After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Chapter 22 The first clues emerge

When Helan Xuenuo arrived at the training ground, he saw Xiaozhu majestically disciplining a few servants from a distance.

Xiaozhu saw Helan Xuenuo and waved with a smile. Mu Kong was standing next to her. Mu Kong followed her gaze, nodded and smiled at Helan Xuenuo, then immediately looked away.

Helan Xuenuo smiled and nodded in response to them before walking towards the archery range.

When she arrived at the archery range, Yuan Xu was leaning his head on a yellow wooden couch. She didn't even know when the couch was moved in. She thought that Yuan Xu was capable of anything.

When Yuan Xu saw her coming, he stood up from the couch, walked to the shelf, took a bow from the shelf and handed it to her, saying, "It seems that you listened to me."

"Are you talking about Qi Didi?" Helan Xuenuo has always had a strong ability to understand things, and she understood what Yuan Xu meant as soon as he finished speaking.

Yuan Xu nodded.

Helan Xuenuo drew his bow and aimed at the target, shrugging his shoulders and saying, "I've only learned from my mistakes. I only do harmless things that won't kill anyone."

Yuan Xu stood beside her with his hands folded behind his back, looking at the target. "It's great that you can do this. You were too naive before. Now it's perfect. If you have any problems in the future, you don't have to handle them alone. You can talk to me."

After Helan Xuenuo shot an arrow, she said slowly, "There is something I really need your help with."

"What's the matter?"

"Help me find out why the Qi family was ransacked and why Qi's parents were executed." Helan Xuenuo drew the bow again and aimed at the target.

Yuan Xu nodded and said, "It's a small matter. I'll send someone to investigate thoroughly."

After Yuan Xu finished speaking, Helan Xuenuo let go and shot an arrow.

"You haven't told me why you kicked the prince?" Yuan Xu looked at her with curious eyes, waiting for her to come up with an explanation.

Unexpectedly, Helan Xuenuo shrugged and pouted, "I just simply don't like him."

Yuan Xu looked at Helan Xuenuo and knew that it was not that simple, but he did not ask any more questions.

Helan Xuenuo used all her strength in this kick. Gu Shicheng didn't feel anything at first, but he didn't expect the kick to have such strong force.

He pulled up one side of his underwear, revealing a brown bruise with blood clotted into a mass, but he didn't feel any pain from the injury.

"Your Highness, who hurt you?" A black-clad guard beside him was looking at his bruises with concern.

"She's just an ignorant young lady. I don't know whether she did it on purpose or accidentally." Gu Shicheng's face was very calm, his hands hanging on his legs, with a bruise on one of his thighs. An ordinary person would have screamed in pain, but he was very calm.

Anger crossed the black-clad guard's face. "Which lady is this? I'll go and capture her."

The maid from the palace brought a wooden tray of medicine. He picked one up and put the tray on the rosewood table beside him. She took the medicine handed over by Gu Shicheng, bent down and applied it, without saying a word throughout the whole process, as if she could not hear the conversation between Gu Shicheng and the black-clothed guards.

"Forget it, Zhufeng. It's just a minor quarrel. Let her be." After the maid applied the medicine, Gu Shicheng dusted off his clothes and stood up.

"Go out."

When the maid heard Gu Shicheng's order, she nodded and lowered her head, took the wooden plate and walked out, closing the door as she left.

After the door closed, Zhu Feng's expression returned to seriousness. He bent down and reported to Gu Shicheng, "In the past few days, the Second Prince has repeatedly stopped General Helan in the court, saying that he wants to drink with him, but General Helan has declined. Most of the important ministers in the court have expressed their willingness to follow the Second Prince."

"Old General Helan?"

Zhu Feng looked up and saw a glint of curiosity in Gu Shicheng's eyes. He lowered his head and replied, "Old General Helan controls important military matters and three-quarters of Donglai's troops. I think he is trying to win over Old General Helan, but Old General Helan has always obeyed Your Majesty. He has repeatedly refused to give up. The Second Prince has also sent people to secretly monitor the Helan Mansion, especially the Helan Mansion's daughter. I really don't know what he is trying to do."

Gu Shicheng smiled, his eyes dark and deep, his voice low and magnetic, "I know what he's going to do."

Gu Shicheng recalled the conversation between Gu Yanli and him today. It seemed that he was interested in the Helan Mansion behind Helan Xuenuo. However, Helan Xuenuo had rejected Gu Yanli many times, which he found interesting.

Helan Xuenuo had long noticed Gu Yanli's feelings, but what she didn't expect was that Gu Yanli fell in love with the Helan Mansion.

She rode a pony and followed Yuan Xu. Helan Xuenuo had always been smart, and after Yuan Xu's guidance, she was able to trot on the horse.

Xiao Zhu was lying outside the wooden fence of the riding field, watching Helan Xuenuo riding the horse. She watched Helan Xuenuo trotting on the horse, her skirt blown by the wind, looking quite heroic. For a moment, she saw the shadow of the old lady in Helan Xuenuo.

Old Madam Helan is as capable as any man, and half of the Helan Mansion's sky depends on her.

Xiaozhu was also picked up by Madam Helan. She was only three years old that year and was squatting beside the bodies of her dead parents. She still can't forget the stench of the corpses.

That's right, she was very grateful to the old lady and the old general, and even regarded Helan Xuenuo as someone she must protect in this life.

Even if it means exchanging her life for the girl's.

That's why in the previous life, Xiao Zhu was willing to be pierced by thousands of holes just to protect Helan Xuenuo and help her find freedom.

Helan Xuenuo turned around and saw Xiaozhu, who was standing at the fence staring at her blankly. Xiaozhu was relatively young, and after putting on her training clothes, she looked like a tomboy, but her face was still a childish baby face.

After riding for a while, she felt pain in her buttocks and began to move left and right, and Yuan Xu saw her movements.

"Everyone will be like this when they first start riding. You'll get used to it. Go back early. Your rascal maid is waiting for you."

Yuan Xu looked at Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu raised her eyes to look at Yuan Xu and glared at him. She had a reason for glaring at Yuan Xu. She often heard her young lady belittle Yuan Xu and wanted to break off the engagement with Yuan Xu, but she didn't know that it was Helan Xuunuo before her rebirth.

She felt that her daughter must have been coerced into asking him to teach her.

"Have you been saying bad things about me to her? She rolled her eyes at me several times while I was talking to you." Yuan Xu looked aggrieved and unhappy.

Helan Xuenuo looked at Xiaozhu. Xiaozhu was about to roll her eyes at Yuanxu, but when she saw her own girl looking at her, her eyes turned into smiles.

Helan Xuenuo smiled and shook her head helplessly.
