After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

At this time, General Yuan Shu laughed, "Let's eat, don't talk about these serious things. Let her go! This time is just to train you, kid. Next time she comes, she will never come back!"

What General Yuan said was true. With all the small shells and smoke screens made by General Yuan, the assassin would have nowhere to hide.

They did not help Yuan Xu on both occasions.

It also allows Yuan Xu to try to stand on his own.

When Yuan Xu was catching the assassin, they were also waiting for news in the room, peeking and eavesdropping.

But both times the assassin disappeared.

I think Yuanxu still needs some growth.

Yuan Xu looked at General Yuan and Madam Yuan with a complaining look, "How dare you say that? We made such a big fuss yesterday when we were catching the assassin, but you didn't even come out."

The couple just laughed.

Madam Yuan looked at little Yuan Zhao with a smile, "Zhao'er, are you used to living in the Helan Mansion? Didn't I ask you to stay a few more days?"

Xiao Yuanzhao curled his lips and said, "I would like to stay longer, because Xiaozhu can play with me there, but my brother always grabs me back in the middle of the night."

After hearing this, Madam Yuan looked at Yuan Xu with disdain. "You, you blockhead! I really don't know how I can count on you. I originally wanted Zhao'er to go over and help you win people's hearts, but now look what's happened. I'm really worried that my daughter-in-law will run away. I heard rumors that Xue Nuoke wants to break off the engagement with you. You should fight for your dignity!"

"Mother, you're talking about this again."

Yuan Xu lowered his head and said nothing. He drank a bowl of chicken porridge and sneaked away.

Madam Yuan held her forehead and said, "I don't know if this child will be able to find a wife in the future."

General Yuan smiled and comforted his wife, "I think Xu'er is fine. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let's not worry about it. Let's just take care of ourselves."

Yuan Xu sent people to strengthen the defense outside Qi Didi's courtyard.

Qi Didi did not leave the yard today, but asked Chun He to deliver lunch and breakfast to the outside of the house.

However, I eat a little more than usual.

In Qi Didi's room, she and a woman were sitting around the table, having dinner. The woman had a long scar running diagonally across her lower face.

This is the female assassin from last night.

Just as Yuan Xu had guessed, the female assassin did not disappear without a trace. Last night, the female assassin broke into Qi Didi's yard. Just when Yuan Xu led people to search, she knocked on Qi Didi's door.

"Chun He?"

There was no echo outside the door. Qi Didi opened the door a little impatiently. The female assassin took her inside and closed the door.

"who are you?"

The female assassin did not reply.

Qi Didi was obviously much calmer.

"I'm just an adopted daughter of the Helan Mansion. Do you think you can escape by blackmailing me? Surely, if you could get here tonight, there would already be a large number of pursuers chasing you. If you kill me, at most you'll use me as a scapegoat. And if you want to hold me hostage in exchange for a chance to escape, I don't think you can get far. How about... you and I work together. I'll help you escape, and if we meet again in the future, you'll have to do me a favor."

"How can I trust you?"

"If I don't help you, you can kill me anytime. But I don't want to die. I cherish my life. As for who you want to kill, I don't care. The lives of people in this world are like ants. What's the harm if a few dozen die?"

"Heh...you have such a cruel heart, girl."

The female assassin put down the knife only after hearing this. Her palm was wrapped around the corner of her clothes, and blood was seeping through it.

Qi Didi took out the moonlight ointment given to her by Helan Xuenuo from the medicine box and applied it on the female assassin's wound. Her movements were gentle and soft, and she felt a burst of warmth in her palms.

After applying the medicine, she took a piece of silk from the medicine box and bandaged her up.

The expression in the female assassin's eyes also changed, and she seemed to be no longer as defensive as she was at the beginning.

"But I don't want to help people for no reason. I don't even know what you look like. If you want to kill me on the street in the future, I won't even know how I die."

