thought you were stunningly beautiful, but I didn't expect... this scar wouldn't affect your beauty at all."

"really?"

"Really!" Helan Xuenuo smiled and pushed the mask into his hands. "Don't wear a mask anymore. A little injury won't affect your handsomeness!"

Huang Jiuyuan nodded, a smile appearing on his face.

"Xue Nuo, can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it? Just tell me."

"I'm also a member of the cabinet now, and I'm busy on weekdays. Sometimes I'm too busy to go back to the mansion. Aunt Yuan is taking care of Huang Yuantu alone. I've been watching him since he was a child. He's good at observing the celestial phenomena, and he might be able to contribute to your marches and battles. If you have time in the future, please help me take care of him. Doesn't General Yuan's younger brother, Yuanzhao, need company too? We can let them play together."

"It's a small matter. I'll do what you say."

A look of loneliness flashed across Huang Jiuyuan's eyes. He bowed and said goodbye.

Helan Xuenuo always felt something was weird.