As soon as Qi Didi finished speaking, the female assassin took off the veil on her face, revealing her narrow and long phoenix eyes, a very wide distance between her eyebrows, and extremely ordinary facial features, but with a sense of pride.

It’s a pity that the scar on the lower half of his face ruins this already ordinary face.

"It's ugly, right?" The female assassin lowered her head and raised her eyebrows to look at Qi Didi.

"Tomorrow I will find a way to get you into the maids' group and go out together. When they search here, just hide. I will find a way."

The female assassin suddenly laughed at herself. It seemed that she was indeed very ugly. Qi Didi avoided her and didn't even look at her. She didn't even need to answer. She was indeed very ugly.

"But the scar on my face is too obvious."

"I have a solution."

After breakfast, Qi Didi asked Chun He to go to the west courtyard where the maids lived and send over twelve maids. She only said that she needed the maids to clean the courtyard because there was too much dust in the courtyard and she couldn't sleep every night because of coughing.

When the maids came to clean, they murmured, "She didn't have the fate of a girl, but was born with the body of Lin Daiyu."

"Gold is very valuable."

"Our eldest daughter is still the best, she's not spoiled."

A maid pulled them aside and signaled them to stop discussing.

After they finished chatting, they looked at Chunhe's back again, lowered their heads and stopped talking.

After the maids finished cleaning, only Qi Didi's room was left.

Qi Didi specifically pointed to a newly-acquired maid, "One of you can come to my room to clean, the rest of you can go back."

After entering the house, Qi Didi gave the maid a cup of honey tea, and the maid fell asleep.

The female assassin was ready to kill the maid with her sword. Just as her sword was about to fall, Qi Didi said, "No, if she doesn't go back, she will definitely find me. I can't escape. I have other ways to kill her without bloodshed."

The maid was put into a basket and stuffed with clothes.

The female assassin changed into a maid's clothes.

Her face was smooth and the scar was gone.

Qi Didi specially used powder to cover it up for her. This powder was a special beauty powder that Qi Didi asked someone to make for her, and it had pearl powder added to it.

It can be applied on the face to beautify and nourish the skin. When applied on the face, it is almost the same color as the skin tone, which just covers the scar.

The female assassin looked at her intact face in the mirror and was stunned for a moment. She turned around and looked at Qi Didi beside her, and then looked at herself and Qi Didi in the mirror.

Still incomparable.

Just having this intact face was already her luxury.

"Let's go." Qi Didi looked at her with a smile.

When she came back to her senses, there was still a hint of pride between her brows. That kind of superiority was something Qi Didi had only seen in the children of the royal family. She was also a little curious about the identity of the assassin.

The female assassin walked out carrying a basket. The basket was heavy with a person, but it was completely invisible as she was carrying it.

The guards outside the gate stopped her and asked, "What's in the basket?"

"Some girls asked me to take the clothes back for repair."

The palace soldiers were just about to open it and take a look.

Qi Didi's voice chided him from behind, "There are some underwear in there, do you really want to see it?"

A palace soldier immediately bowed his head and said, "I dare not."

He signaled the other soldier to put down his spear.

The female assassin then carried the basket and left.

When she got to the flower hall, she opened the basket, took the maid out and placed her next to the basket.

Her hands were also torn by the force of carrying the basket, and the silk cloth was soaked with blood, a few drops of which dripped into the grass.

Hearing voices approaching, she hurried away.

When the maid was pushed awake by other maids, he touched his head in confusion. She only remembered drinking a cup of tea and then falling asleep, but she didn't know how she ended up lying in the grass.

She opened the basket and found some scraps of quilt scraps inside.

She was puzzled.

"Let's go quickly. The old general and his wife will be back tomorrow. We need to hurry to the East Courtyard to clean up. Otherwise, we will be too late. You are still lying here lazing around."

The maid replied aggrievedly, "I didn't, I..."

"What do you mean by me? Go away."

The maid had no choice but to pick up the basket and follow him.
